Bones star Emily Deschanel is encouraging moms to boycott cows' milk and embrace a vegan diet to show compassion for cattle.

The 36 year-old actress has teamed up with animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for a new video campaign urging women to raise their children on vegan diets and stop supporting the "cruel" dairy industry.

In the video, Deschanel, who has a 20-month-old son Henry, says, "As a mother, I experience the joy of raising my son every day. But not all moms are so lucky. Mother cows on dairy farms have their young traumatically torn...

The show got off to an excellent start. Not only did a farmer run over a headless corpse that had been quite ravaged by time and wolves, but Booth informed Bones he was interested in investing asteroid mining. Honestly, I call that a quality start to anything other than Saturday morning cartoons!

Booth has it all figured out. The company needs about $2 billion in seed money to go round up approximately $50 billion in platinum. The conversation at the diner was going swimmingly well until a bloody and bruised somebody burst into the diner hollering for Bones, and reached into his bag tellin...

While many of the opening scenes of Bones can be classified as gruesome, this particular opening featured the remains of a body stuffed into a suitcase; seriously gruesome.

While I wouldn't call gruesome openings a pet peeve of mine, I do have major issues with people helping me with crossword puzzles, as though I need anyone's help after several challenging hours of staring at silly clues. Still, don't help me!

I was going crazy watching Bones hovering like a helicopter parent as Booth struggled, like someone else I know, to solve even the simplest clues. I wanted to jump through the TV ...

Here's the upshot of this episode of Bones: Temperance gets shot while working late at the lab and a personal journey of discovery transpires as she carries on a conversation with her dead mother (Brooke Langton). 

Rewind the clock a few minutes before getting shot, we see Bones and Booth arguing at home with Booth telling her she's not spontaneous enough. Isn't this always how it happens? Get into a fight, say some mean things you wished you hadn’t, one of your storms out to go for a walk or back to the office, and something dreadful happens. I really felt for Booth, emotionally, on every...

Tonight's episode of Bones, "The Shot in the Dark," is a major one for the long-running FOX series. After an incident in the Jeffersonian lab, Dr. Temperance Brennan gets a chance to come face-to-face with her past, quite literally. BFTV recently spoke with Brennan herself, star Emily Deschanel, about what happens in "The Shot in the Dark" and what it means for Brennan, Booth and audiences.

(SPOILER ALERT - This interview contains spoilers for tonight's episode of Bones.)

"After watching the episode, I think that viewers will have a better idea of why Brennan behaves in the way that she d...

Who knew roller derby could be so brutal? Okay, we all knew, but not like this. Not all dismembered like, ya know?

It was a messy start to this week's episode of Bones on Fox Television. It's not every day that a dismembered roller derby competitor is discovered. Even for Bones this was a bit of a gory start, but I guess it kind of had to start this way if we were ever going to see Angela on a roller derby team.

That's right; Angela goes undercover as fresh meat into the world of hip-whips, jammers, helmet panties, and pivots. What's really fun for viewers of episodes like this one is get...

I dare you to tell me there's a better way to start an episode of Bones than some geeks falling off their Segways into a pile of flesh-eating bugs devouring a human carcass. Oh, and thrown in for good measure is Daisy (Carla Gallo) working her first case since she and Sweets called it quits. Or, if you prefer like I do, Sweets agonizing over the prospect of inadvertently running into Daisy as he works this case.

Either way, it was a cracking good start to the episode, and that's all that matters!

On a more serious note, this episode starts off with a very interesting crime. The body fou...

When babies cry at night we wake up and take care of their needs. When they cry at night because a skinned corpse is hanging from the ceiling, we still wake up but WOW our heart is racing!

And so the new episode of Bones opens and Hodgins and Angela are immediately part of the action. The thought, of course, is Christopher Pelant (Andrew Leeds) is back with a vengeance. If you'll remember back just one season, Pelant (or Bassam Alfayat, if you prefer) is a serial killer who framed Bones for murder.

Pelant's character represents the worst of humanity but he's also brilliant, which makes hi...

After a six week hiatus—or should we say we haven't seen "Bones" since last year—our favorite forensics science show is finally back where it belongs: in your living rooms! In fact, it's back in a big way with a two-hour mid-season special as a way of saying, "Thanks for enduring without us during the college football bowl season."

From the very first scene, there's no question the hiatus is over.  Sweets (John Francis Daley) is watching a television reality show about ghost hunting when the hunter finds what looks to be one of the incredible apparitions imaginable: a jewel-encrusted cor...

Like most of the best shows, "Bones" went on a holiday hiatus while the rest of the world indulged in fruitcake and put up with noisy relatives. Then, like the holidays themselves, TV schedules give way to getting back on a routine, meaning we go back to watching "Bones." And, just in case all of that holiday booze went to your head, here are some of the things to remember about the show before it went on break and what you can expect now that it's back.

The Ghost

The half-season's last episode wasn't the tongue in cheek flirty fare that we're used to when watching "Bones." Instead it w...

FOX has released its primetime schedule for the 2012-2013 television season, adding three new comedies and two dramas to its slate. "Glee" will move this fall to Thursdays, following all-new installments of "The X Factor," which will feature two new judges (Britney Spears and Demi Lovato).

This fall, two new half-hour comedies – "The Mindy Project" and "Ben And Kate" – will join "Raising Hope" and "New Girl" on an all-new Tuesday night comedy block.

"The Mindy Project" features Mindy Kaling as a skilled OB/GYN navigating the tricky waters of both her personal and professional life, as sh...

J.J. Abrams' prison drama Alcatraz has been axed after just one season on air.

The show, starring Sam Neill and Lost's Jorge Garcia, was based around San Francisco's legendary Alcatraz prison and focused on the mysterious reappearance of prisoners and guards who vanished from the island jail in the 1960s.

Nevertheless, fans won't get to see a second season after bosses at the Fox network pulled the plug on the show this week.

Fox chiefs have also axed Bones spin-off The Finder, but they renewed Kiefer Sutherland's TV drama Touch for a second series, according to EW.com.

Oh, Burn Notice. You lure me in with the explosions, but I keep you around because your characters are just so much fun to spend a Thursday night with.

Johnny Depp remained humble as he accepted an acting award at the Austin Film Festival in Texas on Saturday, insisting he has built his career on "20 years of failures."

The Hollywood star accepted the event's inaugural Extraordinary Contribution to Film - Acting prize at a glitzy ceremony, and he told the crowd of his surprise at his extraordinary success.

He said, "I've built a career on 20 years of failures."

At the event, Depp also handed out a prize to screenwriter Caroline Thompson, his longtime friend who wrote the script for his 1990 movie Edward Scissorhands, while Bones star...

Bosses of a dating website specializing in extra-marital affairs have offered actor David Boreanaz a $250,000 deal to become the company's spokesperson.

The "Bones" star confessed he had cheated on his wife Jaime Bergman with Tiger Woods' alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel last year, and recently admitted the affair actually made his marriage better because the couple fought to save their relationship.

His admission has attracted the attention of bosses at AshleyMadison.com - an online dating service for people who are already in relationships.

They are now offering Boreanaz a big cash deal...

Actress Emily Deschanel is celebrating after giving birth to a son on Wednesday.

Little Henry Hornsby is the first child for the Bones star and her actor husband David Hornsby.

Deschanel's pal and Bones co-star T. J. Thyne took to his Twitter.com page to share the news, writing, "Congratulations Emily D!! Yay yay yay!!!"

The proud parents' new arrival came just four days before their first wedding anniversary - they married on September 25th in Los Angeles.

If Emily Deschanel’s character on the Fox TV series Bones, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, is decidedly awkward socially, Deschanel is anything but.

An outspoken vegan committed to animal-protection organizations like Farm Sanctuary, Deschanel, 35, and her husband, actor/writer David Hornsby, are expecting their first child this fall. (As you might be able to tell from their similarly striking blue eyes, her sister is actress-singer Zooey Deschanel.)

Fit Pregnancy magazine recently talked with her in Los Angeles during her eighth month.

Another television season has come and gone with the usual blitzkrieg of shocking deaths, double-crosses, surprise pregnancies, and aggravating cliffhangers. It was a varied batch of season finales: some were amazing; others were lackluster; and a few finales left me counting the jumping sharks. I can’t watch every finale, but here’s a sampling of the awesomely good and the appallingly bad.

Let’s break it down.

The Good:

“The Good Wife” CBS

Julianna Margulies is fantastic as Alicia Florrick, the scorned wife trying to rebuild her life after her husband’s famed infidelities. The seco...

May sweeps is coming to an end and many TV shows are concluding the season with shocking and unexpected finales. Season finales are best known for their dramatic moments and thrilling cliffhangers, making them memorable episodes for many viewers. But sometimes they are so disappointing and unbearable to watch, viewers would rather forget about them than to remember their horrible plots or storylines. Here are a list of season finales that have left viewers scratching their heads and trying to figure out what they just watched.

The Sopranos: "Made In America" (Season 6)

“Slice of Death” opens with a body reveal worthy of Bones. A man and woman stumble into a restaurant, kissing passionately. The woman squeals a requisite “I have to tweet this” to inform us that the man she’s currently making out with is some sort of celebrity. She refers to him as “Terrific Nick,” but he corrects her: “Authentic Nick.” Seeing as this is New York, they can only be one place: a pizza restaurant. The girl comments on the (wonderful) smell in the restaurant. They investigate and discover (gross) a body in the pizza oven. Cut to (grosser) Castle frying bacon for Alexis.

The B ...

Actress Emily Deschanel, 34, is set to become a mom - she's pregnant with her first child.

The Bones star and her husband, actor David Hornsby, began dating in 2007 and wed in a small ceremony last September.

Hornsby plays recurring character Rickety Cricket on hit F/X sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

The actress is due later this year, reports People.com.

David Boreanaz has put a sexual harassment lawsuit behind him -- the one where a "Bones" actress claims he came onto her while she worked on the show.

Kristina Hagan -- an extra -- claimed David sent her "sexually inappropriate text messages," saying he could "make things happen for her." She made many other lurid claims as well.

When the lawsuit was filed, David's lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, said the allegations were "absurd."

Kristina was repped by Gloria Allred, who sued both FOX and David.

The terms of the settlement are confidential.

Natalie Portman was left red-faced at the Environmental Media Awards on Saturday after organizers aired a clip of her singing about recycling when she was just 11 years old.

The actress was presenting a prize at the ceremony in Burbank, California when footage of her as a youngster, dancing and singing about the benefits of recycling, began to roll.

Portman laughed off the embarrassing gag and went on to hand the EMA Corporate Responsibility Award to Jeff Skoll, producer of "The Cove" and environmental movie "The Crazies."

David Boreanaz is having trouble sleeping in his new Los Angeles home because he worries it's haunted by ghosts.

The "Bones" star and his actress wife Jaime Bergman bought the house earlier this summer, but the couple is struggling to settle in because their bed mysteriously shifts in the middle of the night.

He explains, "We're not too sure. We woke up in the middle of the night and we heard this big bang. It felt like the bed literally fell off underneath us. My first instinct is, we're having an earthquake... turns out, it wasn't an earthquake. Cut to two weeks later, same thing happen...

It's that time of year again, when we all set our DVRs and get ready for a night in with our favorite returning TV shows! Here's just a few to look forward to when September finally rolls around.

The Vampire Diaries, CW

Thursday, September 9, 8/7c

When "The Vampires Diaries" aired last fall it managed to become much more than just the supernatural "Gossip Girl'' that many had expected. It was a well-written, well-acted series that was intriguing enough to make you want to tune in every week. Its first season was a sexy, violent ride that once a week made the new vampire craze a little...

Warehouse 13: In the fist season, the show about two Secret Service agents hunting down artifacts capable of everything from passing through solid objects to seeing the future, really overdid the "will they/ won’t they" relationship between business-like Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) and free-spirited Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock). And yeah, some of you out there are saying "Hey, they stole that from Castle, and Castle stole it from Bones," ignoring that X-Files did the exact same type of relationship and did it much better over a decade before any of them. But, I digress.

My point is that...
