Top 10 Current TV Character Crushes
It's Valentine's Day, and that means love is in the air (for some of us, anyway). It's also a perfect time to pay tribute to the fictional men who've made my heart melt this TV season, for one reason or another, or oftentimes several. These are ten guys who, if they were real, would have no problem getting my phone number.

'White Collar' 2.13 'Countermeasures' Recap And Review
It's a busy day for Neal Caffrey. First, he meets with Mozzie to check on the progress of their fractal antenna. Mozzie says using the phrase "good work" implies he has a job. I start laughing, and I'm still snickering by the time Neal returns back home, looking for June, and walks into Ford (Billy Dee Williams), an "old friend" of hers who's just moved back to Manhattan. He is naturally suspicious (oh, Matt Bomer, how I love you and your facial expressions) and starts asking questions, having no idea that when he uses the phrase "partners in crime," he's totally right. Worried, he ...
READ MORE'White Collar' Makes Hilarie Burton A Regular
White Collar promoted someone to series regular - but unfortunately, it wasn't Sharif Atkins.
According to an early report from TVLine, the show has elected to make Hilarie Burton a regular in the upcoming third season (for which it was renewed in September). No details about the decision, or how they plan on utilizing her character, insurance investigator Sara Ellis, are yet available.
I've never been a fan of the character, whom I've felt is redundant due to the existence of Alex Hunter (Gloria Votsis), another foil for Matt Bomer's Neal Caffrey with whom he routinely spars. Nor ...

Interview: 'White Collar's' Tiffani Thiessen is no Trophy Wife
There's that old saying that behind every man is a good woman. Well, behind dedicated FBI agent Peter Burke is his loyal, smart and successful wife, Elizabeth. The woman behind Mrs. Burke, actress Tiffani Thiessen, sat down with me before tonight's new episode of White Collar to talk about the perks and positives of playing one of the show's versatile and vibrant supporting characters.
I have to say, I've looked forward to talking to you because I've enjoyed your character so much. She is so well-developed and so not what one would expect in her role.
In the twentysome-odd years I’ve...

'White Collar' 2.12 'What Happens In Burma' Recap And Review
I've had my eye on this episode of White Collar for a little while; not for any particular reason, but because I thought I'd be the first indicator of how good season 2.5 really will be. The writers had plenty of time to cook up a good midseason premiere, and could use the framework of the show so far to set up the flashback episode, but there are no such advantages this week. White Collar doesn't miss a step, however, just as lively as ever.

Interview: Andrew McCarthy Is The Mastermind Behind 'White Collar'
You now know him as Vincent Adler, Neal Caffrey's mentor turned worst enemy, on USA's hit series White Collar. For many people, myself included, Andrew McCarthy helped shape our generation as the star of such films as Pretty In Pink, Mannequin, St. Elmo's Fire, Weekend at Bernie's, and my personal favorite, Year of the Gun. In recent years, McCarthy's moved behind the camera to direct several series, including a future episode Gossip Girl. The versatile veteran sat down with us Monday to talk about his new stint on White Collar, as well as his long career and a few things about him that you...

A lot of answers get revealed in this week's White Collar - and in the tradition of the best mysteries, giving those secrets away only makes us more interested in asking further questions.
After getting his name from Julian Larsson last week, Peter is doing some research on Vincent Adler, and it's not pretty; there are plenty of newspaper clippings on how Adler disappeared seven years ago following an elaborate Ponzi scheme. He's surprised when, among all the copy, he finds a picture of Adler with Neal in the background - surprised enough that he decides to pay Neal a late-night vis...

Interview: 'White Collar's' Willie Garson Doesn't Mind Being Shot
White Collar has returned to finish out its sophomore season, and it's as good as ever. Before fans are treated to tonight's flashback episode, the man behind Mozzie, veteran actor Willie Garson (pictured here with Matt Bomer), sat down with us to spill about the backstory and the experience of playing Neal Caffrey's sidekick.
What's it like being shot?
I can tell you this, the synthetic blood was very, very cold. So, it was annoying, actually, to be shirtless and covered in cold goo for many, many hours.

'White Collar' 2.11 'Forging Bonds' Advance Review
The long-awaited, much-talked-about flashback episode of White Collar finally hits our screens tomorrow night, and it's one to remember if only because it answers most, if not all, the questions about how the characters as we know them came to be. How did Neal meet Mozzie? How did he fall for Kate? How did Peter end up on Neal's case? How did he finally catch him the first time? Most importantly, who the heck is Vincent Adler? All those questions will be answered in forty-odd minutes tomorrow night at 10 PM on USA.

'White Collar' 2.10 'Burke's Seven' Recap and Review
White Collar is back to finish out its second season, and it picks up almost right where it left off. After being shot at close range in the midseason finale, Mozzie is rushed to the hospital, with Neal by his bedside once he's out of surgery (following the fastest montage ever). The TV cynic in me knew long ago that he wasn't about to be killed off, but it's still nice to get that addressed immediately, so the audience gets an answer and the story can move forward. After all, imagine what's going on in Neal's head. He's spent the first half of the season upset over Kate's murder, a...
READ MORE'White Collar' 2.10 'Burke's Seven' Advance Review
White Collar left us with a bang - literally, as Mozzie was shot by a man named Julian Larsson (The Dresden Files' Paul Blackthorne). As we resume the show's second season, the normally cool Neal Caffrey is still running hot, knowing the two most important people in his life were targeted by the same conspiracy. Having finally caught Garrett Fowler (Noah Emmerich), he sets his sights on Larsson - and what could be just another "let's move on to the next page of our mythology" episode is an impressive midseason premiere.

Interview: Tim DeKay, Matt Bomer Return For More 'White Collar'
Together, veteran actors Tim DeKay and Matt Bomer make up the best partnership on television today, and possibly one of the best ever. (Okay, and they're good-looking too.) As FBI agent Peter Burke and "consultant" Neal Caffrey, DeKay and Bomer are the core of USA's hit series White Collar. With the show getting ready to return for the back half of season two, its two stars sat down with me on Thursday to talk about what's coming next and what they've learned during the ride so far.

Returning Mid-Season Shows: What's Worth Watching?
We’ve already been over what new shows are premiering mid-season. There are lots of returning favorites as well, and some promise to be some of this year’s highest-rated programs. Others are sure to be stinkers. Here’s our guide to what’s returning, and what’s worth watching.

Matt Bomer Backs Religious Tolerance Crusade
Actor Matt Bomer is calling for Americans to be more tolerant towards religious practices as part of a new public service announcement (PSA).
The White Collar star is supporting Characters Unite, an organization which aims to fight prejudice against personal beliefs.
He says, "It's been a sensitive issue since, oh, the beginning of time, but lately it seems that religious intolerance has been growing. While we can disagree about the past and we can argue about the future, we're all here now, together."
"Together we all have the same basic right to hold and practice our own beliefs. Go...

Since CNN has such a blast creating a report card to track the Presidency, we decided to have some fun with television. Which networks come out strong and which ones need to do better homework?
