To prove that lightning seldom strikes in the same place twice, we take a look at ten romantic and bromantic movie pairings that failed to work a second time...
We all know and recognise the thought process behind many studios’ decisions to re-cast actors opposite one another after a successful first film together. Whenever a lot is made of two actors’ supposed chemistry alongside one another, the standards are set unusually high for a repeat performance.
One of things that makes that elusive on-screen chemistry so hard to define is that it has often proven so difficult to replicate. Here are ten pairings that have fallen into the ever-expanding trap of diminishing returns. Oh, and if you care to celebrate it with much gusto, happy Valentine’s Day to you all. I shall be celebrating it with a bucket of KFC – not that I’m bitter or anything...

In honor of Top Chef's 100th episode, head judge Tom Colicchio threw himself into the Quickfire Challenge this week and went head to head with our favorite All-Stars.
With that in mind, let's get to a detailed review of the episode...
Quickfire Challenge
The theme of the episode - aside from dim sum (yummy!) - was speed. In a dizzying display of knife skills and nimble footwork, Tom plates his dish in about eight minutes. It's actually impressive and cool to see cook for the first time, showing off his prodigious skills.
Moreover, the way that our chefs applaud and watch like fanboys is pretty entertaining. I would actually say watching Tom cook like Speedy Gonzalez with dramatic music in the background was one of the best moments in Top Chef history. Okay, I'm definitely crushing on Tom Colicchio...
As Tom sets the bar (at 8:37 minutes) with his black sea bass dish,...

There's still a month left to go on "American Idol," but front-runner Crystal Bowersox is already reaping the benefits of a winner.
As of last week, Bowersox could be heard twice a day on the radio on Toledo, Ohio's 101.5-fm, which is located near her hometown of Elliston, Ohio, crooning the original acoustic folk ballad "Holy Toledo."
Crystal Bowersox's 'American Idol' Experience
"We have Crystal pride around here," said Tom Cook, the station's program director. "It's not just a radio thing, it's a cool thing for the people around here to see someone with that kind of talent on a national platform." While assembling videos of Crystal's "Idol" performances, someone at the rock station noticed the homage to the singer's hometown and brought it to Cook's attention.
