The premiere of Corey Feldman’s purported exposé of sexual predators in Hollywood, “(My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys,” was beset with problems on Monday, with the live screening delayed twice and the planned simultaneous online stream canceled outright after the site crashed, which Feldman blamed on “hackers.”
Scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m., the screening was delayed at almost the exact moment it was supposed to begin when the site crashed.

Inside the Directors Guild Theater where the live screening was hosted, the audience was told that Feldman and his team needed until 8:15 p.m. to resolve the website issues. The film duly began for the theater audience at that time but stopped after just 10 minutes,...

After months of hype and headlines, Simon Cowell’s "X Factor" is finally debuting in America next week. The question is: Will anyone care?
In the past year, our DVRs have been filled to the max with reality singing competitions, from the revamped (J. Lo on a kinder, gentler "American Idol") to the remixed ("The Voice" has swivel chairs, you guys) to the reviled (ugh, "Karaoke Battle USA"). These days, the casual TV viewer needs a doctorate in “Reality TV” to keep track of all the various karaoke contests.
So, as a public service to fellow confused and overwhelmed TV addicts, I’ve broken down all the shows that are sure to feature overwrought renditions of Alicia Keys' songs and judges sipping from sponsored soda cups. (Example: "Idol" is Coke, "X Factor" is Pepsi. "The Sing Off" is…Coke 2?)
Practice your scales, warm up your pipes and dig in!
