Facebook went public Friday in the largest tech IPO in U.S. history, and founder Mark Zuckerberg married long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan in an off-the-radar backyard ceremony on Saturday.

SEASON FINALE: Lady Gaga comes to Springfield tonight, with a wardrobe even more animated than her usual onstage attire. Shoes that tower over even her own skyscraper heels. Designs that defy conformity and logic even more so than usual. Dresses made of, among other things, bird feathers – all of which are still attached to birds. Live birds…

This is the eighth movie in Tom Selleck’s series of Jesse Stone mystery movies, based on the books by Spenser: for Hire creator Robert B. Parker – and just the fact that these movies still exist, at a time when telemovies on the broadcast networks appear about as often as Westerns, is enough reason to applaud and support their presence.

This series ended last week’s episode with Betty Draper (January Jones) taking, and chewing contentedly on, a bite of food at the family dinner table. How is that a climactic moment? Well, it was – if you watched the hour before, and other shows featuring Betty this season. Just when it seems as though this show, like Betty, has bitten off more than it can chew, comes another delicious, and easily digestible, twist. What a season. What a series.
