Former talk show host Rosie O?Donnell made her first trip to the Sundance Film Festival to debut the documentary All Aboard! Rosie?s Family Cruise. The film, which was commissioned by HBO (a division of Time's parent company, Time Warner) and will air on the cable channel April 6, profiles gay families aboard a 2004 cruise from New York City to the Caribbean that was organized by O?Donnell and her partner Kelli O'Donnell.

The indispensable star of a crime show, Epitafios understands, is the criminal...
...milieu is phony and dated: Tom, a supposedly individualistic tastemaker, is about as edgy as a pair of pleated khakis. (He loves Bob Dylan and hates Hanson! Risky!) CBS may want to avoid alienating us unhip married guys with aging CD collections, but it sacrifices the authenticity that allows HBO'S Entourage to overcome its Y-chromosome clich?...
