Conan: Conan O'Brien In Kentucky, a teenager was arrested for falsely yelling "Bingo" in a Bingo hall. It's being called the first-ever arrest that actually diminished someone's street cred. The Tonight Show: Jay Leno Ashley Judd announced she will not be running for Senate in Kentucky against Mitch McConnell. And Mitch McConnell announced he will not be co-starring in any romantic comedies. Legendary singer Dionne Warwick filed for bankruptcy, claiming she has only $25,000 in assets but owes more than $10 million in unpaid taxes. She owes 400 times what she has. She could end up serving three years -- as the White House budget director. T-Mobil announced yesterday that they are doing away with contracts. Apparently, they got the idea from NBC. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is under investigation for alleged misuse of campaign funds. She's blaming the accusations on her arch nemesis: the facts. tention to the talented actress. A deadly drama: A murder- ous mystery is headed to PBS, and this one's for the ladies. "The Bletchley Circle," the critically acclaimed miniseries that aired in the U.K. last year, finds its way to American shores when the three-part series begins Sunday, April 21, on PBS. Set in post-war Britain in 1952, the taut whodunnit follows four seemingly average women who honed their skills as code breakers during the Second World War. They must tap into those skills once again if they're to have any hope of catching a serial killer. "We think American audiences are going to love the story and the characters," said PBS executive Beth Hoppe. "The journey home for these women, from war intelligence to 1950s domesticity, is highly complicated, further emphasizing the importance of their bond and friendship." These characters are brought to vivid life by a collection of accomplished and award-winning actresses who are mainstays in British film and television. Headlining the cast is twotime BAFTA award winner Anna Maxwell Martin as Susan, a loving mother who's become convinced that a group of seemingly unconnected murders are the work of a serial killer. Maxwell Martin's two best actress awards -- one for the 2008 TV movie "Poppy Shakespeare" and the other for the 2005 miniseries 'Lost' no more: One of the biggest stars to emerge from the phenomenon that was ABC's "Lost" is headed back to the network -- and to the U.S. Naveen Andrews, who captured viewers' hearts with his powerful portrayal of castaway Sayid Jarrah in "Lost," has been signed to star in the pilot for the network's new drama "Reckless." Even for folks who weren't tuning in to the tropical mind-twister, he may still be a familiar face, thanks to his other work in Hollywood. The actor's notable film credits include "The English Patient" (1996), "Mighty Joe Young" (1998) and "Rollerball" (2002). "Reckless" marks his return to American television after spending the past year in the U.K. series "Sinbad." In "Reckless," Andrews will play Roland, a former British Secret Air Service member turned illegal mercenary who's hired to help rescue a man's kidnapped wife. That man -- David Ritter -- is played by Patrick Fugit, a talented young actor who first burst onto the Hollywood scene with 2000's "Almost Famous." When the government refuses to help rescue his spouse, Ritter is forced to turn to less-than-legal options to ensure her safety. If the level of talent that ABC's leveraging behind the camera is any indication, the network has high hopes for "Reckless." The pilot's script is being written by Chris Black ("Mad Men," "Red Widow"), who's playing double duty and also executive producing. Lucienne Papon (2010's "Edge of Darkness") and acclaimed director/producer Martin Campbell (2006's James Bond hit "Casino Royale") join him as executive producers.
