Blake Lively talks about 'The Green Lantern' on 'Today'From AolTV: If Blake Lively's interview on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC) is any indication, don't expect her to be a pushover in the new 'Green Lantern' film. She plays Carol Ferris opposite Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan / Green Lantern, and Lively says Ferris is no ordinary superhero girlfriend who depends on her boyfriend to save the day.

"In the comic, she turns into a villain at one point, so that would be the best," said Lively. "It was great because normally these women are the damsels in distress, but she's a strong woman and she's always challenging him and they're always going head-to-head."

She even had the Green Lantern's Oath down and corrected Matt Lauer, who traded lines with her when he challenged her to recite it, ending in a big geek high-five.

From TV Squad: 'Battle: Los Angeles' looks like a film packed with action from beginning to end. Star Aaron Eckhart shared some of the action of shooting it with George Lopez on 'Lopez Tonight' (weeknights, 12AM on TBS). Sometimes the action of filmmaking can get a bit too real as when Eckhart broke his arm and kept filming.

"There was this beautiful fireball that was going up," Eckhart explained. "And I wanted to do a [Michael] Jordan through the fireball." He explained to the cameraman what he was hoping to make happen and everyone got ready.

"I went, slipped, fell seven feet onto my head, and my arm just goes crack," said Eckhart -- but he didn't stop the scene. Instead, he picked up the heavy object that was part of the scene and gritted through it.

'The Simpsons' Goes to the Oscars

['The Simpsons' - 'Angry Dad: The Movie']

From TV Squad: With the Academy Awards being broadcast next week, 'The Simpsons' naturally had to return to the topical satire that it's so famous for.

And this episode contained a myriad of parodies and referential humor, only some of which I recognized. Some of the scenes in the Japanese Itchy and Scratchy movie were taken from 'Kill Bill,' but Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece likely stole the scenes (also known as an homage) from other Japanese movies.

In fact, the whole episode was a nice callback to the earlier episode 'I Am Furious Yellow' from the 13th season, which introduced 'Angry Dad' as a web series. This show has been around for so long, it can't help but have continuity.

Liam Neeson Talks 'Hangover 2' on 'Tonight'From TV Squad: Last October, it was announced that Liam Neeson would replace Mel Gibson in 'The Hangover 2.' How'd he get the gig? The award-winning actor exchanged a few texts with 'Hangover' star (and his 'A-Team' counterpart) Bradley Cooper.

Cooper sent him a simple "Do you wanta be in Hangover 2?" text message while Neeson was drinking a glass of wine. "I was like, [he motions taking a sip and then texting] 'Yeah,'" he said on 'The Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). Cooper texted back, "Tomorrow?" Neeson took another sip and replied simply, "Yeah." Ah, modern technology. Neeson also confirmed that he will be "covered in tattoos" in the film.

Michael Douglas, 'The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards'From TV Replay: Michael Douglas, who is currently cancer free after a recent struggle with advanced stage IV throat cancer, received a very touching standing ovation when he appeared at 'The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards' (Sun., 8PM on NBC). He was on hand to present the last award of the night.

When Douglas was announced, he strode confidently on stage. He still looked notably thinner than usual, but was otherwise happy and clearly humbled by the response. For nearly a full minute, the crowd of who's who in Hollywood were on their feet in praise of his strength, resilience and importance to their chosen medium.

Repeating "Thank you" over and again, Douglas tried to calm the crowd. We began to wonder if the orchestra might play him off just to keep the show in under time, even though he wasn't an award winner.
