"Food Network Star" is getting a whole new look. Now in its eighth season (premieres Sun., May 13, 9 p.m. Et on Food Network), they're mixing things up, splitting the 15 cheftestants into three teams, which will be led by the network's top personalities: Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis and Alton Brown.
I caught up with Bobby Flay to find out how he feels about switching from judge (he's sat with network heads Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson for the past seven seasons) to coach, and to find out what his strategy is and how it differs from Giada's and Alton's plans of attack. No shock here: They're looking for very different things.
He also opened up about his favorite challenge of the season (which sounds a bit like "Top Chef's" Restaurant Wars -- in a good way), his ultimate test for any chef and why he won't be moving out...

As the wait between Mad Men seasons seems to get longer and longer, John Slattery does Lincon commercials, January Jones turns to diamonds, Jon Hamms things up opposite Kristin Wiig in Bridesmaids, and we desperately await our next fix of Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce.
Thanks to Nikita, that wait just got shorter. Rich Sommer, best known as the underappreciated Harry Crane of Mad Men will guest-star on the increasingly popular spy-series' final two episodes of the season!
Sommer likely found the time to guest star on The CW series thanks to the on-going re-negotiations of Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner's contract, which have thus far held up production and prevented the advertising Emmy-winner from making its usual summer airdate.
