Some fresh scripted shows, along with the college basketball tournament on Saturday, have put CBS back on top of the ratings. Although Fox's ``American Idol'' and ABC's ``Dancing With the Stars'' dominated last week, more than 20 million people tuned into CBS for the return of ``CSI.''

Adam Carolla will have a lot more time to practice riding his unicycle. He was voted off ``Dancing with the Stars'' last night. He got the judges laughing by incorporating a unicycle into his dance routine. But they also gave him the lowest marks on this week's performance show. Carolla says he lost 25 pounds of fat while on the show.

Carly Smithson could be in trouble on ``American Idol.'' While the judges usually like this singer from Dublin, she didn't impress them last night. Simon Cowell thinks she sounded angry, but he did like the way she looked. Jason Castro was praised for his version of ``Somewhere Over the Rainbow'' and his ukulele playing that went along with it. David Archuleta was ``crazy hot'' according to Randy Jackson. Tonight is the ``Idol Gives Back'' charity special, with the results show tomorrow night.

The top movie in theatres right now is “21.” Jeff Ma is the real guy who beat the system and won at blackjack in Las Vegas. He's played by Jim Sturgess in the movie ``21.'' Asked which was more lucrative, selling his story to Hollywood or winning in Vegas, it's not even close. Ma says they won up to five- (m) million dollars in Vegas. Selling his movie rights didn't come close.

Tom Cruise's upcoming movie about a real assassination plot against Hitler won't be released this year. ``Valkyrie'' was expected going to be in theatres October 3rd. Instead, it'll open next February. Moving it to early in the year basically takes the movie out of the running for most awards. Most films that are hyped for Oscars and other honours are released towards the end of the year.

Thanks to Bob Dylan, rock 'n' roll has finally broken through the Pulitzer wall. Dylan, the most acclaimed and influential songwriter of the past half century, who more than anyone brought rock from the streets to the lecture hall, received an honorary Pulitzer Prize on Monday. It was the first time Pulitzer judges, who have long favored classical music, and, more recently, jazz, bestowed the award on the world of rock.

The Police would prefer to do some good for the world rather than let premium concert seats go to scalpers.

Guitar, bass and drums were all played backward as part of the effects. The part at the beginning may have been ahead of its time, as it sounded a lot like the record scratching Hip-Hop DJs began using years later.

Hendrix played the piano on this.

It is ... Are You Experienced ... Jimi Hendrix !
