Yeah yeah, nobody is surprised that American Idol topped the night last night in ratings!

The surprise comes from Mobbed, who's rating saw a spike — and ended up giving Fox the night's win.

Fox averaged a 4.5 among adults 18-49 which is about 14 million people. Idol grabbed a 6.0 in the demo, and the total viewers were up by 2 percent. Mobbed got a 3.0!

ABC was second with 8.4 million viewers, and leading the pack there was the brilliant Modern Family with a 5.5.

Then came CBS, which saw a dip in ratings — even with the ever popular CSI.

And then the CW… who somehow survives with shows getting 0.7 and 0.4 — not sure how that's working out, but they're trying.

Either way, Idol's Hollywood Week seems to be when people REALLY start watching!

What did U watch last night??

It's on!

According to industry sources, both Van Halen's A Different Kind of Truth and Adele's 21 will be fighting for the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 next week!

We're hearing that the new Van Halen album is set to sell 180,000 to 200,000 copies, which SHOULD land it that top spot on the chart…but because of Adele's Grammy buzz, she could end up selling enough units to stay ahead of Eddie and co.

Also, Adele

The Giants weren't the only winners this weekend! It was also a great few days for some thrills and chills at the box-office.

The bigger winner at the movies over the Super Bowl weekend was Chronicle, the flick about a bunch of superpower endowed teens from 20th Century Fox. The flick scored a stellar $22 million, far more than was originally anticipated.

Not that far behind was Daniel Radcliffe horror-thriller The Woman in Black with $21 million, which also overperformed by A LOT (but still not reaching the numbers DanRad saw in his Potter days.)

Regardless, as both flicks wrangled in the crowds, total box office revenues were up more than 35 percent over last year. We imagine that both FOX and CBS Films are quite pleased with themselves over this.

Totally worth shelling out for a mega star in one respect and totally worth scaring the crap out of New York in the other.

No surprises here! As we said back in October - the show is a hit!

NBC was the big winner in the ratings last night thanks to their Pro Bowl NFL game, but as for as non-sports ratings are concerned, it was all about ABC!

Once Upon a Time brought in the best ratings of the night for the network, landing 10.8 million viewers and an impressive 3.4 in the adults 18-49 demo! Wowsa!

CBS also brought in the viewers last night, with Undercover Boss which landed 13.1 million viewers and a 3.0 rating. The Good Wife had a GOOD audience with 10.9 mil viewers and a 2.2 rating. CSI: Miami also fared well, with 10.5 mil viewers and a 2.2 rating.

Fox's numbers weren't quite up to par with ABC and CBS. The Simpsons brought in 5.1 million viewers and a 2.4 rating. The new animated Napoleon Dynamite series landed 4.4 mil viewers and a 2.1 rating. Family Guy was the winner for Fox though, with 5.9 mil viewers and a 3.0 rating.

Very popular nerds, but nerds nonetheless!

American Idol has been beaten in the ratings by Big Bang Theory for the SECOND week in a row!

Could it be that America is finally tired of watching people sing in front of three judges for a shot at fame and fortune?!

Nah, the popular singing competition still took in a total of 17 million viewers during its hour on Thursday night, but only had 15.46 million viewers while the CBS sitcom aired in competition to receive 15.96 million total viewers.

BBT scored a a 5.4 rating to beat the 4.8 rating of Idol‘s first half hour and managed to win the 18-34 demographic.

Who said being a nerd wasn't cool?

We knew Tuesday night ratings would be weird due to Obama's State of the Union Address…but wow!

Last night, Fox was #1 in the ratings AGAIN thanks to an American Idol repeat, which landed 9.5 million total viewers and a 3.3 rating in the adults 18-49 demo. Impressive!

As for the State of the Union Address, it brought in 5.3 million viewers and a 1.9 for Fox.

CBS couldn't

Fox is in the HOUSE! Get it???

Last night, Fox was the big winner in the ratings, thanks to the return of House, which was the #1 telecast in primetime! It brought in 8.7 million total viewers, and a 3.1 rating in adults 18-49! Nice!

Fox's Monday night win was ALSO helped by Alcatraz, which landed 9 million viewers and a 3.0 rating for its second week on the air.

ABC didn't do too bad last night either, thanks to The Bachelor's improved numbers! The reality show brought in 8.3 million viewers and a 2.7 rating, which is an impressive 13% jump from last week. Castle also had impressive viewership with 10.1 million folks tuning in.

NBC did OK with an airing of Who's Still Standing?, which brought in 6.4 million viewers and a 1.7 rating. The two-hour Republican debate had 7.1 million viewers and a 1.7 rating as well.

As for the CW, Hart of Dixie was down slightly with 1.6 million viewers and a 0.7 rating. Gossip Girl brought in the same numbers, which was a 23% improvement for the show in viewers and a 17% improvement in adults 18-49! Not bad!

CBS aired repeats all night long, which resulted in less-than-stellar ratings for the network.

What did U watch last night? Did U tune in for the return of House???
