Showtime's killer hit drama "Dexter" returns for its eighth and final season on June 30, and it looks like Debra, the titular serial killer's sister, is heading for hard times.

In a new trailer released for the series, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), who last season got further drawn into Dexter's world with the killing of Maria LaGuerta, engages in all sorts of self-destructive behavior. Sniffing coke? Yep. Hooking up with a skeevy dude? Uh-huh. Getting arrested for DUI? Oh, goodness, yes...

Ever wonder what your parents do when they go to Las Vegas? The first trailer for director Jon Turteltaub's "Last Vegas" suggests they drink a lot of Red Bull and vodkas, hang with LMFAO, pour booze down beautiful women's throats and "party like it's 1959."

J.J. Abrams, who's directing the next installment of the "Star Wars" film series, dropped in on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Wednesday night. And, while he was on hand to direct his most recent movie, "Star Trek Into Darkness," the resurrection of George Lucas' space saga was also a topic of conversation. And there was no shortage of voices happy to weigh in with advice for Abrams.

Funny or Die and Diddy Reveal He Was First Black 'Downton Abbey' Cast Member (Video)

May, 16, 2013 9:34 am | Comments On #Television

Gary Carr only thinks he's the first black character on the PBS period drama "Downton Abbey."

With the help of Funny or Die, Diddy sets the record straight -- even if he can't say "Downton" correctly. Apparently, the former Sean Combs (and former lots of other stage names) has been in the cast since Day 1 -- we've just been overlooking him.

Funny or Die inserted Diddy in pivotal scenes over the first three seasons. And the music mogul did not miss an opportunity to plug Ciroc vodka. Oh ... and he also tried to get Lady Grantham and Mrs. Crawley to make out a little bit. Gross.
