LOST: Aaron & Kate

Well, isn't this just something to whet your whistle?

Holy paternity tests, Batman!



The promo speaks for itself.

Human Wrecking Balls on G4

Grab a TV Guide, find when it's on, tivo/watch it and let us know what you think. Personally, we think it's fascinating that two guys can demolish basically anything by simply using their bodies, but maybe it's not your cup of tea.

Plus, when they destroy a hotel room, they pay for it.

Is anyone watching Rock of Love: Charm School?

Thank goodness Megan is gone. The girl's a great "player", but she's not learning anything and had to go. Three strikes and you're out.

Plus, with all that tanning, she's not going to have her looks to rely on for much longer, now is she?

"now i can get back to tanning, sushi, and tanning".

we are happy to announce!

That the CW has officially ordered more episodes of the little gem, Priveleged!

Seriously, folks, if you haven't caught onto this show yet, catch up on youtube, cw.com, or even itunes. It's like a mini Gilmore Girls, minus Amy-Sherman Palladino.

Hasselback can't shut her mouth

She's becoming too defensive. Seriously.

King of the Hill might go to ABC

As a companion to the new Mike Judge cartoon "The Goode Family", ABC might make it two for two by picking up another rival's soon-to-end series. Apparently, execs are interested in grabbing King of the Hill, as it's about to complete its run on Fox next year.

Isn't this show a little too long in the tooth for that?

Scratch that: Grey's reworking storylines

Well, Dr. Hahn is fired. Brooke Smith is off the show in a surprising move.

Now, we hear word that Melissa George, originally bisexual....is now straight.

She flirts with Callie and then nothing happens.

How strange is that?

And why the sudden change of heart?

Granted, Dr. Hahn getting womanly advice from Dr. McSteamy was a bit gross. However, this is a bit odd. And sudden. Don't you think?

Pushing Daisies might be cancelled

A bit of sad news.

Pushing Daisies might be cancelled. Apparently, showrunners were told to make the 13th episode act as a series finale, just in case.

That's horrible news. Horrible.

Want to save it?

CW adds more episodes of 3 series

Good news everyone!

CW has added another episode of GG, to make that 25 this season. 90210 and One Tree Hill will also now be 24 episodes.

Now, we just need Priveleged to get some MUCH needed love (the show's a gem, guys. especially this week's episode). Cross your fingers and toes!

Showtime believes in Dexter

Woo! Slice n Dice!

Dexter has been renewed for not just Season 4, but up to Season 5.

Showtime has that much faith in the show, they decided to give it the ultimate stamp of approval.

The question is, will Jimmy Smits be around to see Season 5 as well? Hell, even Season 4.

NeNe is our hero

Can we talk about RHOA real fast?

I didn't think this franchise could get any better, but then Kim with her two layers of wigs and NeNe with her bracelets showed up. Holy canoli, Southern style.

One wife doesn't talk to any of her "help", Kim boozes it up during her daughter's birthday party, NeNe throws a hissy fit and profanity when her name's not on what's her face's list, divorces and pro athletes are everywhere, and somehow only ONE shot of Chickfila has been shown.

WTF?!

There will be red carpet arrivals, soap opera family feud, a silent auction, some chick from ONE LIFE TO LIFE giving a musical performance and just a good ole night of fun. Hope to see you there!

JERRI!

Guess who's coming back to tV.....

yES, THAT'S RIGHT! Amy Sedaris! She has signed a development deal (and starring deal) with 20th Century Studios. The idea came to her about six years ago, even when she didn't plan on returning to TV, but her team (including many SWC alums) hope to sell it to cable.

Cut to us hyperventilating

I guess she didn't die

Adrianna on 90210 is being upped to a series regular. That eerie ending scene from last week's show must result in her living. can't keep a good bitch down.

I have to admit, 90210 is growing on me. Jennie and Shannon weren't even on the episode, and I really enjoyed last week's. Plus, former Gilmore Girls producers are jumping on the series, which is a good sign.

Bird is the word

nbc picks up The Patridge Family

and has officially made themselves the Remake Channel.

With the exception of the Office and Chuck, it's almost like originality doesn't exist over at the Peacock.

David Letterman rips Bush a new one

which brings hilarious results :)

apparently we love the 70s

a remake of the Partridge Family is being developed.

I just gagged and threw up a little of my tuna melt.

maybe it was just the tuna, but i doubt it.

so excited for ugly betty

is anyone else? we hear the premieres for both UB and Grey's are great.

is anyone even watching the Hills anymore? I don't even care about that or Project Runway anymore.

All Access Pass to the Emmys

When you get an All-Access pass to the Emmys, your heart skips a beat. You not only have a credential, but you receive a hologram sticker on the front of it to signify a few things: a) you don't have to go thru security b) you can roam ANYWHERE (see above photo), c) no one will take a 2nd glance at you if you're taking random photos of Jon Hamm as he types on his blackberry (again, see photo).

My weekend was the Emmys. From the rehearsals, to the press tent, to the red carpet, to sipping champagne downstairs in a secret area of the Nokia Theatre, to the production truck during the show, to wandering the theatre as guests piled in, to cap the night off with The Governor's Ball, it was a whirlwind. A whirlwind that I will never forget.

Let's get this out of the way, first, however. I know many people did not like the show. I'm a bit biased since I worked on it, however, I get it. The hosts didn't work. You can't really predict how previously assumed good ideas will pan out live on a 3 hour (or so) awards show. A few of their careers might be over (you know you hate yourself when you have to apologize for the night, Jeff Probst), but Heidi was adorable and sincere and just plain cool, as was Tom Bergeron. Having been to a few awards rehearsals by now, you can always tell who the good people are. aka the people who act as if the stand-ins are people too, and they play along. When they were rehearsing the reality show hosts award with Jimmy Kimmel, someone had to stand-in for Ryan because of the Red Carpet. Heidi played along, kissed the guy's cheek, and just seemed very genuine. If you want more info than that about the show itself, you're going to have to wring it out of me because there are a lot of politics I can't even touch upon at this time. I will say this, though. My opinion of Ryan has quickly changed from when I met him at New Year's Rockin Eve.

The red carpet. At first, I was nervous. I had walked on one before, but never DURING a red carpet show; usually before all the craziness occurs. This time around, though, I had my good friend Lauren and the Lippin Group to show me around. And by show me around, I mean yell over people while trying to dodge Mariska Hargitay's husband, while hearing that Mary Tyler Moore had JUST FALLEN ON THE RED CARPET (try to imagine that right now. seriously, close your eyes and imagine that legend, MTM, falling on the red carpet in front of all of her peers with a million cameras around, yet somehow no one got a photo. that's stupefying).

Speaking of MTM, Betty White and her were SO CUTE. When going over their presentation, they would continue to play off each other back and forth like old pros. Although we never know who wins until everyone else does, production always practices the winner to get the correct camera angles and such, so during rehearsals when Entourage "won", Betty quipped "drat, I was hoping for Two and a Half Men".

Some other sidenotes, I got to witness Alec Baldwin put the smackdown on a reporter when asked if he thought his personal life would get in the way of his career by stating something along the lines of "well, I think this Emmy signifies that that's a no, but if you'd like to speak about my personal life, I'd love to chat with you afterwards and put it to rest". Holland Taylor is so sweet (thanks Michael ;)), Bryan Cranston was as shocked as everyone else that he won. Christian's presenter dress was that HIDEOUS flowing granny dress that looked like 4 dresses were piled on top of each other, Joey from Friends style, circa the episode he puts on all of Chandler's clothes. David Boreanaz couldn't have been less interested to present with Lauren Conrad. Did anyone else notice Glenn Close basically ordering America to hold her Emmy?!?! Amy Poehler is as cool, if not cooler than you'd think she is. Stephen Colbert is a sweetheart. It was a huge deal that Candice Bergen came in to rehearse her presentation since she never does, but someone mentioned that Heidi pushed her to do it. Sometimes it helps to practice, Hayden. Since the gifting suite is downstairs, you could tell who was coming only to rehearse and who was coming to do both that and whore out the suite. For example, Jennifer Love Hewitt was all dolled up during rehearsals, as was Lauren Conrad, who walked out with two HUGE bags of swag. Hello, IRS.

One final note, the night wouldn't have been complete without meeting Erin and I's blog idol, former TV GUIDE writer, and now EW
contributor Michael Ausiello. The butterflies began there and stayed with me for the rest of the night.

The Gang's back!

If you could please post that would be awesome! THANKS

Did you feel like something was missing all summer? Not like whoops I forgot to put on more sunscreen, more like I am missing some politically incorrect, self absorbed dirty humor on my TV screen. Well get ready cause tonight at 10pm on FX It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is back for more sex, drugs and offensive humor. Last year Mac dated a tranny, Dee and Charlie got addicted to cocaine, and Dennis was mistaken as a Sex offender. Tonight Dee and Charlie become cannibals and then the gang solves the gas crisis. Need more reasons to go back to Philly then check out the clip.

So, Dylan's the Dad.

Either you're pissed I just typed that or over the show itself.

Which is it? B/c I found out thru a coworker after I Tivoed it and still hadn't watched either.

The producers better beg Luke Perry to come back to the show, since now they've put themselves in a hole. Unless Brandon returns screaming "that's my child!" and a paternity test ensues.

GG: Kaitlin's joining the party

What's her face from the OC, who played Kaitlin during the last season (very well we might add), is going to join the GG ranks as a model at little J's newest designer venture.

Let the claws coming out begin!

GG: preview that made our jaw drop

Grey's Anatomy: Rose is WHAT?!

And who's being iced by that ice pick?!

Ugh, I thought Shonda said Rose was a goner!!!

GG: Karma's a bitch

and so is Blair Waldorf. *sigh*
GG was back Monday night. Although I didn't agree with it returning on a holiday, ratings were bigger than ever in several demographics, so there were some definite positives to throw around for the ratings-challenged CW.

The episode itself gets a solid B from me. While the Nate and older woman storyline annoyed me (however, have you seen the previews for Monday's episode?! my jaw is on the floor over that twist), Chuck & Blair can do no wrong. From Serena's fake excitement over B's new man ("OMG B, he sounds amazing!"), to Blair saying she didn't feel anything either once her pin is found, the episode belonged to that storyline.

Did anyone else feel as if you were watching an epic Romeo & Juliet whenever the pair was on screen? Even the scenery, especially the garden during dinner. Gorgeous.

The Hamptons were fun, but NYC will be better.

So the first episode centers around some girl, I forget her name, and she's sent to Africa. Not just Africa, but, hi, we're going to welcome you by skinning a goat, build houses out of cow dung, and drink blood.

All....on....television.

but will it be GOOD?!

90210 popsicles around LA

The CW has come up with a “90210” marketing idea that’s as chilly as the on-set stares between Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth.

To promote its already much-hyped ZIP Code revival, The CW will give away 100,000 ice cream novelties over the Labor Day weekend. The network has hired ice cream trucks to drive around waterfront locations in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago to distribute the tasty treats.

“The trucks will be decked out in ‘90210’ key art, and they’ll be playing the ‘90210’ theme song,” said Rick Haskins, chief of marketing for The CW. He didn’t have specifics on the exact varieties of the frozen confections, but did hint that there would be popsicles and something in the chocolate family.


What sucks is that we don't know the exact locations. I guess Santa Monica? Venice? They should do WEHO, duh!

Pushing Daisies 2nd season promo

Having visited the set last week, I cannot WAIT for the new Pushing Daisies season. 9 episodes last year were just not enough!

Denise gets canned

In somewhat surprising news, E! has cancelled a show. Denise Richards: It's Complicated.

Now, this is the same network that brought back Sunset Tan for a 2nd season. Ahem.

That splattered egg on your face must taste really good, Denise.

American Idol makes a huge mistake

This is idiotic.

Kara DioGuardi is joining the show as a 4th judge. She's a songwriter, has worked with a ton of artists, yada yada.

The Buffy Animated Series Pilot

Yes, you read that correctly. It's here. The failed Buffy animated series pilot is now on youtube. Feast your eyes on the corny humor and recast Buffy voice.

Beth is getting married

Oh, and she's preggers.

So, does this mean she's done with RW/RR Challenges? Please don't say yes. She makes amazing drama. She can't be done. NO!

Stand up to Cancer Single reuniting huge group of singers

According to a press release announcing the project, the song was conceived by Reid, the chairman of the Island Def Jam Music Group, after a meeting with the women behind the Stand Up to Cancer campaign.

Emmys Most Memorable Moments!

Does Buffy stand up against Brian's Song? Does the end of Grey's "bomb" scene hold a candle to Moonlighting?

The 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards invites TV enthusiasts, like you and I, to ostensibly settle such debates as part of the "Most Memorable" theme that is in place for this year's kudocast.

To vote on the 20 comedy and 20 drama finalists, go to ABC.com and while away a good 45 minutes of your day watching some truly memorable clips. The top five vote-getters in each category will be honored during the awards ceremony airing Sept. 21 on ABC.

We love the idea!!! Plus, even though it was never shown the Emmy love, the Academy still decided to include it in this poll. How much would it rock if it won the people's choice?

It's baaackkkkk

Just like a genital warts flare up, The Hills is back for another round tonight at 10pm on MTV. We can't wait to see if Audrina moves out, if Lo is really a bitch, and of course how Lauren cries black tears. Seriously ladies waterproof mascara, it works we swear. And of course we have missed stick figure Heidi, Spencer's flesh colored beard and area nightclub, like a lot. In case you had a life this weekend and missed the marathons or the in depth specials (an we mean into the show not the brain capacity of the cast) here is the season 4 trailer to get your Hills going.

SYTYCD Shocker

Who saw that one coming last night? Wow. When both Twitch & Will were up for elimination, my insides got all gooey, and not in a butterfly way, more like, oh I'm going to hurl on the side of the couch kind of way.

Will is gone. You know the kid will get a TON of work. It's just upsetting to see him go. Comfort, so long. Will, we hardly knew ya.

Debbie Allen must be happy, though. Homegirl can use him whenever she pleases.

Sidenote. LL Cool J. You barely licked your lips last night. WTF.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

So a few weeks ago I was supposed to go to the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia TV panel, yup the cast was going to be there questions were going to get asked and I was going to make out with Glen Howerton, then it got cancelled. Booo. I was made at the Always Sunny crew, until I saw this, Going Back to Philly. Enjoy.

more of Wendy Vs Omarosa

The beginning of this just showcases how immature Omarosa is.

Thank you for being a friend

Oh, Estelle Getty. Sophia.

You know this day would come, but it hurts my heart to write this entry right now. She and the other Golden Girls had such a prominent presence in my life growing up.

My mom and I used to bond over the show. We'd watch before Empty Nest, and then continue with the tradition on Lifetime, always cracking up at Sophia's wisecracks and loving the strong bond they had with each other. This continued in college, when I'd come home from break and we'd relax on the couch at 1pm and 5pm to watch. Hell, I even tried out Golden Palace.

Having family members who've fallen in their battles with Alzheimer's & Parkinson's, I know the toll these diseases take on someone. You never wish it upon anyone and she had been battling it for a while. However, at the young age of 84 you still hope for more of her wit to come.

Legally Blonde: A New Elle Woods is born

Congratulations, Bailey Hanks! You're the new ELLE WOODS!

Even though it was a bit surprising that adorable youngin' Lauren wasn't in the top 3 or even 2 (WTF!?), Bailey was our choice to win from the first day. The girl screamed Elle, from her copycat Reese face, to that Elle Woods hair.

Hanks begins performances Wednesday at the Palace Theatre, replacing Tony-nominated leading lady Laura Bell Bundy. She already has recorded a song from the show, So Much Better, available at iTunes and Amazon.

Laura Bell Bundy will soon be tryin her hand at music, with a possible Country album in the future.

look at that mascera

Yes, that's Nicole Ritchie and yes, she WILL be on NBC's Chuck.
Is anyone else getting an Uma Thurman, Kill Bill vibe?

Weeds news

Our belowed Showtime series Weeds has been renewed for two more seasons.

WEEEE!

Ebert & Roeper: end of an era

Granted, Siskel & Ebert were an era, but At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper still comes with a ton of history.

Ebert has opted out of his contract after seeing how Disney was reimagining his program. This is also after Roeper quit his gig at the Chicago Sun-Times.

the question remains. Will At the Movies or Ebert's new program (he's shopping it around as of now) maintain the thumbs up/thumbs down phrase?

Omarosa vs Wendy Williams

This clip is unreal in how absurd Omarosa is. I love how she fails to mention that she's been pitching a "Bachelorette" featuring Omarosa all over town. Take your head out of Donald's ass and find a real job.

90210: an airdate has been set

September 2nd.
2 hours long.

Yes, a 2 hr season premiere. We're sure the ratings will be pretty big the first night around.

However, one big night of ratings does not a series make. NBC's Knight Rider will find this out pretty soon.

The View: it's all blown over

one of the funniest Spongebobs

Shear Genius inspired hair

This new season of Shear Genius on Bravo is apparently inspiring everyone to do their own spin on the showcased hair.

For example, our friend Kristin Pellicane rockin out the curls. Easy, breezy, and sets a mood for the night.

I, on the other hand, op for a hat. Showcasing my...hat hair.

Real World Hollywood: Brianna Taylor might have a hit

Believe it or not, this track is actually on Billboard's Heatseekers chart right now.

Congratulations Jennifer Garner!!!

To our favorite Alias, congratulations on your 2nd pregnancy!!

She's 5 months in already!

Life of an American Teenager renewed and other news

ABC Family is on a roll. Life of an American Teenager has been renewed for 13 more episodes to air in early 2009. It might be a wee bit early since it's only on episode 4 this Tuesday, but whatevs.

Wipeout should be adding more episodes to its run soon, as well. However, ABC doesn't want to run the show into the ground, so it might stay a summer staple ala CBS's addictive Big Brother.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians will be coming back for a Season 3. Again, not a surprise as it's E!'s #1 show in 18-34 on Sundays.

GG: you've got to love this ad campaign

Amy Poehler breaks records

This is Mighty B worthy, isn't it?

That supporting actress nom for Saturday Night Live is a first for the series.

It was a bit jarring, but much deserved!

UPDATE:
As our amazingly smart and intuitive friend Nicole K reminded us, before now SNL could only be nominated in the Outstanding Variety category, hence the nomination. Thanks, N!!

Live on the Scene: The Emmy Nominations

Picture it. Richmond, Va. 1992. My first Emmy nominations viewing. My mom shakes me awake and places some Cinnamon Toast Crunch next to me, as I rub my groggy eyes and hope to hear Home Improvement's name be called in Best Comedy Series.

This went on, minus the Home Improvement part, every year, up to now.

Imagine my surprise/glee when my boss invited me to the Emmy Nominations Announcement this morning. I was on cloud 9, still am actually.

Yes, the announcements began at 5:40am PST, yet I somehow got enough sleep to make it in time.

FYI to any people in North Hollywood, the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at 5300 Lankershim is the only one that opens at 5am. Me and the old man in the corner of the store had a grand old time...until the security at the front of the Television Academy building told me no food or drink was allowed inside the theatre....cut to me chugging the Ice Blended, hoping to gain a buzz, and walking in with Mark & Vicki.

I'm not sure if anyone else had the same impression, but whenever I watch the E! Commentary, or even ET, any entertainment programs, they make it seem as if the nominations are being announced in a separate room from the commentary.

Not so.

Watch with Kristin is going on to the left of me with Jason Kennedy on E!, while a KTLA anchor advises his audience to grab that last cup of coffee because the "60th Annual Primetime Emmy Nominations are about to be announced". We grab a ballot, secretly of course, and sift thru. No Jay Leno? No FNL? Boston Legal AGAIN!?

Neil Patrick Harris & Kristin Chenoweth walk about with VP John Scheffner (great man, very kind) and they begin the announcement. Cheers are heard throughout the room for Mad Men's nom, Sally Field, Raisin in the Sun, Damages, and Gabrielle Byrne. We cheer when Tom Bergeron's nom as Reality Host is announced (WOO). A snicker is heard behind me when Boston Legal's nom for Outstanding Drama Series is announced. The cake is brought out, marking the 60th Anniversary. By 7am, no one had touched it. Neil mentions in an interview "yes, the first thing I think of at 6:40am is cake". Reporters rush the stage trying to get that one great photo of Kristin Chenoweth leaning on the Emmy statue.

Speaking of which, the mystery as to what the Emmy represents. The ball that she is holding above her head represents an atom, aka the Sciences. The wings/bolts represent the Arts. So, The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Who needs the Scooby Gang?

I watch as our TV Idol, Kristin in a smashing green dress, interviews Kristin Chenoweth. Look for me behind them since I made sure to walk back and forth, or look longingly in the distance as if I was searching for someone. They act as if they've been old friends, kissing each other's cheek, beaming at each other. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but I know Kristin gave Kristin C a gift at the end. How sweet!

My friend Lauren surprises me at the stage with a hug, I'm not realizing that she's the publicist for the Academy. Even though she's had a long couple days involving the ESPYs, she still offers to invite me to any other Emmy events coming up. So, expect scoop, Couch readers!

The one depressing thing? Walking out, realizing it was daytime, and I still had 2 and a half hours to kill before work.

Don't mind me, but I'm going to sip on my tea while my Emmy credential dangles around my neck....and I curse Boston Legal's name.

You can get a full list of the nominees at:

Emmy Noms!

We love today cause for us TV junkies the Emmys were announced, and even better this year J was there! You can start being jealous at any time now. So check back for his thoughts and numerous sitings.

90210 Updates from our spies

Check it out below... All names have been changed to protect the gossipers.

UPDATE!!!! NEWS FLASH!!! SPARKLES LIGHTS!!!

7/15/08

As I was leaving the lot last night I noticed security guards every where and tons of kids all decked out in their finest American Apparel wear and they were standing in small groups and I thought hello late 20 yeard olds pretending to be students at West Bev. They were shooting an outdoor cafeteria scene, sadly no major starts sitings....

Until today at 2:43pm when ******* and I were walking to Office Depot. As we were walking towards the gate we saw a young gentleman wearing a horrible outfit. At first we thought it was a PA until we realized that there was not headset on him, which we all know PA's live and die by those things on set. It gives them a sense of purpose ya know? Anyway he smiled at us and then put his head down in that shy you girls are really cute way. (or he was like I am a star of the upcoming show 90210 and want these girls to stop staring at me. I think it is the first one.) And then he walked into his trailer.

Yup we saw the kid who plays Ethan the tennis jock, most popular boy in school. Someday we will know his actual name because more than likely he will be caught in a drunk driving scandal or something and be all over TMZ. For now though he is Ethan, the kid whose name I am to lazy to really google.

See you at the Peach Pit!


And the hits just keep on coming...like fries at the peach pit or Brandon's side burns.

First off let me say that I am mad at Brandon cause they totally approached him to be on the show and he said no, but he would like to direct. I call bs.

I think ******* and I have found what we in the business call the golden hour. Or ok yea what I call the golden hour.

As we were walking to the new Fed Ex Box we walked by all of the trailers and I was like wow Jessica Walter's trailer and I am excited cause hello that is Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development. Well as we continue to walk who drives by us in a golf cart. Jessica Waters!!!

After we jammed the Fed Ex Box and the guy with one blonde eyebrow tried to unpry it (true story don't ask), we headed back and saw the main girl the "Brenda" character if you will. She is cute but as ******* said: "Her hair color is weird, but I guess since she is supposed to be from what Wyoming then it is good for her character." ******* has great insight. No lie.

Then we saw Ethan again this time in a much better outfit, which makes us sad for him cause obviously boy dresses in the dark.

Two updates in one day, my head is about to explode!

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

God Bless Joss Whedon. He got very inspired by his musical Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode and started a webisode called Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.

It is hysterical and stars Neil Partick Harris and Nathan Fillion. Harris is Dr. Horrible who is trying to take over the world and Fillion is the Hammer his arch nemesis. Of course though Dr. Horrible is in love with a girl named Penny (Felicia Day).

But of course with this supreme coolness there is a catch. It is a three episode series but you can only watch Act 1 7/15-7/16 and then Act 2 7/17-7/18 and finally Act 3 7/19-7/20.

But of course you can always download it on iTunes. Trust us watch it.

nice subliminal message

Look out for the Candies FLASH

a new way to learn numbers

Gossip Girl: Season 2 previews!!

Oh, Chuck.

Project Runway Tonight!

Let it soak in couchers. This is the last season of Project Runway on Bravo, with the same producers, oh and in New York. It may never be the same again.

Amy Poehler to Primetime?

Rumors are swirling that Amy Poehler maybe be leaving SNL for the new NBC Office spinoff, which is not really a spinoff so they say. Right now the only one cast for this show is Azia Ansari from Human Giant.

We would LOVE to see Amy on primetime!! Make this happen NBC.

Katie Holmes Back to the Small Screen

Katie Holmes will always be for us Joey Potter the girl who smiled like she has had a mild stroke, who hates the city of Worcester, MA, and got to hook up with Pacey and wore lipstick and hairspray. Yea only true fans will know that last line.

Anyway. Looks like Katie Holmes will play a non profit attorney on one of our favorite shows Eli Stone.

Whoa Pacey and Joey are both going to be on TV in the fall. Bring back Dawson and his large head!

Whoa.

blast from the past: Golden Girls

FX: Marcia Marcia Marcia

Holy crap.

Read this press release from FX on the TCA tour:
BEVERLY HILLS, July 15, 2008 John Landgraf, the President and General Manager of FX Networks, today made multiple programming and casting announcements about some of FX's critically acclaimed and award-winning series, and announced a new comedy series at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour. They included:

FX will order 19 additional episodes of NIP/TUCK and the series will end its historic run in early 2011. Creator/Executive Producer RYAN MURPHY will see the show through to its end as showrunner. The 2005 Golden Globe winner for best drama series recently finished production on final 8 episodes of its 22-episode fifth season, and those eight episodes will air in early 2009. The additional order will bring the series to 100 episodes for the life of the show. It has been the #1 scripted series in basic cable among adults 18-49 five years in a row, a record which will not be broken any time soon.

FX intends to produce 39 more episodes of IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA in addition to the 13 currently in production. The series' fourth season premieres on Thursday, September 18th at 10 p.m. SUNNY has seen significant ratings growth each of its three seasons. It ranks among the top series downloaded on iTunes and also on Hulu, where it has been #1 among all series for the past week, and it is one of the top-selling TV DVDs for Fox Home Entertainment. ROB McELHENNEY, CHARLIE DAY and GLENN HOWERTON will remain as both stars and executive producers, and KAITLIN OLSON and DANNY DeVITO will stay on as series stars.

Using IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELHIA as a springboard to launch a second comedy series, FX will be ordering 13 episodes of a new original scripted series currently titled TESTEES (working title; see attached release). TESTEES will premiere in October following a new original episode of SUNNY. It was created by KENNY HOTZ, who has written for SOUTH PARK, and he created and ran the series KENNY VS. SPENNY on Comedy Central. TESTEES is a scripted comedy which focuses on two friends in their early 30s who earn their living as medical guinea pigs.

FX and Sony Pictures Television closed a deal with MICHAEL J. FOX for a four-episode arc for the fifth season of RESCUE ME. The 22-epsiode fifth season begins in the spring of 2009 and Fox will appear in the season five opener.

Academy Award winning actress MARCIA GAY HARDEN will be joining new cast members WILLIAM HURT and TIMOTHY OLYPHANT as additions to the cast of DAMAGES for its second season which premieres in January of 2009.

TED DANSON will return to the cast of DAMAGES for several episodes this season in his role as Arthur Frobisher.

THE SHIELD's JAY KARNES will be joining SONS OF ANARCHY for at least six episodes in the series' first season.

DREA de MATTEO, who appears in the SONS OF ANARCHY pilot, will appear in five additional episodes of the first season.

MARCIA GAY HARDEN?! THAT'S AMAZING!

AND 100 episodes of NIP/TUCK!

AND 39 episodes of It's Sunny!

It's basically Christmas, today.

CSI: William Peterson leaving

Doesn't this ruin the show?

William Peterson is leaving CSI. This should definitely hurt ratings, as he's the show's anchor.

He'll be leaving midseason.

SYTYCD BREAKING NEWS! CAST MEMBER EXIT!

Jessica has exited the show because of an injury, bringing back Comfort.

Comfort, who was just voted off the show, will be coming back.

Jessica out, Comfortably in the competition all over again.

Wow.

Heroes: VM returns

If she hadn't, we wouldn't be watching.

Kristen Bell will be back for several episodes of Heroes this fall, beginning with the September premiere (you know, the one following the "red carpet special").

She brought much-needed energy to the show! or should we say...electricity.

Brooke Knows Best

BLOWS as in boring and can't believe anyone would produce this scripted crap.

Happy Monday!

Bikini or Bust: Ashley Paige

Did you know that even those designers who appear on The Hills are broke?

That's what's happening with Ashley Paige as her new TLC premiered on Friday.

Verdict: watchable, with a possible case of the addictives.

Her helpful mom's adorable. Juan is one of the hardest workers on television, and Ashley can cry at the drop of a dime.

It's shaping up to be a fashion divalicious summer indeed.
