Investigators rule out foul play in Gary Coleman's death...Well, that was a short investigation.
Kim Kardashian reaches 5 million Twitter followers...And finally has a force large enough to take back Terok Nor.
If Jessica Alba's body is saggy, well, I'll take one for the team and offer to support any part of her body that needs it.
"Die Hard" director John McTiernan gets a year in prison. Looks like we finally get the justice we deserve for Rollerball.

I shortened that first one for you so you could tweet it: LiLo says 'no-no' to MiLo at BeFo.
"Which celeb was voted off "Dancing with the Stars"?" If you think I am actually going to click on a link to find out, you have another think coming. But I'm happy to guess: is it one of the ones who moves kind of like a rhinoceros in work boots while his/her partner does all the real dancing?
"Kim Kardashian reaches 5 million Twitter followers." That explains why she's not returning my DMs, I guess.
Tracy Morgan: "I love fornication". I agree. That David Duchovny brings a real - wait, what? - oh.
McTiernan gets a year in prison for perjury. Looks like his next film will be "Lie Hard."
Wonder if Chelsea Handler thinks the sex with 50 Cent is that great, or if it's more like half a buck.
First "$#*! My Dad Says," now "Awkward Family Photos". At the rate they're stealing from the internet, we can look for one of the networks to open next season's comedy lineup with something called "Worse Than Hitler."
Josh, in H'wood I believe it's customary to kiss the bigwig's *ass*.

I think there's a trebuchet out there that screams "hit TV series."
"Michael Lohan denied access to daughter Lindsay Lohan, currently rehabbing at the Betty Ford Clinic" -- Did you know Betty Ford is 92 (according to Wikipedia)? Oh, this was about the Lohans. Never mind.
"Investigators rule out foul play in Gary Coleman's death" -- Nor was it a stroke, different or otherwise.
"'Real Housewife of New Jersey' Teresa Giudice may get her own show" -- Oh please, don't spin off each woman to her own show! It'd be like those brooms in Fantastia splitting up and taking over the world, one fake tan at a time. Stop the madness now, before it's too late!
"Oksana Grigorieva's lawyers pull the plug on the Oprah interview" -- Finally, someone (the lawyer, I mean) smart enough to resist the Big O. She's like a spider waiting for the fly. And so many have gone on, unsuspecting, only to meet their fate with no chance of escape. (Of course, those audience members hoping to find a signed piano under their seat are disappointed, but hey, that's life.)
"Chelsea Handler to play Reese Witherspoon's best friend in 'This Means War'" -- Clearly it's not a comedy. If the friend is also mute, Chelsea would be perfect.

Let's see who else we can deny Michael Lohan access to.
Tho I am not a propenent of the movement, I can't help thinking that Margaret Cho got voted off more because of her Rainbow advocacy than her bad dancing.
I don't care where the Situation is, I am STILL not going to Jersey.
Jessica wants us all to say "no no, it's not true" instead of "you're still hawt"
or maybe both.
Why is it "Chel/Cent" and not "Fiddy-ler?"

Although everyone looks pretty darn hot in the commercial, I'm so sad this will be Friday Night Lights' last season.
It would be fun if they could do a second commercial with everyone who's coming back to do a guest stint: Scott Porter, Adrianne Palicki, Zach Gilford, Jesse Plemons and Taylor Kitsch.
Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can't lose.

Pfallsgirl, I never watched Friday Night Lights, but what the heck:
Book them all on Glee!

And do you think Lilo's dad has realized he might be part of her problem yet? (maybe they should check him in too just to keep him away from her and save us from him.)
td- great analogy with the "real" housewives - they are like brooms, I'm waiting for Andy Cohen's boss to wake up from his nap and fix this mess.

"not even canadian tv would be that desparate for programming."
It's not desperation - it's bandwidth. What with every single hockey game (pro, amateur, recreational, video and tabletop set) in the country being broadcast this season and the rest of the airtime going to the reality shows "So You Think You Can Prorogue Parliament?" and "$^%# My Dad Can Say On Canadian TV In Prime Time, Compared to Never on CBS," there just isn't time for the kind of innovative programming you espouse.
Maybe it's time for a podcast.

byoolin, do TV series that Shatner's on get special priority on Canadian TV because he's a native Montrealer?

Indeed, Nosy, and there's actually a cable tv channel dedicated to the only-available-in-Canada shows made my Canadians who have gone on to fame in the US.
My personal favourite, of course, is the action-reality series, "Paul Anka - Licensed To Kill." You'd be shocked at the number of headless bodies in the desert around Vegas with his fingerprints (figuratively speaking, of course - the man's a pro) on them.

SPLOOT!
byoolin, reversing the trend, CBS has been airing "Flashpoint" the past couple summers (never realized Enrico Colantoni was Canadian, since his accent sounds more like a New Yawker's to my untrained ear). Love picking out the Toronto locations on it...

Oksana was 'afraid Mel would kill her' Boo Hoo. . . . YAWN!!! She probably wouldn't leave him alone.
She does sound like a fame-seeking, money-seeking, otherwise under-motivated woman whose only goal in life was to have a kid with a famous man who'd pay her very handsomely to get the ---- away from him. Too bad for Mel Gibson that he's Catholic---no birth control. Now he's stuck for the next 18 years having to deal with his child's insane mother.

How could it be secret support when everyone knew Papa Joe was living in a house owned by MJ and MJ was paying the bills? I would call that stunningly obvious.
Of course the lawyers pulled the plug on Oksana. Never let the gold digger talk. She would torpedo her own case. Of course, Mel's lawyers would love to let her babble for hours.
