Speaking of cute but not especially talented dudes on "American Idol,"
as we have been for the last couple of days, Ace Young is going to get
whacked on "Bones" next week. Another "Idol" runnerup who I don’t even
remember - Brandon Rogers? Really? - is also on the ep, which focuses
on a barroom singing contest. But just to be nice I’ll run a pic of
Emily Deschanel from the ep instead. (TV Squad)

ABC will move production of "Ugly Betty" to New York for next season’s episodes. New York State production tax credits are the main reason, although the show is set in New York and the pilot filmed there. Many production staffers may be dropped, and the writers will stay in LA, so it sounds like a big mess. And speaking of big messes, the seemingly sober, career-challenged tabloid queen Lindsay Lohan has signed for a guest role on the season finale and the first five episodes of next season. She’ll be playing an old classmate of Betty’s, a mean girl who has now fallen on tough times. Check out America Ferrera and LiLo the first official pix from this weekend’s shoot, which looks like a gym class flashback…

As you’ve probably heard by now, Lindsay Lohan will be guesting on the season finale of UGLY BETTY as well as the first few episodes of next season. She’ll be channeling Cady Heron, her character from ‘Mean Girls’ when she plays a schoolyard bully from Betty’s past.
There seems to be a mixed reception to […]

It’s Friday morning and I’m still feeling overwhelmed by last night’s TV extravaganza. There’s so much to discuss yet it’s sunny and beautiful outside. What to do, what to do? I know! Put together one long ass post that says nothing at all significant or insightful about any of the shows but still gets […]

Let’s see, a kickass "Survivor" - unless you prefer "Ugly Betty" or "My Name Is Earl" and "Scrubs" - followed by the first "The Office" since Jim showed us the engagement ring, followed by "30 Rock" - unless you prefer "Grey’s Anatomy" or "CSI" - followed by the return of "Lost." All new for the launch of May sweeps! And that’s not even mentioning "Without a Trace" or "Smallville" and the return of "Supernatural." Scripted television is back, baybee! On a night like this, that strike seems a distant memory. But we have a few hours to kill first. So here are a couple things to read…
