Oprah: Reports are saying she won’t stick with her talk show after 2011 but no worries, she won’t be going far. Just switching focus over to OWN–the Oprah Winfrey Network. World domination is next.
Palin: Before Oprah does her OWN thing (get it?!), she’ll make good on that promise to have Sarah Palin on her show. Will Palin take her up on the offer? We vote for hibernation instead.
Kanye: Musical influences? The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash and Broadway. Or so he says.
SNL: Will Joe Biden be the next politician to poke fun at himself? That’s what the execs are hoping for but we’re not too excited. Something about old white guys (see: John McCain) just isn’t funny.
The CW: The promised series about Robin (Batman’s sidekick, duh!) won’t be developed after higher ups at Warner Brothers–and Dark Knight visionary Christopher Nolan?–decided now isn’t the ideal time. Guess the tube has all the superheroes it can handle.
Beyonce: Thinks there is in fact room for one more superhero: Wonder Woman. “It’d be a dream come true to be that character,” she says. “It sure would be handy to have that lasso.” Awkward.
Fox: The mid-season schedule will shake things up all around. Most disappointing: Prison Break will simply “return at a later date.” What kind of B.S. spin is that?
Betty Boop: It doesn’t get much more random than this: the animated icon is getting her own Broadway show. No word yet on whether this will be geared towards kiddies or perverts.
Tiffani Thiessen: Coming back to TV–but not on 90210 (which is probably a good thing!) Instead she’s playing somebody’s wife on a new USA show. We’ll take whatever TAT we can get.
Christina Aguilera: A day after a certain boy band talked rivals, the girls are doing it, too. X-Tina says she and Brit Brit were never competing against each other. After all, they used to hold hands!
SIZZLED OUT: Hugh Hefner
STILL SIZZLING: Which late-night comic had a guest stand him up this week for the first time in 15 years?
