Worthy of praise and scholarly study?
Obama: It was only a matter of time before a political cartoon relating to our new president caused outrage. Freedom of the press? Low blow? Undecided how we feel.
Solange: Beyonce’s little sis had a little scare yesterday when she passed out and woke up in the hospital. She took to her Twitter to tell everyone the problem was just dehydration. So is this the future of PR?
Oprah: Caught part of an episode today and saw she was communicating with guests via Skype. So is the future of talk shows?
Oscars: If you’re not into the nominated movies (and believe us, it’s possible!), here are three other reasons to watch: Zac Efron, Miley and Robert Pattison. Still not convinced? Yeah, we didn’t think so.
The Hills: One of the shows that will be the subject of panels at this year’s Paley Festival. The Hills? Seriously?
MC Hammer: Getting his own reality show on A & E. Didn’t know he had 5 kids! But also not really surprised…
Katherine McPhee: In addition to appearing on an upcoming episode of Brothers & Sisters, the former American Idol contestant will do a guest stint on CSI. Looks like someone has a case of the acting bug!
USA Today: We like this headline–‘Lost’ and ’24’: Simple titles, complex, brilliant shows.
Facebook: A recent uproar about Terms of Service changes may have been quelled but it’s still worth reading what happened and who was behind it.
SIZZLED OUT: Justin Guarini
STILL SIZZLING: This popular former game show host admits he’s not one of its “loyal” viewers. Guess he doesn’t want to come on down to TV set.

I wrote a paper on The Hills at Northwestern. Anything is scholarly if you add Post Colonial to it. I want to go to the 90210 panels!
