Once a strange family, always a strange family.

Once a strange family, always a strange family.

The Spellings: Randy says late father Aaron would love the new 90210.  Candy was named woman of the year.  What planet are they living on?!

W: Looks like Bush even fails at the box office.  Life imitating art?

Red Sox: Not going to the World Series.  Guess this year wasn’t a total loss for the Yanks!

Matt Damon: Coming back for another Bourne installment.  Does it ever get old?

HSM: We’re only days away from the new movie!  Yesssss!

Faith Hill: 41 and on the cover of SHAPE in a bikini.  Good for her!

Lil’ Wayne: Will become a dad in mere “days.”  Who even knew he was married?  That’s right; he’s probably not.

SIZZLED OUT: Tori Spelling

STILL SIZZLING: Which famous gossip columnist just turned 85 and still manages to scoop us all?

Guess they won't be so close anymore.

Guess they won't be so close anymore.

Sarah Palin: Funny on SNL last night but funny doesn’t make a great vice president, does it?

Obama: Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has endorsed Obama, breaking party lines.  Surprising?

Obama Pt. 2: Also got three media endorsements last week–two of them also quite surprising.  This is the first time the LA Times and the Chicago Tribune have endorsed a Democrat!

Variety: Has a great article on the incestuous relationship between film and television.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles got a surprise full-season pickup.  The bad news: It means Brian Austin Green will still be too busy for a 90210 cameo!

Spamalot: Even Clay Aiken couldn’t save it.  The show will close in January.

SIZZLED OUT: Mad Men

STILL SIZZLING: Which celeb–who was shortchanged in her father’s will not too long ago–is selling her home for nearly 2.4 million?

He may have a perpetual scowl but he's using his new book to tell us why.

He may have a perpetual scowl but he's using his new book to tell us why.

Sarah Palin: Will be making her long-awaited appearance on SNL tonight.  Great for ratings.

Eminem: From the memoir we told you about yesterday: “If you go back and look at the abuse that I took, it’s no surprise I became who I am.”  We’re just curious to know who he is today.

TV: How dumb are thee?  Let us count the ways.

Grammy Awards: There will actually be a nomination special on two months before the big event.  Considering how down ratings have been for awards shows lately, we don’t really understand this move.  Who wants low ratings twice?

Lost: The show is ending!  In 2010…

SIZZLED OUT: Jenny McCarthy and Denis Leary

STILL SIZZLING: This show is coming back for a third season, possibly without its creator.  Too bad we don’t watch it.

I'm not Sharpay!

I'm not Sharpay!

Eminem: Finally coming back on the radar.  But not with new music but a memoir instead.  He’s had an interesting public life thus far.  We can’t wait to get more details!

Andy Dick: He gets to wear a new accessory for the next year: an alcohol monitor bracelet!

Prison Break: Rumor has it there are 3 deaths in the upcoming episodes.  While we’re sad to see anyone go, maybe this means the show will finally have a simple plot.

Gossip Girl: Critics are saying it gets better with each episode–and the best is still yet to come.  We totally disagree…and yet we can’t stop watching!

Chris Kilpatrick: Called ex-bandmate Lance Bance the worst dancer in NSYNC but also noted he’s “amazing” on DWTS.  That’s sort of a compliment.  Maybe.  Kinda.

Ashley Tisdale: She’s said she wants to shed her HSM image.  Step one: dying her hair.  Weird to see her with this color when Seventeen has her on the cover of their new issue as a blonde.

The cast of All My Sons

The cast of All My Sons

Katie Holmes: Her short guest stint on Eli Stone will impact the whole season.  And her Broadway show has officially opened.  I don’t think Mrs. Tom Cruise needs anymore ego boosts.

John McCain: Admits he “screwed up” by backing out of his Letterman appearance last week.  Let’s hope that isn’t something he ever has to admit again.

Travis Barker: Wrote on his blog that he should be coming home soon and can’t wait to be with his “babes.” We’re going to assume he meant babies and not, you know, babes.  Warning: There is a somewhat grotesque of his burnt hand at the bottom of the  entry.  Look at your own risk.

OTH: We thought we saw the last of Lindsey (Michaela McManus).  We haven’t.  Shit.

Gossip Girl: The author of the book series has both love and hate for the TV show.  Well, so do the rest of us.

Actors’ Strike: It’s becoming more and more likely as talks between SAG and the studios continue to break down.  Time to take precautionary measures: stock up your TiVo!

Lilo and Saman: Lohan’s publicist deliberately said recently they weren’t dating.  But when asked if they broke up, she said things are “fine.”  So which is it?

STILL SIZZLING: Which actors have been going back and forth this week about a not-so-little thing called autism?

SIZZLED OUT: Demi Moore, mother of Rumer Willis

A, um, glimpse into Zack and Miri's pornography adventure.

A, um, glimpse into Zack and Miri's pornography adventure.

CNN: A comedy show on CNN?  It’s coming, and will be hosted by D.L. Hughley.  Says the network: “When you watch as much news as our audience does, there comes a time you just want to stop and laugh.”  As they say, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.  Pretty true considering the current state of our country.  Go for the giggles!

Seth Rogen: His new flick–Zack and Miri Make a Porno–is running into some marketing problems.  Apparently a lot of places don’t want to advertise something so risque.  That only makes us want to see it more!

Project Runway: Picked its fifth winner last night.  This is getting old.

World Series: Rapidly approaching but the end might be getting farther.  MLB says the sixth game might be delayed due to Obama’s purchase of air time.

CW: Stepping up their game with a whole slew of guest stars for November sweeps–including Perez Hilton?!

The WB: Our new favorite site.  Watch full episodes of OTH, Everwood, The O.C., Smallville, Friends.  The lists gone on and on!  You MUST check it out!

More Crashes: Sadly, two more accidents happened this week.  Both Blake Lively’s dad and Gale Harold (of Desperate Housewives) were both injured in car wrecks.

Kanye West: What’s a good way to demonstrate the raw, natural quality your new album?  If you’re Kanye, that means having 30-plus completely naked women sitting on stage as the album plays.  We think the connection is a bit of a stretch.

Danity Kane just got significantly less feminine.

Danity Kane just got significantly less feminine.

Angelina Jolie: Admitted in a TV interview this morning that she and Brad are already considering adopting again.  What, six kids aren’t enough?

Aubrey O’ Day: Kicked out of Danity Kane by Diddy because of “the person that fame has made her.”  Guess she really is damaged.

Beyonce: Scheduled to perform on the last episode of TRL in November.  Expect more goodies to be announced in the coming weeks.

Chris Kattan: Officially divorced from his wife after two months.  Very unfunny for a supposedly funny man.

David Duchovny: AKA the recovering sex addict has confirmed he and his wife (actress Tea Leoni) are separated–and have been for several months.

TV Guide: Remember how we told you yesterday our beloved magazine was sold ? Now we have a price: a whopping…$1.

90210: Some people thought the only thing this “spin-off” had going for it was Jessica Walters as the boozy grandma.  Well, no more.  Or at least, significantly less.  Walter has been demoted from from a regular to a recurring character.  The reason: too much expense. The “consolation”: that Adrianna girl will now be a regular.  Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?

Jason Priestley: Coming back to play Brandon.  But not THEE Brandon.  Just some new character with the same name on My Name is Earl.  What a tease!

Best Week Ever: Not true for the multiple commentators that were fired.  From now on, only one person will have the best week ever.

SIZZLED OUT: Gossip Girl

STILL SIZZLING: Which Hollywood mom recently said giving her daughter “motherly advice” included directing her in a short film?

Guess they won't be doing THAT anymore!

Guess they won't be doing THAT anymore!

Madonna: So it’s true.  Their reps have released a joint statement.  Divorce will proceed.  Settlement not yet reached.  What we want to know: so did she really have an affair with A-Rod?

Rolling Stone: The over-sized mag is going on a diet.  Starting with the Oct. 30th issue, the magazine will appear just like all the other glossy mags out there.  They save money, we get more pages.  Good for everyone?

Janet Jackson: Her rep is saying the mysterious illness was a case of bad migraines.  Um, okay.

DWTS: Cloris Leachman, 82, is still in the competition.  We still think this can only end badly.

AMA: Among the nominees for the American Music Awards: Alicia Keys, Coldplay, Lil’ Wayne and Taylor Swift.  Jimmy Kimmel will host for the 5th time.  Guess people aren’t sick of him.

Beyonce: Will be giving fans a multiple choice with her new album: a 17-track double disc or an 11-song version.  Smart economical move?

A little less time, a little more music, please.

A little less time, a little more music, please.

Madonna: Reports are swirling this morning that Madonna and Guy will announce the divorce that has been rumored for so long.  Her rep declined comment–perhaps that means an official statement this afternoon?  Check back later today for part 2!

Joe Manganiello: The actor–who plays Owen on One Tree Hill–has a legit Facebook profile.  No shit.

James Van der Beek: The return of Dawson?  Sort of.  One Tree Hill creator, Mark Schwahn, has confirmed that the teen soap veteran will guest-star on a November ep, as a filmmaker.  Kind of like Dawson, no?

Tim McGraw: He’s “embarrassed” that his record label put out another greatest hits album instead of new music.  After all, he’s had THREE compilations out in the last 2 years.  Time for new music is right!

Iron Man 2: Don Cheadle will be taking over Terrence Howard’s role.  We don’t really know what that means considering we never saw Iron Man in the first place.

Matthew Perry: Showtime is making a show starring the former friend but we’re more excited to see him in 17 Again with Zac Efron!

Gossip Girl: Yalies are quite upset with their portrayal in Monday’s episode.  Pretentious much?

TV Guide: The struggling mag has been sold to a private equity company.  No word yet on what that means exactly for the magazine but hopefully it’ll stay around long enough for us to work there!

Fall Out Boy: New album pushed back to DECEMBER?! Blame the election.

SIZZLED OUT: Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady)

STILL SIZZLING: If rumors of a funeral are true, New York City may get a little less crowded on this TV show.

We actually love the leggings AND the hair.  Good goin', Linds.

We actually love the leggings AND the hair.

DJ AM: Will make his first post-crash DJ appearance tomorrow with  Jay-Z.  Good for him!

90210: Ratings from DVRs significantly boosted the show’s viewership.  The downside?  It means no one cares to watch the show the first time around.  Can’t say we blame them.

Justin Timberlake: JT is in a election-state-of-mind.  He attended an Obama rally and performed…wait for it…VOTE IN A BOX!

Blake Lively: Also apparently an Obama fan, as is boyfriend Penn Badgley.  The two star in ad set to run on the CW, MTV and Comedy Central.  Do celebs really influence how a person votes??

Lindsay Lohan: Launched her leggings line.  Yes, leggings.  And named after none other than Marilyn Monroe.

Madonna: Is it cool to wear part-shoe, part-gun on your feet?  The Madge apparently thinks so.
