Scroll down to see when this classic episode first aired!

Scroll down to see when this classic episode first aired!

Jennifer Hudson: Maybe we’re reading too much into it but her face just seemed so sad during her Superbowl performance, the first one since the tragic deaths of her mother, brother and nephew in October.

Bruce Springteen: The Boss, on the other hand, was overly enthusiastic, going as far as sliding across the stage…and slamming his crotch into a camera.  Just as funny: when he said “I’m going to Disneyland!”  Guess he forgot he was in Tampa and in Florida it’s called Disney World!

The Daily Beast: Their lookback at some of the best post-Superbowl programming includes a classic Friends episode with Julia Roberts and Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s debut on Survivor.  Our favorite: Kevin and Winnie’s first kiss on The Wonder Years.

Britney: News broke late on Friday that she and her conservator (aka her dad) obtained restraining orders against Adnan Ghalib and Sam Lutfi, the creepos who were in life back when it was going down the tubes.

Michael Phelps: So aside from the fact that smoking marijuana is illegal, we don’t see what the big deal is.  It’s such a common thing for people his age.  And it’s unfair that, because of his Olympic success, he’s been put on this pedestal in a role model-like position.  Cut him some slack!

Oprah: We have to wonder if hiring a former MTV CEO to head up her network is the best idea.  Something tell us MTV and the Oprah Winfrey Network won’t be going after the same audiences…

Obama: The other famous O is featured on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and it’s quite an unflattering photo.  They made his head look huge!

Wheel of Fortune: If you watch all this week, you’ll see the contestants that we taped with!  Our episode, however, doesn’t air til the 27th.

SIZZLED OUT: Anna Faris (Chris Pratt)

STILL SIZZLING: ABC Family shook up their schedule by announcing 3 news shows–and the canceling of this cult fave.

Wonder how Diddy's feeling right about now...

Wonder how Diddy's feeling right about now...

Jessica Simpson: This doesn’t happen that often. Simpson said some wise words at her concert last night: “”I feel like in our world today we focus on so many things that are completely pointless.”  No doubt she’s referring to the recent hubbub surrounding her weight.

The View: Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is pregnant again!  This will be her third baby in less than 4 years!  We should be so lucky!

Obama: The Washington Post claims cartoonists are focusing too much on emphasizing the new president’s lips.  Racist or not?  Or just comes with the territory?

The CW: Returning to the listings grid in TV Guide.  In case you actually still need one of those things.

Danity Kane: The Making The Band/Diddy-formed group has completely broken up.  Guess they’re really damaged now!

Superbowl: Just face it: no party you plan or attend will top what the stars have planned for the big day.  We can’t wait til we’re famous!

The Office: After the game, don’t forget to watch the star-studded episode, which is sure to get super ratings.

Forbes: On their Web Celeb 25 list, Perez Hilton comes in a number one for the second year in a row.  How much longer do you think that’ll last?

Twitter: New to the game and don’t know who to follow?  As a companion piece to the above article, Forbes also has a list of the most influential Twitterers.

SIZZLED OUT: Rachael Ray

STILL SIZZLING: This actress, mostly known for the endless aray of spoofs she’s starred in, is getting serious with a former Everwood actor.  They’re engaged!

Harry. Prince Harry.

Harry. Prince Harry.

DWTS: Julianne Hough has a bedfellow in dancer Lacey Schwimmer.  Following Hough’s diagnosis of endometriosis, Schwimmer found out she has it, too.  Is there something in the water there?!

OTH: CW has added more episodes to this season!  Score!  More coming to Gossip Girl and 90210, as well.  We guess that’s good, too.

Selena Gomez: Move over, Nick Jonas.  Tweener Selena already has her eyes set on someone else: Shia LaBeouf.  Join the club, Selena.

Prince Harry: The royal heir better watch out. At the Quantum of Solace premiere, he made the mistake of saying Sean Connery was his favorite Bond, rather than current star Daniel Craig.  Smooth move, prince.

Beatles: The iconic quartet will have a videogame of their own in the not-so-near future.  It’s being made by the creators of Rock Band but no word yet on what exactly the game will be.

MSNBC: Took the brunt of the beating at a recent luncheon conference on Hollywood and the media.  Why is everyone so alarmed by the network’s “lopsided” coverage?  Have they seen Fox News?!

Addams Family: Coming to a theater near you. If you live in Chicago.  Or New York.  But what are the Addams doing on a stage, any way?  They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky…

The View: Despite denials by show reps, sources say Elisabeth is on the way out, if Babs has anything to do with it.  But what good is a show with hot topics if everyone’s on the same side?

Pete Wentz: Already debating whether to sell his yet-to-be-born baby’s first pics to a magazine.  We sense a great father-child relationship building already.

Jennifer Hudson and her late mother, Darnell

Jennifer Hudson and her late mother, Darnell

Jennifer Hudson: After finding out her mother and brother were murdered yesterday, the actress-singer has returned home to Chicago.  Hudson’s nephew is still missing and the FBI have joined the investigation, though a suspect–allegedly the boy’s father–is in custody. We can’t imagine the pain Hudson, who lost her father when she was a teen (and just got engaged last month), feels right now and we hope we’ll never have to.

Fall Out Boy: Trying to break a world record by appearing on more than 57 radio shows in a given day.  ‘Cause, you know, that’s cool.

DWTS: Reports are circulating that there’s beef between Cloris and the rest of the cast–though denials are being issued, too.  We all know they’re just upset that an 82-year-old has made it this far in the competition.

The View: Should the co-hosts not be allowed to wear politically-inspired clothing on the show?  That’s the latest coming from Barbara Walters after McCain-lover Elisabeth Hasselbeck sported a shirt for him on the show.  Stepping on free speech?  We’re undecided.

The CW: The network is no longer considered near-death thanks to the ratings improvement for Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill and the (questionable) success of 90210.  Though this makes us happy, we’re not gonna lie: we miss the WB.

Palin: Should she get a gig hosting a talk show if the whole VP thing doesn’t work out?  We’re thinking no.  If she doesn’t win for veep, obviously people don’t like her so why would they watch her show?

David Giuntoli: Who said there isn’t life after MTV?  This former no-name has parlayed a few seasons on Road Rules (and the spin-off challenges) into a role on Privileged.  Apparently he also kissed a dude on Grey’s Anatomy.  Who knew?

SIZZLED OUT: Carrie Underwood

STILL SIZZLING: Which megastar’s girlfriend is doing some of her own recording?  Perhaps they think it will help bring sexy back to their relationship.

That's how we feel right now

That's how we feel right now

HSM: We can’t get all the new songs out of our head! (This is not a bad thing!)

Spring Awakening: First RENT closes, and now this?  We don’t think we can handle much more.  And for the record, we’re totally blaming this on 90210.

Smurfs: The blue guys first made their debut a whopping 50 years ago.  And they’re not done yet.  Expect a full-length movie and a new TV series.  Also expect “girl empowerment,” whatever that means.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: The View co-host is going on the campaign trail for McCain and Palin.  We’re sure the show will get at least a week’s worth of hot topics out of this–and we don’t mind one bit!

90210: AnnLynne McCord (Naomi) says it’s really stressful working long hours and getting up early.  We don’t feel bad for you AT ALL.

Bono: The next great journalist?  May be considering he now has a gig writing op-ed columns in The New York Times.  Good for his fame or all just because of his fame?

Solange: After she told us over the summer that she didn’t want to be compared to big sis Beyonce, the two will likely tour together.  Makes no sense.  And don’t even get us started on B’s Sasha Fierce crap.

Macauly Culkin: Will star in a mid-season NBC comedy.  We didn’t even know he was still in the biz.

SIZZLED OUT: Charlie Sheen

STILL SIZZLING: Which singer insisted yesterday that there’s no feud between her and a certain star–even though they share a common flame?
