Breaking news: The Hills isn't completely fake. On Wednesday, I went to a private Epic Records showcase to see this new Irish band, The Script, and you won't believe who was working the event. Audrina. I mean, the whole thing was being filmed, so maybe it was just an elaborate set up for the show, but she did pass out CDs to the small crowd before cameras rolled, so... yeah, I don't know. Anyway, today: Friday Night Lights, United States of Tara, Life on Mars, Big Love, Lost, Ugly Betty, The Office and 90210, topped with a little David Silver time. Enjoy.
Longtime, dedicated Dunder Mifflin fans should cherish the next few days. Because once Sunday night comes and goes, The Office could just blow the ef up, beckoning new and ardent fans from far and wide. I just previewed their post Superbowl festivities and can say without hesitation that this special episode they've got planned contains some of the series' finest work. In the first few minutes alone, you will lose your mind watching Dwight Schrute commit a felony, nearly killing a co-worker... not to mention another one of Angela's cats...

When ABC gifted us TV journos with an advanced screening of Lost episode 5.3 a couple weeks back, I have to say, it was the highlight of January Press Tour. Why? Because this season's third installment -- which airs tonight -- puts episodes 1 and 2 to shame -- and that's saying a lot considering the complete absence of all Oceanic 6ers, you will not see Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun or Aaron this evening -- I mean, sure, I suppose it's possible that we were all just delirious from days and days of TCA activities. But I'm telling you, as the hour played out, I'm pretty sure I heard a few laughs and stunned gasps coming from that ballroom full of jaded, overtired TV critics.
Today, a small dose of TV scoop on Entourage, Life on Mars, 90210 and Prison Break...

Want solid confirmation on Bones and Booth being naked in bed together before the end of the season? Wonder if they'll ever actually consummate the relationship? Also, will Zack be back? And might the Angela-Hodgins reunion come sooner rather than later? Bones producers Hart Hanson, Stephen Nathan and Barry Josephson are talking. So is David Boreanaz. Take a look...
The midseason premiere of Burn Notice is tonight and KTV correspondent, Marisa Roffman, tells me there's just one way to describe it: bad ass. Marisa pre-screened this evening's episode and has quite a lot to say about what's ahead...
Though NBC has yet to confirm, it looks as though Dr. Doug Ross will be back in the ER before the series takes its final bow this Spring. According to Entertainment Tonight and RadarOnline.com, sources are saying that George Clooney -- who played Doug Ross from 1994 to 2000 -- will be filming scenes for the show this Thursday and Friday.

The wait is finally over, my friends. Lost returns tonight with a two-hour premiere that will turn the Island on its head. When you realize what happened as a result of Ben moving the old Isle, I do suspect you'll be a bit blown away ...but I won't say anymore on that subject, as I don't want to ruin the "whaaa--?!" for you. What I will say is that the Oceanic 6 are pretty much where we left them last Spring and our pal Hugo "Hurley" Reyes is no exception. I had the chance to talk to the guy behind Hurley, Mr. Jorge Garcia, who was nice enough to b.s. with me on what we've already seen and what's to come in season 5...
