  • Maria Menounos — our favorite Latina-looking Greek — has left Entertainment Tonight for Access Hollywood. Mary Hart, meanwhile, has left Entertainment Tonight for the plastic surgeon’s office. [AP]
  • CBS already has a TV movie in the works about the BTK killer. I’m sure network television will really do this story justice too… Is it me, or does “BTK Killer” sound like a new item at Burger King? [AP]
  • Some guy is suing ABC because he claims he came up with the idea of Lost back in 1977 (a.k.a. when J. J. Abrams was 11 years old. Bastard!). The writer alleges that he came up with the idea of airplane survivors encountering strange things on an island. Sounds like a watertight case! Now, if you excuse me, I’m gonna go back to reading Lord of the Flies… [E! Online via Yahoo]
  • FX orders third season of Rescue Me. Cool. [Mediaweek]
  • Never underestimate the power of Middle America. Studies suggest that the new Jennifer Love Hewitt drama Ghost Whisperer will be a hit. Studies also suggest that people are IDIOTS. [Hollywood Reporter]
  • Concerned about America’s youth? Well, you should be. MTVu has introduced a potpourri of “celebrity professors” including Martha Stewart, Kanye West, Melissa Etheridge, and Deputy Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres. No word on whether or not college students might learn from the treasure trove of wisdom that is Sway. [Hollywood Reporter]

    Also coming to CBS in November is a sequel to “You Got Served.” It’s called “The B2K Killer: Bump, Bump, Bump.”

    I’m really getting sick of Jennifer Love Hewitts continued resistance to keep her clothes on. Christ her career dried up years ago. Whats she waiting for, an engraved invitation?

    Now if youll excuse me, I have to go watch Heartbreakers again and masturbate furiously.

    Ghost Whisperer a hit? Knockoffs are never hits. And JLH ain’t no Medium.

    I wonder whose studies suggest that Ghost Whisperer will be a hit. And are they the same people who told NBC that a fourth Law and Order was a sure thing?
