  • In anticipation of tonight’s season premiere of The OC, the Los Angeles Times runs an article on Melinda “Mindy” Clarke’s typical weekend in LA/The OC. This puff piece is full of hilarious gems, thanks to the pseudo-WASPy tone Ms. Clarke employs to describe every detail: “My husband likes to take our daughter to CityWalk at Universal City, but I think places like that and amusement parks should only be done after September and before June.” She then added, “Dahhling!” [Los Angeles Times]
  • Bill Rancic announces that he’ll be leaving Trump’s side when his contract expires this spring. Well, wouldn’t you if you were offered a starring role in The Scorned 2??? [AP]
  • Have we mentioned how excited we are for Reunion? Bonus points for taking place in B-Side’s home turf of Bedford, NY. [New York Times]
  • Star Jones to weigh down the red carpet for E!. Kathy Griffin will be on hand as well, but based on last night’s hilarious finale of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, chances are the comedienne will be located about two miles away at some dingy sports bar in Koreatown. So very wrong, E!. [AP]
  • But seriously, what is the deal with E!? Not only do they favor Star Jones over Kathy Griffin, now we hear that the Gastineau Girls has been picked up for a second season. Why? Who ARE these women??? [Hollywood Reporter]
  • Don’t worry. For every action there’s a reaction. Comedy Central picks up South Park for three more seasons. [Mediaweek]

    I watched Reunion. It was pretty good. It was like Beverly Hills 90210-2005 style. I didn’t know that was a real town. Is it shot on location? My ex-husband is from Westchester County (New Rochelle)-so I kind of know that area and that show kind of looked Westchester County-ish. Is it? Or is Bedford more upstate?

    Bedford is more upstate than New Rochelle. Also, that diner they go to doesn’t exist. And neither do those big, Los Angeles style mountains in the background. But that’s okay. It’s been a big year for Westchester, what with Martha Stewart putzing around in Katonah (a village in the Bedford township).
