Greetings faithful TV lovers, and welcome to your daily dose of entertainment news, brought to you by
In more stars-departing-the-shows-that-made-them (relevant) news, Nicolette Sheridan is saying "bye bye" to Desperate Housewives at the end of the current season. Ted Casablancas at E! News claims he's seen a script containing Edie Britt's final scene and claims she'll get the ax in the following way: "Edie finds out that her husband, Dave, plans to kill her -- and Dave almost does kill her. She runs out of the house, but, alas, poor Edie gets in an accident, something involving her car and an electrical wire." But we all know what a liar he is.
Rapper extraordinaire Joaquin Phoenix showed up on David Letterman last night to promote his new moviefilm Two Lovers and did nothing to squash popular opinion that he's a freakazoid, spurring Letterman to acknowledge the crazy by remarking, "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight." Peep the intensely awkward clippity clip here.
Forget what you saw on last night's AI -- contestant Joanna Pacitti mighta made it through, but shortly after the broadcast a press release was circulated announcing that a previous record deal rendered her ineligible for the show. Sucks to be her. She'll be replaced by Felicia Barton.
File under "ew": ABC has greenlit the pilot for the Courteney Cox vehicle Cougar Town, in which she'll play a MILF with a teenaged son who's thrust (ew ew ew) back into the dating scene. The good news is that this show will obviously get canceled with a quickness, as all of Cox's post-Friends shows have. Allegedly, the idea for the show came from Cox's guest spot on Scrubs, that font of artistic inspiration.
The lineup ofhas-beens celebs on the new season of Dancing With the Stars was revealed a few days ago, but now we know the pairings! Steve-O and Lacey are so getting married.
Sunday night's Simpsons title sequence will get revamped for the first time since the show's debut in 1989. No more weekly couch gags, j'guess. Also they're jumping on the HD bandwagon... which I guess means, what, you'll get to see Bart's pixel acne?
This isn't quite TV news, but it was on a TV news show, so therefore I'm including an update on the adorable li'l koala named Sam, who survived a bad bush fire in Australia (with video!). Someone give me a koala.

I doubt The Simpsons would get rid of the couch gags. The past several seasons, they've put more work and thought into those into the episodes proper.
She'll be replaced by Joanna Barton.
The link says Felicia Barton
"who survived a bad bush fire (tee-hee!)"
Well, I'm glad some people can find humor in the tragic events in Australia.
This isn't snark.
Honestly, do you think you could, y'know, research and edit before posting? Its Felicia Barton, not Joanna Barton. Post Friends, Courtney Cox has been in Dirt, which ran for TWO seasons, not one, and Scrubs, which had been planned for this to be its last season long before Cox signed on. Jesus Christ, this is supposed to be a PROFESSIONAL site. Act like it, please.
Please edit this article and remove your inane and childish joke about "bad bush fires". It's genuinely offensive.
I love this site, but seriously, Lauren, there are lines and you crossed all of them.
On behalf of your Australian readers, particularly those who have lost their lives or their homes and possessions, in lieu of an apology article, I think it would be appropriate for Television Without Pity to donate to the Australian Bushfire Appeal via the Australian Red Cross. Please show that you understand that remarks like that are offensive and that you can have some empathy for our plight.
Wow, first the Katherine Heigl/TR Knight bad column from earlier this week and now "snark" about people dying in Australia's wildfires. Lauren Gitlin's having a banner week this week, and clearly no self-awareness!
What - no gay jokes?
NBC? Please replace the entire editorial staff at TWoP. Start with this twit.
Didn't like 200 people die in those (tee hee!) bush fires? Wow, I totally see the humor.
I just want Lauren Gitlin to know she disgusts me.
over 180 people have died in the Vic. bushfires and it's thought the toll could reach 300. Not a cool joke to make TWoP. Maybe next time if you're gonna mention them you could talk about the $75 million Aussies have donated.

Do you suffer from Assburger's?
Why hasn't this twit been fired yet?

Someone give me a koala. [/quote]This is the Internet Twop. You don't get do-overs. I would take back 10 Miss Allis if it meant getting rid of the current crew.
At the very least go edit out the disgusting homophobia in her other Telefile and explain to her how many people she works with that are gay. Maybe they can teach her a thing or two. Idiot.
It's amazing how seriously some of you people take yourselves.
I am guessing that "bush" was probably a typo.. good writers that write for the web get passes on shit like this.(I don't THINK they program everything themselves, but I don't know for sure).
If you read something for the sole purpose of trying to find a reason to tear it down, well go ahead and live that miserable existance. Have fun! I would rather enjoy the great content on this site which far outnumbers the bad.
To the Australian readership and those affected by this tragedy, I am not piling on... I just don't see the unfair jab or childish joke that you speak of. I just see an accidentally omitted letter from a word.
Ezz, read the part of NiceTry's comment that's in quote tags. The blog entry got edited but the original material is in that comment.
"Bush" is not a typo for brush, the term really is bush in Australia. Maybe a bit of reading something besides a TV site might make you seem less uneducated, and also, maybe then you would see why people were offended by the original blog entry.
So I'm guessing Ezz is Lauren Gitlin is diguise, since only she can defend this awfulness. Lady, you aren't funny, you aren't intelligent, and you shouldn't be allowed to write for this site.
On another site, someone wondered how on earth the editors aren't catching on to Ms. Gitlin's obvious problems. It was then pointed out that she's an Assistant Editor herself. This makes me sad.
Gee, sorry I'm late to comment on this, but I was just so busy actually doing some research and finding out what could be done to help that I forgot the important things - complaining about people who offend idiots like most of you by forgetting to think before they type! Thanks for setting me straight, self-righteous morons! Especially Dan, who felt it was perfectly fine to point out how inappropriate this was by making derogatory comments about a common and sad psychological disorder. **Sigh** It's stuff like this that makes me sorry that every idiot is free to use the Internet.
Not so grown-up after all. Dan's comment was an obvious poke at all of the idiot armchair psychiatrists who post on twop. Most of them claim that every single socially awkward character on TV has asperger's. Then they claim to have it themselves. Statistically that is impossible. And thank you very much I donated to help as well.
Let's all chill now with an old joke by the late Mitch Hedberg: I once had an infestation of koala bears. It was the most adorable infestation ever. I would turn on the lights, and a bunch of koala bears would scatter.
