Conan takes over the Tonight Show on Monday (with an unofficial torch-passing ceremony on tonight's episode), and everyone's very nervous about how it will go, if too much Jay Leno will ruin everything, and if and how much Conesy will have to dumb down his material to satisfy the earlier crowd. Everyone, that is, except Conan himself, who recently participated in a media call to pretty much calm everyone down. And to talk about Murder, She Wrote. You'll see.

So much news about so many of my favorite shows! I've noticed that my TWoP News installments are more sci-fi centric than other people's. Is it luck that I get the good stuff, or is it just me being a massive nerd? I say both! Read on.

Whoever came up with the brilliant idea to put Janice Dickinson and Stephen Baldwin on the same show together deserves an Emmy. And whoever thought it would be a good idea to put them both on a conference call together deserves whatever award is given out to conference call coordinators. (A Groupie?) Listening to the two of them go back and forth, weighing in on Sanjaya, Speidi and Starbucks, almost makes me want to tune in and watch every episode of this show. And considering that I'm pretty sure these two will go all the way, I'll have to watch every episode, too. Luckily, Speidi told Janice they'll be dropping out early to do other stuff, so at least I won't have to watch a Pratt be crowned champion. Read more below!

After witnessing the most depressing 73 minutes of television we've ever seen in our entire lives -- i.e. the Jon & Kate Plus 8 season premiere -- earlier this week, it became clear to us and the rest of the nation that Jon and Kate Gosselin's marriage is clearly over. A sad fact, but a true one nonetheless. But just because Kate has made it very clear that she'd like to continue the show and Jon has made it very clear that he'd rather be drowning is no reason the show should end. After all, those kids aren't just going to exploit themselves! If The Hills can recast LC then Jon & Kate can certainly recast Jon. Here are a few (gender-blind 'cause it's 2009!) reality star suggestions.

Mr. Buffy is teaming up with Jack Bauer next season, and I'm in heaven. Also, other news.

Idol may be over until next year, but the contestants are still talking! I got on a conference call with Adam and Kris the other day to hear all about their future plans and how they felt about the finale and season as a whole. Adam had a lot to say, while Kris was characteristically sweet but less than exciting. Which is why I've posted the Adam portions first. Dust off the shoulder pads, people, it's Glamberace time!

Another slow news day. I think it is going to be a very long summer for TWoP News. Is it wrong that I kind of miss the days of daily updates on whether Simon or Kara would leave American Idol, or reading stories about Paula? At least there was some Idol news today.

So apparently, the news that Twitter has signed up with a production company to make a competitive television show is not true. In truth, Twitter has made agreements with a whole bunch of production companies, and not just one, and there are probably more shows in the works that they don't even know about yet. While the stalker-sounding "putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities" format could be a winner, we came up with a few more Twitter-based game shows that we think would do gangbusters.

Slow news day today, but someone is trying to piss on Buffy's grave, so gather up the pitchforks and head to Hollywood, Whedonites.

It's been a busy week with all the networks announcing their fall lineups and the midseason programming they've got on tap. While some shows didn't get picked up (Samantha Who?, My Name Is Earl, According to Jim), others found new homes (like Medium, which is now smartly paired with Ghost Whisperer on CBS) and many others got bumped to new nights and times. It's a lot to take in, but here were the highlights of this fall preview week.
