Entertainment Weekly is playing some unabashed favorites by putting Adam Lambert by himself on this week's cover (with the journalist's name attributed to the story right on the cover, so really they're not, but you know, gray area city), adorned with beautiful pink stars and a leather jacket. If it were Gokey I'd be bitching, but it's Adam so I'm not. Two can play at this Idol partisanship, EW cover!

As I reported a couple days ago, Paula Abdul recently told the Ladies Home Journal, of all outlets, that she entered rehab last fall for an addiction to pain killers, which was cool of her to admit, I guess, but everybody already knew she had a pill problem, of course. But now she's saying they made that up, because of course she would. I'm not saying there's no chance that they did, I'm just saying Paula Abdul barely seems to be aware that she's even speaking most of the time, so the possibility that she admitted a few things and it slipped her mind isn't wildly implausible. I am officially Team Ladies Home Journal on this one, which is something I never thought I'd say.

Aisha Tyler is filming a talk show pilot for ABC, likely for an afternoon timeslot rather than a late night one. Aisha's a funny girl, but we need another talk show like a hole in the head. But on the other hand, daytime talk has no bearing on my life because I work during the day, so that's fine if she wants one and can do a good show. I don't really have much of an opinion on this, is what I'm saying.

According to Nikki Finke, Brittany Snow's Gossip Girl spinoff may have already been killed by the CW, even though the "pilot" won't air until next week. Obviously, that news is a little suspect, so E! Online made a few calls and discovered that that may not be true, it's just that there are only two slots for a new show next season, and pre-GG (what I've been calling it until it gets a name) has to compete against Mischa Barton's The Beautiful Life and that vampire show Vampire Diaries for one of those slots. Personally, I hope the slots go to Vampire Diaries and pre-GG, pretty much solely because I love Brittany Snow, and think Mischa Barton is in no state of health to be working full-time series hours.

Bestill my arteries, there's a three-and-a-half minute True Blood Season 2 behind the scenes video floating around! Meet all the new characters and make googly eyes at Michelle Forbes's pretty new hair (it's OK -- I did it!).

ABC has ordered a new series for next fall, a mockumentary sitcom (ugh, another one of those?) called Modern Family that explores how the modern family has changed in recent decades. One family is a traditional dad-works-mom-stays-at-home family, one family consists of a gay (male) couple who has adopted an Asian baby, and the third is an older man married to a younger trophy wife and their three kids. Sounds a little try-hardy, but even if it's not -- if it's on ABC and it's good, ain't nobody gonna watch it and it's going to be canceled. I doubt I'm even going to bother.
