Casting news abounds today, from BAG replacements to new ghost-busters to heavyweight hostesses. Also, an Idol gets a record deal, and it's not Gokey. Hooray!!!

With the lull in new shows and exciting TV drama this summer, many shows are getting renewed and making an appearance with a new season come fall. Find out which shows will make their way back to the screen -- even Futurama, a show once cancelled, is also making a comeback.

I had high hopes for this series, as I've grown to really love particularly the New York and OC installments (I'm getting there with Atlanta. Maybe this season I'll develop a proper obsession), but so far I pretty much hate this show. I know we're only five episodes in, but these five episodes have offered far less compelling material than the first five episodes of each of the other franchise's debut seasons. I'm definitely excited about watching them threaten to pummel each other next Tuesday, but man, what a letdown the first five episodes of this show have been. I've tried to explore the roots of the problem.

Remakes are all the rage in the news today with talks of a new Saturday Night Fever (take one guess at who's the prime candidate for a new Tony Manero) and a film adaptation of the 1980s series The A-Team. Can't anyone think of new material these days? Even TBS is considering taking up My Name Is Earl. Read on -- it's not all that bad.

Until recently, the mere mention of Sanjaya gave me bad flashbacks of him brutalizing "You Really Got Me" and his ridiculous hairdon'ts. I was dreading seeing him on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here and only mildly looking forward to torturing him by voting him into gross challenges in order to get payback for the way he abused my eardrums all those times on American Idol. So when he walked off the plane on 'I'm a Celebrity' with his hair in the stupid mohawk I sighed and braced myself for the worst. However... that hasn't been the case at all. In fact, he's the most awesome person on that show. Somehow, he morphed from annoying teen to king of the jungle in just a few short years. Here are the reasons I'm loving him now.

Up until last night, I was kind of ambivalent about Jimmy Fallon's quest to reunite the (fellow NBC property) Saved By the Bell cast. I loved the show when I was little like everybody did, but considering that most of the cast is either currently on television (Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar), or has been in recent memory (Elizabeth Berkley hosted that piece of crap Step It Up and Dance last year, and Screech was on Celebrity Fit Club), or was at least on the internet in some scandalous capacity (Screech in a sex tape, Mr. Belding as a frequent drunk, sweaty mess), it didn't seem all that necessary. Aside from Lisa Turtle, it's not like I was missing them. Nostalgia is a nice thing, but I don't need to see these people standing around together on the Late Night stage with The Roots playing their theme song to satisfy that. That's what re-runs are for!

Today is a pretty slow news day. But with all the Speidi drama, the speculation over whether Charlie will be returning to Lost, and who is TV's Ultimate Cougar's next prey ... I'm sure you'll be entertained.

After five seasons of pitting unknown chefs against each other to see who can make the fewest stupid cooking mistakes, Top Chef is mixing things up and pitting world renowned chefs against each other! Hopefully, there will be a lot fewer stupid mistakes, since by now these people have probably made them all, and we can get down to seeing who is actually a better chef. But we have one problem. Are any of these chefs better than Lafayette from True Blood? Or Ned from Pushing Daisies? We compiled a list of our favorite fictional chefs to see how each would do under the pressures of the Top Chef competition.

It's Tony Awards weekend, and this year's host is the mother of all upgrades from last year's Whoopi Goldberg: Neil Patrick Harris! He has a perfect angel voice and he's everybody's favorite. Perfect. And while I didn't really love any of this year's shows, I'll still be watching because of NPH -- and the Liza performance we've been promised, of course. I'm even having the boys over for Skinny 'n Sweets (vodka, diet coke, and butterscotch schnapps, which is as disgusting as it sounds, but hey, 9 to 5) to celebrate, I'm so excited! Anyway, enough about me. Neil Patrick Harris did a li'l promotional conference call for the show, and us media types even snuck in some questions about HIMYM, Dr. Horrible and Harold & Kumar. Highlights below. Enjoy!

It's a rainy day in New York City, Dave Matthews is playing outside my window on the Today Show, and Oprah is no longer Forbes' "Most Powerful Celebrity." This day just keeps getting worse and worse.
