Today's TWoP News: August 26, 2009 What is art? Why do we dream? What is death? I dunno, what do I look like? Rainn Wilson?

In an effort to make sure the crazy never truly leaves The View, Kate Gosselin will be filling in for Elizabeth Hasselbeck on September 14 and 15 while she's on maternity leave. Isn't it odd how the people who probably shouldn't be on television and the people who probably shouldn't procreate often end up doing both? Though, full disclosure: I've already set an Outlook reminder for both days. This is going to be epic.

Neil Patrick Harris has joined the rotating roster of American Idol Paula Abdul stand-ins, taking the Dallas auditions guest-judging gig. I was going to remark on what a considerable upgrade from Paula that is, but then I remembered that that's what I've thought about everybody they've announced so far. Because a box of hair is an upgrade from Paula.

Soul Train, the '70s precursor to MTV's The Grind, is being made into a movie. Of course it is.

Rainn Wilson is set to write and publish Soul Pancake, a novel that ponders existential philosophy while trying to overcome the insurmountable odds against it with its writer and title.

Heroes isn't the only show that can have a major character enter into a stupid ratings stunt of a homosexual encounter! Gossip Girl is making Chuck Bass kiss a boy this fall, apparently as part of some diabolical plan of Blair's called Operation: Make People Talk About Gossip Girl for Some Reason, Any Reason, the Teen Sex Ads Aren't Working Anymore Because Our Show is Remarkably Tame Once You Actually Watch It, As It Turns Out, Oh Wait! I've Got It! Fake Gays!

Not that it's a bad plan.
