Today's TWoP News: November 23, 2009

I find today's TWoP News to be very... erotic. Too early to say "sexiest TWoP News ever"? Probably, right?

Apparently, Adam Lambert is ticked that ABC edited the part of his American Music Awards performance where he kissed another guy and pantomimed fellatio, calling it a double standard. Also edited from the broadcast was the part where he and another guy pantomimed performing the lewd sex act known as the Double Standard.

Oprah has figured out her next step, and it's erotica. Through a deal between her Harpo Films and HBO, she'll exec-produce a pilot for a series about a wife and mother who leaves her idyllic life to get kinky in the seamy underbelly of Los Angeles. She then documents her dalliances in anonymous letters written to David Duchovny.

From Oprah's ex-employee newsletter comes the news that her former personal chef and Top Chef Masters contestant Art Smith will have a series at TLC called Craving Comfort, where he travels America, investigating comfort foods that are also simple and popular, like fried chicken and apple pie. Then he'll make a more complicated variation on that dish, thereby taking it out of its comfort zone. Mission accomplished!

She's said it before, but now that she's effectively unemployed, she'll say it again: Eliza Dushku will happily audition to appear in Dr. Horrible 2. Be afraid.

When one of your co-workers starts writing about murders in the workplace, it may be time to find a new job, even if that guy is Al Roker.

Disney is translating the High School Musical franchise for China, and plans to film a local version of it for theatrical release. Supposedly, an early draft had all of the boys competing in kung fu, rather than playing basketball, because that's what Disney thinks people in China do all day.

Finally, they're not True Blood action figures, but they are True Blood mini-busts (figurines, if you're nasty), which is just close enough to True Blood action figures to be slightly creepy, given the sheer amount of sex and nudity in a given season. We still want them, of course.
