Today's TWoP News: August 18, 2010

We see Steven Tyler, Kevin Spacey and a wedding in our future! Are they marrying each other? Is one of them marrying their mic stand, and the other officiating? Read on to find out!

Apparently, the creators of How I Met Your Mother are so tired of hearing us whine about meeting the mother ("God, what's with all this fixation on the mother? It's not like it's in the title or anything!") that they're kicking the next season off with a wedding. Is it Ted's wedding? Robin's wedding? Barney and Robin's wedding? The wedding of someone we don't know? We're betting on the last one.

It's official -- Steven Tyler can still sign his name. We weren't so sure, given his advanced age and the increasing number of handkerchiefs tied around things, but once some additional hankies were tied around his writing utensil, he was able to officially become the new American Idol judge. We can already hear the ill-advised Aerosmith covers being sung during the audition period.

In Crazytown news, Bachelorette runner-up Chris Lambton was offered the role of the next Bachelor star, but he shocked everybody by turning it down. Because who goes from "attention-starved camera-whore" to "recluse" in such a short period of time? Unless he... really loved Ali? Awww. That's so sweet sad.

HBO has ordered the Kevin Spacey series The Crux, in which the man who was Verbal Kint plays a charismatic cult leader. Is this the cult that still goes to see Kevin Spacey movies?

Remember that show where bosses pretended to be employees and saw how crummy their companies were? The show they can't really do again, ever, assuming the employees weren't already in-the-know before? Well, there's going to be a spin-off, in which two employees compete for a promotion in every episode. It would be a cool twist if one of the employees turned out to be the boss, and he simply gave himself the raise and made the other employee do more work for the same pay.

And he may not have gotten a nomination, but goddamn it, Joel McHale is going to hand somebody an Emmy. The Soup host and Community star will be a presenter at the Jimmy Fallon-hosted, NBC-aired event, along with Tina Fey, Rickey Gervais, LL Cool J, Matthew Perry, Keri Russell and the White Queen.
