Today (and late yesterday) has been a big day for news, with a few high-profile new series getting announced and some big-name casting. Which should all make the photos to the left fairly misleading.

What will be the next NBC workplace docu-comedy? The Restaurant? Education? Tollbooth Plaza? Whichever it is, we'll definitely give it a season to find itself.

These two guys are hosting the Oscars. In the words of fake Joy Behar, "So what? Who cares?"

Last night, the hotly dreaded Bridalplasty was unleashed unto the world, and, as expected, it was sadder and more disgusting than an Animal Hoarders episode. It's a show in which ladies with destitute self-esteem levels get into their bikini bottoms and let a plastic surgeon point out all the "flaws" that cover 90 percent of their bodies with a marker on television, and E! doesn't even bother to blur their nipples properly. That is how little E! cares for them! I mean really. At least try to conceal your exploitation of these women with some pixelation, for the love of God!

As a huge fan of Joshua Malina (and his Twitter, which is seriously the best) and Michael Ian Black, I was delighted to discover their collaborative web series Backwash, which launched last week. The show is a collection of seven-minute shorts and there are only 13 of them in the can, but it really is a nice little comedy diversion to break up the cat videos and local news mishaps you usually spend your day watching. Plus, it's star-studded!

Now that Jennifer Grey has won Dancing With the Stars, we're sure she'll be so excited to be back in the spotlight that she'll start taking every opportunity that comes along in order to stay famous. And we're guessing that ABC will be especially happy to throw some jobs her way given that she did help them dodge a bullet by beating Bristol Palin. Here's what we expect:

You know what? I know this sounds crazy, but I bet if Sarah Palin took over a network it would be number one forever.

Skating with the Stars tanks,Taylor Momsen gets suspended and Joss Whedon fumes.

So it's official: Warner Bros. is rebooting Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a film franchise and Joss Whedon will not be involved. While he was entertainingly glib about it, fans worldwide are losing their collective minds. We here at TWoP agree that Buffy is inextricably linked with Joss' voice and only wish that the studio was revisting one of Whedon's other past properties instead. Folks at Warner's: it's not too late to trade your Buffy reboot for one of the below. We promise we won't mind! (Much.)

This show tried to make me believe that it was the most dangerous competition on TV, but c'mon. I watch The Challenge on a regular basis and those people are 50 feet up in the air dangling on a string or something between buildings. Jonny Moseley used to host that program (back when it still had the Real World/Road Rules moniker), so I'm surprised he didn't call the Skating With the Stars producers out on that. Frankly, I think even Wipeout is more dangerous.
