There's some good news and some bad news for the highly complicated ladies of Showtime.
Pour one out for United States of Tara, which Showtime cancelled today. They did pick up Nurse Jackie for a fourth season, so I guess...don't pour one out for Nurse Jackie.
Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga delivered the highest ratings for an SNL finale in seven years this Saturday. This means people enjoy seeing an ex-N'Syncer sing about his chest hair or seeing Lady Gaga wear spandex and a fake baby bump. And I tip my hat to those people! They can stomach what many can't.
Ellen Pompeo responded to Shonda Rhimes' comments about her Grey's Anatomy contract expiring, saying "No one has asked us to come back after Season 8, so I couldn't presume that I'm coming back...if I haven't been invited." Ah, the classic actor-on-their-contract comment, managing to be both passive-aggressive and aggressive-passive at the same time.
Ashton Kutcher's Two and a Half Men deal is only for one year. This is partially because CBS has only licensed the show for one more year, but I like to think it's because Ashton Kutcher is secretly just as much of a loose cannon as Charlie Sheen was. He did go from playing Kelso on That 70s Show to being a Kabbalah-practicing, Demi Moore-dating, Justin Timberlake-punking man-boy in an incredibly short amount of time, after all.
J. Lo's designated punching bag Haley Reinhart is already recording her first single. Nigel Lythgoe is counting his money and doing his best Mr. Burns laugh.
In new casting shake-ups, Lindsay Sloane joined the cast of Weeds as a love interest for Justin Kirk's Andy, and Misha Collins won't be a series regular on Supernatural's seventh season. You'll remember Lindsay Sloane as the cheer-plagiarizing captain of the Toros in the genius that was Bring it On, so no matter what she does on Weeds, she's still. Big. Red.
The trailer for the Conan O'Brien post-Tonight Show documentary Can't Stop was released this weekend. It's surprisingly uncomfortable to watch, and he kind of looks like a train wreck throughout. Maybe it's the Unabomber beard? Or maybe it's the way he's still acting like a sixth-grade girl about this whole thing. A sixth-grade girl that just got banned from the popular girls' lunch table.

Lindsay Sloane was also Marcy on "Grosse Pointe".
I miss "Grosse Pointe". :(
i guess im one of "those people" because other than the part of the musical number where lady gaga appeared to have discharged some sort of vaginal fluid all over & the last sketch w/ jimmy fallon (gibb bros), i thought SNL was pretty damn good. almost as good as the betty white episode & FAR better than any other episode from this season.
