The Academy has officially announced that Eddie Murphy will host the 84th Oscars on February 26, 2012. As underwhelmed as we are by the choice, it could be worse; they could bring James Franco back. Shudder.

Ashton Kutcher, Julianna Margulies, Will Arnett, Zooey Deschanel, Amy Poehler and Sofia Vergara will be presenting at the Emmys. Four out of six ain't bad.

Because I really like Glee news: We'll be meeting Mike Chang's parents in Season 3. Family dance-off, anyone?

Gilmore Girls veteran Scott Cohen will guest star on Pan Am with a three-episode story arc, and, if history serves me correctly, will promptly disappear and only be referenced in the show years later.

Also in new shows today: You can watch The New Girl online right now, and Jay Mohr in Suburgatory in just a few weeks. I'm not going to tell you how to live your life.
