Myleene Klass, the PopStars contestant turned I'm a Celebrity (Britain) runner-up, turned I'm a Celebrity (American) host has just made this show that much better.
It's being reported that Klass used some heavy duty insect repellent in her hotel room--so heavy duty in fact that it had a chemical reaction with the veneer on the bed posts and turned adhesive. The Brit was then found screaming for help by the hotel staff as she had glued herself to her bed.
Oh, the sweet, sweet laughter.

Next Real World house is in...
Washington, D.C.
The rumors are true. Filming will begin this summer in this beautiful house in our nation's capital. Will it be a politically charged season? Will castmates get drunk and make-out/fight/sleep/express racist thoughts towards each other? Only time will tell.
So You Think You Can Dance Top 20
In anticipation of tonight's episode of So You Think You Can Dance (Top 20 ya'll!), I offer you my favorites so far...
Caitlin Kinney
Included this video because it featured her sister Megan too. Hope she makes it next year, I'll miss seeing her dance.
Paris Torres
I will forgive that chin and the fact that she totally ripped her choreography off. It was just too good.
Kayla Radomski
I love a good poor girl makes good story.
Tony Bellissimo
He's so cute and he's actually really good at other styles. I'm a sucker for funny.
Brandon Bryant
Oh, no he did NOT just do that and look all masculine.
Evan Kasprzak
I have a crush.
So excited for tonight guys! Who do you like?

A Note on a The Death of Analog
If you own an analog television, do not have cable and have not gotten your converter box, you only have two days to do so. You are also an idiot.
Congress passed a law that all signals transmitted by television stations had to be digital. Why did they do this? Well, a lot of stations had already made the transition. Digital transmissions are sharper and more efficient. They also use less airwaves---this is the key point. Now, the guvment will tell you that these airwaves are being freed up for altruistic uses like emergency phone lines and saving burning puppies. And that's true, some of the freed up airwaves will be used for boyscout purposes. Most will be auctioned to the highest bidder in order to be used in newly developed technologies. I'm sure congressmen all over the place got kick-backs from television companies and somewhere some senator's son is impregnating an underage girl in a sports car purchased using television lobbyist bucks. It's a beautiful world we live in people.
But that law, necessary or not, was passed a looooooong time ago. I myself have viewed over 70,000 commercials featuring old people who look about ready to shit their Depends asking questions about analog conversion boxes and warning the rest of us to make the switch. You've had plenty of time.
I guess the most amazing thing that I'll come away from this knowing is that our legislative branch spent time on, passed a law allocating millions of dollars toward (each American household is entitled to a $40 coupon for an analog conversion box), and required the advancement of television technology. Whether or not the bill was necessary or even amoral pales in comparison to the realization that television has entwined itself with American Life so thoroughly that a change to the art form requires government mandate.
That's the big time, folks. I think T.V.'s here to stay.

Futurama!
There have been grumblings on the intertoobs for years of Futurama being picked up by Comedy Central which, up until this point, have resulted in only Fry-based movies but now comes news that CC has ordered 26 new episodes to be aired over two seasons! Drink to that Bender.

Will NOT Be At Comic Con 2009:
I know, what a tease! I promised I wouldn't say who, but there is at least one big show that won't be taking their annual trip to Comic Con this year.
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia ( Won't be doing a panel, but trying to arrange a signing on the floor )
The Mentalist :(
So, what does that mean for us??? Well, I bet we'll find out for sure whether or not Dominick Moynahan is going to be on Flash Forward. Perhaps, if we're lucky, we'll hear something about Alpha for next season. Lost is sure to release another viral video to tide us over until January (that hurts to type) and maybe my BB Jonathan Jackson will show up to promote Fringe. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!
