No need to beat around the bush. Stuff happened this week. Let’s get right to it.
- Jon & Kate Plus 9.8 million viewers for their season premiere; that’s better than all of the broadcast nets on the night.
- Susan Boyle, the Britain’s Got Talent sensation, earned a spot in the finale this Saturday, but may be having a nervous breakdown in the process.
- The first step in the new television landscape begins this week as Jay Leno says goodbye to The Tonight Show, with Conan O’Brien taking over Monday.
- There was lots of bitching this week about the voting results of American Idol, with AT&T admitting to helping Kris Allen fans “power vote” for free. In the end, it doesn’t really matter.
- Nigel Lythgoe got GLAAD mad by criticizing two male dancers who performed a samba on So You Think You Can Dance, saying words that some say were homophobic and others say were simply in bad taste.
- Rumors have started to swirl that a reimagining of Buffy the Vampire Slayer might make its way to the silver screen, without the involvement of creator Joss Whedon.
- Twitter is developing a television show that looks like it’s training the next great celebrity stalkers.
- This just in, Karen Gillan will be The Doctor’s companion when Matt Smith takes over the role of Doctor Who in 2010 from current Time Lord David Tennant. She’s really young, too (21)!

I guess I found a reason to start watching Dr. Who…
Nigel was right about the guys, it was just strange. They were bad, no one was the lead.
However “The same-sex ballroom guys did remind me of Blades of Glory. However, I’m not a fan of Brokeback ballroom”, is just in really poor taste.
Can somebody please tell what the hell is this Jon & Kate and why is EVERYBODY talking about them?
