I had forgotten that The Hills tonight was Stephen night. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It was so funny because the whole episode was about how everyone around them wanted Stephen and Lauren to get together, and I kept saying, LIKE ME. I am such a loser. BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE. Too bad they're, you know, REAL and not fictional so that the writers could just write a happy ending for them. Oh well. But is that the only episode he's going to be in? Because that makes me sad.

Gossip Girl was good tonight, although.... The Nate/Vanessa thing seems so...random. Just taking the currently single guy and the single gal and mashing them together. I don't get it. And what, he registered her for the SAT without her knowing? Oy. It was fun to see Michelle Trachtenberg play a stone cold bitch -- she makes Blair look nice, damn. And poor Dan. Poor, sweet, adorable, eminently shaggable Dan.

So it's been confirmed that Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are pregnant. How cute is that? Super cute.

Promo pics for Bradley's Broadway play. Woo hoo!

Fox considering American Idol changes because of ratings slide. Um, hi, you're still the most popular show on television. Also, ratings are down because it's not a particularly exciting crop of finalists this year, not because there are any problems with Seacrest. STEP AWAY FROM THE SEACREST, PEOPLE. You know I love that idiot.

Speaking of idiots, Brian Dunkleman gave this great rant to "set the record straight" on Celebrity Fit Club, about how leaving AI was all his idea, and it's because "what they did to those kids was reprehensible," and he wasn't going to stand for it, etc. Whatever you need to tell yourself, dude. Of course, then he went on to admit it was the biggest mistake of his life, ha. Dr. Ian pointed out it was one or the other, that if he made the right moral decision, that's all that should matter. Oh, Dr. Ian. Dude was run out because he wasn't funny and nobody liked him. Also, he did have problems with how the kids were treated, and it showed on his face every second he was on air. I thought he was going to punch Simon out a couple of times. Better not to have the violence on national television, eh?

Really aggravating article in the NYT today about a Muslim principal in Brooklyn essentially getting run out of her school. I hate people. Especially since, dude, this is BROOKLYN. We have lots of Muslims here. I know this not only because a lot of women on my block wear veils, but also because I can actually hear the call to prayer being broadcast from the mosque if I get home at the right time. GET OVER IT.

On a brighter note, I had a shippy thought about pilots/piloticians today (there's a shock). So in this interview Jamie talks about how when Lee goes to say goodbye to Kara in the brig, he's pretty much convinced at that point that she's a Cylon. Which, I didn't really think about that when I was watching the scene, but of course it makes sense. And what strikes me so hard is how he didn't act any differently toward her than he normally does -- in fact, throughout the episode he's the only one who treats her like she's just still Kara. Which is huge for Lee, obviously, but gets to the romantic in me, too. Because in the end, it really doesn't matter to him either way. Contrast this with Sam, who wants Kara to be a Cylon SO BAD that he might as well have it written on his forehead. He doesn't know that they can continue together if she's not a Cylon. And, hey, I understand where he's coming from, seeing as how she might shoot him in the head and all. ;) But with Lee, it's just completely irrelevant. He'll treat her just the same as he always has. Gah, I love them. And I realize I'm not saying anything groundbreaking here, I just felt the need to verbalize it. ;)

Meanwhile, I think I forgot
