Hey boys and girls----quick update for you.
First off---Mikey!! You’re favorite boy will be showing up on House next week! That’s right, Tom Lenk will make an appearance (read: short) on the Nov. 15 episode of House as a flight attendant.
Tonight there are 2 big events at 9! Hmmm. Decisions, decisions. Should I watch Lost live to see which cast member (I already know actually) dies? Is anyone not spoiled for this one? Last week the cover of US Weekly said “Who will die on Lost?” with a picture of the doomed castaway! Or, I could be a nice girlfriend and wait for Jay to get home? Which means I can watch Veronica Mars which guest stars the Whedon tonight. Plus I think Veronica & Duncan are getting close to a breakup! Praise the Lord! He is so flippin boring!!
There are rumors that Aquaman will score a spinoff! I’d be all for that as long as they don’t hire the dork that played aquaman on Smallville. That dude was horrible. Really. And Smallville was superfun again last week as Tom Wopat arrived as an ol buddy of Daddy Kent. So funny, he showed up in the General Lee (except it was blue). I think that is the reason I like Smallville. Love. Inside. Jokes. Makes me feel so smart.
You guys are killing me! Arrested Development was ridiculously funny this week. RIDICULOUS. Watch it!
Casting News!
When Jake in Progress returns this winter Charlotte Ross will be the new love interest! Oh Charlotte, I remember when you were an evil, evil girl on Days of Our Lives. Then you were a hooker with a heart of gold. Soaps are so funny.
Brit Report!
Next week Brit will release a cd of remixes. But she’s not promoting it, she’s too busy taking care of baby k-fed because her husband is out trying to promote his “music”. Holy crap I read some of his lyrics the other day and I nearly wet myself, I was laughing so hard. Message to KFED: Do not attempt to rap. You have zero musical ability. Stay home and keep your meal ticket happy.
Finally, I just finished reading “Life of Pi”. This is the story of Pi, a boy who is trapped on a lifeboat with a bengal tiger after the cargo ship he and his family were on sinks. It felt long to me. And sometimes it was hard to get through and then after everything that happened, the end made me mad. I can see how some people take it differently, but really, I was like, BAH!!!! Next I’m reading “A Million Little Pieces” which is about some dude’s stint in rehab. It is an Oprah book but I’m reading it for my work book club. To be honest, I’ve liked most of the Oprah books I’ve read. “She’s Come Undone” was awesome.
Anyhoo that’s all for me. Next week I’m off to Miami for the thrilling conclusion of the nascar season. And hopefully while I’ away I’ll be able to catch up on some of the movies that are coming out that I want to see (Rent, Potter)….
Later!!!

KT Update-TV Bits & Pieces
Hello boys and girls. It has been quite a while (nearly three weeks!) since the last KT Update. I’ve been really busy at work and super tired at home….but enough with the excuses…let’s get on with the scoop!
I have lots of tv bits!
Oh! Warm my lil’heart…it is a pseudo sunnydale reunion on Veronica Mars! In an upcoming episode Charisma Carpenter & Alyson Hannigan will have a “bitch off’ scene. Sweet! I can hardly wait.
Mark Paul Gosselar has signed on to Commander in Chief. Not that I watch this show, but really, how can you pass up Zack Morris scoop?
On the HBO front, Six Feet Under creater Alan Ball has signed a deal to bring the cable network a new show about vampires. Interesting. The show will be based on the novels of Charlaine Harris. I’m not too familiar with the work, but from what I understand the show is based in the south…so I guess we’ll see. Doesn't really matter acutally, Alan Ball is one of those few people who have earned my loyalty and so I will definitely be checking this one out.
Darren Aronofsky who is best known for directing Requiem for a Dream, will direct a May sweeps episode of Lost. Yikes. I’ve never seen Requiem and that’s because 90% of people who have, say that it is THE most disturbing film they’ve ever seen. Yikes!
Many of you have been forwarding me emails about the fate of Alias. Truth is, I’m only 5% worried. It is pretty well known that this is the last season, J.J. & Jennifer Garner are bonifide stars & I heard from a reliable source that ABC is not too disappointed in the show’s performance. What you say? How can this be? Well apparently ABC knew the show would get clobbered in the Thurs 8 timeslot and probably expected a drop after the whole Vaughn incident. Still, some point to ABC’s removal of Alias during sweeps (when Pirates of the Caribean will be on) and January (when Dancing with the Stars airs). Ehhh. I’m pretty sure that Alias was pulled during sweeps every year…nothing new there. But what about the ABC press release that touted every show’s ratings except Alias? Um, you got me there. But in all honesty, I’m enjoying the show this year. I’ve accepted the fact that the show will never regain the power of seasons 1 or 2. Now I just enjoy it for what it is. Plus Balthazaar Getty is so fun to look at…and SARKALICIOUS will return soon!
I’ve got some very upsetting Arrested Development news. No, no the show hasn’t been cancelled…but they are taking a brief hiatus. Jason Bateman had to go in for emergency throat surgery yesterday and will need a few weeks to recoup.
What’s coming up on your favorite shows?
Show of hands, how many of you know who is gonna kick the bucket on Lost?
I’ve also heard that a major character will bite it on Everwood and Smallville!
And….apparently Pres. Palmer plays a prominent role in the plot of 24 this year. My bet, he finally gets assassinated. That would bring Jack back from his Incredible Hulk impersonation.
I’ve never been a huge smallville fan. When it first premiered I checked it out for a few episodes & I kinda liked superteen, actually, truth be told, I really liked Lex. Ugh. So predictable. Put a bad boy in front of me and I’ll start salivating. Anyhoo….it has been a long, long time since I’ve watched Smallville and I decided to check it out this season because of the James Marsters factor. Hmmm. More James Marsters is more gooder.
Anyhoo, I’m pretty surprised how much I enjoy the show. Sure the acting and the storylines are sometimes little sketchy but there are so many inside jokes. I love it. Take last week for example. The episode was about a sorority of vampires. Lana joins up gets bit goes all vampy. It was a campy, fun episode (although the special effects were wretched…sidenote: how does THIS show have wretched special effects?) but the best part was a) James Marsters telling Clark “There’s no such thing as vampires” and b) the head sorority chic was a blond name buffy sanders. Haha. And at the end lana slayed buffy the vampire.
As for the biggest disappointment of the fall season so far….Desperate Housewives. I still tune in but I really don’t care about any of these people and I.zzzzz.zzzzzzzzz.zzzzzzzz.zz oops! Dozed off there for a hot second. Sorry, what was I saying?
Before I go I just want to take a second to chime in on the whole Nick & Jessica thing. Two words. So Over.
I’ll be back after sweeps to sum up everything and let you know my thoughts. I’m sure we’ll want to have a Lost discussion. And plus…we are dangerously close to Jack Bauer Power Hour!!!!
