tv news

new dancing with the stars champ brooke burke has gotten a little tv greedy.  the former e! personality wants her own sitcom as a follow up to her dancing success.  while sitcoms are good working hours for moms, do we really want to see another model-turned-actress?

could robyn be the mother on how i met your mother? actress cobie smulders is pregnant with her first child.  that means both the leading ladies of the cbs comedy are pregnant, as allison hannigan recently announced her own pregnancy. no word on whether or not the pregnancies will be written in, but the looks of this prospective are negative -  allison was recently shown in a flowy dress when being interviewed about jamie lynn-sigler's guest starring role.  as well, both of the star's pregnancies will mainly be in the hiatus period of the season. 

heidi and spencer's marriage is not legal.  the hill's resident villian couple has confirmed that their mexican nuptials are not legally binding in the us, but mtv's cameras just happened to be tagging along on the mexican vacation where the elopement took place.  whether or not the couple make their new union legal is yet to be seen, but lets hope the two decide against it. 

wtf oprah?

oprah winfrey left her latest audience hanging as she replaced her usual favorite things with a "how to have a thrifty holiday season" special.  while this idea is all well and good, people want to see the ridiculous things oprah finds to give away (anyone remember those air-lifted $50 

cupcakes from a few years ago?).  while her excuse was that is the lavish special was not appropriate in the current economy, having the special would have made the current situation better.  people like stability and the expected; oprah's change just makes times seem worse.  oprah's one gift to her audience was a gift about a man and his dog; she told everyone to give a copy to their friends with dogs, writing an inscription for both the dog and owner.  if i were to give a copy, the inscription would read "here's a book for you and your bitch, bitch," given the dog is a girl, of course.

what's hollywood's new star to do?

twilight star kristin stewart was snapped smoking something from a suspicious pipe just days after her new film became number 1 at the box office.  this and other pics can be found over at tmz.  kristin recently revealed that she didn't even want to read for the role of bella in what very may well be her breakout role; rather, she was pushed by everyone around her - agents, publicists, and even family.  it looks like the push has actually paid off, however it is unsure whether or not kristin is happy with her newly found fame. smoke on, kristin, smoke on...
