I’m looking forward to her new album. I don’t think she’ll ever make anything as good as Songs In A Minor, but it should be a nice Fall treat.

Might this be for Xtina’s Back to Basics tour DVD?

Emmy winner and Will & Grace star Eric McCormack has been cast in Truth In Advertising, a drama on TNT.

“Truth” centers on a powerful agency in contemporary Chicago. McCormack will play Mason McGuire, an exec who is better at the corporate side of the biz but is unexpectedly promoted to creative director.

The show aims to create “commercials-within-the-show” that would fit with the narrative but also offer opportunities for a new kind of product placement

McCormack is apparently also slated to star in A&E’s miniseries remake of The Andromeda Strain.

I feel sorry for the stars of Will & Grace. Everyone but Debra Messing’s going to fade into oblivion and end up ODing during an episode of the Surreal Life 10 years from now. Oh how the mighty fall.

Who would’ve thought a bunch of guys famous for inflicting pain on themselves and each other would not only become millionaires but gay icons? When Johnny Knoxville talked to Out magazine last year, he told them men come up to him and bars and grab his crotch. But what can you expect when your show is as gay as Jackass is?

Knoxville also said —“they got some notes from above saying, ‘OK, guys, this is almost too gay. Can you tone down the gayness?’ And so they tried to make it not as gay, but then it just got gayer,” Knoxville says. “So it seems we are no longer driving the ship.”

The third movie in the 164 million dollar franchise starts filming in January–which Steve-O confirmed on a recent appearance on the Howard Stern show.

“I was told to rest up for ‘Jackass 3′ which will start shooting in January,” he said

The first movie was made for 5 million dollars and grossed 80 million, and the second movie was made for 11.5 million and grossed 85. A Jackass video game is in the works to be released in the not too distant future.

Here’s the new batch of bitchy designers for the upcoming season of Project Runway. Will anyone ever live up to my beloved Austin from season one? Doubt it.

Regardless, can’t wait! New season premiere’s November 14th on Bravo.

According to OK Magazine, American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee has gotten engaged to her longtime boyfriend Nick Cokas, 42.

Her longtime boyfriend, Nick Cokas, proposed to the 23-year-old recently, but friends insist it wasn’t a big surprise. An insider tells American magazine OK!, “They’ve been talking about it (marriage) for some time.”

Best of luck to Katharine and Nick! I’ll be waiting impatiently for I Know What Boys Like and her new album–which according to her is going to be John Mayer-esque.

I’ve been way too busy this week to see anything on TV (I haven’t even been able to watchy my daily soaps or Oprah episodes ) but I’m totally watching these two shows on my Tivo this weekend.

Looks like even though the reviews for Private Practice were absolutely horrid, it still managed to do quite well for a new show and even beat the more acclaimed NBC drama Bionic Woman in the ratings race.

“Private Practice” debuted with a 9.7/15 for ABC at 9 p.m., making it the most-watched series premiere thus far this season. The “Bionic Woman” premiere earned an 8.4/13 and was also the night’s top show among adults 18-49.

“Criminal Minds” began its third season with an 8.2/13 for CBS. FOX’s “Kitchen Nightmares” was fourth. “Gossip Girl” fell off some from last week’s premiere, drawing a 1.8/3 for The CW

Hopefully the show isn’t as bad everyone says it is. I love me some Kate Walsh.

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton teaming up again! Hopefully this’ll be better than that horrid movie The Corpse Bride.

Looks sexy! I wonder if it smells as good as she looks.

The ladies of Sex and the City are back in Manhattan and back in the habit, and PopSugar has some early pictures that have surfaces from the shotting of the movie. Jennifer Hudson is also in the movie–playing Carrie’s new assistant. Hope it turns out good!

F/X has ordered another pilot from Nip/Tuck creator and screenwriter of Running With Scissors, Ryan Murphy, called Queen B. It’s a workplace drama, and apparently a number of top actresses over 40 have shown interest.

Paramount has set a June 2009 release date for the sequel to the massive hit Transformers, starring one of my favorite leading men, Shia LaBeouf. It’s unclear who will return for the sequel, but no Shia, no care.

Bill O’Reilly makes stupid comments about being surprised black people can act like civilized human beings. And what do you know? People are upset. He and Ann Coulter need to just get in the sack and make it official.

The lovely Miss Marcia Cross was spotted with her husband and her babies out shopping recently, and also talked about how she pretty much lives in her Desperate Housewives trailer.

For the first time Oscar winner Helen Hunt has directed a feature film, and naturally casted herself in the lead role. The film is called Then She Found Me, and it recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart are starring together in a new movie called Traveling in which Eckhart plays a widower who writes a book about his grief and becomes a self-help guru–when Aniston enters his life and reminds him of the past.

Rachel McAdams is starring alongside Oscar winner Helen Mirren, Robin Wright Penn, Brad Pitt, and Edward Norton in a feature film adaptation of a BBC miniseries called State of Play.
