  1. Hello again. It's been longer than expected, and some news has gotten too old to be worthwhile, but we still have some good stuff. And, just because it's too old, doesn't mean it isn't here.
  2. In news of the freakishly awesome, hot off the also awesome Billion dollar purchase of Instagram, which, sorry Instagram superfans, is really stupid, Facebook has suddenly launched... Facebook. Cheeky monkeys.
  3. In rather surprising news, Madonna has yet another record she can add to her list of accolades. It was a long time coming, but there you go.
  4. Alec Baldwin Tweeted, and Today denied stalking him. Well... someone was out there, it looked like Today... or something. Well, you know how it is with people from Today... or people who watch Today... or people who stalk Alec Baldwin.
  5. In possibly more interesting news that involves Twitter -
  6. And, there's good news for fans of Game of Thrones. Though an utterly unsurprising move, the show has already been renewed for third season. More interesting, the show held a whopping 97% of its viewers, despite the holiday.
  7. And, as Justified wraps up, with a somewhat anti-climactic season-closer, we may be in for a treat next season -
  8. But, in good and bad news, New Girl and Raising Hope have been renewed... and, so has that other irritating monstrosity that continues to thumb its nose at me by maintaining its status as a horrific, irritating monstrosity that was once really good.
  9. Speaking of horrific monstrosities, if there's one thing we've learned from this season of Celebrity Apprentice, it's that Lisa Lampanelli (who is apparently just the most awesome thing ever... though I'd never heard of her before the season started) can go off like a basket case better than almost anyone who has ever been on the show... and that's saying something.

    Well, she's had her run-ins with Dayana Mendoza (again, sorry, never heard of her), but it's gone too far now.
  10. And, in other news related to television and possibly pissing people off, David Tennant went and did an ad.
  11. The good news is that he's got something else to do.
  12. Apple and others are being sued by the government, basically for being jerks and charging too much for books.
