…and this Ricky Gervais clip from the UK version of Comic Relief is itching to provide it. Yes, it’s eight and a half minutes long, but so worth it for the cameos.
C’mon, take a peek. You’ve got time. It’s Monday: You’ve got all week to get caught up.

Two months prior to the announcement of its official fall lineup, ABC has announced the renewal of ten primetime series — most of them thriving veterans such as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Lost,” and “Desperate Housewives.” Also making the cut were freshman hit “Ugly Betty” and the late-blooming “Brothers and Sisters,” as well as the Anne Heche dramedy “Men in Trees.”
Reality programs back for another year include “Dancing with the Stars,” “The Bachelor,” and “Extreme Home Makeover.” Late-night talker “Jimmy Kimmel Live” will return as well.
And, in a pleasant surprise given the show’s relative lack of momentum to date, “Boston Legal” will return next season as well.
To which we say: Denny Crane!
All glory to elite Scientologist Tom Cruise
You can say many things about Tom Cruise (and Lord knows we already have)…but you can’t say he’s not persistent.
According to the latest issue of Us Weekly, Cruise’s latest fixation concerns convincing future LA transplants David and Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham to convert to Scientology:
“Victoria is sick and tired of Tom being on her back about Scientology,” says the source. “Victoria is an old-fashioned British woman who believes in God. She finds it quite rude that Tom is bugging her so much. Not too long ago, Tom left 18 messages in one hour to get them to join the church.”
18 messages. In one hour. That works out to one message every three minutes and twenty seconds, in case you were curious. So apparently the other thing we can definitively say about Tom Cruise is that he’s not the least bit worried about looking, say, pushy…or desperate…or just plain batshit crazy.
May his confidence be an inspiration to us all. Or something.
To the legions of fans who are kept up nights wondering what ever happened to those nice girls who worked at that brewery in Milwaukee, rest easy: TV Land has announced its intention to shoot a “loosely scripted” pilot featuring original “Laverne & Shirley” stars Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams living together in Marshall’s home.
Since the project is just at the pilot stage, no word has been received yet on whether the two old friends will be barged in on periodically by wacky neighbors Leonard “Lenny” Kosnowski (Michael McKean) and Andrew “Squiggy” Squiggmann (David L. Lander). Also unknown is whether Penny will be required to sew large cursive “P’s” onto every outfit she owns, in order to mirror her character Laverne’s original fashion quirk.
The most important question remaining to be answered, however, is this: What of Carmine “the Big Ragu” Ragusa (Eddie Mekka)?
Former “That 70’s Show” star Wilmer Valderrama, reputed first love of Lindsay Lohan, reportedly showed up at 2:30AM at a karaoke party Lindsay was attending in New York, and attempted to woo her back by serenading her with a Matchbox 20 tune.
Lohan did not respond positively to these overtures from the man who broke her heart just a few short years ago…though she was overheard mentioning to a friend that Fez might have had slightly better odds if he had chosen a song by a band that didn’t suck.
