Fringe
I have become completely addicted to Fringe. It’s exactly like the X-Files, but with Pacey instead of David Duchovny (a huge minus in my book) and with more evil corporation conspiracy flamjam instead of evil government/aliens. Also, I love this quote from a terrific GQ interview with JJ Abrams and his co-writers:
Lindelof: You always said, when we were writing the Lost pilot, that on Felicity, you could have turned her into a spy at any point in the series, as long as, in the pilot, there was one moment where she answers a call and you hear someone talk to her, and she’s like, “The Queen is not ready to move off the board”—click. And you wouldn’t have to do anything for two seasons, but then you’d be like, “Oh—that’s what that was.” So we were like, “Let’s just drop as much of that kind of shit in the Lost pilot as possible.”
Conclusion: Fringe, thumbs up.

Inspiration for the sex robot sprang from the September 11, 2001 attacks, when planes crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York City, the Pentagon and an empty field in Pennsylvania.
“I had a friend who passed away in 9/11,” Mr Hines said.
“I promised myself I would create a program to store his personality, and that became the foundation for Roxxxy True Companion.”
DOLLHOUSE ALERT OMG
Breaking News
The White House has moved the State of the Union so it won’t conflict with the three-hour premiere of LOST.
“I don’t foresee a scenario in which millions of people who hope to finally get some conclusion with ‘Lost’ are preempted by the president,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters at Friday’s White House press briefing.
“You can quote a senior administration official,” he added.

She seriously is one of the only stars whose style is truly worth emulating.
Spotted
Chace Crawford, Blake Lively and Penn Badgely at Little Branch last night. Chace is very pretty in person. I’ve seen Serena & Dan around before and she’s gorgeous and tall, although my friend said he didn’t think she was as hot as she is on TV, which is ridiculous. Chace was wearing a grey sweater and a pullover hat, Dan was wearing jeans and a white vneck t-shirt (he has big puffy hair) and I didn’t see what Serena was wearing because the beautiful waitresses were blocking my gawking.
Good first sighting of 2010!
