• For their weepy reality show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, ABC casting execs are hunting for families with multiple children born with Down's Syndrome — or, even better, kids suffering from Progeria, aka "little old man's disease." Sad, but we always knew Ty Pennington was bad news. Never trust a dude in a hemp…
We were unable to get to Philadelphia in time, but it seems that there was a "grassroots" press conference held yesterday in support of incarcerated rapper Lil' Kim, who is serving time for lying on the stand regarding a shooting outside of NYC radio station Hot 97. Apparently her fans feel Kim's had a "lack of…
Thanks to yesterday's record-setting tech woes, we never had the chance to tell you how we really feel:
As if this evening's television schedule weren't compelling enough — The Office versus Bringing Down the House — we've now yet another program for the Thursday night DVR party.

On Monday, Rapper Lil' Kim will begin serving her year-long prison stint for lying under oath during a case involving gunfire exchanged between her associates and that of rival hip-hopista Foxy Brown. How, we wonder, will Kim spend her last days as a free woman?
· Liz Smith says we've unfairly locked her in the supply closet: "don't they know that Babs doesn't have a thing to do with me? I'm on her Z list. I'd be the last person she'd ever invite April 24!" [Liz Smith]
