Jenna Fischer is hot. We know it. Jim knows it. Roy knew it. And now, apparently Us Weekly knows it, 'cause the mag honored her last night in Hollywood as one of the chosen few for its Hot List. And even better for you Office fans, she gave us some juicy little insight on when Pam's gonna pop and what's up with the "new Jim and Pam."

Also there? Joel McHale and the Glee star who may or may not be his distant cousin.

[Not there? The lovely Eliza Dushku, who left the scene after security wouldn't let her inside the party without the appropriate wristband. Way to kick her when she's down from Dollhouse's cancellation, Us Weekly!]

So what did we learn from Jenna, Joel and Joel's cousin? For starters, that "Jam" baby is going to be here soon?

Time for another ab workout, my friends!

Modern Family airs tonight on ABC in what just might be the best episode yet...Did someone say Ed Norton and Elizabeth Banks? Oh yes they did.

And newsflash: We just got off the horn with Eric Stonestreet, who plays Cameron, and it sounds as if this show is just getting funnier.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the evidence:

Ladies and gentlemen (and gentlemen who sleep with two ladies), Hilary Duff has left the building!

That's what I'm hearing from Gossip Girl sources, that the Duffster (Olivia) is no longer a part of the CW series and there are no plans for her to return this season.

Will she be missed? The jury's still out.

So now that things have gotten all messy on Gossip Girl thanks to that two-week-long threesome (talk about a workout!), what will happen next?

Are Nate and Serena really on?

Who's gonna be smooching Dan?

And what does Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) have to dish about filming the threesome with Hilary and Penn Badgley?

That's gonna leave a mark.

In what can only be called the most jaw-dropping elimination so far this season on Dancing With the Stars, Joanna Krupa (who Carrie Ann Inaba thought might win) was sent packing last night.

We were backstage after the show and can tell you Joanna was feeling the sting.

"Being so close, it sucks not being able to go to the finals," Joanna tells us. "But I guess it is what it is."

Still, part of her saw it coming. "It was a hard competition and I knew that tonight anything could happen, so I was prepared for it."

Oh, and you won't believe who she and partner Derek Hough think may win…

Ain't no party like a Melrose party!

And according to my sources, that is precisely what we'll get a little later this season on the CW's Melrose Place, as not one, not two, not three but four alums from the original series will convene on the famous complex to party down.

Clearly, Heather Locklear is one of them, as she made her triumphant and bitchtastic return tonight. (Can that girl still rock a miniskirt or what?) And according to sources, Locklear will appear in all but one of the remaining episodes of Melrose's first season (there are 18 total).

I'm told Heather will be joined by three other Melrose Place alums in the 16th episode...

Chris Gorham just twittered an hour ago that he's back on the set of Ugly Betty and that "Ana Ortiz's baby is beautiful."

This makes us worry.

Not because of the baby comment (we've seen Ana's Paloma; she's a living angel!), but because of what sources have been spilling about Betty's fate: That the end may be near and Betty's ghosts of suitors past are circling.

Although Gorham himself has clarified via Twitter, "I'm not back on Ugly Betty. Just dropped by to visit my friends," according to sources, he may be very soon...

Inside sources tell me that ABC has been working on ways to try to save Ugly Betty (including the possibility of moving it to Wednesdays, as previously reported); however, if ratings don't improve by mid spring, it's possible that Betty will be canceled in May.

To that end, one well-placed Betty mole tells me: "The writers have accepted that this season may be the last and are brainstorming endings now, just in case. The big question is: Who will Betty end up with? The writers room is deeply divided."

I'm told it's down to three contenders, and they are...

Cristina hates her. With a passion. And so far, it seems that some of you fans do too.

Ever since Kim Raver (whom Cristina named "Desert Storm Barbie") was introduced on Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, our inbox has overflowed with messages from fans wanting to know what's next for their favorite couple, Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd), now that Kim's character, Dr. Teddy Altman, is in the mix.

Well, we just talked to Kevin himself, and he admits that he, too, was concerned at first about the triangle, but he warmed up to it, and tells you fans why you might want to keep an open mind.

Oh, and if you want to know what's next for Glee (Christmas song!), Vampire Diaries (dish from Kevin Williamson himself) or Desperate Housewives (who won't die?), we have that too.

It's all in our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Alex in Rhode Island: Please don't tell me Kim Raver is sticking around long on Grey's Anatomy!

Kate Gosselin wishes she could have put a doggy shock collar on Jon to keep him at home.

OK, she's half-kidding (we think), but this is just one of the things we'll learn tonight, as TLC brings back Jon & Kate Plus 8 with two back-to-back episodes.

In the first, life seems sorta kinda normal as Kate takes the kids to gymnastics class and Jon takes them to a baseball game. In the second, Kate shows us never-before-seen footage from the previous season, including the aforementioned dog-collar jab, Kate accusing Jon of some bad parenting (see clip above) and the celebration of the Gosselin's 10th wedding anniversary.

According to TLC: "Viewers get the chance to see what wound up on the cutting room floor." [Editor's note: That is, their marriage.]

Sorry, but we're just starting to find this show (which we loved before all the real-life drama) too sad to stomach.

Paging Taylor Swift: Mystic Falls is calling you!

Or more precisely, Kevin Williamson. The man behind the CW's addictive new series Vampire Diaries reveals that he has approached Taylor to guest star on the series as a...wait for it...vampire. What would her vampalicious secret boyfriend say?

Though no deal has been struck, and Kevin fears she's "too big for Vampire Diaries now," the writer-producer is still hoping something will work out.

"I'm desperate to have [Swift] come play a vampire," Williamson says. "Wouldn't she make an amazing Kirsten Dunst circa Interview With the Vampire type? Oh my god, I cannot tell you how hard I'm trying to get her—I would kill to have her on the show!"

Turns out it would take a lot less than murder to get another certain pretty face who's surprisingly still tied to the show...

America's Next Top Model: Where would we be without Miss J's ridiculous puffy sleeves at the ANTM judging table? Well, according to the New York Daily News, we are about to find out. Word is, Tyra's longtime frenemy Kimora Lee Simmons is set to return to the series to claim a judging spot next season. So is Vogue editor at large André Leon Talley. According to the report, Miss J will stay on as a runway coach.

Wipeout: Sad news. According to TheWrap, a contestant died last week after suffering a stroke while performing a stunt on ABC's Wipeout. He was only 33.

Scrubs: Tomorrow is Zach Braff's last day on set, from what we hear. New Scrubs cast photos are here.

Eastwick: The show's boss, Maggie Friedman, is "furious, too," and none too thrilled that ABC pulled the plug so abruptly, leaving no time for closure, according to an EW interview.

Morales in Denver: I'm confused after seeing last night's Glee. What was it that was upsetting to the disabled community? I thought the episode was amazing and empowering in every way.

UPDATE: Joss Whedon has spoken. "I feel [Dollhouse] is getting better pretty much every week," he just wrote to his fans on Whedonesque.com. "And I think you'll agree in the coming months. I'm grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again." Joss also promised, "By the time the last episode airs, you'll know what my next project is."

Dollhouse is done. We knew this was coming—Dollhouse creator Joss Whedon recently posted on fansite Whedonesque.com that the writers were "not exactly saving all the good stuff for 14-22," but still. 'Tis sad.

Insiders confirm to us that Fox has officially closed the book on the Friday-night sci-fi series. (Series producer and Joss Whedon sister-in-law Maurissa Tancharoen, who also guest stars in an upcoming episode as an active named Kilo, tweeted confirmation as well, saying, "Yes. Cancelled. Sad but true.")

We're hearing that episode 13 serves as a season finale "in a significant way and gives Joss enough time to wrap up the stories."

The show is currently on hiatus for November sweeps (seeing as how its negligible ratings would more than likely drag down Fox's average), but is set to return beginning Dec. 4 with double-booked Fridays.

So is there any chance the series could go to another network?

He's a sensitive soul.

That's what we can tell you after meeting up with Aaron Carter backstage at Dancing With the Stars last night, after he got the heave-ho.

Truth told, the poor guy was almost inconsolable and choked up during the interview. "Of course it's sad," he told us after the show. "You know how it is. But I'm glad we made it this far."

"It just feels empty now," his partner, Karina Smirnoff, added. "Like we were taken away."

On the flip side, another contestant was bouncing off the walls with excitement that it was Aaron who was going home. Who was it?
