• Top Chef: For those who felt defrauded by the lack of a new episode of Top Chef this week, we offer you this exciting (but profane, thanks to Mike Voltaggio) sneak peek of next week's episode, featuring that notorious layabout Padma Lakshmi.
Sammie in Omaha, Neb.: Is there any hope for Trauma? I'm loving the show! It's an entertaining, action-packed drama, plus Rabbit-Nancy is awesome! It's been staying almost even with Heroes in ratings, and the latest episode actually had more overall viewers.
Conan Apologizes, Antagonizes After Levi Johnston Twitter Shat Storm
Shat happens.
Most recently, on Wednesday night, when William Shatner gifted the viral video gods with yet another dramatic interpretation of awe-inspiring tweets, this time seemingly from the mind and keyboard of pro leg-spreader Levi Johnston.
Only they weren't.
"We'd been following Levi on Twitter and felt his gift for the written word needed to be shared with the world," Conan O'Brien explained. "Today I wake up very late, I sleep in, and I got some shocking news: Apparently the tweets that we read are counterfeit. They were written by a clever imposter posing as the witty Levi Johnston.
"And the real Levi is angry with us now."
So what better way to redress the balance than by inviting the beat poet extraordinaire back out to the stage to reinterpret some bona fide Johnston sound bites.
"The first thing Sarah said to me at the hotel was, You gotta cut your hair," the Shatman recited. "I told her I didn't want to. I had a mullet at the time.
"Guess what? I shot a bigass bear," he went on. "I just get naked, that's what I do."
On second thought, he might have been better off laying claim to the counterfeit quotes.

Kourtney Kardashian: I'm Sick of Gaining Weight

Khloé Kardashian isn't the only member of her family facing weighty issues.
Big sis Kourtney Kardashian, 30, admits she's nervous about gaining too many pounds during pregnancy. "I weigh myself every day," she told us at the Kardashian Charity Knock Out event in L.A. earlier this week. "I've gained 26 pounds since getting pregnant, except I gained three pounds since yesterday."
Being eight months pregnant and understandably bigger than usual hasn't stopped the E! reality starlet from conquering a red carpet in heels. But it sounds like Monday's event could be Kourt's last until after she gives birth...
Eric Dane and Kate Walsh Do the Next Grey's Anatomy-Private Practice Crossover
ABC/Eric McCandless
Inside sources and ABC confirm that producers of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice are planning another crossover event.
Anatomy star Chandra Wilson recently made a visit to the Santa Monica-set spinoff show Private Practice, and now Eric Dane and Kate Walsh are set to appear on both Shonda Rhimes shows on the same night.
So why are the old lovers reconnecting? Here's what we're hearing...

Grey's Anatomy: Tonight's Cristina-Jackson Hookup Is "Hot" and May Not Be Over Yet...
ABC/RANDY HOLMES
Sorry, Cristina-Owen fans, but tonight's scandalous sweeps episode of Grey's Anatomy is going to be a little rough on you.
As the Canadian promo for tonight's episode teases, Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) is going to be cheating on Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) with the "Hotness Monster" himself, Mercy Wester Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams). The hookup goes down against the backdrop of a huge pediatric case led by our girl-crush, Arizona Robbins (breakout star Jessica Capshaw).
We've interrogated both Jessica and Jesse exclusively to find what goes down tonight, and it sounds like it's exactly the kind of major relationship trouble you "Crowen" fans have been fearing...
The Real Housewives of Orange County Bitchfest Is Back!

Move over, Atlanta, Bravo's original leading ladies are back!
The Real Housewives of Orange County hotties return tonight, and the premiere gets so heated you'll be wondering why everyone made such a big fuss over those other two—you know, Miss "Tardy for the Party" Kim and her lifelong frenemy NeNe.
It's safe to say that season five will be more drama-filled than ever—and not just between the usual suspects. More marriages are falling apart, the newbies are clashing with the classics, and bitter feuds are boiling over.
We caught up with the O.C.'s kinda-but-not-really-housewife Gretchen Rossi last week, and she gave us the goods on what's up in season five...
Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Kym's In, Karina's Out

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his then fiancé Karina Smirnoff made their Broadway debut last summer in Burn the Floor.
But Chmerkovskiy says producers have only asked him to return, which he'll do right after Thanksgiving.
The hunky hoofer says there's no way he would have gone back if Smirnoff was part of the deal. The two called off their engagement just days before they danced together on the Emmys in September.
"I wouldn't do it if she was asked back," Chmerkovskiy told us last night at the Sony Cierge event at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Instead, another one of DWTS' pros will be joining him...
Law & Order Rips David Letterman's Sexcapades From the Headlines

What took so long?
After taking a shot at the Gosselins, the Law & Order brain trust has now set its sights on a certain late-night dog, plotting a ripped-from-the-headlines scenario based on David Letterman's personal life.
The casting call has just gone out for the episode, which per The Wrap will revolve around a "well-known celebrity talk-show host, married with children," who has engaged in "a series of short-lived affairs with some of the employees on the show and up until now has managed to keep them off the radar."
Until, that is, the host is approached by an email- and photo-equipped blackmailer who demands $3 million in hush money.
Sounds familiar enough. But it wouldn't be Law & Order without a twist, and this one's a doozy...
America's Next Top Model: Sundai Not Suicidal After Sendoff
Baldomero Fernandez/The CW
Whew, that's a relief.
We have to admit we were worried when Sundai—the girl who said becoming America's Next Top Model is "more important than living"—was eliminated last night, just shy of making it to the top four.
But the teenage former foster kid reassured us this morning that her perspective is definitely sunnier, even though she believes she shouldn't have been sent home...

Khloé Packs On Love Pounds After Marriage

Is Khloé Kardashian already too comfortable with new hubby and notorious sugar junkie Lamar Odom?
The 25-year-old E! reality starlet shed 25 pounds prior to tying the knot with her basketball beau Sept. 27. But since meeting Lamar, Khloé has found it tougher to stay focused.
"I stopped my QuickTrim diet for a little bit around the time I met Lamar," Khloé told us Tuesday at the Kardashian Charity Knock Out event at the Commerce Casino outside L.A. "I was so in love, and I was at my perfect weight, and I didn't want to do it anymore. Since marriage, I've gained about five pounds."
But Khloé assures us she's ready to get serious again...
