Courteney Cox must have been sad when Dirt was cancelled - her one chance to feel up a string of younger men for cash, gone. So Courteney Cox must be thanking her lucky stars that she's just signed up to star in a new ABC sitcom by the creator of Scrubs called Cougar Town, where she'll get to play a woman in her forties who basically has it off with a string of younger men a lot. Look, we know what you're thinking - first Dirt, then Cougar Town. Courteney Cox is a really big fan of these salaciously-named TV shows, isn't she? That's good news for us, because the last three scripts we've written have been entitled Giant Slag, Tits! and Sluttybum McHussyknickers. We're going to be rich, we tell you. Rich!
In a move almost as shocking and drastic as the time someone thought it'd be a real good idea to make something called The New Monkees, people have gone and announced a very intentional remake of the Partridge Family. Maybe it won't be so bad though. The entire old cast is returning to reprise their roles, and to once again live with their really old mother. Sure, it sounds improbable, but the scriptwriters are supposedly coming up with all sorts of ways to make the transition go off real smoothly - for instance Danny Bonaduce's character moves back home because he's hiding from a newly resurrected KGB, and David Cassidy's character retreats to his mother's residence after losing half his brain in an industrial mining accident. See, Hollywood has ways of making this kind of stuff work.

In a desperate attempt to look funnier than it actually is, How I Met Your Mother has signed up the most harrowing, ashen-faced, unquestionably tragic celebrity in the world right now for a cameo in an upcoming episode.
Yeah, it's Britney Spears. How did you guess?
If you're anything like us, you've spent every day since the last Will & Grace episode slamming your head into a pile of shattered glass and shouting the word 'why' into the sky a lot.
Because, let's face it, without Will & Grace on TV, there's nobody to give third-rate, painfully unfunny walk-on parts to Madonna any more.
However, all's not lost because the creators of Will & Grace - David Kohan and Max Mutchnick - are making a new sitcom pilot about a gay person who's friends with a straight person. We can only marvel at where Kohan and Mutchnick - a gay person and a straight person who are friends and had a successful long-running sitcom about a friendship between a gay person and a straight person - got this wickedly original new idea for a TV show from.
