"Nip/Tuck" is back... And so is Pop Guru

Yo yo yo!!! After The Guru's very long hiatus, I'm back and ready to dish!

- The boys from McNamara/Troy are back and have taken up shop in Los Angeles! I can't wait to see what Season Five of "Nip/Tuck" has in store for us. It premieres tonight at 10pm on F/X. Expect lots of kooks and superficial desires. And sex. This is Christian Troy we are talking about. Guest stars this season: Oliver Platt, Bradley Cooper, and...sigh... Rosie O'Donnell.

- Britney Spears just lost custody of her kids again. Honestly, just put that trailer on wheels and head back down south. I've completely lost interest in her life, in the same way Britney has lost interest in her offspring.

- "The Hills" had their special Big Apple episode last night and I couldn't help but notice a moonlight dinner at Da Silvano was absent from the half-hour. Since I scooped them on their filming a couple months ago, I guess they felt the leak was too huge to include in the show.

- Speaking of "The Hills", there has been lots of talk of the show being fake or scripted. Um, duh. That's what makes it so delightful! Constantly wondering if Heidi and Spencer really did accidentally show up at the same restaurant as Lauren or if the producers set it up is all the fun of the show. Among the lies:

1) Heidi doesn't really work at Bolthouse Productions. WHAT?! Are you telling me that she didn't really get a promotion, too?
2) Audrina also doesn't work at Sony BMG.
3) When Lauren goes on the date with Gavin the model, she has on red nail polish. When she gets home, the polish disappears and her hair is magically curlier as she calls Brody.
4) And about that date with Gavin the model... Yeah, the producers got him to ask Lauren out. Here is his interview with Best Week Ever where he dishes all about his time on "The Hills".

- Pregnant Nicole Richie was seen smoking at two NYC restaurants, including Da Silvano. Damn it! I can't believe I missed that! But really, Nicole, bravo on the parenting. I see you've taken some lessons from Ms. Spears.

- Angelina Jolie and Cate Blanchett might be pregnant... Seeing as we haven't even gotten a confirmation from Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez yet, it may be a while until anything is confirmed on this new baby speculation.

- Despite reports that Jay Leno might stick around when his contract is up, Jeff Zucker, head of NBC, says Leno will hit the road and Conan O'Brien will take over "The Tonight Show" in 2009 as originally planned.

- Now Coolio is getting his own reality show? This is really getting out of hand. I totally forgot he even existed. That isn't to say I won't watch...

- I saw Dan in Real Life this week and I highly recommend it. The only thing wrong with this movie is the mere existence of Dane Cook, which is also what is wrong with the world.

- Apparently Fergie thinks she is Jem...
