Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, T.R.? T.R. Knight aka George on "Grey's Anatomy" will be standing at the altar alongside BFF Katherine Heigl when she weds musician Josh Kelley on December 23. And I'm sorry to disappoint you, but he will be wearing a tux, not a dress.

John Mayer and girlfriend Minka Kelly attended the New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat game last night with... Ellen Pompeo and fiance Christopher Ivery? That's an odd double date!
I know all of you are just giddy with anticipation to find out if your favorite shows are coming back next year.
NBC announced their 2007 TV Lineup this morning. The best show on television, "The Office", is back next year with a move to 9pm on Thursdays and five hour long episodes throughout the year. Expect more sexual tension between Jim and Pam. I also suspect the Dwangela (Dwight-Angela) relationship will be brought out into the public. "Comedy Night Done Right" will go like this: "My Name is Earl", 8pm; "30 Rock", 8:30pm; "The Office", 9pm; "Scrubs", 9:30pm; "ER", 10pm. "Scrubs" has narrowly avoided cancellation yet again, but is back with only 18 episodes next year. "ER" is flat-lining and could be moved from it's permanent Thursdays at 10pm spot. "Heroes" has spawned it's own spin-off with "Heroes: Origins" taking over during their hiatus. "Law & Order" will be back in January, but "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" will be moving to the USA Network. NBC is also making Friday night "Game Night" with lots of...wait for it...game shows and will round out the night with the audience-fav "Friday Night Lights", a prime example of how the viewers can convince a network to bring a show back. Not on the schedule... "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip". New shows will be "Bionic Woman", appealing to the "Heroes" demographic, and "Lipstick Jungle", appealing to the sexually curious twentysomething demographic.
As for ABC, they announced Addison Shepherd will officially be moving to LA this fall with her new show "Private Practice". Let's hope they get rid of the Elevator God stuff and stick to relationship drama...and perhaps some medical stuff, as well. ABC also said "Lost" won't be returning until January, but they will run it the same as this year with no repeats.
Some finales take place this week. Click here for a full schedule. I don't watch CBS except for Monday nights. Their comedy night isn't so bad, since nothing else comes on on Mondays. "How I Met Your Mother" has it's series finale tonight at 8pm. When this series first debuted, I thought it sucked. But it has only gotten better with time. The highlight of the show is womanizing Barney, played by Neil Patrick Harris, the only gay actor that can play a straight character and successfully make me forget that he is gay in real life (T.R. Knight aka George O'Malley might want to work on this). Also, CBS has finally pulled the plug (thank you!) and "The King of Queens" has it's final show EVER tonight. As you can tell, I am distraught over the loss of this show. We bid adieu forever to Lorelai and Rory on "Gilmore Girls" tomorrow night. The newest model to not really have a career post-win will be chosen Wednesday night on "America's Next Top Model". All of NBC's shows wrap up this Thursday night. How will Jim react to Pam's confession from last week? Tune in to "The Office" from 8-9pm to find out! "Ugly Betty" ends it's season this week, but I don't watch this so I have nothing funny to quip about here. "Grey's Anatomy" also airs it's season finale this week and I'm sure we'll be left with some emotionally devastating cliffhanger. For example... Will George transfer to another hospital to save his ridiculous marriage to Callie (not me) and leave Izzie in a pouty close-up freeze frame? We'll have to wait and find out this Thursday night!
I hope your some of your favorites got picked up again this year! Hopefully some new shows are on the horizon that don't involve bachelors, desperate woman, fame seekers, Tyra Banks, or Flava Flav (just kidding - I would watch any of his shows. Don't judge me.) Enjoy your season finales this week!
There isn't a lot of giant news today (or I just didn't have time to go through my nine thousand websites), so here is what I could gather up rather quickly. Hope everyone is having a great week! And is supporting Ross the Intern on "Celebrity Fit Club"!!
- Rosie needs to let the Donald Trump thing go. And since I'm guessing no one watched "The Apprentice" finale, here's who won.
- Jonathan Rhys Meyers of "The Tudors" has entered rehab for alcohol.
- Carrie Underwood is dating some dude from the Dallas Cowboys.
- I can hardly watch someone give birth on "Grey's Anatomy", much less Ricki Lake give birth in a bathtub. Sick!
- Oh, the shame! Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, and Forest Whitaker have signed on to do an episode of "American Idol". But fear not... It's for charity.

It has been one year since the birth of Suri Cruise (or if you believe the rumors, almost two years). No birthday party plans have been revealed yet. The world's youngest celebutante is sure to have a fabulous affair, most likely in Shreveport, LA, where mother Katie Holmes is currently filming her first movie since she signed her life away/met Tom Cruise. It is called Mad Money and costars Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah. Well, Happy Birthday, Suri! Don't choke on your silver spoon.
- Why even get out of bed in the morning? Without Lindsay Lohan by your side, that is. The egomaniac tells Allure, "When my friends and family are around me I feel like they're safe . . . When my friends have left me - I've just seen everything collapse. They're not safe without me." If you are such a great protector, then what does everyone do while you party all night, go to rehab, and basically only focus on one thing... Lindsay. Newsflash... The world doesn't revolve around you.
- Richard Gere is on fire in India. The people of India are outraged after he dipped Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and kissed her on the hand and cheek. Public displays of affection are not welcomed in India and his actions have been considered extremely offensive. People have been burning photos of Gere in protest.
- Paris Hilton goes to court on May 4 for her driving violations.
- Isaiah Washington, aka Dr. Burke on "Grey's Anatomy", will play a sexually abused Catholic priest in an upcoming movie, The Least of These.
- Adam McKay, father of nasty landlord Pearl, had an interview with People regarding the hilarious video that has been all over the place recently.
- Kristin Cavallari is selling herself for cash. The reality star has been pushing herself on clubs in LA. They pay her for appearances, hoping to bring in more customers. Now she is peddling her 21st birthday party. I guess you have to make the rent somehow.
- Don't ever wear this again...

- Harrison Ford, 64, and Calista Flockhart, 42, are supposedly tying the knot.
- Britney Spears may have fired her manager, Larry Rudolph, because he has dropped the ball regarding her career. He is the one to blame for the train wreck that was Brit's friendship with Paris Hilton.
- Turns out George isn't so happy at Seattle Grace.
- Lily Allen has cancelled her US Tour.
Paris Hilton was arrested last night after cops spotted her speeding, then discovered she was driving with a suspended license. She was also arrested on September 7, 2006 and pled no contest to a DUI. Since she has violated her probation, Paris could spend up to 90 days in jail. Or... Daddy Hilton will drop thousands of dollars to keep his daughter out of jail and buy her a brand new Bentley to keep her on the road. Bravo to money.
- Wolfgang Puck might have given celebrities Hepatitis A. He has been employing an infected server for fourteen parties this month, but only four parties remain in question. With 26-45 guests at each party, that is a lot of people he could have infected. But since most people in Hollywood share needles, I'm guessing they probably already had it.
- Kate Walsh, aka Addison on "Grey's Anatomy", will be getting her own spin-off from the show. The rest of the cast is pissed. Apparently, Ellen Pompeo, aka Meredith aka Whiny Bitch, feels she should have been consulted on the issue. Why? Because she is a star! Also, Katherine Heigl, aka Izzie, is upset because she thought she was the one that was going to get her own show. Is it just me, or is Katherine crying about something in the press every single week? So sorry you didn't get your own show, girl, but I think you can manage with your $20,000 an episode.
- Liev Schreiber confirmed on last night's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" that he and girlfriend Naomi Watts are expecting. He also confirmed that they will not be naming their child Liev, as it is too hard to pronounce. Thank you because I had to spell check that like six times.
