If you’ve been paying attention all season, you know who it is. If you haven’t been paying attention to anything and are acting offended at nothing, you might be Kelly Bensimon. Cheers!

Jay Leno Logs His Worst Tonight Show Ratings Since ’93

This is either a sign that late night television is cannibalizing itself , less people are watching live TV or America just doesn’t think Jay Leno is as funny as he used to be — or all three! The Tonight Show clocked its lowest ratings this past quarter since 1993, when David Letterman premiered his Late Show on CBS. Coincidentally, this is also Leno’s first full quarter at the Tonight Show since Conangate. [ Deadline ]

So You Think You Can Dance Quick Kicks: Rating the Top 9

So You Think You Can Dance broke a new barrier yesterday, and it’s one I like to call DUDES DANCING WITH DUDES. Look! It’s Alex and Twitch!

That was just the beginning of last night’s pleasures, as SYTYCD ‘s nine remaining dancers pulled it out for an all-around spectacular evening. And best of all, Adam Shankman didn’t bawl at the sky. Join us as we rate the Top 9 in quick succession!

Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagnino on Miami, Suspicious Girls, and Firing Rumors

Vinny Gaudagnino is the self-touted family man of MTV’ s reality juggernaut Jersey Shore , the ever-pinchable voice of reason who declares the “GTL” lifestyle a little ridiculous and who tames JWOWW after she punches The Situation in the chest. He’s a party guy whose fist-pimping prowess is second to none, though his vainglorious co-stars tend to dwarf him when it comes to rambunctious spectacle and occasional insanity. Luckily, with the premiere of season two less than a month away, Vinny’s just as torqued as Snooki or DJ Pauly D for the debauchery to begin anew. But did he thrive away from Seaside Heights in the new ecosystem of Miami? Movieline wanted answers. We phoned Vinny earlier this week to discuss season two, his artistic (and political!) ambitions, and the rumors that he won’t be on board for season three.

Liveblogging James Franco’s Dramatically Weird Return to General Hospital

James Franco, how we’ve missed you. The months since Franco’s General Hospital exit have been awfully barren — how could daytime soaps fill the Tommy Wiseau-sized hole left by Franco’s bizarrely meta television experiment? Fortunately, the actor returns to General Hospital today with both his mom and queer performance artist Kalup Linzy in tow. Let’s liveblog it:

R.I.P. Party Down and Gravity

Sad news, Party Down -ers — Starz is not picking up the beloved but low-rated series for a third season, meaning you’ll just have to accept last Friday’s finale as the series closer. The network is also expected to announce that it is not picking up Gravity , the dark comedy starring Krysten Ritter, for a second season. At least we know that Party Down refugees are welcome elsewhere — too bad Lizzy Caplan got screwed for her loyalty . [ Deadline ]

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List Reality Check: ‘Freezing My A-List Off’

Kathy Griffin’s D-List adventures took her “North to the Future” last night to Wasilla, Alaska, the quaint town that still gives Air Force Two pilots night terrors. In addition to signing a few books and helping pick a date for her assistant Tiffany, Kathy tracked down her former “lover” Levi Johnston and joined him on a recreational tour of his homeland. The whole trek was an exercise in meta-reality, but that doesn’t mean we can’t suss out its most “real” and “fake” moments. Bullsh*t bifocals ready, Griffindorks.

By the Way, Rob Lowe is the New Oprah

The good news: Rob Lowe is turning into the scheming capitalist from Tommy Boy that you always wanted him to be. The bad news: He is taking over the planet, and you’re not invited. The Brothers and Sisters actor is reportedly teaming up with very powerful people for a lucrative multimedia deal, and he’s also releasing a memoir and trying out a gig as a reality TV producer. If he’s the new Oprah, I hope he considers giving iPods and $10,000 checks to less fortunate Brat Packers. Eye-popping details follow.

Good News: There Will Be a Glee Audition Show. Bad News: It’s on Oxygen

Just a week after Fox pulled the plug on a new reality series that critics had nicknamed So You Think You Can Be On Glee — a project showcasing worldwide auditions for Ryan Murphy’s song-and-dance series — Oxygen has decided to repurpose the discarded project for its own cable lineup.
