-- In only the latest in an increasingly long list of instances where rightwingers demonstrate their complete inability to discuss sexism without revealing they actually know nothing about the subject, a female Bloomberg reporter on FOX & Friends said that the desire to vote for a pro-choice candidate might connect female voters to each other more than having "tits" would connect them to Sarah Palin. Which, you know, might be true -- but in the interest of a well-informed electorate, we invite Mrs. Palin to make her case. [via Videogum]
-- Bravo to Yahoo! News, who managed to get every Izzie-loving Grey's Anatomy fan on the web to click on their story "Is Katherine Heigl Finally Quitting?!" when it's not about Heigl's longstanding feud with the Grey's writers at all; it's about her quitting heroin "the lifestyle" smoking.
-- Things are looking up for the CW. Gossip Girl did great on Monday, 90210 held its own on Tuesday, and last night's Smallville and Supernatural premieres had a 50 share in our apartment last night! (The Missus was on the web.)
-- Speaking of 90210, people please stop asking Luke Perry if he's gonna make an appearance on the series reboot. You want him to ask you to walk around in your prom dress?
-- Rachel Maddow may be MSNBC's new breakout star. Just two weeks into her new nighttime show, her ratings are better thanboth networkmate Keith Olbermann's and Larry King's over on CNN. We caught it last night and it wasn't bad - certainly it was better than Hardball -- but we couldn't help but wonder when Chuck D would chime in with something weird. (Guess we haven't heard her in a while.)
-- Party of Five's Scott Wolf, last seen on ABC's failed serial hostage drama The Nine, will appear on the 100th episode of CSI:NY, as will onetime '90's It Girl Julia Ormond. We're pretty sure that Wolf, in his role as the possible target of a serial killer, will do a little of Bailey-style whimpering; no word if Ormond, in her role as investiagator, will be using her sense of snow.
