Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so you know what that means: time for your favorite TV characters to get in the mushy spirit. The holiday is perfect fodder for some of the best sitcoms, so prepare yourself for dates gone awry, bizarre love confessions, and the like. Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect from TV's finest fictional funny people this week.
Saturday Night Live's recent game show skits haven't killed me the way the old Jeopardy ones with Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek did — until this weekend, when Ashton Kutcher hosted. The game is called "What Is Burn Notice?" and based entirely on the notion that despite the USA show's popularity, no one really knows what Burn Notice is about.
SNL gets a lot of mileage out of the somewhat vague posters, promos and titles of the show, which I hadn't really pinpointed before (but now that they have, how many other shows fall into this category? I can think of a few). Guesses from the stumped contestants include premises like "a sexy doctor who can start fires with his mind," and "the detective team Michael Burn and Chet Notice."
Even if you do, in fact, know what Burn Notice is, you'll definitely get a kick out of the skit when you read more
Time for a post-Super Bowl water cooler debate: this year's ads! I'm still scratching my head over the multiple spots featuring men in underwear, but a few made me chuckle without resulting to stripping down (I'm looking at you, Go Daddy). Take the celebrity cameos, for instance. I loved Betty White's "That's not what your girlfriend said" line for Snickers, but I was also excited for the return of the Griswolds and a watch party with Letterman, Oprah, and Leno. How the heck did Dave get Jay to help promote his own late-night show?!
In the category of amusing to downright silly, T-Pain auto-tune for Bud Light was goofy in a good way, and the Kia Sorrento spot which had a sock monkey and his toy friends on a joyride made me smile. But at the top of my list for sure: Google's relationship web search, which was unexpectedly sweet in the midst of all the beer-chugging and screaming chickens.

Taylor Lautner can't seem to keep his muscles out of his casting choices: the young actor has been cast as Stretch Armstrong, beloved old school action figure. No plot details about the movie are known yet, except that it'll cost you a little more to see — the movie will be in 3-D.
I would have envisioned someone a little blonder in the role (the doll was a towhead after all), but I'm more curious about how he'll be portrayed — as a superhero? As a toy come to life? As a sideshow act?
Despite mixed feelings on John Travolta's From Paris With Love, the new film ranked in at third in its first week with $8.1 million. Edge of Darkness followed close behind at No. 4 with $7 million, and Tooth Fairy finished out the top five with $6.5 million.

Cat Deeley looked casual and cute outside the BBC Radio One studios in London. She wore Hudson black skinny jeans and kept warm with a feminine white pom pom scarf and soft green leather jacket (similar in color to this one by Tory Burch), adding a Pauric Sweeney python bag and tough combat boots to give the look more of an edge.
