• The Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie got a poster that hilariously helps us out with pronunciation. Honestly, I think I'm more excited for the little talking dogs than the new Dane Cook flick. How about you?
• Mariah Carey's appearance on American Idol not only brought out some surprising performances, but also a smoking hot Ms. Carey. She looked awesome and I'm happy for her. Kristy Lee Cook was sent home which was probably a long time coming, though it's a little ironic since I think she put in one of her best performances of the season.
• MTV premiered the 20th season of Real World this week and let's just say the casting has, um, come a long way — to put it nicely. However, if Real World is no longer your thing, The Paper also premiered on MTV and it looks fun. Did you watch it? What did you think?
• Project Runway news continues to pop up as LIfetime develops several spin-offs. Bravo isn't sitting idly by, however, and announced its own programming plans this week.
• I featured a diverse collection of trailers this week including The Wackness, The House Bunny, Helen Hunt's directorial debut Then She Found Me, and The Battle in Seattle.
• Remember when I was excited about Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski being cast in a movie together? Well now the movie has a name and Allison Janney!
• In other casting news, there is talk of a Teen Witch remake starring Ashley Tisdale. My befuddlement at '80s remake mania aside, this news reminded me of one of the greatest rap scenes of all time which you simply must watch.
• Author Jennifer Weiner is on board to help ABC develop more programming aimed at women. As for current female-centric hit shows, Samantha of Samantha Who? is the focus of this week's Caption It contest.
