Tonight our favorite crass, clueless Philadelphians return to TV for their third season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"! I've mentioned before how much I love this FX show, and judging by tonight's first episode, it looks like this season will not disappoint.

As fans probably already know, this show is not exactly concerned with political correctness, as evidenced by even the title of tonight's premiere: "The Gang Finds a Dumpster Baby." In the episode, Dee and Mac do, in fact, find a baby in a dumpster and try to figure out how to make it non-white in the hopes that it will be cast in commercials. Meanwhile, Dennis finds a creative way to get back at a particularly rude environmental activist and Charlie learns the jarring truth about his birth.

As soon as you get ahold of your 2008 calendars, draw a big, fat heart around May 30. According to MTV, this is the date when Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, Charlotte, Big and the rest of the gang (including, randomly, Jennifer Hudson) will be coming to a theater near you!

It's a great sign for the movie that the producers want to release it on the first big weekend of the summer. So far, the ladies will be competing at the box office with an Eddie Murphy comedy Starship Dave and the Kristen Bell comedy (produced by Judd Apatow) Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Now, it seems we have everything in place for the "Sex and the City" movie... except for that pesky little plot, about which filmmakers and actors are remaining mum. Stay tuned, and clear your schedule for May 30!

Ever since the nominations for the 2007 Primetime Emmy Awards were announced, I've been thinking — a lot — about who will be taking home the awards on Sunday. While there are always surprises, here are my best guesses. Don't forget to fill out your ballot for a chance to win a year of free TV!

OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES
My prediction: "The Sopranos." I don't see Emmy voters passing up their last chance to recognize this instant classic.
Secretly rooting for: "The Sopranos." It wasn't my favorite show, but it opened the door for so many other edgy, risky series.

OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES
My prediction: "The Office." It was an up-and-down season, sure, but when it's on, it's unbeatable.
Secretly rooting for: "30 Rock." It probably doesn't deserve the win, but it turned into a comedy gem by the end of the season.

Pop's pleas have been answered.
USA Today is reporting that Rachel Bilson will guest-star on "Chuck," one of the new shows from "The OC" creator Josh Schwartz.

Even better:
She's going to be playing a romantic interest for lead character Chuck, a nerdy employee at a Best Buy-type store who gets the nation's spy secrets downloaded into his brain. No word on how many episodes she'll get.

It's been a big week for those "OC" kids.
Mischa Barton has three movies in the works, and Adam Brody just picked his next project.

Take that, Tate Donovan!
Earlier this week, the former Mr. Cooper blamed the young stars of "The OC" for the show's cancellation, claiming they didn't want to be on television. But it seems like Bilson is up for more TV, especially a show in "The OC" family. And hey, at least she's working again — and on one of my favorite fall shows, too.

All summer long, I've been giving you my first impressions of the networks' new shows. Now, with fall TV upon us, it's time to tell you which shows are deserving of space on your TiVo and which ... well, aren't. Today, I'm starting off with five shows that — based on their pilots — you'd be best to steer clear of this fall.

5. "Life" — I was into the premise of this show about a detective who gets sentenced to life in prison and rejoins the police force after his wrongful conviction is overturned. But the show itself was such a bundle of cop-show cliches and random quirks that it was already grating on me by 10 minutes into the pilot. Lead actor Damian Lewis gives his best shot, but if the writers want to create a "House"-style misanthrope, they're going to have to do more than make him wax poetic about fruit all the time.

4. "Viva Laughlin" — I once declared this musical drama the pilot I most wanted to see ... but then I actually saw it. What a bummer. I thought it would be a fun, cheesy, over-the-top hit. In reality, the musical numbers that didn't involve Hugh Jackman fell flat, and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. I still hold out hope that it could get better, but I doubt it's going to be on the air long enough to improve.

Just two weeks from tonight, the saucy doctors of Seattle Grace will be back in business when "Grey's Anatomy" starts its fourth season. Wondering what that first scene, and Meredith's trademark voiceover, will hold after such an emotional season finale? Wonder no more! You can watch the first couple of minutes of the episode, plus — update! — two new scenes with Lexie Grey, if you read more
