Is This the Future of Entertainment?

· Greek father-and-son comedy act Stavros Flatley beat out soulful schoolboy Shaheen Jafargholi in the Britain's Got Talent semi-finals. It's sad for Shaheen, but ultimately best for the competition, as Susan Boyle will now face down challengers in similar weight and body-hair classes.

· Married real estate agents Melinda and Scott Tamkin are suing CSI producer Sarah Goldfinger for $6 million, for having loosely based some characters on them, they allege. An L.A. Superior Court judge will hear arguments in case Tamkin vs. You Gotta F**king Be Kidding Me sometime in the next few weeks.

· Joss Whedon reacts! to a Buffy remade without him: "I hope it's cool."

· A mini Enough, Already: After reading dozens of identical posts today written by outraged, totally over-it bloggers pledging that the Twitter TV show -- whatever that is, as no one seems to know -- is the last straw and f*ck-the-world-they-want-to-get-off. etc. etc., all I can say is, I can't wait to tune in and I hope it's a big ratings hit. Like, who cares? What is being ruined here? Twitter? TV? The whiny blogosphere? Everyone shut up.

· Now I'm all worked up. I think I need to spend some time with the Pygmy Jerboa again. Oh, Jerboa. Your obsessive-compulsive cleaning habits, general lack of equilibrium, and overall bipedal-rodenty cuteness never fails to bring a smile to my face.
