Part 2!

Although Joel McHale had nothing to say yet regarding Girls Next Door's Kendra Wilkinson's recent engagement, there was another unexpected announcement on this weekend's edition of E!'s The Soup ... one that I couldn't be happier about.

Actor and Robot Chicken creator Seth Green stopped by to plug that the Cartoon Network will be presenting Robot Chicken: Star Wars Pt. 2 this coming Sunday (Nov. 16) night at 11:30 p.m. If you've never seen Robot Chicken: Star Wars Pt. 1, you don't know what you're missing. Well, assuming you're a Star Wars fan, that is. It's a hilarious send up of the popular sci-fi film series, making fun of the emperor, Luke, Leia, George W. Bush, and of course, Darth Vader, himself.

If you're unfamiliar with Robot Chicken, it's a stop-motion animation sketch show with quite a cult following. Innovative, imaginative and well done, you can check it out here http://www.adultswim.com/shows/robotchicken/index.html

For a taste of the Star Wars edition (which is available on DVD), check out this sketch of Darth Vader calling the Emperor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjDEwCjGL1U


On CBS last night, another charging episode of the Amazing Race toured through Delhi, India, where contestants raced each other to another Pit Stop and elmination.

Siblings Nick & Starr started out first, since they were the first to check in at the Pit Stop last week. Their clue instructed them to travel through the congested streets of Delhi to find an apartment complex where a traditional Indian celebration was being held called the Holi Festival (Roadblock). Teams had to make their way through the crowd of revelers who pelted them with powdered dye and water. Then they had to climb a ladder and search thru hundreds of envelopes marked "Try Again" to identify one of only six labeled The Amazing Race.

This challenge proved brutal for most of the teams, although Nick & Starr performed it with ease. Dallas was virtually turned pink by festival revelers, Tina's hair remained green throughout the race and Kelly & Christy misread another clue.

Kelly thought she was supposed to grab one envelope at a time and run it back to Christy, thus wasting a lot of time. Kelly tripped and went down face first, prompting her to tell Christy she could not finish the Roadblock. Christy finally realized they're mistake and they finished the task.

Next up was a Detour with the choice of Bleary Eyed or Teary Eyed. Bleary was a task involving teams following a power line and writing down all the numbers in succession. Teary was just what it said - teams had to go to a spice market, pick up 80 lbs. of dried chilies, deliver them on foot and use a mortar and pestle to make enough chili powder to fill a container to the designated line. Only Terence & Sarah picked Teary Eyed. They finished their task, but only after coughing from the spices and complaining of burning skin.

Prior to the Detour, Ken & Tina encountered their Speed Bump. Remember, Ken & Tina came in last before, but it was a non-elimination leg. They must perform the Speed Bump in order to continue with the race. The Speed Bump was a task serving water to temple-goers. Once everyone's thirst was quenched, Ken & Tina could resume the race.

Fortunately, Ken & Tina raced thru Bleary Eyed. They even stopped to offer help to Andrew & Dan afterwards, who were having a particular hard time finding the corresponding numbers. Nick & Starr won their third consecutive leg. Phil rewarded the pair with a trip for two from Travelocity to Kauai. Toni & Dallas were next, followed by Terence & Sarah and Ken & Tina. Andrew & Dan were fifth and Kelly & Christy were last and eliminated.



Bye-Bye Kelly & Christy

Over on HBO, those randy vampires on True Blood were busy holding a trial for Bill Compton, who killed a fellow vamp last week after he attacked Bill's human squeeze Sookie. Fortunately for Bill, the usual sentence of 5 years in a coffin wrapped in silver chains, was lessened to just turning a young girl to the vamp lifestyle. A task he didn't look forward to, but performed it nonetheless.

Back in Bon Temps, Sam revealed his true self to Sookie - he's a shape-shifter, just don't call him Werewolf! He can basically change into any creature, but he prefers a dog. Tara went thru some sort of exorcism to please her newly sober mother, only to find out later that the lady shaman is a fraud and works at the local drug store.

The killer (is it a werewolf?) went after Sookie at Merlotte's, but Sam interrupted and they got away. Only two more episodes left, and next week it looks like Sookie's falling for Sam and Bill isn't happy about it when he returns to town ...

Following True Blood was another amusing episode of HBO's Sex & The City replacement, Entourage. Entourage follows the life of movie star Vincent Chase (Adrien Grenier) and his "entourage" - big bro Johnny Drama, BFF/manager Eric and friend/driver Turtle. Of course, it's his stereotypical Hollywood agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) who steals the show! Not to mention Ari's chicly gay assistant Lloyd!Anyway, this week found Vince still having trouble with his Smoke Jumper's director Verner (Stellan Skarsgarde). Seems Verner's been giving all Vince's lines to his costars. If you've never watched this show, you might want to give it a try.

QEII
Sweeps Highlights this week: On Wednesday at 8 p.m. PBS begins a new series titled Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work. Elizabeth II's 2007 U. S. visit will be showcased on this episode. I don't know what it is, but I love watching anything on the Royal Family!
Also on Wednesday - 10 p.m. belongs to Bravo when Top Chef returns for a new season filmed in New York City.
Thursday brings Dr. Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) back to NBC's ER. Greene, as you may know, died a few seasons back, but he'll be appearing in those oh-so-convenient flashbacks!
Before ER, Jennifer Aniston makes her guest appearance on 30 Rock, stalking Alec Baldwin of all things!
Saturday brings British comedian and The Office's original creator Ricky Gervais to HBO for an all new special Ricky Gervais: Our of England - The Stand-Up Special at 9 p.m. And if his performance at this year's Emmys is any indication, this should be a real treat!
Things are heating up on Wisteria Lane Sunday, literally. According to last night's promos for Nov. 16, that dreaded night club fire will be happening at 9 p.m. on ABC's Desperate Housewives. Who won't survive?
And will we finally get some answers on the mystery behind Edie's new hubby?

In other news: Don't look for Julianne Hough to be back on Dancing with the Stars tonight. Docs think she'll need at least another week to recoup from her recent surgery. That means that cute little Cody Linley will get another go 'round with the hot Edyta Slawinska ...


And I know I'm late on this, maybe because I'm hoping it doesn't happen, but now that it's been in TV Guide, I guess it will .... Due to the "success(?)" of the new 90210, the CW is working on a deal to bring back the original 90210's spin-off Melrose Place! I mean, really, do we need this?I'm still watching, for reasons I can't explain, the new 90210, but I won't recommend it. And, yes, I loved Melrose Place. I never missed it! The wicked Amanda, bland Billy, feisty Sydney - and who could forget crazy Kimberly (I'll never get over when she pulled off her wig and exposed that huge scar!)? Way before she was a Desperate Housewife named Bree, Marcia Cross, scared the bejesus out of me -- but I doubt they can pull off the magic of Melrose again. What do you think?

Kimberly Wigs Out!

But just in case you're still watching 90210, on tomorrow night's episode, the illegitimate son of principle Harry shows up.

On TV tonight: Bravo's Inside the Actors' Studio celebrates its 200th episode with special guest host Dave Chapelle. That should be interesting (8 p.m.).
Find out the repercussions of Heidi's firing on The Hills at 10 p.m. on MTV.
Sci-Fi channel continues its LOST mini-thon from 7-11 p.m. (we're in season two).
Jon & Kate Plus Eight arrives in Hawaii (but I'm not sure if the wedding is tonight, you'll just have to tune in) at 9 p.m. on TLC.


And what kind of fan would I be if I didn't share that during tonight's broadcast of Heroes, a new clip of Twilight will be shown, introduced by Edward Cullen himself, Robert Pattinson (NBC, 9 p.m.). If Summit Entertainment keeps this up, we'll see the whole movie before it opens Nov. 21!
You know what that means ... yes, another Twilight photo! Enjoy!

Bella & The Vamp Edward
