Whats Hot On TV

We’re in Hollywood tonight on American Idol, and for once I’m not yelling at the TV screen, “Finally!” The three weeks of auditions we sat through I think were doable. And after we were finally done, we didn’t then have to sit through a Best and Worst. The first night is always filled with so much drama. Other than that, I don’t know what is going on with CBS, as they’re airing reruns again.

1. The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Ellen’s guests are Josh Brolin, who’s nominated for an Oscar his role in Milk, and Pink, who performs with Butch Walker. Syndicated, check local listings.
