Clearly President Obama has good taste in TV! New sources confirm that First Lady Michelle Obama has invited the cast of Glee to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday April 15th. Apparntlly Mrs. Obama and her daughters are big gleeks including the President himself, which shouldn't come as a surprise seeing as the President watches Gossip Girl too.
Glee is slowly taking over the world, having debuted their first album Glee The Music Volume 1 at No. 1 on the UK album charts. So not only is Glee being watched in your house, but now in the White House too!
With the sudden departure of Edie from Desperate Housewives in season 5, and Ugly Betty recently having been canceled there was suddenlly two very favored actresses on the market. Thankfully Nicollette Sheridan and Becki Newton both recently scored starring roles in new pilots.
Becki Newton has signed on to star in NBC's dramedy pilot "Love Bites", which follows multiple storylines of love and dating. Wherein Newton will be playing a social worker called Annie who also happens to be a virgin. Created by "Sex and the City's"Cindy Chupack.
Whereas Nicollette Sheridan is planning on starring in a new CBS comedy pilot where she plays a Hollywood stage mom to a teen starlet. This seems like good news for TV's two favorite actresses, lets just hope their characters become as iconic as their previous ones. Good luck!
The legend that is Betty White may soon be appearing on NBC's Saturday Night Live thanks to massive fan petitions and heavy demands, but it may not be to host the show. Although 88 years old, Betty White can surely still pack a punch. And with her hilarious Screen Actors Guild Awards speech that remains one of the TV highlights of this year, I fully back this decision. Get her on SNL!
However Entertainment Weekly is reporting that instead of hosting the show White will be part of a "Women of Comedy" special alongside former SNL stars Tina Fey, Molly Shannon and Amy Poehler which are just some of the possible names appearing alongside White.
This decision has been made to aid Betty White not having to constantly host the show for a full 90 minutes (Hey remember she's 88!) whilst also bringing in the brilliance that is Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Whether this is the final decision has not been confirmed, but it sounds like a pretty brilliant idea!
What do you think of a possible "Women of Comedy" special? Let me know in the comments below.

We often tend to believe that everything we see on TV is real. Now of course I don't mean we're delusional and that we really believe Jack Bauer of '24' really exists, but more than likely what we percieve on television can often be interpreted as being real. Modern day television has extended to a point where reality can certainly be replicated, technology is one of those aspects that has helped the television industry achieve this. Although this video is a couple months old it has recently caught everyones attention. And most notably it has shown others that what we see on TV isn't always the real deal.
Check out this extrodinary video below and visit Stargate Studios for more videos and information.

Though it may seem like a while, slowly the TV season is coming to an end and sure enough each network is (slowly) announcing the season finale dates for their shows. NBC announced theirs a couple of weeks ago and now its FOX's turn. Among them is the season finale dates for House, 24, Glee, Bones and many more! So read after the jump to find out when their seasons come to an end.
If you're like me and still shocked at the whole lacluster ending to Desperate Housewive's Karl then you are not alone. Zap2it's Jethro Nededog recently sat down with executive producer Bob Daily about the sudden departure of Richard Burgi's character and why it was such a tough decision. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
Our readers would hate us if we didn't ask you this. Can you talk
about the thought process of either killing Karl or Orson in the plane
crash? That was a very difficult position, because we loved
Richard Burgi. Everybody in the show from the writers down to the Kraft
services people loved Richard Burgi. He was just a favorite of
everybody, so that was a really tough decision. I think Marc felt like
that relationship with Bree and Karl was really fun, but it was so
uncharacteristic for Bree that I think the feeling was to keep that
going would have been difficult and would have transformed Bree's
character in a way. I think audiences like to see characters change a
little, but I really think they want them to return to who they are.
While that was a great moment for Bree, having that sort of unbridled
sexual relationship with a guy she had nothing in common with, we felt
at the end of the day, she needed to go back to being Bree. It was
going to be tough to do that with Karl.
You can read the rest of the interview at Zap2it meanwhile what do you think of Desperate Housewive's having killed off Karl? Should we take Teri Hatcher's suggestion and bring Richard Burgi back as Karl's evil twin brother?
