Of course Evan Rachel Wood has been cast on True Blood.

The actress dated Marilyn Manson for over two years, making her uniquely qualified to hang out on a series that's focused on vampires and other unusual creatures.

Wood will premiere on True Blood on August 30. She will be taking on the role of Queen Sophie-Ann, who is described by show creator Alan Ball as someone “nobody’s ever entirely happy to see. She’s very powerful, capricious and most likely insane.”

Here are a pair of photos from Wood's debut episode:

In other True Blood news: Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin got engaged last week. We wish the best to this couple!

Is it too late to rename the series Pretty Betty?

As filming for ABC's Ugly Betty gets underway, the show has given its main character a serious makeover.

Played by America Ferrera, Betty Suarez has said goodbye to her braces and sayonara to her messy, curly hair.

In April, producer Silvio Horta warned fans about the impending new look. He said: “There’s going to be a progression in her look overall. It’ll still be Betty, but you’ll see some growth in that direction.”

That's for sure. Compare the before-and-after shots below:

Shenae Grimes is rarely excited for a full meal.

But the incredibly thin actress told People over the weekend that she can't wait for season two of 90210; specifically, she's psyched for a certain guest star to appear.

“Rumer Willis is joining us for a little while. I’m not sure for how long, but we are very excited,” Grimes said, adding that her character might start the fall season as an outcast:

“That’s kind of a big twist this year. I’ll start out on a different foot then I did last year. I’m not part of the gang for a little while and you’ll see why."

Willis, meanwhile, has been booked as Gia, a lesbian student at West Beverly. 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord wants to make out with her on screen.

90210 came back with a bang - and a blow job - last night!

While oral sex in the West Beverly parking lot was a change from the original, Mel Silver not being able to keep it in his pants is as old as Dylan McKay's sideburns. It was nice to know some things never change.

Did you like the new 90210?

While the concept of remaking Beverly Hills 90210 never ceases to amuse us -- didn't The OC and Gossip Girl already do this? -- there's little doubt we'll be tuning in.

For those that are unsure about revisiting the zip code that made Luke Perry and Tori Spelling household names, however, we present three reasons to watch this Tuesday's series premiere:

1. Shenae Grimes
2. Jessica Stroup
3. Oral Sex

Here's a look at the first two reasons, as Grimes and McCord - who portrays Annie Wilson and Naomi Clark, respectively - posed for pictures at the 90210 premiere party last week:

As for the third reason listed above, no, Antonella Barba isn't guest starring on 90210.

But Shannen Doherty was recently asked by Entertainment Weekly how the new show differs from the original. She said the goal of The CW was to present realistic teenage behavior, which has changed dramatically from the era of Brenda Walsh saving herself for Dylan McKay at the spring fling.

"All I know is there’s a girl giving a guy a blow job in the first episode,” Doherty said.

In other words: if Aaron Spelling wasn't already rolling over in his grave from Dean and Tori: Inn Love, the original series creator is doing somersaults down there now.

In case you somehow didn't believe the rumors, check out the promo below for The CW's new 90210.

Indeed, Kelly Taylor and Brenda Walsh are returning to the zip code they called home for so many years...

WILL YOU WATCH THE NEW 90210?

If Grey's Anatomy has any fans left, tonight's two-hour fourth season finale is supposedly the night you've been waiting for!

Just kidding. The show still draws millions of loyal viewers. Yet it's been a long time since something interesting happened on it.

Well, that supposedly changes tonight. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) are going to be getting together for good.

We know this because the show's own creator and producer, Shonda Rhimes, has already said so publicly. We don't get it either.

Anyway, here's a photo from tonight's show. Meredith is holding what looks like champagne, ready to celebrate ... something.

More than three years later, will a terrific episode finally bring Meredith and Derek together - or will the hit medical drama jump the shark for good?

Also, Alex and Izzie may or may not get together, and there's another love triangle involving possible girl-on-girl action. Gotta love Grey's Anatomy!

Sorry, Bobby Banhart.

But after winning season one of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, you had your chance to fully win over this MySpace vixen. You failed. She moved on. And the second season of this dating competition begins tonight.

So many dating series-related questions come to mind regarding the new season of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila:

• Will Tila Tequila break out a Matt Grant-like British accent in order to sound as adorable as this year's version of The Bachelor?
• Will she borrow Bret Michaels' bandana?
• Will Daisy De La Hoya make an appearance?
• Will season three be filmed simultaneously?

Guess we'll need to tune in in order to find out the answers to these questions and so many more.

What else are we gonna watch, the Pennsylvania Primary results? Just call us when Hillary Clinton drops out.

As warm weather begins to coat the east coast in sunshine, so does the television dial begin to heat the hearts of viewers with new and exciting programming.

Because we aim to deliver more than just mundane celebrity gossip, here's our look at what couch potatoes can sit back and enjoy this evening:

Gossip Girl: It's back!!! Without the backstabbing actions of Blair, the shady shenanigans of Chuck and the uber-hotness of Serena, our lives have felt emptier over the past few months than K-Fed's bank account after a late-night trip to Scores in Las Vegas; or Heidi Montag's soul; or a Fiji water bottle on a sweltering afternoon in LA.

Tremendous metaphors aside, the point remains: Gossip Girl is back tonight with new episodes. We're giddier than Kim Kardashian at a sale for extra large thongs.

Dancing with the Stars: Despite the fact that Kristi Yamguchi is a heavier favorite on this show than either David Cook or David Archuleta on American Idol, we still tune in every night. Our dream is for a staffer from The Hollywood Gossip to be included on Dancing with the Stars one day.

We'd rumba circles around Perez Hilton. 

The Bachelor: How will Shayne Lamas embarrass herself this week? How many swoons and tears will Matt Grant be responsible for over a period of one hour? So many questions. So many desperate, pathetic women.

WWE RAW: A special three-hour presentation of the WWE's flagship show promises a showdown in the ring between Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton. If it's anything like last week's debate on ABC, John McCain will be declared the winner.

The Hills: This show revolves around spoiled, beautiful socialites named Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag and Audrina Patridge. Tonight - as a bonus - Justin "Bobby" Brescia reportedly makes his return! What's not to love about him (everything)?

The Hills couples: Heidi and Spencer; Audrina and Justin-Bobby. 

We know any loyal, educated television fan is watching Pushing Daisies tonight.

But after you've marveled at that brilliant program on ABC, you may wanna wander over to MTV at 10:30. How come? Because Donald Trump is premiering his new reality show tonight. It's called Pageant Place - and it looks wonderfully awful.

The show follows around a series of beauty queens, all of whom have been covered at various times in the past by our diligent celebrity gossip staff. The cameras zoom in on...

• Katie Blair, Miss Teen USA 2006;
• Her successor, Hilary Cruz;
• Riyo Mori, this year's Miss Universe;
• Rachel Smith, this year's Miss USA.

These vixens pose for photo shoots, travel the world and visit charities, per their beauty pageant duties. All the while, three at a time live in an apartment in New York City.

The promotions for the series promise that it will reveal the sisterly outings, as well as the occasional high-level squabbles, such as the time Smith sniped, "You are a teeny-bopper," and Blair fired back: "You're Miss USA. I'm Miss Teen USA."

Trump sometimes visits the ladies, as does Tara Conner, who has gone from rehabbing cocaine addict to beauty queen supervisor on the show.

It's the sort of life transformation Lindsay Lohan can only pray to make some day.
