IT’s Friday morning and it’s damp, cold, and downright miserable here in Boston so I thought I’d chat about some news tidbits given that I didn’t see any television last night. Well, that’s not entirely true. When I got home at midnight I started watching SUPERNATURAL but couldn’t keep my eyes open. Being at work for 16 hours will do that to you.

Let’s start with some SUPERNATURAL news. Obviously there’s the whole Katie Cassidy tried to impersonate someone else to protect her “high profile” acting career after being a drunken mess and underage.

Then, did you hear about this? Apparently SUPERNATURAL is big with the Troops! Could it be all the violence, the hot girls, or the hot boys?

According to TVGuide:

Jensen and Jared were honored on Veterans Day in Chicago, Army Master Sgt. Kevin Wise, First Special Forces out of Baghdad, presented the actors with congratulatory letters and Special Forces coins. It seems the CW series is one of the most popular — some say the No. 1 — DVD request from military members over there. According to a letter Sgt. Wise read, watching the demon-killing Winchester brothers helps soldiers forget the stress of war and reminds them of family and home.

I’ve never asked my brother if he’s into the show… he’s all GI Joe and all so this would be good to know. That’s pretty frakkin’ cool huh? Go Jensen and Jared. Though to be honest, I’m a little peeved at my Supernatural contacts for not spilling that scoop to us earlier.

So up in Vancouver where they film Supernatural, it appears that a number of shows are closing shop this week and telling their actors to get lost. BIONIC WOMAN and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA are ceasing to continue production. Battlestar needs no more barriers… seriously can we just get our final season already! Damn.

Project Runway’s 4th Season Premiere killed over at Bravo! It was the highest rated show on Bravo ever. It’s all because of Tim Gunn, let’s be honest folks. He makes it work. See how I snuck that in, “make it work”… ah, good times.

One of my summer faves, BIG BROTHER has started casting for Season 9 which CBS is not confirming will begin this winter (thanks to the strike). If you’re interested in joining that hamster cage in L.A. now’s the time to submit your application. The Chenbot Lives Even In The Winter!

And finally today, I’ll throw in a huge sigh of relief and excitement over the fact that TLC has asked the ever perky and punctual PAIGE DAVIS back as Host of Trading Spaces. To be honest, Spaces has not been the same since she’s been gone. If we could only find a way to get rid of Frank, it would be the perfect show again. Bring back Doug and Vern too! If anyone questions my love and infatuation with Page and the Trading Spaces of old, you can surely find a Boston Globe article with me in it as a super fan. God that’s gay.
