  • As the Writers Guild votes on the new agreement reached with Hollywood producers, some of the striking writers with producing responsibilities are back at work today, while (pending approval of the contract) everyone else should resume work Wednesday. Hopefully they're well rested and ready to give us some new TV! — BuzzSugar
  • On top of his weekend caucus victories, Barack Obama took home another award on Sunday: the Grammy for best-spoken word performance of his book, The Audacity of Hope. He beat out Hillary in that category, but the big competition between these two has yet to be decided. — CitizenSugar
  • Fool's Gold was #1 at the weekend box office, followed by Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour in third place. Looks like Kate and Matthew . . . struck gold. — BuzzSugar

    So very glad that the Writers Srike is almost over, maybe NOW reality TV can rest in peace.

    I saw pictures of the Wake that Heath's family and friends attended and think that it shows that there was a LOT of love in his family.

    Go BARACK!

    It's about time to end the writers strike. The other side would not come to the table for two months. Besides the lack of decent tv shows, tons of people lost their jobs. That didn't need to happen.

    that's just insane - the madonna thing. although i guess i could understand it. people do tend to stare at an icon.

    as for fool's gold - i went and saw it this weekend and it was cute so i'm glad that it did well despite the reviews.

    yay to the writers - life is returning to normal!

    OK Madonna - a treadmill cost like $400 go buy one and use it in the privacy of your own home.

    I am so happy the writers strike is over. Now please come back with some new Bones and please, please, please bring back Friday Night Lights, please don't cancel it.

    Im more happy for the lower crew getting their jobs back. Yes the shows are back and the movies will be rolling too but I dont really pity the greedy studios and greedy writers. I have friends at Paramount,WB and Disney and what these writers are demanding are insane.
