Quick news from TV GUIDE

tvguide.com had a few interesting tidbits today:

ABC's Men in Trees will now debut on Tues, Sept 12 and then will move to it's normal Friday timeslot on the 15th. Why? Because I spent an hour creating the schedule last night, and the network gods like to f*** with me.

The Ausiello Report informs us that the sixth episode of Scrubs will be a musical episode. Normally, a stunt like that would reek of desperation, but it's Scrubs. Trust it to work just fine.

Rock Star's Dave Navarro, rock journalist Neil Strauss, and Cliff Dorman (a writer on Entourage) will develop a show for FX called The Product. It's a drama about a band that reunites after three years of bad blood.

Normally, I wouldn't report this but, I found it comical (especially since I took the real story and made jokes about it): Haley Joel Osmet was busted for driving with a .16 blood alcohol level and possessing marijuana when a mailbox jumped out on the road and ran into his car. The 18-year-old faces up to six months in jail, where he could see things worse than dead people.

And our favorite nutcase (how the hell did Matt Stone and Trey Parker know this so long ago?) Mel Gibson got three years of probation for his actions that prompted his anti-Semetic tirade (not very Christian of him). I also have to wonder: wasn't Jesus Christ officially a Jew? I'm not up on my Bible, but I thought I read that somewhere.

And I guess the media just won't leave Boy George alone. Dude had to do five days of community service, and those vultures just wouldn't let him sweep in peace. Dicks. [That's not really news in my book, but a guy who dressed like a woman and wore LOADS of makeup suddenly doesn't want attention?]
