Why couldn't it have been Bobbie, when we've seen more of her in the past week than in the past six months. Carolyn Hennesy's Cougar Town has been picked up by ABC. Congratulation to her.

The Pussycat Dolls shook some booty on One Life to Live and Matthew Buchanan must have been happy. Todd, Tea, Blair and Marty were held hostage.
