by Kevin CrossmanAfter seeing Rainn Wilson's profile raised considerably by his popular Twitter account, Mindy Kaling (not Kelly fierce) is finally on Twitter. The service allows big stars or actually anyone to send short but important messages.Among Kaling's first posts: I am looking for hot, but practical underwear. The kind you reach for instinctively but also won't make my boyfriend throw up. Suggestions?Yes, that's the kind of urgent and important information to be found on Twitter. Of course, you can follow Matt and myself if you so choose.http://twitter.com/mindykalinghttp://twitter.com/rainnwilsonhttp://twitter.com/theofficenbchttp://twitter.com/kevincrossmanhttp://twitter.com/sommermatt
From NBC.com:BLOOD DRIVE | 03.05.09 | 9/8c PT | TV-PG L LOVE IS IN THE AIR...SORT OF - It's Valentine's Day at the office. Michael (Steve Carell) meets a mysterious woman at a Valentine's blood drive. Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) pair up with single women at the office "Lonely Hearts Party." Meanwhile Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) are banished from the office for being too publicly affectionate, and have an awkward lunch with Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) and Bob (Robert Ray Shafer). Leslie David Baker, Kate Flannery, Mindy Kaling, Angela Kinsey, Oscar Nunez, Paul Lieberstein and Creed Bratton also star. ------------------Ah, who DOESN'T love a good Valentine's Day story in March? Bizarre scheduling aside, I'm looking forward to tonight's episode as it seems rife with comedic possibilities (plus, this will be my first official episode of The Office on my new HDTV).As always, post your comments below, and join us in the NEW and IMPROVED TWSS Chatroom after the show.
I mentioned Jesse Thorn's interview with Larry Wilmore last week, and lo and behold he drops the bomb on us by chatting with Jenna Fischer.From the show description:Jenna Fischer is an actress best known for her role as Pam on the hit NBC sitcom The Office. She's also starred in several films, including Blades of Glory and Walk Hard. She talks with us about dreaming of glamour growing up in St. Louis, and getting her big break -- the role of Pam -- by focusing all her ability on being un-glamorous.Visit the TSOYA webpage HERE, or click on the player below to listen.
by Kevin Crossman"Ryan Started the Fire" got a lot of play a couple weeks ago but for my money this is a better overall effort. This video includes what seems like every popular song ever sung on the show and put together with quick cuts to thematically similar moments from the show's history. For example, when Andy sings "drift away" you see him floating away in the sumo suit from "Beach Games." What's better, we get great moments from all the main characters (though Creed fans may feel gypped). There's a new Office episode this week and rather than be tempted to spoil yourself with clips at NBC.com, instead take a lovely break with The Office Musical.
by Kevin CrossmanMindy Kaling (Kelly Kapoor on The Office) participated in an online chat with OfficeTally yesterday. Here are some of the more interesting details.Lecture Circuit was originally envisioned as a regular one-part episode. When the first cut of the episode came in at 42 minutes, meaning it would be extremely difficult to cut down to 21 minutes for airing. Greg Daniels then went to the network to see about turning this into a two-part episode, and the network agreed. As an outcome of the episode expansion, the Andy and Angela storylines were hastily added and shot the next week. All of which basically reinforces the observations on the last podcast that these two storylines seem shoehorned in. They were. Literally.A reader asked about the twitter.com/iamkellyfiece account, assumed to be written by Kaling herself. However, Kaling noted that the posts are being written by two writers assistants. Kaling said she would reconsider twittering in the future.Kaling confirmed we'll see more of Jan Levenson (Melora Hardin) in future episodes, and in a bombshell moment confirmed that Amy Ryan will return as Holly Flax! She wasn't sure for how many episodes, but noted she will appear in at least one this season. One wonders if the key part of that statement is "this season," leaving Holly fans everywhere thinking that more appearances next season are a possibility. I guess we'll see.Lastly, Kaling mentioned that she loved Ed Helms' 1-2-3-4 song from Lecture Circuit like I did.

Episode # 63 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds both Matt and Kevin choosing an hour of napping. Gooooooood morning Viet-Nyaaashua! With the Scranton branch booming, Michael and Pam are on an excellent adventure to bring a bit of the old Scott magic to the rest of Dunder Mifflin. Meanwhile, Jim and Dwight, newly crowned kings of the Party Planning Committee, struggle to mollify Kelly after forgetting her birthday-- may I suggest a theme of 'horse hunting?' Andy strikes out, Angela makes us sick, and Creed discovers a new form of currency. Truly, this is the best episode of TWSS ever recorded. Am I a liar? Would a liar bring mini-Mounds bars?

According to Us magazine, Angela Kinsey and husband Warren Lieberstein (brother of The Office's Paul Lieberstein) have separated after eight years of marriage.The couple had their first child, a daughter, in May 2008.Says Kinsey's publicist: "Angela and Warren are taking some time apart to figure out what is best for their relationship...They continue to be friends."
While you're waiting for the new episode of TWSS, why not enjoy the latest offering from PRI's THE SOUND OF YOUNG AMERICA? Host Jesse Thorn always offers interesting interviews with various media personalities, and this week he is talking with Larry Wilmore. Wilmore, the creator of THE PJ'S and THE BERNIE MAC SHOW, is perhaps best known to office nerds as "Mr. Brown" from season one's "Diversity Day" or as the "Senior Black Correspondent" on THE DAILY SHOW.Click HERE for the iTunes link, or HERE for the show's official website.
Rainn Wilson pimped this fan-video/song on Twitter this morning. Quite amusing.
