Amid all the batshit crackpot conspiracy theories that have emerged in the wake of yesterday's Boston Marathon bombing, the "Family Guy false flag" theory stands alone in its batshittiness.

Last night's especially very special episode of Glee took on the hot-button topic of school shooting. A series of gunshots put everyone in William McKinley High School in lock down. No one was actually shot, so the episode was kind of inert and lacking the sort of catharsis that would come from watching people on Glee die.

Glee star Cory Monteith, 30, has admitted himself to rehab for substance addiction, according to a statement from his representative.

Fox will test-run a Kris Jenner talk show this summer. It's just one step closer to a 24-hour Kardashian kable khannel.

Sarah Palin has quit her second job in four years, leaving Fox News. Maverick move. Anyway, more time for shopping.

LeAnn Rimes' rough year has included a stint in rehab for "anxiety and stress" (or maybe not), a breakdown on E! regarding her first marriage (which ended in her cheating with actor Eddie Cibrian, who left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Brandi Glanville for Rimes) and an accusation from Glanville that Rimes is addicted to laxatives ("LeAnn has a severe eating disorder. She has [a laxative] in every purse," is the poetic way in which Glanville informed the world).

What a morning. Bad enough for Americans still reeling from the idea that Twinkie production may be disrupted by the vagaries of business. I hate to break it to those very same Americans, but their favorite TV show may be just as imperiled as their favorite food.

Fox is taking the dive (!) into the fast-developing TV genre of what Deadline describes as the "competition celebrity diving reality arena." Oh, you were not aware of this genre? Allow me to explain.

For the next few weeks, we'll be evaluating many of the new fall shows as they air. At long last: one worth watching again for real.

For the next few weeks, we'll be evaluating many of the new fall shows as they air. You can't judge a show by its pilot, but that doesn't mean we aren't going to try anyway because there is only so much time and tolerance for shit that is this silly.

Jada Yuan's New York cover story on Mindy Kaling contains the most perfect summary of what the writer-comedian-actress means to pop culture, as stated by Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly:

As previously mentioned, an aspiring X Factor contestant who didn't make it through the first round of auditions alleged that he was "bullied" into admitting that he was gay on the show. Don Philip, who sang with Britney Spears on her debut album, said he was "set up" to reveal his homosexuality onstage based on a pre-audition reveal and had subsequent thoughts of suicide.

Those expecting sunshine and catatonia from Britney Spears' new gig as X Factor judge must have been surprised to see how dismissive and blunt she proved to be on last night's Season 2 premiere of the Fox singing competition.

Officials at a wildlife park near Frankfurt, Germany, are on the lookout for an escaped kangaroo believed to have been assisted in his getaway by a fox and wild boar.

Details are scarce, but TV Guide is reporting that Community creator Dan Harmon is "close" to putting his John Hancock on a deal to write a pilot for Fox.

Along with NBC, FOX announced their fall schedule yesterday and released trailers for their new shows. The big ticket item is The Mindy Project, which looks great and would probably be a sure fire hit even without the successful and compatible New Girl lead in.

Never ones to let an opportunity to knock Fox News pass them by, The Simpsons' producers semi-surreptitiously inserted the above title card into the closing credits of the show's pilot episode, "Simpsons Roasting on a Open Fire," which reran last night as part of a night of programming honoring the Fox Network's 25 years on the air.

The ratings are in for America Idol's two-part premiere this week and the numbers aren't good. It's average ratings among 18-44 year-olds (the only people the universe cares about) dropped 44% from two years ago. Yeah, that's almost half.

The Scream couple are working in Hollywood together. Also today: Lifetime remakes a modern Southern classic, some exciting Game of Thrones news, and HBO scoops up Liberace.

As the fate of longest-running sitcom ever (and greatest show ever) The Simpsons hangs in the balance because of money disputes between cast and production, one actor, Harry Shearer (Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns, et al) has reached out to the public to explain the situation.
