Huh! Surprising news of the week:
It's only just October and ABC have renewed 3 of its new comedy shows, Modern Family, Cougar Town and The Middle. The pilots of the latter didn't get the best reviews so early renewals are a little surprising but still its good to see some comedy shows get some love.
NBC has oddly cancelled Southland before its even aired. I don't watch the show so I'm no expert bit it seems a bit pointless not to even give the show a chance. According to this article from Nikki Finke, it's due to Ben Silverman's crappy programming and development- you'd think then, they'd give a show that seemed to be doing okay critically and commercially a shot.
Barack Obama wins the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize- hmmm, I like Obama, but he's not even been in power a year and whilst he has done a lot for peace, mostly he's just mopping up the mess from the last presidency and therefore doing his job. Surely there's someone more deserving- or maybe there's not which lets face it is a little depressing.
Sad news Stephen Gately passed away this morning. Really shocking and sad since he was only 33. No news of what happened yet. I liked Boyzone back in the day and my sister was a big fan. RIP.
The Booby Scare- FunnyOrDie
This is a pretty funny and socially aware video starring Alyson Hannigan, Emily Deschanel, Jaime King and some some singers (I think) about checking for breast cancer. Its a good line-up of stars and sends out a funny and positive message:

I read about Stephen Gately's death. Wasn't a fan of Boyzone but it is sad news.
Very sad. Apparently he died of natural causes which I can't decide if that makes it less or more sad.
