All the tube news that’s fit to surf …

- 24 season eight: a month and a half away. But new promo photos from the new season: just a click away.

- FX has confirmed their midseason premiere dates, including Jan. 6 for the rollout of the last batch of Nip/Tuck episodes (has that show gotten even crazier this year, or what? It’s like watching Oz again with that Matt storyline) and Jan. 25 for the third season premiere of Damages.

- A reality star – from VH1’s Tool Academy – has crawled out of the woodwork (well, she’s crawled out of somewhere) to claim she’s been having a years-long affair with the suddenly beleaguered Tiger Woods.

- It’s official: Thanks to the World Series, Fox nabbed its first-ever November Sweeps win.

- Good news: The Reeg’s hip replacement surgery went off without a hitch.

- Reality TV star and tabloid magnet Nicole Richie, who guest starred in an episode of Chuck, will star in an ABC sitcom pilot loosely based on her own life and wacky family background (she was raised by pop star Lionel Richie and his ex-wife after friends of the Richies allowed the singer and his wife to adopt Nicole).

- Poor Zack Morris. TBS has canceled the legal drama Raising the Bar.

- CBS’ Three Rivers is also on the chopping block, as the network has yanked the medical drama from its schedule, effective this Sunday.

- Does anyone still care about American Idol season three winner Fantasia? IF so, mark Jan. 11 on your calendar; a new VH1 reality series, Fantasia For Real, premieres that night and updates fans on her life as a single mom and her musical career.

- Think getting one of those tricked out houses on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is a blessing? Not for every family, turns out.

- Will Adam Lambert make a guest appearance on Gossip Girl? If he has anything to say about, yes, as he’s a self-admitted “geek” for the show.

- And tonight in primetime: The Sons of Anarchy season two finale at 10PM ET (FX).
