- So, last night’s Bachelor … whoa! Didn’t see that one coming, but who else thinks that may not be the last we see of Ali?

- Ellen DeGeneres makes her big debut as the newest American Idol judge tonight (8PM ET, Fox) … will she be able to stick to her plan to be “brutally honest” without sounding mean?

- Howard Stern has confirmed Fox is interested in making him Simon’s replacement on American Idol, and he says it’ll only cost the network $100 million. Is he – or anyone – worth it?

- As the ratings for 24’s eighth season are down and a decision on a ninth season is still up in the air, EW.com says a 24 big-screen movie is closer to becoming a reality.  Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff is really a big wet blanket on the new season so far, but I still hope there are many future Jack Bauer adventures minus the wooden, hair-flipping Dana Walsh.

- Want to be a fashionable couch potato? Perhaps PajamaJeans are just the thing you’re looking for …

- Are Andy and Erin going to be the new Jim and Pam? They’re cute, but not quite Jim-and-Pam level. Speaking of, the Halperts will welcome Baby Halpert in a special hour-long ep of The Office on March 4.

- There’ll be a new judge in town when season 14 of America’s Next Top Model premieres on March 10: Vogue legend Andre Leon Talley.

- I (ashamedly) love Jersey Shore as much as the next girl, but really, who would pay $50,000 to have fist-pumpin’ DJ Pauly D walk them down the aisle at her wedding? Well, this girl, and even wackier: He rejected the offer, because he’s “a serious DJ.”

- More Joisey Shore news: Snooki got a makeover. For reals.
