COME ON! This week's EW is the annual "Must List Issue," which, sadly, indicates that the worst issue of the year, the "Photo Issue," is in the near future. One of the more interesting tidbits in the issue comes in the profile of Rainn Wilson, which reveals that he was a finalist for the role of GOB on Arrested Development. That's one of those casting concepts that's so close to being right that it's painfully wrong. Wilson's GOB would have probably been creepy and leering without the endearing overgrown manchild edge that Will Arnett brought to the part.

In other Office news, Jenna Fischer played on Celebrity Poker Showdown this week, and the most interesting tidbit is even though their on-screen characters are less than the best of friends, Angela Kinsey is a good friend off-screen and came down to New Orleans to provide support. (Also, bring back Phil Gordon. Phil Hellmuth may be a better poker player, but his rapport with Dave is lacking.)
