A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

WEEKEND ROUNDUP: I don't actually have anything to write about, but you've all been so very attentive these last couple days when it's just been me posting (um, guys, where are you?) that I feel obliged to offer up something new. Or at least a new comment thread for everyone to use to chat among themselves.

• Both Entourage and Deadwood have their season premieres on Sunday. I've never watched either one, but may take a crack at the new seasons.
• Michael Ausiello ran a great interview with Lauren Graham this week, in which she indicated that (1) she and Alexis Bledel are a package deal for an eighth season and (2) she agrees with all of us that Amy Sherman-Palladino's decision to render Lorelai a total doormat on the subject of Luke's daughter was bizarre and undesirable.
• So You Think You Can Dance has chosen its top 20 dancers (although no one has yet seen fit to update the official website), and the real deal begins on Wednesday. The 20 include the requisite breakdancer-without-portfolio (although sadly not Hawk, whose student visa precludes him from progressing further, for reasons that I don't entirely understand -- was he in violation of his visa by having auditioned in the first place, or is there some distinction between early rounds and the finals?), the Mormon (I assume) son of the King of West Coast Swing, his seemingly not-Mormon-based-on-her-outfit cousin, and an array of lyrically inclined twisty bendy people.
• Cars, the new Pixar flick about, well, cars, is garnering what seem to be surprisingly meh reviews.

That's it for now. Talk about whatever you like in the comments.
