Pop's got all her new favorite shows already season passed on the TiVo, but tonight some older favorites are coming back - yay. The 9 o'clock hour is a difficult toss up between The Office and Grey's, but at 8 tonight it's all about Betty. In terms of how much fun a cast has together on set, I have to believe that Ugly Betty is one of the best - look at them together! Not only are we reuniting with America and Vanessa, but the rest of the excellent cast like Michael Urie and Becki Newton are coming back to our living rooms, too. My girl Buzz got a chance to sit down with Becki and talk about life on Betty and what it takes to play a character like Amanda. She's hilarious and totally down to earth - check it out here.

Lots more from the set so read more

Clever marketing is fabulous and we are all about a great ad campaign. In case you have not noticed the fabulous VH1 ad running on the site, watch the youtube movie below. I guarantee you will be wondering WTF Platinum Weird is.

If you want the spoiler on why this is such a great ad and what to expect tonight, read more

LA time wrote this about the ad:

.... none of it is true.

With VH1's premiere of "Rock Legends: Platinum Weird" today at 6 p.m., Dave Stewart (formerly of Eurythmics) and Interscope Geffen A&M Records are gambling that viewers - and potential record buyers - won't feel misled by this mockumentary that holds itself out as a rockumentary.

Unlike the genre's standard-bearer, "This Is Spinal Tap," the film never lets viewers in on the secret. Instead, the authentically retro-looking "Behind the Music"-style special unleashes an elaborate "rock mythology" about how Stewart and a femme fatale named Erin Grace created a group whose counterculture niche would have an outsized influence on rock 'n' roll.

Truth is, the group's lead singer is songwriter-producer Kara DioGuardi - the pop rainmaker behind numerous hits for Top 40 stars such as Carlos Santana, Pink, Ashlee Simpson, Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani as well as several former "American Idol" contestants - who has recorded an album's worth of material as Erin Grace and gone so far as to do interviews as the character.
