Apparently Jessica and Cash didn't have time to take advantage of being in Paris after Eva and Tony's wedding, because the two were at the airport on their way out yesterday morning. And don't they just look thrilled as usual (though I'm loving her coat)?

We've already watched 3 episodes of Prison Break which EW is saying is one of the 10 Shows You Need to See this fall. So far we are very intrigued to see where this show goes. They say the escape from prison is only the beginning which is good because I was wondering what they were going to do next season.

Who needs Sundance when you can make your own winter wonderland right in Pasadena? Okay, it might not be as glamorous as Park City in the end of January, but it can't be all bad if Wentworth is there. The Fox All-Star Winter TCA Press Tour party included our favorite Monday night stars.

Lost was back on its game last night. I love the episodes around Jack, Kate and Sawyer. While the flashback was a little predictable I guess they needed to remind us that Sawyer will con just about anyone.

Wentworth Miller and the rest of the hot gang were in Cannes promoting Prison Break at MIPCOM. We missed one of our favorite shows this week. We hope the World Series ends quickly so we can get back to more important programming, like weekly Wentworth.
