Check out the NBC Thursday night comedy promo video for a sneak peek at the upcoming fall 2009 season.

A mystery woman in Ryan Jenkins’ case? It appears that the mystery woman who checked Ryan Jenkins into the motel where he was later found dead of suicide is now part of the case as well.

The mystery woman hasa now been identified as Ryan Alexander Jenkins’s ex-fiancee. Jenkins was on the run from authorities for the death of his ex-wife Jasmine Fiore – and later, found hanging by a belt from the coat rack of the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia.

TMZ.com is reporting that the mystery woman in Ryan Jenkins’ case is his former fiancee, Paulina Chmielecka; the couple were together for three years, before their relatonship ended earlier this year.

Paulina’s agent told TMZ.com: “There’s no way it can be her because on Friday she was doing a fashion show and Saturday she was filming a cooking show. She’s grieving the loss of someone she used to love.”

Paulina Chmielecka could be charged as an accessory.

A deal has yet to be reached between American Idol producers and Paula Abdul, leaving many to speculate that Abdul won’t return to the Idol judging table.

Nigel Lythgoe commented, “We would certainly consider [Abdul as] a guest judge. Without question.”

Paula Abdul is more than qualified to judge a dance competition, as a former Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader and choreographer, she certainly has the dance background.

Lythgoe noted this about the contract negotiations witih Abdul and Idol, saying, “They will talk and try to iron things out, and if they don’t come to an agreement, then Paula will move on. At the end of the day, that program is bigger than any individual. Even Simon.”

Richard Castle is a best-selling mystery author on the series, so a book tie-in makes perfect sense.

You can check out the first chapter of the novel “Heat Wave,” starting August 10 on ABC.com – a chapter a week will be posted for 10 weeks, with the full novel published September 29.

The second season premiere of Castle airs in late September.

Twitter has teamed with Reveille productions and Brillstein Entertainment Partners to work out a series based on the Twitter site.

While details are still a bit fuzzy, the TV series would involve Twitter, quite possibly tweeting celebs too. Reveille managing director Howard T. Owens says, “Twitter is transforming the way people communicate, especially celebrities and their fans.”

No doubt Twitter is huge (Nielsen reports that unique Twitter visitors increased from 475,000 during February 2008 to 7 million in February 2009… but can it translate to a TV series?

Rod Blagojevich would need to travel to Costa Rica to participate in the reality series, but U.S. District Court Judge James Zagel said modifying his bail terms would be “a bad idea.”

Rod Blajojevich told the judge that being a contestant on “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” would be “a way to earn a living and support my children.”

Blajojevich added, “It’s not my first choice, but it’s a living.”

Denise Richards commented on her DWTS performance, saying, “Well, my daughters love my Dancing!” That’s not enough to keep her around another week though.

Most believe the Lost statue to be Egyptian, and likely the face on the other side will not be human. A lot of people are pointing to Anubis, as seen in this picture, the jackal-headed Egyptian god of the dead.

Some statues of Anubis have him holding or wearing an Ankh necklace in his right hand, with some holding a staff in the other hand.

An Ankh necklace that belonged to Paul was part of the “LaFleur” Lost episode. The symbol means “eternal life.”

Reba McEntire will host the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on April 5.
