Fans of John Ratzenberger listen up: He was amazing on FX's "Legit" as Janice's tent living husband. Now he returns to Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva," a series that follows a shallow wannabe model that suddenly dies in an accident only to find her soul resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, plus-sized recently deceased attorney.

Immediately following "Drop Dead Diva.s" return, Lifetime will premiere its new drama "Devious Maids."

At the Grammys on Sunday, February 10, Jimmy Fallon will complete half an Egot according to our predictions. The Emmy-winning comic and talk show host is the frontrunner to win Best Comedy Album for "Blow Your Pants Off," getting 12/5 odds. -Insertgroups:12- But not everyone agrees. Though he's the overwhelming favorite of users, our editors are split, with two backing Fallon and three favoring the Jack Black/Kyle Gass music duo Tenacious D for their collection "Rize of the Fenix." They're currently in second place with 10/3 odds. In third place with 11/2 odds is Lewis Black for "In God We Rust." Unlike Fallon and Tenacious D, Black is a previous winner, with Grammys in 2006 for "The Carnegie Hall Performance" and 2010 for "Stark Raving Black." -Addprediction:76:387:Click to predict Best Comedy Album:addprediction- Following in fourth place is Margaret Cho.

Vanity Fair will be devoting their January 2013 issue to comedy and those who practice it best, a first for the magazine. While I support this idea wholeheartedly, there are a few kinks with the issue we need to discuss, because this is the Internet, and we can. First off: Vanity Fair teamed with 60 Minutes to create a poll about things that make us laugh, and like most polls penned by 60 Minutes, the results are weird. The main one we need to bitch about is this: 60% of those polled believe men are funnier than women.
Oh, I’m sorry. Did you say something? I couldn’t hear, because I was busy repeatedly slamming my head into a wall and wondering why the hell we’re still asking this question.

And the winners of the 2013 Grammy Awards are ... the men. Male artists dominate the nominees in the top categories for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, announced Wednesday night (Dec. 5).
Topping the list with six nominations each are Jay-z, Kanye West, Fun., Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys.
Taylor Swift, whose new album "Red" won't be eligible for consideration until 2014, earned a single nod for Record of the Year with her hit breakup single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
The biggest snubs are teen heartthrobs Justin Bieber and One Direction, who cleaned up at the American Music Awards, and Rihanna. The "Diamonds" singer earned a trio of nods (pop solo performance for her "Where Have You Been," rap-sung collaboration nomination with Jay-z for "Talk That Talk" and short-form music video for "We Found Love") but is Mia from the major categories.

Kim Jong Il is dead, and the confirmation of this is something I had been waiting for, as I have long suspected that he had actually died years ago, and that the miracle of Photoshop and an outsourced Hollywood publicist had kept him alive, rather than heart and lung machines. We had no way of truly knowing. There is no way of knowing what happens in North Korea and what doesn’t.
What happens in North Korea stays in North Korea.

Good morning! I hope you had a great weekend.
June Diane Raphael has scored a recurring role on Fox's New Girl as Jess' "smart, slightly intimidating but helpful lesbian friend who is an Ob/Gyn by day and a skilled archery player by night." June, for those of you who don't know her, is a hilarious actress who is also Bff with Casey Wilson (Happy Endings). They are readying their buddy comedy, Ass Backwards, that has a huge lesbian scene and I am still waiting patiently to see it. I'll probably see June play the Obgyn first! (Aka I'll have to start watching New Girl.)
Wait — more lesbians on TV? Sandra Bernhard and Laura San Giacomo are coming to Hot in Cleveland as a couple! (I love Laura — she was so good in Sex, Lies and Videotape.) From TVGuide:
"I play Valerie's [estranged] sister, Caroline," says Laura. Caroline reveals she's a...
