Bachelorette's Chris Harrison Schools Joel McHale
Love can be a terrible thing to waste. Unless, of course, when it goes horribly wrong and can be repurposed into cheap yet satisfying entertainment.
And speaking of cheap yet satisfying, you won't want to miss tonight's Soup special, Love and Other Burning Sensations, as Joel "The Passion Master" McHale takes you on a guided tour through the worst (and therefore the best) moments in TV love gone wrong.
Including a taste of heartless Bachelorette host Chris Harrison, who took time away from whatever he does when The Bachelorette isn't on to shame and abuse McHale, live and in person.
Remember, you can catch more pain tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT!

TLC Lets the Door Hit Jon (Not So Much Kate) on the Way Out
At this point, there's almost nothing we don't already know about Jon and Kate Gosselin.
He likes Ed Hardy, ticking every box off the midlife crisis checklist and demanding privacy from the paparazzi, unless of course they want to patronize his lemonade stand or capture him bringing flowers to his ex-wife. His dislikes include spell-check and Nancy Grace.
She, on the other hand, enjoys employing ghost writers to pen cookbooks on organic food, berating her personality-challenged husband and recouping hundreds of thousands of dollars that were rightfully hers to begin with. She's not such a fan of anything less than industrial-strength pomade.
This much we know.
But TLC is reminding us of a few other Gosselin truths that have gotten lost along the way in the torn-apart family's reality swan song, as Jon & Kate Plus 8 comes to its confessional- and montage-filled series end tonight.
Like, no matter how heinous you think their parents are—and at this point it is just a matter of degrees—those Plus 8 are downright adorable (and, lest we forget, the reason viewers flocked in the first place).
Adam Lambert: For Your Entertainment—or His?

Adam Lambert is fully embracing his new solo career—as well as his keyboard player, too.
The American Idol runner-up gave the final performance at the 2009 American Music Awards, and he delivered much of what earlier outings by Janet Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Lady Gaga and others had: lots of back-up dancers, a stumble or two and just a bit of raunchiness.
OK, in Lambert's case, there was more than a bit of racy material as he mixed together a so-so song, some S&M imagery and a bit of simulated sex. Oh, and that juicy midsong kiss, too.
For your entertainment, of course. Was it enough to make his performance the best of the evening?
What was your favorite moment during the show? Check out our 2009 American Music Awards gallery for the highlights.

It's happy feet time!
With just a couple of days to go until the disco ball trophy is handed out on Dancing With the Stars, we thought we'd check in with some DWTS vets to find out what they think will go down when Mya, Donny and Kelly waltz as if their lives depended on it…
Glee Sneak Peeks: "Wanna See a Real-Life Music Video"?
The Madonna episode of Glee is here! While babysitting Mr. Shu's wife's sister's brats, Quinn (Dianna Agron) and Puck (Mark Salling) make beautiful music together. To be specific, she sings and he accompanies a rendition of Madonna's 1980s teen-pregnancy classic "Papa Don't Preach."

Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray & More Continue Singing Oprah's Praises

Before everyone and his mother had a daytime talk show, there was Oprah Winfrey.
And the news that in less than two years there won't be an Oprah Winfrey Show as we know it has prompted an outpouring of well wishes and appreciations from those whose stars have shined a little brighter thanks to Oprah's warm glow.
"I am going to enjoy every episode between now and 2011," offered Food Network star turned syndicated talk-show host Rachael Ray, who waited until Oprah had discussed the matter "one-on-one" with her audience today to comment.
"Oprah opened the door for me to move into daytime television and I can't thank her enough. I look forward to seeing what she does next…there will only ever be one Oprah!"
Hell, even Dr. Phil McGraw knows who first put him on the map.

From big names to big shames, it was quite a week at Soup central. Fasten your bib, and let's dig in.
• Nicole Kidman gets her boob envy off her chest.
• Who knew Terrence Howard was an immortal player in the Hollywood firmament? Besides Terrence Howard?
• Jenna Jameson reveals her lofty porn standards to a curious Oprah.
• Sandra Bullock pays homage to Kathie Lee Gifford's buttocks. Yum.
• Zany Shayne Lamas takes her space cadet blonde routine to the luxury car lot. Hilarity ensues. And confusion.

CSI: NY Murder Mystery: Is Kim Kardashian the Killer?

Those Kardashians sure know how to drum up some mighty big ratings, so why wouldn't a prime-time series want in on the action?
E!'s reigning reality queen Kim Kardashian is working her acting chops in an upcoming episode of CSI: NY, and we were there to see all the action—including some additional guests like former MTV VJ (and Kim K. pal) Vanessa Minnillo and lead singer of Train Pat Monahan.
"Someone is murdered today, and somehow I'm involved," Kim tells us. "It's cool to get in this mindset and really be this heavily involved in such a crazy crime."
Hmmm, should we have prefaced that with a spoiler alert? Something tells us the CBS spinoff wouldn't have dished out the big bucks without giving the reality starlet a juicy role. See what the rest of the cast is saying, and decide for yourselves...

Does God Save the Supernatural Boys?
Jack Rowand/The CW
Can you believe we have to wait almost two months for a new episode of Supernatural, especially after yesterday's heartbreaker "Abandon All Hope"? The wait is going to be positively gruesome, but to keep, well, hope alive during the holidays, we gathered up the answers some of your burning SPN fan Q's.
So what's the biggest question of all right now in the Supernatural-verse? For our money it's this: Why is God so darn laissez-faire in his approach to the Apocalypse? The Winchesters could really use a hand mopping up all the fire and brimstone that's raining down on Earth right now! Come on, big man! Show your face!
So, will there be a deus ex machina in season five of Supernatural? Here's what we're hearing:
New Moon Grooming, The Amazing Race Stumper and More!
He may not be a vampire of the New Moon variety, but don't worry, ladies, Joel McHale can still wax his chest with the best of 'em.
And when he wasn't engaged in intimate grooming this week, your Soup host discovered a complete idiot on The Amazing Race (imagine that!), and found Ray J, shocked and confused upon learning that Lucious—one of the ladies vying for his love—actually slept with someone before she met him!
And she looked so pure.
Find out even more shocking facts on your scalding new Soup tonight at 10 p.m.

Forget Johnny Depp, Wendy Williams Endorses Sinister Sexuality of Joel McHale
The judicious tastemakers at People magazine may have crowned Johnny Depp the Sexiest Man Alive, but your very own Joel McHale walked away with the Sexiest Troublemaker award this year.
Meaning when he has sex he causes trouble?
Anyway, the honor captured the attention of none other than Wendy Williams, who believes that troublemakers should get spanked.
Which is somehow a less-than-savory visual.
But don't worry, there's plenty of full-on savory action tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT on your red-hot Soup.

And until then, feast your eyes on more Joel McHale!

American Dad! Puts On My Morning Jacket
This is a threat not even the CIA can stop.
What are we talking about? The addictively angelic vocal cords of My Morning Jacket's Jim James, of course.
The singer gains an animated fan when government agent Stan Smith becomes obsessed with James' band on an episode of Seth MacFarlane's American Dad!, airing Sunday, Nov. 22. And in this exclusive clip, we show you the depths to which one man will go to protect his favorite band.
God help Stan when he finds out James has been moonlighting in the Monsters of Folk.
