Jenna Fischer Dishes On Office Romance...and the Baby!

Jenna Fischer is hot. We know it. Jim knows it. Roy knew it. And now, apparently Us Weekly knows it, 'cause the mag honored her last night in Hollywood as one of the chosen few for its Hot List. And even better for you Office fans, she gave us some juicy little insight on when Pam's gonna pop and what's up with the "new Jim and Pam."
Also there? Joel McHale and the Glee star who may or may not be his distant cousin.
[Not there? The lovely Eliza Dushku, who left the scene after security wouldn't let her inside the party without the appropriate wristband. Way to kick her when she's down from Dollhouse's cancellation, Us Weekly!]
So what did we learn from Jenna, Joel and Joel's cousin? For starters, that "Jam" baby is going to be here soon?
The Office's Mock-Hanging No Laughing Matter for Mental Health Groups

One could say that Michael Scott hangs himself regularly on The Office. But his latest stunt has more people squirming than usual.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention was put off by last week's Halloween episode of the Emmy-winning sitcom, in which Steve Carell's character slips a noose around his neck and fakes a hanging to scare a group of young visitors to Dunder-Mifflin's haunted house.
"Kids, just remember, suicide is not the answer. It is the easy way out," Michael reminds them afterward.
Same old delusional Michael, maybe, but a really inappropriate line according to the people whose mission it is to educate about mental illness and prevent others from taking their own lives.
Spoiler Chat: House and Office Romance Scoop!
Adam Taylor/FOX
OK, OK, we hear you!
Apparently all you TV fans want to know about is:
- House and Cuddy and the possibility of hanky-panky
- The Office's new Jim and Pam (is it blasphemy to call them that?)
We've done some digging with inside sources (and a couple of castmembers themselves) to come up with inside info for you.
Read on for our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...
Sherrie in Louisiana: Forget Jam. I'm digging this Erin and Andy flirtation on The Office! Will they actually hook up?
Steve Carell Hits the Clubs for New Film

Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore…Missing Links?
Even if you don't spend all your time watching the Golf Channel, you still have to be pleased Steve Carell has decided to make a comedy set in the world of golf, according to the Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business blog.
Why? Because as those other movies prove, golf can be really, really funny. (The Legend of Bagger Vance, notwithstanding).
Based on a novel by ESPN's Rick Reilly, Missing Links features a foursome who conspire to graduate from their shoddy municipal course—one in which an elevated train passes through—to play at a fancy-shmancy local club nearby. Hijinks, we imagine, ensue.
Can't wait to see who accidentally gets hit in the groin first.

Amy Ryan Welcomes an Office Baby

Just because your birth doesn't come complete with a cover-shot bidding war or isn't heralded in a gun-jumping Twitter frenzy, that's no reason to feel insecure about your adorableness.
Besides, it's not every baby that can boast one degree of separation from Michael Scott. (Sorry, Sparrow.)
Which is why we're pleased to offer some column inches and congratulations to The Office's Amy Ryan and her fiancé, comedy writer Eric Slovin, who welcomed their first child last week.
Publicist Carrie Gordon confirmed to E! News that the Oscar-nominated actress delivered Georgia Gracie Slovin in New York City on Oct. 15.
Looks like it's gone, baby bump, gone.

Spoiler Chat: Who's Crossing Over Next on Grey's and Private Practice?
ABC/MICHAEL DESMOND; ABC/Richard Cartwright
Could Izzie (Katherine Heigl) be running away to L.A. to hang with Addison (Kate Walsh)?
Or maybe it's McSteamy (Eric Dane) who's heading down south—what? We mean to Cali!—with his former flame?
Anything is possible, 'cause it looks as though more Grey's Anatomy crossovers are in the works, and sources are rumbling about a possible third show in the mix. (Shhh…)
Meanwhile, we have exclusive news for you Bones fans, courtesy of David Boreanaz: It's official! Emily's sis Zooey Deschanel hits the set for the next episode.
Plus, more juicy goodness on the big Heroes death and who might not be dead on Lost after all...It's all in our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop.

Spoiler Chat: OMG, Look Who's Hooking Up Next!
GIOVANNI RUFINO/THE CW
Hooray for the sexual Petri dish of prime time! Not only is Gossip Girl's much-buzzed-about threesome on the way (and yes, we have scoop on that, too), but sources are buzzing about a new core coupling on the way that many of you fans have been speculating about...
Is it Dan and Blair? Nate and Serena? Dorota and a new feather duster?
(Hmmm...That last one might be too hot for the CW.)
Oh yeah, and did we mention someone's going to die on Melrose Place...and on Dexter? Or how about the latest on Grey's, Glee and Modern Family?

The Office Wedding Dance-Off!
You could call it Jim and Pam versus Jill and Kevin, except Jim and Pam didn't dance, unlike Jill and Kevin.
So, maybe you should just call it Dunder Mifflin gets down. Or tries to.
Last night's long-awaited Halpert-Beasley merger on The Office was attended by 9.1 million, per preliminary Nielsen estimates. The highlight of the hourlong episode, non-Meemaw division, was the spoof of this past summer's YouTube hit, "JK Wedding Entrance Dance."
Or, what you could call a spoof within a spoof.
The Office Wedding Sneak Peeks Are Finally Here!
Be still our hearts—Jim and Pam (John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer) are tying the knot in almost three days! And really, what more is there to say? We've given you all of the juicy little details we can possibly squeeze out, so sit back, relax and watch four clips from Thursday night's nuptials.
Spoiler Alert: JAM swapping vows is the biggest day in Michael's (Steve Carell) life and, as always, hilarity ensues.
Jim & Pam are Going to the Chapel & They're Gonna Get Married!
It's almost here! The wedding extravaganza we've all been waiting for is just nine days away, and we have some superfun behind-the-scenes footage of The Office for all of you Dunder Mifflinites. Looks like the gang's all there to witness Jim and Pam's (John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer) I do's, including Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) in some sort of toupee and indescribable shoes—please, oh please take a look around the 55-second mark! According to Jenna, the festivities are "going to have all of the romance, all of the love and tons and tons of crazy" that we've grown accustomed to from JAM.
Don't miss the wedding of the year Oct. 8 at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Which TV Show Hides Its Baby Bumps Best?
Ron Jaffe/Fox
Which phone call does a TV show runner fear more? (1) "Surprise...we're canceling your show!" or (2) "Surprise...I'm pregnant!"
Obviously, no one wants their series axed. But no matter how welcome that bundle of joy might be, an expecting actress presents all manner of complications for her show's writers.
And the clock is ticking.
Some brave producers scrap their original storylines and incorporate the pregnancy into the plot, but most rely on props and costumes for camouflage.
TV's veritable baby boom is calling for even more ingenuity in fooling its mothers' natures, so who deserves the most props?
