Everyone knows one will sizzle while two simmer on tonight's Top Chef finale, but what does judge Tom Colicchio think of Kevin Gillespie and Bryan and Michael Voltaggio?

We caught up with the kitchen king as he prepared to cook for an intimate event at Craftsteak in NYC for American Express card members, complete with wine pairings and a performance by John Legend (yeah, drool!).

And while he still wouldn't tell us who would take the big prize, he did give us a taste of which of the brothers he thinks is superior and why Kevin has been so successful...

We didn't think it was possible, but Glee just got a little cooler.

Idina Menzel, the Broadway star known for originating the role of Elphaba in Wicked, as well as for being Mrs. Taye Diggs, is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Glee. Hallelujah!

But is she going to play the role of Rachel Berry's (Lea Michele) bio-mom, a role for which many observers have noted she would be physically perfect?

After losing 239 pounds during his stint on NBC's The Biggest Loser, season-eight winner Danny Cahill is headed home to Broken Arrow, Okla., to restart his family life, and there are some big changes in the works for the Cahills this holiday season.

Among other things, says Danny, "Whenever Christmastime comes, my wife would have to get on the ladder to put the Christmas lights on the house, because they don't make a ladder that handles 450 pounds. This year, I'm putting the lights up!" (Awww.)

What else has changed in Danny's world? Well, Mr. and Mrs. Cahill are apparently doing a home version of The Biggest Loser: Couple's Edition...

When Pam Halpert (Jenna Fischer) finally gives birth on The Office, don't be surprised if the kid comes out walking, talking and reciting his ABCs. 'Cause poor Pam is cooking that poor baby for wayyyyy too long.

"Pam was supposed to be due in February, but now the baby won't come until March because of the Olympics," Jenna told me at last night's In Style/Hollywood Foreign Press party in Hollywood. (She's looking smoking-hot and most decidedly unpregnant in real life, by the way.)

The Winter Olympics are airing Feb. 12-28 on NBC, and apparently some network mucky-mucks think the international rip-off of the Dundees is more important than Pam's birthing. As if!

The good news? Unlike some other shows out there that shan't be named (*ahem*Glee*ahem*FlashForward*ahem*V), we'll get new Office episodes before the Olympics, on Feb. 4 and 11.

And, yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus (who looks a lot like Steve Carell), because The Office also airs tomorrow night with a high-larious Christmas episode that's sure to get you giggly. Check out these awesome sneak peeks, and vote in our Jim and Pam baby pool below...

If Showtime's Dexter ends up winning its very first (and much-deserved) Golden Globe this January, it might just be because host Ricky Gervais has taken it upon himself to call out the wrong name...Turns out, he's that big of a die-hard fan!

"I'm nearly obsessed with Dexter. I've never seen anything quite like it," Gervais tells us, adding that he's been hitting up the show's producer for advance copies of episodes. "I think it's great! It's funny, it's exciting, it's one of the best ensemble pieces I've ever seen. The acting's great, and the writing's great."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

And that's not all he had to tell us. Ricky has some big things in mind for The Office (which we're just passing along for the powers that be to see—hint, hint, Greg Daniels!), including a dream guest appearance by movie star Ryan Gosling and even more Dexter chitchat from the man who calls show runner Clyde Phillips a pal...

Hey, remember scripted TV? You know, that funny, smart stuff that used to make you chortle and laugh on a regular basis? Well, it still exists (sometimes we're surprised, too) and one of the better examples of what smart TV writers can do with a good joke, a good-looking cast and a unique point of view (think Arrested Development meets an old Far Side cartoon) returns tonight in the form of ABC's Better Off Ted.

To catch you up on what you missed if you didn't watch last season (and judging by the ratings, you didn't) and to ready you for the funny coming in season two, we caught up with creator Victor Fresco, who spilled about the show's central romance between Ted (Jay Harrington) and Linda (Andrea Anders) and what dastardly deeds gorgeous Veridian flunky Portia de Rossi's Veronica is up to this year...

First they drop a plane on Wisteria Lane and now this bomb(shell):

Teri Hatcher is taking it off, baby!

Yes, we can report exclusively that Susan Meyer will be doing a seductive striptease in an upcoming episode of Desperate Housewives. And believe it or not, Teri's being taught the dance by none other than the latest hot brunette to come to Lost: Sheila Kelley, also known as Mrs. Richard Schiff, also known as the creator of the striptease workout S-Factor.

"We are working on a dance for Teri to do on the show," Kelley tells us as she prepares to head back to Hawaii today for Lost. "We'll be shooting it soon, and it'll be a lot of fun."  

So which Desperate guy gets the dance? What did Kelley spill about her Lost role? And which "so hot" Lostie is she already crushing on?

Adorable fan faves Meghan Rickey and Cheyne Whitney won the 15th cycle of The Amazing Race last night, but their adventures together aren't over yet!

Heroes: So you're saying there's a chance it might stick around?! That's the latest word coming out of camp Heroes, now that NBC has recast Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes' Mohinder) in the net's own pilot Rex Is Not Your Lawyer, giving the role to Jerry O'Connell instead. An NBC rep said Ramamurthy pulled out of Rex because of a scheduling conflict with Heroes, which was in first position. So maybe with Eastwick's cancellation, it's Rebecca's turn to stay home with the twins?

24/Forgotten: Looks like Jack Bauer's spawn is coming to ABC's Forgotten. Elisha Cuthbert has been cast in a recurring role starting in February, playing a Chicago professional who encounters the Forgotten Network when they investigate a case close to her home.

Melrose/Angel: Sydney's been found! Laura Leighton and Wesley himself, Alexis Denisof have joined the cast of the hour-long ABC pilot Pretty Little Liars.

FlashForward: Creator David S. Goyer is doing some 'splaining about the show's surprising 13-week hiatus (it's not returning until March!), and says, "We feel like we have all the chess pieces on the board, and now we can just knock the dominoes over and watch them fall in interesting ways."

Lost: Matthew Fox is Partying like it's 1999 and he's still on Party of Five and his little boy is still named Owen! Ah, Charlie Salinger, we miss ye. This is just one of the funny moments on the new blooper reel on the Lost season-five DVD, which hits stores tomorrow. Check out a pretty funny sneak peek below...

Grey's Anatomy: Episode 15 of Grey's Anatomy this season features a flashback to the romance between Chief Webber and Meredith's late mother Ellis Grey, and the series is now casting for younger versions of James Pickens Jr. and Kate Burton.

Hmmm...although the story for this episode is most likely about the roots of Chief's alcoholism, this casting development doesn't do much to debunk rumors that the Hotness Monster is Ellis and Richard's secret love child. (Who is the Hotness Monster? That's Jesse Williams, who plays Mercy Wester Dr. Jackson Avery on Grey's Anatomy but got his fan nickname—say it like Loch Ness Monster—during a stint on ABC Family's Greek.)

Fans have long wondered if Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) daddy issues with Chief were strictly psychological or if there was a genetic component to the relationship, but attention on the long-lost baby front has now shifted to young Dr. Avery. What's your take on this tantalizing fan speculation?

Glee: The L.A. Times' Hollywood Backlot photographers were on set for the filming of Glee's fall finale, "Sectionals," which airs this coming Wednesday. Our favorite of the 41 snaps is the one that shows off Chris Colfer's adorable dimples.

ABC: We updated our premieres calendar with new return dates for FlashForward (March 4) and V (March 30).

General Hospital: Movie star James Franco confirmed that his G.H. stint is part of a larger performance art project. (Actors. Are. Nutty.)

Jersey Shore: Based on Twitter chitter-chatter, MTV's Jersey Shore appeared to be a big hit, but only 1.4 million people actually tuned in. Did you watch? What did you think?

Merie in Sacramento, Calif.: I heard that Hayden Panettiere from Heroes is hooking up with Jesse McCartney. Is that true?
