“It’s so sad seeing these contestants so excited and hopeful about making it through the first round of the first day of Hollywood Week. Learn to manage your expectations just a little bit, Youth of America. This is not actually “your future,” it’s a game show. Or maybe very little is required to change some people’s lives.”

“Michael Lynche, even though he’s missing the birth of his baby for Hollywood week — I support him because he’s singing “Waiting On the World to Change” and we need more people to cover John Mayer songs so I have to hear him less. See how much better this is without the singer sounding like he’s having severe intestinal distress?”

Check out Dana’s first dive into the AI pool here.

She talks to PopGurls about what she learned about being a runway model, her extensive charity work and sitting down with the Democratic National Convention’s first ladies Michelle Obama and Jill Biden.

On a mission from God, Castiel yanked Dean up from Hell to do His bidding – and we are all too happy to go along for the ride.

It’s gonna be a line of a dialogue that stands out — I don’t think there’s any casual way to say “I’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.” (laughs)

Not unless you were just sitting around, having a few beers at a bar.

Possibly. I’ll try to slip it into casual conversation. See how it goes. Let me make a note.

Misha talks to PopGurls about how he got past the FBI, why flying is overrated and if he prefers being touched or groped.

+ 90210 — Deja Vu All Over Again?
This is not a recap. This is not really a review. These are simply our reactions. Shame and sanity were left at the door.
CLASS DRAMA, IN-LAW DRAMA, and ALCOHOLISM. All these important issues must be in caps — otherwise the very special-iality of these issues wouldn’t be as apparent.

The Bitch Is BackFor those following the casting news of the new 90210 spin-off, the latest gossip is that my favorite and (better be) yours, Shannen Doherty might INDEED be back to reprise her role as Brenda Walsh. My heart honestly did a little joyful flip when I read that this morning, and my co-workers and I have been all aflutter.

It seems that money is a sticking point here, but if the producers want ratings gold they need to give Doherty what she wants. She will be worth every dollar in her pocket as fans who tuned in 18 (my god!) years ago will tune-in in droves.

I’m so embarrassingly excited about this possibility!

If only all the 12-and-under girls knew more about him, he’d be pursued by excited fans, giddy about talking to the man who’s worked with several Disney Princesses. The latest princess being Enchanted’s Giselle [Amy Adams], who crashes into Times Square after being pushed into a magical well by an Evil Queen [Susan Sarandon]. It’s a very charming movie, a stunning showcase for Amy Adams who will certainly win fans of all ages.

Kevin talks to us about directing Enchanted (where he was also voiced Pip, the Squirrel, in New York), Disney Princesses and gives some advice for aspiring animators.

Which is certainly not a bad thing, but it is a bit disarming once his deep British accent rumbles across the phone line. In fact it’s so disarming that I’ve now decided that it’s a good thing that he plays the role of Chuck Bass with an American accent because, honestly, it would be way too distracting and fans would be even more conflicted in their lust for Chuck — Gossip Girl’s undisputed bad boy.

Ed spoke with PopGurls about why he loves playing Chuck, who he thinks Chuck wants to sleep with and why comparisons with James Spader’s Stef in Pretty in Pink are a little off the mark.
