· TNT's upfronts at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York announce three new original series to premiere in the coming year—Steven Bochco's Raising the Bar, Dean Devlin's Leverage and Truth in Advertising, starring Will & Grace's Eric McCormack and Ed's Tom Cavanagh. Will's totally going to get laid this time, we can feel it! [Variety]
· Michael Moore is prepping a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11, picking up where the last one left off. This time, he's parting ways with the Weinsteins, and producing with Overture Films and Paramount Vantage—a slap in the face to Harvey, who's locked himself inside his office and has been playing with his Fraggle Rock dolls since the deal was announced. [Variety]
· My Big Fat Greek Wedding writer and star Nia Vardalos will repair with her screen husband John Corbett for anti-romantic comedy I Hate Valentine's Day.This reunion is like Sex and the Movie 2! Minus people caring! [Variety]
· American Idol is your boo: Final-three competition dominates Tuesday ratings. [THR]
· Take some solace in the fact that your Cannes hotel room is costing you $12,000 per night with the knowledge that our weak economy means more potential international sales. Yay. [THR]

Tom/Ed/Lovemonkey Cavanagh may be on his way to setting a new record for TV show mulligans. But this could prove helpful to show developers, who could then name his 2009 shot "Mulligan," should this "Truth in Advertising" miss the mark. If "Truth" is about what it sounds like it's about, viz., yuppies at an ad agency, then it'll fare as well as Fox's "The $treet." "Mulligan" can be about a guy who requires slightly too much effort to appear straight, compassionate, and normal; despite the confidence of his superiors that he'll eventually win people over, he hilariously fails to overcome the fact that he looks creepily like Cesar Romero's joker.

You mean "I Hate Valentine's Day" isn't going to be based on the Bennett Madison book? Truly one of my favorite pieces of bathroom reading.
