We had an epiphany earlier this week: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Diaries and True Blood are all the same show. All three vampire series are about an impossibly attractive and moderately magical heroine from small-town America who must balance the demands of friends and family with her problematic feelings for not one but two local vampires: a broody good one with an itchy conscience and a sexy bad one who likes to, um, eat women.

So, between now and Halloween, we'll be pitting the casts of our three favorite vampire shows (sorry Moonlight) against each other in a little fan challenge we're calling Vampire Wars. We're setting up fights between characters from BTVS, TVD and TB in five competitions over the coming days, and the best out of five wins. You have to vote early and often in all five categories if you want your show to take home the trophy.

First up, tell us which vampire-show leading lady is tops: Buffy, Elena or "Sookeh" Stackhouse...

This is just so wrong.

It's not nice to pick on the physical appearance of a cancer survivor, but come on!

ABC just released a new promo still of Katherine Heigl's Izzie Stevens from the Oct. 1 episode of Grey's Anatomy. The ep, which is titled "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watchin' Me," focuses on Izzie's recovery and apparently on a fishy wig...

After almost two months of live performances, the season five finale of So You Think You Can Dance arrives this week. From thousands of contestants down to the top four, this week is sure to be explosive, as America crowns its favorite dancer once again.

At last night's So You Think You Can Dance competition taping in Hollywood, executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe told the crowd that season-three star Travis Wall (who was sitting in the audience) and many other standouts from seasons past would be doing guest performances on the 100th episode of the show, airing Thursday, July 23. And that got us thinking...

If all the dancers from SYTYCD seasons one through four were compared, who would stand out as the best? Forget "America's favorite dancer" for a second. In terms of raw talent, training, technique and sheer star power, which dancer is the very best of all?

ABC FAMILY/BOB D'AMICO

Remember that era of pop culture when people were all "I'm a Carrie" or "I'm a Samantha," declaring which Sex and the City character most represented their style and worldview, and even buying the T-shirt to prove it?

Well, the gymnast girls on the ABC family show Make It or Break It are making us identify all over again. Don't know if we're ready to buy T-shirts yet, but there's just something about four ladies with different hairstyles and personalities but intertwined lives that makes us want to declare our allegiance, you know? So, poll time!

When last we saw our favorite Upper East Siders on Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen was heading to Fiji to find her dear old dad.

The mystery man who fathered the blond bombshell and her brother, Eric, has never really been mentioned—only as an aside in tales of their mom's various husbands and escapades—but it seems likely that he might finally become a living, breathing presence on the show next year.

So with all the other exciting casting announcements this week (Hilary Duff, Joanna Garcia), we got to wondering who might score the paternal part. We exclusively chatted up the van der Woodsen kids themselves, Blake Lively and Connor Paolo, and you'll never guess who they think should fill their papa's shoes...

Don't know if you've heard, but there's a recession on. As many of us tighten our belts in the face of job losses, budget cuts and general economic mayhem, one of the first things to go is "frivolous" expenses. Some people consider TV frivolous, and before you turn unplug the entire system, maybe you start by cutting back on extra networks, to save yourself a few dollars. Which leads to the question: If you had to cut the (premium) cable, where would you start?

Which of the premium networks would you throw overboard to keep your budget afloat, and which would you cling to as an entertainment life-preserver?

The rule for purposes of this discussion is that you would be stuck with your decision for the year, until June 2010. The choices are these:

Question: What does it take to pull off some of the greatest pranks of all time on one Dwight K. Schrute (Rainn Wilson)?

Let's see...

Mustard-colored shirt, glasses and a calculator watch for under $11? Check.

Brushing up on all things bears, beets and Battlestar Galactica? Check.

Having the hookup with the vending machine guy? Check.

Sending faxes to Dwight? From himself? From the future? Check.

Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) has gone above and beyond to mastermind the tricks he's played on Dwight over the past five seasons. And NBC must have read our minds because just as we started our tedious search around YouTube for the best Dwim/Jwight clips, it put together a list of its own.

In a new ABC promo, Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) is seen playing foosball with network stars Derek (Patrick Dempsey, Grey's Anatomy), Jules (Courteney Cox, Cougar Town) and Jay (Ed O'Neil, Modern Family). Yes, we said Charlie, which raises the question: Is he back for the sixth and final season of Lost?

Dominic's publicist would only say this: "He may or may not be returning to Lost. Viewers will just have to stay tuned."

In the promo, Derek jokes, "You're so dead," to which Charlie replies, "Actually, I was." Key word: was! Are they just playing with us, or is his return for real?

They told us all along that every generation has its own vampire slayer, we just didn't think it would come so soon.

News that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is being relaunched into a movie has sent the Whedonverse into hysterics. Why? Word on the street is that neither Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, nor any of the other beloved characters who appeared in the WB-UPN series (Willow, Xander, Spike or Angel), are set to appear in the planned remake. For that matter, the people who own the movie rights are moving forward without original screenwriter and series show runner Joss Whedon, which sounds like a formula for, well...ahem. You can tell us in the comments how that sounds.

Are you excited for a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie or are you already rallying against this remake? Take our poll below and then hit the comments with your rants opinions about why this is a good or bad idea.
