News nuggets to get you through your mid-morning slump.

• Just in case you had regained your will to live during the hiatus, news comes that Bravo has renewed "Real Housewives of Orange County." I'm sure the new season will feature twice the brow lifts, twice the horse tranquilizers, and twice the glamorous mascara-running meltdowns.
• Fans of The Sopranos really shouldn't expect anything less.  James Gandolfini had to have knee surgery, so the entire next season will be delayed by two months.  Considering the epic gap before this previous season, I can't imagine people are counting the days.
• Could it be a scandalous return to reading?  Last week was TVs lowest-rated week in recorded history.  You know it's bad when America's Got Talent was the lone show with more than 10 million viewers.
• Holy crap!  One of the models on Project Runway, Jia Santos, was hit by a bus while riding her bike to the show's location in NYC.  According to her manager, "She fractured her skull and her eye socket and was in critical condition for three days. Now she has been in intensive care for a month."
• New shows are in store for the wildly unimpressive LOGO network.  Allegedly, they are going to try to have some original content, as opposed to running reruns of Tales of the City 24 hours a day.  One of them, I swear to God, is called The Gay Ghost and "revolves around the lives of a conservative family whose lives are changed when they discover that a gay ghost named Cosmo is living in the closet of their new home."  Is every episode going to involve the family matriarch getting dressed and hearing a voice behind her say "girl, tell me you aren't going out like that"?  Then she whips around and *gasp* there's no one there!
