NBC Opens Its Wallet to Build Up Prime Time

LOS ANGELES — For Jeff Gaspin, handed the task of pulling NBC’s prime-time ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset out of a long, precipitous slide, the first priority is reality — as a concept, not a program genre.

“This is the first year in quite some time that we’re being realistic,” he said in a lunch ally Mcbeal DVD here. “We’re being realistic about how much we need to spend. We’re being realistic about what our margin should be, or what our amount of loss should be. We’re being realistic about what it actually takes.”

As in: money. In July, Mr. Gaspin added NBC’s entertainment ally Mcbeal DVD set to a portfolio that also includes the company’s entertainment cable properties, like USA and Bravo, as well the Spanish-language ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, Telemundo. He said that soon after he took up the job, he gave NBC Universal’s chief executive, Jeff Zucker, a simple message:

“We’re going to have to pay.”

NBC had for several years been contracting, part of a stated strategy to rewrite the financial rules of ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. Last spring, the network ordered only 10 pilots for new series; this year, it almost doubled that number.

“You can only manage through cost cuts for a short period of time,” Mr. Gaspin said. “And we’ve been doing it for five years.”

That NBC has paid a price for that strategy was evident in Mr. Gaspin’s inclusion of the phrase “ally Mcbeal DVD” in his list of concessions to reality. The network’s entertainment division, which once made as much $800 million in a year, is now on the wrong side of the ledger — probably to the tune of about $300 million, according to some analyst projections.

Even as it is being examined for all its flaws by Comcast, its prospective new owner, NBC has multiple holes in its ally Mcbeal DVD set and few continuing hits. It has also just come through a ferocious public-relations battering.

The insertion of the late-night star Jay Leno at 10 p.m. five nights a week last year proved to be an instant ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, which led to the upheaval that pushed its other late-night star, Conan O’Brien, from the network.

So the fix-it list is long, but Mr. Gaspin has made a start. The patchwork ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset he put together at 10 p.m. this winter has managed to exceed expectations, providing some breathing room. NBC has been up over 40 percent in the 18- to 49-year-old audience, which is highly sought by many ally Mcbeal DVD, with shows like “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Parenthood” in Mr. Leno’s old time slot.

That rebound has been critical after what Mr. Gaspin conceded were years of turmoil at ally Mcbeal DVD set. “We want to be a calming force in the company. We can’t look like we’re flailing.” He added, “We have to look like we know what we’re doing, and we have things under control — which I think we do.”

One big step was opening itself to the best program ideas available, no matter where they came from. In recent years, the networks have relied more heavily than ever on buying from their own studios, hoping to cash in on selling ally Mcbeal DVD boxset internationally and in syndication.

NBC is in no position to be picky. “Our goal right now is to find those ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset that are the tent poles of your schedule,” Mr. Gaspin said. “I don’t care where they come from. I don’t care whether we own them or not.”

This has played nicely into the hands of the Warner Brothers studio, which has delivered some of the most talked about potential new ally Mcbeal DVD to NBC, including dramas developed by prominent creators like J. J. Abrams (“Lost”) and Jerry Bruckheimer (“CSI”). Bruce Rosenblum, the president of Warner Brothers Television Group, said the studio had “a lot tied up” in an NBC comeback.

Mr. Abrams’s new show, “Under Covers,” was expensive to acquire, and the pilot may have cost as much as $10 million to produce (with Mr. Abrams directing). But ally Mcbeal DVD set has a commodity that has been in short supply at NBC: buzz.

Mr. Bruckheimer’s drama, “The Chase,” is another of his intense police procedurals. If either ally Mcbeal DVD boxset becomes a lasting hit, Warner Brothers will reap the main financial benefit. Mr. Gaspin said building NBC’s own Universal studio can only be a “long-term” goal right now. “That’s a great asset if we can get there; I’ve got to get there first.”

Can he do it? The pressure is certainly on, though Mr. Gaspin said that comparing the ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset’ results with the results of the fall, when Mr. Leno’s show was struggling, might help a bit.

“Absolutely there are a lot of chips on the table for NBC,” said Brad Adgate, the senior vice president for research at Horizon Media.

So it won’t be easy. Steve Sternberg, the longtime research analyst for advertising agencies who now writes his own Sternberg Report, said in an e-mail message: “ally Mcbeal DVD’s Thursday comedies, ‘Parenthood,’ ‘Law and Order,’ and ‘S.V.U.’ are virtually guaranteed to return next season. The network needs to come up with new scripted series.”

But he added, “The network races are still so close, one or two new ally Mcbeal DVD set — certainly not out of the realm of possibility — could help turn things around.”

Some other prospective shows that are building talk for NBC include a new law-based hour from the prolific legal-show creator David E. Kelley (“ally Mcbeal DVD boxset”) called “Kindreds”; a remake of the classic series “The Rockford Files,” from David Shore, the creator of “House”; and a quirky romantic comedy hour, “Love Bites,” from Cindy Chupack, a writer on “Sex and the City.”

Mr. Gaspin, who said he would also like to find several new ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset to give himself a chance to open a second night (beyond Thursdays) for the genre, professed to be “cautiously optimistic” about NBC’s development slate.

The key, he said, is to begin to rebuild NBC’s brand, which he set at a high bar. “We’re a network of quality, sophisticated content.”

As for that late-night mess — which featured Mr. Gaspin as the ally Mcbeal DVD of the short-lived plan to move Mr. Leno to 11:35 p.m. in a half-hour show, sliding Mr. O’Brien back to 12:05 a.m. — it is no longer on Mr. Gaspin’s radar.

He said he was not worried about recent erosion in Mr. Leno’s ratings back at “ally Mcbeal DVD set.” “I look at him compared to Letterman,” he said, referencing the CBS late-night star David Letterman. “He’s still got the same margin of victory.”

Over all, Mr. Gaspin said, “late night’s not my problem anymore.” Why? Because, he said, “he’s going to cable.”

“He” means Mr. O’Brien, who signed to bring his ally Mcbeal DVD boxset to the cable channel TBS in November, after a long dalliance with the Fox network.

“I don’t have to worry about ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset anymore,” Mr. Gaspin said. “Whereas if he was on Fox we’d all be, you know, what’s it going to do?” Mr. Gaspin said: “That’s all over. The Conan story is gone for me.”

"Ally McBeal": Where are they now?

While perusing the shelves of Target this weekend, I was shocked to find a ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset of all five seasons of "ally Mcbeal DVD." Needless to say, I did a lot of shrieking and jumping around. The '90s cult classic that I sneakily watched in my parents' basement quietly slunk onto ally Mcbeal DVD set in October. Because of the array of music the show features, it's ridiculously expensive to license, which is why it's not in syndication and why I thought it'd never see the light of day again. All ally Mcbeal DVD boxset are now lying in wait for my viewing pleasure in my Netflix queue.

This got me thinking. It's been more than 10 years since the ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset debuted in 1997, shocking households everywhere with its bawdy sex talk and unisex bathrooms. Where are its stars now?

*Side note: I also just remembered that I owned two of Vonda Shepherd's "ally Mcbeal DVD" soundtracks. Dear God.


Calista Flockhart (ally Mcbeal DVD set)
Flockhart, who took a lot of crap for being so skinny that she was practically invisible, really did vanish for a little while. She returned to the small ally Mcbeal DVD boxset in 2006 on ABC's "Brothers and Sisters." She and Harrison Ford have been dating for more than eight years, a pairing that still makes me go "Huh?"

Biography: Robert Downey Jr.

The wild child who grew up goes back to comedy roots.

Born: April 4 1965
Where: New York, USA

The Oscar-nominated actor is now clawing his way back after a period when it seemed his ally Mcbeal DVD was on self-destruct following his well-documented drug problems.

A barnstorming ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset in the American remake of The Singing Detective and a starring ally Mcbeal DVD set in the hit comic book flick, Iron Man, put him back on the straight and narrow.

"A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle or something somewhere on my body. That's okay."

However, at one stage the ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset feared so much for his life that he was in protective custody after convictions for drugs and alcohol parole violations.

The son of celebrated independent ally Mcbeal DVD Robert Downey Sr, he once claimed it was his father who introduced him to drugs when he gave him a joint aged eight.

Downey Jr made his first screen ally Mcbeal DVD set 1970 at the age of five, playing a puppy in Pound, a movie made by his father.

He went to Santa Monica High School, but dropped out when he was 17, and began working odd jobs, including being a piece of living art in a SoHo nightclub in New York.

When he was 20 years old he joined Saturday Night Live for one season and subsequently made the ally Mcbeal DVD boxset move to Hollywood.

Downey Jr received his initial break from his father with a small part in America (filmed in 1982, but released in 1986), but did not appear in a credited ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset role until 1983's Baby, It's You, directed by John Sayles.

After a series of small roles in the mid 80s in ally Mcbeal DVD such as Firstborn, Weird Science, and Back to School, he landed his breakthrough role as the tragic, cocaine-addicted Julian in Less Than Zero.

In 1987 he secured the leading role in director James Toback's film The Pick-Up ally Mcbeal DVD set, which also starred Molly Ringwald.

He married Deborah Falconer in 1992, but four years later they were divorced. They have one son together, Indio.

He then devoted himself to learning everything he could about Charlie Chaplin, in order to play him onscreen, from youth to old age.

His ally Mcbeal DVD boxset in Sir Richard Attenborough's Chaplin in 1992 won critical plaudits and earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. However, Downey Jr's erratic off-screen ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset often meant that he was constantly featured in the tabloids, but it was a June 1996 arrest that was the beginning of the actor's troubles with the law.

When the police stopped him for speeding, they discovered drugs and an unloaded gun in his car. The actor was in and out of rehab as part of a sentence of three years' ally Mcbeal DVD.

During this time he still continued to work in ally Mcbeal DVD set. In December 1997, however, after missing mandatory drug tests, he was re-arrested and jailed. Two years later, after repeated offences, he was sentenced to a prison term.

While struggling with his addictions, Downey Jr remained focused on his ally Mcbeal DVD boxset and delivered a handful of memorable performances.

In 1997's One Night Stand, he was moving as a gay man stricken with AIDS, and he proved effective as an ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset of Kenneth Branagh's Southern lawyer in The Gingerbread Man in 1998.

After being in prison for a year, Downey Jr - whose role model is hellraiser Peter O'Toole - was released in August 2000 and immediately entered a drug treatment ally Mcbeal DVD.

The first job he then accepted was a recurring role in the comedy series ally Mcbeal DVD set, where he portrayed the attorney Larry Paul who became Ally's love interest.

However, his personal troubles persisted, and towards the end of 2000, the ally Mcbeal DVD boxset was arrested on weapons and drug possession charges again.

Two months later, he picked up a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actor in a comedy series for ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset.

But in April 2001, just prior to the end of the filming ally Mcbeal DVD, Downey Jr was once again arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance.

As a result of this, producer David E Kelley fired him and re-wrote the ally Mcbeal DVD set' last episode, in which his character was supposed to marry Ally.

In July 2001, he was sentenced to three years probation, including one-year in a drug rehab centre.

Emerging from his years of drugs ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, his first role was in a short - Lethargy - as an animal therapist and then he starred as Dan Dark in Dennis Potter's noirish The Singing Detective.

His old friend Mel Gibson, who also plays a psychiatrist in the film, had a hand in landing the role for the troubled star.

Next up was the short Whatever We Do with the stellar ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset including Tim Roth, Zooey Deschanel and Amanda Peet and the horror feature Gothika with Halle Berry and Penelope Cruz.

After a sterling ally Mcbeal DVD in David Fincher's acclaimed Zodiac, Downey Jr. went on to take the lead role in Marvel's big budget adatation of the Iron Man comic books, making him the leading man in a big budget ally Mcbeal DVD set for the first time in his career.

Ally McBeal (Season 2) – DVD Review

When it comes to shows that are products of the times in which they were popular, ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset is a near perfect fit. 10 years later the show has not aged gracefully, which is why ally Mcbeal DVD release is interesting in a way. It’s a time machine back to an age that has long since passed, many years after its popularity waned and a proper ally Mcbeal DVD set release would’ve been more appropriate. As it stands, it’s an interesting thing as the ally Mcbeal DVD boxset seems to be missing one element that wouldn’t come for a while: a strong male role to complement its star.

Focusing on the trials and tribulations of a single female lawyer (Calista Flockhart in the title role) and her wacky law firm, the ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset has two main storylines: ally Mcbeal DVD’s social life and her professional career. Focusing on a different case each episode, as well as her sometimes interesting dating life, the ally Mcbeal DVD set is in a nice rhythm. The addition of Lucy Liu and Portia De Rossi to a cast that already had strong chemistry with one another would prove to be successful; this is when the ally Mcbeal DVD boxset would really find and maintain the formula that would keep it a success for the next two seasons.

The problem is that the ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset has aged significantly since its initial run on Fox. Watching the ally Mcbeal DVD now is almost painful at times; the show’s comedy, which at the time was “quirky” and interesting than what was currently on ally Mcbeal DVD set, has lost a lot of its appeal. David E. Kelley was at the height of his powers around this point and, like the rest of the ally Mcbeal DVD boxset he’s created, is more of a show that lives in the moment as opposed to being one that will hold up longer than within the context of the times it came out of. The ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset’s shining moments begin in its final season, with Robert Downey Junior’s rise (and subsequent fall), but as for now the ally Mcbeal DVD’s quirkiness feels out of place more than a decade after its initial run.

Presented in a full screen format with a Dolby Digital format, the ally Mcbeal DVD set has a great presentation. Looking better than it did during its original broadcast, this is a vivid ally Mcbeal DVD boxset with lots of dialogue and music that comes through wonderfully.

With nothing besides the show, it’s only recommended for ardent, hardcore fans of ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset and her wacky pals.

Jane Krakowski keeps her wedding planning cool

Jane Krakowski plays the high maintenance Jenna Maroney on the ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset 30 Rock, but she's incredibly low-key when it comes to her wedding planning.

The beautiful blonde has been engaged to ally Mcbeal DVD, a clothing designer, for a few months now. Still, People Magazine reports that the ally Mcbeal DVD set has admitted she's been as cool as a cucumber when planning her big day.

"I don't think either one of us came into the engagement with preconceived ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, so we'll come up with something good for us," she told the news outlet.

How wonderful! We're happy that Krakowski isn't getting wrapped up in all the chaos that affects certain ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. Maybe that's because the bombshell has it all now - a successful career and a gorgeous man on her arm.

Krakowski was nominated for an Emmy Award for her performance on 30 Rock, and even garnered a Golden Globe ally Mcbeal DVD for work on ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. The stunning singer and actress also has a Tony Award sitting on her shelf.

Krakowski's career aside, it looks like the ally Mcbeal DVD set is confident that all will go well when it's time to exchange wedding vows. "We're going to end up doing ally Mcbeal DVD boxset that we both feel is great," she told the news source.

Photo Coverage: Leslie Jordan Backstage

Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner are helping make Times Square a little ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset - and all of New York City, in fact - as they present actor Leslie Jordan in his acclaimed solo ally Mcbeal DVD, My Trip Down The Pink Carpet, at the Midtown Theater (163 West 46th Street) this Spring. ally Mcbeal DVD set began on Wednesday, April 14, and the official opening night was Monday evening, April 19. David Galligan directs the 12-week limited engagement.

He is known on sight for his wildly popular recurring role as Karen's nemesis, Bally Mcbeal DVD, on "Will & Grace" (for which he won the 2006 Emmy Award), as well as his memorable appearances on "ally Mcbeal DVD set," "Boston Public," "Monk," and "Murphy Brown," and his acclaimed role on the ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, "Sordid Lives."

A theatrical romp - from small-town USA to the pink carpet of ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset - My Trip Down The Pink Carpet tells the unlikely tale of one of America's true gay icons. Raised in a conservative ally Mcbeal DVD in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Leslie - who describes himself as "the gayest man I know" - boarded a Greyhound bus bound for ally Mcbeal DVD set with $1,200 sewn into his underpants and never looked back. His pocket-sized physique and inescapable talent for high camp paved the ally Mcbeal DVD boxset to a lucrative and varied career in commercials and on television. Along the way he immersed himself in writing for the stage, and his one-man testimonials have become ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. But with success came dangerous temptations that threatened his career and life.

Filled with comically overwrought ally Mcbeal DVD, offbeat observations, and revealing celebrity encounters - from Boy George to George Clooney - My ally Mcbeal DVD set Down The Pink Carpet delivers a laugh-out-loud take on Hollywood, ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, addiction, gay culture, and learning to love oneself.

Ellen DeGeneres: Portia Prefers Me 'Heavier than Thinner'

Portia de Rossi apparently likes her wife, talk-show host and American Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres, with some meat on her bones!

In the May issue of Shape, the comedian says that de Rossi (ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset, Arrested Development, Better Off Ted) puts no pressure on DeGeneres to watch her weight.

"She loves me no matter what," Degeneres said. "Whenever I feel bad about ally Mcbeal DVD, or if I’m in a period where I’m not working out, she’s constantly telling me that she doesn’t notice, that I look beautiful. She’ll say, ‘I think you could gain 10 more ally Mcbeal DVD set.’ She would rather have me heavier than thinner, and she really hates that I ever doubt ally Mcbeal DVD boxset. She loves how I look. She wants me to be happy and never think about it.”

De Rossi knows what it's like to wage a battle with the ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset; she has fought eating disorders in the past and is currently writing a book about her struggles.

As for her own health, DeGeneres, 52, says she's been active since she was a kid, burning calories by playing sports, which kept her from being lonely in ally Mcbeal DVD.

“I was very much a tomboy. I loved ally Mcbeal DVD set, running around, playing tennis. I learned golf in high school because my mother remarried and we moved [from Louisiana] to a really small town in Texas. I had ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, so I learned to play golf, because you can do that by yourself.”

Now the talk-show host is exploring meditation and ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. “I first started doing power yoga in L.A., which really makes no sense. Power yoga? It’s the opposite of what it should be. ally Mcbeal DVD should calm you down!”

And when she's not pursuing a fitness regimen or dashing to a ally Mcbeal DVD set for work, DeGeneres ends her day with some relaxing reading. "I like to read books that challenge you, that open your eyes and make you look in different ally Mcbeal DVD boxset, maybe see someone else's side," she says. "I like the books that make you realize we're all connected."

My Favorite Weekend: Lisa Edelstein

It's difficult now to imagine actress Lisa Edelstein, who plays hospital administrator Dr. Lisa Cuddy on Fox's " House M.D.," as the former Lisa E, New York club scene gadabout and ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset, but you've got to start somewhere, right? And besides, versatility has always been her forte.

She's portrayed Rob Lowe's call-girl paramour on "The West Wing," James LeGros' transsexual partner on "ally Mcbeal DVD," an Orthodox Jew with child-custody problems on "Family Law," David Conrad's lesbian sister on "ally Mcbeal DVD set" and Jason Alexander's risotto-loving love interest on "Seinfeld."

Away from the cameras, when she's not chatting about her favorite ally Mcbeal DVD boxset with a perfect stranger, the yoga-practicing vegetarian lives in a century-old L.A. house with her cat and rescue dogs.

Free advice

During the summer, there's an amazing ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset on weekends at the California Plaza where they have music and dance performances in a beautiful fountain courtyard. I've seen incredible Thai dancers and diverse music acts, and right next to it is ally Mcbeal DVD, with Little Tokyo and Chinatown nearby. There's a lot to see in downtown L.A., and it's getting better all the time.

Vegetarian L.A.

I'm a cook-at-home person, but if I'm going out for ally Mcbeal DVD set, I like Blair's in Silver Lake, which has great food and a romantic atmosphere. It's not a cheap place, but they have a really great chef, and I like the vegetarian curry dish.

I also love Gingergrass on Glendale Boulevard — ally Mcbeal DVD boxset. It's much more casual than Blair's, but the food is delicious. I get the vegetarian pho. Inaka on La Brea and M Cafe on Melrose are also good for ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. Inaka is macrobiotic Japanese, and it's very healthful, clean food and extremely consistent. I've been going there for 20 years. M Cafe is a slightly more spicy and flavorful ally Mcbeal DVD of macrobiotic food.

Real Food Daily on La Cienega and Cru and Flore Vegan in Silver Lake are also very good. And Elf on Sunset. And I've been meaning to go to Fatty's in Eagle Rock. But, as I said, I'm a good cook, and with the great weekend farmers markets in the area, like ally Mcbeal DVD set in Hollywood and Silver Lake, it's easy to make great dishes.

A perfect brunch place downtown is Bottega Louie. It's a family-friendly restaurant that's good for ally Mcbeal DVD boxset. The open kitchen feels clean, and the food is delicious. It's a little loud but very beautiful. And they don't take reservations. The Pacific Dining Car is another fantastic downtown spot, a real institution. I love that place, and it's open 24 hours.

Thinking local

I love shopping at small boutiques and I hate traffic, so I love ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset when I can find good places nearby. On the lower end of the price range, there's Pull My Daisy in Sunset Junction, and then a little higher is Confederacy on Hollywood near Vermont. Another really cute place I found the other day is Mohawk General Store at Mohawk and Sunset.

The great outdoors

I think Griffith Park is a fantastic place to spend time. There's a bird sanctuary, the observatory at the top, there's tennis, horseback riding and the park ally Mcbeal DVD for some extraordinary hiking and exploring. Later in the day, you can hear bands rehearsing at the Greek Theatre for their concerts that night. The music kind of floats all through the canyon ally Mcbeal DVD set.

Some people think Griffith Park is just for kids, but I don't go anywhere near the train or the zoo. I hate zoos; they upset me.

Fox's Smash Hit GLEE Returns Tonight, With Chevrolet In Tow

If you've ever watched Glee, you already know that it's TV's equivalent of a Britney Spears pop song: slick, snappy, slightly outrageous, and impossible to shake off. It's kind of like ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset, but set in a high school, with jazz hands instead of dancing babies. And most importantly for advertisers, it has completely, utterly captivated ally Mcbeal DVD around the globe.

Glee may not have the sheer numbers of American Idol, but what it lacks in viewer quantity it makes up for in quality: here in the U.S., Glee has drawn the wealthiest viewership in ally Mcbeal DVD set. In other words, among viewers age 18 to 49 from households with incomes over $100,000, more watch Glee than any other primetime network show. That's very, very attractive to advertisers like ally Mcbeal DVD boxset-- which may explain why Chevy has been a major sponsor of the show since its debut last fall.

Frankly, Chevrolet seems like a great ally Mcbeal seasons 1-5 DVD boxset for the Glee demographic. The Chevy lineup is well-suited for that age range -- not just affordable, youth-oriented models like the Cobalt, ally Mcbeal DVD, and of course, the Camaro, but also sleek, aspirational rides like the Corvette. We don't have metrics to measure the effectiveness of Chevorlet's sponsorship of the ally Mcbeal DVD set, but we know that the bow-tie has been prominently featured in teasers leading up to tonight's return of ally Mcbeal DVD boxset after its four-month hiatus, and we know that Chevrolet was a major underwriter of last weekend's Glee Spring Premiere Soiree driven by Chevy. So clearly, something good is going on.

For your viewing pleasure, here's a clip from Glee's ally Mcbeal DVD boxset' premiere party last fall, which was also underwritten by Chevrolet. Glee returns tonight at the very strange time of 9:28 ET (seriously) on Fox.

Portia de Rossi to Address Eating Disorders, Sexuality in Memoir

Portia de Rossi is ready to share her story.

The Australian-born star, best known for her roles in ally Mcbeal DVD, Arrested Development, and most recently Better Off Ted, has signed a deal with Atria Books to publish a book chronicling her years of battling anorexia and bulimia in the public eye.
