Wow, and wow. I had just started getting some sleep after pondering all the theories that sprouted after last week's episode and now all this new information is guaranteed to give me a few more sleepless nights. Let's see, for starters Dick and Beaver are worth more dead than alive. Now which woman in their life is best described by a certain Kanye West tune? Kendall? Could be, she's made her money-grubbing motives clear from the very start. But would she really be willing to off an entire busload of kids for cash? Doesn't seem entirely likely to me, but stranger things have happened in Neptune. And Betina was also after Dick for the cash, which might give Dick a motive to send that bus careening over the cliff. Though he really does seem oblivious to everything, and he's just plain crass. ("Sometimes you don't need the prettiest horse, just the one who let's you ride bareback.") His other insults to the Asian physics instructor make me lean toward thinking he's ignorant — asking for C

It is great that all of the little comments over the last few weeks about Kelso's gay son finally amounted to something. Love the picture of the son and his boyfriend dressed like the Lone Ranger and Tonto. Is it wrong that I can easily imagine Turk and J.D. donning those same costumes... er, pajamas? Meanwhile, I'm still laughing out loud at the pink belly, the macho-man ultrasound and the "butt hamster" named Angie. But even better was that Janitor was planning on taking the dead animal in order to make a vest for his stuffed-squirrel collection. Crazy. I also am dying to play the game "Watch her leave." I know it is mean, but it looked like so much fun. Maybe it was just the excited look on Tom Cavanagh's face when he was goofing around with his TV bro. Then again, the excited look could be that he has a job since his short-lived show got the ax; I'm still sad about

Former General Hospital star Marisa Ramirez has joined The Young and the Restless in a new contract role. "I play Carmen Mesta, a powerful PR woman from New York," she tells TVGuide.com. "I'm there to help save Jabot Cosmetics during the company's crisis with tainted moisturizer. That's all I know so far, but I think a little bit of Latin flavor will be good for the show!"
Ramirez makes her
Restless debut on May 8. The Los Angeles native played bitchy supermodel Gia Campbell on
GH from 2000 to 2002. She has also dabbled in the horror/fantasy genre, appearing in the indie thriller
All Souls Day and costarring with
Skeet Ulrich in ABC's supernatural drama
Miracles.

“In 1972 a crack commando unit...” Oops, wrong show. But you can’t blame me, The Unit’s intro sounds eerily like The A-Team’s, which only makes it cooler in my book. And to paraphrase his highness Hannibal Smith, I love it when a show comes together, 'cause this baby has officially arrived. Last night's episode was tight — I honestly don't know which plot was more nerve-racking, the embassy op (the fellas) or the security leak (the ladies). I had no idea what Jonas was up to; I was totally convinced he'd blown the mission. I should've known better than to doubt our boys, because they pulled an op that would've made Jack Bauer proud. And exactly what percentage of Jonas' workday is spent telling various government agencies where they can stick it? Whatever it is, double it. Mad props to Colonel Tom for using the scrunching-up-paper trick to fake static on the call with the CIA stooge — that old chestnut has gotten me through many a relationship and more than a coupl

And now for today's classiest Soaps News item: Heidi Fleiss (aka the infamous "Hollywood Madam") has tapped a former soap actor to join the stable of studs at her new all-male brothel in Pahrump, Nev. Per GlitteratiGossip.com, the services of Les Brandt — who played bad boy Rafael Santiero on Another World from 1995 to '96 — are available to female clients for just $250 an hour. "I love to love women," the website quotes Brandt as saying. "I always have. I've loved women for free so far, so why not get paid to do something that I really enjoy and am good at?"
OK, maybe I'm demented, but I wonder if Les would be willing to make love to
Crystal Gayle's
AW theme song, upon soap fans' request. "When I'm with you, you take me
awaaay to
Another World...."

Michael Douglas tells Extra he was misquoted in a GQ interview that had him questioning Brad Pitt's decision to dump you-know-who for you-know-lips. ("Leaving that beautiful wife to go hold orphans for Angelina? I mean, how long is that going to last?" the mag quoted Douglas as saying.) "I didn't say it," he reportedly told GQ, which responded with the statement, "We stand by [the quotes] 100 percent. For him to suggest we made them up is laughable."
