I want some Parks and Recreation news, STAT! — John
NATALIE: Is a Pawnee progeny on the way? It would make sense, now that Ben and Leslie are tying the knot. But then why is Ann looking at sperm donors? "She's on this whole self-discovery kick and she is exploring all of her options for her future," executive producer Mike Schur tells us. Who else thinks that Jean-Ralphio will be involved somehow?

On paper, Julie Chen and Sharon Osbourne — the queen bees of CBS' girly gabfest The Talk — couldn't be more different.
