Michaele Salahi
Michaele Salahi and husband Tareq, who gained infamy by allegedly crashing a White House state dinner, now are at the center of a story in which he initially thought she was kidnapped when she actually ran off with a rock star.
On Wednesday, Tareq was concerned that his wife had been abducted after she called from an unfamiliar number and said she was going to her mother's house, but never showed. "We are asking the public to please be on the lookout for her, and if found please approach her and contact the authorities to intervene and that she may be forced to say she is OK, when in fact she is not and being held under possible abduction," he said.

Fringe, Breaking Bad
There's no laugh like an unexpected laugh. But this week was filled with them, as such unlikely sources as unhappy employees, CSPAN, and a debate about the Fourth Amendment provided doses of mordant comedy. Of course, we also got our usual, predictably solid joy from Cougar Town and a celebrity sing-along — plus a shockingly poignant moment from... The Hills? We can hardly believe it ourselves. Welcome to Top Moments: Ode to Joy Edition.

James Gandolfini and David Chase by Theo Wargo/WireImage.com
Shrugging off the uproar over Sunday night's nationwide "blackout" — aka The Sopranos' series finale — show creator David Chase says, "I have no interest in explaining, defending, reinterpreting or adding to what is there." In a debriefing by the Newark Star-Ledger, Chase continues, "No one was trying to be audacious" by ending the series in mid-scene, leaving Tony's fate entirely up in the air. "We did what we thought we had to do. No one was trying to blow people's minds or thinking, 'Wow, this'll [tick] them off.'"As for speculation that the vague finale is the setup for a big-screen continuance, Chase says, "I never say never. An idea could pop into my head. But I doubt it."On a related and musical note, Journey was "jumping up and down" upon learning their "Don't Stop Believin'" would score the final scenes. As keyboardist Jonathan Cain tells the AP, "It was better than anything I would have ever--." Oops, I cut him off mid-sentence. Happens.UPDATE: Sunday's finale dr...

Benjamin McKenzie and Peter Gallagher, The O.C.
The O.C.Here's the thing: References back to Season 1 are ridiculously enjoyable. In fact, I always like a show that doesn't forget its history. But this also creates a slight issue: When you bring back Ryan's mom and flash back to scenes of the big fire that burned down Ryan's hideout, I turn all nostalgic for what I believe was a perfect year of must-O.C. TV. Did you catch Ryan's first-year 'do? I loved his hair then. I don't mind saying I want that hair back. And the emotionally damaged kid was a brooder in the best sense — he hadn't turned all pseudo-adult, doing things like picking up Marissa at public school. Ah, good times, good times. When I snapped out of my own personal flashback, I realized that Marissa just fell down some steps. Maybe it has something to d
