You raised the question last week, so answer it. Will there be a Visitor-human birth on V? — Jim
MICKEY: We already know that Morris Chestnut's Ryan Nichols has a human lovah, but I'm hearing that a different human-V coupling will produce a bouncing baby reptile. Morena Baccarin, who plays Anna, the creepy-hot leader of the Visitors, is coy on the matter, but says it's definitely a possibility. There's your breaking news, Chad Decker.
V: Sit down with Visitors' leader Morena Baccarin

Ted Kennedy, Elisabeth Moss
There are good and bad ways to look back. Comparing one's self to Michael Jackson: bad. Taking a thoughtful look at one of the most influential Americans: good. Cheeky references to classic horror movies: we don't know, but a lot of fun. Welcome to our Top Moments, nostalgic edition.
6. Worst Crash: While Rescue Me's Tommy and family revel in their drunkenness at the bar, the consequences of their choices strike like a semi — when a semi really does hit. Sure, we saw Ellie's car crash (and presumed death) coming as soon as she left the bar, but the scene was still powerful and uncomfortable to watch.

Katie Couric
Prime time better watch its back: Not only will Jay Leno soon snag the 10 pm hour on NBC, but Katie Couric will borrow an 8 pm slot Wednesday for a special broadcast of The CBS Evening News.
The show isn't leaving its normal 6:30 pm position. But network executives hope Couric's raid on prime time will showcase her strengths and help her snag more viewers earlier in the evening. CBS has been third in nightly news ratings since more than a decade before Couric arrived at the network in September 2006, but is the most-watch network in prime time.

Britney Spears, Katie Couric, Christina Aguilera
Is there nothing that television can't make us do? Britney Spears did her best impression of a pop star, making us doubt her icon status. She didn't say a word, but Katie Couric — for a moment — made us forget the real news. And Christina Aguilera did what we thought was impossible: She made us fall in love with the Grammys again. Check out our Top Moments of the week ...

Katie Couric by Andrew Eccles/CBS
Veteran newswoman Katie Couric says that she and Sen. Hillary Clinton have had their career trajectories stymied by sexism, which she claims is more tolerated than racism.Positing that she, as the anchor of CBS Evening News, is competing "in the last bastion of male dominance," Couric tells the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, "Sexism in American society is more common than racism, and certainly more acceptable or forgivable."Couric's apparent comparison of sexism to racism has drawn some fire, prompting her spokesperson to clear up something that perhaps was "lost in translation" by the Israeli news outlet. "Katie wouldn't, and didn't, say that sexism is more prevalent than racism," her rep tells the New York Daily News. "Her point was that sexism seems more tolerated."Even Couric's sexism claim has been called into question, with experts noting that firefighting, the military and police work still present significant hurdles to women — and certainly not with the cushy pay of TV new...
