Mercy
Why so many nursing shows lately? It may be the economy's fault.
Showtime's Nurse Jackie and TNT's HawthoRNe will soon be joined by NBC's new drama Mercy. It's just another sign that the recession has turned networks' attention from upscale doctors and lawyers to the pink-collar workers who didn't always get their due on the air.

Carrie Underwood by Gregg DeGuire/ WireImage.com
Oh, to remember the days when you got the hook by way of CB radio....American Idol Carrie Underwood tells TV's Extra that she and Chace Crawford snuffed their months-old romance through a series of text messages, claiming, "It was completely mutual. It just didn't work... and we both knew it. No hard feelings whatsoever." Underwood goes on to say that she hasn't talked to Chace "in a while, but I don't dislike him."Spoke too soon? The New York Post's Page Six reports that Crawford has quickly moved on, and was spied "flirting heavily" with new Gossip Girl Michelle Trachtenberg on Saturday at the SoHo hot spot Upstairs. "They were all over each other," an onlooker tells the tab. — MWM

James Marsters, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Joss Whedon by Kevin Parry/WireImage.com
Joss Whedon couldn’t contain himself. So jazzed that his landmark musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was being screened at the legendary Cinerama Dome theater (site of this year’s awesome Paley Fest), he sneaked into the audience to watch one of the numbers before rejoining that old gang of his for group photos before taking the stage for a retrospective Q&A (moderated by yours truly). Like me, I think he would have rather just sat in the theater to drink it in. But there was catching up to do.I’ve finally met someone whose passion for musicals outstrips mine (if only because he’s genius enough to be able to write one). The reason Joss arrived too late to set up the screening (following my own opening remarks) was because he came straight from wrapping production of his next musical project: Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, an entirely independent made-for-Internet (but no word yet on where you’ll find it) musical-comedy, conceived during...

Michelle Trachtenberg by Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.com and Gossip Girl's Blake Lively by Eric Liebowitz/The CW
Guess that pesky financial i$$ue worked itself out after all: I can now reveal that not only was Michelle Trachtenberg the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumna to whom I alluded in today's AA, but a deal has been sealed for her to join Gossip Girl. And even though probably every other starlet in Hollywood under the age of 30 had to be salivating over the prospect of playing Georgina Sparks, a troublemaker from Serena's past who makes Blair look about as dangerous as Donna Martin, I think the CW's casting department nailed it. (C'mon, Buffy's sis was always one prickly pear!) For that matter, Trachtenberg lucked out, too: Could there be a more entertaining way for a young actress to make her comeback than by playing an adolescent Cruella? Didn't think so.So what do you think? Is there someone you would have preferred to see snag the plum part? Don't be shy — discuss away. — Additional reporting by Ben Katner
