Uh, oh. Jealousy may be rearing its ugly head in the coming season of The Office. Writer/actress Mindy Kaling (who plays the hilariously annoying Kelly on the show) revealed to TVGuide.com's Erin Fox that the scribes are dabbling with the idea of Ryan having an about face in light of the whole Kelly-Darryl thing going on.

Mindy Kaling, who brilliantly portrays boy-crazed, pop culture obsessed airhead Kelly Kapoor on NBC's The Office, will be traveling to Dunder Mifflin's hometown of Scranton, Penn. to officiate "The Office Games," on July 19. Scranton, besides hosting a day of events inspired by the show including a 2K race, a trivia challenge and beet eating contest, will also be the first city to offer the new The Office DVD Board Game and a separate The Office Trivia Game. (Dear Santa, I know what I want for Christmas!).My inner Office fan saw this news and immediately looked up train fares to Scranton, PA. So did my outer Office fan — after all, I do wear a t-shirt featuring Jim's famous "stapler in yellow jell-O mold" around NYC. Some look confused, others high-five me. Would you go to "The Office Games" if you could? — Erin FoxRelated• Amy Ryan Returns to Office• Use Our Online Video Guide to Watch More The Office

Hey, all you Office drunks! Did I stutter? I mean, hey all of you drunk on The Office. I am the only drunk in the office. It is like being drunk with laughter, the Office fans say. I have been getting the wildest fan mail lately. I have recently received an artist rendering of a Big Gulp in my honor. I have been sent airplane bottles of liquor. I have gotten flasks in the mail.

I was incredibly flattered and surprised. (Who would risk that bar bill?) I politely declined on the RSVP card but I will be with them in spirits. Oops. I mean in spirit. (Last year, as I was walking thru the lobby of the Four Seasons in Philadelphia, I was pulled into some wedding photos of the bridal party. I know they didn't plan that.)The next episode is called "Did I Stutter?" Stanley (aka the very dry Leslie...

Episode Recap: Branch Wars (November 1, 2007)Jim has spent the past few weeks punch drunk happy over finally getting together with Pam. So it figures that karma is ready to pay him back by putting him through hell tonight. First he gets manipulated into taking the worst car ride I’ve ever seen on The Office (and considering how many times Michael Scott has gone on a long journey while annoying the bejeezus out of his passengers, that’s really saying something). And by the end of the half-hour he’s face to face with his ex-girlfriend and you can almost hear him praying that he could just disappear.The last time Joss Whedon directed an episode of The Office it was, ironically, the one where Dwight fought a vampire bat. (Whedon swore that was just a coincidence and that the episode was written before he came in to direct). But in some ways this episode (written by Mindy Kaling, who also plays Kelly) is an even better fit for Whedon’s talents: he’s a master at t...
