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 have gotten strange photos of me doing the limbo on the "Booze Cruise" episode. (How low can ya go?) This tops all! Some soon-to-be-married fans actually invited Meredith to their wedding in Ohio. 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...

Jim is dreading a reunion with Karen. John Krasinski by Ron Tom/NBC.
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...

Hello, this is Kate Flannery, the boozy redhead from the best show on TV, The Office. OK, maybe not the best show, but the best ensemble of a comedy series, according to the Screen Actors Guild. We won, fans. We won, and itfeels good and crazy, and I'm sore. (That award weighs 35 pounds!)I am here to talk about "Ben Franklin," the episode airing this week. There is a shower for Phyllis, but the big news is... Meredith yells at Angela!!!!! A new moody Meredith moment. Can you say alcoholic? I knew you could. How about that, sports fans? This is a funny episode written by Mindy Kaling aka Kelly Kapoor. It was fun to tell my old pal Angela to shut up. I am contractually obligated to keep my mouth shut, but they are showing this clip in the promos, so I'm cool.The new episodes have been a lot of fun to shoot — especially because we just found out that we are going to be back for a full fourth season. Ahh, job security. It keeps me very grateful.Speaking of grateful... we won a SAG...

Season's greetings from Kate Flannery! The Office presents its new, one-hour Christmas episode this week!Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming! The Office Christmas episode is twice as nice! No, I am not referring to my boobs. (It was last season's "Christmas Party" episode when the drunken Meredith went topless in Michael's office.) No, no, it's twice as nice because it's a full hourlong episode. I can't count how many fans have written me on MySpace or commented here at TVGuide.com and said the words, "I wish The Office was an hour." Well? Let me quote Dwight K. Schrute by saying, "It's a Christmas miracle!" This is the deal: It was a fake goose. No goose was hit by Dwight K. Schrute. No birds were killed. Get this: The Office starts at 8 pm/ET instead of 8:30 this week! Set your TiVo or DVR or DVD-burner or VCR or your Greg Brady-style tape recorder (a method I used as a child in the '70s when there was no alternative, except maybe writing it all down as fast as humanly possib...

Jenna Fischer thinks that this week's episode of The Office [Thursdays at 8:30 pm/ET, on NBC] is the best yet, and I concur! Yes, I'm Kate Flannery. Thank you. Thank you so much. I play the drunken redhead on the show, who seems to be the favorite of many folks. There is so much I want to share with you, so much I want to tell, but I am contractually obligated to keep my big, fat mouth shut. Now, in case you hadn't noticed, the words "branch" and "closing" are in the title of this week's episode. Kind of gives it away, right? So, let me just say that the downsizing issue of the first two seasons is nothing compared to this.Jenna speaks more freely about it in her MySpace.com blog: "You must catch our show this Thursday night. I've already seen it, and it is the best one we've ever done. I'm not kidding. Michael finds out that the Scranton branch is being shut down. He and Dwight go to New York to try to save the branch. The stuff they do together is the absolute funniest thing ever ...

"Who is this crazy gringo, and what is he talking about?" Once again, Michael Scott craps all over his own chance at happiness by being himself — and once again, it's painfully funny to watch. So here's my question: Do you think he proposed to Remax because he was caught up in the sheer romance of the Diwali festivities (the mingling scent of curry and odor-eaters, the glint of twinkle lights off the gymnasium floor... ), because he was moved to an irrepressible state of longing by the throw-yourself-on-the-fire kind of love shared by Kelly's parents, or simply because he was just that desperate to try out Page 97 of the culturally explicit Kama Sutra? No matter — it all ended in a hailstorm of classic Michael awkwardness, from the attempt to drown his sorrows in a rebuffed kiss with Pam, to the backseat-ride-home revelation that he'd left the party with somebody else's shoes.This might be a strange observation, but I was sort of impressed that an episode seemingly centere...
