Senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich and Mickey O'Connor field your burning questions!I'm desperate to know, is James Denton (Mike) coming back to Desperate Housewives? And are they leaving Gaby frumpy? — Barbara Matt Mitovich: As teased by this Mega Minute and confirmed here, Denton is coming back – in some sort of capacity. As for Gabrielle staying "frumpy," 1) Eva undoubtedly takes great offense to that characterization, and 2), let's just say that Gabs "won't be herself" this season. Can you please tell me when during Season 8 Kristin Kreuk will be back on Smallville? And how many episodes will Lana be in? — IanMatt: At this early point, all I can say is that KK will not be back for the season opener, since that eppy is already chock full of Justice Leaguing goodness. Kristin will be back, though, for multiple episodes (or specifically five, if this Canadian version of ET is to be believed).Is Amber really dead on House? I hope it was just a dream that House had. ...

Molly RIngwald, The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Molly Ringwald tackles a new kind of Brat Pack in the ABC Family drama The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which premieres tonight at 8 pm/ET on ABC Family.
There's a Republican in the White House. Skinny jeans are in. Molly Ringwald is starring in a teen drama. No, it's not 1984. The face of '80s adolescent angst makes a comeback playing mom to a pregnant 15-year-old in ABC Family's sobering new series The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
It's familiar turf for Ringwald, who played an expecting high schooler in the 1988 film For Keeps. "Teen pregnancy has existed long before now," says the 40-year-old actress. "[The difference is that] it's not that private anymore. We're more open to talking about it now."
For that, we can thank a certain sneaker-and-hoodie wearing teen named Juno. But Secr

ABC Family on Wednesday announced casting for its new, as-yet-untitled series from 7th Heaven creator Brenda Hampton (which, in case you're curious, is currently referred to as the "Untitled Brenda Hampton Project"). Not only has the show signed on Smallville's John Schneider (Jonathan Kent) and Oz's Ernie Hudson (Leo Glynn), but also the former Sixteen-year-old America loved, Molly Ringwald. The series, to air this summer, will be a one-hour drama that — as Ausiello previously reported — centers on a family and their friends after 15-year-old Amy Nicholson becomes unexpectedly pregnancy (no, Diablo Cody is not signed on). The show's recurring cast members will also include newcomer Shailene Woodley (previously seen on The O.C.), Camille Winbush (The Bernie Mac Show) and Allen Evangelista (Zoey 101). How exciting will it be to see these new cast additions together? We'll have to wait for the drama to unfold. — Anna Dimond

The West Wing There was radioactive — and political — fallout in the air with tonight's Three Mile Island-meets-Hurricane Katrina scenario. In a classic example of West Wing wish fulfillment, we got to see how the Bartlet Administration might handle a massive national disaster. In a word: well. From the emergency's get-go, Bartlet took command with his "the buck stops with me" leadership style. (Hmmm, wonder what the writers were getting at there?) From venting the radiation to asking the engineers to keep working, to making the trip to the disaster site, POTUS was on top of his game. It was a good day's work, even if the prez was getting advice from Oz's Schillinger. With all that going on, Kate still had to keep track of that other China syndrome brewin
