Rod Blagojevich
Rod Blagojevich can't get out of Chicago to get Out of Here.

Calling the project "way too soon," Judge James Zagel said he does not have faith that the former Illinois governor would ...

Kings' Ian McShane and Christopher Egan
Mel Brooks was wrong — it's not good to be the king.
NBC has once again shuttled around Kings, its ambitious if poorly received new drama series, yanking it from its Saturdays-at-8 slot after just one airing. Kings originally called Sunday home, but was banished after four low-rated outings.
Kings now will conclude its freshman run ...

Michael Weatherly (NCIS), Mary Lynn Rajskub (24) and Hayden Panettiere (Heroes)
Every week, senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich, Mickey O'Connor and Tim Molloy satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to mega_scoop@tvguide.com.
We've been teased big happenings with NCIS' Tony and Ziva, and I'm all for that, but need I be worrying so much? — Kate
MATT: I finally got NCIS boss Shane Brennan to dish on "Tiva," and it looks like you might be left to fret all summer long. He told me, "What happens over these next episodes is an evolution of their relationship — though perhaps more extreme than you would get in your normal [workplace]. These people do carry guns!" Then, in the wake of specific events of the May 19 season-ender, he said, "It's up to the audience to decide, and they will over the summer, what might happen [next]. But everything has a life, and eventually things end." Listen very carefully to Brennan's coda here: "Now, if you think I just said that Tiva's going to end, I didn't."
I've heard that Heroes' Volume 4 ends with a major death. Any tease? — Eric
TIM: You're half-right. Of course, not everyone who dies stays dead. Except those who do. Also, look for one character to ...

Lindsay Lohan
Hold on to those dollar bills, gentlemen (and ladies): Lindsay Lohan is not ready to give you a Peepshow yet.
"She isn't interested at this time but it seems people are out there are saying she is doing this," Lohan's rep told Radar Online.
The 22-year-old was reportedly in talks to join the Las Vegas striptease revue after Kelly Monaco's contract expires later this year. Lohan added fuel to the fire when she was photographed schmoozing with Mel B., who plays Peep Diva in the show, at an after-party over the weekend. The former Spice Girl told ...

Perez Hilton, Carrie Prejean
Miss California says she has no regrets about her statement against gay marriage when Miss USA judge and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton asked her about the hot topic. But she does admit it hurt her chances for the crown.
Carrie Prejean, who was runner-up to winner Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton, in Sunday's pageant, told Fox News her stomach sank when she first heard she had picked Hilton's question. "I had a gut feeling. I knew he was controversial, and so was the question. Out of all the topics I studied up on, I dreaded that one, I prayed I would not be asked about gay marriage. If I had any other question, I know I would have won."
The beauty queen insisted she wasn't going to give a politically correct answer just because she was on national television (click here to watch). As for sticking to her beliefs, Prejean told Billy Bush, "I feel like I won ...
