My
most-anticipated new show of the season, ABC's
"Pushing Daisies," premieres tonight, which means it's just a few hours until you all get to see the fantastical world of the Pie Hole for yourself. (Can't wait? Yum has a preview of
the tasty pies).

If you don't know Blake Lively yet, you will after tonight's premiere of
"Gossip Girl." Lively, who might be best recognized right now by fans of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, plays Serena, a central character who kicks off the show's story by moving home from boarding school and causing chaos in the lives of her Upper East Side friends — especially best frenemy Blair (
Leighton Meester). Lively chatted with me at the
TCA press tour about mean girls, making the jump to television, and what sets Serena apart.
How did you come to "Gossip Girl"?

The cast of
"The Office" will
start production on the show's fourth season today in Los Angeles, which means it's only a few short weeks now till we find out what will become of our beloved Pam and Jim after
the third-season finale. After the
hilarious NBC comedy panel at the
TCA press tour, I joined a group of reporters chatting with John Krasinski about the Jim and Pam dynamic, as well as his upcoming role in
Leatherheads and his favorite Dwight prank. For highlights of what he had to say, read on ...

I already told you about all the
season four scoop the
"House" crew spilled at the
TCA press tour. But Omar Epps, who plays Dr. Eric Foreman, had some goodies of his own in store for me when I chatted with him after the show's panel discussion. Here's what he had to say:
How has Foreman changed from who he was in the first season to someone who could say no to House?

The
Bennets' new home wasn't the only spot I got to tour on the set of
"Heroes" at the
TCA press tour. As I wandered through Isaac's studio, Mohinder's apartment, and an Irish pub, cast members — including my tour guides, Hayden Panettiere and Zachary Quinto — delivered a few hints about what's going to happen when season two begins in September. To hear what they had to say, read more
- At the start of the season, there will be two parallel time lines: one four months after the outer space explosion that ended the first season and one 400 years before. According to Masi Oka, Hiro is sent back in time, and his story line for "a handful of episodes" will take place in feudal Japan.
- Dania Ramirez is joining the cast as Maya Herrera, who — according to an NBC press release — is "plagued by a threatening ability" that drives both her and her twin brother (played by Shalim Ortiz) to cross from the Dominican Republic to the United States in search of help.
