This AP story first caught my eye because the headline is so funny — especially with the image of a My Little Pony:
"Sunshine, rainbows, James Spader?"
Sunshine, rainbows, James Spader, indeed. Apparently, cast members of
Boston Legal (does this TV show choice seems random to you, too?) will design My Little Ponies to be auctioned off for the
Give Kids The World charity "as part of a celebration of the toy's 25th anniversary." Who else is designing ponies?

While there were a few pleasant surprises in this morning's
Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, the choices overall struck me as safe and boring. I say it every year, but I wish the Emmys would recognize quirkier or lesser-known shows alongside the more mainstream fare. Then again, I'd also like a unicorn.

The offices of Crane Pool & Schmidt are going to look quite different come fall. Several
"Boston Legal" cast members won't be returning to the show, while two new actors are joining the cast and a third will become a series regular.
Don't worry: William Shatner, James Spader and Candace Bergen aren't going anywhere.
