Yay! Speaking of things that made me incredibly happy today, new
Arrested Development episodes are almost upon us!
Jason Bateman emerged from his Batecave to tweet a photo of himself with
Ron Howard and
Mitch Hurwitz, adding “Taken at AD mission control, today! All systems are go. Filming for the new episodes starts in four weeks. Woo!” WOO INDEED, BATEMAN. After this long-awaited 4th season comes the long-awaited
Arrested Development movie, which will obviously win all the Oscars. Dot-com. [

According to a source,
Nicole Kidman gave
Katie Holmes advice on how to deal with being married to an alien-infested telekinetic wizard. “She has been a private friend not many people know about,” says the source. “They’ve spoken over the last few weeks…Nicole has been supportive, saying she’s been through it too and to hang in there.” Also, Katie and
Suri went to the zoo. [

Kristen Chenoweth has been hospitalized after being struck by a piece of lighting equipment on the set of
The Good Wife. “That area is vortex for wind…and a big gust of wind blew the lighting off the scaffolding,” says a witness, who added that “Chenoweth was hit ‘square in the head’ and appeared to be ‘knocked out cold.’ The witness says, ‘I thought she was dead at first.'” Because Chenoweth is reported to be doing just fine, I’m going to devote the rest of this item to an inside joke about that
Ghostwriter episode when some sinister lighting equipment falls down in the middle of Leni’s music video shoot for Smash Records. HE’S A GHOST. AND HE WRITES TO US. [

Target has decided not to carry
Frank Ocean‘s “Channel Orange,” claiming it’s because of Ocean’s decision to release the album a week early on iTunes. “Interesting,” offers Ocean’s manager, “since they also donate to non-equal rights organizations.” Okay, Target. So you’re either some butt-hurt, flopping corporate babies, or right-wing censorious bigots. Duly noted. [

- After having a daughter, Dancing with the Stars‘s J.R. Martinez has discovered that his wife’s boobs are for more than just recreational honking. “You’re like, ‘Hey, that’s how we got Belle.’ But now that Belle’s here, one of the ways that I tell people my world has changed [is] it’s like, ‘Pull out the boob! She’s hungry!'” [People]

This will never happen again.” Sunglasses cool-guy smiley face!!! [E!]
