Anyone who's a fan of the hysteri-effing-cal Australian comedy Kath & Kim -- for the uninitiated, it's sort of like the Aussie Absolutely Fabulous, only with tract housing and malapropisms galore -- probably has mixed feelings about the fact that NBC is attempting to pull an Office on it, ie import it and Americanize it for U.S. audiences. (Molly Shannon and Selma Blair star as the titular mother-daughter characters, respectively.) After watching the trailer [via Oh No They Didn't], I'm more than a little worried that some things just don't translate.

Katherine Heigl withdrew her name from the Emmy submissions this year because she hates the Grey's Anatomy writing staff and doesn't care who knows about it. She told the L.A. Times:

"I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention. In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials."

The game begins again.

SNL is officially down one player.

Shortly after announcing eleven new series yesterday, Bravo held their upfronts in New York City, where Bravolebrities (the most demeaning word to write) walked the blue carpet to discuss their series and skirt around actually saying anything of substance. To spare you mindless quotes that give, at best, vague details about what's going to happen next season on the various Real Housewives franchises, here are the most entertaining quotes of the evening:

Move over Al Lewis, there's a new Grandpa Munster in town.

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment to get away from singing competitions.

Glee is full steam ahead on the stunt casting.

Guess who's coming back to Pawnee.

The CW's Freshman orientation is over. Did you grab a tote bag?
