My least favorite Grandslam mainly because I never get the chance to watch it. If there's no Federer vs Nadal, I probably won't even try to watch the final . There's just no new crop of up and coming players that's worth watching.

After the first hearing....I just like it, not love it. The best part is the chorus (“If I said my heart was beating loud / If we could escape the crowd somehow / If I said I want your body now / Would you hold it against me?/ Cause you feel like paradise/ And I need a vacation tonight / If I said I want your body now / Would you hold it against me?). But I have a feeling it won't play well on radio. It's not catchy enough (the verses) and it's too techno-y.

Thanks, Alvin.

I can't believe the controversary over a baby switch storyline. Happens all the time on US soaps. LOL Has there never been a baby switch storyline on the UK soaps? I don't get it. Also, is there a youtube channel that is dedicated to this storyline? I love baby switch stories, so I want to see this.

Wow that was fast. So Lucy Allen got 1 year and now PM too. There's just no stability at all.

Britney Spears to release new single, 'Hold It Against Me,' next week Can't wait to hear to it! Love Dr. Luke and Max Martin. JP, has it been leaked yet?

Congrats on America moving forward even if it's at a slow pace! Shame on these Republicans who hate gays. And John McCain, STFU! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/18/john-mccain-dadt-repeal-_n_798726.html Thank God this guy never became President, with his backwards thinking.

Did Steph's funeral episode air yet?

Wow! Huge ratings for the finale! http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2010/12/06/walking-dead-finale-draws-6-million-viewers-3-0-adults-18-49-rating/74468 AMC’S THE Walking Dead IS THE MOST WATCHED DRAMA SERIES AMONG ADULTS 18-49 IN BASIC CABLE HISTORY SUNDAY FINALE ATTRACTS 4 MILLION ADULTS 18-49; GARNERS A 4.1 HH RATING WITH 6 MILLION TOTAL VIEWERS Can't wait for season 2!

Wow!!! She was so gorgeous back then.

Former ATWT script writer Leslie Nipkow talks a bit about her time at ATWT: http://www.bluetoad.com/publication/?i=53437 It's on pages 10-12, and then 60.

Episode 1.4: What an ending! Totally didn't expect that attack. Cute blonde Amy got killed off. Episode 1.5: This was a pretty emotional episode. Andrea saying goodbye to her sister before shooting her in the head. Then everyone leaving the guy who was biten behind. And the end with Rick pleading to the camera to let them in.

The show keeps getting better and better! I didn't expect the family reunion to happen so soon. Episode 1.2 reminded me a bit of "Dawn of the Dead" (which I have to see again!) because of the rooftop scenes. The last scene of 1.3 was really good - nice slow pan to reveal the decapitated hand and the bloody handcuff.

Thanks, Carl. Wow, wonder why they edited those scenes out because making it like she committed suicide taints her exit. Craig's not coming back for his sister's funeral? That sucks. Or is Guy Burnet busy doing something else?

Just watched the November 10th episode......Steph!! I can't believe she committed suicide in the fire. Anthony Quinlan was fantastic in this episode. And then the last scene when Gilly and Darren tell Frankie. What an emotional episode. When did Warren and Mandy come back? And why is Mandy evil now and how did Warren survive the fire (when he "died")?

Really enjoyed the premier episode! The last few minutes were intense - when the main character was under the tank and it seemed like there was no way out. Eric, the only part I thought that was too gory was when zombies were eating the horse and we saw all the guts coming out. LOL I hope Lennie James returns too. If not this season, then the next. I'm glad there's finally a TV show about zombies - I've always liked zombie movies.

Haven't seen the episode yet but it got huge ratings! http://www.deadline.com/2010/11/big-debut-for-walking-dead-on-amc/

I predicted if the match would be played on Sunday, Nadal would win in straight sets. But since it was delayed until Monday, I gave Novak one set......and I was right. I can't believe Roger lost when he had two match points against Novak. It was another disappointing Grand Slam - both finals weren't great. And there was no Nadal vs Federer.

Here's the video of the fight in the stands yesterday! <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPelP6HG7ig?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPelP6HG7ig?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPelP6HG7ig?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_sports/2010/09/02/2010-09-02_fans_fight_in_upper_stands_at_arthur_ashe_stadium_during_novak_djokovic_match_at.html#ixzz0yTvWYt61%3C/div%3E

Roddick is out. LOL His tantrum to the lines judge was pretty funny, "Was it the left foot or the right foot?" Go Caroline Wozniacki And of course I want to see a Federer/Nadal final.

Great scenes with McQueens when the truth came out! I love that family. They're so messed up. LOL

The past two episodes were pretty good (except for the Cheryl stuff). What an emotional episode with the Ashworth's, and yeah, Andrew Moss was amazing. Why is he still with the show? He has the looks and talent to make it big. Kyle's scenes with Anita, then Theresa made today's ep.
