Stay classy: According to THR, Harrison Ford has joined the cast of "Anchorman: The Legend Continues." Ford would play a veteran news anchor, "a la Tom Brokaw," per the trade.

This would be the first outright comedy for Ford since 1979's Western comedy "The Frisco Kid." He previously played a curmudgeonly newscaster in the romantic comedy "Morning Glory," and also appeared in rom-coms like "Six Days, Seven Nights," "Working Girl" and "Serena."

The "Anchorman" sequel is already bigger than its predecessor, with Ford, Kristen Wiig and James Marsden joining original stars Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner. This has been a busy 2013 for Ford thus far: In addition to "Anchorman: The Legend Continues," Ford is rumored to reprise the role of Han Solo for "Star Wars: Episode VII." That film is scheduled for release in 2015; "Anchorman" comes soon, on Dec. 20 of this year.

Mr. Secretary, I am disappointed. I thought that we all understood that to fight climate change, we have to be able to say "no" to dirty energy projects. Our friends around the world are looking to us for climate leadership and it starts with drawing the line at tar sands expansion. It also means that we need to give health and environment a fair shake in the environmental review of a dirty energy project such as the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Yet the draft environmental review prepared by the State Department for Keystone XL misses what folks in industry themselves are saying: the Keystone XL project is necessary for expansion of tar sands. We know this means that Keystone XL will make climate change worse.

Once again, the State Department acknowledges that tar sands are dirtier than conventional oil and will make climate change worse. So how, can it then not tell us about what this means for our climate? Somehow, the State Department claims that tar sands will be developed anyway so it doesn't need to look at the harm done by expansion. This just doesn't make sense. Our friends in British Columbia are saying no to tar sands pipelines to the west coast. Our friends in eastern Canada and New England are saying no to tar sands pipelines to the east coast. Rail is a pretty expensive alternative. What is left? Keystone XL's path to the Gulf Coast.

But don't just listen to me. Let's look at what some of the industry's own experts are saying.

Global energy consultant Wood McKenzie found that "a lack of visibility on available transportation capacity and, in turn, the prices that may ultimately be achieved could impact oil sands projects' commercial viability." To me that means that without ways to get tar sands to the coast for export, the price of this very expensive to extract oil is going down making it a risky investment.

TD Economics, a major Canadian Bank, talks about pipeline capacity constraints as "a serious challenge to long term growth" of the tar sands.

And most clearly from an economist: "Unless we get increased [market] access, like with Keystone XL, we're going to be stuck."

The point is that the tar sands industry's expansion plans are not possible without the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project and delay in deciding the fate of Keystone XL has already affected expansion. This amounts to real climate pollution that affects real people here at home and around the world.

Luckily, this is just a draft environmental review. Now is the time for the public to make itself heard. And Mr. Secretary, I'd ask that you listen closely to people's concerns about what expanded tar sands would mean for our future. This is not a future we want. It is time to take a hard stance on Keystone XL. We need a clear evaluation of the damage to our health and environment that will result from this dirty energy project. And then we need to reject the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

It was hot and dusty in the high desert of Taos, N.M. The scraggly cemetery with old crosses looked like the set of a spaghetti western. Mourners included biker dudes and their chicks, outlaws in bolo ties, Val Kilmer in a cream-colored Stetson, and Jack Nicholson in moccasins. It was June 3, 2010. Dennis Hopper was about to be buried.

I was coasting on about three hours of bad sleep. The evening before I'd taken last flight to Albuquerque out of New York, where I'd gotten the idea of writing a book about Dennis Hopper after realizing the awe-taking breadth of his story. I saw Dennis as a real-life Don Quixote chasing his strange and twisted American dream. Beside me was the recently deceased's literary agent, Jim, who'd been trying in vain to get his client to do a book since the '80s -- first as his editor at St. Martin's, then brokering multiple seven-figure deals for Dennis' big tell-all. Only Dennis never could commit anything to the page.

So, I was starting from scratch, boldly charging forth on my own book, my big ticket into HopperLand... Jim had promised me that getting into Dennis's funeral would be a piece of cake.

Things got off to a gonzo start. From the airport, we took a crazy three-hour drive in a blue Hyundai rental up alongside the Rio Grande with the radio blaring rock, the windows rolled down, and Jim smoking like a chimney the entire way. We changed into black attire in the car in the parking lot of the famous San Francisco de Assisi Mission church in Ranchos de Taos.

We didn't have much luck at the gates. This Spanish adobe fortress could easily withstand an onslaught of the natives, let alone two New York lit characters in rumpled sport coats. The chunky publicist-type, velvet-rope girl running the show told us in no short order we would NOT be admitted entry into the funeral. HopperLand was on red alert given the high-profile tabloid divorce drama surrounding his death. As I could see by eyeballing the clipboard (in the midst of my being denied entry), Hopper's widow was on the top of the DO NOT LET INTO THE CHURCH list.

About an hour later, jacked up on tall glasses of lemonade at the rustic nearby cantina, I found myself back in the blue Hyundai driving smack in the middle of the ragtag funeral procession, lost in the midst of the black SUVs, pickup trucks and customized choppers. Jim was hanging his cigarette out of the window, directing me from the passenger's seat to keep on rolling.

Hanging back respectfully in the pack of mourners in the cemetery, I thought we were in the clear, but an official representative of HopperLand sent over a leathery looking fellow from the High Desert Protective Service. I thought I recognized him as one of the bad guys from Miami Vice. He offered to escort us out, which, in my mind, pretty much took care of any question about whether my book would be "authorized," or not. My publisher was still holding onto some vague, misguided impression that it might be.

Three years and a publisher later, I'm glad to say that Hopper: A Journey into the American Dream is finally hitting the shelves. In my time storming the gates of HopperLand, I spent three months living in the hippy enclave of Taos, where Dennis spent much of his drug-addled time in the 1970s living in exile from Hollywood ("Oh, you were at the funeral? Wasn't it beautiful?...")

I hunted down Hopper cronies far and wide on mountaintops and in craggy nooks in alien-looking lands an hour outside of cell-reception. I snuck into the fabulous party at MOCA for Hopper's art retrospective, curated by Julian Schnabel, wearing a purple pajama top. My journalist wife gamely offered to don a disguise (a straw hat bought at the Gap), and infiltrate Hopper's memorial at the Santa Monica Carousel, where the main topic seemed to be how good of a golfer Dennis was. (I've discovered otherwise, but his golf buddy Joe Pesci is supposed to be amazing.)

Luckily, the outlaw spirit is alive and well with the bad boys of HopperLand, where the real story lies. Hopper's best friend, Dean Stockwell, who starred with him in Blue Velvet, let me watch golf with him while parsing out memories of when he, and Hopper, went off the deep end in Mexico.

"He went off the edge. You're aware of that, right?" asked Stockwell.

David Lynch told me how Hopper is Frank Booth, and how important Dennis's Kansas childhood was (weird Americana). Robert Duvall took a break from set in Utopia, Texas, to give me the 411. John Lurie beamed in from parts unknown to let me know about his fishing trip in Thailand with a Diet Coke-swilling, post-rehab Hopper. Ice-T gave me the heads up, brilliantly, of how Hopper's jabbering Apocalypse Now rant was, to him, like rap. The enigmatic Out of the Blue actress Linda Manz told me over a melting watermelon vodka popsicle in the Palmdale desert how Hopper and her kept it real. Hopper's Easy Rider companion, Peter Fonda, laid it out for me while playing air guitar to "Hotel California" over a three-hour tequila sit-down at the Beverly Wilshire. He came clean about how he was thrown out of Hopper's funeral.

I felt in rarified company at last.

Postscript: For the record whether the book is authorized or not, I've never bothered to ask. How can you expect to honestly write about a Hollywood rebel if you ask for official permission?

Train has taken a very public stand against the Boy Scouts of America's longstanding ban on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community by boycotting an upcoming performance.

In November, Scouting Magazine announced that the Grammy-winning band would be headlining the closing stadium show at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree in July along with "Call Me Maybe" sensation Carly Rae Jepsen.

But a campaign to get both performers to denounce the Boy Scouts' anti-gay policies picked up steam on March 1, when GLAAD announced it had signed on to support gay Eagle Scout Derek Nance's Change.org petition, which states:

I was surprised to see that both Carly Rae and Train would be headlining the National Scout Jamboree this July, but hadn't yet spoken out against the Boy Scouts' policy banning gay youth and parents. As a talented artists with incredibly loyal LGBT fans around the globe, I hope they will speak out quickly, and urge the Boy Scouts to end its dangerous anti-gay policy ...

Projected attendance for the 2013 National Scouting Jamboree is over 50,000 Boy Scouts, Venturers, volunteers and staff. Among those 50,000 are countless LGBT young people who are forced to hide who they really are, in fear of being kicked out of the organization they love. This has to change.

So far, more than 11,000 people have signed the petition.

A few hours after GLAAD signed the petition, Train posted a statement on their website saying the band will not perform at the Jamboree if the Boy Scouts do not change its policies before the summer, Queerty notes.

The San Francisco-based group, whose hits include “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me),” and “Hey, Soul Sister” published the following on its website Friday evening:

When we booked this show for the Boy Scouts of America we were not aware of any policy barring openly gay people from participation within the organization. Train strongly opposes any kind of policy that questions the equality of any American citizen. We have always seen the BSA as a great and noble organization. We look forward to participating in the Jamboree this summer, as long as they make the right decision before then.

Though Jepsen has not yet responded to the campaign, she has made gay-friendly comments in the past.

In May, the singer told Time magazine she has always supported gay marriage and, thus, she didn't think twice about her director's "gay twist" at the end of the "Call Me Maybe" music video.

Zooey Deschanel's 2011 divorce from Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard hasn't stopped her from believing in true love.

“[True love] that lasts forever… yes, I do believe in it," the "New Girl" actress said in the April 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan UK. "My parents have been married for 40 years and my grandparents were married for 70 years. I come from a long line of true loves.”

So what is Deschanel looking for the next time around?

“I’d be more likely to go for somebody who is like me," she said in the interview. "Well, I like creative people, so whatever that means… Yeah, authentic and creative.”

Deschanel filed for divorce from Gibbard back in December 2011 after more than two years of marriage. They finalized their split the following year in December 2012. The couple has no children together.

Although Deschanel has previously said she "[doesn't] have time to date," the actress has been romantically linked to screenwriter Jamie Linden since June 2012.

It came to me like a bolt of lightning. A eureka moment. I was watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and reading about sequestration at the same time when this amazing idea came into my head. How to fix a broken Congress, solve our debt issues, and have some interesting new TV.

I was euphoric! Here is the pitch. That's what they say in the TV world.

TV Producer: "We take the reality TV concept, the Housewives shows, Honey Boo Boo, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Duck Dynasty, and you know so many more... and we set it in the world of Congress! Forget C-Span. Old-fashioned. Boring. And they don't even have commercials for god's sake. They have cameras, but no one is in the Chamber. Senators and Congressmen haven't been there since Mr. Smith went to Washington. We set the show not in the Chamber, but the back hallways, the offices, restaurants, bars, in their cars...Think the new Netflix show House of Cards, but even more real and raw. Our democracy spinning out of control. Dysfunctional. Broken."

TV Exec: "Kevin Spacey. He was perfect for that."

TV Producer: "But this is a reality show...with a little dramatic help from us."

TV Exec: "But what about hope? We need hope."

TV Producer: "Plenty of hope. Absolutely. We pray the country survives and these men and women work to destroy and save it 24/7."

TV Exec: "Heroes and villains."

TV Producer: "Yes! And sometimes the heroes can be villains and vice versa. Keeps it fresh. Rand Paul at home, having dinner, the phone rings. His wife: 'Rand, how odd. No one calls during dinner.' Rand Paul goes to the phone. He hears bad news. He gets an inside tip...That Congress is close to passing a bill that will cost the country great sums of money. 'Hold on, I am having dinner with my family, lets meet in five minutes.' In the car he angrily screams on his cell phone 'I will kill any opposition bill, whatever it is, unless THIS spending bill is killed.'

"He is so angry he runs a traffic light. Almost hits a car. He slams on the breaks, breathes heavily. Commercial break."

TV Exec: "I get the picture. Tension, patriotic beliefs, and renegade behavior, but what about a little humor?"

TV Producer: "The humor is built in. They say funny things all the time, and they don't know it. That's what makes it really funny. And here is the bonus! Not only are we making money off the show, Congress gets a cut as well. It will reduce the deficit! It's a win win. Any member of Congress who doesn't want to participate in the show is branded as being in opposition to paying down the debt. They will be begging to be part of the show."

TV Exec: "Brilliant. It makes us look good. It's not all about profits."

TV Producer: "And think about the merchandising aspects. John Boehner has his own tanning products, and we get a cut. Nancy Pelosi skin creams and hair products...and we get a cut. Mitch McConnell's old man tie line... probably won't be a big seller but: we get a cut."

TV Exec: "A cut is always good."

TV Producer: "The possibilities are endless. Now here is the big plus. We actually help Congress, help our democracy!"

TV Exec. "How?"

The Producer: "Democrats and Republicans don't meet much anymore. Very little interaction. Because of this show, they have to meet. It will give us the conflicts..."

TV Exec: "I don't follow, why do they have to meet?"

TV Producer: "Because if they don't, they don't get the TV time. They become bit players. No one wants to be a bit player. How do they explain that to their constituency back home? Everyone wants to be a star. They'll be breaking down doors to get into these meetings. Camera time, everyone wants camera time! And the bigger they get, they go on a Andy Cohen-like thing. He's on Bravo. Does a great job. Great with the questions of 'why did you do that?' It is never harsh. It's done in fun, and the audience calls in... it's just so entertaining. It sort of doesn't condemn bad behavior. Everyone has a good time."

TV Exec: "It sounds very interesting. Let me get my ducks in a row..."

TV Producer: "Don't think too long. Bravo is already interested. It could work with Vanderpump Rules. And even NBC is thinking about jumping in. The past year was a disaster for them. It could be a perfect fit right after The Voice. In fact they are thinking of stripping it, five nights a week. Reality Congress. It's the next big thing."

Is it a girl?!

Kate Middleton may have let the sex of her unborn child slip today as she greeted well-wishers in Grimsby, England. As the Telegraph reports, the duchess was chit-chatting with fans when one woman handed her a teddy bear. Kate reportedly replied, "Thank you, I’ll take that for my d..." then stopped herself.

According to Us Weekly, another bystander asked her if she had meant to say "daughter," to which the royal replied, "We're not telling." Not telling or don't know? Because another bystander heard her say, "No, we don't know." The plot thickens...

Either way, this is exciting because we can finally start envisioning how amazing it would be if Kate and Will had a girl. No offense to baby boys, but think of the fashion potential!

In addition to inheriting a great sense of style, Catherine's baby girl would also inherit the throne. This year, the British parliament moved forward with legislation to end the principle of male primogeniture, so that Kate and William's first child can inherit the throne regardless of gender. Yes, Kate's first born might one day become queen.

But we probably won't know the baby's sex for a while. The British royal family's longstanding tradition is to not announce the sex of the baby until after the birth. Instead, a note is put on the gates of Buckingham Palace that announced the child's arrival, thus revealing the details to the world.

But in this day of social media and verbal gaffes heard 'round the world, we doubt the royal couple will make it to July without us finding out: Is it a boy or a girl?!

Sharon Stone says Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't the only one to blame for the affair that ended his marriage. The other guilty party, according to Stone? Maria Shriver.

In a new interview with the UK's The Sunday Times, Stone -- who starred with Schwarzenegger in 1990's "Total Recall" -- weighed in on his affair with household staffer Mildred Baena.

“Was I disappointed? Who wasn’t? Nobody is excited when people betray them­selves and their families. No one goes, ‘Yay, good for you," the actress said. "But whatever happened in their home was happening with both of them. It’s a terrible thing -- and it’s easy to say, ‘Oh, it’s just something that he did’, but this took place in their home, over a decade. It happened with both of them."

Shriver filed for divorce in July 2011, almost two months after allegations surfaced that Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with former household staffer Mildred Baena.

It's worth noting that Schwarzenegger himself has taken responsibility for the affair, telling Fox News' Sean Hannity in an October 2012 interview that he couldn't "blame anybody else but [himself]".

"I created a huge screw-up. I had this child, and it destroyed my family," he said. "It was a situation where I couldn't even blame anybody else but myself, because my wife was a fantastic wife...my kids were fantastic. The thing that I cherished the most, you know, I destroyed by some stupid things that I've done."

Shriver and Schwarzenegger married in April 1986 and have four children together.

Odds are, most of us have said or done something in our lives that, if it were to appear in front of a national audience, would destroy our careers.

This is pretty much what happened to the 10 celebrities and politicians featured in the above video, whether it was accidental tweet, an interview gone wrong, a disastrous debate or a leaked phone call. All of these folks suffered consequences, ranging from a onslaught of bad PR to prison time. There are many valuable lessons to be learned from these luminaries -- mostly, that you shouldn't be a horrible person.

The force is alive in San Francisco.

Just months after selling Lucasfilm to Disney, George Lucas is setting his sights on a new project: a San Francisco-based art museum. Lucas told CBS This Morning the space will continue the mission he started with his films.

"Star Wars was there to inspire young people to imagine things," Lucas told CBS. The museum will serve a similar purpose.

An avid collector, Lucas' first art purchase was a comic book illustration costing about $25. His current collection consists of pieces from Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell. He has more than 1,000 works of art, enough to rotate a gallery collection every six months for six years, CBS reports.

Lucas plans to build the museum on piece of land overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.

In addition to displaying art, the museum will teach young people about the craft of storytelling. He hopes to explain the process of designing sets, characters and costumes to visitors.

Lucas' art taste is not refined, he said. However, it inspired the world he created in the Star Wars Films.

"I don't see anything wrong with having [an] idealistic, sentimental, fun point of view," Lucas told CBS. "Especially for people that are growing up."

Kanye West called into New York's Hot 97 radio station on Tuesday, violating his "don't do no press, but I get the most press, kid" rule to take issue with MTV's Hottest MCs list.

West was ranked No. 7 on the list, falling behind Big Sean (6), Drake (5) and the yet-to-be-announced top four rappers. This year's list is the network's eighth stab at providing a definitive list for rap fans. In what can't fairly be called a "rant" ('Ye remained calm for the duration of the call), West said Lil' Wayne should top the list and explained his issues with the rankings:

"I feel like for them to put me at No. 7, they had to bring up things they didn't like, like they didn't like 'Cruel Summer' album. And I'm like, 'That's a compilation. It's not all rappers on [the album].' I mean, 'Cruel Summer' has 'Don't Like (Remix),' 'New God Flow,' 'Mercy,' 'Cold' ... you know? ... And 'Clique!' You can't name five records like that on an album. But they want to diss me and be like, 'He did Cruel Summer and he can't say he's not part of it because he's on eight records.' Ain't nobody bringing up that 'Diamonds (Remix)' verse. There ain't no verse in a year that's f--king with that verse!

It's definitely not about a body of work. Possibly it could be about overall MC, rap swag. Sean is a great rapper, period. It checks all the boxes. What happens with these type of things and the people that review it, when I come in and I have the pink Polo and the backpack, I'm checking all the boxes of that A Tribe Called Quest era and all that, so they want to champion it. They don't like Givenchy Kanye. They don't like Kanye in a kilt, they don't like Kanye in a relationship."

Quick explainer: West's G.O.O.D. Music compilation album, "Cruel Summer," debuted to lukewarm to cold reviews, despite carrying the heavy impact singles he mentions above. West also apparently thinks his verse on the remix of Rihanna's "Diamonds" should have boosted his standing. He also repeats a previous claim that the press has turned on him because he has stopped dressing the part of a neat and friendly rapper, moving instead toward high-fashion interests and a relationship with Kim Kardashian.

But he wasn't done there, saying that the MTV list can't have been based on a "bar-for-bar" look at rap. "I said, 'Lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team,'" West said, referencing his "Cold" dig at Kardashian's ex Kris Humphries, who plays for the Brooklyn Nets, a team of which Jay-Z is a part owner. "Ain't no bar -- ain't no bar of the past 12 months that's hotter than that bar. That's one bar -- I come from this battle rap, that's how I grew up in Chicago."

Before he hung up, West told the amazing story of how he gave MTV's Sway "his first TV." "Really, I didn't really want to call and talk about the No. 7 list, I just wanted to tell everyone I gave Sway his first TV," West said. "And he needs to remember that." *click*.

And this concludes another edition of Kanye ReactsTo Not BeingNamed The Best.

MTV's RapFix editor, Rob Markman, didn't seem to mind 'Ye's criticism:

To hear Vanity Fair tell it, Taylor Swift had quite the reaction to a simple joke. At the Golden Globes, Tina Fey teasingly told 23-year-old Swift to "stay away" from Michael J. Fox's son and suggested she could benefit by taking some time off dating celebrities to "learn about herself." Poehler dryly said Swift should "go for it" and add the younger Fox to her ever-expanding list of famous and semi-famous ex-boyfriends.

Swift, who has made a livingkilling by aiming thinly veiled insults at her ex-boyfriends, offered a brilliantly passive-aggressive response. "You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people," the singer said. "Because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.'"

The quote -- which is actually Madeline Albright's -- hints at the spiteful streak that underscores much of Swift's music. She has gone from producing sing-songy anthems of a lovelorn youth (see: "You Belong With Me") to revenge anthems that viciously mock her exes who are, naturally, always in the wrong (see: all of "Red"). But lashing out at Fey and Poehler, two of entertainment's most likable people (who, by the way, also happen to be women), is just too far.

There are few acts of manipulation more unseemly than maneuvering oneself into a position wherein any criticism is immediately labeled sexist, racist or otherwise wrong. We're all capable of mistakes and all offer up fodder for the occasional lighthearted joke and critique.

Then again, Swift's inability to take a joke might not entirely be her own fault. Though she certainly "made it" on the strength of her music, she was actually cast in the role of pop-music martyr by Kanye West. Though worse things have certainly happened to females in entertainment (see: Rihanna, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Mary J. Blige, Betty LaVette), America was absolutely and totally enraged when West interrupted her while she was accepting an award at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. The collective rage could have blotted out the sky, and it continues to define both West and Swift to this day.

There's another person in show business with a similarly self-serving streak. "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy made a cottage industry out of villainizing anyone who dared to criticize his (admittedly sweet) show about a diverse group of teens coming of age while singing campy takes on pop songs.

When the Kings of Leon dared to say they'd rather not have their music turned into jingles between high-school hookup and breakup scenes, Murphy went on a tear: "F--k you, Kings of Leon. They're self-centered assholes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It's like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of 'Glee' all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music."

Make a joke about Taylor Swift? You're the enemy of womankind. Rather not have "Glee" have its way with your life's work? You hate kids. If that math is too simple for you, congratulations: You're not stupid.

I saw this floating around on Facebook and clicked on the link to debunk the "confirmation" of this rumor. To be honest, it looks legit, but Carrie Fisher has been known to be flippant with the press.

She was doing the press rounds for a speech called the "Old Bags Luncheon," but she had to cancel for her hospitalization related to bipolar disorder. Before she backed out, she did an interview with the Palm Beach Illustrated, which was covering the event and she dropped this bomb:

Q: Disney is going to continue the Star Wars saga, producing movies set to hit theaters starting in 2015. Can you confirm whether you'll reprise the role of Princess Leia?

A: Yes.

That's pretty cut and dry, but she goes on in the next question to say that Princess Leia's future is in a nursing home:

Q: What do you think Princess Leia is like today?

A: Elderly. She's in an intergalactic old folks' home [laughs].

I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle.

While this isn't "official" confirmation, it seems plausible. But, as with any rumor, until Lucasfilm or Disney announces it, nothing is official.

Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath swapped significant others with rapper Coolio on the latest "Celebrity Wife Swap." Coolio's girlfriend, Mimi, couldn't believe the difference when she spent a week with McGrath. She discovered that Coolio isn't treating her the way he should.

"I just hope Coolio realizes that if he doesn’t start paying me more attention, then I don’t think he’ll be in my life very much longer," she said.

During the reunion at the end of the week, Mimi didn't hold back. "Our relationship really sucks. It really does," she told Coolio.

Carin seemed to echo the sentiment, based on her experience with Coolio, though she was very diplomatic about it. She said Coolio was hard to get to know. Reality TV Magazine translated what she could have meant, writing, "If that is code word for not doing any work and sleeping all day, then yes he is hard to get to know."

The epilogue of the episode was almost a foregone conclusion as it revealed that Mimi and Coolio are no longer together. So while it would appear Mimi learned something valuable from the episode about her worth, that lesson may have been lost on Coolio.

After Hurricane Sandy, NBC pre-empted the Halloween installment of "The New Normal." Finally this past week, it came to air. And while it might seem strange to drop it in now in early March, it makes sense when you consider that Nicole Richie was one of the guest stars.

Richie's own show, "Fashion Star," returns to NBC this Friday at 8 p.m. EST for its second season. In this episode, though, it was revealed that she's one of Ryan's Hollywood friends. The two of them were seen shopping together for pumpkins and making fun of Courtney Love.

But Richie wasn't the only familiar face. George Takei dropped by to support Ryan's stance on Halloween finally being his chance to let his freak flag fly. Apparently that means controlling what everyone dresses up as every year.

But not this year. The family revolted, and wound up with a Frankenstein theme. Who cares that it's Halloween in March if it means viewers get to see NeNe Leakes as Matt Lauer. It made no sense -- and she ultimately changed to Serena Williams -- but it was just ridiculous enough to work.

The ladies of "Dance Moms" came up with a theory as to why Abby Lee Miller is so high strung and tense all the time. She just needed to learn to loosen up. And what would help her do that? A man, of course!

So they surprised her by setting her up on a speed dating experience. And though it was something unexpected, Abby prove game for the opportunity. This despite her saying she was perfectly happy with her LA boyfriend. The ladies poked a lot of fun at the thought of him, with the general consensus being that he's gay.

OK Magazine described it as Abby getting "her cougar on" as she flirted her way through the various guys while speed dating. The mothers were watching it all go down in a scene Have U Heard called "a classic."

But while it doesn't look like Abby made a love connection through speed dating, she at least appeared to be having fun. And if the point of the exercise was to loosen up, she certainly did that. Not that it ultimately made much of a difference back in the studio.

Come back for a two-hour episode next week as "Dance Moms" continues on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.

The practice of taking real events and turning them into themes for the show isn't new (take the episode inspired by Dominique Strauss-Kahn for instance, or the one inspired by Jerry Sandusky), but it makes for such good television that we wish they'd do it more often

For inspiration, here are some celebrity scandals that could easily translate to the small screen:
