Check out Scarlett Johansson at the Oscars.

If I could nail any celebrity
it would definitely be Scarlett Johansson.

Hot, talented and nobody does that many
Woody Allen movies without serious daddy issues.

How I Met Your Mother

This past week The Big Bang Theory and its cast of quirky characters were rewarded with a two year renewal by CBS. (link) I can understand CBS giving Two and a Half Men its two year renewal since it’s the top rated comedy on network television and a consistent Top 5-10 hit, but The Big Bang Theory? I have a feeling Chuck Lorre, the creator of both shows, had a little something to do with this. It’s too bad the creators of How I Met Your Mother don’t have this kind of clout with the network! While The Big Bang Theory definitely deserves its early renewal, here’s hoping a similar fate is in store for the cast and crew of HIMYM.

Sara Gilbert Joins The Cast Of The Big Bang Theory Full Time

As we get ever so close to the start of the 2008-2009 television season, The Blot is excited to announce that Sara Gilbert has been added as a series regular for Season 2 of the CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory. (link) This is some really exciting news because I have always loved the chemistry between Gilbert and Big Bang star Johnny Galecki ever since their days as Darlene and David on the hit 90’s comedy Roseanne.

After guest starring on The Big Bang for three episodes last season, there was no denying that Gilbert and Galecki's trademark playful/sarcastic chemistry was stronger than ever. When you throw Big Bang co-creator Chuck Lorre into the mix, who also served as a writer/producer for Roseanne during the show’s early 90’s heyday, you have a real Roseanne reunion going on here now on a weekly basis.


The freshman comedy did surprisingly well as a part of CBS’ Monday night comedy lineup and expectations are high for The Big Bang Theory’s second season, which begins on Monday, September 22nd.
