Good morning! Still thinking about last night's Lost? Our episode discussion is underway, and it already contains some great observations that I didn't catch when I saw the ep. Check it out when you get a chance.

Also, this morning I have to go tape a cable countdown special, so I'll be gone for a few hours. I'll resume blogging this afternoon.

A few headlines:

- The State's Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter are getting a new series on Comedy Central.

- Max Weinberg is indeed moving to L.A. to be with Conan O'Brien. Whew.

- Tracy Morgan's home caught fire Wednesday. The cause: a "faulty fish tank."

- Kristen Bell will guest star on my new favorite comedy series, the upcoming Party Down.

- Andy Samberg is interviewed in the new issue of Out magazine.

- J.D. Fortune, the guy who replaced Michael Hutchence as INXS' lead singer, says he was fired from the band.

- Bruce Springsteen has made a video for The Wrestler.

- In this Q&A, The Office's Ed Helms discusses his love of the banjo.

- Members of Smashing Pumpkins, Fountains of Wayne, Cheap Trick and Hanson have formed a band.

- Seth Rogen on the cover of Playboy? Huh?

- Sean Penn's wardrobe from Milk is being auctioned.

- Another Fockers movie is in the works.

- There's already some debate over whether these Watchmen clips are good or not.

- Tori Amos has a new album on the way and is heading to SXSW.

- Edgar Wright has been posting mysterious Scott Pilgrim photos.

- Here's a story about the success of Twitter's "Fail Whale." (Thanks, Hedwig.)

- The final episodes of Pushing Daisies will be screened at the Paley Television Festival in L.A.

- Here are 10 songs about smoking. (Personal fave: Last Cigarette by Dramarama.)

- And finally, I know this is wrong, but it still made me laugh: "Boys Hack Taco Bell Intercom and Spout Obscenities at Customers."
