ER has a way of either killing off beloved characters or sending them off in some other unnecessary, shitty way (remember Jeanie just leaving without saying goodbye to anyone because they were too busy?), but now a top star on the show actually wants them to kill off her character.

Maura Tierney tells AOL's TV Tattler that she wants the show to kill Abby. Tierney isn't coming back full time next season (she'll be on a handful of episodes) and she would like to see Abby killed off instead of walking into the sunset with Luka. But breathe easy, Abby fans. Tierney says that the producers have no plans to kill Abby off. I'm not sure why Tierney would want to have her character killed off. I mean, she's not going to be on the show anymore so why tick off fans?

But let's speculate, shall we? I'll leave it up to you, ER fans: if they do kill off Abby, how should she go? Helicopter chopping her head off? Drinking herself to death? Buffalo stampede? Caught in a black hole?

Say it ain't so! Survivor China (as well as every other season) host Jeff Probst recently answered some questions posed by TV Tattler's Angel Cohn. Now, are there folks who watch the show just to see scantily-clad women? Who out there does that?

I realize the main reason that they don't shoot the show in a colder environment is because the castaways would have to be all bundled up and that's apparently bad for television ratings. How shallow have we become?

Jeff answered some questions about the clothing -- or lack thereof -- in the interview and I bring to you those answers ... and my two cents!

Well, it seems that people just can't get enough Evel Dick. If you're not a fan of Big Brother 8, that sentence might sound just a tad odd. No, I'm not into soft porn although I've heard it can be a fairly lucrative pursuit. But that's not what I'm here for, not at all.

I'm here because the folks at TV Tattler have a new interview with both Dick and Daniele Donato, first and second place winners of the recently ended Spool of Lies. The ex-estranged, now just bickering on and off but much closer father and daughter duo answered some of the questions which are in the hearts and minds of the forever faithful Big Brother viewers.

Um, well ... it's kind of a schmaltzy situation, so I feel the need to schmaltz!

Perhaps it wasn't an interview. I'd say it was a Jenterview. Yeah, that's perfect! AOL's TV Tattler recently interviewed the last houseguest evicted from the Big Brother 8 house -- Jen Johnson.

You can say what you want about Jen. You can like her or hate her. But everyone has to admit she's surely a character. She boasts of being a bikini model and the nanny for Vanna White's children. She's Jen to the Jenth Degree!

I want to delve a bit into the interview at hand and give my two cents on it. Want to join me? After the jump ...

Our corporate siblings at AOL have a fun interview with Julia Louis-Dreyfus posted to their "TV Tattler" site. My colleague Geoff Bennett asks her some questions about her Emmy win for Old Christine -- she took the statuette to work the next day and placed it on the craft services table -- casting Blair Underwood as a love interest, and what it's like to play a working mother while being one herself.

But the question that got my attention was when Geoff asked Julia about her reaction to the Michael Richards incident. While she wouldn't condemn her friend and Seinfeld co-star, Julia was pretty truthful about how she felt at the time it happened: "At first I thought someone was kidding. I couldn't believe it. The whole thing was just so profoundly sad and heart-breaking. I was just really devastated by it."

OK, so maybe you're letting your Tivo take the reigns tonight because you've got a hot date with someone you love. That's fair.

But some of us only have love for Lost on Wednesday nights.

For all you counting down the hours until Lost airs tonight, here is a video TV Tattler interview with Dominic Monaghan. He answers some great questions, such as which one of his Lord of the Rings buddies actually watches Lost, and offers some insight on what he'd like to see in the new season. But I must admit, he's looking kind of rough, as if he was really stranded on an island. Regardless, it's a great interview and a great way to kill the time between now and Lost.

Marlee Matlin and Jennifer Beals are getting closer on screen, then they have been off screen.
Their characters may have just met each other on The L Word, but their friendship spans nearly two decades after meeting on a trip from Chicago to Los Angeles.
Although they never mention being part of the mile high club, the show forces them to take their real-life friendship to a whole other level as only a love scene can.

In a recent TV Tattler interview about whether its easier to do it with your real life best friend on TV, Beals replies, "Oh, it's horrible. We laugh hysterically the whole time. It's horrible, it's horrible. I try to be professional, and she looks at me and gives me one little look of mischief and we just lose it, and it takes forever to shoot."

Interesting...
