Letterman duped by Lindsay Lohan booking
Letterman's spokesperson confirmed that Lindsay won't be reading a Top 10 list on Thursday: "We made a mistake. Someone purporting to be a friend of Lindsay's reached out to the show yesterday, allegedly on her behalf, and booked her to appear. Clearly, this person was not authorized to make commitments on her behalf. We wish Lindsay well, and look forward to having her on the show in the future."

What has really made Season 2 seem like a basket case, says Matt Zoller Seitz are the too many tribute episodes and the elevation of Sue. "The show's fixation on Sue Sylvester is a manifestation of that 'When in doubt, go weird' ethos," he says. "Sue is hilarious in small doses and her monologues are magnificent. But the more strenuously the writers foreground Sue, the less exciting and credible she becomes." PLUS: 
"The first round on Monday in this week's 'Jeopardy!' competition between two former champions and Watson, the I.B.M. computer, was supposed to be a man vs. machine, guys against gadget, brain vs. Braun showdown,"says Alessandra Stanley. "It was closer to "Bambi vs Godzilla.'" For one thing, the avatar standing between Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter that suggests that Watson is a trim, 6-foot iPod, is totally misleading: the real thing isn't one computer, it is a conglomerate of 10 I.B.M. servers – 13 trillion bytes – that are the equivalent of 2,800 computers and take up an entire room off stage … That can't be fair."
The battle between Jennings, Watson and Brad Rutter, which airs tonight, raises the question of whether the Trivia Buff is becoming obsolete. "Trivia geeks are not the public resource they used to be," says Jennings. "Now that Watson can play 'Jeopardy!' at human levels, has my one real talent been stolen away?" Jennings, though, admits that he appreciated the human brain more after battling Watson. "The protein and salt and whatever . . . that little bit of tissue could hang in there with a billion-dollar supercomputer," he said.
"They’re kind of the same show, in a lot of ways," says Todd VanDerWerff. "The world has obviously been crying out for yet another show about single white people in the big city … and it’s also obviously been crying out for another show with a hopeless romantic who’s just waiting for the right girl to come along, a hopeless romantic who finds himself blown away when that girl comes along in the pilot. Hell, said guy, Jason Biggs, has even been made to kinda LOOK like Josh Radnor, in a way that is not so much a nice throwback to the show on before 'Mad Love' but instead vaguely creepy … And yet I find myself wanting to watch another episode of 'Mad Love.'"

After a report that "Lex Luthor" wouldn't return, Rosenbaum has inked a deal to appear in the two-hour finale.

The new "Idol" judge is like a male Paula, except he can beat people up, says Linda Stasi. "Not only do Tyler and Abdul share the same hairdo, clothes, and tragi-glam choice in haberdashery but, most importantly, he's returned to 'Idol' that magical element that's been missing since Paula took a powder: Danger," says Stasi. She adds"Like Abdul, Tyler in his loopiness really feels everyone's pain. And also like Paula, he's always one second away from crashing, going nuts, saying something completely inappropriate and falling off the wagon." PLUS: It sure looked like producers set up 
Along with Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez has been refreshing in her critiques, especially since she's far more insightful than Paula Abdul, according to Jon Caramanica. "And measured, too," he adds. "Often she says little to contestants, largely the ones who don’t deserve a full assessment. But when she commits to a critique, it’s direct and refreshing, a combination of industry savvy and emotional comfort." PLUS: Is Tourette's sufferer
