PBS plans to begin airing "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" in fall 2012, starring the 4-year-old son of Daniel Striped Tiger. The series, which has been in the works since 2006, will feature a mix of animated and live-action segments.

But the damage has apparently been done, with Murphy and Monteith's relationship soured, according to The Daily Beast. Meanwhile, a source close to Colfer thinks that Murphy's announcement was made so that the cast members won't demand a big raise.
It would seem unusual for E! to give the "Jersey Shore" star an "E! True Hollywood Story" tonight, says Mike Hale. But it makes sense when you think about it.

"You can hear the brain trust at E! thinking: 'Oh, what the heck. Let’s get while the gettin's good.'" (
