Do you ever find yourself sitting at your desk on Friday afternoon wondering where the heck the week went? Well, whenever that happens to your friendly Vulture editors, we take a stroll down Blog Lane and compile our Week in Review. So what DID happen this week, anyway? Well …
• The Cavemen are back! We don’t even really care that it’s in a Three Doors Down video, either.
• The geeks invaded San Diego for Comic-Con, where Avatar made nerds (but not Quentin Tarantino) cream their jeans, Gary Oldman told everyone that Dark Knight 2 was on the way, and Thom Yorke confessed to loving vampires (sort of).
• Everyone wanted to know the twist ending of Orphan, but will anybody actually go see it?
• We got a quick sneak peak at Mad Men season three and learned that Don Draper can sit still for two hours at a time.
• There’s a whole new crop of British dudes to swoon after.
• Big week on late-night for 30 Rock stars: Alec Baldwin played with your look and Tracy Morgan considered pawning his Emmys.
• Beck will be contributing some songs for Scott Pilgrim.
• Paula Abdul is threatening to leave American Idol if she doesn’t get $20 million per year to space out on television two nights a week. Don’t worry, Simon, there’s always Susan Boyle!
• Katie Holmes got happy, the unfortunate by-product of which was making SYTYCD audiences get sad.
• The poor, idea-challenged Katherine Heigl was forced to work seventeen hours one day, which is ironic, considering her best friend T.R. Knight left the show because he wasn’t working enough.
• The “morons” who write Entourage took the piss out of Seth Rogen and he was none too happy about it.
• Not only is Conan O’Brien hurting in the late-night ratings, but now Jimmy Fallon is too.
• Chris “Monster” Brown barely apologized for what went down with Rihanna, but somehow his comeback got jump-started by a viral video.
• Judd Apatow showed Adam Sandler his penis, while Cameron Diaz likely never wants to see Lou Lumenick’s.
