When the TV executives meet the media at the annual CBS upfront presentation in May, there will be certainty and uncertainty when it comes to the Monday night sitcom anchor 'Two and a Half Men.' The certainty is that it will be in the line up because it was renewed for three years in 2009. The uncertainty is if Charlie Sheen will be on 'Two and a Half Men' in the face of his felony charges in Colorado.

There are implications beyond the obvious question of Charlie being there to do 'Two and a Half Men.' He's one of the highest paid actors on television -- approximately $20 million a season -- which accounts for a big chunk of the operating budget. Whether he's on air or written out for a while, he has to be paid.

Trista and Ryan Sutter are parents to a baby boy! The couple met on The Bachelorette in 2002 and, unlike any other relationship on that series, these two stayed together.

According to Celebrity Baby Blog, the little boy was born via c-section on Friday at a hospital in Vail, Colorado, which is where the couple lives. Trista had some complications late in her pregnancy, as she was suffering from both preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, and their son was born a month before his due date. An official statement from the couple says "everyone's doing great".

Trista and Ryan named their son Maxwell Alston. He was a 5 pounds, 3 ounces.

It reportedly took two years of trying, but reality show lovebirds Ryan and Trista Sutter are finally expecting a baby. Trista chose Ryan back in 2002 when she was ABC's The Bachelorette. The couple married three years ago. Unlike pretty much any other relationship from The Bachelor series, these two have actually stuck it out.

I like these two because, unlike other reality show couples (I'm looking at you, Rob & Amber) these two had their televised wedding and a few other gigs, and then got out of the spotlight. I believe they're living near Vail, Colorado.

Trista is 14 weeks along in her pregnancy (too early to know the child's gender) and is due the third week of August. It's gonna be a long, hot summer for that girl. I sure hope she has air conditioning!

Jeez alou, everyone's blogging these days. And it seems like NBC News is at the forefront of making sure all their to stars blog about the "inside scoop" on their shows. It started with "The Daily Nightly", where Brian Williams and others blog about the machinations of putting together a nightly newscast. Now, NBC-owned site iVillage has started a blog written by none other than new Today anchor Meredith Vieira, which they're calling "Meredith Today" (clever, huh?). Right now, there's only two entries: an intro entry where she talks about the Pennsylvania school shooting earlier this week, and there's a new piece about her first reporting assignment in years (she went to Colorado to talk to the family of the girl killed in a school shooting last week).

Not sure if I'll ever read this (I don't read "The Daily Nightly," even though I think I should), but at least we know Meredith will not be shy about holding back in this blog, judging by her nine years on The View. It might be a great read, or it might be a train wreck; either way, it'll be pretty fascinating to keep track of.

(S01E06) The very fact that you were willing to set a monkey on fire for us, that means a lot. - Kevin Beekin

This episode begins with the team talking to an image consultant about making Kevin look better when he's on camera. It seems most viewers don't find him very attractive and one even sent an e-mail saying his skin was so pock marked it looked like a Band-Aid. The consultant, like everyone else on the show, has no idea the news team is really a bunch of comedians, but she does manage to maintain her cool even when Marty tells her everything she's saying is wrong.

Tillie gets a call during the meeting about a girl who has been kidnapped in Florida, and the team begin to cheer and high five each other since this could be a story that gets them national exposure. It's also good news that she's a young, pretty white girl and not some Mexican grandfather, because no one tunes into the news for that sort of thing. Marty adds that the girl must be either found or killed before a certain date if it's to work into Kevin's schedule. It's a funny scene made even funnier by the fact that there's a woman in the room who has no idea it's all a gag.

I seem to be the Everwood guy around here.

For you devoted fans who bought the first season set and have been wondering when the other seasons are going to be released on DVD, here's your answer: they won't be. Warner Brothers says that because of the high costs (and low sales of the set that was released), they won't be releasing any other seasons on DVD.

Of course, if any of you want to go crazy and buy a bunch of copies of the first set so they change their minds, go for it.

I watched Everwood its first season, and found it to be quite good. Very well acted and sincere and it had a different feel than other WB type teen dramas (for one thing, it wasn't really a teen drama - it focused on the adults as much as the kids), and even though I lost track of the show after that first year, I was sad to see it go. There was a glimmer of hope that the show might get a 7th Heaven-like last minute renewal last week, but now it looks like it's gone for good.

But Ausiello says you should keep going with your "Save Everwood" campaigns.

If you enjoy the Real World for some reason, you'll be interested to know the 18th edition of the long-running reality series will debut on MTV later this year. This time the young, vacuous and gorgeous will be setting up residence in Denver, Colorado, the Mile High City, home of skiing, and, since I've never been there before, I'm going to say it's also the birthplace of the triangular waffle. Someone else can verify that. Neither the Governor of Colorado nor the Mayor of Denver, who has the totally awesome surname of "Hickenlooper," know much about the show, but they're welcoming it with open arms. The new cast of melodramatic twentysomethings will live in the city's downtown area, but it's not known just yet what their job will be.
