Stuff I found while reading the entire Internet (and a little bonus Wilco at the very end):
——————————————————-
That creepy looking bald dude they kept showing during the All-Star Game? Part of a Fox viral marketing campaign for “Fringe.”
UPDATE: Sounds like the footage wasn’t even live. The whole thing is getting more and more insidious.
——————————————————-
FX is doing a sitcom revolving around a fantasy football league. Hope it’s not as boring as real people talking about their fantasy team. Speaking of which, I finally got around to dumping Paul Maholm and picked up Brett Anderson for my fantasy team. I think it’s a good long-term move, maybe even a steal. I still need a good middle reliever though, because I had to drop Sean White when Ryan Doumit came off the DL. Hmmm. . . . . (See? Boring.)
——————————————————-
Some guy says he came up with the idea for “Lost” in 1977, and is suing. Yeah, good luck with that.
——————————————————-
The one good new character that “Scrubs” introduced — Denise, the butch doc with a heart of coal — will return to the show next season.
——————————————————-
ABC is delaying one of its more highly anticipated new shows, “Parenthood,” while star Maura Tierney undergoes surgery for breast cancer. Yikes. Here’s wishing her the best.
——————————————————-
Reality show participants are getting into politics. And a single tear runs down Abe’s cheek at the Lincoln Memorial.
——————————————————-
Meanwhile, TWOP looks at the reality stars we’d actually like to see in public office. Joyce and Uchenna for co-secretaries of state? I could go for that.
——————————————————-
Toby Young says he’ll be less assey this season on “Top Chef.” So does that mean he’s just not going to speak?
——————————————————-
Kathy Griffin will host the Creative Arts Emmys. I see no way this will not end in a shower of f-bombs and calls for a public apology from at least one special interest group.
——————————————————-
Oh lord, Daphne Zuniga has signed on to make an appearance on the new “Melrose Place.” Hey, I understand. In these tough times, it’s hard to reject any job offer.
——————————————————-
Life imitates art: There was a fatal shooting outside Jamie Hector’s (Marlo on “The Wire”) Brooklyn apartment. Hmmm, where was Michael?
——————————————————-
Speaking of “The Wire,” the guy who played Tommy Carcetti says American actors are afraid to play bad guys.
——————————————————-
Which is less lame: “Dark Blue” or “Leverage”? (I know “Leverage” has its fans, but the original British show “Hustle” is so much better.)
——————————————————-
The secret to great food TV: gross food or attractive hosts. Well duh.
——————————————————-
“Mad Men” is promising a wham-bang season premiere. One more month to go . . .
——————————————————-
Matthew Fox says he’s done with TV after “Lost.” Um, hope those rerun royalties keep rolling in Matt, ’cause if you’re banking your future on movies like “Vantage Point,” you might want to think again.
——————————————————-
Emmy nominations are coming out tomorrow. Here’s a list of six comedies you probably won’t see on the list. But I agree, they all should be.

And finally, check out Wilco with special guest Feist last night on Letterman:
