Now, I’m not totally sure that The Da Vinci Code was so awesome that Dan Brown’s other popular novel, Angels and Demons, needed to be adapted for film, but Hollywood didn’t listen to me on this one and the movie moved forward. Now we have a little peek at what might be in store for us and from this very brief look, the film does appear to be pretty spooky and riveting.

Ron Howard directs and Tom Hanks is again playing Robert Langdon the Harvard symbologist who “works to solve a murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican.” The movie opens May 15.

Have you read this book? Did you like The Da Vinci Code?

Questionable decisions abound on this week’s Lipstick Jungle. Wendy’s still struggling with how to be a stay-at-home mom (and not dealing with her frustrations in the most appropriate ways), Kirby goes to great lengths to prove to Nico he can pay for some stuff, and Victory . . . well, she starts thinking about Joe Bennett again. Ready to talk about this episode? Just

Courteney Cox’s guest appearance on Scrubs won’t be the end of the partnership between her and that show’s creator, Bill Lawrence. The two are teaming up for a new comedy called Cougar Town, which will star Cox as a newly single 40-year-old with a 17-year-old son.

“Forty-year-old women on TV are so beautiful and perfect and wrinkle-free,” Lawrence told The Hollywood Reporter. “People don’t do the reality of it, and there is a real comedy area about a woman who is talking about Botox, about having sex with the lights on and how her body is changing.” He said he based parts of the role on his wife, Christa Miller, who plays Jordan on Scrubs.

Lawrence first worked with Cox on Friends and described her as “comedically fearless,” which makes sense: Back at TCA, he talked how she was “up for anything” and he’d had to leave her back at the set during the Scrubs panel because she was filming a gory-sounding fantasy sequence. For her part, Cox said she’s “a huge fan of Bill Lawrence and his comedic sensibilities.”

After the darkness of Dirt, it should be fun to see Cox back to doing comedy. Just one thing, though: The name Cougar Town makes me cringe a little. I guess I’m just not ready to “reclaim” the word cougar yet. Can you work on that, Bill?

It’s probably not surprising for one with his particular gift/predicament, but Ned the piemaker has never been much of a gambler. On this week’s episode of Pushing Daisies, Ned reveals a little more of the background that’s kept him away from most games of chance. Emerson, on the other hand, takes some chances of his own with love on the brain, and the murder made me suddenly, insatiably hungry for pork buns. To talk about this episode, just
