Watch These Clips Now: Kathy and Anderson!

Starting with the night before New Year's, Kathy and Anderson call Kathy's mom -- who's drinking her box of wine -- and hilarity ensues.  The clips from the actual New Year's broadcast are below the jump-- including the already infamous dick joke from Kathy that's bound to be an instant insult classic.

Celebs We Lost

We lost a lot of talented people in 2008, but their work will live on forever in film and video.  Take a look at some of the highlights below.

"Gilligan" Casting Call!

I'm not a fan of remakes, but I will say this: when they are done right, they can be great. Take "The Brady Bunch Movie" (the first one); it was a good in its own right, but more importantly it successfully tapped into the nostalgia for the show while still giving us what we wanted from our favorite characters.

But what really makes or breaks a remake is casting. And now that word is out that Sherwood Schwartz is finally getting his feature-length movie version of his beloved "Gilligan's Island" series, it’s time to sit right back and play Casting Call!

Actor From "The Sopranos" Commits Suicide

Sad news to share: John Costelloe, the actor who played the gay cook Jim "Johnny Cakes" Witowski on The Sopranos, committed suicide just before Christmas.

According to press reports, police went to Costelloe's Brooklyn home on December 18 looking for the 47-year-old actor because family members had been unable to reach him—he was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

"Santa Baby" Eartha Kitt Dies on Christmas Day

Eartha Kitt, the sultry diva known best for her turn as the third Catwoman on the campy Batman TV series of the 60s, died Christmas Day from colon cancer. Memorable performances on stage, screen and in the recording studio peppered her 60-some year career.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"

I’m seldom accused of being sentimental. And I’m not often made emotional by movies. In fact, even though I know it may lead to my being labeled un-American, I’ll proudly stand up and declare that I hated that touchstone “touching” classic Forrest Gump. I found it to be frighteningly sweet, predictable and well, boring. I was therefore surprised to find myself teary at a recent screening of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," a film that shares many parallels and was even penned by the same scriptwriter, Eric Roth

Luke & Noah Kiss Twice on "As The World Turns"

In case you missed it, below are the TWO kissing scenes between Luke (Van Hansis) and Noah (Jake Silbermann) from the December 22nd episode of "As the World Turns."  Enjoy!

Does Gale Harold Have A Future On "Desperate Housewives?"

  Is Gale Harold going to return to Desperate Housewives?

That's the question that everyone has been asking in the wake of an October motorcycle accident that left the actor, who we first came to know and love on Queer As Folk, hospitalized with swelling on the brain and a fractured shoulder.

While we had heard that Gale was going to make a full recovery, which was a relief, we weren't getting a lot of details as to how long that recovery might take and whether we would see him on Desperate Housewives again anytime soon.

Series creator Marc Cherry reportedly had left the door wide open for Gale to come back, but then E! Online recently claimed that the situation wasn't looking promising for his return to the show. In fact, a source told E! Online that Gale was "majorly injured," adding, "I don't believe he'll be coming back."

Andy Dick Joins "Celebrity Rehab Sober House"

Before we could slip into withdrawal, Celebrity Rehab is back!

As it turns out, the cast members from season two, which just wrapped up, were given the opportunity to spend three months living in a sober house, and it was all caught on film, resulting in Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House, an eight-episode series premiering on VH1 Thursday, January 15 at 10 p.m.

Rodney King, Nikki McKibbin, Steven Adler and Amber Smith from season two will be joining Seth "Shifty" Binzer and Mary Carey from season one of Celebrity Rehab in the house.

And Andy Dick, who hasn't appeared on either season of Celebrity Rehab, is moving in, too.

Yup, Andy will take up residence in the sober house a few episodes into the show, according to VH1.
