11.02.09 LINKS: JANUARY JONES TO HOST ‘SNL’

Save the date. January Jones will host the November 14th episode of “Saturday Night Live” with musical guest Black Eyed Peas. I gotta feeling — wooo-hoooo — that that night’s gonna be a good night. Except for the music.  (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the Dave Matthews Band anchor the following week’s show.) [Orlando Sentinel]

The 14 Most Awesome Fake Products from’The Simpsons’ — As much as I rail against lists in lieu of actual expository writing, I have to admit that this is a cool compilation. So much fun to revisit classic gags like malk and Skittlebrau. [Guyism]

As expected… TNT has picked up “Southland.” Starting in January, it will air all seven episodes from Season 1, followed by the six Season 2 episodes that are already in the can. [The Live Feed]

Phew! A while back, the A.V. Club jokingly predicted that the Duggars would take over North America if they kept reproducing at that clip. Thankfully, someone took that way too seriously and debunked it. [boingboing]

‘Sons of Anarchy’ writer is just as badass as his show. Series creator Kurt Sutter got confronted by a TV development executive after he criticized crappy network dramas. Then he owned her ass. Awesome. [SutterInk]

Remember the Madonna-Lady Gaga skit on ‘SNL’? When the Ryan Reynolds/Gaga episode re-aired this weekend, NBC replaced the live version with the take from the show’s dress rehearsal. It’s a slightly different script with better execution.  Still not funny, but less unfunny. [bohemea]
