Don't get us wrong: If we were a Desperate Housewife with a blind (and kinda chubby) husband, we might not put as much effort into our appearance as our supermodel days.

But just because Eva Longoria Parker's Gaby is now a caregiver and mom, does she really have to forgo makeup and choose Mossimo over Manolo?

Look, if we wanted to see fugly women on TV, we'd flip over to Bridezillas, whose sloppy stars have moustaches and stuff. And they're not even married yet.

But we tune into D.H. to watch glamorous women lie, cheat, steal and do yoga on their front porch to seduce underage handymen. So really, we don't care if she's frumpy for a reason. Bring back our coutured and made-up Gaby—and for god's sake, give her a blowout—even if it means one of Bree's kids has to run over Carlos.

Sci Fi

Get ready for a Battlestar Galactica of frakkin' supersized proportions.

Fresh off the announcement that the upcoming 10-episode swan-song season of Battlestar Galactica will include even longer episodes than usual, the Sci Fi Channel has announced that the cult fave will live on a tiny bit longer in the form of a two-hour movie set to air on the cable channel after the series concludes.

The stand-alone special, set in the time period immediately before the Cylons' catastrophic attack on Caprica, will be directed by Edward James Olmos and star series regulars Michael Trucco, Aaron Douglas and Dean Stockwell.

The guys may have been running on fumes, but it was full steam ahead nonetheless.

Joshua Allen and Stephen "Twitch" Boss, neither of whom has any formal training and both of whom needed a weekend hospital visit to treat dehydration, joined fellow finalists Courtney Galiano and Katee Shean for the first night of So You Think You Can Dance's two-part finale and…

Well, if we knew exactly how to spell that sound Mary Murphy makes when she's super excited—that's how we would describe it.

The fab foursome performed five dances apiece, including a solo and a contemporary group number choreographed by Mia Michaels (and costumed by Braveheart), and kept—as they say in hip-hop speak—hittin' it all night.

CBS is investigating a replacement for its lead CSI.

While Grissom is, for all intents and purposes, a goner, the Hollywood Reporter claims that the more than capable Laurence Fishburne is currently in talks for prime-time's cushiest gig, succeeding William Petersen in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Neither CBS nor Paramount, which produces the show, has commented on the possible casting.

Consistency has a long, funny name: SpongeBob SquarePants.

The Nickelodeon cartoon was its usual dominant self in the ratings last week, placing 20 telecasts—yes, 20—among cable's top 50 most watched programs.

The "least"-watched top 50 episode was a Friday-afternoon telecast that averaged 3.2 million, or more viewers than the strong-premiering Lifetime movie Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal (3 million).

Nigel Lythgoe is striking before the iron cools off.

The American Idol executive producer, who flashes his extremely pearly whites in front of the camera as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance, announced he's leaving the über-successful singing competition, which is heading into its eighth season on a ratings downswing despite still being the most watched show on TV.

"I will step back from my day-to-day producing work on American Idol and will be devoting my time" to a new development venture with 19 Entertainment head and fellow Idol mastermind Simon Fuller, Lythgoe said in a statement obtained Monday by E! News.

"Due to the huge success of So You Think You Can Dance, my summer will be taken up by travels to South Africa, Australia and Canada to work on local versions of the show," the 59-year-old former dancer-choreographer said.

So You Think You Can Dance isn't heading to that big parquet in the sky just yet.

Fox has ordered a fifth season of the Emmy-nominated summer hit, to air next year.

"We're delighted to have Dance back for a fifth season next year," the network's president of alternative entertainment, Mike Darnell, said.

The unsurprising renewal news—SYTYCD is a perennial top performer, with its most recent episode drawing 8.6 million viewers—comes just days before the fourth season of the dance competition show draws to a close, with the two-night, four-hour season finale kicking off on Wednesday.
