Ever since Steve Carell left The Office at the end of last season, the show has clearly been a little less than it once was. We are totally on board with Ed Helms as the boss, and with the addition of James Spader, but maybe after eight seasons, it's time to pack it up.

Naturally, NBC is looking for a way to keep the magic coming, so it is plotting a spinoff...starring Rainn Wilson. The show will take place on Schrute Farms, and apparently producers have been trying to recruit current Office-mates to be a part of it.

Would we watch this show? Okay, we would give it a shot. But it seems like they should just leave well enough alone, if you ask us. (Nobody did.)

Is Wheel of Fortune really so simple that the host can be drunk and we wouldn't notice?

That's what Pat Sajak is saying. Back in the day, he said, he and Vanna White would go across the street during their dinner break and pound margaritas. Then they would come back wasted and fim the show. He said they had trouble recognizing the alphabet.

"I have no idea if the shows were any good," he said," but no one said anything, so I guess I did okay." Yes. Yes, you did. Pat and Vanna, we salute you.

This week when the Oscar nominations were announced, one of the biggest surprises was the inclusion of Demian Bichir for a movie called A Better Life, mostly because most people have never heard of it. So we're taking it back a little for a See It or Skip It: Oscars Edition.

A Better Life was directed by Chris Weitz, who also made About a Boy, and is about the lengths a father (played by Bichir) will go to support his family. It's not in the theatres anymore, but it is definitely available on Netflix.

Tim Gunn says he is celibate. That's right. He revealed that he has not had sex in 29 years.

"Do I feel like less of a person for it?" he said. "No. Not even remotely."

The reason is that he had an intense relationship that ended badly, and he hasn't looked back since. He said: "I'm a perfectly fulfilled person...but it's very psychological."

Now we feel like we want to play matchmaker. Tim Gunn is so loveable. There must be a man out there who will love him for him, and not because he's an awesome celebrity. Tim, don't worry. We will find you someone to end the dry spell!

Everyone knows the real Oscar battle this year is between Viola Davis in The Help and Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady. Meryl is the most honored actor of all time, but hasn't won one in almost thirty years. Viola would become only the second African American to win Best Actress. The stakes are high for both women, and they are ready for the competition...at least Viola is, as long as it stays friendly.

"Friendly competition—although, I can whoop Meryl Streep's behind in a good, old fashioned street fight. Now, as far as the Oscars, I'm not sure about that."

Whoa there! Who said anything about a street fight? But now that you mention it, we would be willing to watch that on Pay-Per-View.

What kind of contractual obligation is Kate Beckinsale under exactly? How many Underworld movies can there possibly be? We suppose that Angelina Jolie teachs us that you can be both an action hero and a serious actor, but she at least takes on more interesting parts.

In Underworld Awakening, Beckinsale, once again, plays Selene the vampire warrior fighting to save her people (the vampires, natch) from humans, who have declared an all out war. Why do we suddenly miss Bella?

Cynthia Nixon looks distraught. Maybe it's because she lost all of her hair, and looks sort of like an alien.

Nixon shaved off all her hair for a role as a cancer-patient in a revival of the play Wit on Broadway. She has also gotten into a little bit of trouble these days, because she told a crowd that her gayness is a choice. (She is currently engaged to her female partner, but has two children with her ex-husband as well.) She angered many members of the gay community, but she stands by what she said.

"I understand that for many people it's not, but for me it's a choice, and you don't get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it's a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesn't matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here, and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not."

We're not totally sure how we feel about that, but good for her for being honest and continuing to speak out.

We all expected The Artist to be the top film when the Oscar nominations were announced, but Hugo has come out swinging with 11 nominations. The Artist received ten.

They compete against seven other films for Best Picture: The Descendants, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Help, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, and War Horse. Though, The Artist is still the heavy favorite to win.

Meanwhile in the acting races, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Fassbender got knocked out of the Best Actor race. George Clooney is the favorite, but he could see some competition from his buddy Brad Pitt.

Rooney Mara was a surprise nominee in the Best Actress race, which is already a showdown between Meryl Streep and Viola Davis.

The awards will be given out on February 26th, and you can see all of the nominees here.

Red Tails is one of the few non-Star Wars-related films that George Lucas has produced. He started developing the film in 1988, and now finally, more than 20 years later, it has been released. It is the story of the Tuskegee airmen during World War II, a group of African-American fighter pilits.

The film, which stars Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrence Howard, covers the same ground as the HBO film from several years ago, but doesn't necessarily do it better, sadly. This is a story that should be told more than once, and deserves its due.

We know that the rumor mill says that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant every week. She's had about a million secret babies since Friends ended. Didn't you hear?

Here's what we know now though. She has told her team she wants to take a break from acting for a little while to focus on herself. Does that mean that perhaps baby makes three for Justifer?

All we know is that Jen and Justin Theroux are still going strong. And we know that she is definitely/maybe/probably/maybe not/probably not pregnant right now. But when we know which one it is, we will definitely tell you. In the meantime, Wanderlust comes out in next month. It's wear the couple met, so you can watch them fall in love for the first time all over again.
