Our special summer Must List double issue is on stands now. But you know what’s not on stands? Exclusive video with many of the stars of the issue! (Everyone knows you can’t put video “on stands” — it just doesn’t make any sense, for Pete’s sake.) So if you were hoping to take a gander behind the scenes at our sexy Megan Fox photo shoot, spend a few moments with Lost‘s Josh Holloway, see what cover boy Ryan Reynolds has to say, or hang with the cast of True Blood, then have we got the video for you. What video, you ask? Why, the latest episode of Must List Live!, of course. Click on the video below to take it all in. And if you thought last night’s True Blood development with Lafayette was shocking, wait till you see what trashy reality show actor Nelsan Ellis is obsessed with. The answer awaits…

Kendra Wilkinson on her laugh, cheesesteaks, and not raising her kids like Jon & Kate
How far along are you?
I [was] 12 weeks on Friday. So 12 weeks and a couple days.
Will the show follow your pregnancy?
Yeah. I'm okay with them following the pregnancy, but I'm a little nervous. I don't think it's going to be okay if they shoot after the pregnancy. I'm definitely going to spend some time with my baby. I don't need too many people around shining these bright lights and cameras and stuff. I don't want my baby being born into that. I want my baby being born into love with Hank and I.
So no cameras in the delivery room?
No. I mean, Hank's camera only.
Are you only looking to do the show up until the baby is born? Will you be taking a break?
I see this show as, yeah, it's a home video of us, but at the same time, I see it as a job. It's a fun thing, too. The show is very classy, the way [E!] does it. It's not some trashy show. And I definitely wouldn't put every single detail out there, like Jon and Kate. They put out every single detail of their kids. It just blows me away how much stuff they put out there of them. It's too much they put out. I know if we do end up filming with the baby, it's going to be very, very limited. It won't show as much as Jon & Kate.
But you're not closed off to doing a show after the baby is born?
No, that's my job. That's my life. That's my career. We have fun doing it because we love the people that are surrounding us doing it. And we trust them, you know?

'The Proposal': Romantic comedy done right
For me, there really is no better feeling than being 15 minutes into a romantic comedy and knowing that the inevitable happy ending will actually be worth the ride. Did you feel it with The Proposal? (EW's Lisa Schwarzbaum did. Read her review here.) Are you ready to see Ryan Reynolds as a leading man and welcome back Sandra Bullock, who should be looking at her first No. 1 opening weekend since 1999's Forces of Nature? (Sometimes Reynolds' mug is still a little boyish for me, but I'm warming to him…enough to finally watch that copy of Definitely, Maybe I'd grabbed from the giveaway table when it came out on DVD.) And — SPOILER ALERT! — how great was Betty White's helicopter fake-out?

Father's Day: The movie scene that affected you most
Jim: Well, if it's any consolation, I love you. And if this guy can't see in you all the beautiful and wonderful things that I see, then he's got the problem.
Samantha: I know. It just hurts.
Jim: That's why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they'd call 'em something else.
Samantha: But if I were Ginny, I'd have this guy crawling on his knees.
Jim: Well, let me tell you something about Ginny. Now, I love her as much as I love you. But she's a different person. Sometimes I worry about her. When you're given things kind of easily, you don't always appreciate them. With you, I'm not worried. When it happens to you, Samantha, it'll be forever.
Thanks, Jim. Your late-night speech got me through many a crush and made me okay with being a late-bloomer because I believed the wait was in exchange for the lasting love I would one day find being somehow sweeter.*
Your turn.
*Only my Jake Ryan didn't show up the next day, and I'm still waiting. Not that I'm bitter.

Young girl's dying wish to see 'Up' granted with home screening
Every time I let myself think about Colby, I well up. I know the excitement at seeing the trailer — the colors, the humor, the mystery of how this latest Pixar film will take you on an adventure that always leads back to your own heart in the end. And Up is all about making a dream come true. How wonderful that her family got even the smallest comfort knowing that they made this happen for her (and knowing that even as her body gave out, her sense of wonder and imagination didn’t).
Sometimes movies are just fleeting entertainment, and sometimes they are memories that stay with you. I’m sitting here brushing away tears because I’m happy that Colby got to take Up with her. I hope somehow her 10-year-old mind was able to understand that Carl’s quest to get Ellie to the Paradise Falls means that your loved ones don’t forget you when you’re gone. And now, Colby, neither will we.
'Year One': Are you a doer or a sayer when it comes to comedy?
My point is not to gross you out. It’s that Black is a doer, and Cera is a sayer. There’s no reason you can’t like both brands of comedy, but I suspect deep down you appreciate one more than the other. I tend to find the commentary funnier than the act. For instance, I laughed harder when Cera said, “They’re doing the jackal dance, it’s not my strongest,” than when he actually danced. Seeing Cera’s character wet himself while hanging upside down wasn’t nearly as hilarious as Black saying, “Hey, I’m peeing on my face too, on the inside.” And that snake wrapping itself around Cera’s neck couldn’t top Black’s suggestion on how he could save himself: “You could eat it before it eats you.”
Are you a doer or a sayer when it comes to comedy? Vote in the poll below. And what did you think of Year One? Read Owen Gleiberman’s review here.
President Obama: Geek, jock, or both? John Hodgman takes him to task
I'm not gonna offer too much preamble to this, writer-actor-Colonial surgeon John Hodgman's address to President Obama at the 2009 Radio and TV Correspondents Dinner. I'll just say that it's a nimble, brilliant dissection of what it means to be a nerd and how the Bush administration was staffed by jocks. Oh, and how President Obama may just be the man to straddle that great cultural divide.
By the way, I know the answer to those three Dune questions Hodgman posed at the end. Without doing any research. Because I am a geek. Do you? (I'll pop the answers in the comments.)
Maya Rudolph on her 'SNL' greatest hits!
Whitney Houston Her fake Geico commercial opposite Andy Samberg is perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen on SNL. "All I was trying to do was make Andy laugh," she says. "You could see him just barely holding on at the end. But my goal was to get him to break."
Oprah Winfrey Remember the genius skit where the audience member's head exploded? "When I did Oprah, I picked up on her talking [in sing-song voice] like thii-iiisss. I felt like it conveyed the feeling of Oprah to me. It made me laugh. And now I swear she does it more!"
Donatella Versace "That was so fun to do because we didn't make her a real person, so any scenario worked. She could sit in a bathtub with a hairdryer because she loved the feeling of electrocution. She broke things over her head, walked through walls, burned herself. And she was into it. She thought it was fantastic."
Jodi Dietz Rudolph channeled a New York City housewife on the talk show Bronx Beat. "I still find myself slipping into Bronx Beat. She's our real friend, Jodi Mancuso, who works at the show in the hair department. She loves it. She'd give us ideas: 'You should tawk about prime rib. You should tawk about cutsa meat.' I love that woman."
Pamela Bell Rudolph's over-the-top National Anthem singer is one for the ages. "I was making fun of this new style of singing that people seem to do, where not only do they lay it on thick, they have, like, 20 different voices in the same song, which I find so incredibly strange. I actually got the idea from American Idol, one of those montages of people singing the same song. Everyone was singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game.' And there was this girl who was supposed to sing 'Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks,' and she said, 'Buy me some ee-nuts and Apple Jacks.'"
'SYTYCD': Cat Deeley blogs episode 9
We held the L.A. auditions for season 6 this week. Lots of amazingly talented dancers and some familiar faces. Evan's brother Ryan came back and auditioned again. He did an incredible dance and poetry piece — truly unique. He got a ticket to Vegas. I love it when people work hard and improve, and it culminates in success! I did get some severe ribbing from Evan during rehearsals, though, due to the fact that I cried when I found out Ryan was through! Just couldn't help it!
Doriana Sanchez was back on the show to choreograph a disco routine for Brandon and Jeanette. Dori is a goddess for many reasons, but I'd just like to highlight a couple: First, she was a featured dancer in Dirty Dancing, one of my favorite films of all time! She was the girl in the blue-and-black polka-dot dress. Second, she is Creative Director and Choreographer of the Cher show, currently on at Caesar’s Palace. When we were in Vegas for the callbacks, I got to go to the show, go backstage, go into Cher's closet, ride on her boat, and generally take lots of goofy pictures — so much fun! The show was incredible — it's visually stunning and features all of Bob Mackie's finest work. I have to say, Cher looks amazing. Her body is beyond!
Anyway, back to Brandon and Jeanette's disco routine. The two of them were just a blur, flying around the stage like whirling dervishes. At one point Jeanette lost her footing and almost wiped out, but she was such a pro and just continued being thrown around the stage by Brandon. Studio 54, eat your heart out!
Another stand-out performance for me was Jonathan and Karla's contemporary routine. Jonathan nailed it, even though he was out of his comfort zone. They performed to a song taken from the soundtrack to the film “Once” — you may remember it from the Oscars a couple of years ago. The film is lovely, the music is beautiful, and the dancers performed wonderfully. So much so that they succeeded in providing the first "Deeley Chills" of the season! This is when a performance physically moves me so much that I get chills and goose bumps on my arms. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does you can pretty much guarantee the routine has been amazing! This was no exception!
The results show featured a group routine by Mia Michaels. Amazing! The dancers were supposed to be aliens; they were covered in Maori-inspired tattoos and wore skinny black mod suits with ties. I thought I'd stick with the theme and bust out a little Yves Saint Laurent! I wore a white suit called "le smoking" — it's a classic. YSL has been making the same design for years — in fact Bianca Jagger wore one to her wedding to Mick Jagger. I joked with the dancers that, onstage with them, I felt like Madonna and desperately wanted to break into "Do you believe in love? Cuz I got something to say about it! And it goes something like this!" I held back, much to Kupono's disdain!
Unfortunately, two dancers had to leave us once again, so it was goodbye to Ashley and Max. I hate Thursdays!
Then it was a quick glass of champagne with my fabulous glamour squad, who I call "The Kids,” then off to the airport. We are bound for New Orleans for auditions for season 6; we're there till Sunday the 21st. If you think you can dance, head down to the Morial Convention Center. Or join us next week in Phoenix — I'd love to see you there!

Guess who will be sent home this week in our SYTYCD Prediction Challenge
Enter the Fray: Taylor Swift, Chace Crawford, and one juicy 'American Idol' conspiracy theory
10. So, Jennifer Aniston is going to star in another romantic comedy. Thisone's called Love Happens. And its romantic trailer dropped this week. Hmm…Aniston in a new rom-com? No way! She never does those.
9. Karen Valby watched the season finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and chose not to save the drama for her mama and kindly share it all with us instead.
8. PopWatchers had a strong case of Must lust this week, and were exceptionally vocal about their pop culture must-haves this week. Perhaps a shirtless Ryan Reynolds inspired the tizzy?
7. Story of the week that sounds like it's from The Onion but — for whatever reason — is not: Taylor Swift rapped with T-Pain at the CMT Awards. Oh yeah, she also poured sugar with Def Leppard. S-t-r-a-n-g-e.
6. Hey Glambert! Please call up Madonna and sweet-talk her into doing a duet for your new album. Love, Michael Slezak.
5. Rough week for Robert Pattinson. Fans preyed upon his film set. He got hit by a cab. And he lost out to Chace Crawford as People's Hottest Bachelor. Better luck next week, R-Patt!
4. Second Onion-esque headline of the week: Heidi Pratt says Al Roker 'attacked' her. From the looks of it, PopWatch readers would love to attack Heidi Pratt.
3. The fallout from Glambert's Rolling Stone cover continued with a 20/20 interview in which the Idol runner-up stated he makes out with girls from time to time.
2. Jillian and her crew of boy-toys headed up to Whistler for a romantic Canadian getaway, and Chris Harrison was there (well, obviously) to give readers some much-needed behind-the-scenes insight.
1. Oh, 19 Entertainment. Slezak wants to trust but can't shake the feeling you might be plotting some career-sabotage against your latest Idol winner, Kris Allen.
