We all have limits, Bachelor fans. And tonight, I just might have hit mine. It’s all thanks to Gia, who does something so unbelievably stupid in tonight’s episode that I shouted out loud at my television like a crazy person. Somewhere, Bachelor Pad mastermind Mike Fleiss is no doubt laughing and rubbing his hands together maniacally, because Gia handed him a fantastic (and infuriating) reality TV moment on a dumb-decision platter. If you haven’t seen tonight’s episode, you may want to steer clear of the spoileriffic comments section, but if you’ve just finished watching and need a place to vent your anger, you’ve come to the right spot. Were you surprised by tonight’s proclamation of love? Did you throw something at your TV when Gia made her strategic error? Are you embarrassed (like I am) about how invested you are in this show? Stay tuned for my full recap later tonight (UPDATE: Click over to read the full Bachelor Pad recap, now live) and Chris Harrison’s behind-the-scenes Bachelor Pad blog. In the meantime, vent your spleen below!

'Dragon Tattoo' casts its Lisbeth Salander: Have you seen Rooney Mara in previous roles?
Rooney Mara just landed the role of Lisbeth Salander in the U.S. remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. We’ve known for weeks now that director David Fincher had hoped to cast an unknown for the lead role in the hottest literary adaptation in development right now (or possibly ever?), and that’s why we here at PopWatch HQ don’t feel too bad about not having any recollection of seeing Mara on screen beyond the trailer for The Social Network (where she plays Erica). Heck, not even a scan of her IMDb credits could jog our memories. Is this like a S1m0ne thing? Did Fincher just whip up a “Rooney Mara” prototype with his dark and stylish puppetmaster claws? Take a gander at Rooney’s credits and see if any bells ring or ER sirens go off.

Danielle Staub reportedly booted from 'Real Housewives of New Jersey.' What other reality 'stars' need to exit the public stage?
Image Credit: Virginia Sherwood/BravoA report in Life & Style claims that beweaved scenery chewer Danielle Staub has been disinvited from returning for a third season of Real Housewives of New Jersey . (A rep for Bravo wouldn’t confirm, stating instead that “We’re focused on season 2 right now…We haven’t announced anything regarding a third season.”) Would that this pseudo news is true! Imagine a world without Danielle’s delusional stage mothering and paranoid fantasies of victimhood. Imagine a world without her frenetic sidekick Danny. Imagine a world without her hiatus PR stunts of lesbian lovers and sex tapes and record-release parties for her put-upon youngest child. Oh for the love of… Danielle has twittered her response to the firing rumors: READ FULL STORY »
'It's Always Sunny' season 6 promos: Halloween episode to reveal Sweet Dee's pregnancy
Some shows are afraid to tell you too much about their new seasons, but not It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Best Comedy Series nominee in EW’s third annual EWwy Awards for the Emmy snubbed that returns to FX Sept. 16. The behind-the-scenes clips below confirm that in season 6, the Paddy’s Pub gang will tackle gay marriage, class issues, Dennis’ love life, a fishing vessel (fingers crossed Charlie and Frank watch Deadliest Catch), more pyrotechnics (two words: meat bomb), and Sweet Dee’s pregnancy — which will be revealed in a Halloween flashback episode that has the guys asking whodunit (who knocked Dee up, that is). That episode also produces the return of the fan-favorite McPoyles (Mac gets with the sister?!).
Who do you think will have fathered Dee’s baby? Is this the greatest can’t-believe-how-much-I-actually-care-about-it mystery since Eric Cartman’s father? READ FULL STORY »

EW Exclusive! Watch the premiere of NBC.com's series 'FCU: Fact Checkers Unit' today!
Fact checkers: Every magazine has ‘em, and while Hollywood has mostly ignored the drama and glamor* of this very essential profession, all that is about to change. NBC is launching a spot-on new dot-com-only series, FCU: Fact Checkers Unit, that chronicles two dotty fact checkers at the fictional Dictum magazine as they go to great lengths to confirm the details of the publication’s stories. Today, you can exclusively watch the first episode of the new series here on EW.com, before its official premiere (alongside two additional episodes) on the show’s NBC.com homepage tomorrow.
The premiere, titled “Paranormal Factivity,” guest stars Luke Perry (at left, with Peter Karinen and Brian Sacca, aka the fact checkers, who created the show alongside Dan Beers) as himself. The series, indeed, is very guest-starry: Scrubs‘ Donald Faison and model Karolina Kurkova are in episodes 2 and 3, while Friday Night Light‘s Zach Gilford, Napoleon Dynamite‘s Jon Heder, rocker Dave Navarro, NCIS‘ Pauley Perrette, and Jeopardy host Alex Trebek are slated to pop up throughout the show’s eight-episode run. So there’s your glamor! Watch the funny—and fast!—first episode here:
Warren the Ape reveals what he'd like to do with Jennifer Aniston and will now take your questions
Image Credit: MTV; Janet Mayer/PR PhotosLast week, Jennifer Aniston revealed that she is obsessed with Warren Demontague, the D-list actor and fabricated American who stars in his own MTV reality show, Warren the Ape (Mondays, 10:30 p.m.), which follows his road to recovery under the guidance of Dr. Drew Pinsky. She said she even has an autographed 8×10 of Warren hanging in her kitchen. Contacted by EW and asked what he’d signed the headshot, Warren admits, “Don’t tell Dr. Drew Pinsky, but I was a little loaded the night I signed it. I believe it was most likely a ribald sketch, a drink recipe, and my phone number. To my knowledge she never called, so I hope she enjoyed the bananatini.” He also added, “Most celebrities want nothing to do with me since my career tanked. I swear, even O.J. Simpson says I’m bad for his image. But if my show can reach just one attractive person in this crazy industry, then perhaps there’s hope. And maybe this washed up Ape is finally ready for his spin cycle.”
Aniston has said she’s already brainstorming ways for her to pop up on his show. What would Warren like to do with her? “Other than the entire Kama Sutra?,” he tells EW. “Honestly, I would want to do nothing to betray the integrity of my show, which is 100 percent reality. We’d start by just having a light lunch while the cameras were on, and see where things naturally led. But I suppose if it helped ratings we could also try playing a former astronaut and mystery writer who pose as Top Chefs to solve supernatural crimes for America’s culinary elite. You know, so long as it felt real.”
In PopWatch’s great tradition of interviewing our favorite D-list reality stars (see Q&As with: Scott Baio, Christopher Atkins, and Adrian Zmed), we’ve arranged for Warren the Ape to answer your questions. Submit them by noon ET Wednesday, and come back next Monday for his answers. Below, watch a clip from tonight’s new Warren the Ape, which finds him not working through his anger issues with Mick ‘Mankind’ Foley after they meet in a fast food restaurant, bond in a strip club, and decide to play miniature golf.

Adrian Grenier of 'Entourage' rocks '90210'
Image Credit: Michael Desmond/The CWDrumroll, please: Adrian Grenier will appear in the Sept. 27 episode of 90210, EW.com has learned. The Entourage star pops up on the CW drama in a musical context, though. His real-life “new wave folk” band, The Honey Brothers (in which he plays drums), performs at an over-the-top 18th birthday party for Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord), who tosses a flirtatious quip in Grenier’s direction. 90210’s third season begins Sept. 13.
