VERONICA MARS
OK so the best new TV show that you aren't watching is Veronica Mars. It's clever, well written and acted...sorta like a bit Buffy, mix in some Twin Peaks and a dash of the O.C.

It is on tonight at 9 PM on UPN.
The official web site is great and will get you caught up.

Check it out and tell me what you think.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR
For many of us 'older' trick or treaters Halloween is all about The Simpsons episode. This coming Sunday the brilliant bloodcurdling creative minds of The Simpsons shock us yet again with the 15th annual Treehouse of Horror episode. This year, in the first of three mini-episodes, we find Ned Flanders after suffering a whack to the head receiving the power of prediction people's deaths and is shocked to discover that he will be the one to kill Homer. In the final Halloween fright-fest, Four Beheadings and a Funeral, we head to Victorian London, where Master Detective Eliza Simpson and her faithful sidekick, Dr. Bartley, attempt to catch The Muttonchop Murderer, a Jack the Ripper-esque serial killer.

And if you haven't checked out Springfield's Hall of Records at The Simpsons official site - where you can learn some secrets by peeking into your favorite residents personnel files...

FAMOUS WILLS
Not sure what it says about me, but Court TV has assembled a list of celebrity wills ranging from Princess Diana to Elvis. The famous wills are in the public domain. They are filled with fascinating tidbits, such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis didn't leave a penny to her sister...

ELECTORAL COLLEGE MAP
PBS created a very cool interactive Electoral College Map and clear understanding how it words. Since today is Election Day (Please tell me you voted...) thought it was appropriate to list this. Lycos searches for Electoral College are up 115%.

FLY OVER YOUR HOUSE
OK this is the coolest thing we have seen in a while. This company Keyhole, just acquired by Google takes satellite images and flies you from one address to another.

It is a 7 week trial download and then you have to pay. It's worth a trial. You can lose a day playing with it.

Feel like Superman... Zoom to street level.

PIC OF DEPP AS WILLY WONKA
The ever reputable, always accurate, London tabloid The Sun has the first picture of Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Rather than being a remake of the 1971 Gene Wilder film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Burton's movie will reportedly be a more faithful adaptation of Dahl's novel.

The film is based on the book by Roald Dahl and scheduled to open, July 15, 2005.

ASHLEE SIMPSON'S SNL DISASTER
If anyone had a chance to watch this week's SNL Saturday night hosted by Jude Law with musical guest Ashlee Simpson, you would have seen a big no-no during Ashlee's second tune.

What should have been a star-enhancing performance, became a pop star's worst nightmare. Supposedly a mix-up in the sound room started feeding in lip-synched audio from 'Pieces Of Me' that she had already sang earlier in the live show.
