"Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" was not a good TV show, but recently the "cast and crew" of the late, unlamented program have all begun Tweeting as if the show-within-the-show was actually real. And still on the air. This might be the greatest idea anybody has ever had.—JM

Before the basketball season I polled my Facebook friends, asking whether I was allowed to disavow the Minnesota Timberwolves (and nobody argued that the Timberwolves didn't deserve it) and become an Oklahoma City Thunder fan. My Facebook people voted "no." The bastards.—JM
They don't really say that. But read this if you want some behind-the-scenes scuttlebutt on the pair's transcendent Broadway musical "The Book of Mormon."—JM

Heh. That one guy's name is "Smallwood."—JM
