Lindsay Lohan is apparently just as obsessed with True Blood as we all are. So much so, that she and her friends had a vampire party. You weren't invited. Oh man, celebrities are just like US!
TV Buzz Written by Jonathan Ames and starring Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis — with Kirsten Wiig, Parker Posey, Ted Danson and likely a slew of others — Bored To Death is HBO's fall hope for a new hit. Schwartzman plays a Brooklyn writer living out his noir detective fantasies. Galifianakis apparently plays his bearded accomplice, or just an insane person.
Picture the Obama administration as a bunch of ambitious young bros, add in Hillary Clinton as a bull in a pantsuit with a mouth like a sailor, and this is what you get. P.S. We're still patiently waiting for the W.-era Mama's Family parody.
TV Buzz The First Family's TV habits include a lot of sports and HBO. Your president loves Entourage so much that he actually schedules conference calls around the show. Did he miss the “Smart Dudes Love 'The Wire' More Than Anything” memo? Because Lloyd is the best, but maybe the President should have a favorite show that does not rely on 4 plots and good-natured racism.
TV Buzz David Chase is back, everyone! The Sopranos creator will write and direct a new mini-series about old school Hollywood. And it's on HBO, so everyone can cuss and f*ck and kill and stuff, just like they used to. Color me excited.
Thanks to HBO, you can now see the fake presidential penis featured in Will Ferrell's You're Welcome, America. And thanks to the internet, you can see it without paying for HBO. In the end, all of the internet returns to the free penis.
Will Ferrell as George Bush interviews Will Ferrell as George Bush. This might get confusing, but one thing's for certain…you'll see more Bush here than at a 1979 cheerleading competition.
Celebrity Buzz The bombshell will star in and executive produce an HBO series about a woman in her early 50s who divorces her high-profile hubby and re-entering the singles market. Also, Ellen Barkin divorced her high-profile hubby before re-entering the singles market. Just saying.
TV Buzz The not-Australian duo Flight of the Conchords are almost back for season 2, and to kick things off they're throwing a lip dub video contest! All you gotta do is lip-synch the “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros” rap send it in and you could end up in a mastermix video that will air on HBO. Who's the muthaflippin?!

Is serial slavish critical devotion to a revolving set of shows — from Sopranos to The Wire to Mad Men — a sign of the shallowness of our cultural discourse, or our deep need to connect? I love think pieces about TV, and also Mad Men is so totally awesome, you should really watch it!
TV Buzz Versatile character actor Chris Lilley brings his mockumentary series — set inside a high school — to HBO via Australia, where he's already a household name. So basically he's Frank Caliendo, but funny.
TV Buzz HBO is hoping to do with British import Little Britain what it did with New Zealand’s Flight of the Conchords: make the weird, niche-y smash in its native homeland a stateside success. You know a character-driven sketch show is on HBO when it includes two ‘roid-happy, totally-not-gay gym buddies with eensy weensy pencil d*cks.
TV Buzz David Simon’s next project for HBO is about the Lincoln assassination and the 12-day search that ended in the capture of John Wilkes Booth. Manhunt will reunite Simon with Tom Fontana, the guy behind Oz who also originally adapted Simon’s Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets for TV. In other words: Good times.
Celebrity Buzz A longtime beloved “alternative” comic, Galifianakis might finally earn deserved notoriety with upcoming high-profile projects, including the much-buzzed-about HBO series Bored To Death If Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt, and Flight Of The Conchords can find mainstream audiences, it’s about time Zach got his due. And any chance to knock Carlos Mencia off the cultural radar is worth it.
Business Buzz For a rumored $10M, HBO has staked claim of 10% of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s site (made famous by “The Landlord”), including five hours of TV programming and possibly live comedy. So for all who are trying to determine how viral videos can turn a profit, the answer seems to lie in already being rich, famous, and well-respected.
TV Buzz An HBO miniseries brings us a new view of war. It seems like a no-brainer that this will be great: The book it’s based on is one of the best accounts of the early days of the Iraq War, Evan Wright’s “Generation Kill,” and David “I Made the F*cking Wire” Simon is at the helm. The miniseries starts on July 13.
TV Buzz Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney star in a seven-part miniseries about the Adams and the creation of the United States. Produced by Tom Hanks and based on David McCullough’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book, John Adams follows the life of the least iconic Founding Father ever. Premieres March 16.
TV Buzz A new HBO show about vampires in Louisiana is produced by Alan Ball of Six Feet Under fame and stars Anna Paquin. It won’t be out until the fall, but TV viewers in Buffy withdrawal are already buzzing about it. We just hope that by the time this series comes out, vampires won’t be totally tired and passe. (See Vampire Weekend, teen vampire lit.)
Movie Buzz A new documentary from the director of Born Rich about the wealth gap. Jamie Johnson, an heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune, returns to director’s chair with a look at how and why 1 percent of the U.S. population controls half of the country’s wealth. Debuting this Thursday on Cinemax and HBO.
