    If there's one thing we need in this world, it's clearly MORE vampire shows on TV. Seriously! True Blood isn't on all year round, you know. So I was totally rooting for NBC's new mini-series, Dracula -- even if the original Bram Stoker tale seems to be getting just a teensy bit played out at this point. Maybe this shiny new version, starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers of The Tudors, would be innovative and clever and sexy! Optimism, friends!! Did I mention Dracula is from the producers of Downton Abbey?? How bad can this thing be?

    Then NBC released the official trailer ... and I watched it.

    Ever heard of the EOTM Awards? Me neither. Apparently they're a thing, though, and trophies are handed out to celebs in a bevy of categories, not the least of which is Outstanding Reality Star. Any guesses as to who was nominated? If you guessed DUI-getting, drunk-tweeting, plastic-surgery-loving Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham, you'd be right.

    However, she's not the only Teen Mom who's in the running. Think you can name the other?

    It's happening again! Alec Baldwin is ... one of ... them. They're taking over Hollywood! No, not Scientologists, silly. Vampires. Remember when the eerie photographic evidence of Nicolas Cage's true identity as a vampire was discovered? There's no question the young man in that faded Civil War-era photo was Nic Cage. The only semi-valid debate was whether the picture served as proof of Cage's vampire status or his secret time traveling abilities, but anyone with a passing knowledge of Cage's personal life should be able to connect those dots. (Besides, it's not exactly a huge leap from "actor" to "immortal bloodsucker.")

    And now, thanks to this photograph of Joseph G. Kolans, "Exalted Ruler" of an Elks Lodge from 1964 to 1965, we know that Cage has at least one very, very old friend in the film biz: Alec Baldwin.

    It's been seven seasons since we were first introduced to the snark-filled hilarity of 30 Rock, and as all good things must, it's coming to an end. Tonight's 30 Rock finale wraps up the sitcom, and I'm torn on how I feel about it. On the one hand, it hasn't been quite as funny in recent years, and I'm glad to see them choose to go out on a high note. On the other hand, with so few truly smart comedies on television, what a bummer to say goodbye to the characters many of us have come to love.

    Tonight's double-length episode will surely include jokes harkening back to earlier episodes, wacky plot lines, and plenty of familiar faces -- and as for whether or not it'll be the perfect ending ... well, we'll find out, I suppose. In the meantime, if you're mourning the farewell to come, you're in good company with 30 Rock's cast members. Check out some of the fascinating commentary on the end of a television era, shared by Tracy, Kenneth, Dot Com, and more:

    I haven't been excited about an awards show, any awards show, at all, since junior high when it was everything to watch the MTV Movie Awards in your friend's parents' basement, but that all changed when it was announced Tina Fey and Amy Poehler would be hosting the 2013 Golden Globes. In a little over two weeks (the show's on January 13), our girls Tina and Amy will kick the shit out of the "sloppy, loud party" that is this annual celebration of pretty people on TV and in movies.

    How am I so sure they're going to kill it? Check this out.

    The Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning, and maybe it's just because I'm a mom who sees things with mom glasses, but there's a whole lotta moms on this list. So I just wanted to give them a shout-out for pursuing their dreams and making that wild, dangerous, amazing balancing act of career and family happen. It's hard work and we all make mistakes, but I'm inspired by the women who try.

    Oh Tina Fey, what have you done? We thought you were one of the "good ones" -- so much smarter and more down to earth than the average actor. You wrote the New York Times Bestseller Bossy Pants (and by all accounts, did so yourself), you've won Emmys for your wildly successful show 30 Rock, you've stood up for women's rights, and most importantly you've always just seemed like one of the girls. You are our friend.

    You always came off like a regular person -- a mom just like us. So why (why? why? why?) would you let your daughter drink the Hollywood Kool-Aid at such an early age by giving her a role on your TV show?

    There are many, many reasons why Tina Fey is universally beloved. And last night, while speaking at a gala in support of the Center for Reproductive Rights, she gave us even more reason to adore her. Discussing the wild and crazy state of affairs in politics -- specifically women's issues -- Tina lamented, "I wish we could have an honest and respectful dialogue about these complicated issues, but it seems like we can't right now. And if I have to listen to one more gray-faced man with a $2 haircut explain to me what rape is, I'm going to lose my mind!" Sing it, sister!!!

    Oh, and then, somehow, it got even better.

    The 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are on tonight (starting at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific and airing on ABC), and from what we know so far, the show is shaping up to be a must-watch event. With gorgeous red carpet fashion, 26 statuettes to be won, and three hours spent with the most talented folks in the TV biz (sorry, Kim Kardashian) at the Nokia Theatre in downtown L.A., what's not to be psyched about?!

    Well, personally, I would have preferred to see the return of Jane Lynch as host, but Jimmy Kimmel is sure to crack us up, and besides, as he himself admitted, no one ever just tunes in to see the host anyway. But here's what we will be looking forward to ...

    Ryan Lochte is taking over. Seriously. He's going to take over everything. He's already taken over the Olympics. Then it will be reality TV (The Bachelor and Dancing With the Stars and his own show). Then unwatchable tween TV shows (90210). Then the fashion world. And now shows that are actually kind of good -- like 30 Rock.

    Jack Burditt, a writer for the show, tweeted a photo of Lochte hanging out with Tina Fey. It's the final season of 30 Rock, and I guess they're pulling out all the stops with celebrity guest appearances. Just didn't think Lochte had the acting chops for this kind of programming, but -- jeah for him!

    I told you. He's everywhere. And I for one can't wait to see how he does on 30 Rock and if he can pull off this cameo.
