You certainly don't want to know how it's made, but the idea of combining chicken and beef into one delicious meat patty is the perfect fast food concept. If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is – the secret is that the food contains no actual meat, making it the perfect choice for closet vegetarians.

You wouldn't expect someone as polite and chipper as Mayor Richard Wilkins to be secretly evil, attempting to turn himself into a giant demonic snake to rule the world. Lucky for the town of Sunnydale, Buffy and her gang caught on and blew him up in the high school library. The Mayor's final words before being blown to pieces were "Well, gosh." Good to know that an evil demon can remember his manners in his final moments of existence.

It looks like we'll be adding one more actress to the recent baby bump brigade. Following the rampant rumors of Jennifer Aniston and Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancies, People.com reported this morning that Alyson Hannigan is pregnant. Alyson, 34, and husband Alexis Denisof, 42, announced that they are expecting their first child this spring.
Currently, Alyson Hannigan stars as Lily Aldrin on the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Jason Segel plays her TV husband, Marshall Erikson. I consider Lily and Marshall television's best couple and Hannigan's pregnancy might mean a pregnancy for Lily. In general, I'm not a fan of babies on TV, but Lily and Marshall have always wanted to start a family. I'm really not sure how I feel about it. I'm like Natalie Imbrulia: Torn. There's no news yet on how Hannigan's pregnancy might affect the fourth season.

I love the CW for bringing me Gossip Girl and for having the guts to resurrect 90210, but there's no denying that the network pales in comparison to the glory days of the WB. For those of us who were teenagers in the '90s the WB was a truly special network. They brought us such classic shows as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dawson's Creek, Gilmore Girls and Felicity, and such charmingly forgettable fare as Blue Collar TV, The Mountain, Tarzan and Black Sash. It's hard not to feel affection for that bygone era, even if it did produce atrocities like 7th Heaven.
The WB may no longer exist on television, but it's currently enjoying a resurrection on the Internet. TheWB.com launched yesterday and features full episodes of many of the shows mentioned above, as well as games, a blog, desktop wallpapers and some original web series.

I sat through over a dozen panels during my time at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, and though they were all a lot of fun, certain moments will stick in my mind forever. Attending the convention is like getting a chance to sit in a room and chat with all of your favorite celebrities. On one level you can't believe you're so close to people you've only seen on screen, and on another level it all seems perfectly natural. No matter how much you worship a particular actor or creator, Comic-Con helps to remind you that they're all just regular people. It's oddly comforting, and it makes even the biggest of stars seem more relatable.
After thinking back over the many panels I attended, I chose five of my favorite moments from the convention. It wasn't easy to narrow down, but these are the things that I'll definitely never forget.

You just can't keep a good super-villain down. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, the Internet musical from Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind Joss Whedon, was yanked from DrHorrible.com less than a week after it became available. The goal was to allow hardcore fans a chance to see it for free, then hope they'd either buy it on iTunes or wait for the eventual DVD. Shelling out cash to see Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Nathan Fillion (Firefly) sing catchy ditties won't be necessary just yet, as Dr. Horrible has now reappeared on Hulu and MySpace, with plans to bring it to Yahoo!, AOL and other websites. If you missed it the first time, now is your chance to witness the online sensation free of charge.

Check out the rest of our coverage from San Diego Comic-Con.
There are some writers in the entertainment industry who aren't particularly entertaining when forced to speak, but Joss Whedon is not one of them. The man is just as witty and hilarious as the characters he brought to life on shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly. Whedon appeared at the San Diego Comic-Con today along with the cast of his latest project, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, Felicia Day and Simon Helberg. When the hilarious gang wasn't making penis jokes or dropping F-bombs, they managed to reveal some big plans for the future of the Internet musical. Could a sequel be in the works?

When I fall in love with a new project from one of my favorite writers I usually have plenty of time to spend with it before it comes to an end. That's not the case with Joss Whedon's Internet musical extravaganza, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. The three-act series about a lovelorn supervillain just started last Tuesday, and today the final installment was released on iTunes and at DrHorrible.com. It'll be available for free on the website until Sunday, then will disappear until a DVD packed with special features is released sometime in the future. Though it's sad to see such a wonderful, unique project come to an end, at least Dr. Horrible goes out on top.
