Alison Irwin earned a reputation as a backstabbing flirt during her stint on CBS' Big Brother 4, so it isn't all that surprising that her attempts at scheming with Danielle in a failed plan to oust Janelle caused her to be the first booted out the front door of Big Brother 7: All-Stars (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 8 pm/ET). TVGuide.com caught up with Alison — who also had a hated turn on The Amazing Race 5 — the day after her eviction, to find out how she feels about her bad-girl rep.

Battlestar Galactica One thing I've learned doing this job is that I develop biases to the point of blindness. Take this show. After one subpar episode, a return to form and then another so-so installment (the hostage crisis), I was beginning to worry. Still, I didn't give the Galactica folks too hard a time when I would've blasted lesser shows for committing the same sins, because I wanted to believe it was just a couple of hiccups. And right I was.

Tuesday brought news of not one, not two, but a holy trinity of shelved series. Despite a riveting cameo by TV Guide's own former Party Boy, Daniel R.

Lastly, NBC has slammed shut The Book of Daniel, "due to many reasons," series creator Jack Kenny reports in a message to fans at NBC.com. Now, before the American Family Association gets all full of itself, their efforts had little to do with Daniel's demise, a reliable source tells us; rather, the ratings were just sinfully bad.

Did you happen to catch my crackhead cameo Monday night on TNT's Wanted? Some of my adoring fans (OK, my mom) were confused due to a very last-minute TNT scheduling switcheroo. My episode, "Lips are Lips," actually aired at 12 am/ET rather than at 10 pm/ET, as the cabler originally announced. But I'm not bitter.
Never fear, I'll give you a heads up when the episode reruns. Meanwhile, peek into my
Wanted Set Diary to see exclusive photos and learn all about my smokin'-hot acting debut. And remember, kids: Just say no!
