2. Ashley Tisdale Tells People About Her Nose Job

In order to maintain her large and loyal child fan base, Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical fame admitted that she had rhinoplasty last Friday. She states that her deviated septum hindered her breathing and that the surgery was necessary for her health. Sounds a bit familiar and convenient...Rachel Greene, anyone?

"Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing. The older I got, the worse it got. I went to get it checked out, and the doctor told me the septum was 80 percent deviated and that I had two small fractures on my nose."

"I didn't do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health. I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose," says Tisdale, who's openly discussing the procedure because "I want my fans to know the truth. I'm not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me."

What To Watch

By Nikki & Leela

1. Grey's Anatomy

Check out the promo here.

Part 2 of Crash Into Me premieres this Thursday at 9PM. Catch an encore of Part 1 on Tuesday night to recap the turbulent events at Seattle Grace. Seth Green guest stars as a man with an explosive artery who tries to win the affections of Lexie Grey, and we hope Shonda Rhimes makes him a recurring character. Lexi should definitely pursue his interests, seeing as though Ava is back in Alex's life. McDreamy might be falling for McNurse, provoking Meredith to whine yet again.

2. Dirty Sexy Money

This Wednesday at 10pm, Nick struggles with the unfathomable reality that Brian is his half-brother, while Brian continues his disdain for Nick and struggles with the loss of his son. Samaire Armstrong returns from rehab (eating disorder) as Juliet Darling, and will receive an unexpected guest from Seychelles. Karen and Simon continue their affair, and Jeremy continues lying to Sofia pretending to be a poor struggling nude ("naked", according to him) artist. We love this new ABC show for its unexpected turns and warped family dynamic.

3. The Hills

Tonight, 10pm EST
We can't seem to ignore this guilty pleasure about a group of girls who find completely fulfillment sipping on lattes and champagne at socialite hot spots in Hollywood. Are Spencer and Heidi going to call it quits after he walks out on her again in tonight's episode? Is Justin Bobby really gone? With She-Pratt wreck more havoc? Will we actually see a clip of Lauren doing work at Teen Vogue? Hopefully Whitney gets more screen time in tonight's episode.

Due to the Writer's Strike, the following shows end on these final notes:

1. The Office

Michael and Jan end on a rocky, mysterious note as he refused to malign Dunder Mifflin during the hearing. Kelly continues to practically harass Daryll at work, and Jim and Pam continue their relationship. Dwight and Angela are still broken up, but hopefully this will change once NBC films more episodes.

2. Brothers & Sisters

Tommy's affair with Lena is exposed as Rebecca, Justin, and Sarah discover his misdeed. The reality of Senator McAllister's military altruism comes to light as The Drudge Report contacts his camp to notify that it will expose it. Kitty and Robert get married, and she reveals to him that she blackmailed the man threatening to expose Robert. Danny Glover guest stars as a political advisor who tried his best to contain McAllister's secret. Despite the fact that Glover's character totally rubs us the wrong way, it seems as though Nora doesn't think so--chemistry was stirring between them. Holly Harper has an unexpected visitor that we have never seen before.

This Fall

From the most successful University in the country, producing some of the most influential entertainment makers of the century, comes the best entertainment show on college television - TAKE 5 comes back for its Second Season.
