I received this incredibly sweet note from Jenna, along with an autographed copy of Jenna’s film, LolliLove (signed by Jenna and her co-star and husband, James Gunn), as a result of her MySpace swag giveaway.

As you can imagine, I am thrilled beyond THRILLED.

Thank you SO MUCH, Jenna! I am definitely going to frame your note and display it with giddy fangirl pride. :)

Kristin of E! Online caught up with the Office crew at the upfronts this week in NYC.

These are some choice videos, because they actually contain a bit of spoilerish information about Season 3!

Click the images to view the videos. (Unfortunately, these are not very Mac-friendly.)

You can also find Kristin’s report here.

‘Casino Night’ video clip at NBC.com

For those of you who aren’t able to replay THE SCENE over and over again, via Tivo, iTunes, or other more nefarious means, you can now watch it at NBC.com. (And it’s Mac-friendly, yay!)

And by, THE SCENE, I really mean the TWO scenes. You know the ones.

Watch them now. For the 78th time. ;)

STLToday.com interviews Phyllis Smith

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has an excellent profile on Phyllis Smith (“Phyllis”). An excerpt:

‘To look at Phyllis, an “Office” drone best-known for her deadpan double-takes, you might never suspect that Smith was a dancer with professional companies in St. Louis, a football Cardinals cheerleader, and a burlesque performer with Will B. Able and his Baggy Pants Revue at the Chase-Park Plaza in the 1970s.’

WOW. For the full story, click here. This article is no longer available.

Office Emmy buzz from ‘Ask Ausiello’

In TV Guide’s Ask Ausiello column today:

Question: Jim and Pam finally got together! Any scoop on The Office’s Season 3? — Daniella

Ausiello: No, but can we just pause for a second and talk about how heartbreakingly sweet their climactic kissing scene was? One of the best TV moments of the year. And “just once” may go down as the best TV line ever. And although I’m still not supposed to discuss our Dream Emmy Ballot before it gets unveiled next week, I’ll let you in on a little secret: Based on someone’s performance in the Office finale — his initials may be JK — we had to make a last-minute change to a certain supporting category (my apologies in advance to Doogie).

The Emmy nominations will be announced on July 6 at 5:30am. You bet I will slap myself awake to cheer on our show!

Office gossip

Kristin from E! Online searches for Season 3 scoop:

I had the pleasure of running into David Denman, who plays Roy, and he was much cooler than his TV counterpart. It happened to be the same week they were shooting the Office finale, and I said to him “Maybe Jim will give Roy a run for his money next season?” and he said … click here for more.

TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello reports on Monday’s NBC presentation of their fall lineup (the “upfronts”):

The casts of The Office and My Name is Earl appeared onstage and explained what it meant to them to be a part of NBC’s storied Thursday-night lineup. I don’t recall any of their specific lines, but trust me when I say their shtick was the highlight of the nearly-three hour presentation. On a lesser note, we caught a preview of the first Office webisode, slated to debut this summer exclusively on NBC.com, and … click here for more.

Thanks to OfficeTally reader Lal for the Kristin tidbit!
