• Fringe: Fox confirms that there will be third season of Fringe! New episodes of the sci-fi mindblower created by J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman return on April 1.

• Brothers & Sisters: Meanwhile, reports that ABC has officially renewed Brothers & Sisters for season five remain unconfirmed. It certainly seems logical and likely, but no official promises from the Alphabet yet.

• The Office: Pam and Jim's baby on The Office is apparently named after Jenna Fischer's real-life newborn niece. Total. Cuteness.

Who needs American Idol when this week's batch of eliminees comes handy with a second—and equally awesome—skill set? As they told reporters Friday afternoon, singing is their passion, but with all of doors apparently opened by making it to the top 20, the future remains a mystery.

Well, sort of. Booted songstress Haeley Vaughn had lots to say about her currently non-existent future with the Disney Channel, but after all of the love she gave it during her chat with the press, we bet it's not too far off.

"I'm a really big fan of Disney and Disney Channel so that's something I hope comes up," Hayely gushed almost immediately. And she's not the only one. Any guesses as to which ousted performer is already planning their own fashion line?!

Good news, America. Our awesome Thursday-night comedy block on NBC is safe for another season! NBC just announced that it's giving out early pickups to Community, The Office and 30 Rock.

But what do the stars say about this big news? Here's what our faves had to say about their continued employment, along with the must-see completely and totally awesome video of the Community cast getting the pickup news:

Believe it or not, Trauma is back! NBC's paramedics drama has been through a few TV traumas of its own, including near cancellation and a looong winter hiatus, but with a little triage and tender loving care, the series returns Monday with 10 all-new episodes.

We just caught up with creator Dario Scardapane for an exclusive chat to find out how the near-death experience and drastic budget cuts actually resulted in a more creatively sharp and successful series; why the show went back—way back, like to the 1970s—to get in touch with its roots; and what's in store for Rabbit, Nancy and the rest of the gang in the weeks to come. Here's what we learned:

Is it September yet?

With six months standing between now and the season five premiere of Dexter, I tried to pry some serious scoop out of Michael C. Hall, Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter and the rest of the gang—begging didn't work and neither did bribing! And while they were tight-lipped, I did manage to learn a thing or two about what's to come while moderating the show panel at Paley Fest Thursday night.

We also learned how Michael's health is now, and watched him and his real-life wife, Jennifer, answer a question about their marriage for the first time...

Spoiler Alert! If you still haven't seen the Dexter season four finale, please look no further. All of what you'll see after the jump will definitely ruin it for you.

Here are the highlights you Dexter fans need to know:

Confucius says: "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

In tonight's episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, tears were shed and glory achieved for one united tribe, while the other tribe's dissension resulted in defeat and betrayal.

Tonight's surprising backstabber says: "Tomorrow we make our apologies, tonight we make our move."

So which tribe delivered a Tribal Council smackdown? And how do the Castaways really get to Tribal Council anyway? Let's break down the breakdowns...

The competition to be TV's top romance is getting tighter every day! The retro couples are holding their own (everybody still loves Mulder and Scully from The X-Files, for example), but contemporary faves like House and Cuddy, Chuck and Sarah and Jack and Kate are still going strong!

Congrats to Glee, which is the only show with more than one couple still in contention, and to Callie and Arizona from Grey's Anatomy, the only same-sex couple left.

Is your pair going to make it to the end? Only you and your fellow fans can decide. Ready, set, go!

They don't call him Superman for nothing.

The CW has renewed long-running cult-hit Smallville for a remarkable 10th season. The program, which premiered in 2001, moved to Friday nights this season, where it has significantly improved time-slot ratings against last year.

Insiders confirm that the 10th season will be a full 22-episode order; no word yet on if next year will be designed as a "wrap-up season" or if the powers that be are planning to wait and see about the ratings before making any story decisions.

So what do insiders have to say about this news? Here's what we're hearing:
