TV DIVAGAL'S DAILY FIVE: Fox @ TCA

glee41310carin-baerfoxGlee is going to have a few changes this upcoming season. “We going to be scaling back a little bit on the musical numbers to concentrate on the stories,” creator Ryan Murphy announced at the Glee executive TCA panel yesterday. Which means more time for Coach Sylvester to come up with brilliant ways to insult Will Shuester’s hair.

• Speaking of Glee… Expect to see “two or three” musical tribute episodes a year. Next up, something definitely from the reportoire of the Beatles’ Paul McCarthy, who’s a big fan of the series.

Just In Case You Missed It: Fox has yet to announce any new judges on American Idol, though Fox executives promise to have them in place by mid-September. So just who is judging Idol hopefuls now in the first round of open auditions?

Raising Hope star Lucas Neff doesn’t mind working with babies, though he does admit that they tend to “stick their fingers in my eyes and mouth and up my nose.” Better them than co-star Cloris Leachman. Then you’d really have a problem,

• If you’re loving The Good Guys this summer, you’ll be happy to know they are totally coming back in the fall. “We’ve been in production since January,” a slightly sick Colin Hanks told TV DivaGal at the series breakfast event yesterday morning. Hope you got a shot of wheatgrass and some sleep, Colin.

TV DIVAGAL @ THE TONYS: Paula Abdul Says Bret Michaels Would Be Great For Idol!

american-idol-paula-abdulTV DivaGal was backstage in the 64th Annual Tony Awards Official Talent Gift Lounge at Radio City Music Hall last night, where Paula Abdul revealed that she thinks Bret Michaels would be great for Simon Cowell‘s vacated judge’s seat on American Idol. We couldn’t agree more!

Why would the man who’s cheated death not once or twice, but three times in the last three months and holds the current Celebrity Apprentice crown rock the job? Because he’d be totally awesome at it!

“You have to have a great vocabulary of music and be able to understand the greats that inspired you along the way in your career,” Paula says. “I think that it takes someone who really understands what its like for the young people to try to make magic happen in a minute and 30 seconds. So if he were to take that position, I think he would fit the mold perfectly.”

But don’t get it twisted. No one will ever really take over Simon’s role.

“Honestly, the word replacement to me does not apply, because as we all know they broke the mold after Simon,” Paula declares. “I think that we should use another word.”

Oh, we’re sure we can all think of a few, Paula!

TV DIVAGAL'S DAILY FIVE: Soapnet No More!

beingericasoapnet1• Soapnet is no more! Its parent company, Disney, will launch Disney Jr., a network focusing on children’s programming, in 2012. Now that’s a true daytime shocker!

• Why can’t we all have a boss like this? TBS is planning a special for Conan O’Brien‘s writers and sidekick Andy Richter, called Team Coco Presents Conan’s Writers Live. Nice. (THR)

• Just In Case You Hadn’t Heard: America voted, and the new American Idol winner is… Lee Dewyze. TV DivaGal can pretty much assure you no one saw that coming. Really.

• Speaking of Idol… for the upcoming tenth season of contestants, the show has added an online audition process at MySpace for singers to submit video auditions. Now you can be rejected in the comfort of your own home!

Show You Gotta Watch Tonight: FlashForward at 8 p.m. on ABC. Let’s hope someone saw the show’s one-season demise during the blackout and planned for some closure in tonight’s finale!

TV DIVAGAL'S DAILY FIVE: Rita Back on Dexter!

julie-benz• She may have a new show on ABC, but it looks like Julie Benz will have to do double duty this summer. EW‘s Michael Ausiello is reporting (and TVGuide.com confirmed) she’ll resurrect her role as Dexter‘s newly deceased wife in upcoming season five.(EW)

Show You Gotta Watch Tonight: American Idol season finale at 9 p.m. on Fox. Someone’s being crowned the new Idol whether you tune in or not, so you might as well be in the know.

• And The Biggest Winner is: Michael, who lost 262 lbs, more that half of his 526 lbs starting weight, to take the top title on The Biggest Loser: Couples last night. But the real shoutout goes to all the moms who looked fierce as well: go Sherry, Cherita, Patti, Miggy, Maria and Cheryl!

Just In Case You Hadn’t Heard: Nicole Scherzinger, who showed promise from her first night on the dance floor, and partner Derek Hough were crowned the champions of Dancing with the Stars last night. TV DivaGal has actually danced with Derek and I can assure you, he’s a great teacher!

Big Brother is back on CBS beginning July 8. It will air Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. That’s a lot of time for you to be holed up in your house watching (and you don’t win the grand prize if you make it to the end!).
