Head for the Hills: What if The Sundance Channel's new Capitol Hill interns reality series, "The Hill," starred the "tanned, blond and beautiful folks" from MTV's "The Hills"? "Just witness the excitement as these whippersnappers schedule the congressman's TV appearances! Issue press statements! Draft legislation! Would it make for good TV?" (WP)
Splendor on the Grass:Roger Federer's fourth straight title at the Gerry Weber Open proved to be the toughest and the most historic. The world No. 1, Federer overcame his fourth straight three-set match on Sunday to win his fifth title of the year and tie Bjorn Borg's record for most consecutive victories on grass. Meanwhile at Queen's Club, Rafael Nadal (got injured and) proved once again that he really is just a clay court wonder, despite the media's attempts to make his rivalry with Federer into something more than it is. (Was it really a true rivalry when Chris Evert was barely beatingMartina Navratilovaon clay?)

Oops, She Did It Again: On Tuesday, Anderson Cooper has an exclusive interview with new-mom Angelina Jolie. CNN says the repeat-homewrecker will "tell the world about baby Shiloh, Brad and her passionate fight for refugee relief." I hope she figures out how to explain how she "wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife in the first place" yet still managed to conceive Brad Pitt's child. (Set your DVR, Laura Dern!) (360)
I love that Christine Taylor looks more like Marcia Brady in my mind than Maureen McCormick ever did -- kind of like when Cher guest-starred...
