…The Chron.com’s move to WordPress and how it will affect you
Hi Tubular readers! This weekend, Tubular will be getting a whole new look as the Chron.com blogs move to a new blogging platform, WordPress. “Yeah, but what does it mean for me?” we can hear you asking. As Dwight Silverman explains on TechBlog:

- WHAT DO THEY THINK THIS IS? NEW YEAR’S EVE WITH ANDERSON COOPER AND KATHY GRIFFIN? Fortunately for Tubular, we didn’t have to get the royals’ permission to wake up at 3 a.m. tomorrow morning so as to resentfully type mean-spirited coverage of the coverage of the wedding.
- SPEAKING OF THE WEDDING, I SUSPECT NONE OF THESE CHARMING CHILDREN ARE ON THE GUEST LIST: It’s refreshing to see trash is universal. Also, when I saw “British Jersey Shore,” I was certain it was going to be this. (Careful, some strong language, delivered in adorable accents.)
- YOU GOT GHOST HUNTERS IN MY THE VAMPIRE DIARIES! You got The Vampire Diaries in my Ghost Hunters!
- SURPRISE!: Except, nope.

Michael Becker: FoxHalfway done.
We’re down to six, and what’s their reward? The Carole King songbook. Not exactly current. And Babyface. (See previous comment.) But I’m curious to see how tonight’s duets develop.

- SHOCKING NEWS: That broke like at least a year ago. A year? It’s been at least a year.
- EVERYONE HAS A THEORY AS TO WHY THE WOMEN ARE BEING VOTED OFF OF AMERICAN IDOL FASTER THAN THE MEN: But this is a pretty good one.
- I’M SURE NBC’S FEELINGS WILL NEVER RECOVER, PAUL REISER.
- THE WINCHESTERS WILL BE BACK, SUPERNATURAL FANS! AS WELL AS THE SALVATORE BOYS, CHUCK BASS AND MS. J! Not so fast, Nikita … Your spot will probably go to One Tree Hill, which no one can kill at this point.
- HE WHO HASN’T THROWN THEIR COUSIN THROUGH A WINDOW OVER A FANTASY SHOW CAST THE FIRST STONE. Or family member, as the case may be.
- THERE ARE ONLY THREE TYLER PERRY SERIES? I could have sworn TBS was 23 straight hours of Tyler Perry shows, and Conan.
- YOU BETCHA! Here is a picture of Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin, if you are interested in that sort of thing.

Discovering The Voice, part 1
Lewis Jacobs/NBCWho needs that other singing show?
I’ll be honest. I wasn’t completely excited about The Voice. It initially seemed overly complicated and overstuffed with celebrities. (Do we really need Adam Levine there?) Plus, once the “blind aud…

Ninety minutes! Lady Gaga! Kurt’s return! I should be excited, right? Not an epic episode, just sort of … meh.
Let’s talk about what I liked first. SANTANA. My goodness, Santana. It’s as if all the writers sat around a room…
