Well, as James had predicted (and I had feared) without Tom Welling posing prettily on the red carpet, there was little to interest his fans on the nightly entertainment news; this was despite fairly in-depth coverage all-round about Cheaper By The Dozen 2's world premiere. I watched E! News Live, The Insider, and the aforementioned Entertainment Tonight. Access Hollywood doesn't air here until later tonight but I will catch that too, although there is probably little point ...

Despite Tom being so conspicuously absent, there were a few reasons to have tuned into those shows. There were no new clips from the film on any of them, but there was a cute segment on The Insider with the Desperate Housewives twins. They had made a "home video" of their day leading up to the premiere; however, I doubt their parents' handicam would have produced such a smoothly taped video ...

There were also some red carpet antics with Bonnie Hunt over on Entertainment Tonight. The always charming Bonnie joked with the reporter (I forget his name) while they sat on the sleigh she'd ridden on to the premiere. She alone was worth watching Entertainment Tonight for; which was good since the sound bite they showed of Steve Martin was extremely disappointing. Steve was on for all of about eight seconds while he recycled a completely lame joke he had also used on last night's The Tonight Show.

Maybe in the New Year there will be room in Tom's schedule for talk show appearances. After all he will likely be needed to push the show's upcoming 100th episode, which will air (not at all coincidentally) during the crucial February sweeps time frame. At least we can hope he'll make some appearances for that!

Should I hold my breath that maybe, just maybe, The WB will throw us poor Tom fans a bone? Mmm ... probably not. Especially since James was just telling me how much he appreciated my help. After all, I wouldn't want to expire on him!
