In recent weeks, as many fans have noticed, WWE has been airing backstage segments with Ted DiBiase Jr. criticizing Randy Orton behind his back, as Cody Rhodes appears to side with Orton.

The reason behind this, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter?

Eventually, WWE officials wanna turn DiBiase, making him a big-time babyface. Reportedly, the company wants the third-generation wrestler to be make a major mark as a good guy in time for the DVD release of The Marine 2, a movie in which he stars.

Welcome to the latest edition of the 90210 Round Table!

After each episode of this show, our staff sifts through a series of questions and has fun debating various developments from the most recent hour. What are we focusing on for "The Dionysian Debacle?"

Topics for this edition include Silver's new school, Naomi's sister, Liam and more...

How long will Silver last at Catholic school?
BrendaLova: Hopefully forever. I haven't stopped fantasizing about her in that outfit. (Sorry, TMI?)

The Real McKay: For the rest of the season, at least. She has to get revenge on that Angela girl somehow.

Wild4Wilds: I think she may be back at West Beverly next week. What's the point now? Everyone at both schools is aware of the sex tape.

Are you glad to see Naomi's sister?
The Real McKay: Yes! Wasn't Naomi supposed to be the show's mega bitch? Complaining about salmon doesn't exactly qualify as that. We need a new character to really shake things up

Wild4Wilds: Yes. i'm glad to see actress Sara Foster any time, any place.

BrendaLova: Can I get back to you on this? I just don't wanna see the show get too far away from its core characters.

Look for Blair Cramer McBain to get heavily involved in the KAD serial killer storyline during the month of May.

Sorry, Kitty and Robert fans.

But the marriage between these two character's isn't looking like it will go the distance.

As if the title of Sunday's all-new Brothers & Sisters episode, "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," isn't enough of an indication, watch the following clip from it, as Kitty opens up to Kevin:

It's official. Barack Obama is more popular than American Idol.

But not by much.

The President's press conference averaged a combined 22 million viewers on ABC, CBS, NBC and Univision last night; it barely defeated Matt Giardu's last appearance on Idol (21.8 million) as the top-rated hour of the evening.

Among other primetime pickings:

• Lie to Me, which aired opposite President Obama, was down a bit in total viewers from a week earlier (7.9 million versus 8 million).

• The 100th episode of Lost (8.8 million) was the night's top non-Idol series in the 18-49 year-old demographic.

This week's Friday Night Smackdown taping emanated from Madison Square Garden for the first time in four years.

As if that's not exciting enough, four top superstars battled in the main event to see who would take on Edge at Judgment Day in a few weeks.

Who came out on top? Read our Smackdown report to find out!

Buzz for the fourth season of Heroes has already started, mere days after the show's mediocre third season finale.

For example, Michael Ausiello has released a trio of interesting nuggets regarding the series' fifth volume, titled "Redemption." Enjoy:

• Zachary Quinto will return next season.
• The show will introduce a mysterious new villain.
• Tracy, and her revenge arc, will be a major focus.

So... a new, scary face and more of an old, beautiful one? Sounds like the show is on the right track to us.

It's been over a month since The Secret Life of the American Teenager season finale - and we're dying for any sort of scoop on season two.

We had previously reported that there's going to be a death in season two of the show.  Now, we have a little update for you on who kicks the proverbial bucket.

According to Michael Ausiello, the character will be a significant male character. Moreover, "something happens as a result of it that will probably piss off the [insert name of conservative TV watchdog group]."

Consider us quite intrigued!
