Dying to know which contestants America sent packing tonight, but not enough to actually sit through the commercial-filled, over-produced, hour-long borefest that was tonight’s AMERICAN IDOL results show? No problem, that’s what theTVaddict.com is here for!

AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL (8PM CW, “A” in Canada)
Tonight will have the models competing for the title of America’s Next Top Vampire. Sorry Twihards, Edward Cullen need not apply.
Note To Fox: More GLEE, Less Filler
While we’re sure a whole lot of fresh-faced, talented young folks out there were thrilled by yesterday’s announcement that FOX is conducting a nationwide search for performers to be featured during GLEE’s second season, we couldn’t help eyeing the PR stunt skeptically.
And no, not just because we’re slightly past the 16-26 year-old age range eligible to audition. (And yes, we said slightly. Age is just a number, people!) Although it’s only fair to point out that by those standards, the show’s star — Cory Monteith — wouldn’t be eligible. Heck, putting real 16-year-olds next to some of the folks passing for high schoolers on currently-airing shows might just send half the cast of 90210 running to their plastic surgeons for a touch up!
Next Week on LOST….
In response to the Damon Lindelof, the fans, and multiple members of the media who were infuriated — and rightfully so — by last night’s unexpected invasion of the V marketing department during virtually the entirety of last night’s LOST, we thought you’d appreciate our not-at-all-fabricated sneak peek of next week’s Alphabet mea culpa.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Ways In Which Last Night’s V Was Better Than The Entire First Half Of The Season!
The Pacing
Let’s face it, the first group of episodes weren’t exactly barn-burners. But last night, we got new characters, chills and…
The Sex
Morena Baccarin’s Anna might well be the hottest character currently flashing — last night, literally — across our screens. Never has impassionate coupling been so intense. And talk about a lesson in the consequences of mating before marriage!
The Craving
Fans of the original series will never forget the moment Jane Badler’s Diana unhinged her jaw to swallow a mouse. So when Valerie eyed the dead rodent with a look that said, “You know, I could go for a little nosh,” we couldn’t look away… no matter how badly we wanted to!
Say HELL-O to your first look at GLEE’s Spring Premiere
With the April 13 return of GLEE just around the corner, we at theTVaddict.com are thrilled to be able to share with you these hot-off-the-digital-press first look photos from the spring premiere. Fresh off of their monumental win at Sections, New Directions will have their hands full with new numbers (including The Beatles’ “Hello, Goodbye”), new relationships (Rachel and Finn’s budding romance will hit a bump in the road after she becomes involved with a competitor played by Jonathan Groff), new guest stars (Idina Menzel!) and perhaps best of all, a reNEWed focus by Sue to destroy Will and disband the Glee Club! See for yourself, after the jump.

TRUE BLOOD: VILF Teaser Poster
If a record number of eyeballs don’t get sucked into the third season of TRUE BLOOD, it certainly won’t be due to a lack of effort on behalf of HBO’s marketing department’s. As evidence by the second in a series of posters teasing the third season of TRUE BLOOD kicking off on Sunday June 13.

Good News, Bad News: GLEE, LIFE UNEXPECTED & CHUCK
Good News: GLEE has officially begun a nationwide casting call today for performers between the ages of 16 and 25 to be featured in season two of the hit Fox series. Bad News: You mean aside from the fact that we’re just slightly over the age limit… Fox is still trying to make MySpace happen, forcing wannabes Gleeks to upload their audition videos through April 26 on this MySpace page.

Good News: LIFE UNEXPECTED continues to outperform their far flashier network counterpart GOSSIP GIRL, remaining steady in the 18-34 demo and actually climbing in overall viewers week-to-week. Bad News: The CW remains suspiciously silent when it comes to the prospect of an early second season renewal. Hello! Paging vote of confidence, line one.
Good News: CHUCK fans are officially over the moon thanks to last night’s boffo ratings bounce back. Bad News: The unenviable task of raining on everybody’s parade falls to us as we remind fans that CHUCK’s uptick in eyeballs probably had a little something to do with HOUSE and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER airing repeats. Don’t shoot the messenger. [Source]
