What's Up in Pop Culture Land

I’m looking forward to the advent of the summer TV season. Not, as I’m sure you have surmised, for the glut of crappy reality shows on the big networks. What I want to see if the awesome stuff that comes on the cable nets, True Blood (HBO, premiere 6/14) topping my list of gorgeousness, followed closely by Leverage (TNT, premiere 7/17).

But, the goodness isn’t here yet, and I am pressured by deadlines and the need to work on paying projects. To that end, I am sending you off into the land of pop culture to find out what I’m reading when I’m not here.

I’m looking forward to this year’s Amy Awards, where TV Gal and her readers vote on the best and the worst of the previous TV season. Category nominations are due no later than 5pm, Sunday, May 31.

Like the folks at the New York Daily News, I’m wondering why the eff everyone cares so much about Jon and Kate Gosselin. I’ve never made it past the credits, with its shot of Kate’s very-pregnant belly covered in plastic wrap.

I’m following the Save Reaper campaign heavily, both at ReaperDMV and at Nick C’s blog. I’ve sent my emails to Tribune, my local CW affiliate, and ABC.

And that’s pretty much it. What pop culture stories are you following?
