It Happened This Week-ish: Lost Housewives, Tina Fey's virginity, Taylor Lautner is still underage, John & Jen are back on

Yep, Tina and I have one more thing in common: We did NOT peak in high school.


*America joined together this week to watch the sky and listen intently to newscasters and balloon experts (yep, they exist) as some kid in Colorado floated around the state in what appeared to be a large homemade mylar balloon. The next day, Falcon vomited on nation television, twice. But for real, he was probably just sick from all that flying... Wait, he wasn't in the balloon? Oh. And his parents were on Wifeswap? Oy. Hold on, he called it a show?! Alright, this is crap, I want my Thursday afternoon back from CNN.com, what a waste.


*John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston are said to be back on after a meet-up in NYC recently. This is just further proof that men with guitars are basically irresistible and also, US Weekly may be getting paid to promote Mayer's new album, Battle Studies, out November 17th (John, just send me the check, you know where I live, wink wink).

*I loved the ABC crossover promos as much as everyone else, but the Lost plane crashing onto Desperate Housewives?! Sorry ABC, that is not going to make me watch Terri Hatcher's skeletal frame neurotically wash dishes while some other woman my mom's age bangs Hurley so that she officially can consider herself a cougar. Crossover FAIL.

*Twilight's Taylor Lautner is having a hard time keeping his shirt on for photoshoots these days and women everywhere can be heard murmuring to themselves while flipping through the new issue of GQ: "He's only 17. He's only 17. He's only 17..."

*Breaking News: John Stamos Admits Being Drunk on TV... in 2007. I am reeeeeeally glad that he finally cleared that up because the last two years have been torture for me, wondering whether or not Uncle Jesse had a few cocktails before he appeared on that Australian morning show. Finally, we can all rest easy knowing the truth. So yeah, you're welcome.

*My hero, the hilarious Tina Fey, was on Letterman this week where she talked about losing her virginity at 24 due to her "homeliness" when she was younger and this got me thinking... What did Tina Fey look like in high school? Was her senior picture as bad as mine? Worse? Is there hope for nerdy girls everywhere? Thanks to the power of Google image search and the hard work of the investigative internet journalists who came before me, I have your answer after the jump...
