Q: I loved the show "Chuck," which was written by Josh Schwartz, and I even like his other show, "Gossip Girl." I heard that "Gossip Girl" is ending, so does he have anything new coming up?
As a matter of fact he does, but it looks likely to lean more towards "Gossip Girl" than "Chuck."
Josh Schwartz will serve as executive producer of the new CW show "The Carrie Diaries," a prequel series to "Sex and the City," revolving around a 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw (who was played in the original series by Sarah Jessica Parker). The series is slated to premiere on Monday, Jan. 14.

Q: What is Sharon Osbourne's claim to fame, other than being married to Ozzy?
She has none. That's not to say that she rode to fame on the long, black-velvet coattails of her heavy-metal husband, though -- she rode there beside him.
