James Spader News

Porgy and Bess is a hit! Not only has the revival consistently posted high weekly grosses, but it's also a celebrity hot spot with the likes of Rosie O'Donnell, Joan Rivers and Chelsea Clinton all recently making their way to the show and backstage to congratulate its stars.

Last week's episode of "The Office" showed Jim returning from a week of jury duty, provoking intrigue in the group and suspicion in Dwight.

A smattering of laughs and a Dwight-Angela plot twist highlight a rather uneven episode of " The Office ". Not even the brief return of cute and loveable Pam could jazz things up Thursday night.

REMEMBER THE MYSTERY in last season's cliffhanger of "The Office" the one where a successor had to be chosen to succeed lead bumbler Michael Scott, the socially awkward boss who couldn't solve a problem if his life depended on it? The successor - with indie-cred to spare - was James Spader.

" The Office " was going to put together a solid episode this season sooner or later, and "Pool Party" was definitely it.

As of late The Office has been taking it's fair share of critical lashings, both here and elsewhere, and deservedly so.
