No doubt a lot of water cooler talk today centered around the kiss Simon Cowell gave contestant LaKisha Jones following her performance of Bon Jovi's "This Aint a Love Song" last night. But here are some tidbits that happened behind the scenes that you may have missed. For instance, guess which former contestant Antonella Barba blew a kiss to while she was sitting in the audience?

The dish

What did you think of last week's kiss on "24"? For those of you who are only kind of keeping up this season, we're not talking about one between Jack and Audrey. We're talking about the one between Vice President Noah Daniels and his aide. Creepy?

On another note, the actor who plays Daniels, Powers Boothe, defends a lot of the decisions his character is making in the wake of the crises.

"You had a nuke go off in [California]," Boothe said, "and people are sitting around wringing their hands. He feels like he has to do something."

"Bones"' David Boreanaz is about to get some exposure in the hockey world. If you're watching the Stanley Cup playoffs, you'll soon hear a familiar voice on on the NHL's "Quest For the Cup" TV spots.

"24" co-executive producer Manny Coto recently had a chat with TVWeek.com about the show as it enters its final four episodes. Some twists and turns are in store. As fans learned on Monday, Chloe acted very, well, un-Chloe-like.

"Every year, Chloe's always the one who's secretly working with Jack; and Jack goes to her, and she's usually the one underneath her boss's gaze to help Jack achieve whatever he wanted to achieve," Mr. Coto said. "We're always trying to find something surprising that we haven't done before."

According to some reports, LaKisha Jones actually received fewer votes than Sanjaya and was supposed to go home.

"According to GirlsTalkinSmack, there is a "very reliable source" in the internet world who posts vote totals for American Idol and other shows, and he has proven himself to be right about 98% of the time. The week that Sanjaya was sent home, the source posted the vote totals he believes to be correct...and you're not going to believe the line-up."

In light of the tragedy at Virginia Tech, "Bones" pulled this week's episode and decided to show a rerun. The episode involved human remains found on a college campus. Sounds harmless enough, but because it takes place on a college campus, that seemed enough for executives drop the axe.

The "24" fans out there never cease to amaze. Always inventing new games and new ways of analyzing the show. As if the Jack Bauer drinking game wasn't enough, here's one we just uncovered -- the "'24' Character Countdown."

Here's the way it works: At the beginning of the season, each character on the show is assigned 100 points. Based on his or her merits and blunders, blogger Aaron gives or takes away points. An interesting analysis, indeed.

Did you watch the premiere of "Drive" on Sunday? What did you think? Positive reviews are coming in....

"The characters have so many angles and depth in this show. Just when you think you have them figured out, BAM! You can't believe what you're seeing.

Last season's "Idol" finalist Paris Bennett is lashing out against the show and is actually supporting VotefortheWorst.com.
