Watch This Now readers! All 18 of you! Check out this clip and vote for Franchesca so she can win a trip to Hollywood and mingle with famous people.

About a month ago I posted an item about this YouTube contest where you could send in a video and win a shot at being a red carpet reporter at an unspecified major awards event next month (I would still guess it's the Emmys, though maybe it's some MTV thing? I'm not sure.).

Turns out we have a local finalist here, Franchesca, who alerted me to her big news by commenting on the old entry from last month. Which shows some initiative on her part, because sometimes I don't even think we can find or remember what we posted last week, let alone last month.

Just for taking the time to search our blog, I will give her a plug and hopes that she'll return the favor with a WTN plug from the red carpet. Don't forget us when you make it big, OK?

It's becoming clear that people are actually reading this blog.

Watch This Now got a call this afternoon from a spokeswoman for "The Morning Show with Mike and Juilet"--a chatfest broadcast across the country. She wanted to explain the mystery of spaghetti cat.

First, here's the clip:

She wanted to clarify that the show intentionally put up the photo of the pasta-eating feline. Apparently it is known in the biz as a "bleep photo." When someone says a dirty word on the show, we can now expect to be treated to the cat's photo.

The photo apparently came from a pet segment the show is putting together.

Remember, knowing is half the battle.

I guess coffee stands with female employees in bikinis are popular in Washington state.

A few questions:

1) Why do the baristas keep going to the window when they see the car?
2) Why didn't anyone on the road notice this guy's license plate was covered up with women's underwear?
3) Did he secretly want boiling water poured on him?

Are you watching this? You should.

Here's the first episode of Gemini Division, a new NBC show shot entirely for the Internet. Its format seems like one of those personal video testimonials, except with some special effects and drama and intrigue thrown in. They last about 5 minutes each, with Rosario Dawson moving the plot along and dropping clues.

Could people get used to this form of serial entertainment? 50 episodes are expected to be released. Lets hope they keep the drama up.

Watch the second episode at NBC.com.

Sure, you may think you accompished a lot last week, but you didn't win eight gold medals.

And I bet your week wasn't compressed into a 60-second segment on YouTube:

Megan didn't even have to try that hard. She really should give Kevin some money.

But really, Kevin, elevator train platform?
