Heroes  fans now know what we Gilmore Girls  fans have known all along: Milo Ventimiglia is the bomb.

How great were the last five minutes of Monday's episode? Or for that matter, every minute of Monday's episode? So great I'm not sure how we'll all make it till the next new episode—Jan. freakin' 22—but dammit, we're gonna try. 

Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson have called it quits. According to Life & Style magazine, the couple, who began dating in 2004, are parting ways. 

This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to followers of this column (and also the eagle-eyed scribblings of former Party Girl Lara Morgenson), because we've noted that it's been quite some time since Adam and Rachel have gone out together in public. (Once upon a time, they were attached at the hip-hugger hip.)

Adrian Pasdar is one of the most shocking people I've ever met in Hollywood. He reads. He thinks. He uses multisyllabic words. He even—brace yourself—seems genuine. And, well, I don't know how much you know about this town, but these character traits are not all that common!

That's one of the reasons I had a ridiculously good time sitting down with Adrian, who plays Heroes' resident politician flyboy Nathan Petrelli for a one-on-one powwow about all things Heroic. The other reason being, of course, is that he is hot...on the trail of some fascinating scoop, like the story behind the Hero who "will be lost," why someone will be singing "We Are Family" and why he trusts the show's innermost secrets with a five-year-old.
