A look at some of this week's noteworthy television:

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association voting pool for the Golden Globes only consists of 83 members, but every year their mainstream tastes become one of the potential early prognosticators for the Emmys and the Oscars. Over in Beverly Hills today, the stylists are putting the finishing touches on the stars' couture, that long red carpet is being laid and some assistant is double checking the seals on the envelopes. Here in New York of course, we get to play the more enviable armchair critic job hashing out who might be taking home this year's statues after tonight's telecast [8 - 11 pm on NBC].

Earlier this week, we reported on the 92nd Street Y event where New York magazine co-founder Milton Glaser attributed the low number of high-profile female designers to the fact that women who have children and stay at home with them are less visible professionally.

1. WNBC has the only known video of September 11 terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui; it's taken as he is being transferred to to his maximum security prison in Colorado
2. A man was killed under an E train around 34th Street
3. The City still won't look for World Trade Center remains in the debris that was sent to Fresh Kills
4. A mistrial was ordered in a Colombo mob trial -- the jurors were deadlocked and three of the jurors cried!
5. Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn tackles Park Slope affairs; the Slope is moments from being the next setting of a Desperate Housewives-esque show
6. A NY1/Newsday poll shows, if they were to run, that Hillary Clinton leads over Barack Obama and Rudy Giuliani leads over John McCain

Do you want your dog to be the envy of all the other dogs in the dog park? Well then, you might want to consider taking the next few days to groom that pup of yours, because this Thursday there's a canine casting call. Magic, the Old Navy mascot, has retired...and his replacement is needed.

Gothamist cannot shy away from admitting we're fans of General Hospital. We just can't. It's a great, rerun-free, low-rent amalgam of ER, the Sopranos and Desperate Housewives (though much older than any of those shows). However, it seems we're sitting down an hour too late. Anyone who's anyone is getting on board with ABC's earlier soap, One Life to Live. A daytime staple since 1968, OLTL is filmed right here in NYC and has launched the careers of many actors, including the questionably talented Yasmin Bleeth and the actually talented Ryan Phillippe.

JC: ALL RIGHT! I just took extra Vitamin C - I'm waiting for some food delivery.

- Nicolette Sheridan does not look over-Botoxed with fish lips!

We have a confession to make. We really, really love trash TV. We're not talking run-of-the-mill trash like Desperate Housewives (watched the first season, stopped caring) or syndicated trash like the Tyra Banks Show (uhm... won't turn it off if it comes on). No, we're talking about the kind of trash that you have to work to find and watch. We're the kind of people who have gone out of our way to watch every made-for-TV movie Tori Spelling has ever been in (Have you seen Co-ed Call Girl? Yeah, we have). Which brings us to the wonderful gift that SoapNet has given us for the past three months: Pasadena.

There's only one major wide release this weekend, and although it stars an Oscar winner, we can pretty much guarantee Paramount isn't expecting any year-end kudos for . In fact, it looks like the studio is hoping to slyly score a big opening weekend on the draws of Charlize Theron in skintight rubber and fans of the old MTV animated series because they aren't letting critics anywhere near it -- apparently no press screenings have been or will be held.

Good lord. It's not even five minutes into the Emmys and Gothamist (and friends Aaron Dobbs of out of focus and a Gothamist contributor, and Margaret Lyons, formerly of Chicagoist) is very very frightened. There is no reason why Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas should force Doris Roberts to dance with them. Doris needs to get the AARP to fight the fight with her. Welcome to Gothamist's attempt to liveblog the Emmys, until the show drains every single molecule of life from us, which we believe will happen in the 10PM hour.

Desperate Housewives and Will & Grace both received 15 Emmy nominations today, proving that like every other awards organization, Gothamist just doesn't jibe with the voters. Sure, we're happy that Arrested Development, Scrubs, and Lost got some recognition. But there is no love for programs we'll actually stay at home to watch: Veronica Mars, Nip/Tuck, Gilmore Girls. Even The O.C., which faltered last season - you have to give Peter Gallagher some credit. And why won't the Academy acknowledge the brilliance of America's Next Top Model? But of course we'll watch because Gothamist we can't wait to see the expressions of the Desperate Housewives that don't win.

Also, from the producer of Caroline in the City, a TV pilot about infertility. Gothamist couldn't make it up if we tried.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association awards their 62nd annual Golden Globes this Sunday, a sure sign that the season of gowns, the buzz and the surprise upset is upon us. Unlike the Oscars though, the Golden Globes covers television and film, so we get to see the disjointed mingling of the stars on the red carpet from both genres.

The Post reports Ed Koch as calling Kerik a "disgrace": He had two mistresses both at the same time — that takes a lot of strength — and a wife, and that's his own business, but when he uses an apartment given to the Police Department for cops to rest after 9/11 duty, then it becomes a public matter." He also called Rudy Giuliani's decision to appoint Kerik the police commissioner without a background investigation "not only sloppy but crazy." God, Ed, we kinda miss you. Mayor Bloomberg, on the other hand, says that though Kerik made mistakes with his personal life, there are no plans to remove Kerik's name from a correctional facility named in his honor.

In the TV categories, Desperate Houswives cleaned up with five nominations (all the MILFs are nominated, except for the MILFiest one, Eva Longoria!). Desperate Housewives is fun and everything, and God knows that Marcis Cross must have a TV show, but Gothamist knows why the Hollywood Foreign Press Association betstowed so much love on them: They want hot ladies in hotter dresses at the ceremony. That's why Debra Messing keeps getting nominated. Then it's a lot of the usual "HBO gets lots of nominations stuff." Meh. And with three nominations (one for best actor for Ray, one for best supporting actor in Collateral, and one for a TV role), the HFPA really wants Jamie Foxx to win SOMETHING.
