According to the Globe, state senator Dianne Wilkerson's longtime political pal Ron Wilburn may have been the "cooperating witness" (CW) behind the FBI operation against Wilkerson. The FBI isn't revealing its sources, but Wilkerson aides claim--and FBI footage seems to confirm--that Wilburn is the man who bribed Wilkerson to get him a liquor license.

America's Next Top Model: Quite a week for our locals! Alas, Massachusetts contestants seem to be following a trend. Like Mila from the last season, Kimberly, a bank teller from Worcester left in the first show. However, she volunteered to get out of the house. Some shocking information about Kimberly was revealed at the last possible minute--she thinks its silly for people to carry around a $700 handbag!

Bobby Brown, we love you, but this week marked the debut of the new "America's Next Top Model" cycle, and we must lead with that. Tyra and the J-Boys (Miss J. and Jay) put the aspiring models through a charm school of sorts, in which they wore uniforms and took class photos. Kimberly, a bank teller from Worcester, was cute in a clean-cut, ditzy cheerleader way. She made it to the next round, and Bostonist bets Tyra will make her shave her head in the makeover episode, just to wipe the smile off her face.

The next season of America's Next Top Model will air on the CW starting February 20, and the new cast has been revealed. Last time, Sarah Hartshorne, aka "Vita Lightly" of the Boston Babydolls, represented Boston well, and now not one, but two women from Massachusetts will be undergoing extreme makeovers and wearing ridiculous clothes.

--Now that Spatch has been rooming with a CW celebrity, perhaps he thought that another CW reality show, the mother-daughter beauty pageant extravaganza Crowned, might be as good. He was wrong. [Derspatchel]

Update: Joan just gave us a heads-up in the comments section that Jen, David, and Nicole will be at Felt tonight to watch the finale. Beauty & the Geek will end tonight with a decision between two teams, each with a Massachusetts resident. Will the golden-voiced Nicole and her meatheaded Beauty Sam win? Or will LARPer David, who already has a dating site and a big local fan base, and the squeaky-voiced Jasmine triumph?...

Bostonist always knew that The Hub offered prime casting choices for the CW's Beauty & the Geek. This season features three local geeks and one local beauty. Naturally, the casting crew headed to Boston to find new talent for the next cycle. Based on what Bostonist saw at The Estate on Saturday afternoon, the casting team couldn't have been disappointed. Despite miserable, dank weather, plenty of beauties and geeks arrived for group interviews. Two MIT...

Survivor: China: This week marked the all-important tribal merger, not to mention heaps of shenanigans involving the Immunity Idol. Yet Denise, our beloved Denise, barely spoke. What is with all this drama drama drama and no Denise? Is this a subtle hint that she may have won the whole thing? Since no one is letting Denise talk, we decided to check out her bio over at the official Survivor: China site. She's a badass. She...

This was a rough week, as we were faced with some hard calls regarding our shows, the World Series, and TiVo limitations. TiVo did not deliver America's Next Top Model, so this week's discussion is somewhat abbreviated. --Beauty and the Geek: The geeks have a fantasy handed to them on a platter--turning their beauties into super-heroines for the Comic-Con convention in San Diego. The geeks are dizzy with the possibilities, especially Northeastern Jen's partner, William....

America's Next Top Model airs on the CW (WLVI) tonight at 8:00 pm. One of the Boston Babydolls is going to tangle with Tyra starting tonight. Sarah, also known as Vita Lightly, will be bringing the poise and charm that she's picked up from being a Boston Babydoll. Plus, being a burlesque dancer makes her a helluva lot more interesting than all the other clotheshangers on that show. Sarah Hartshorne, 20, has been a member...

The April rain is seemingly behind us, the flowers are springing, but we're not yet upon summer festival season. Soon enough we won't be able to go a weekend without a sleepless night with ringing in our ears as we spent too many hours in the heat a little too close to a bank of speakers broadcasting to the masses. Well, that or a sweet show at Harbor Lights The Pavilion. Tuesday, 5/8 Grant-Lee...

Now that the new management sent WLVI's longtime news team packing and launched the "7News at 10pm on CW 56," was all the turmoil that Sunbeam Television Corporation caused worth it? Absolutely not. The "7News at 10pm on CW 56," a wordy title already, should be renamed the "New Coke Newscast." The New Coke Newscast might appeal to you if you like Entertainment Tonight, seizure-inducing flashing lights, and out-of-breath newscasters. But, for those of you...

Given that VH1 is kicking off a new season of "Celebreality," featuring ex-child star Danny Bonaduce running amok all over LA, we at Bostonist would like to check up on our own city's most famous boybanders to see if they have matured into responsible citizens.

Something happened to television this week. New shows came on the air, new seasons premiered their new episodes, and a whole new network has taken to the stage – the CW. Since childhood we've known NBC, CBS, and ABC as the big three. At some point along the line that Simpson's carrying station Fox hit the UHF band, but we still had our favorite indie stations on the ultra-high frequencies. TV38 (WSBK) and WLVI 56 replayed sitcoms, showed cartoons for kids, and each had their own special flavor of programming and hosts. We've mused on it before, but TV38's movie loft certainly kept us busy in front of the tube on some rainy weekends.
