Office Love Triangle- Holly, Michael, and Jan

The love triangle started in the Season 4 finale will continue into Season 5. NBC execs confirmed that both Melora Hardin (Jan) and Amy Ryan (Holly) will be returning for all of Season 5. When we last left them, Holly asked Michael to go out with her for dessert (hubba hubba). Michael, who has a crush on Holly (and it appears that Holly has one on him), suggested that she goes with Kevin for dessert because Kevin knows good places (in the mean time, Kevin thinks Holly is in to him, but she really thinks he is "slow" as Dwight put it). Jan is now very pregnant with a sperm donor's baby and Michael left her message saying that he would go with her to her lamaze classes (but first "what is lamaze?"), so there is a good chance they will get back together (even after their embarassing Dinner Party fight). Could it be more complicated? Melora Hardin (Jan) says in a recent interview that Jan and Holly will have encounters and that Jan realizes she is a threat. She also said that Jan will be determined to break them up. I personally hope that he ends up with Holly in the very end, but I have a feeling that he is going to go for Jan at first. Hopefully, he comes to his senses and goes after Holly (before Kevin), but I will feel bad that Jan is alone (but it is her fault, she is a psycho and she wanted this baby without Michael). I hope Michael gets a chance to have a family with somebody good. I guess we will have to stay tuned to see what happens.

Amy Poehler on The Office

It was reported earlier this month that Amy Poehler would be leaving SNL to join the new untitled Office spinoff (that would be awesome- Amy Poehler is hilarious!). However, now they are saying that they spinoff will star a current Office character who will remain unnamed at this time and that Amy Poehler will be starring in her own NBC mid-season show that would be produced by many of the same people as the The Office. I will keep you posted!

8 EMMY NOMS!

The Office was nominated for eight Emmys this year. Even though Jim and Pam were snubbed, it is still very exciting. I hope they win, but we will have to wait until September 21 to find out. They were nominated in the following categories:

Sorry

I know that I have not been updating my blog lately. But I am on vacation for part of the summer, so there probably will not be any new updates for a few weeks. But when I come back, there is going to be a lot to write about!
