NASCAR Notes: Matt Borland is out as the crew chief for Dale Jarrett's #44 UPS Toyota at MWR...Scott Wimmer sued Bill Davis Racing for $1.2 million in unpaid salary in 2006. Wimmer is alledging that Bill Davis did not follow the correct procedure when they fired him. ..Richard Petty will meet with Queen Elizabeth II at the Kentucky Derby before heading over to Richmond for the Nextel Cup race on Saturday.

I think I am seriously going to cry...yesterday it was announced that "Gilmore Girls" will not come back for a 8th season. The series finale will air on May 15th on the CW. Seriously, after they air the final episode, I will no longer be watching the CW. (You can't get rid of "Everwood" in favor of "7th Heaven" and then cancel "GG" without reprecussions!)
This weekend in theaters is the third installment of the Spiderman Movies, Spiderman 3. The movie is receiving mixed reviews. Also in theaters, Drew Barrymore's latest, Lucky You and Keri Russell's Waitress, which garnered a lot of buzz at Sundance where is premiered last winter.
Don't forget to catch an all new episode of "Brothers & Sisters" at 10 PM/est on ABC on Sunday.
It's been fun blogging with you,
Kate
