TV Junkie: Paula Abdul Tries to Appear Normal on Leno; "24" Part Deux; the Golden Globes on NBC

A Word or 44:
The first 1/2 of the "24" season premiere was quite good even though I don't understand how Jack found the terrorist dude before his house got blown up. Also, was there some anal play going on between Jack and the first terrorist guy? Kinky.

"Lawrence of Arabia" (TCM, 5:00 p.m.) Quite possibly the best movie ever made.
