No word whether being on too many VH1 shows is considered an addiction. •Stephen Colbert is being sued for $65 million by Cenk Uygur, a host on Air America's Young Turks who claims Colbert stole his joke comparing Republicans to Klingons. In an unrelated story, the "Geeks" from Beauty and the Geek have all signed up for a Republican party.



• The complete DVD set of Star Trek: The Next Generation will hit stores October 2. In an unrelated story, the newly Republican "Geeks" from Beauty and the Geek are refusing to work on October 2.
