Food for thought: Is Pete Hornberger, producer of “The Girlie Show Starring Tracy Jordan” actually the most normal person on the show’s staff? Or do we only get to see actor Scott Adsit in such short bursts as Tina Fey’s straight man on “30 Rock” that we don’t know the real Pete yet?

That’s one of the questions I’ll ask my guest this morning. I’m also curious about his guest role on the most recent episode of “Life On Mars,” in which he plays an actor-slash-bartender.

Surgeon General's Warning: Hollywood is Dangerous to Your Health! (TV Guide)

Here's something I bet you didn't know: Becoming a TV star will stunt your growth!

It's true, it's true. And here's how I know: the two latest issues of TV Guide magazine.

I was a little suspicious last week when the "Fall Preview" issue (September 8) featured the leading men of five new shows—Rufus Sewell ("Eleventh Hour"), Simon Baker ("The Mentalist"); Christian Slater ("My Own Worst Enemy"), Joshua Jackson ("Fringe"), and Jason O'Mara ("Life On Mars")—were all eye-to-eye on the cover.

But when the latest issue—"Returning Favorites" (Sept. 15)—arrived today, lo and behold, all the women on that cover were also eye-to-eye! That's right, Brooke Shields ("Lipstick Jungle") and Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("The New Adventures of Old Christine") are the same height! And so are Kate Walsh ("Private Practice") and Emily Deschanel ("Bones")!

But wait! In an interior photo, Deschanel towers over Louis-Dreyfus!

More food for thought: Ryan Seacrest ("America Idol"), Jeff Probst ("Survivor") and Howie Mandel ("Deal or No Deal") are te same height in a group photo as Heidi Klum ("Project Runway")!

(Apparently the cast of "ER" must get its water supply shipped in from the Midwest, because its cast photos shows actors of a variety of heights.)

Is it Photoshop, or something more sinister? Is it a job for "House" or Columbo"?
