Not a Gleek? Then tune in to UNC-TV for a very interesting Frontline episode "The Vaccine War" (9 tonight).

It's a clear-headed, one-hour look at the debate surrounding vaccine safety. That debate is between parents and activists (and parent activists) and the public health community. There are the parents who are opting out of vaccinations for fear that they are excessive and unnecessary, and the parents who believe there is a link between vaccinations and disorders like autism.

Scientists, on the other hand, say that the studies show those links don't exist and worry about the re-introduction of long dormant or preventable diseases at rates no longer seen.

Happiness has gotten into "The Celebrity Apprentice" (NBC, 9 tonight)
and last week's episode had us talking about who was the was the worst offender on the let's-beat-up-on-Cyndi-Lauper bandwagon.

Let's look at the candidates:

Michael Johnson, the Olympian who thinks good leadership means not listening to anyone and going with your gut, even if you don't know what the heck you're talking about.

As long as you take responsibility for your foolishness, it seems, you're OK. And Donald Trump seemed to co-sign that definition.

Worse, when Lauper tried to explain why Johnson's failed advertorial didn't work, he rudely cut her off using the words of the next candidate...

My, has Jenny McCarthy come up.

Remember when she was the goofy cute girl on MTV's "Singled Out?"

Now Jim Carrey's boo is a mom, author and autism anti-vaccination activist, who speaks passionately about her son's recovery from the disorder. Apparently Oprah has noticed.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the mogul has signed her to a mult-year overall deal with Harpo Productions to develop projects, including a
syndicated talk show that the actress/author would host.

The first collaboration is a blog by McCarthy on
Oprah.com, which launched on Friday. As you know, Oprah has already changed the lives of Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray, and countless others now making a whole lotta money.

Wonder if she's interested in TV bloggers...
