If you’re like us, you watch Will & Grace for one reason and one reason only: rich-bitch Karen Walker. Well, as we’ve already told you, Megan Mullally has ditched the accent, Rosario (we’re sad about that, too), and the martinis and signed on to host a brand new daytime talk show.

"The Megan Mullally Show" will include comedic and musical elements, skits, field segments and a band, Mullally said. But one thing it won't have in common with many talk shows of its ilk is that she won't be seated behind a desk. Although the actual set is still being worked out, Mullally said she's aiming for something that's "fresh and different."

Sure, the first times we hear her without her high-pitched “Karen” voice are gonna’ freak us out, but we’ll get over it. Word is the show won’t be as static as most talk shows either (desk-free!) and will feature celebrity guests and good old-fashioned musical stylings. Oh, and we once say Megan and her band, The Supreme Music Program play at The Virgin Mega Store and let’s just say the girl can sing.

Perhaps no Will & Grace character is as beloved as the nasty, backstabbing, arrogant Karen Walker. We do well to recall what actress Megan Mullally said: “Karen is like RuPaul—she’s a character. It never occurred to me until now, but she is!”

Megan has something of a love/sweat relationship with fame. "I can remember before Will & Grace, I would go to the grocery store when I was all sweaty and gross after step classes, and didn't care at all. Now that would be tabloid fodder or something."

You can visit Megan Mullally fan listings titled The Divine Ms. M and fan sites referring to her as Sexy and Sassy. You can do a little light elegant research and learn that when Megan was a teen, she was a star ballerina with the Ballet Oklahoma, and spent summers at the George Ballanchine School of American Ballet. She first enrolled at Northwestern University as a drama student, switched to English and promptly had such success appearing in musicals that casting directors told her remaining in a university would be a perfect waste of her mind.

She played a call girl in Risky Business, appeared in Speaking of Sex as well as in Monkeybone and then she charmed her way into our hearts by being a rotten bitch on wheels to Grace, Will, Jack and Rosario. So how will we get our Megan fix when the series ends? Good news. Megan has just been picked up in four top markets for a talk show to debut in the fall of 2006. Maybe her old friend Tom Cruise will stop by to admit something he’s never admitted before, or alternately, leap on the couch like a freakin’ retard.

• Basketball star Sheryl Swoopes, a three-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time MVP of the WNBA is a lesbian reports Outsports.com. Big shock.

• Karen isn’t going anywhere, honey. Megan Mullally’s talk show has been picked up for next year.

• EBTG’s Ben Watt is set to spin at Cielo in NYC tomorrow night. It will feel like 1999 all over again.

• While reading about Ms. Swoopes our eyes wondered to the Outsport.com photo galleries. OH MY GOD.

Megan Mullally captured our hearts, or our livers, or something by playing the over-the-top ultimate fag-hag Karen on TV’s Will & Grace. During Sunday night’s Emmy awards, she did herself proud as the viewers’ favorite, together with Donald Trump, in a staged singing of the theme song from Green Acres.

Megan portrayed a call girl in Risky Business and has appeared in Queens Logic as well as Monkeybone; in real-life she raised eyebrows by living in West Hollywood with her two poodles Willa and Elmo. Acting on Will & Grace has given her plenty of cause to meditate on the human condition; one of her best quotes is “It doesn’t matter who you love, it’s that you love.”
