Mary Jane (Stacy Haiduk) lives in her own little fantasy world and it seems that she'll do almost anything to turn her fantasies into reality. One of these days I expect her to break out into the chorus of "Don't Cha", by The Pussy Cat Dolls during one of her fantasies about Jack.  Imagine her stuffed cat as backup dancer. They could go on tour together.

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
Don't cha, don't cha?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was wrong like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?
Don't cha, don't cha?

On today's CBS and Days of Our Lives episode of Daytime Confidential Luke, Jamey, Mike, Jillian and Melodie discuss the latest in As the World Turns, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, Guiding Light and The Young and the Restless news and storylines, including:

Judi Evans joins As the World Turns, but will she be Paulina Cory as Jamey hopes? Riley reveals to Margo that he is her son. Mike has mixed feelings about Henry and Geneva. Is Guiding Light's "Killer Kreitzman" headed to Oakdale?

Congratulations to The Young and the Restless real and reel life couple Amelia Heinle and Thad Luckinbill (Victoria and JT). The couple is expecting a baby girl, according to Christian Le Blanc (Michael) via Twitter. The new baby will join Thad and Amelia's son Thaddeus Rowe Luckinbill Jr., just "Rowe" for short, born in 2007, and August Manning Weatherly, Heinle's son with ex-husband and NCIS star Michael Weatherly, whom she met when both were appearing on ABC's Loving. August was born in 1997. Thanks Addie for the tip!

I'm too sexy for my cat: Michael Fairman Soaps has a new interview up with Stacy Haiduk (Mary Jane/Patty, The Young and the Restless) where the purrrfectly delicious soap opera whackadoodle shares the origins of her stuffed pussy:

Michael Fairman: So she took Mr. Kitty to a taxidermist?

 Stacy Haiduk: Mary Jane hurt Mr. Kitty and killed Mr. Kitty.  She killed the bird and then went back and talked to Mr. Kitty and said, “You know I did this and it’s similar to what I did to you.  But you understand Kitty, right?”  I think what they are saying is when she does not get what she wants, the pain inside of her begins and the pot is boiling over, and she can’t hold it in anymore, and she does something like that.

Should SOAPnet produce a splashy Santa Barbara miniseries or movie? Jamey lays out the evidence on why he thinks they should. (Daytime Confidential)

Check out the latest rant on the PVB regarding how low can SOAPnet go. Do you agree with Kathy, has the station has "jumped the shark"? (Pine Valley Bulletin)

As the malpractice suit/murder mystery on General Hospital trudges along, we've been entertained by some great quote worthy moments, here are some of the best (Scrubs Hub)

In their latest Soap Opera Digest column, the Serial Drama girls focus on veteran characters. Some shows, like All My Children and The Young & The Restless, use them well and give them great stories, and then there's General Hospital and what they have done with Luke Spencer. (Serial Drama)

I was compelled to pause the DVR after being so totally outraged over the scene that took place at the Chancellor estate. If Neil genuinely recognized the fact that Mrs. "C" was in trouble, he should have called 911 immediately. (Soap Opera Examiner)

Lisa LoCicero just got a contract on General Hospital. Will it matter? Either way, we're happy! (Wubs.net) READ MORE
