Steven in Houston: The Office is so great right now! What's coming up?

"Take me home, country road...." ("In German!") So great. Believe it or not, The Office is already filming its 100th episode (due to air May 14), and E! News will be on the set tomorrow to get to goods on both Dunder Mifflin and the Michael Scott Paper Company Inc. Check out the official MSPC website right now, and then check back soon for more scoop!

Brendan in Portland, Ore.: Is it true that Melora Hardin got a pilot? What does this mean for her being on The Office?

Yes, Melora was cast in the new FX pilot called Lights Out, which begins filming this week. Melora says of the pilot, "It's a real gritty, sexy drama about an ex-prize fighter who's married to a pediatric osteopath, that's me. We have children together, and it's a very gritty, sexy relationship that's broken, yet working." As far as this getting in the way of The Office, "Hopefully this pilot will go to series, and I'll be really busy with that," adds Melora.


Juliet in Arkansas City, Kan.: Please, can you give us some Office scoop?

It's been pretty tense at Dunder Mifflin lately, what with Idris Elba driving people to quit, but luckily the gang will get to relax a little soon. Creed Bratton teased to us that there's a casual Friday coming up where Jim (John Krasinski) and Creed play chess. BTW, is that Pam sitting at a sales desk in that pic on the right? Whee!
