These promo pics for The Office just get funnier and funnier!

It looks like sumo wrestler Jim loses out to sumo wrestler Stanley. And then sumo wrestler Stanley faces off against sumo wrestler Dwight! Who will be Sumo champ? My guess is the mighty Dwight!

Here’s the synopsis from NYC:

Michael is being considered for a position in corporate and has to recommend his replacement, but while the group expects a fun outing at Lake Scranton, Michael has planned a day of “Survivor”-like competitions to find his successor. Meanwhile, Pam is not asked to join in any of the activities and is forced to watch Jim and Karen have fun together.

The supersized “Beach Games” episode of The Office airs @ 8:40-9:20PM on NBC. Don’t miss it!

P.S. Pam, your rolled up jeans are a hoot!

Hilarious new promos for The Office have been released and there is lingerie everywhere! Be sure to check out the reaction of Angela (wearing a cat sweater) to Michael holding up a pair of panties at the lingerie shop. Hilarious!

Here’s a little synopsis from NBC: “Outrage breaks out in the office after Phyllis gets an unexpected eyeful from a flasher. Michael makes some important personal decisions when he takes the women on a special outing. Meanwhile, Dwight and Andy work on catching the predator.”

OfficeTally and GMMR made set visits when this episode was filming. This episode is also Jenna Fischer’s personal favorite episode of the new ones coming up, which she just blogged about on MySpace.

The supersized “Women’s Appreciation” episode of The Office airs @ 8:35-9:19PM on NBC.

New promos for The Office have arrived. Looks like Michael is going to jump off the Dunder-Mifflin building!!

Andy returns to the office after several weeks of anger management training, determined to make a fresh start with all the Dunder-Mifflin employees. Meanwhile, it’s safety training day in the office, and Michael and Dwight are on a mission to illuminate the true dangers of the workplace.

I never knew how awful Pam’s shoes were until now with this bird’s eye view. Wow, those are 50 kinds of ugly. And noticet the smashed watermelon on one of the cars in the parking lot!

The Office episode “Safety Training” airs Thursday, April 12 @ 8:30PM ET/PT on NBC.

Rashida Jones, aka Karen Filippelli from The Office, makes the list of TV’s 40 hottest stars who steam up the screen in TV Guide’s “Sexy Issue.”

Co-star Ed Helms (Andy Bernard) sounds off on 31-year-old Rashida Jones:

Rashida Jones and I first met on The Office set. We were in the same situation at the same time — the new kids — and she was an ally right off the bat. I think her character’s appeal stems from being straightforward and honest, but also up for a good joke. In real life, Rashida is like that. She’s very present, quick with a joke and makes people feel comfortable. For someone with her background — being Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones‘ daughter — she’s so accessible and down-to-earth. There’s an inherent graciousness in that; it’s refreshing. One of the things that Rashida and I have in common is that we’re both closet dorks. We both sang in a cappella groups in college. Occasionally, we’ll just sort of break into a cappella renditions of stupid songs just to keep each other amused. To me, anybody who doesn’t mind acting like an ass is admirable.”

Bigger scans of Rashida Jones in TV Guide’s “Sexiest Issue” after the jump…

Femme not-so-fatale Rashida Jones, who plays Karen Filippelli on NBC’s hit-show The Office, has a “Paper Doll” feature in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly. Rashida on her making the show: “I kept saying to Ed Helms, [who plays the dim-witted rageaholic Andy], I felt like like I had won some radio contest and they had thrown me into my favorite show.”

GMMR reports that Rainn Wilson is scheduled to host Saturday Night Live on Feb. 24! HOW. VERY. EXCITING!

HAHAHA!!! Jan forces Michael to the wall for a full-on kiss!!! Whew!! Looking at that picture makes me all hot and bothered.

Pictured: Steve Carell as Michael Scott, Melora Hardin as Jan Levinson, Rashida Jones as Karen Filippelli, and John Krasinski as Jim Halpert.

The Office episode “Cocktails” airs Thursday, Feb 22 @ 8:30PM ET/PT on NBC.

And if you missed it last night, Mindy Kaling on Conan. Also check out Rashida Jones on Carson if you missed that last week.

Worlds collided at The Sundance Film Festival 2007 as two of my favorites in Hollywood bumped into each other. The OC’s Adam Brody and The Office’s Rashida Jones (both single, by the way) met up at the Hollywood Life House at The Ten after party.

The Ten is David Wain’s take on the Ten Commandments, which is broken into ten bite-size stories, each inspired by one of the ten commandments. There are some big names attached to this film: Jessica Alba, Adam Brody, Paul Rudd, Famke Fanssen, Gretchen Mol, Winona Ryder, and Liev Schreiber.
