Do you have what it takes to be a Chipmunk?

· All you need to do is put together an audition tape and post it to our YouTube channel.

· For your backing track you can use “We’re The Chipmunks," “Witch Doctor” or any song you really love.

· Hit us with a little high-pitched sped-up vocalizing, or sing like you always do.

· Dance, dress up, use props, go “nuts.” In other words, Get Munked!

Naturally this is a Sarah Palin gig waiting to happen, but that doesn't mean the bodies of pitchy, precocious dreamers aren't piling up behind him on YouTube — which is where we leave you now to plot either your strategy or your revenge. Us, we think we'll take a hamster after all.

[A]fter 16 episodes of Fox Legacy, the Fox Movie Channel show that Mr. Rothman hosts, [Fox scion Richard] Zanuck and other naysayers are backtracking. The jocular Mr. Rothman has developed a cult following for his historical monologues and self-deprecating style. He gets fan mail — no less a viewer than Steven Spielberg recently dropped him a note — and more episodes are on order.

Fox Movie Channel, which is not part of Mr. Rothman's oversight, has lately been campaigning for an Emmy nomination for its new star. "The astounding thing for me, and I did find it truly astounding, is that he actually pulls this off," Mr. Zanuck said.

Indeed, we hope Rothman's triumph influences a new generation of front-office stars — say, Ben Silverman doing sideline reporting from women's swimming events at the upcoming Olympics or Jeff Robinov surveying the cutthroat reality environs of Survivor: Warner Bros. from afar. Or, in a perfect world, The Harvey Weinstein Garbage Hour, featuring an all-star line-up of contestants competing for one returned call from voicemails left for the mogul as far back as 2006. We'd watch it.
