WILL WEEDS GET US HIGH AGAIN?

If the last season of Showtime's "Weeds" was a skunky buzz kill, a puff of Season Four will probably make you paranoid. In the first two episodes, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) hits the road having burned down her house, moves in with her dead husband's father (a gambler played by the always brilliant Albert Brooks) and helps run drugs across the Mexican border. She also develops an obsession with birds. Meanwhile, middle-aged stoners Doug and Dean (Kevin Nealon and Andy Milder) continue to fry brain cells as Nancy's ex-pal Celia Hodes is busted for Nancy's crimes. Weeds (June 16th, 10 p.m.) is aging like an old pothead: Hanging out is still fun, but you wonder if its old self is ever coming back.

DINA LOHAN RULES

We always knew that Lohan girl was going to be a star. Wait: Did you think we meant Lindsay? Nah, we meant Mama-Lo, Dina, the brassy Long Island hell-on-wheels now entertaining the crap out of us on her scattershot E! channel series, Living Lohan (Sundays, 10:30 p.m.). "Oh, God, whatever!" Dina tells us of her reality-TV fame. "We did this just to defuse the rumors. . . . The tabloids have been so horrific to us over the past two years, so we're trying to fix it." While LL may not succeed in that effort — it appears only a U.N. resolution could stabilize the Lo clan — we're launching a Dina-for-an-Emmy campaign. We want to see that speech. And the afterparty.
