Now that's how you kick off a show!

Last night, the premiere of SMASH debuted on NBC and those of you who resisted the temptation of downloading the pilot on iTunes and watching it OnDemand finally got a chance to see it in all it's glory. We invite anyone who wants to to disagree with us, but in our opinion, that might be the best drama pilot episode of a new series since Lost. The talent, the story, the music — it all fit together so seamlessly and brilliantly. Stand outs for us included the impeccable, scene-stealing efforts of the legendary Anjelica Huston and the captivating voice of Megan Hilty, whose character wasn't who we thought she would be — and we were pleasantly surprised by that.

But

Yes! Maybe 2012 will be NBC's year!

Lat night was a WIN for the Peacock network between the return of The Voice and the premiere of SMASH. Taking it's place at its regular time slot, The Voice averaged a demo rating of 6.6, and impressively swelled every half hour, starting at a 5.3 and ending at 7.7.

As for the newbie, SMASH started off solidly with a 4.2 demo rating, then slipped to a 3.4 come its second half-hour averaging out to a 3.8. We imagine that number will go up next week, since a lot of people watched the show online before its premiere. Next week, the HAVE to tune in to see what Anjelica Huston will do next! (Have we mentioned we adore her?!)

Did U tune in for the NBC lineup last night? What did U think?

Well! Things are moving along quite nicely for these two, huh?

Shortly after becoming a divorcee, Debra Messing reportedly started a relationship with her Smash co-star Will Chase. After last night's world premiere of the show in New York, we'd say that the pair have gotten bit more serious.

After the premiere, Will and Debra joined her parents for an extravagant feast. Will was seen getting chummy with Deb's dad, while the lady in red (hair) sat with her mother at her side. No word on how the rents took to Will, but here's hoping they warmed up to him. Debra actually told reporters on the red carpet that she is currently "very" happy and we would have to assume he's part of that.

And really, what else is there but happiness?!

Uma is a feisty gal!!!

On the set of the upcoming musical themed TV show, Glee Smash, Uma has a go at Jerry O'Connell's jaw.

The two stars were snapped by photogs on set for the upcoming show. Uma is rumored to have a five episode arc on Smash.

With a cast that features Debra Messing, Katharine McPhee, and Anjelica Huston, the show is set for a Smash-ing debut.

By now, we're guessing a lot of you took advantage of the free download of SMASH on iTunes this week, checking out the pilot episode before it's big premiere in February.

But just in case you haven't, we thought we would intrigue a bit more with a couple preview teases!

Check out the video (above) to get a brief taste of the most talked about show this season, then CLICK THE JUMP for two more!

Have U seen the pilot yet? What did U think?

Well, this situation just got a whole lot stickier.

We reported yesterday that Debra Messing, who recently divorced her husband, Daniel Zelman, had already started dating her Smash co-star Will Chase, but what we didn't realize that the Broadway actor was already MARRIED to Stephanie Gibson - and now they're getting divorced!

Not good!

We have a feeling that this one is a whole lot messier and a whole lot less 'amicable' than what it appears!

But hey! Maybe she can use it to pull a Brandi Glanville and land herself on Real Housewives of New York!

Gurl looks like she can weeeeeeerq it with the Countess!

Moving right along!
