MONDAY (1/10)
- Inside the Actors Studio (Bravo, 8 P.M.): "James Lipton conducts an interview with actor and funnyman Jim Carrey, star of The Truman Show (1998), Man on the Moon (1999) and the Ace Ventura films." This would be an example of a "yes man" interviewing the Yes Man.
- Lie to Me (FOX, 8 P.M.): "When Cal (Tim Roth) is asked to determine if a mental hospital patient is being held against his will he begins to question his own sanity." When you go from Reservoir Dogs to a television series, it's natural to question yourself occasionally.
- Castle (ABC, 10 P.M.): "Castle and Beckett interview a top magician (Gilles Marini) after the owner of a magic store drowns in Houdini's legendary water torture tank." Now that's a man who can make magic happen.

VIDEO: Jimmy Kimmel and the Handsome Men’s Club
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Specials, ABC, Video,
Whether you’re watching it for the first time, or for the fifth time—this is some funny s**t.
On last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards special, the host gave us an inside look at the HMC, a.k.a. the Handsome Men’s Club.
Several items were on the agenda during the club’s meeting yesterday. Are Robert Pattinson and Taylor worthy of induction—or are they merely cute? (The Office‘s John Krasinksi already fills the club’s “cute” quota.) Should Ethan Hawke be allowed to change his name to “Handsome” Hawke? (Answer: Yes.) Is Jimmy Kimmel good-looking enough to even be in the club—let alone be it’s president?
Find out what happens - and who betrays Kimmel - in the video above.

- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie’s male ego is bruised when he learns that he hasn’t been satisfying Chelsea.” Well, it has been a long time since he was a Hot Shot.
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 10pm): “Jon and Kate reflect on changes in their lives and the ups and downs over the years in the series finale.” Just so I’m clear—would Jon’s weight be considered an up or a down?

Getting Into Character: Gilles Marini on Nip/Tuck
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Nip/Tuck, Gossip, Spoilers,
We may have seen the last of Gilles Marini on Sex and the City, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be seeing less of the French hunk. (Well - if you take into consideration clothing, we will.)
Although Marini is currently playing Rachel’s boyfriend on Brothers & Sisters, he’s also moonlighting as the husband of Erica Noughton (Vanessa Redgrave) on Nip/Tuck. (You know—the show that likes a lot of skin.) Later this week, Gilles will begin a two-episode arc as the FX program’s latest bad boy.

Gilles Marini Talks About New Brothers & Sisters Role
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC,
I’m already looking forward to my Sunday nights this fall.
Gilles Marini recently confirmed to Us Magazine that he has sealed a deal to appear on Brothers & Sisters next season. The gig would keep the Dancing with the Stars contestant on ABC for an undisclosed number of weeks. “I got a call that producers wanted to write a part for me. I’m thrilled it worked out and that I get to prove myself. The writers and I had a long conversation, and they wanted to know who I am, inside and out,” Gilles said. (I’m sure many other women would like to know him inside and out as well….)
In announcing the news, the 33-year-old also revealed a possible spoiler. “I haven’t met Rachel [Griffiths] yet, but I know it’s going to be a great [partnership].” So does this mean that Sarah will get to make out with another ballroom hunk in a storage room?? (She had a brief fling with Cristián de la Fuente‘s character this past season.)
At this time it’s unclear whether the upcoming Sex and the City sequel is also in Marini’s future. “Hopefully I get a phone call real soon!” Gilles stated.

Brothers & Sisters Targeting Gilles Marini
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC,
You have to hand it to the team behind Brothers & Sisters—they know a hot man when they see one.
Earlier this year, the producers nabbed former Dancing with the Stars contestant Cristián de la Fuente for a brief (and steamy) storyline with actress Rachel Griffiths. Now they are looking to recruit another ballroom star for the upcoming season.
According to TV Guide, Gilles Marini is currently in talks to extend his stay on ABC. Although it’s not exactly known what he be involved in, Cheryl Burke’s partner does reveal that the character would be a possible love match for someone. (Natch!)
As it turns out, Marini would not be the only Sex and the City hunk to guest on that series. Actor Jason Lewis (widely known as Smith Jerrod), has already made several appearances as Chad Barry, Kevin Walker’s former beau.

DWTS’ Latest Injured Stars: Steve Wozniak and Steve-O
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip,
The Dancing with the Stars benchwarmers might want to start warming up.
Less than a week after replacing two of the program’s female celebrities, the producers are now facing several injuries on the male side.
Although he surprised audiences with a Jackass-less waltz last Monday, Steve-O is struggling to make it to Week 2. “A physical therapist has told me that nerves are being pinched in my back, and it is in spasms because of inflammation related to torn muscles. I’m doing everything I can to let it heal—icing it, taking Advil, drinking water, visiting a chiropractor and continuing to be worked on by the physical therapist. I’m still rehearsing every day, but walking through my salsa routine rather than practicing the physical stunts and tricks that are incorporated into it. It is going to be a risky routine that I hope to pull off,” the 34-year-old said in a statement.

DWTS News: Julianne Hough, Gilles Marini and Jewel
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip,
Since we’re now just over a week away from the start of Dancing with the Stars 8, here’s a little backstage scoop to get you warmed up:
Julianne Hough: Three months ago the two-time champion announced she would be taking a hiatus to pursue her music career. So what made her change her mind? A boy.
Hough said ABC used her real-life boyfriend (singer Chuck Wicks) to rope her back in. “It was a last minute deal,” she wrote in her blog. “I was set on taking this season off and then last minute the show asked me to do it because they had asked Chuck to do it and they thought it would be cool if we danced together.”
“At first I still said no because I wanted to focus on my music,” Julianne explained, “BUT then I thought about it for a day and figured this out. I can still write, go on tour and work on Julianne Hough the country singer because Chuck will be my partner and that will be a huge luxury.”
