The Beek to Guest on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

E!’s Korbi Ghosh just broke the new that James van der Beek will be guesting on an upcoming episode of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.  Who exactly who The Beek will be portraying is TBD but rumors are swirling that he might just be an old crush of Canadian pop sensation, Robin Sparkles.

Now this is a HIMYM guest star I can really get behind. I’m grabbing some dinner with Ms. Ghosh herself tonight so I’ll try to see if she has any more scoopage.

New Kids on the Block Reuniting this Friday

Break out the acid washed jeans because the original kids are back! After first hinting at a reunion back in January, the New Kids on the Block will be reuniting on The Today Show this Friday, April 4th. Some reports are saying the guys will perform together while others just hinted of an interview - the first joint public appearance for all 5 guys in years.

Me? I’m hoping they are performing right before they announce the dates for the NKOTB Reunion Tour.

This makes for a happy day.

Check out some new videos of the guys reflecting back on their NKOTB days here.

What to Watch…Monday, March 31, 2008

Believe it or not I’m walking on air I’m back in L.A.. It feels like I was just here. It’s nice to be back in the warmer-than-Boston climate. I’m only here until Tuesday and then I’m heading back home. I’ve got my Slingbox so hopefully I can keep up with tonight’s TV. Of course I’m looking forward to THE BIG BANG THEORY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER the most…my Monday shows, ah. Actually, I went to a friend’s house last night and she lives across from CBS Studios and I was greeted with a huge poster (the size of the building) of Sheldon and Leonard…I was so happy!

Ok so here’s a sample of what’s on TV tonight. What will YOU be watching?

The Big Bang Theory | 8pm on CBS
“The Pancake Batter Anomoly”
Sheldon gets sick, but the guys refuse to take care of him because he’s such a bad patient, which leaves an unsuspecting Penny to nurse him back to health.

Check out a clip from tonight’s episode…

Dancing with the Stars | 8pm on ABC
In this third week of performances, the “talent” takes on the tango and the jive. It’s been a while since I’ve watched this show, but if I remember correctly the jive is the kiss of death for most of the dancers, no? Any standouts so far this season? How’s Adam Carolla and Steve Guttenberg doing?

How I Met Your Mother | 8:30pm on CBS
“The Bracket”
Barney tries to find the mystery woman who’s out to ruin his reputation, and he uses the basketball tournament-bracket template to eliminate 64 suspects, all of whom have reasons to hate him.

Annnnnnd scene…

New Amsterdam |9pm on Fox
“Legacy”
When a murder victim in Chinatown reminds John of a son he lost in the early 20th century, the investigation leads to a ruthless crime family who are related to his offspring, causing John to reflect on the consequences of his immortality. (GMMR: If you’re watching this show, will you leave me a comment and let me know how it is?)

The Bachelor | 9:30pm on ABC
Matt has 12 bachelorettes from which to choose, and he selects two of them for one-on-one dates: a movie premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with Holly; and a trip to an Ojai, Cal., winery in his Maserati with Shayne. (GMMR: Ugh, I’m kind of bummed that I haven’t yet seen The Bachelor. I was away when it premiered and now I feel like I’m too far behind. You guys are liking this season, right?)

The New Adventures of Old Christine | 9:30pm on CBS | Season Finale
The third season concludes with Christine fearing she may be experiencing perimenopause after her gynecologist (Jason Alexander) suggests her flu-like symptoms may be a sign of it. The news makes Christine determined to take control of her hormones.

Paradise Hotel 2 | 9pm on My TV
“Paradise Confidential”
The guys hold a “hot bod” contest to impress the new female guest, who’s later given power to use the gossip she’s privy to against the others. (GMMR: I’m so excited to see where things are headed now that hot-headed Raheim is gone. Even if it’s embarrassing please tell me that someone out there besides me and Col S. are watching this show?!)

Also playing…

• Kyle XY | 8pm on ABC Family
• Two and a Half Men | 9pm on CBS
• CSI: Miami |10pm on CBS
• Medium | 10pm on NBC

BIG BROTHER 9 Spoilers from Inside the House - POV Winner

Finally some strategy inside the walls of the BIG BROTHER house. There’s been some shiftiness happening and you know how I like me some shiftiness.

Find out who won the POV and eavesdrop as to who the houseguests are conspiring to send home. Check out the latest spoilers here: Big Brother 9 spoilers!

BIG BROTHER Spoilers (Update #18) - POV Winner

So the veto competition was held today. The houseguests had to do some mathematical conversions of some sort in order to get an answer and depending on how close they were to the actual, the better they did.

James won and Sharon was all upset because she feels that she let Josh down because now Josh will be going home.

Natalie plans to put Sharon up in James’ place. Sheila is kissing Sharon’s butt in order to stay on her good side because she thinks that Josh is already leaving with a 4-0 or 3-1 vote. However, Natalie, Ryan, Josh and James make a pact to keep Josh in the game because it’ll keep Natalie and Ryan safer in the long run. Basically, Josh is giving Natalie and Ryan a two week pass where he will not put them up if he gets HOH, and they all only have to guarantee that they vote to keep him in this week. He plans on continuing to mope around like he is going home, even though he knows he won’t be if Ryan and Natalie follow through.

James is sitting pretty because he’s told the whole house that he is giving Josh the pity vote, so Ryan looks like the flip-flopper and Natalie breaks the tie. However, it is still Friday and eviction isn’t until Wednesday, so there are still 5 more days of drama to take place.

Big Brother Spoilers (Update #17) - Food Comp and Nominations

GMMR’s resident Big Brother watcher, Kilwiggle, is back with a few spoilers from inside the BIG BROTHER 9 house.

Last night, James approached Natalie about a possible secret alliance. He said that she could use the fact that she was going to backdoor him in order to put up Joshuah and Sharon. He told her to think about it, but that he’d have her back in the game because they both lost their partners and that he wants to work with her, but couldn’t while Chelsia was there. He said that he got Matt out because he was the biggest threat to him and he couldn’t take that chance.

This morning a food competition was held. I’m not sure what the competition was, but everyone but Natalie and Adam are on slop. Sharon said that she isn’t going to use her slop pass because she doesn’t think it would be fair to the rest of the house.

Natalie also had to make her nominations. She chose Josh and James to put on the block.

Christian Siriano to Guest on UGLY BETTY

Christian Siriano thinks he knows fierce…but he hasn’t met Marc St. James yet. All that’s going to change in May when the Project Runway winner guests on a sweeps episode of Ugly Betty which will also feature a cameo from Project Runway judge and Creative Director of ELLE Magazine, Nina Garcia.

According to reports, Christian will have a run in with Mode Magazine’s own ‘hot tranny mess’ - Alexis Meade (Rebecca Romijn). Let’s hope the writers give us a scene with a Christian and Marc - talk about fierce.

And in case you need a little Marc fix, here’s one of my favorite bits. In charge Marc is a hot mess.
