Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (May 9, 2008)

Monday marks the debut of Max Greenfield's debut on Greek as Calvin's new love interest. I'd originally been told he would be around for a multi-episode arc, but now we're hearing it will be three. Hmm, that doesn't really love much time to be much of a love interest.

Britney fans can rejoice as the poptart returns to How I Met Your Mother on Monday night. Neil Patrick Harris fans can rejoice because the show is one of the few whose ratings have actually gone up since the end of the writers' strike (in part because of a new time slot). This means there is a pretty good chance the show will be back next season and while it is definitely hit and miss, when it hits, it hits pretty darn good.

Monday also has yet another ep of Dancing with the Stars. I haven't paid much attention thus far, but then I happened to catch this pic of Cristian de la Fuente and I thought, hmm, perhaps I should be paying more attention.

Speaking of DWTS, every week I mention one of the judges is the out Bruno Tonioli (hence, why I mention it every week), and next week we'll have out interview with Italian dancer/choreographer who is a very charming fellow.

Will the newly out Eric show up on Gossip Girl Monday night? Probably not. If he does, will someone please notify me stat? Or not.

Tony (Ken Marino) wasn't on last Tuesday's Reaper, but I' told he's supposed to be in the final two. We'll see....

Is Brian Peeler really gone from Work Out? Does anyone really care?

Ugly Betty is one of those show's I adore so I'm rather baffled by how much its ratings have slipped. It's criminal that Two and a Half Men pulls higher ratings. You'd think the sight of Eddie Cibrian in gym shorts would've been enough to spike the ratings, but nooooo.... So maybe a shirtless Eddie will do the trick.

But that scene won't happen until the May 20 episode. However, Eddie does show up next week as a chaperone at a dance at Justin's school. Justin definitely doesn't look happy about something. Perhaps he doesn't like the idea of mom dating his mean gym teacher.

There's a new Step It Up & Dance Thursday night and in case you missed last week's episode, John and Colin give it their patented vlog treatment and even have yet another guest star.
