Queerview television guide: June 30

Anderson Cooper returns to the guest-host seat on today's Live with Regis and Kelly, which means I've got my fingers crossed for another report on the state of cable reality shows.

And then, will gay BFF Stephan and the other hopefuls face some jail time as the competition to become Paris Hilton's New BFF continues?

Gay-fave Anderson Cooper returns to the guest-host chair as Seann William Scott stops by to talk the new Ice Age movie and Kristinia DeBarge performs.

Better Off Ted (ABC) 9:30 PM EDT
Tonight, Lem tries to work up the nerve to ask another Veridian scientist, Lucy, out on a date... which should put Lem's bromantic relationship with his lab partner Phil (Jonathan Slavin) front and center. Usually, with shows like Better Off Ted and How I Met Your Mother, I try to focus on episodes that look likely to put the show's gay actor in the spotlight but Slavin gets a satisfying amount of screen time no matter what the story may be.

Paris Hilton's My New BFF (MTV) 10:00 PM EDT
The remaining BFFs get dragged to prison where they have pink sheets, obstacle courses and an interrogation from the Three 6 Mafia to face. Supposedly, they're supposed to go through the ordeal Paris encountered in prison but that's probably too much reality for MTV.
