It looks like Dancing With The Stars is beginning to pay off for R’n'B singer Mya.
The DWTS finalist, who finished second in the competition last night, has signed on to guest star in an episode of freshman drama Mercy. She will play a melo-dramatic daughter of of a dying 80 year old man who is in the care of Chloe (Michelle Trachenberg).
The episode is scheduled to air on Jan 6.
Apparently we’re going to see more of Marshall at Goliath National Bank on How I Met Your Mother - with Amanda Peet.

Early last week, while on-set for the CBS comedy’s 100th episode celebration, NPH told reporters that Amanda Peet would be a person he’d love to see on the show. “I really like her,” Harris said. “I think that would be fun.”
Days later, her deal was done.
Peet (Something’s Gotta Give, The Whole Nine Yards, Studio 60, The Ex) will guest star on an episode titled “Jenkins” early next year. She will play Marshall (Jason Segel)’s co-worker.
The actress, last seen on television regularly in NBC’s defunct “Studio 60 on The Sunset Strip” has most recently been working on the upcoming “Gulliver’s Travels” film, in which Segel will star as well.
Is that a sex scandal I see heading toward the small Indiana town of Pawnee?
Amy Poehler recently teased that her husband, Will Arnett may soon be joining her on, what I think, is the most improved comedy of the 2009-2010 season, Parks and Recreation.
What did Executive Producer Mike Schur (or Mose Shrute as I like to think of him) have to say on the matter? He said there are “some exciting potential guest stars, pretty big stars and comedians” scheduled to appear on the show, but wouldn’t spill any further deets.
Apparently Leslie is seen at a bar late night with a Councilman and photographed by a tabloid newspaper. Of course, Leslie ends up being shunned by Pawnee, not unlike the gay penguin affair of earlier this season.
She is also breaking up with Dave – “A lot of really heavy stuff happens in the next couple weeks. It’s really good!” Amy said. Another thing that was revealed at the Paley Centre love-fest was that there is an April-Andy (Aubrey Plaza – Chris Pratt) romance in the works, which could lead to Ann showing her jealous side.
I’m super excited about the possibility of the Arnett- Poehler hook-up because I loved the two on Arrested Development. I also love the last faux sex scandal Arnett was involved in, which also involved Aziz Ansari and the Human Giant team….
Sarah Shahi starring vehicle “Facing Kate” has added a couple of familiar faces.
“Battlestar Galactica’s” Michael Trucco and “How I Met Your Mother” actress Virginia Williams have joined the pilot, sources are reporting
The series follows Kate (Shahi), a lawyer who gets a divorce and then shifts careers to become a mediator after the death of her dad who headed up a law firm.
Williams will play Kate’s younger widowed stepmother, while Trucco will play Kate’s ex, a charming attorney who still harbors feelings for her.
Trucco played Anders on “Battlestar,” while Williams appeared as Claudia on a few episodes of “How I Met Your Mother” and guest starred on USA’s “In Plain Sight.”
LOST star Naveen Andrews has signed to guest star in an upcoming episode of Law & Order: SVU which is to air in January 2010, TV Guide is reporting.
The deets haven’t been released thus far but apparently the filming is due to start next week in NYC.
What does this mean for Sayid on LOST? Could be nothing, could be something. You have to remember that LOST has a very large cast and that he could just be on a break from shooting and then head straight back to Hawai’i as soon as SVU’s done. Apparently LOST is in production on episode 6 of the 18 scheduled to shoot this season, so even if he isn’t around for that part of the season, there’s still a chance he’ll be back for the final half.
Andrews must be under contract with ABC Studios (who produce LOST) which means that either they’ve let him go out to play whilst still under contract or there is no contract (which means he’s been written off the show).
I could speculate about this for hours, so I’m gonna stop here. Andrews’ SVU episode will air in January 2010, Lost starts in Feb 2010 so it could just be that they don’t care that he wanted to do it and just let him. (Plus they felt sorry for NBC!)
So there’s a plane bearing towards Wisteria Lane and now we know who the pilot who crashes it is.
The Simpsons star Dan Castellaneta, (the voice of Homer Simpson), will be taking on the role of the pilot that crashes a small plane in Fairview during the midseason finale of Desperate Housewives on December 6.
Castellaneta has recently guest starred on Greek as Rusty and Dale’s professor in the ABC Family show.
According to Carlton Cuse (Executive Producer of LOST) William Atherton has been cast on the upcoming final season of LOST.
Although there are a shortcoming of deets into what role he’ll be playing, Cuse did lead us to the scoop with his subtle clues on Twitter.
He said:
- “Damon and I are die hard fans of this impeckable actor who keeps the barr high and just signed to guest star on the show. Life is good!” Atherton was in Die Hard and played Walter Peck in Ghostbusters.
- Then he said ” … who keeps the barr high” – he was on Desperate Housewives as Dr. Barr; and “Life is good” – Atherton was also on NBC’s cancelled ‘Life’ last season.
He then followed up with: ”Yes, it’s a clue.”
I for one, would not like to know any details on the casting because i’m just looking forward to getting some answers on screen!
Lost is due to start back up in February.
Ok now Dawson, we get it, you’re no longer the squeaky clean teen star you were in the 90’s.
James Van Der Beek has signed on to guest star in ABC’s The Forgotton, playing a dark and shady stockbroker.
The Forgotton has settled in poorly over on ABC, settling at around 2.o A18-49 rating and 9 million viewers. They must be trying to bring up the ratings with this stunt casting.
According to EW, Madonna has given the OK for FOX’s fall hit, Glee to use her back catalogue of songs for an upcoming episode. Oh, did you think that I meant that she………oh no silly, Madonna can’t act. The Glee producers are, however trying to get American Idol runner up Adam Lambert to appear in the future.
In other casting news, NCIS staple Pauley Perrette is moving over to guest star on sister show NCIS: Los Angeles. In an episode slated to appear on Nov 24 Perrette is due to land in LA only to be abducted.
In other hit TV news, Snoop Dogg has told reporters that he would like to have a guest role on HBO vampire hit, True Blood.
Hit (At least with the EMMY commitee) NBC show, 30 Rock has tapped former Daily Show (and Studio 6o rival) correspondent Nate Corddry to play Liz’s upstairs neighbor, Brian.
The actor-comedian — most recently seen as stalker Gene Stuart on Showtime’s United States of Tara — will guest star in this season’s sixth episode.
The plot finds duplex-obsessed Liz scheming to get Brian to ditch his apartment so she can buy it and combine it with hers. Her plan hits a snag when she discovers something really unexpected and extremely spoilery.
