Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
iCarly: American Idol finalist David Archuleta will be targeting the teen demos when he makes a stop on Nickelodeon. In the appearance, which will be taped this Thursday, the singer will play…himself. But there will be a twist. Instead of being known for his FOX show, Archuleta will be a contestant on a program called “America Sings.” This guest stint not-so-coincidentally comes around the time David’s first album drops. His self-titled debut hits stores on November 11.)

Season premieres: The Big Bang Theory, Boston Legal, CSI: Miami, Dancing with the Stars, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Worst Week
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.

How I Met Your Mother Publishes The Bro Code
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip, News,
Forget Robin Sparkles videos. The creators of How I Met Your Mother will soon be putting out something far more culturally significant: The Bro Code.
Those who followed Season 3 remember The Bro Code was something Barney Stimson (Neil Patrick Harris) violated when he ended up sleeping with Ted’s ex. Hoping to repair the relationship with his “bro”, Barney seeks Marshall’s legal help.
In the episode, we learned more about Stimson’s “list of Dos and Don’ts for all bros.” (You can see that clip from “The Goat” after the jump.) Articles in the book - which supposedly originated from a conversation between George Washington and Benjamin Franklin - include:
Article #1: Bros before Hos.
Article #34: Bros can not make eye contact during a ‘Devil’s Three-Way.’ (Two dudes.)
Article #89: The mom of a bro is always off-limits but the stepmom of a bro is fair game if she initiates it and/or is wearing at least one article of leopard print clothing.

New Glimpse of Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip,
Here it is—your first look at Britney Spears’ return to How I Met Your Mother.
Based on this picture alone, I’m guessing that Barney is aiming to sleep with Abby? Yeah, I have no idea where I got that idea from either.
Look for Spears to set another HIMYM ratings high next Monday (May 12).
