Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s return to TV this fall in The CW thriller Ringer is one of the more exciting prospects that television has to offer but it won’t be her only appearance on the small screen.

Gellar confirmed that she will pop up again in Pine Valley before All My Children shuts down it’s network run on September 23rd.

Speaking at the CBS, The CW & Showtime TCA press conference this week in Beverly Hills, California, the 34 year-old actress told reporters she would indeed head back to ABC – but not as Kendall, her original role.

“I can officially confirm I will be doing a guest spot,” Gellar said.

The actress said she would not take on her original character because someone else is currently playing it. “I was very specific. I don’t want to be Kendall (Hart). That’s Alicia (Minshew’s) role.”

Gellar’s new TV role as a twin who assumes her sister’s life and identity after things go wrong leaves her with the ability to see to her most cherished role – mom to 22 month-old Charlotte Grace, her daughter with actor and husband Freddie Prinze Jr.

“Once I had my daughter, I realized that I was done living the nomadic lifestyle,” Gellar said. ”Although it works for some actors, I want to be home. I want to put her to bed and get up with her in the morning. I want to be there for her first day of school. And nothing offers that more than television. And what’s been so distinct getting back into it was I didn’t know how much I’d missed it.”

Gellar’s Ringer debuts on The CW on Tuesday, September 13th at 9PM.

Claire Danes return to television in Showtime‘s post-9/11 drama Homeland is promising to be a psychological thriller.

The 32 year-old actress spoke about her character, CIA Agent Carrie Anderson, at the CBS, The CW and Showtime’s TCA party Wednesday afternoon.

Wearing a beautiful pink dress with coral overlay skirt by Reed Krakoff to the press conference at The Pagoda in Beverly Hills, the Temple Grandin star said Carrie is a fascinating agent.

“I have not read a character this compelling in a movie script in quite some time,” she said. “I just gravitate to the most interesting work, and this was impossible to ignore.”

Homeland will cover the story of Agent Anderson and her suspicions of a rescued American soldier who was held captive by Al Qaeda forces for years. The returning soldier (played by Damian Lewis) was tortured and Anderson believes was turned against the U.S. and now part of a conspiracy against America.

The 13 episodes will begin airing on October 2nd, following the Showtime season premiere of Dexter.

Sarah Jessica Parker says she’s always conscious of how the public views her.

The 46 year-old actress tells Marie Claire’s September issue that she never wanted fame and does not use her celebrity status to her advantage.

“I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous,” Parker tells the magazine. “And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way. I am so desperately worried about anybody saying, ‘She cut in line’ or ‘She took our table’ or ‘She got out of jury duty’ or ‘She doesn’t do her own grocery shopping.’”

“The things that bother me are counter to who I am and the way I live,” she continues. “It’s not like it’s hard to be decent and respectful and well-behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school.”

It’s her desire to stay unaffected by celebrity trappings that keep her from publicly discussing her marriage to actor Matthew Broderick.

“We don’t talk about our marriage a lot, which is probably wise.” Parker said. “There are so many other things in our lives that take precedence over the splitting of the atom of our marriage.”

Sarah Jessica’s issue hits newsstands August 16th.

CSI is becoming another Law & Order with the amount of cast comings and goings.

The latest is Marg Helgenberger. She is leaving her role of as investigator Catherine Willows in January of 2012.

The 56 year-old actress told reporters she originally planned to leave at the end of this season but producers convinced her to come back so her character could be written out properly.

In the end, Helgenberger says she’s glad they talked her into staying around for a bit longer.

“The combination of that info and me having a hard time letting go of this show and this group of people, I said, ‘Yeah, I’m not done playing this character; I’m not done letting go of this group of people,” the actress told The Hollywood Reporter at TCA Wednesday.

Helgenberger said she missed working on stage but also allowed for the possibility of a return to the hit show in the future.

“[The odds that this is my last season] are pretty strong. Yeah, I mean, there’s chance [I'd come back]. They’ve always left the door open for me,” she said.

The arrival of Ted Danson‘s character, DB Russell, bumps Willows’ spot in the team around and that will be part of the storyline as she eventually exits.

Mulligan met the Mumford & Sons singer a long time ago – they were childhood pen pals – but they did not stay in touch. In February at a Nashville, Tennessee concert, they pair reconnected and fell in love.

“They’re a great couple,” a pal tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now). “Very sweet.”

The engagement news was originally rumored around the end of the July but now a friend of the couple has come forward to the magazine.

Mulligan split from boyfriend Shia LaBeouf in October. She is currently working on The Great Gatsby with Baz Lurhmann. Mumford and his girlfriend, musician Laura Marling, ended their relationship around the holidays in 2010.

Justin Bieber got a cheeky message across to the world when he stepped out in Los Angeles wearing a t-shirt with some crude lyrics.

The 17 year-old pop star popped up in a bright turquoise tee at the Armani Exchange store at the Sunset Plaza with the infamous phrase from Cee Lo Green‘s “F**k You” song.

Emblazoned in bright white on the front, the lyrics “F**k You and F**k her too!” were plastered (and censored) for waiting photogs.

Lots of people have speculated that he was sending a message to someone, perhaps Selena Gomez as the two were subject of a break up rumor recently even though he was at her concert in Florida with Sean Kingston.

I think he’s just a teenager wearing a shirt with lyrics of a popular song. And he’s no novice – he knew he’d get papped with it on. A little press never hurts…
