First Look: Katie Holmes On ‘How I Met Your Mother’

Katie Holmes and Josh Radnor

Katie Holmes is set to guest star on How I Met Your Mother‘s Halloween episode!   Having Katie on the show is fun, even if it is a bit of stunt casting, but what’s even better is that she plays a character that many fans never thought they’d get to see.  Katie will portray the Slutty Pumpkin, a girl that Ted (Josh Radnor) met at a Halloween party years ago.  He’s attended the same party year after year, wearing the same costume, hoping to run into her again.  This is apparently his lucky year.

How did the show’s creator, Craig Thomas, decide to cast Katie as the near-mythological Slutty Pumpkin?  He said:

“Katie is a lovely and talented actress, which is why we’ve saved for her perhaps the most classily named character in our show’s history.”

Will Slutty Pumpkin turn out to be The Mother we’ve all been waiting six seasons to meet?  You’ll have to tune in on October 31 to find out.

Take A First Look At ‘The Bachelor’ Ben Flajnik

Ben Flajnik

The new season of The Bachelor is coming up, and ABC wants to make sure you’re good and ready to drool by the time the season premiere airs in January. They’ve released the first promo photo of their new piece of meat, Benjamin Flajnik.

Ben is not so new to many viewers, actually. He proposed to, and was rejected by, Ashley Hebert, on the last season of The Bachelorette.  The network says that he’s put all that heartbreak behind him and is ready to “move on with his life, his phenomenal success as a businessman and his search for the right woman to be his wife and to start a family with.”

Ms. Right will be a lucky girl indeed:  Ben is a winemaker in beautiful Sonoma County, California.  His winery, Evolve Winery, produces a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc from organic, sustainably grown grapes.  He’s not a bad looking guy, either.  There are definitely worse gigs out there.  Definitely.

What do you think about Ben’s chances this time?  Will he find love?  Would you accept his rose and proposal?  Drop a comment and tell us!

Roseanne Barr Lands New TV Show ‘Downwardly Mobile’ At NBC

Roseanne Barr may join Tim Allen as another 90s sitcom star headed back to TV.

The actress and comedienne’s new concept Downwardly Mobile, has been sold for a script commitment with a penalty attached (if the pilot isn’t made.)

This time, Barr is headed to NBC – the network that passed on her successful show, Roseanne, which ruled the ratings throughout most of the 90s.

Barr’s new sitcom finds her with her family and friends in another blue-collar situation – a mobile home community – that may resonant with viewers in these sketchy financial times.

Of her original show, Barr wrote a NY Magazine piece:

“[...]I wanted to do a realistic show about a strong mother who was not a victim of Patriarchal Consumerist Bullshit—in other words, the persona I had carefully crafted over eight previous years in dive clubs and biker bars: a fierce working-class Domestic Goddess. It was 1987, and it seemed people were primed and ready to watch a sitcom that didn’t have anything like the rosy glow of middle-class confidence and comfort, and didn’t try to fake it. ABC seemed to agree. They picked up Roseanne in 1988.”

Barr, 58, and her boyfriend Johnny Argent created the show along with Roseanne show executive producer Eric Gilliland who will be showrunner.

Tim Allen Returns To TV Tonight With ‘Last Man Standing’

For anyone who has missed Home Improvement and more specifically, Tim Allen – tonight marks his return to television.

Allen and Nancy Travis will star as husband and wife in Last Man Standing at 8pm on ABC with the 58 year-old actor as the father of three daughters (sorry, no Johnathan Taylor Thomas here) instead of boys this time around.

Allen’s Mike Baxter is a guy’s guy who loves the outdoors, doesn’t like the way the world around him is changing, gets advice from an older dude and pokes fun at a more modern guy he works with. Hmmm Home Improvement 2.0?

After years traveling and photographing natural locales for the Outdoor Man catalog, Baxter’s boss (Hector Elizondo) shutters the print edition and wants Mike back in Colorado at the store to work on and attract younger guys to their sporting goods website.

Now he has to deal with his daughters – his eldest is a single mom who just moved back in to the family home and two teenage girls – and a wife who landed a promotion and needs some help with the girls and the house.

The new premise might be familiar but the show is getting a lot of positive buzz for the premiere tonight.

Are you ready to watch Allen again? Or are you holding on to H.I. memories as long as you can?
