– What did you think of this weekend's Saturday Night Live with Emma Stone and Coldplay? My highlights include Emma asking Andy Samberg why they were repeating the same banter that went on with Kirsten Dunst ten years ago, and he in turn asked her why they were remaking Spider-Man after ten years (it also featured a cameo by Andrew Garfield). I also loved Emma's bumper shots, especially the one where she dressed up as Gilda Radner (who Emma called her "original hero" back in a 2010 edition of People magazine). My favourite skit was "Les Jeunes de Paris." (I apologize if the clip gets removed!)

– Weeds will be back for the eighth season. Production on the 13 new episodes will go into production in 2012.
– We finally got to see Merle and Daryl interact in last night's episode (although it was a hallucination), but The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has told Entertainment Weekly that he hopes to have Merle back on the show at some point soon.
– Supernatural's Misha Collins (Castiel) will appear on Ringer as Dylan — a character from Bridget and Siobhan's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) past. He'll first appear in episode 14, which is scheduled to air in early 2012.
– Brody Hutzler (ex-Patrick, DAYS) is also set to appear on Ringer as the husband of Madchen Amick's socialite character. Hutzler and Amick both show up in episode 11.
– John Barrowman isn't quite sure if Torchwood will be back for another season. He tells RTE Ten, that the show is "in limbo."

– Last night on Family Guy, Stewie and Brian travelled back in time (to the pilot) and ended up stopping 9/11 from happening and then had to travel back in time again to allow it to happen due to the butterfly-effect consequences it unravelled: civil war, George W. Bush as the leader of the confederacy). Do you think it went too far? Imagine if Stewie and Brian woke up series creator, Seth MacFarlane, so that he didn't miss Flight 11? While the 9/11 issue is the hot topic of the day, my highlight was when they went five years into the future and the show was in CGI. If you missed the episode, you can catch it on GlobalTV.com.
– My picks for tonight:
On Gossip Girl (8 p.m. on The CW and MuchMusic): Diana (Elizabeth Hurley) sets her sights on Serena (Blake Lively) in her quest to ruin Gossip Girl. Dan (Penn Badgley) is out on his book tour while most of the Upper East Siders attend a performance of Punchdrunk's provocative theatre experience, "Sleep No More," which translates to masks, anonymity and some surprising romantic twists.
On How I Met Your Mother (8 p.m. on CBS): Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) find themselves in an uncomfortable situation when they hide a secret from their significant others. Meanwhile, Marshall (Jason Segal), Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and Ted (Josh Radnor) attend a concert.
On 2 Broke Girls (8:30 p.m. on CBS): Johnny's (Nick Zano) girlfriend (Kelly Beckett) has a devious plan in mind when she hires Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs) to bake cupcakes for her art show featuring his work.
Over in late night: Jason Segel is on Letterman; Amy Adams is on Leno; Sarah Michelle Gellar and Miss Piggy are on Kimmel; Ron Howard is on Fallon; Kirsten Dunst is on Chelsea. For more late night listings, click here.
