Transformers and 300
So you have a list of people to buy for and no idea what to get them, right? Been there, suffered through that. And children, I can only offer you two options: piss off a bunch of friends over Thanksgiving so you don't have to get them anything, or head to the DVD section. Because nothing says "I put more thought into this than you deserve" than a movie starring some of their fave TV faces. And they're so easy to wrap!

Ryan Eggold, 90210
If all teachers were as cool as West Beverly's Ryan Matthews, we'd all be signing up for extra credit. Thankfully, the man behind the scruffy sarcasm, Ryan Eggold, makes the grade as well. Here, the 90210 star tells which student is going to be crushing on him and why he'd love to be in a bar fight.
TV Guide: Tell me about Ryan…
Ryan Eggold: Well, I'm a Scorpio…
TV Guide: The character!
Eggold: Oh yeah…. He's a young literature teacher, just out of college, so he's got a lot of spunk, you know? He's a bit rebellious, rambunctious…puckish is the word I'm gonna use from now on. [Laughs]
TV Guide: He's gonna be a pain in the ass for Harry.
Eggold: Oh yeah, he is. They're gonna butt heads.
TV Guide: But overall, a good guy?
Eggold: You k

Bill Maher
Just in time for the election, Emmy-nominated firebrand Bill Maher is back with 13 new weekly attacks on the right, left and everything in between on Real Time with Bill Maher. God bless America.
TV Guide: Are you bummed you're premiering after the Olympics and the whole John Edwards scandal?
Bill Maher: Who knows what's next…it could be even better. [Laughs]
TV Guide: Do you have an election-day ritual? Do you start drinking early?
Maher: [Laughs] Depends on who's winning!
What are your thoughts on the media coverage of the campaigns?
Maher: I'm amused when pundits say that McCain has to pick a running mate who's younger than he is. You think? Who's older?!
TV Guide: Your new documentary Religulous sounds like something all faiths can hate.

Jeff Lewis, Flipping Out
With the housing market such a mess, we hit up neat-freak real-estate guru Jeff Lewis of Flipping Out (Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, Bravo) for his top tips on how to sell your home without, well, flipping out.
1. "Pricing is everything. [List] your home 5 percent below the most recent comparable sale."
2. "Always make your house available for showings and open houses. Don't give a buyer a reason to buy the house next door."
3. "Keep your house clean and orderly while on the market. Keep your yard and lawn maintained and manicured."
4. "Respond to all offers, no matter how low. Buyers will lowball just to see how motivated you are. Don't take it personally."
5. "Since 25 to 33 percent of buyers cancel escrow, do whatever you have to do to keep your buyer happy. This may include giving a credit, doing repairs or paying a portion of your buyer's closing costs."
