Brian Austin Green, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Trying to save the world is a dirty job, but Brian Austin Green is up to it. He talks about his Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles costars, his famously sexy fiancée and dealing with his 90210 past — just don't call him David Silver. (Sarah Connor premieres Monday, September 8 at 8 pm/ET, Fox).
TV Guide: It's been a while since the first season aired. Can you remind us about your character, Derek Reese, the man from the future who's now working with Sarah (Lena Headey) and John Connor (Thomas Dekker)?
Brian Austin Green: Derek is very simple, very programmed. He's much like [Terminator] Cameron [Summer Glau], trying to learn how to be human, because he was forced to lose that. He lost everybody — friends — constantly. And he was just at odds and at war with everyone.

Paulina Porizkova, America's Next Top Model
Paulina Porizkova, the newest judge on America's Next Top Model (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET, CW), sounds off on her hidden talent, beauty secrets and picture-perfect marriage.
TV Guide: Were you a fan of America's Next Top Model before joining the show?
Paulina Porizkova: I watched the marathons on VH1 or MTV. Last season I became enamored of Heather, the girl with Asperger's syndrome. Once she was voted off, I didn't watch anymore.
TV Guide: Do you think you would have been a good Top Model contestant?
Porizkova: At 18, I would have been voted off the show because of my attitude. I'd have been up there going, "Yeah, I don't care about this show, and I don't care about modeling." And they would have said, "Bye-bye."
TV Guide: How are you different from the show'

Alex O’Loughlin, Moonlight
Meet Alex O'Loughlin, the vampire who's getting hearts pumping on Moonlight (Fridays, 9 pm/ET, CBS).
O'Loughlin loves the rush he gets from doing his own stunts. "I really feel like I'm participating in life when I'm strapped into a harness and hanging precariously above the ground," says the 31-year-old Australian actor (whose last name is pronounced "O-lock-lin"). As Moonlight's crime-fighting vampire/private detective Mick St. John, he gets plenty of chances to revel in those daredevil moments. His character often leaps from rooftops and catwalks in pursuit of both mortal and immortal lawbreakers.
On a fall afternoon on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, however, the actor finds himself earthbound, shooting an indoor scene where Mick is pondering the ongoing plot about whether or not the evil ex he killed is still ali

Michael Urie, Ugly Betty
His Texas roots and career beginnings as a broke thespian in New York have molded Michael Urie, the deliciously devious assistant Marc St. James on Ugly Betty (Thursdays, 8 pm/ET on ABC), into a down-to-earth guy off stage. TV Guide caught up with the actor as he adjusts to fame and fortune — by modestly, and finally, upgrading his pullout couch.
TV Guide: What do you and your character, Marc St. James, have in common?
Michael Urie: I love my job and he loves his job. But I'm not fashionable or mean. Marc and Amanda are pretty much Michael and Becki [Newton] — we're goofy like that.
TV Guide: In real life, you two are inseparable BFFs, right?
Michael: [Nods] We were meant to be friends, and we were k

Tyra Banks
In a candid TV Guide interview, Tyra Banks talks about Wednesday night's wild finale of America's Next Top Model, braving the dating game and the prospect of adoption.
TV Guide: Can you give us any hints about the season finale of America's Next Top Model (airing Wednesday at 8 pm/ET, on the CW)?
Tyra Banks: For the fashion show, we decided to do "the evolution of woman." She starts off as slightly primitive, then she evolves into this kickass, power woman. The Sydney Opera House is the backdrop.
TV Guide: This season Cassandra got frostbite on a shoot, and Natasha was badly burned by a curling iron. Do you have any modeling injuries?
Banks: I have scars on the backs of my arms from dressers in Paris scraping me with pins as I was taking a shirt or gown off. Th

America Ferrera and Eric Mabius, Ugly Betty
Are Betty and Henry ever going to get together?
Have faith! "It all comes to a head by the finale [May 17]," says Christopher Gorham, who plays Henry. "By the end, there will be some resolution between Henry and [girlfriend] Charlie and a new complication with the love triangle. Henry really steps up for Betty — and pays the price. The thing is," he adds, "Henry and Betty needed to break up. By taking herself out of the picture, Betty made him realize how great she is. They are going to move toward being together."
Hope this isn't rude, but we really want to know: Is Betty still a virgin?
"Uh… no," says the show's executive producer Silvio Horta. The only guy she's ever been with is Walter, a fact alluded to in the episode called "The Lyin', the Watch and the Wardrobe."
Are we ever going to find

Becki Newton, Ugly Betty
Ugly Betty's scene-stealing bad girl Becki Newton talks to TV Guide about shaking her booty, stalking Tim Gunn and finding love. (ABC's Ugly Betty airs Thursdays at 8 pm/ET.)
TV Guide: How do you get in touch with your inner vixen to play Amanda?
Becki Newton: I think of the girls I used to meet at New York City auditions. Girls have a great way of sizing each other up with a look that can debilitate everyone. I was usually the victim of that. I've always been more the Betty than the Amanda. But after years of studying those girls, I've learned how to channel it.
TV Guide: You felt like Betty?
Newton: Always. I think everyone does. The Amandas of the world are covering up a lot of pain by trying to be the one who makes other

Elizabeth Reaser, Grey's Anatomy
It's Sunday, and on a stylish strip of Hollywood's Melrose Avenue, Elizabeth Reaser has her choice of two popular coffeeshops — one that's packed with self-consciously hip Nicole Richie look-alikes, the other with a more serious sweats-and-Sunday-paper crowd. She makes a beeline for the latter. "It's such a scene at that other place," she says, pouring soy milk into her coffee.
This preference for depth over superficiality makes the Michigan native a natural for a scene-stealing role that has nothing to do with her good looks: a nine-episode stint on ABC's Grey's Anatomy (Thursdays at 9 pm/ET) as Jane Doe, the pregnant ferry-crash victim with severe facial injuries.
"Elizabeth can communicate so much with her voice and eyes — she has incre

Christopher Gorham, Ugly Betty
It's something fans of ABC's Ugly Betty (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET) just know: Betty must end up with Henry. Why? "They're like-minded," says Christopher Gorham, who plays "Mode" magazine's sweet-as-pie accountant. "They're both comfortable with being smart, and they're not overly concerned with appearances in themselves or other people."
Since Betty finally broke up with Walter — and Gorham recently signed on as a regular for next season — fans may get their wish. And if that means waiting for Henry's girlfriend, Charlie, to hit the road, Gorham won't mind. He's enjoying every minute on set. "We joke around a lot," he says. "We were doing Borat impersonations for a while. We tell each other how horrible we were in the last scene all the time."
Off set, Gorham possesses the three things most val

California girl Sara is TVGuide.com's early pick to win Top Model.
Another round of strutting, pouting, posing — and spatting — is upon us now that UPN's America's Next Top Model (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET) has returned for a sixth cycle. "What I love about this new group is that no one looks like anyone else," says host Tyra Banks. "They're all so different, and they all photograph strikingly." While Southern-fried Kathy has already been sent home, here's why each of the remaining hopefuls thinks she has what it takes to be a runway success.
