Miss Guided by Michael Ansell/ABC
Ashton is at it again producing another series to add to his roster—only this time, instead of reality, he’s taking on the scripted world with the new series Miss Guided which premieres tonight. Judy Greer stars as a former geek who returns to her high school as the new guidance counselor. And Ashton guest stars on Thursday’s (its official time slot) episode. No, he's not playing a student (though we wouldn’t put it past him to try to pull that off), but as the hot substitute Spanish teacher.Watch it now! | More online videosYour take: Think this show has potential or is it doomed to flop?

Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern by Carlos Antonio Rios/Houston Chronicle/WireImage.com
Did Ashton Kutcher steal the idea for Pop Fiction from Anna Nicole Smith? That's what Smith lawyer/lover Howard K. Stern is alleging, saying that he and Smith pitched a similar idea to E! execs in 2004. According to Stern, Kutcher's show (in which celebs stage fake photo-ops to trick the press) is nearly a carbon copy of Celebrities Strike Back, Stern and Smith's treatment (TMZ has the WGA-registered documents).Stern even says that as recently as two months ago there was talk of Paternity Sweepstakes Winner Larry Birkhead being the subject of the first prank, and then hosting the show. In response, E! issued this statement: "Pop Fiction is a program independently created and developed by Ashton Kutcher's company, Katalyst. Pop Fiction is not based on any idea or concept that may have been pitched to E! by any other party."Kutcher's Pop Fiction debuted on Sunday with (fake) stories about Paris Hilton and her "guru" and Avril Lavigne and her "baby bump." It's a great idea for a show, ...

Jamie Lynn Spears may be getting ready for a new arrival and taking the SATs, but she isn't stepping out of TV entirely. The former Zoey 101 star will be guesting on the second ep of ABC's Miss/Guided, March 20 (8 pm/ET), following its premiere March 18.The new comedy centers on Becky Freeley (Judy Greer), a former uber-awkward teen who's now returning to her alma mater as the school's guidance counselor. In the first episode, Spears will play, appropriately, a student who's gotten good news from a college, but may toss it all aside if it affects her romantic life — which, we all know, can be pretty intense in high school.Judging by this exclusive first photo of JLS' tarted-up character, that romantic life seems to be going well! But man, why does she look so familiar in such an outfit and getting out of the car like that...? Also guesting in the eppy is Ashton Kutcher, playing a substitute Spanish teacher, aka a guapo love interest for Becky. — Anna DimondRelated:• J...

TV-moguls-in-the-making Ashton Kutcher and Tyra Banks are collaborating on a top-secret reality show. And ABC is buying.

Living in a house together? From the beautiful minds — and bodies — that brought you Beauty and the Geek and America's Next Top Model? Sounds like a no-brainer. — Mickey O'Connor

Even wedding dress shopping can't keep their minds off Justin. Brothers & Sisters by Michael Desmond/ABC
Episode Recap Home FrontAs Brothers and Sisters jumps into its second season its nice to see that the neurotic and argumentative Walkers are still just that The little quirks that made us love them last year are all back in full force They talk over one another pick at each other hold mini-grudges against each other get drunk together and they worry about each other Tonight it was the worrying that was at the crux of the show Justin still on active duty in Iraq has not been in touch for 21 days Is he okay Is he injured or worse Starting the show off with Nora recording a video message to her son was an effective way of catching us up with the family and keeping Justins off-screen character as much a part of the show as the rest of the family One of my favorite moments was just after Nora signed off and her game face immediately reverted back to the mask of concern that we know shes been wearing since that tearful airport good-bye in last seasons finale T
