Laz Alonso
Even though he's still grieving for recently murdered Detective Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro), Southland's Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy) will soon be assigned a new partner. And as TVGuide.com has learned exclusively, fans of the show will most definitely recognize Sammy's new wingman.

It's odd to think that the cast of a show entering its third season has never shot more than six episodes at a time, but that's the case for TNT's Southland.
The gritty police drama debuted as a midseason replacement on NBC in 2009 and earned a 13-episode renewal for Season 2. Then, NBC canceled the show before it even premiered, allowing TNT to buy and air the six episodes NBC had in the can in early 2010.

Embrace your inner lizard. V is back for a second season tonight on ABC (9/8c), with a red tint in the air and an ominous shower of red rain (the episode's title) falling on the embattled earthlings, although on my screener, everything looked orange. The color of cheese.

Whether it's the son Betty Applewhite locked in the basement or Angie Bolen's explosive real past, mystery has always played an important role on Desperate Housewives.
As the latest question mark on the ABC prime-time soap, Paul Young's new wife, Beth, has been equally hard to decipher — even for the actress playing her.
"I was on a date last night and the guy asked me to describe my character, and it was really...

Desperate Housewives
On the dusty expanse of suburbia that is Wisteria Lane, Vanessa Williams is ready to duel at 40 paces.
Desperate Housewives has always relied on a fun, trouble-making foil to shake up the staid suburban lives of the women of Wisteria Lane — think Edie, Mrs. Huber, Karl, may they all rest in peace. This season, ABC has employed a Wild West theme to announce the arrival of Renee Perry (Williams), who'll try on a (very chic) black hat. Executive producer Bob Daily introduces us to Renee, and tells us what all the other ladies — and at least one familiar gentleman — will deal with this season.

Emily Bergl and Derek Richardson by Sergei Bachlakov/ABC
Searching for true love? Forget Paris. Hop a plane to Elmo, Alaska Squamish, British Columbia and ask for directions to the Men in Trees set.Emily Bergl and Derek Richardson — who play adorable (and in-love) misfits Annie and Patrick on ABC's criminally neglected romantic dramedy — have become the latest Trees couple to find love off screen, multiple sources confirm to me exclusively. "They started dating last year," whispers a Trees insider. "They’re happy and in love." This is the second instance of life imitating art on Tree's tucked-away Canadian set. During the show's first season, a then-spoken-for Anne Heche fell for her married leading man, James Tupper. The pair have since left their respective spouses and remain very much an item. I don’t know about you guys, but there's something about all of these Trees duos coupling up in real life that warms my cold heart. Now, if only ABC would show MIT half as much love as the actors have shown each other, maybe ...
