Gilles Marini

Dancing with the Stars finalist Gilles Marini may next go dancing in the sheets, with a recurring role on ABC's Brothers & Sisters.

"They're talking to me about it, and it's very close to being possible," the Frenchman tells TVGuide.com.

Marini cannot divulge much about the role he's eyeing until the deal is done — an ABC rep, in fact, maintains that he has not been cast on Brothers & Sisters — but suffice it to say that he would be ... read more

The three(!)-hour Celebrity Apprentice finale averaged 8.73 mil (on par with last week) but surged in the 10 o'clock hour to... well, you'll see what it accomplished a few seconds later in this story.

In the third-season finale, many of the Walkers find themselves having trouble communicating.

Let's find out.

Celebrity Apprentice

Amazing Race 14
8 pm/ET CBS
Former NFL cheerleaders Jaime and Cara could become the first all-female team to win the $1 million top prize if they can overcome their third-place start tonight and their perpetual problems with taxis. Front-running Tammy and Victor look to be the pair to beat, but don't count out mom-and-son duo Margie and Luke. It promises to be a nerve-racking finish, with all three teams working on the final task at the same time.

Brothers & Sisters Episode Recap: "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"

In the penultimate Season 3 episode, Brothers & Sisters took just a second to let everyone catch their breath, refocus and think (or not, in some cases) before they act. But that's not to say the episode was boring. Kitty — with the aid of some William Walker flashbacks — comes to a decision about her rocky marriage with Robert, Nora is hell-bent on finding Tommy, no matter what anyone in the family says, and Ryan's "secret" gets out, causing a huge "Walker meltdown," as Robert puts it. Plus, Sarah deals with the news that Joe is getting remarried, Kevin battles with taking sides in the Kitty-Robert struggle, and Justin has maybe the best week of his life ever. All the details lie ahead!

Family Guy

Cold Case
9 pm/ET CBS
The series, which is on the bubble for renewal, concludes its sixth season with a strong two-part episode in which Lilly investigates the 2005 murder of a local military academy's first female cadet. The victim's body is discovered in a buried foot locker, and the probe reveals that the freshman continually drew the ire of her fellow male cadets, school officials and obnoxious alumni. Music from Pearl Jam's legendary 1991 debut album, Ten, is heard exclusively on tonight's hour and next week's finale.

Every week, senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich, Mickey O'Connor and Tim Molloy satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to mega_scoop@tvguide.com.

I adored the "McFamily" scenes last week on Grey's Anatomy. What's next for Mark, Lexie, Meredith and Derek? — Kelly
MATT: For Mark and Lexie, much cuteness is on the immediate horizon. I mean, as much as Thatcher Grey makes my skin crawl (no offense, Jeff Perry!), the way things play out when he returns is better than I expected. For Mer and Der, there's the none-too-small matter of a stern ultimatum coming from the bride. As that gets sorted out, the would-be marrieds will find cause to fast-track their wedding, so get to updating that website, illing Izzie! 

So I'm guessing that Gaby will be hosting the spoiled teen diva on Desperate Housewives. They should totally get Selena Gomez to play the part! — Darcy
MICKEY: I like where your head's at, Darcy, what with the Disney/ABC corporate synergy and all. It won't be Selena, but the Housewives casting elves ... read more

Brothers & Sisters Episode Recap: "Julia"

• 25 Comments

Everyone's got something to hide in this episode of Brothers & Sisters, but before the hour winds up, most everybody's secrets are out of the bag, for better or for worse. Kitty continues her "emotional affair" with "hot park guy" Alec, but her puppy love ends up hurting her, physically and emotionally. In Tommy's absence, Julia faces foreclosure on her house, but is too afraid to tell Kevin and Nora why she can't accept their help. And weasel-y Ryan weasels his way into a job and weasel-y Holly's good graces by becoming her mole (thought I was going to say weasel didn't you?) on the Ojai board, but only tells Rebecca. All that, plus (two!) stuffed ponies, some airbag burns and even some tears lie ahead in this week's recap.

Brothers & Sisters

Amazing Race 14
8 pm/ET CBS
The race is down to its final four teams as the pairs continue to compete in China. Lakisha and Jen battled physically and verbally with Margie and Luke last week, but a bigger threat looms over them tonight when the teams are required to swim 400 meters in Beijing's Olympic-size pool. Jen's fear of water threatens to end the sisters' race and reduces Jen to tears. On a lighter note, the duos receive less-than-relaxing foot massages that are literally a scream.
