No doubt Monday nights will be my favorite TV night of the week. Why? Just read below and piece together the clues.

8-9 PM EDT

Chuck: A nerdy secret agent (in the form of a computer geek salesman) going undercover in a screwball comedy that elicits memories of SledgeHammer? I’m in…

How I Met Your Mother: If you can get thru another season of buying Neil Patrick Harris as a misogynist heterosexual player, why not?

Dancing With The Stars: Marie Osmond, Wayne Newton, Mark Cuban, Mel B, and Kelly from 90210 all in one action-packed, self-effacing hour? Ok, make that two hours a week, but hey, it’s a guaranteed upgrade for most of these celebs.

9-10 PM EDT

Heroes: “It” girl Veronica Mars aka Kristen Bell joins the cast this season and for those of us who caught a glimpse of Bell (on Gossip Girl), earlier on this season, it might be a welcome cast. Someone’s gotta save the world, anyways, and it aint gonna be the cheerleader.

10-11 PM EDT

Weeds: It may have started a few weeks ago already, but Mary-Kate Olsen plays a bad girl/dope-addicted nympho in this episode and hey, why should you limit your Monday nights to one reality TV show?

Journeyman: Cause if I had TiVo, I’d be all over this Quantum Leapish show. As is I’ll be flipping coins with my husband for the coveted 10:30 slot, which may end up going to Californication.

Wait. Did I or did I not use “freestyle” correctly here? Eh. Who cares. Just watch the video, k.

MR_16539pcn_Posh05.jpgMR_16539pcn_Posh04.jpgVictoria Beckham didn’t waste any time capitalizing on her hubby’s deal with the LA Galaxy to further catapult her career as a professional celebrity. Her Monday night special, Coming To America, testified to that. And although the special picked up decent enough ratings for the silicone-breasted bronzed kewpie doll to get a repeat performance tonight on NBC, the show didn’t manage to do much in the way of swaying American populace opinion of the star. In other words as a publicity agent, the show failed miserably in that people still consider her to be a self-involved bitch. On the flipside, execs at NBC were so impressed with her that they decided that not only will they re-air the special tonight, but have her host the whole Thursday night line-up on NBC. To include extra Beckham footage, NBC hauled ass back to the Beckhams and managed to secure some interstitials in time for tonight. Victoria was said to be most obliging. GO figure!

Posh Spice Is Coming To America Tonight

b9.preview_0.jpgPosh Spice aka Victoria Beckham aka the LA transplant that’s done the most to project a 180 image of herself (blond hair, shiny face, and flashing a 24-7 non-English bed of white, perfectly straightened teeth) is starring in her own made-for-NBC special tonight airing tonight at 8 PM.

The special, “Victoria Beckham: Coming To America” features the former Spice Girl’s move from Europe to LA and all the subsequent adapting that she has to endure. Like having to find a McMansion suitable enough for herself, getting her stylist to gloss her lips pre-Driver’s License photo shoot, and working overtime to convince us all that’s she really just a “low-key mum and a lot more boring than most.” The latter is credible, the former, hardly. After all, rumor has it if the special does well (and we’re talking most likely as high in the ratings as the “Harry & Andrew Interview W/ Matt Lauer”), Posh will start doing more regular work for the network.

Well, duh. Like we didn’t know there was some sort of promotional angle to tonight’s special… Anyways, the trailer seen here is a funny one. What happens when the queen of mean (Perez Hilton) meets his arch-rival celebrity whore? Paparazzi of course! What did you expect with Posh running off insulting the very namesake of her special? Sure, Eddie’s a dawg, but chopping off [his] dick and spitting in his food ain’t exactly very ladylike behaviour.
