TV Squad

There's no other show on TV more perfect for musicians to guest star on than 'Glee' -- but it isn't the only show our favorite artists are angling to snag a cameo on. Some make sense, like Britney on 'Glee,' but others are just flat out bonkers -- like Boy George on 'The A-Team' or, more recently, rapper Kid Cudi appearing on The CW's yes-it's-still-on 'One Tree Hill.'

There have been a lot of head-scratchers over the years. It's crazy and oddly amusing at the same time, so check out our list of the most bizarre musician TV cameos after the jump.

Here's tonight's lineup of new shows and events (all times Eastern). Check your local TV listings for additional information.

The Sunday primetime lineup after the jump.

You guys! It's December 25 -- a day of presents, eating, and family feuds togetherness. But in case you've already imbibed on a few too many eggnogs, the cast of 'Beverly Hills, 90210' is here to remind you what day it is.

That's right, thanks to the wonders of the Internet we now have two full minutes of every "Christmas" ever uttered on the show, ever -- or at least in the first few seasons.

Watch below, then ask yourself -- what day is it again?

What was 'Glee' star Lea Michele like back in 1998? Well, a lot like her character, Rachel Berry. Twelve years ago a pair of filmmakers made a documentary about kids in the entertainment business. Back then, Michele was starring in Broadway plays. A portion of the documentary hit YouTube and it's adorable.

Michele, who at the time was well known in theater circles for her role in Broadway's 'Les Miserables,' talked about surviving the "really tough dog-eat-dog business" of Broadway.

"Being in the business has kind of made me grow up so fast," said little Michele. "Everyone says 'You're so mature' ... I can do anything! And that's how I, you know, stay sane."

'The Bold and the Beautiful'
Bill threw a party to present Liam as his heir. Amber pounced on a drunken Liam and the morning after, let him believe they'd done the deed. Stephanie bought Insomnia from C.J. and offered it to Dayzee to run. Brooke returned to Skid Row looking for Anthony. Stephanie and Dayzee agreed to hire the homeless at the coffee house. The Forresters had Christmas with the homeless at Dayzee's.

For 52 years, Yogi Bear has been a staple of television's animated universe. With intelligence higher than that of the average bear, a trusty compatriot named Boo-Boo and an addiction to pick-a-nick baskets, the confident Yogi has been a favorite of kids, their parents and their grandparents for generations.

With the release of the 'Yogi Bear' movie on Dec.17, a new generation of viewers were introduced to the character, now animated in glorious CGI. For those not familiar with Yogi, Jellystone Park or Ranger Smith, here is a primer for you.

['The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'- 'Payback's a Bitch...Just Ask Your Husband']

On this week's episode of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' the ladies attempted to recover from Camille's disastrous dinner party with a handful of lunch dates, some good old fashioned trash talking and a roaring twenties soiree.

Everyone reacts to conflict differently. Some, like Adrienne, rise above it. Others, like Kim, suffer from PTSD. And yet there's always that one wily woman who needs it to feed her soul. That woman, of course, is Camille.

The brick oven pizza crumbs had barely settled before Camille shot Kyle a text, which a lesser 'Housewives' fan might describe as the final nail in the friendship coffin.

Seeing as Kathy Griffin was unceremoniously fired from hosting CNN's New Year's Eve show with Anderson Cooper after last year's F-Bomb drop, it's a wee bit surprising that she's back at the gig for this year's countdown. The flame-haired comedienne dished to us about working with "the world's Anderson Cooper," why she hopes Miley Cyrus has started a salvia trend and, yes, her nemesis Bristol Palin.

Weren't you fired from CNN's New Year's show?
Yes, I was fired. They issued a statement. I was banned from CNN, and then as Anderson Cooper says, 'There was a change in management,' which was great because the guy who fired me got fired. So being the cockroach that I am, I'm just going to outlast everybody. That's my career philosophy; it's not a very deep one. I basically have the survivor moniker in my life, which is "outlast, outwit, outplay," that's what I've done with the management at CNN.

By 2011, 79-year-old Regis Philbin will have been a fixture in entertainment for 50 years. In all that time, he hasn't lost a bit of his wit and charm. But much like one of your favorite grandparents, he's grown adorably out of touch with the Internet and younger generation of celebrities. While Regis may not always succeed in being hip, it's really fun to watch him try. Check out some of Philbin's most endearing generation gap moments on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' and help us pick his best "old man" moment of the year.

'Psych' just did it: the holiday episode that plays off the now classic 1946 Christmas movie 'It's a Wonderful Life.' It's become a holiday staple for sitcoms, but as our countdown of 11 'Wonderful' spoofs shows, it's not just for sitcoms ... and it's not always just for the holidays, either.

As this season unwinds, it seems 'Top Chef All Stars' is getting more difficult to predict. The episode last night was as tight as a U.S. Open tennis match, which was apt considering that the chefs were asked to create hearty and healthy dishes at the Queens tennis center and serve them to the judges right on center court.

Give credit to the Magical Elves production team for the creative competition, pitting the two teams of chefs (picked at random) in a game of culinary tennis. The members of the team that failed to score a point wound up the losers.

Since we've already aired our grievances (with the help of Gillian Jacobs and Nick Offerman), we've got one component of Festivus yet to fulfill: the Feats of Strength. It's a little hard to wrestle over the internet, so instead we're going to do it the easy way -- by watching other people do it.

Below, enjoy a clip of a professional strong man performing feats of strength during an episode of 'America's Got Talent.' Hopefully it'll inspire you to do some heavy lifting at home -- or at least start crying and then tackle your dad.

So, as the the esteemed Frank Costanza might say, "Stop crying and fight your father."

Happy Festivus, everyone! If you're a television fan, you know that December 23 is the day where we gather 'round the aluminum pole, air our grievances, and perform the feats of strength. Thanks to the writers at 'Seinfeld,' Festivus has become a funny tradition for people who are either sick of the holiday folderol or just like the vision of George and Frank Costanza wrestling each other in a living room in Queens.

As has been our tradition, we at TV Squad have been celebrating Festivus for a few weeks now, culminating in the end of our 12 Days of Festivus, where we celebrated the fact that 2010 is the year of New Jersey.

One of the biggest criticisms from opponents of MTV's docu-series '16 and Pregnant,' which follows high school-age girls as they prepare to become mothers, is that it glamorizes teen pregnancy. But according to a new theory from the Christian Science Monitor, the show is actually doing the exact opposite.

A new report from the National Campaign notes that although teens view parental influence as the number one factor in preventing teen pregnancy, an astonishing 82 percent say '16 and Pregnant' "helps them better understand the challenges of teen pregnancy and parenthood -- and why they should avoid it."

"Entertainment media is one of the nation's favorite punching bags, but we have to acknowledge that when we're talking about teen pregnancies media can be and often is a force for good," said Bill Albert, a spokesman for the National Campaign.
