Next week, hide the couch and the drapes because Tyra Banks chews the scenery and then some when she guest stars on Gossip Girl as Ursula Nyquist, an actress who proves to be quite the handful for new publicist Serena, the patsy assigned to keep tabs on the diva at a blockbuster movie premiere.

Here's a short clip starring "the fierce one" to hold you until Monday.

...and for all of the Little 'J' fans out there (you know who you are), here's another (non-Tyra) clip for good measure.

The episode titled Dan de Fleurette also marks the coming out for new 'Gossip' girl Hilary Duff, below sporting a nifty Mets t-shirt. Yeah...I'm a Mets fan...whadaya gonna do about it?

Kayla Ewell plays Vicki Donovan on The CW’s newest hit, The Vampire Diaries.

She dropped by The PIX Morning News and spoke to Emily Frances earlier this week about her show.

PIX: Good morning and welcome to the CW family.

Kayla Ewell: Thank you.

PIX: I have a feeling that the character you play on The Vampire Diaries is very much opposite from how you are in real life.

KE: Yes, absolutely. That’s what actually attracted me to the role in the beginning. She was just so much fun and was always popping pills, doing drugs, having sex and it really was like the opposite of who I was in high school.

PIX: So you were a good girl?

Remember Nate's very rich cousin Tripp Vanderbilt? Aaron Tveit, who played Tripp returns to Gossip Girl for at least 6 episodes beginning in November.

In the storyline, Tripp decides to run for political office, while Nate takes an active role in his cousin's campaign.

Also returning to Gossip Girl is Holley Fain, who played Tripp's fiancée Maureen last season.

The jig's almost up for Naomi's uber-lying, big sister Jen (Sara Foster) on 90210!

Since letting Annie take the fall for sleeping with Liam, Jen has sat back while Naomi has transformed Annie's life into a living hell.

But the sisterly love will come crashing to an end very soon and Naomi will refocus her wrath and revenge on big sis when she is confronted with the truth and Jen's lies are finally exposed.

Let the hair-pulling begin!

“We’re about to shoot the deterioration of Jen’s façade of being such a wonderful big sister. Then they’ll finally be an opportunity for Liam and Naomi to get back together," AnnaLynne McCord recently told TV Guide.

"You might also see Naomi’s conscience come out. And I’m so excited about finally getting to work with Shenae again now that Naomi will stop hating her,” said McCord.

Jen's scheme unravels sometime around 90210's 10th episode of the season and the fireworks soon follow. Episode 10 is tentatively scheduled for November 17th. I guess Thanksgiving at the Clark home is going to be "interesting."

Want to know what the future has in store for the folks on 90210? Here are some spoilers. Look away if you don't want to know:

Adrianna has trouble juggling both Teddy and Navid.

Adrianna returns to old, bad habits to deal with pressure.

Adrianna's continued friendship with Teddy forces Navid to evaluate their relationship.

Navid looks for love in new places.

Liam has eyes for Ivy, a surfing tomboy and after a rough introduction, the two might become more than just friends.

Naomi finally learns the truth about what happened between Jen and Liam on prom night.

Naomi gets an attitude adjustment.

Dixon's house of cards relationship with Sasha continues, but his lies may be catching up with him.

Dixon and Silver will be friends again...and perhaps more.

Annie's friends and family are still in the dark about the deadly prom night hit-and-run.

Annie develops a relationship with Jasper, the nephew of the man she accidentally killed on prom night.

Jasper knows that Annie killed his uncle, but uses this information to his advantage.

So...what do you think?

Can't say who, can't say why, can't say when.

But I can say that someone big is going to die this season on Melrose Place (and I'm not not talking about Sydney -- who's already dead, but seen in flashbacks), E! Online has reported.

Apparently, this death is tied to a much bigger storyline and everyone is tight-lipped on the character that bites the dust and the circumstances surrounding his/her dispensation to the great beyond.

Who do you think it will be? Who do you want it to be?

90210's Trevor Donovan is apparently the hottest guy on TV -- or so says Life & Style Magazine (and would they lie?).

Donovan's Southern California surfer dude looks placed him at the top of the list in Life & Style Magazine's annual countdown.

"Coming into a cast that had worked together for a year was a little intimidating, but everyone's so nice. And Teddy's a really fun character," said the 31-year-old (yes, THIRTY ONE-YEAR-OLD) actor who plays golden boy Teddy Montgomery, the guy driving a wedge between Adrianna and Navid.

Also making the list, Daniel Henny of CBS' Three Rivers, Chris O' Donnell of CBS' NCIS: LA, Nick Zano of ABC's Cougar Town and Michael Rady who stars as Jonah Miller on the CW's very own Melrose Place.

After Monday night's episode of Gossip Girl, Chair (Chuck & Blair) fans may be wondering if those two crazy kids are headed for splitsville.

Well, according to the CW sources scoped out by E! Online, Chair will not be breaking up anytime soon. "They are far from over. I don't see them breaking up this season at all," said the source. In other news from the Upper East Side, rumors abound that Serena & Nate (SeNate ?!) may once again become a couple.

Meanwhile 3,000 miles west on 90210, TV Guide reports that this spring, three (count-em, three) couples will be getting back together over a span of 3 episodes. Apparently not in the plans of the reconcilees (is that even a word?) are Teddy Montgomery and Kelly Taylor.

Is it possible for The Vampire Diaries to "suck" even more than it already does. Yes (and in this case, suck is a GOOD thing!)!

The CW has announced that its newest hit, The Vampire Diaries has been picked up for a full 22-episode season (previously, only 13 episodes had been ordered).

Additionally, if you miss any episodes of The Vampire Diaries, you will have another opportunity to catch up. Beginning next Wednesday (October 28th), The CW will air encores of the previous week's episode from 9-10pm following America's Next Top Model!

Here's some scoop and pics from upcoming episodes of The Vampire Diaries:

Actor Sam Jones III who played Clark Kent's best friend Pete Ross on the first few seasons of Smallville has been arrested on drug charges and could face a maximum of 20 years behind bars in a federal prison if convicted.

Jones was arrested at his home in Canoga Park, California after a sting operation and was charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute Oxycodone. Agents nabbed Jones with 10,000 tablets of Oxycodone (AKA OxyContin). According to the DEA, Jones was the "Hollywood connection" in this drug ring.

In an undercover sting operation that spanned more than 16 months, a federal agent posing as a supplier arranged to meet Jones and co-defendant Thomas Michael Cataloni at various locations in the L.A. area to hammer out the specifics of a deal in which Jones and Cataloni would purchase $75,000 worth of Oxycodone. The federal indictment alleged that Jones and Cataloni would then distribute the drugs within the community.

The two were expected in Federal Court yesterday to answer charges.

In addition to his role on Smallville, Jones is also known for playing Mekhi Phifer's younger brother Chaz Pratt on ER and has appeared on such TV series as CSI, The Practice and NYPD Blue.

Ashley Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield have been evicted from Melrose Place.

Melrose Place Executive Producer Todd Slavkin explained the reasons for the changes.

In Ashley's case "we felt that once the murder mystery was resolved, the tone of the show was going to shift into a much more fun, romantic, sexy upbeat kind of show, and [her] character would move on...Colin was always meant to be the ultimate suspect. And his brooding alcoholic [character] tonally didn’t fit the paradigm moving into post-murder mystery Melrose Place," Slavkin told Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello in an extensive interview.

"We always knew that this murder mystery would end in episode 12. And we always knew that [Ashlee's] character of Violet would be instrumental in that as a suspect, and [Colin's character of] Auggie as well. And once that murder mystery was solved, she would go on her way. That was the original plan going into the development of the show, Slavkin said.

The two actors took the news in stride. "They’re total professionals and they took it like professionals. When you go into a show you never know what’s going to evolve and what the possibilities are. But because they knew ahead of time, it wasn’t a complete shock, said Slavkin.

So what can we expect from Melrose Place going forward?

Colin Egglesfield was told to pack his bags and move out of Melrose Place yesterday.

In spite of Executive Producer Todd Slavkin's claim that his dismissal from the show wasn't a "complete shock," Egglesfield who plays Auggie Kirkpatrick on the nighttime soap was a little surprised and very disappointed at being let go.

Egglesfield who had a multi-year contract and was scheduled to recur in 10 of this season's first 13 episodes told E! Online that he got the bad news from Slavkin and Darren Swimmer, another Melrose producer.

"They were really saddened, and you could tell it was difficult for them to break this news to me. They said it was a network decision, and they said the network thought Auggie was a little too dark, with his alcoholism. They felt like in the landscape of Melrose they wanted to change the tone of the show. So that's the explanation that they gave me. They said that it wasn't anything against me or my talent or anything. There was never any discussion that they weren't sure what they were going to do with me or my character.

But Egglesfield (whose character is NOT being killed off -- "The way in which I'm leaving the show, I'm not being killed off, I'm just leaving. It keeps the door open for, potentially, my character to come back, but who knows?") was careful not to burn any bridges and offered praise to the execs that gave him the boot.

"Todd and Darren are great, I love those guys and they've always been straightforward and straight shooters and just great people to work with. I respect the decision that they had to make creatively to do what they need to do, I'm just frustrated that I'm not going to be a part of the show, because it was such a great job and a fun place to go to work every day," said Egglesfield.

Nick Zano (who's wrapping up a stint as Courteney Cox' young boyfriend on Cougar Town) is reportedly in the running to join Melrose Place as a new resident at the hospital where Lauren and Michael work.

Heather Locklear's storyline involves some sort of mystery involving Sydney -- so Laura Leighton "may be staying on in some form," according to Jessica Lucas who plays Riley on the show.

America's Next Top Model:

Tyra Banks chooses America's Next Top Model in the Cycle 13 finale scheduled to air on November 18th.

Eddie Murphy will be in the audience for the final runway show on the season finale of Top Model!

A series regular of the female persuasion will bite the dust.

Supernatural:

Sam & Dean switch bodies in episode 12 (which will air in late December or early January).

Smallville:

Phil Morris will return to the show as a Martian Manhunter in a 2-part episode titled "Society," scheduled to air early in the new year. The episode was written by D.C. Comics writer Geoff Johns (best known for his work on The Flash and The Green Lantern). This Justice Society themed episode introduces such characters as Hawkman, Doctor Fate and Stargirl.

Clark and Chloe's friendship will be rebuilt.

Leighton Meester's new single, Somebody To Love (w/Robin Thicke) will be featured in the November 9th episode of Gossip Girl. If you haven't heard it yet, listen below and also have a look at some stills taken from her soon to be released sexy music video for the steamy song!

Remember a few weeks ago when 90210 introduced Rumer Willis as Gia, a student at West Beverly who also happens to be gay? Well...she's returning in a big way! In January, Gia will romance Adrianna (played by Jessica Lowndes) as the show kicks off a same-sex story arc, reports Entertainment Weekly.

“This isn’t a fling,” says executive producer Rebecca Sinclair. “We’re coming at this [relationship] from a genuine place and not going, ‘Let’s do a titillating story that will grab some promotion.’ This is a real aspect of teenager life that’s interesting… And there’s been a real void in the 90210 universe in terms of gay and bisexual characters.”

Uhhh...works for me!

Here's a first look at Heather Locklear on Melrose Place in a new promo for the show's November 17th Amanda debut!
