Tiffani Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselaar attended the 2011 Kiehl’s LifeRide for amfAR finale in New York City on Saturday, here’s a pic! (There’s more SBTB goodness at the end of this post)

— The only thing that this upcoming season of Desperate Housewives has got going for it is that it’ll be the show’s last. I’m hoping the show can go out on top (like the early seasons).

— We’ve got a list of all the fall premiere dates.

Autumn Reeser will appear on Hawaii Five-O as a love interest for Scott Caan‘s Danny. Over at Glee, don’t feel too sorry for Mercedes now that Sam (Chord Overstreet) is out, she’ll be spending time with  LaMarcus Tinker. Most of you will be familiar with Tinker since he’s appeared on both Friday Night Lights (as Dallas) and Cougar Town, as Travis’ roommate. 

Lost‘s Jeff Fahey and Smallville‘s Justin Hartley (okay, okay…Passions‘ Fox Crane) will guest star as brothers on Chuck.

— CBS has ordered a Bewitched remake script from Sony Pictures.

What I Like About You‘s Nick Zano will recur on 2 Broke Girls as a waiter/artist who will serve as a love interest for Kat Dennings‘ character.

Jake McDorman, who guest starred in the Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea pilot, has been upped to series regular.

— We probably won’t see much (if at all) of Eric Van Der Woodsen this season on Gossip Girl as Connor Paolo will be starring on ABC’s Revenge. Eric will be headed to Sarah Lawrence for college.

The Young and the RestlessMichelle Stafford (Phyllis) is set to guest star on Ringer, while Michael Graziadei (Daniel) has booked a recurring role on FX’s American Horror Story, playing the young boyfriend of Jessica Lange‘s character. 

— Canadian viewers hoping to catch Ryan Murphy‘s American Horror Story will have to wait a month as Rogers Media will launch FX Canada on November 1st. The new network will also air high profile series such as Louie, Sons of Anarchy and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

The ‘A’ channels will become CTV Two as of 6 a.m. on Monday, August 29th and will start broadcasting in HD two days later.

— TBS has cancelled Lopez Tonight. George Lopez’ talk show will air its final episode tomorrow night.

— Fall 2011 won’t be all Lopez-free, Jennifer Lopez will return to American Idol.
