HOLLYWOOD, Calif. --
Great Guest Stars
“The Big Bang Theory” lands a “Battlestar Galactica” babe for a hilarious cameo on Monday night’s show. Katee Sackhoff — aka “BSG’s” Starbuck, as fanboys know her — drops in for a dream sequence with Simon Helberg’s Wolowitz. The two get cozy in a bathtub together. Sackhoff dropped in on Access Hollywood this morning for an exclusive interview with me where she revealed just what she had underneath all those bubbles… bike shorts and pasties!
Apparently she and Simon both sat indian style inside the tub while they were filming and Katee kept squeezing her toe to stop herself from laughing. After the cameras stopped rolling Simon joked, “that wasn’t your toe you were grabbing.” Katee’s episode airs 11/23 at 8 PM on CBS. Watch Access Hollywood’s weekend show for an exclusive preview and interview with Katee.
‘80s icons Daryl Hall and John Oates join a Thanksgiving feast on “The Cleveland Show.” The duo will appear as themselves playing an angel and a devil.

Weekend TV
Sunday night on ABC, it’s the “American Music Awards” at 8 PM. Will the late King Of Pop come out on top? I’m betting Michael Jackson will win all five categories he is nominated in. Either way it will be an incredible show with performances by Whitney Houston, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood, Green Day, the Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, Adam Lambert and Jennifer Lopez. Janet Jackson will open the show.
Say it isn’t so, but the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” season finale has already arrived. The season certainly was not long enough but at least we’ll finally get to see the official “Seinfeld” reunion go into rehearsals. Sunday at 9 PM on HBO.
