The "Britney/Brittany" installment of Glee was stunt-casting magic, and Britney Spears' visit to McKinley officially became a creative and financial triumph for Fox's hit musical dramedy.

Zooey Deschanel

It's about darn time! Emily Deschanel's baby sister finally guest stars on Bones on Dec. 10. We are unreasonably excited about this. How 'bout you?

Freddie Prinze Jr.

Mr. Sarah Michelle Gellar joins the cast of 24 this January. We can only assume this is part of a charity outreach effort of some kind.

Padma Lakshmi

The Top Chef hostess guests as herself opposite Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy on the Nov. 12 episode of 30 Rock. Looks like Sheinhardt Wig Company is really bringing the cross-network synergy this season!

Samantha Ronson

When the celebrity DJ guests as herself on the Nov. 3 ep of 90210, she takes a moment to give Navid (Michael Steger) some dating advice. He should take her advice with a grain of salt, though, seeing as how SamRo and LiLo are featured prominently in our Most Dysfunctional Celebrity Couples gallery.

Lady Gaga

A version of the loopy singer appeared this week on Gossip Girl (in the form of a wee Lithuanian trick-or-treater visiting Rufus and Lily's apartment), but the real deal stops by the Nov. 16 episode to perform one of her pop-hit songs and visit with the likes of Penn Badgley and Leighton Meester.

Mr. Gwen Stefani rocks the eyeliner as a suspected murderer on Criminal Minds on Nov. 11. The best part? The BAU team suspects vampiric influences may be at work. We suspect Twilight influences may be at work.

Gina Torres

The imperious Firefly star comes to Gossip Girl for the rather ridiculous purpose of playing Vanessa's mother as such an unrepentant hippie that she doesn't approve of institutions of higher education or of her daughter (Jessica Szohr) being elected to make the freshman-class speech. Come on!

Summer Glau

Um, whatever happened to Grindhouse Fridays on Fox? We weren't expecting Summer to look so milquetoast when she guest-stars on Dollhouse.
