Neil Patrick Harris as the Shoe Fairy on an upcoming "Sesame Street."

Is "Sesame Street" the new "Saturday Night Live"?

It sure seems that way lately, with young stars going for "Street" cred by appearing on the iconic children's television show. Norah Jones did it, and Feist earlier this year turned her hit "1,2,3,4" into a tailor-made kids counting song. Lots of celebs make the effort.

The latest hip visitor to the street: Neil Patrick Harris. Fresh off his successful role in Joss Whedon's Internet musical last week, "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," Harris shows up in this video (we can't embed it!) as the Shoe Fairy. Well ...

Look who returned! Austin Scarlett, from "Runway" season one, kicked off season five as a guest judge.

Garbage. She said it herself. The "outfit" she was making looked like trash. And maybe that's because she made it out of trash bags.

So why wasn't Stella the first one cut on last night's season-five premiere of "Project Runway"?

Our hearty chuckle of the day — here's an appearance by Cookie Monster on Thursday's episode of "The Colbert Report," setting the record straight about his new, healthy-food, non-cookie agenda, and dishing about those "crazy" years in the ’70s and ’80s when he was "the Robert Downey Jr. of cookies."

A promo for the half-season finale "Revelations."

So Sci Fi's "Battlestar Galactica" concluded the first half of its final season with a bit of a shocker. Was it worth it? What will happen in the final episodes?

Spoilers after the jump...

John Cusack this morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show.

Evanston native John Cusack appeared on MSNBC this morning to chat about his new MoveOn.org ads — in which he makes the argument that it's difficult to tell the policies of George W. Bush and John McCain apart — as well as his new Iraq war-related movie. He takes a hearty swipe at cable talk fiend Bill O'Reilly in the process.

Cusack returns to MSNBC tonight, on "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" at 7 p.m.

Like the stoners they play in the upcoming ‘‘Pineapple Express,’’ Seth Rogen and James Franco stumbled unkowingly into trouble Sunday at the MTV Movie Awards.

And of course, the weed was someone else’s.

Early on in the show, Rogen and Franco took the podium to present the award for best summer movie so far, joking that MTV chose them because only ‘‘two potheads like us’’ would be willing to announce such a strange category. Then they pulled out a bag of ‘‘fake weed’’ and a ‘‘huge fatty joint’’ — and proceeded to light it.

In the closing moments of its season finale Sunday, ‘‘Desperate Housewives’’ flashed ahead five years.
And while there were no hints to the White House’s occupant or the state of the economy in 2013, viewers got a few clues about Wisteria Lane’s future.

Spoiler alert: Read no further if you haven’t yet seen this episode and want to preserve its surprises.
