First Look: Jennifer Lopez Seduces Barney on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
With both a new album (Love) and movie (The Back-up Plan) dropping this April, it should probably come as little surprise that Jennifer Lopez isn’t taking any chances when it comes to her big comeback. Which is why, the artist formerly known as J.Lo will follow up her February 27th gig pulling double-duty as host and musical guest on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE with a guest stint on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. In an episode scheduled to air on March 8, Lopez will play Anita, a self-help author who tries to lure Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) into falling head-over-heels for her and here with your first look is theTVaddict.com.

An In Depth Look At… GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Deadly Family Feud!
Think your family’s got issues? Well, unless you’re an undercover cop who was gunned down by a mobster who two seconds later was revealed to be your secret daddy, you ain’t got nothin’ on GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Dante and Sonny! Our friends at Soaps In Depth tell us that things go from bad to worse when Dante (the son/shootee) realizes that his testimony is the only think standing between Sonny (the dad/shooter) and a stint behind bars.
“Did I mention that Sonny’s claustrophobic and would rather sit through a marathon of THE HILLS than be locked up in a tiny cell?” asks executive editor Richard M. Simms. “Not surprisingly, his best buddy, Jason, has come up with a plan to get Sonny out of the country if things don’t go well. And let that be a life lesson to you all: If you’re in the mood for a pal, always choose the leather-clad, emotionally-impaired hitman. He’ll totally help you out of any jam.”

Today’s TV addict Top 5: Biggest Non-Stories of the Week!
This just in: A very slow news day for Michael Ausiello! Who recently concluded in a BONES EXCLUSIVE that Booth and Brennan will finally put an end to the will-they-or-won’t-they speculation following an interview with executive producer Stephen Nathan who promised that the upcoming fifth season finale will be as big as last season’s finale, “but in a very different way.” Not ambiguous at all. Really.
Yesterday TVGuide.com asked whether the addition of Donald Faison to the new CBS pilot THE ODDS spells doom for SCRUBS? Today, theTVaddict.com has an answer for them. Ummm… No! Particularly since Donald Faison’s CBS deal has him in ‘second position’ contingent on whether or not ABC picks up SCRUBS for a tenth season. That, and if anything spells doom for SCRUBS, it was last season’s disappointing ratings and somewhat less than creative direction. We’re just sayin’
