How did Lost’s Naveen Andrews (pictured) spend his show’s season finale night? On stage with Mark McGrath, Dave Navarro, and a host of rock luminaries for the final bow of Camp Freddy Mayhem — the all-star cover band’s month-long residency at Los Angeles’ famed Sunset Strip club The Roxy. In its original form, the group includes frontman actor-musician Donovan Leitch, Jane’s Addiction’s Navarro and Chris Chaney, The Cult’s Billy Morrison, and Velvet Revolver’s Matt Sorum. Last night, for a cover of the Sex Pistols’ “E.M.I.,” Andrews (introduced as a member of the Oceanic 6) joined the group on guitar while Sugar Ray singer (and Extra host, lest we forget) McGrath handled the microphone.
But while it was one song and out for Andrews, other guest stars lingered longer, like Juliette Lewis who commanded the stage and channeled singer Exene Cervenka with a song by ’80s punk band X, and guitarist Jerry Cantrell, who brought back that warm, fuzzy, early-’90s flannel feeling with “Man in the Box,” a classic from his band, Alice in Chains. But the most anticipated (and not the least bit disappointing) moment of the night was the show’s closer, Billy Idol. Looking fit in a tight, black T-shirt and sporting a shorter version of the David Cook ’do, he joined The Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger for a well-received spin of “L.A. Woman,” then launched into his own hits, “Dancing with Myself” and “Rebel Yell,” to deafening cheers. All told, he spent a total of 20 minutes at the club, arriving just in time to hit the stage and leaving under cover of a leather jacket immediately after — like a true rock Idol should.
The 100-day writers’ strike is becoming a distant nightmare, but not every network has fully recovered. FX, for instance, has yet to announce return dates for summer mainstays Rescue Me and Damages. Nor has it decided whether to order third seasons of The Riches and Dirt, both of which just finished poorly-rated seasons. "It’s a combination of the strike having us scrambling, and trying to figure out what shows are compatible where," says FX President John Landgraf. He predicts a January return (at the earliest) for Damages, which stars Glenn Close (pictured), and a spring berth for Rescue Me. Now for the good news: Fans of the Denis Leary firefighter series can get a fix this summer by watching 10 five-minute original "minisodes" in the show’s usual summer slot. And The Shield returns for its final season Sept. 2. 
For Grey’s Anatomy fans who began the season wondering whether Dr. Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith) was gay, the May 22 season finale finally offered an answer — she might just be, now that Callie (Sara Ramirez) made her move. The two-hour episode — which culminated with Callie planting a big ol’ buss on Erica outside of Seattle Grace — had us asking: For the love of The L Word, could Eri-Cal eclipse Meredith and Derek as Grey’s It Couple? Creator Shonda Rhimes hints that we may not have seen the last of this budding romance. “Callie and Erica have an undeniable chemistry,” says Rhimes. “And watching the story unfold is something the writers are looking forward to. I wanted to illuminate their relationship in the same way we do all relationships on the show — it will be funny, sweet, honest, and a little bit dirty.”
