A former Real Housewife is going to take a fictional one under her wing.

In an upcoming episode of ABC’s The Neighbors, Bethenny Frankel will guest star as a businesswoman who offers to help launch Debbie Weaver’s (Jami Gertz) handbag business.

The episode, titled “Mo Purses Mo Money Mo Problems,” is shooting this week and expected to air in March or April.

Her talk show Bethenny will air in syndication fall 2013.

Sarah Shahi is going after Finch and Reese!

The former Fairly Legal star has scored a recurring guest star role on CBS’s Person of Interest, EW has learned.

She will play Shaw, a “fearless, sexy operative in a secret paramilitary organization that tracks and eliminates terrorists before they can act,” according to creator/executive producer Jonathan Nolan. “She brings to her work a yen for mayhem and a sharp, dark wit — in whatever language the locals are speaking,” he says of the character. “If James Bond and Sarah Connor had a kid, Shaw would kick its ass.”

Her multi-episode arc begins in the Feb. 21 episode, titled “Relevance,” which will be directed by Nolan.

Shahi currently recurs on Chicago Fire.

Seth Rogen is taking a break from his Guilt Trip for a trip down memory lane on The Mindy Project.

Fox has announced that the actor, who currently stars alongside Barbra Streisand in The Guilt Trip, will guest on the Feb. 19 episode of the freshman comedy as Sam, a man who once had a teen romance with Mindy. (He was her first kiss!)

In the episode, titled “The One That Got Away,” Mindy finds herself reunited with Sam, and after reminiscing about their time at Jewish summer camp, they begin to rekindle their puppy love.

Rogen is arguably one of the biggest-name guest stars to visit The Mindy Project, which last month also booked Office alum B.J. Novak for a guest stint.

Mindy returns tonight with new episodes.

“As one of the world’s biggest Yes, Dear fans, I am very excited about this reunion,” says Raising Hope executive producer Greg Garcia, who co-created Dear with the late Alan Kirschenbaum. “I can’t wait to work with Mike and Liza again. Two incredibly funny people who turn my tin cans into gold every time.”

O’Malley and Snyder previously played married couple Jimmy and Christine Hughes on Yes, Dear for six seasons until the show’s conclusion in 2006. O’Malley currently has a recurring part as Burt Hummel on Glee.

Dylan McDermott’s return to American Horror Story, after appearing in season 1 as the haunted Dr. Ben Harmon, has been highly secretive… that is until Nov. 21′s Asylum episode, “The Origins of Monstrosity.” During the present-day story line, viewers heard modern-day Bloody Face call the police and taunt them and the voice definitely sounded like McDermott’s.

Then, this week, Ryan Murphy confirmed to EW what fans had theorized: “Yes. Dylan is modern-day Bloody Face. So the question is, Why is he the modern-day Bloody Face? What is he doing? And that’s revealed in episode 9.” Now, McDermott has posted a photo of himself as the villain on his WhoSay page, although sans his famous flesh mask.
