Russell Needs a Loophole to Annul a Mistake on 'Rules of Engagement' (VIDEO)
With 'How to Be a Gentleman' tanking so badly CBS yanked it from Saturdays as well, 'Rules of Engagement' (Thu., 8:30PM ET on CBS) was upgraded to the sweet post-'Big Bang' slot on Thursday nights. And just in time for the premiere. We'll see if it fares any better.For their Season 6 premiere, we were surprised with the announcement of another engagement. Actually, it looks like Russell skipped that step altogether and married crazy cat-neighbor Liz from upstairs, who was on that cruise with him.
Bianca Kajlich Talks About Her Topless Scene in '30 Minutes or Less' (VIDEO)
Bianca Kajlich plays a stripper named "Juicy" in the new film '30 Minutes or Less,' a role that's a tad more revealing than Jennifer on 'Rules of Engagement.' But her co-star Danny McBride helped put her at ease when they were filming the topless scene, even though they had to shoot it two different ways, said Kajlich on 'Access Hollywood Live' (weekdays, syndicated on NBC)."Danny McBride is such a professional," she said of filming her risque scene with the actor. "He's such a fun, great guy and he made it totally comfortable. And it was fun." Billy Bush was a little suspicious of McBride, wondering if the film was an elaborate plot to see Kajlich nude. "Suspiciously, we actually shot it two different ways, so we had to do double the takes," Kajlich said.
Russell the Gnome on 'Rules of Engagement' (VIDEO)
On 'Rules of Engagement' (Mon., 8:30PM ET on CBS), one of the cast members is transformed into a video game character. Russell (David Spade) gets to see himself as a CGI "avatar." Unfortunately, this is not always a good thing.Watch the video after the jump.

Adam Poses for a Photo on 'Rules of Engagement' (VIDEO)
On the latest episode of 'Rules of Engagement' (Mon., 8:30PM ET on CBS), Adam (Oliver Hudson) faces an unusual problem. He can't quite seem to take a "manly" photo. Instead, all his pictures look "gay" (Jen's word, not ours). His friend Timmy (Adhir Kalyan) attempts to help him: "Now, I'm seeing nothing that's not entirely 'hetero,' so -- hold it," he says, snapping a photo. "And ... how the hell does that happen?" Yet another failure. Well, if at first you don't succeed, then try, try again.

Robbery on 'Rules of Engagement' (VIDEO)
Oh, what to do? What to do when your pad is so disgusting that you can't even tell if you've been robbed or not? That's one of the conundrums facing the characters on 'Rules of Engagement' (Mon., 8:30PM ET on CBS). Were they robbed? Or was their place just always this gross?Well, they were robbed. But what if the burglars are still there? Lead character Jeff Bingham (Patrick Warburton) has the solution to the problem, and enlists Adam (Oliver Hudson) in his ruse. The idea: Just shout out manly things to frighten away the crooks. "Honey, I'm home from the kung fu studio!" "Yeah, and I'm home from gun practice!" "Good," Jeff concludes, after they're done shouting, "... now they think we're a super-violent gay couple." Sometimes, improvisation isn't always the best idea.

David Spade Talks About 'Rules of Engagement'
'Rules Of Engagement' returned to the CBS lineup last week and star David Spade is back as Russell, a man whose single life is juxtaposed against those of his happily coupled pals Jeff and Audrey (Patrick Warburton and Megan Pryce) and Adam and Jennifer (Oliver Hudson and Biance Kajlich). The laid-back Spade recently sat down with AOL TV to weigh in on Russell now being in a relationship of sorts (Adhir Kalyan, as Russell's assistant Timmy, is now full-time with the show), Jaime Pressly's upcoming guest gig and those unwarranted shots he took over being in an ad for DirecTV last year with deceased pal Chris Farley.
Adam Has Second Thoughts on 'Rules of Engagement' (VIDEO)
Oh to be back at the 'save the date' stage rather than the 'mailing thank-you notes' stage. That's the message Adam gets on 'Rules of Engagement' (Mon., 8:30PM ET on CBS) when he runs into a fellow nuptials newbie at the post office.Somehow, that trash can is looking way better than the mail chute. Of course, he'd be in a deeper world of hurt if he didn't mail them, so ... yeah, either way he's screwed.

CBS juggles Monday, Accidentally shelved and Rules returns
Good news for Patrick Warburton fans; disappointing news for Jenna Elfman fans. And if you have a deep affection for Jeremy Northam, this should make you happy, too. Confused? Don't be. I'm just laying out the essence of the CBS midseason juggle. On Mondays, beginning February 1, Accidentally on Purpose will be shelved... but only for a few weeks. Taking the 8:30 Monday slot will be the return of Patrick Warburton, the best thing in Rules of Engagement.
That's not all. On March 31, the 8:30 slot in which Gary Unmarried airs, will be assumed by Accidentally. That's not because Gary's being canceled; it will have completed its season order by then.

David Spade Takes A (Hollywood) Minute to Defend Tiger Woods
Celebs and the media spotlight that shine on them were skewered regularly by funnyman David Spade in 'Hollywood Minute,' a segment within 'Saturday Night Live's' Weekend Update back in the '90s.Does Spade miss spoofing the whole celebrity machine? "I do," he told AOL during a recent set visit to Spade's sitcom 'Rules of Engagement,' which will return for its fourth season on CBS at midseason.
So what would Spade say on 'Hollywood Minute' about the whole Tiger Woods brouhaha? "I'd say, 'I saw the new US Weekly magazine poll and I think they were too tough on him," Spade deadpans. "It said, 'Should Tiger Go To Heaven?' 91 percent say no.'"
Jaime Pressly to Guest on 'Rules of Engagement'
Here's some news that'll bring back some Joy: 'My Name Is Earl' star Jaime Pressly is making a guest appearance on the CBS sitcom 'Rules of Engagement,' People.com reports.
