Among the A-listers you'll see this season: a daytime TV queen (Elisabeth Hasselbeck), a 'Star Trek' icon (Leonard Nimoy) and a two-time Oscar winner (Jodie Foster) who will finally let Maggie Simpson do the talking.
Check out our guest stars gallery to see when all of Hollywood's finest will be sweeping their way onto your favorite TV shows.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck
'Ugly Betty'

Salma Hayek
'30 Rock'
Airdate: April 23
Role: Hayek (finally!) returns as the sultry Elisa, this time with a secret. Meanwhile, Jack enlists Liz to help shop for Elisa's engagement ring -- and with Jack's salary, it's sure to be a big 'Rock.'

Tom Sizemore
'Southland'
Airdate: April 23
Role: Sizemore has been booked by the newbie cop drama, playing -- shocker -- a famous movie star. Suggestion to 'Southland': Write the plot about Sizemore's real life.

Henry Thomas
'CSI'
Airdate: April 23
Role: Jeremy Kent, Catherine's (Marg Helgenberger) first-ever convicted killer who, 20 years later, finds fault with her original case work. No word on whether he'll use E.T. as his one phone call.

Michelle Trachtenberg
'Gossip Girl'
Airdate: April 27
Role: The notorious Georgina Sparks (Trachtenberg) is back after getting shipped off to boot camp at the end of season 1. So has camp changed her for the better? Based on the stunts she pulled last season, we highly doubt it.

Hilary Duff
'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'
Airdate: April 28
Role: Duff, who recently appeared on an episode of 'Ghost Whisperer,' continues her small screen hot streak as Ashlee Walker, a character described as a "young and irresponsible mother." That sounds ripped from the headlines, doesn't it?

Chris O'Donnell, LL Cool J
'NCIS'
Airdate: April 28, May 5

'Family Guy'
Airdate: May 3
Role: Fox is all in the 'Family' again with a star-studded lineup that includes the return of Drew Barrymore's Jillian, Jay Leno as himself and 'The Hills'' Lauren Conrad, who reportedly goes out on a date with Brian, the family dog. Guess she can finally relate to Heidi Montag again.

Gale Harold
'Desperate Housewives'
Airdate: May 3
Role: Harold's serious motorcycle accident left him sidelined for much of the season. But on May 3, look for the ex-'Queer as Folk' hunk to make a healthy comeback, which should comfort fans -- not to mention Susan -- still 'Desperate' for more Jackson action.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a HOT and beautiful woman. It's just too bad her head is filled with rubbish.

Tom N. Thompson at 6:36AM on Apr 24th 2009
what is a Hassleback. She sure is pretty? if that counts. Just hope she leaves the VIEW behind
squizz at 6:48AM on Apr 24th 2009
I hope this means Hasselbeck leaves the view. I won't watch the view because of this blond who needs to shut her mouth

She's the only one with half a brain. She should move on to much better things. That show has become nothing but a JOKE. While I respect that everyone is entitled to an opinion, they don't even try to balance things out..they attack and attack - GET THEM OFF THE AIR- there must be something more useful to put on the air at that time!

Wheres my comment you communist.
Deborah at 7:15AM on Apr 24th 2009
We would all be better served if Elizabeth stayed home and took care of her kids. She can only survive on TV if she keeps her mouth shut (which she can't). I cannot stand the woman.

elisabeth hasselbach is so not an alister, maybe an ahole but not an alister, an idiot maybe or an airhead but certainly not an alister.
RONNIE at 7:11AM on Apr 24th 2009
ELISABETH IS PROOF THAT TALENT IS NOT REQUIRED .

I was in the audience of the View and talk about a fashion victim;here is someone who had her own fashion style program on the Style channel who is now a dumb blond fashion vitim. I just view her as another living brain donor (God forbid!!!)
