Some shows are creepy just because, well, they're icky to think about. Like 'The Girls Next Door' (twins sleeping with the same old guy!) or 'Hoarders' (the ultimate pack-rats!). Then there are shows that are frightening, but in a good way. Read on for eight such shows that make you look under the bed at night, avoid cemeteries, and ponder alternate universes.

It's eerie how much Janet Jackson sounds like her brother Michael. Not only are they both super-talented when it comes to dancing and singing, but they share that same softspoken voice, as if they're in the eye of a storm swirling around them. And that's certainly proven to be the case.

At her oceanside home in Malibu, California, the 43-year-old star opened up to 'Good Morning America' anchor Robin Roberts. It's clear Jackson is still grieving over the death of Michael, who died June 25, but she's also forging a new path for herself, with a new single and video, 'Make Me,' and a collection of hits, titled 'Number Ones.'

One thing that came up is her relationship with record producer Jermaine Dupri. Though it was widely rumored that the two finally married after dating for seven years, Jackson says it's over. "I adore him, and we're still very good friends to this day ... that's all I'll say." Jackson says she's single and focusing on work right now.

Sarah Palin appeared on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' today to talk about daughter Bristol's pregnancy, the Levi Johnston controversy, the infamous Katie Couric interview, and whether she's considered running for president in 2012.

With very little fanfare, Oprah introduced the former Governor of Alaska, who strode onto the stage in an aqua jacket and dark skirt, with her daughters Bristol and Piper sitting in the audience.

Oprah jumped right into the interview, asking Palin if she felt snubbed that she wasn't invited onto the 'Oprah' show during the election.

"No offense to you, but it wasn't the center of my universe," said Palin, adding, "I've heard more about that during the last few weeks than during the campaign."

Palin's book, 'Going Rogue: An American Life,' hits bookstores tomorrow. In it, she talks about her faith and how she gets through life's challenges, "thanks to God and Todd."

At an age when many actors would be thinking about slowing down, George Segal continues to set the bar high in both TV and film. The 'Just Shoot Me' alum is returning to the small screen in a starring role on TV Land's half-hour pilot, 'Retired at 35.'

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story follows a successful young businessman who decides to leave the New York fast lane and move into his father's Florida retirement home. Don't look for Segal's character, the father, to be sitting around playing Canasta, though. He'll play a former insurance executive who's all about partying and having fun.
