According to TV Line sources, Ashley Williams will once again reprise her role as Ted’s on-again/off-again girlfriend, Victoria, on an episode expected to air in April. It’s unclear what brings the character into the fold for another appearance, but she was last seen on How I Met Your Mother Season 8 , breaking up with Ted when he refused to sever all ties to Robin. This CBS comedy is winding down its final season, though the network has already announced a spinoff titled How I Met Your Dad . While you ponder whether or not that’s a good idea, go right ahead and watch How I Met Your Mother online now to catch up on all you may have missed.

Top 12 TV Moments of 2012: The Year on the Small Screen!

From a soldier-turned-spy-turned-confused-lover to the transformation of a high school junior into a vampire, the world of television was filled with plenty of jaw-dropping moments in 2012. And we’ve collected the 12 best below. As part of our year-end series (check out our Top Memes of 2012 , along with the Top Videos of the past dozen months), THG now takes readers through the small screen scenes and developments that left us uttering: O… M…G! ——————————————- 12. The Grey’s Anatomy plane crash . Was it typically contrived drama from Shonda Rhimes? Of course. But long-time viewers of this ABC favorite can’t deny the deadly impact of that flight hitting the ground in May. 11. Bill Compton goes bad . Yes, True Blood Season 5 really went there. Every time you thought Sookie’s first love would admit he was simply playing a long con, the series continued to drive the shocking fact home: Bill really did believe every evil word out of his mouth. Then he turned into some kind of gooey new being. 10. Gossip Girl is revealed . Just a couple years ago, this would have been in contention for top moment of the TV year. But The CW drama fell out of favor even with long-time fans and, by the end of its run, was drawing under one million viewers per week. Dan Humphrey as Gossip Girl? Not a bad choice, but we stopped caring ages ago. 9. Game of Thrones, “Blackwater.” Just the entire episode. Not just the most action-packed hour of Game of Thrones Season 2 , or the most action-packed hour of television in 2012. Probably the most action on the small and big screen of the past year. Amazing visuals all around. 8. Opie has got this . One of the saddest deaths of the year took place early on Sons of Anarchy Season 5 , as a lead pipe to the skull led to the demise of Ryan Hurst’s tough, big-hearted character. A stunning, violent death and the driving force of the rest of the season. 7. And the bride-to-be is… We’re still waiting to learn the identity of the Mother, but How I Met Your Mother revealed Barney’s bride to close out Season 7. It’s Robin! We witnessed his adorable proposal to conclude this show’s run in 2012. 6. Elena, transformed! One wrong turned changed The Vampire Diaries forever, as Elena and Matt drove off the road on the Season 3 finale of this CW hit, leading to an infusion of vampire blood into the former and a shot to the heart of a series that had been floundering a bit last spring. 5. A birth and a death. The Walking Dead Season 3 has been filled with blood, gore and shocking events. But none more than Lori giving birth AND dying on the same installment. Seriously, no one on this show is safe. 4. A now! Pretty Little Liars finally unveiled the identity of A. Of course, there’s still an entire team behind this key villain, meaning the ABC Family drama may never answer its primary question. But, think about it fans, would you really want it to? 3. Lena Dunham gets naked . And does everything else, too: write, produce and star in Girls , the breakout show of the past 12 months. 2. Oh, sit! Breaking Bad finally opens Hank’s eyes to the identity of his brother-in-law, in a manner no fans of this AMC smash could have seen coming: while sitting on the toilet. There’s nothing we’re looking forward to more in 2013 than the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad season 5 . 1. Carrie gets her man. Television’s most stunning moment did not take place on a premiere or finale, but rather the fourth episode of Homeland season 2 , summing up the incredible pace of this Showtime drama. Carrie Matheson outing Brody as a spy and cuffing her nemesis/lover – this early in the program’s run – was as unexpected as anything we saw on TV all year. Our jaws haven’t left the floor since.

Meet Tom Cruise’s (Alleged) Arranged Scientology Almost-Bride [PIC]

There’s a reason that the inner workings of Scientology are still a mystery to many, and that reason involves an army of lawyers. But we’re going to go ahead and tell you the following story, albeit with a disclaimer: We’re just repeating what Vanity Fair said, so please get mad at them, not us! Thanks! When Tom Cruise and his third wife Katie Holmes divorced earlier this year, rumors spread that Katie left because she was worried about the Church of Scientology’s effect on her daughter. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, according to a new Vanity Fair article that claims Iranian actress Nazanin Boniadi (left) was set up to “audition” for the role of Cruise’s girlfriend just before he got together with Holmes. Nazanin (who you might remember from Iron Man [2008] or her role as Nora on How I Met Your Mother ) was allegedly chosen as a potential bride for Cruise after an extensive search in 2004, given a physical and mental makeover (including an intense moth-long session ” where she was audited every day, a process in which she told a high-ranking Scientology official her innermost secrets and every detail of her sex life “) and flown to New York to “try out” for the part of Tom Cruise’s girlfriend. According to Vanity Fair ‘s Maureen Orth, ” in November 2004 Boniadi was flown to New York, where she met Cruise. That’s when she first sensed that this was possibly going to be an arranged marriage. For their first date Cruise and Boniadi went to dinner at Nobu with an entourage of Scientology aides, then to the skating rink at Rockefeller Center, which was closed to the public especially for them. The two spent that first night together but, according to several sources, they did not have sex…She was given a second confidentiality agreement specifically about Cruise to sign. ” But after two months of dating, Nazanin was (allegedly) deemed not good enough for Scientology’s golden boy and sent to the Celebrity Center in L.A., where she was (allegedly) told Tom “ wants someone with her own power—like [ex-wife] Nicole [Kidman]. ” After an (alleged) tearful confession to a friend (allegedly) led to an assignment scrubbing toilets and digging ditches, Nazanin and her mother, also a (up to that point) loyal Scientologist, left the church for good. Nazanin Boniadi may be new to you, but we bet you’ve heard of celebrity Scientologists Elisabeth Moss , Juliette Lewis , Linda Blair , Laura Prepon , Bijou Phillips and Kelly Preston …and you can see more of them all right here at MrSkin.com!

Jay-Z Says Jay Electronica Album Is ‘Really Close’

‘Him as a lyricist is almost scary. He’s scary good,’ Jigga tells MTV News of his Roc Nation signee. By Rob Markman Jay-Z Photo: MTV News There’s nothing typical about Jay Electronica . In fact, many wondered how the enigmatic MC would fit in with the major-label system at all. Luckily for Jay Elec, his Roc Nation boss Jay-Z is sympathetic to the sensibilities of his creative spirit. “I love that, I want to support that sort of energy. I want people to be creative and not traditional, not just a single [at] this time, this time [and] this time,” Jay-Z told MTV News on Monday, when he was in Philadelphia to announce his two-day Made in America music festival . “You know, he operates at his own time, but the album is really close.” Hov announced in November 2010 that he signed Elect to his budding Roc Nation label. Jigga insisted then that his goal was to “reintroduce magic to hip-hop,” and a year and a half later, the God MC is still excited by the New Orleans rapping wizard. Electronica has long hyped his official debut, Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn), with gleeful tweets, sending periodic updates on the LP’s progress. In March he messaged fans, stating that the wait was finally over and the album was complete, though he made no reference to any release date. “Dear Believers and Patient Supporters. Thank you for your patience and support. The Album will be turned in Tomorrow evening. The wait ends,” he tweeted. Still, when it comes to the “Exhibit C” rapper’s sporadic music-release patterns, there is no telling. In April he dropped “Dear Moleskine.” Before that, in October 2011, it was the Prodigy-assisted “Call of Duty” , and before that, back in November 2010, there was “Shiny Suit Theory.” It’s not a pace traditionally suited for today’s rap race. But Jay-Z assures us that there is an album and that it’s pretty damn good, if he does say so himself. “It’s exactly what it should be — it’s amazing. Him as a lyricist is almost scary. He’s scary good,” Jigga gushed. “I’m doing something to it that’s really untraditional, so we’ll see how it works.” Are you eagerly anticipating Jay Electronica’s debut album?
