Now that the entire world knows about Allison's abilities, she and her family have some adjusting to do. But the more interesting development as the show returns for its fourth season is the special guest star: Anjelica Huston (left). I love her. She's appearing over the next six episodes, playing an investigator who works with Allison.

John Waters returns to nostalgialand, circa 1954, not as sublimely as in "Hairspray," but enjoyably enough. Johnny Depp (above, with Amy Locane) stars as a delinquent dreamboat tapping into Elvis and Jimmy Dean iconography as greasers called drapes mix it up with fascist frats in Waters' kitsch-studded, pro-rebel, anti-repression confection. (PG-13; runs on Starz through Jan. 10)

Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann

8 p.m., Channel 5

Carrie Ann Inaba. Carrie Ann Inaba. I could say the name all day long. Tonight, she and fellow "Dancing With the Stars" judge Bruno Tonioli begin hosting their own series, which is basically a way to further milk "Dancing With the Stars." Each of them will head up a team of singer-dancers who'll compete to be the ultimate performance group. Drew Lachey hosts.
