She & Him
Bones
8 p.m., Channel 25
Fox slips in a pair of old "American Idol" rejects on tonight's episode. The story involves a murder at an open-mike night in LA, and Ace Young and Brandon Rogers play aspiring singers. Also, the plot gives Emily Deschanel a chance to sing "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," so we'll find out if she has the chops of her sister Zooey.

Gossip Girl
8 p.m., Channel 56
Like Serena. Love Blair. Worship Georgina.

American Gladiators
8 p.m., Channel 7
OK, I'll watch, Mr. Justice, sir.

Verminators
10 p.m., Discovery Channel
They go after pests. Like TV critics. (Ambiguity intended.)

BRIT AGAIN
How I Met Your Mother
8:30 p.m., Channel 4
Britney Spears returns to the show for a sweeps appearance, as the receptionist who had a crush on Ted. This time, she joins forces with Barney to bother Ted. By the way, my new theory is that Sarah Chalke's Stella is not the mother, but someone close to her is, and it may be her sister.

House
9 p.m., Channel 25
He gets a head injury, and there is roof damage.

The Bachelor: London Calling
10 p.m., Channel 5
Matt (no relation) chooses his lady love.

ON DEMAND
Bugsy
Comcast, Free Movies
Gleefully and stylishly, this big, slick gangster movie starring Warren Beatty feasts on the fact that mobster Bugsy Siegel and Hollywood were made for each other. A killer visionary, he repackaged the movies' promise of self-reinvention in Las Vegas after selling to himself first. The commentary on Hollywood, American business, gangster movies, and narcissism is more eventful than the love story between Bugsy and his flossy moll, Virginia Hill. (R; runs through May 19)

Bones
8 p.m., Channel 25

Fox slips in a pair of old "American Idol" rejects on tonight's episode. The story involves a murder at an open-mike night in LA, and Ace Young and Brandon Rogers play aspiring singers. Also, the plot gives Emily Deschanel (above) a chance to sing "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," so we'll find out if she has the chops of her sister Zooey.
