Prison Break: Guess Who's Coming Back for the Finale?
The two-hour series finale of Prison Break airs Friday, May 15 on Fox, but we just got a copy of the episode and couldn't hold our excitement. A certain mystery guest is making a very important appearance in the finale, so important, everyone's lives depend on it.
Said guest may not have been a fan favorite at the time, but fans sure love this person now. By promise of death, we cannot tell you who returns. But suffice it to say that you'll be shocked because this person has been pretty dead for a while now.
This mystery person is not the only familiar face who returns though. Rockmond Dunbar, Amaury Nolasco and Danay Garcia also come back, along with a new FBI agent named Chris Franco, played by über-creepy Ethan Rom of Lost (aka William Mapother).
Now, we know what you're thinking: Tell us who the mystery person is! Sorry, we can't. But there are more important things happening in the finale you should be wondering about. Like, say, will Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) survive?

Hanging With the Cast of HIMYM
Jason Segal is desperately trying to get pregnant.
This is just one of the fun facts(?) I learned during my latest encounter with the stars of CBS' How I Met Your Mother, in the latest installment of the Watch with Kristin Show above. And of course, given that two-fifths of the cast is currently with child, Jason's chances of becoming the world's second prego man aren't all that bad.
Meanwhile, if you're dying to know what's up with fan-favorite coupling Robarney, Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smulders will fill you in. And we have a sneak peek of Laura Prepon on set--she's coming on the show as Ted's ex-girlfriend (whom you'll love to hate).
Plus, the latest on Amy Poehler's new show, Parks and Recreation, United States of Tara and the series finale of Prison Break.
Enjoy!

Why Did Prison Break Have to Die?
Wenty is leaving us.
For good.
As was announced last week, Prison Break ends forever this spring. That means no more crazy conspiracies, no more Michael and Sarah nooky, no more Scofield-Burrows brotherly love.
So with all the fan love for this show here in the States and around the world, what killed Prison Break? Exec producer Zack Estrin tells me exclusively why the end is nigh, and what we can expect from the final days of Michael and Linc...
Breaking News
Prison Break Is Ending
It's official. Prison Break is coming to an end.
"Prison Break had a hell of a run, but the run has ended," Fox president Kevin Reilly just told reporters at the TV Critics Press Tour. "This will be the last year of the show."
The news was somewhat expected, given the four-year-old series' downturn in the ratings this season. However, according to Reilly, the decision was made from a creative standpoint. "The show has just played out. You get to a point creatively where you feel all the stories have been told, and you want to end strong and not gimp out in the end of the season."
So exactly how many more episodes will we get? And what about a movie?

Is Prison Break Ending?
Could Fox be shutting the doors on Prison Break—without any plan for future escape?
The Hollywood Reporter says the series might be coming to an end, because word is there might be two more episodes this season, which could be an attempt to wrap up storylines and send Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell on their merry way.
So what is the real story? Is Prison Break really on the way out?
We've checked in with the network, the studio and inside sources for exactly where things stand...
Prison Twist Makes Sarah Lose Her Head Again
Well, crap. Don't tell me they're lopping Sarah Wayne Callies' head off again on Prison Break.
"I got to [reading] the end of episode 15," she tells us, "and my head was kind of floating on a string."
Grrreat.
Thankfully, though, that was just a figure of speech, and Sarah's character, Dr. Sara Tancredi, is not once again losing her head. Whew! (Reminder: Her head was chopped off and put in a box last season, but it was revealed that wasn't really Sara.)
However, a major twist is going down, and it sounds like a show-changer.
And could it, um, involve a pregnancy?

Prison Break: Three Big Deaths Are Coming
Ruh-roh.
Sources confirm exclusively that three characters will be dying very soon on Prison Break, and if you're going to believe lovely leading lady Sarah Wayne Callies, at least one of them will not be easy for the fans to take.
"We’re going to lose a couple of people, a couple of people we have loved from the beginning," she tells us exclusively. "And we’re very, very, very sorry to see go. And we may be starting to lose the one person none of us thought we could."
Ummm...If you're talking about Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield), Sarah, you'll need to give us (and millions of fans around the globe) a moment, a paper bag to breathe into and possibly some Valium 'cause we were under the assumption that men who are hot as fire are not killed off of TV shows!
To prevent widespread (and internal) panic, I have done some digging among sources and have this exclusive scoop on the upcoming deaths and shockers you must prepare yourself for...
