Fans of the hot, hot, hot Jonas Brothers won't be disappointed in this long-awaited, song-filled flick set at a summer camp for aspiring singers and musicians. Demi Lovato stars as Mitchie, a novice singer-songwriter who attends Camp Rock when her mom is hired as the cook. There, she meets Shane Gray (Joe Jonas), a spoiled pop star who is at camp to repair his tarnished image and redefine his sound. Romance soon blossoms, of course, but it's threatened by a requisite hurdle or two. It all plays out predictably, but who doesn't love a fairy tale ending? Nick and Kevin Jonas appear in minor roles, but the three do rock out on stage together in one of the movie's many musical highlights.
Daytime Emmy Awards @ 8pm
Regis Philbin has been a loser more than a winner at the Daytime Emmys in recent years (three for 10 since 1999), but tonight's another night and he's up for best talk-show host yet again. Besides, he'll come away a winner no matter what happens in that category since he's also the recipient of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award. The leader in the nominations race is CBS with 56, powered by *The Young and the Restless* (17), *Guiding Light* (13) and *As the World Turns* (12). And PBS is No. 2 with 50, thanks to Elmo, Buster, Wordgirl and Curious George, among others. Cameron Mathison and Sherri Shepherd are the hosts.
Chelsea Lately @ 11:30pm
The hilarious and quick-witted Chelsea Handler takes a unique look at celebrity news, gossip, and pop culture with a roundtable of guests in front of a live studio audience. She also squeezes in plenty of celebrity one-on-ones and comedy pieces from the field to keep viewers laughing. Tonight Chelsea welcomes singer, songwriter and actress Ashanti, who hasn't made a record in five years. Welcome back A!! Will her new record sell like Lil' Wayne??
Doctor Who @ 9pm
It's comforting to see that even in the technology-rich realm of Doctor Who there are people who still read books. Apparently, they still use libraries, too, and while it's quite normal to expect a library to be on the quiet side, the massive facility visited by Donna and the Doctor is silent in a sinister way. Fans eager for a glimpse of the Doctor's future should "book" some time to catch Part 1 of this two-part tale.

Jennifer Love Hewitt must be experiencing a bit of déjà vu tonight: A college kid's death connected to a scary movie has attracted Melinda's attention, and her research into the case lets her know exactly what the film student did last summer. Seems the movie played on people's worst fears, but the horror didn't end after the cameras stopped rolling. Jonathan Murphy (October Road) guest stars.
Numbers @ 10pm
Everyone's favorite science guy, Bill Nye, reprises his role as Dr. Bill Waldie, the head of Cal Sci's engineering department, in this intense episode that centers on an ex-Marine wanted for murdering a serial killer. Complicating the search for the former military man is a hostage situation involving the fugitive's family members.
Moonlight @ 9pm
They're baaacckkk!! Calling all vampire fans:) Beth is kidnapped by the person suspected of murdering her boss, and Mick must decide whether to jeopardize his newfound mortality in order to rescue her. Scoop: the show won the People's Choice award and got a few extra episodes out of it. And how about a second season....oh yes indeed!
Tracy Ullman's State of the Union @ 9pm
Tracey Ullman impersonates Suzanne Somers selling a gynecological exerciser on a cable shopping show, and Helen Mirren discussing her latest nude film scene. Also: injury-prone soccer star David Beckham; an un-PC nun; a Russian U.N. interpreter; investigative journalist Rita Cosby.

It's the big finish of the family fancy-footwork competition, and that is good news for Jesse and Rebecca: It means they won't be up for elimination any more. The couple spent half the show at the bottom of the pack but managed to come back each time, thanks to viewer votes. Tonight they find out if they survived their fourth trip to the chopping block so they can be one of the final three who get to strut their stuff for a chance at $100,000.
Ghost Whisperer @ 8pm
High school is tough enough with all the hormones and growth spurts (wow, did Ned ever grow up fast!), but mix in some supernatural stunts and the angst meter hits critical. In this repeat from January, Ned (newcomer Christoph Sanders) asks Melinda to investigate the hauntings plaguing his new friend. But in order to get to the bottom of the ghostly grumblings, she first needs to navigate the rocky waters of gossipy "slam sites" where students anonymously insult each other. Meanwhile, Melinda's own anonymity may be at stake when that pesky blogger comes back to haunt her.
Canterbury's Law @ 9pm
Elizabeth's tactics suggest she'll do just about anything (legal or otherwise) to win a case, but in tonight's season finale, we learn there are lines even she will not cross. Of course, there are loopholes in her scruples when she defends an admitted rapist — something she said she'd never do — namely that the confessor is a former client who has turned his life around in the years since the crime was committed. And it looks like Elizabeth's principles will come out unscathed, until an inflammatory talk-radio host starts whispering in the ear of the victim.
Rob & Big @ 5:30pm
Big announces he's expecting a baby in the series finale....what?! Did anyone know that Mr. Big even had a girlfriend much less a relationship that ended with a baby?? It would have been nice to have seen her on the show...or any girlfriend for that matter. So now that Big is growing up--what will Rob do? Do you think this will inspire Rob to find his forever "good" girl.....so many questions so little time! Update: Rob may have screen sirens in his future, catch his small role along side heavy hitters Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro in 88 minutes.
Duel @ 9:00pm:
t's the third week of this adrenaline-pumping, high-stakes competition game show. Competitors find themselves in intense head-to-head matches, reacting quickly under pressure and forced to use both brains (does he know the right answer?) and nerves (can she put her money where her mouth is?) to outsmart their opponents.

If we can assume that the maverick Elizabeth has been marching to the beat of her own drummer for a long time now, she's no doubt encountered (and navigated) any number of professional pitfalls. But should this latest obstacle — serious accusations of jury tampering in the Ethan Foster case — prove insurmountable, she faces possible disbarment, and might even go to jail. Better drink that vodka while you can, counselor.
Numbers @ 10pm
Don's former flame, ADA Robin Brooks (Michelle Nolden), returns, and he's assigned to protect her when three witnesses involved in a case she is prosecuting are murdered. Worse for Don is the belief that Robin may be leaking information to aid her case. Also, an imprisoned gang leader is suspected of passing secret instructions to a teen chess prodigy about which gang members should be killed, and Charlie undergoes FBI training to learn how to better protect himself.
Miss USA @ 9pm
Donny and Marie Osmond take the helm of this year's parade of perfection, which has a spiced-up new location at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. A performance by rock band Finger Eleven also adds an unlikely twist to the proceedings. And finally, the slew of celebrity judges includes Joey Fatone, Heather Mills and Project Runway's Christian Siriano. Fabulous!
Ghost Whisperer @ 8pm
The show is back with six new episodes! Last week, she was lured to a haunted underground city by the spirit of her presumed dead dad (Martin Donovan), Melinda narrowly escaped a cave-in, and hubby Jim became very protective. Tonight, a series of break-ins leads Melinda to the town blogger, who knows her secret and intends to tell.
Duel @ 9pm
Contestants of varying backgrounds answer trivia and strategize to outsmart their opponents in head-to-head matchups.
