James van der Beek is set to guest in Episode 316, “Sandcastles in the Sand.” Check out the article at E! Online for more about his character and the episode – spoilers, obviously.

There’s also an update on celebrity March Madness brackets at ESPN.com.

Spoilers:: This article from the Chicago Tribune is a few weeks old, but the last two bullet points have some info on episodes that still haven’t aired. One explains the title of 3.16, “Sandcastles in the Sand.” [Spoiler level: Won't ruin any major plot developments, but will take the potential surprise out of what will still be an awesome bit.] The other gives some very general information about what to expect from Barney later this season.

Other Projects:: CHUD got some information about the premise of Jason Segel’s upcoming Muppets movie.

HIMYM Merch:: As Seen On has information about the dress that Sarah Chalke’s Stella wore during the two-minute date.

Episode 314, The Bracket, airs tonight! When Barney’s love life is sabotaged by a mystery woman, he turns to tournament bracketology to narrow down the field of 64 women with the most cause to hate his guts.

CBS has released another clip from the episode:

It looks like NPH will not be on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight after all – Craig’s website says his guests will be Aisha Tyler and Richard Branson.

Remember, for those of you interested in shelling out a few hundred or thousand dollars for something Stella’s receptionist Abby once wore, the auction ends tonight at 9EST.

Interview:: ComingSoon.net has what is allegedly an exclusive interview with Jason Segel, although I’ve definitely seen that Kermit quote before. Either way, the interview focuses on Segel’s upcoming projects: I Love You, Man, Five Year Engagement, and, of course, the Muppet movie.

Weird but [Probably Not] True:: From contactmusic.com: Jason Segel Humiliated By Dominatrix. I really have nothing to add to that.

Video:: MovieWeb has this Forgetting Sarah Marshall interview with Jason Segel:

They’ve also got two behind the scenes videos, as well as interviews with other cast members and clips from the movie. [Forgetting Sarah Marshall opens April 18.]

Link:: whatwouldnphdo.com is a part of the online ad campaign for Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. And the accompanying video, whether official or not, is hilarious:

[Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay opens April 25.]

Jason Segel talks about the nudity in Forgetting Sarah Marshall at contactmusic.com.

I don’t particularly agree with this article – especially not the suggestion that they get rid of the Your Mother teasers – but it does get endless points for the word “Braffy.”

The episode ended with a deadpan “two-minute date,” a neatly choreographed bit of TV business in which Ted took Sarah Chalke out for dinner, a movie, dessert, and a good-night kiss in just two minutes, to the tune of Big Star’s “Thirteen.” So yeah: a little bit twee, a little bit overdesigned, and a little bit unbelievable. In short, a little bit Braffy.
