Nostalgia Wave
THE '90S
Watching Re-runs of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch & Felicity.
Sabrina had a good run of celebrity guest stars on the show.
Some of these include: Britney Spears, Raquel Welch, Nicole Scherzinger (in then band Eden's Crush), Paula Abdul, Drew Carey, Penn & Teller (as recurring guest stars in the 1st series), Davy Jones from The Monkees, Daniel Bedingfield, Sally Jessie Raphael, Andy Roddick, Donald Faison, Brian Austin Green, Eddie Cibrian, Kenan & Kel, Carson Daly & Randy Travis.
There was also a lot of sports stars but I'm none too familiar with American sports names so I couldn't possibly say how high their level of fame is.
Whilst I've named a few musicians already, some other big names are:
Avril Lavigne
Hanson
Coolio
Ashanti
Usher
Sixpence non the Richer
&
Goo Goo Dolls
Mildly interesting Sabrina trivia: The actor who played her father (Robby Benson) is the voice of the Beast in Beauty & the Beast.

Film of the Day: Classic
The Opposite Sex (1956)
June Allyson, Joan Collins, Leslie Nielsen, Dolores Gray, Agnes Moorehead. Although not considered particularly great at the time, I think it's started to gain more credibility, perhaps mainly due to nostalgia.
Not as good, however, as the original film adaptation, The Women (1939), with Joan Crawford, which featured an all-female cast, so much so that even all but a few props were also female, including animals.
