Tops of the night
'Miss Teen USA 2006'
7-9 p.m. on NBC (Channel 5)
Performances by Ashley Parker Angel, JoJo and Lucas Grabeel ("High School Musical") highlight the teen pageant, live from Palm Springs, Calif.
Damien Fahey (MTV's "Total Request Live") and Shaun Robinson ("Access Hollywood") are this year's hosts.
Breanna Lynn Huellinghorst, a student at Fort Zumwalt West High School in O'Fallon, Mo., represents Missouri in the pageant. She was crowned Miss Missouri Teen USA last December in Kansas City.
Previous Miss Teen USA winners, NBC informs us, include Vanessa Minnillo (1998), Bridgette Wilson-Sampras (1990) and Kelly Hu (1985). The current Miss Teen USA, Allie LaForce, is a varsity athlete and self-proclaimed tomboy from Vermilion, Ohio. She'll crown her successor after contestants from 50 states and the District of Columbia compete in swimsuit, evening gown and interview categories.
Also of note
'House'
7 and 8 p.m. on Fox (Channel 2)
'Gilmore Girls'
7 and 8 p.m. on the WB (Channel 11)
'Veronica Mars'
7 and 8 p.m. on UPN (Channel 46)
Double repeats of three terrific dramas (or two dramas and one dramedy) go head-to-head-to-head in the 7-9 p.m. slot.
The "House" rerun is a two-parter in which Forman fights for his life.
"Gilmore" fans probably have seen every episode but might need to start catching up with "Veronica Mars." The extremely compatible shows are paired Tuesday nights on the new CW network this fall.
'The Real World'
9 p.m. on MTV
The hurricane-plagued edition, No. 17 for the MTV classic, wraps up tonight, as does
"The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" (9 p.m. on Oxygen).
