Everybody loves a wedding episode, but there was so much turmoil during the Friday Night Lights third-season finale “Tomorrow Blues” that the marriage of Billy and Mindy was just one part of the story. In fact, the biggest moment for fans came during the wedding – and it wasn’t when the groom kissed the bride. The wedding is where Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) learns that he would no longer be coaching the Dillon Panthers. For fans of the series, VIP Fan Auctions has an amazing opportunity to make you feel as if you were on the FNL set when you heard that Wade Aikman was taking over the coach’s job – the site is offering one of the screen-worn cowboy groomsman suits featured in the episode. The suit is the genuine article – and certain to create a stir if you decide to wear it out for a night on the town. Check out the details by clicking here and place your bid on this piece of Friday Night Lights history today!

And don’t miss out on the chance to bid on a number of additional FNL screen-worn wardrobe items at the Friday Night Lights page at VIP Fan Auctions.

If Desperate Housewives were to move from the television screen to the silver screen after the series wraps its eighth and final season this spring, the show would go on without one of its key players. Eva Longoria, who has played Gabrielle Solis since the series debut in 2004 told E! Online that she has no interest in reprising the role for a Desperate Housewives film. “I’m not open to a movie, no. I wouldn’t even pay money to go to a movie when I could see these characters and these girls in my own home,” Longoria told the website. “It would be nice to close this chapter.” Before the Desperate Housewives saga comes to a close, fans of the series still have an opportunity to own a piece of Wisteria Lane at VIP Fan Auctions. In fact, one of Gabby’s trademark Juicy Couture designer sweat suits – worn by Longoria on-screen in the sixth season finale “I Guess This Is Goodbye” (pictured above) – is currently on the auction block (bidding closes Tuesday). Don’t miss your opportunity to raid the Desperate Housewives wardrobe before you kiss them good-bye. As Longoria told E! Online: “All good things must come to an end.”

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman (who plays Lynette Scavo) was named one of the top celebrity Tweeters by TV Guide. “These people are funny, candid, responsive to their fans, and keep self-promotion to a minimum,” the magazine reported. “They engage us by getting into friendly-spats with other celebs (a la @JoelMcHale and @Snooki), and tweeting behind-the-scenes photos, as @FelicityHuffman did recently. Check out Felicity’s Twitter feed – and don’t miss out on the chance to own a piece of her Desperate Housewives wardrobe, including the stunning GiGi Young designer dress that Huffman wore in the seventh season episode “Searching” (pictured above), which is currently on the auction block (at a jaw-droppingly low price!) at VIP Fan Auctions!

“We’re not done with Friday Night Lights,” executive producer Peter Berg told MTV News earlier this month. He explained that the script for a new Friday Night Lights film by FNL executive producer Jason Katims is nearly complete, and Berg (who will direct the film) indicated that one storyline would see Coach Eric Taylor (played by Kyle Chandler) mirror the headline-grabbing story of former Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach.

“[Katims] has come up with a really great storyline that parallels what happened to Mike Leach, one of my heroes, a coach at Texas Tech who was unjustly fired and unjustly accused of mistreating a player with a concussion, which was proven to not have been the case. He’s now at Washington State getting ready for what I think will be a great redemption story,” Berg told MTV. “It would be critical that we get Kyle (Chandler) and Connie (Britton) [onboard for the film] — we anchored the show around them — and then bring in Riggins, Tyra, Lyla and all other characters as we could get them. But the idea is to really revolve it around the coach.”

Leach appeared in a 2009 FNL episode “After the Fall,” in which he delivered a pep talk to Coach Taylor.

As fans eagerly await the FNL film, there are a number of wardrobe items from the series currently available at the Friday night Lights page at VIP Fan Auctions. Each item was worn on-screen – including a robe worn by Kyle Chandler, a sweater worn by Minka Kelly (who played Lyla Garrity), a shirt worn by Connie Britton (who played Tami Taylor). There is also plenty of Dillon Panthers gear available. Check out all of the FNL auctions by clicking here – and place your bid today!

It’s fitting that SGU star Robert Carlyle directed the second-season episode “Pathogen” because his character, Dr. Rush, also took control of The Destiny – without informing Col. Everett Young (played by Louis Ferreira) that he was doing so. While Young notices that the good doctor’s behavior is a bit out of sorts, it isn’t until several episodes later that Young discovers Rush’s serious breach of protocol. Whether Rush’s actions were justified or not, it was a pivotal episode – and one Stargate fan has the opportunity to own a piece of Stargate history by wining the auction for the Icarus uniform Col. Young wore on-screen in the episode. Visit the Stargate page at VIP Fan Auctions to place your bid on this uniform – and other Stargate props, wardrobe and production items – today. But hurry – the auction ends soon!

When Katherine Mayfair (played by Dana Delaney) returned to Wisteria Lane (with a dark past), she was the perfect foil for Bree as the two battled for homemaker supremacy and eventually became partners in a catering business. Katherine’s ultimate rival, however, would be Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher) as she battled for – and won – the affections of Susan’s ex, Mike Delfino (James Denton). When Mike and Susan reconciled, Katherine began to unravel – and turned her attention to seducing everyone’s favorite plumber before finding a new love and relocating to Paris. In fact, the sultry ensemble pictured above was worn on-screen by Katherine in a bid to tempt Mike in the sixth-season episode “Don’t Walk on the Grass” – and it’s now available to the highest bidder on the Desperate Housewives page at VIP Fan Auctions.

As an attorney on Law & Order and L&O: Special Victims Unit, Mike Cutter (played by Linus Roache) has been known to bend the rules in the pursuit of justice. And while his official reprimand for practicing law without technically having completed his bachelor’s degree may keep him out of the D.A. hall of fame fact, that isn’t going to keep fans away from placing a bid on the character’s baseball glove and unique collection of baseballs. Featured on-screen in multiple episodes, these props – including an NYPD baseball and cricket ball (both pictured on Cutter’s desk above) – as well as the character’s official Rawlings major league baseball and baseball with a map of New York City (plus the glove) – are now available at VIP Fan Auctions. Click here to see more information and photos of the props. Pitchers and catchers have already reported for spring training – don’t get left behind! Place your bid today!
