Is This Love? [The Clip Show]

Defamer's Week In Review: Sweethearts were lost, found, exploited and uncorked. Reminisce with us after the jump, and enjoy your Valentine's Day weekend! · The ugly Chris Brown-Rihanna saga broke last weekend, blew up all week, spawned the text-message mystery of the young year and will apparently be settled by Jay-Z. Any questions? · Mickey Rourke may show up stag and guzzle awards-show Champagne from the bottle these days, but we prefer to remember the good old baby-faced brooder days. · Joaquin Phoenix's Two Lovers director regretfully confessed to greasing his star's slippery slope into the Letterman Celebrity Grinder. · What's the only thing that could enliven Slumdog Millionaire's BAFTA monopoly? A hungry Sharon Stone cougar attack on its star, natch. · This week in untoward liaisons: Madonna and Jesus. Salma Hayek and an African baby. Craigslisters and at least one Disney or Warners exec. · Sure, TV on the Radio sounded rotten on SNL. But at least Radiohead and the USC Marching Band didn't kick their asses at the Grammys. · Hey — Observe and Report looks pretty good! Inglourious Basterds looks... not terrible! And then there's Osbournes Reloaded. Watch at your own risk. · Tough talent decisions gave American Idol's judges fits, but at least everyone can agree on the exquisite taste of Paula Abdul's new skull-plate jewelry. · ABC experienced some turnover — Katherine Heigl (maybe) and Nicollette Sheridan are out, Bob Fosse and Martha Graham are in. · Oprah Winfrey added Dr. Oz and Gwyneth Paltrow to her mortal-enemies list. · Mike White traveled the world with his father on The Amazing Race and lived to tell — us!

Missing Disney Channel Star Just Needed Some Time To Find Himself [You Had Us Worried Sick!]

After an internet-wide tweenhunt for missing That's So Raven star Orlando Brown turned up virtually every known Orlando in existence (including former Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Orlando Brown) save the Disney Channel star in question, people began to fear the worst. We're thrilled to report, however, that the young actor has resurfaced, and is doing just fine: [Brown said] he simply "needed to be alone." In a statement, Brown, 20, thanked fans for their support and apologized for not informing anyone of his whereabouts for over 24 hours. Brown, who is a musician as well as an actor, said he dropped out of sight after a problem last week involving a scheduled performance at Club Tattoo in Los Angeles. After the incident, the statement said, he "felt a little lost and needed to get away." "It got a bit overwhelming and I needed to be alone," he said. We know the feeling: When our all-girl Joan Baez punk cover band Diamonds+Rust got bumped from a lineup at The Smell recently over some bullshit "scheduling miscommunication" (yeah...right), we weren't able to see anyone for days, ignoring the 28 missed calls from our increasingly frantic publicist as we set out on a journey of personal discovery that involved seeing how many Jumbo Jet-Puffed Marshmallows we could cram into our mouths as ABC's "How to Be A...Zillionaire!" blasted through the headphones of a Sony Sports Walkman. Eventually, we got over it, and so will Brown. Orlando Brown Turns Up, Apologizes for Disappearance [People]

Emmys: Golden Boy Justin Timberlake Can Stick His Dick In A Box And Win An Award

There was perhaps no better moment in capturing the wildly divergent career paths taken by former Mickey Mouse Club co-stars and lovers Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears than this weekend, when Timberlake not only swept the same MTV trophy ceremony on which Spears hammered the last press-on nail into her comeback coffin, but also managed to score an Emmy award for a boner-joke parody song done as a lark for a Saturday Night Live guest-hosting stint: "I think it's safe to say that when we first set out to make this song, we were all thinking 'Emmy!'" Samberg said in accepting the award Saturday for best original music and lyrics."The other thing we were thinking was, 'Hey! Here's this young up and comer, Justin Timberlake, who is clearly very talented and could clearly use a break,'" Samberg said. "So, Justin, if you're out there, congrats to you, kid.'" Samberg, of course, was speaking with tongue firmly planted in cheek, as Timberlake's meteoric rise from boy band member to full-fledged pop king was all but cemented this year with the release of another single in which he sang of "bringing sexy back"--a catchy companion piece to Box that wisely suggested that even with the most carefully chosen and personal of Christmas presents, it's always best to include a gift receipt.

What 'Lost' Donkey Wheel Do We Need To Turn To Make 'The Fray' Disappear? [Lost]

newVideoPlayer("/lost_promo_2.flv", 506, 423,""); Because when it comes to melodramatic Lost promos set to the essential catalogue of The Fray—the soundtrack of our lives, really—too much is never enough, we bring you the seventh Lost trailer, featuring some rearranged footage you've already seen and that song you love so much! (This one doesn't actually feature the band, though fret not: We understand they do crash land on the magically reappearing island, where they are swiftly put to work putting out a subpar Nickelback single every 108 minutes—or everything will explode!) In case you've forgotten where we've left off last season, giant, swooshing intertitles helpfully remind us that "6 WERE RESCUED...THE REST...WE HAVE NO F&*%@ING CLUE BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THAT SORTED OUT." Needless to say, we're so there—hairy-chested Jack or not. [Lost]

Striking Writers March On 'Desperate Housewives' Set [Disrupting The Housewives]

Earlier today, we'd expressed a now very naive-seeming wish that WGA members and the Companies they're protesting might find a way to get through the remainder of the strike without further incidents of unnecessary, cause-undermining violence. It is with considerable sadness that we note KTLA's story (video here or here) about a renegade band of Guild picketers, who, upon receiving word of an in-progress Desperate Housewives location shoot earlier today, marched on the set, hoping to disrupt filming. But when they found that peaceful picketing alone proved ineffective in achieving their chaos-sowing goals, they raided the house inside which star Eva Longoria was shooting a scene, taking the actress hostage. Unfortunately for Longoria, an ABC executive visiting the set refused to negotiate for her release, defiantly telling her Guild captors, "Go ahead and fucking kill her. You want Teri Hatcher, too? We're shutting down production tomorrow anyway, and we'd be happy to get out from underneath their contracts." Longoria, we fear, may never be heard from again.

Trade Roundup: Hackford's Begging Finally Induces Oscar-Winning Wife To Work With Him Again

· Ray director Taylor Hackford convinces "very busy" wife Helen Mirren and semi-retired actor Joe Pesci to star in Love Ranch, the heartwarming tale of the man who established Nevada's first legal brothel, his madam spouse, and the boxer gunned down by a bodyguard for his suspected sexual involvement with the aforementioned Mustang Ranch proprietress. [Variety] · Justice League director George Miller is auditioning virtually every young actor in Hollywood (Adam Brody! Minka Kelly! Mary Elizabeth Winstead!) during a "marathon casting session" running through today, hoping that the cattle call will help him fill coveted parts like Superman, Batman, the Flash and Wonder Woman with talent cheap enough to stay together for several movies. [THR] · Led Zeppelin is finally making their music available online, with the band's entire catalogue hitting the internets on November 13. Also: the "Black Dog" ringtone you've been wanting since you were sixteen will soon be made available. [Variety] · CBS wins Sunday night after the Patriots-Cowboys game runs long, though ABC's Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters both put up better numbers than last week.

Straight To Flopz With Starz's 'Crash' [Watch, TiVo, Kill]

It's Friday night, so the memory of anything you watch will likely be drowned in a pool of Heineken Light. Probably a positive thing. WATCH Crash [10 PM, Starz] - Starz joins the original scripted drama club with this new series based on the Dave Matthews Band sex ballad, er 2005 Academy Award-winning film. The premiere episode opens with Dennis Hopper's outlandish record producer talking to his penis and unfolds into various Angelenos occupying unstable positions on the cop-criminal continuum. We've looked through the channel guide for ten minutes and are still not sure we have Starz. Forbidden fruit is always sweetest. The Real Housewives of Atlanta [8 PM, Bravo] - As Molls & Co. suggested yesterday, you'll want to catch up on the first two episodes of TRHOA. Like the O.C. and N.Y. editions, we get to watch the trophy wives shop, attend each other's lavish soirees and get real about being rich. While many Americans affected by the imploding economy would be turned off by a monstrous birthday cake shaped like a Louis Vuitton purse, we like to fantasize about buying a $70,000 SUV with a personal check. TiVo Saturday Night Live [10 PM, E!] - Will Ferrell's return to the show as guest host in May 2005. Best sketches: "Celebrity Jeopardy" and "Robert Goulet Ringtones." You probably laughed a little at those sketch titles, which is more than you've done for any non-political or non-Kristin Wiig sketches in a long time. Wife Swap [8 pm, ABC] - A frugal lobsterwoman trades kids with a perfectly coiffed and manicured mom. Cast your TiVo and pull up when you see tears, frustrated husbands and the final showdown. Mad Money [8 pm, CNBC] - After the craziest week ever on Wall Street, Jim Cramer is likely to be tackling the financial issues of the day with more destructive violence than normal. FF to the Lightning Round to see if Cramer upgrades The Bluth Company from Triple Sell to Don't Buy. KILL 20/20 [10 PM, ABC] - The news mag plans to kill our buzz with its "Politically I

It's Official! 'Rosie's Cavalcade of Talent and Celebrity Debasement' Coming Soon to NBC [Spice Of Life]

So Jay Leno must have said no to that primetime variety show NBC had in mind for him, because Defamer HQ opened for business this morning with flocks of winged monkeys dropping pamphlets promoting Rosie's Variety Show, Rosie O'Donnell's live, hour-long mash of song, dance, comedy and teeth-gritting celebrity cameos set for a Nov. 26 trial run before launching into a full season some time in 2009. The show comprises NBC's best laid plans and worst-kept secret in one handy bundle; O'Donnell has been in talks with the 'Cock at least since July, conjuring a catch-all talent show/musical comedy free-for-all just in case Leno defected to ABC. And while Leno's plans still aren't officially set, Rosie and her new network allies should encounter little trouble throwing together the hot, hodgepodgy mess in a month and a half. Behold what NBC brass is calling "the YouTube of variety shows": The hourlong event will include celebrity guests, musical acts, comedy skits and a contest both for in-studio and at-home auds, the network said. David Friedman (Last Comic Standing, Last Call With Carson Daly) will exec produce with O'Donnell. "We want to show people that variety can be done in a new and inventive way for 2008," said Craig Plestis, NBC Entertainment's exec VP for alternative programming, development and specials. "We hope to do it in ways you haven't seen before. It's going to be the YouTube of variety shows." [...] Details of the show were still being ironed out, but Plestis said a repertory cast will likely populate the show's sketches, and a house band is being considered. Other details, such as marketing partners, the primetime giveaway and celeb guests, will be unveiled later. No rush, NBC! Worst case scenario, in-house talent like Ben Silverman and Jeff Zucker are good for a sketch apiece (though we'd consider keeping Zucker away from a live audience just in case), and Tina Fey is always looking for another show to overtake at Rockefeller Center. And in the end, shou

Jonas Brothers Poised To Annoy, Baffle Adults [Millenials]

Since the Disney Teen Idol Factory's Miley Cyrus model has developed a "slutty photos" malfunction, the company is ramping up the marketing on its male prototypes, The Jonas Brothers. Like Cyrus, the band has sold millions of albums but you probably can't name a single one of their songs unless you spend a lot of time around 12 year-old girls. According to The New York Times, the trio features none of Cyrus's dangerous hints of a sex drive. On this particular May evening, the band members wore “purity” rings, reflecting their stated intentions to save themselves sexually for marriage. Parents, prepare to buy your daughter a silver ring to match her blonde Hannah Montana wig. Because there will be no escaping the brothers. The brothers — Kevin, 20, Joseph, 18, and Nick, 15 — are to be fully unleashed on the American public starting Tuesday night, when a preview of their new movie, “Camp Rock,” will be made available on Disney Channel on Demand, a limited-availability service offered to some Time Warner Cable, Cablevision and Verizon customers. On Friday the movie will begin its run on the Disney Channel, with an audio simulcast on Radio Disney, followed by broadcasts on ABC on Saturday and the ABC Family channel on Sunday. While Camp Rock sounds like a perfectly innocent Critical Studies thesis on the life of Freddy Mercury, the Times warns that it is just the beginning of the Jonas Brothers onslaught. With a new video, 46-date North American tour and 3-D theatrical film release on the horizon, we advise you to make the most of your remaining hours of freedom. Go to the beach. Spend time with your significant other. Because once Camp Rock debuts, there's no escaping our new, adorable overlords. [Photo Credit: Wire Image] Summer Advisory: A Jonas Front Looms
