So...Just How Did That Dave-Jay-Oprah Lovefest Come Together, Anyway?
The Saints won the Super Bowl. The Ad Bowl went to CBS.
Specifically, to the Late Show, thanks to its jaw-dropping revisit of the successful 2007 spot that featured David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey. As if we needed to remind you, last night's shockfest included an even unlikelier good sport in their midst: Jay Leno.
So, how did this spot come together—and more importantly, why was it not a Dave-Jay-Oprah-Conan lovefest? Funny you should ask...
Lost Sneak Peek: "You Have a Few Questions? Well, So Do We"
Nicely done, Losties! After five seasons of listening quietly to assorted Island crazy people and/or summarily executing mysterious new characters before they could explain themselves, our Lost heroes are finally starting to demand answers from their captors.

Kourtney Kardashian Talks Baby-Daddy: "'Douche' Is the Word That People Tend to Use"
When the blogosphere turns on you, it's one thing. When your de facto in-laws and baby-mama do, it's another. But when a late-night host refers to you as "Super Douche" on national TV, well, that's almost enough to make us feel sorry for Scott Disick.
Still, it's nice to know (as if we didn't already!) who wears the pants in Kourtney Kardashian's family—even if those pants are, by her own determination, 15 pounds off her pre-maternity size.
But if there's one upshot to humiliation at the hands of Jimmy Kimmel, it's that the world finally discovered that Disick isn't just some Ed Hardy-clothed layabout. He's an Ed Hardy-clothed layabout with a job at the manufacturers of Quick Trim, Kim and Khloé's weight-loss supplement of choice.
By day, anyway. By night, he's "Super Douche." Talk about a sucker-punch.

Grey's Anatomy Sneak Peeks: Who's the Boss?
This Thursday on Grey's Anatomy, find out what happens after Derek's (Patrick Dempsey) coup d'état against Chief Webber! With his Dreamy new administration in place, he's ready to crack skulls at Seattle Grace! OK, maybe not, but that's kind of regime change that Alex (Justin Chambers) is hoping for.
In other Grey's news, Sloan (Eric Dane) is still punishing Little Grey (Chyler Leigh) for their mutual indiscretions and Mer (Ellen Pompeo) has daddy issues (more, again, still), while Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Teddy (Kim Raver) continue to tussle over Owen (Kevin McKidd).
Press play above to see McDreamy make his inaugural address as Chief of Surgery, and then click in for five more clips.
Gerard Butler's Ongoing Quest to Help Haiti
Gerard Butler is more than just a pretty face.
After participating in the Hope for Haiti Now telethon, The Bounty actor joined Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem and Daniel Craig for a brunch at director Paul Haggis' house. Together, they helped raise $4.5 million for Artists for Peace and Justice, a new organization working to bring relief to the disaster-stricken Caribbean nation.
And then just last night, Butler hit another Artists for Peace and Justice fundraiser with cofounder Maria Bello in Santa Monica.
Keep reading to see what Gerry told us; plus, find out what another Hollywood hunkster is doing to assist in relief and recovery efforts...
Not Even Oprah Can Stop America From Hating Jay
It's a familiar enough formula.
National scandal erupts, guilty party begins national tour of apology, and, if they're really lucky (or really controversial), they end up on Oprah Winfrey's couch.
But it takes a special kind of guy to elicit the acknowledgment from the otherwise zen talk queen that not only does America pretty much hate you, but you've done the unthinkable: namely, disappointed Oprah herself.
Well, folks, today Jay Leno was that guy.
Mel Gibson Really Loves Tiger. No, More Than That
If there's one guy you want on your side during a personal—and, let's be honest, couldn't-be-more-public—crisis, it's Mel Gibson. Um, right?
Well, Tiger Woods' cup surely runneth over, because for the second time in as many weeks, the best punchline of awards season has seen fit to run to the golfer's aid.
And to hear Gibson tell it, theirs is a bromance for the ages. Funny, all that fuss about the mistresses, no one realized there was a mister waiting in the wings...

Leno Talks Letterman, Keeps Quiet on CoCo
You can bet that Jay Leno was among the millions who tuned in for Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show swan song Friday. Not that he was ready to talk about it last night (hey, if your name's not Oprah, he's not chatting).
But everybody loves a good dog fight and, luckily, Leno didn't show quite as much discretion when asked about his once and future late-night rival David Letterman.
Idol's "Pants" Jinxes Vikings...and Jumps Shark?
If it's inspirational fight songs they were after, the Minnesota Vikings really should've stuck with Prince.
Instead, the Brett Favre-led, well, losers opted to take their motivation from implausible viral sensation Larry Platt, the 62-year-old American Idol reject responsible for introducing "Pants on the Ground" to an unsuspecting—and apparently undiscerning—nation.
Maybe they had it coming.

Miley Cyrus Lures a Beardless Joaquin Phoenix Out of Hiding
The answer to the question "Has anyone seen Joaquin Phoenix?" is an emphatic "Yes, Miley Cyrus has."
The bizarre yet highly watchable duo, together with Liv Tyler, have joined forces for a rather charming PSA to both raise awareness for the suicide-prevention group To Write Love On Her Arms and secure the organization $1 million.
The clean-shaven and—more surprisingly, given his last recorded appearance—coherent Phoenix plays the role of a flummoxed Luddite who yearns for someone who is "entertaining and fun" and, most importantly, "chattery" to teach him how to log on to the site.
That sounds like a job for just one girl. Too bad Joaquin's never heard of her.
Conan Should Have Seen It Coming; Howard, Artie, Norm Predicted Demise of "Redheaded Rube"
The regulars over on The Howard Stern Show have been called plenty of names over the years.
Modern day Nostradamuses (Nostradami?) was never one of them. Until now.
Which is why it's all the more impressive that Artie Lange, go-to guest Norm Macdonald, and yes, even Howard himself, once took turns to warn a Late Night-era CoCo—rather prophetically, as it turns out—about the dangers that lay ahead.
