Mega Buzz on Housewives, Terminator, The Closer & More!
I'd love it if you could give a "hint" as to whom on Wisteria Lane Desperate Housewives' Dave Williams has a vendetta against? - Barbara Matt: Hint, coincidence or sloppy character-naming? You decide. George-the-nutty-pharmacist's last name was Williams. I need scoop about what is going on with Cameron on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Sookie on True Blood. - Sarah Matt: Tackling Terminator first, are you ready for some girl-on-girl action? Because the Oct. 20 episode finds Cameron slugging it out with another fierce fembot - all within the confines of an elevator. I need a cigarette already.Mickey: I'm going to give you a non-spoiler spoiler about True Blood. I accidentally found out who the serial killer is the other day, and it kind of broke my heart. (Hint: It's one of the "good" guys.) Have anything juicy on Gossip Girl?  - KateMickey: Remember how Nate and his mom helped The Captain escape prosecution? Well, I'm hearing that Mr. Archibald (Sam Robards) will reward their loyalty by… double-crossing them! Which is pretty crummy considering Nate almost became a manwhore to fix the family's money problems. Thanks, Dad!

Exclusive Details! Vegas Star Braves the Jungle
It's a sad world where Las Vegas' reliable Mike gets second billing behind Rosie Perez. Yet that's what happened last week at the TCA press tour, when NBC trumpeted the guest-casting of the sometimes polarizing Latina on Lipstick Jungle, then virtually added, as an aside, "Oh, and James Lesure, too."How does the Vegas vet fit into the Jungle's sophomore season? Sources tell me Lesure will be playing the role of Griffin, boss to both Kim Raver's Nico and Brooke Shields' Wendy. I'm also hearing that over the course of Lesure's multi-episode run, Griffin might strike up a certain chemistry with Nico, though it might not necessarily lead to (her busy) boudoir. What do you say, Vegas fans? With Josh off doing Transformers 2 and the reunion movie pretty darn squashed, are you glad to see "Mike" back on TV? — Matt Mitovich
Mary Tyler Moore Welcomed to the Jungle
She can turn the world on with a smile, but can she turn more viewers on to a sophomore-season drama? Seven-time Emmy winner Mary Tyler Moore has been booked for a multi-episode arc on NBC's Lipstick Jungle, playing mom to Brooke Shields' Wendy. Moore's alter ego, Joyce, is a retired high-powered executive who forces Wendy to question the ideal of "Having it all." And then a clown named Chuckles dies and they attend the funeral together. — Matt Mitovich

Oh yes.
OK, so I am really not ...
Question: OK, so I am really not feeling Cashmere Mafia or Lipstick Jungle. Do I need to cancel my season passes on these two, or should I give them another shot? Answer: Cancel Cashmere, but let Lipstick linger a few more weeks. Or at the very least through tomorrow's episode, which features both a rollicking guest turn by Lorraine Bracco and an adulterous Kim Raver having sex with a half-naked Robert Buckley. Speaking of the latter, next week the jig is nearly up when they do it on the floor above her magazine's photo shoot. And let's just say there's a window up there. A big window.

NBC's Lipstick Jungle Promises Sexy and Chic
The when: Enter the Jungle Thursday, Feb. 7, at 10 pm/ET on NBC.Why watch?: If you were a devoted Sex and the City fan then you'll love Lipstick Jungle, as both began as novels written by Candace Bushnell. With hip and powerful females at the center of the plot it's sure to become a staple on your TV schedule or at least on the DVR. Lipstick also has a lot of buzz surrounding it and both critics and viewers have been wondering for months whether it will be better than its competitor, Cashmere Mafia, which was created by SATC scribe Darren Star. Sure, it's catchphrase — "It's a jungle out there, dress accordingly" — is a little cheesy, but the show promises not to be, with its chic wardrobe, sexy plotlines and witty dialogue. Who's who: Three powerful women who are best friends — Wendy, Nico and Victory — have just been named among New York's 50 most powerful women. Wendy Healy, a film executive, is played by Brooke Shields. Victory Ford, a fashion designer, is pl...

Kim Raver and Pals Lead Jungle Expedition to Saks
It was a jungle outside of Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City Thursday night — a Lipstick Jungle, that is. The stars of NBC's new drama braved below-freezing temperatures as they walked the red carpet in gorgeous sleeveless dresses. But even the frigid temps weren't enough for Kim Raver to stop gushing about the city the show calls home. "Being born and raised in New York City, I love [shooting here]," she says. "It's such an energized city. When you're shooting on the street you have it all there and it's really exciting." Once Raver and costars Brooke Shields and Lindsay Price made it inside Saks, they headed up to the shoe department to mingle with other celebs like Matthew Perry, who snuck in without doing any press, and The Office's Angela Kinsey. Partygoers grooved to tunes by Paul Sevigny (yes, Chloe's brother) and sipped on some cocktails — but only clear ones. The white carpet of Saks prevented anything with color from being served. But luckily the party didn't pr...

The network is giving TiVo subscribers the chance to download it free at Amazon's Unbox from Jan. 31 to Feb. 6. If the curiosity about the new Candace Bushnell series is killing you, here's your chance to get ahead of the game.And the best part about it? Our own Mitovich says that Lipstick "isn't nearly as unwatchable as Cashmere Mafia." — Anna Dimond
What is wrong with you? I ...
Question: What is wrong with you? I loved Cashmere Mafia! It was so real and honest. Looks much better than Lipstick Jungle. Answer: Actually, I found Lipstick (premiering Feb. 7) to be the superior Sex and the City rip-off, but that's not saying much since I loathed Cashmere. With the exception of Lindsay Price's vapid and utterly annoying fashion designer — a role that should've gone to Melinda Clarke — Lipstick's females are more interesting. Come to think of it, Kim Raver's morally conflicted mag editor has more dimensions than all of Cashmere's Barbie dolls combined. And wait until you lay your peepers on her boy toy, played by Fashion House's Robert Buckley (or as I like to call him, Scott Speedman and Jake Gylle
NBC Strikes Back with "More Original Programming Than 1Q 2007"

But on a hopefully positive note, striking writers and producers agreed to a fourth day of contract talks today, which hadn't even been scheduled. Come on, guys, get 'er done! — Ben Katner
Sopranos' Bracco Welcomed to the Jungle
Being a mobster's shrink seems to have been quite the panacea for Lorraine Bracco, who memorably played Tony Soprano's put-upon psychotherapist on the HBO hit. Not only has she just finished shooting a Lifetime pilot called Long Island Confidential (in which she plays the mom of a homicide detective), but TV Guide is told she'll show up in a recurring role in Lipstick Jungle, NBC midseason series based on Candace Bushnell's follow-up to Sex and the City. Bracco will portray the duplicitous nemesis of the movie studio chief played by series star Brooke Shields. Looks like she might have learned a lesson or two from her former patient. — Ileane Rudolph
