Olivia Munn And Boatload Of B-List Castaways Rescued Off Lake Como By George Clooney

If you, like us, were beside yourselves with worry when National Wiener-Biting Champ [NSFW] Olivia Munn abruptly announced she would be taking some time off from her co-hosting duties on Attack of the Show!, we can offer by way of comfort the above recent photo. We assumed correctly that she was in Europe—only where we thought she'd be found in the tiny German town of Osendorf in Land Sachsen-Anhalt, where the World Wiener-Biting Championships are held every June, she was instead spotted in a small boat on Italy's Lake Como, accompanied by boyfriend and October Road star Bryan Greenberg, trash TV veteran Tate Donovan, and a third, unidentified brunette we'll refer to as Signorina X. All, it turns out, were guests of Lake Como's most famous resident, George Clooney, who'd later invite them to dry their garments on a medieval sock-toaster and retire to Villa Oleandra's dedicated pizza room for an anchovy-and-burrata pie so transcendent, none would ever again question the existence of God.

'Project Runway':There Will Be Tears

By now, we've all heard the news that Project Runway is headed to Lifetime. In advance of the 2009 launch, Intrepid Defamer Videographer™ Molly McAleer has crafted a touching look at the subtle ways in which the show will change when it leaves its current home on the Bravo Network. Here's a hint: keep a box of tissues nearby. [Molls She Wrote]
· Hot tip! Prince, who was just added to the Coachella bill earlier today, will be playing a surprise show at the Green Door tonight. [LAT]
· The only thing more riveting than Olivia Munn's impossibly shiny hair is the sight of Olivia Munn and her impossibly shiny hair in a bikini. [Egotastic!]
· Slate's Kim Masters adds a bit of intrigue to the Valkyrie meltdown. It seems that, get this, the film isn't even finished filming yet! [Slate]
· William Wegman has done it again! [Goldenfiddle]
· Our friends at Videogum mock the ridiculousness of the Quickfire Challenges on Top Chef. Watch it and you'll find yourself craving Salad On A Stick, promise!

Somebody, Anybody, Everybody Scream!

· First there was Ninja Warrior. Then came Unbeatable Banzuke. Now, we are holding our collective breath in hopes that the G4 Network brings Screaming Japanese Man to these fine shores. Until then, this will have to do. [YouTube]
· Hey you guys, do you like popular culture? How about the internet? If you answered "Yes" to both of these questions, we'd like to wholeheartedly recommend that you pay Videogum a visit. Co-written by longtime friends of Defamer Gabe Delahaye and Lindsay "Lindsayism" Robertson, we think it will make for a nice addition to your daily routine. Give it a whirl, wontcha? [Videogum]
· For those of you who enjoy both chocolate products and cannibalism equally (and frankly, who doesn't?), we're fairly certain you're gonna get a kick out of this: Newborns made of chocolate! [Pravda]
· We like Tay Zonday and "Chocolate Rain" quite plenty, but we would never get him tattoed on our arms. Nope, his face deserves Tramp Stamp placement all the way. [Blogger]
· And lastly, while we're not generally the type to toot our own horn, it's worth noting that the impossibly shiny-haired Olivia Munn gave us a shout-out on Attack Of The Show last night. The video clip appears, as things often do here, after the jump. More »

Olivia Munn Wonders Why Lindsay Lohan's Boobs Hang Low

Our fondness for Attack Of The Show's impossibly shiny haired Olivia Munn has been well-documented on these here pages. Aside from our fanboyish appreciation of her considerable physical charms, the thing that we feel separates Munn from the other pretty faces that grace the telly is her fearlessly honest assessments of some of the, shall we say, floozier members of the Young Hollywood set. Take her comments on Lindsay Lohan's boob-baring photoshoot, for example. What other female television color commentator would dare label LiLo as looking "haggard" and then follow that crack by putting her low-hanging boobs on blast? We can answer that for you: none. Olivia Munn, we salute you and your impossibly shiny hair. Stay gold.

Olivia Munn's Fast Times At Weird Science High

· The impossibly shiny-haired co-hostess of Attack Of The Show, Miss Olivia Munn, is the cover girl of this month's Complex magazine. When you're done watching the video from the saucily nostalgic photoshoot, take a look at the final photos in all their Munnsian glory. Or vice versa.
· Ben Foster + Ally Hilfiger = some of the best Polaroids we've seen in awhile.
· If you're looking for somewhere to go swimming after midnight, it's gonna have to be somewhere other than the Standard Hotel. Their request to extend their pool hours just got denied.
· Looks like that Variety ad just may have paid off. Corey Haim is set to shoot some "additional scenes" for Lost Boys 2.
· And lastly, Slate's Dana Stevens takes a look at how the Juno backlash got its start. Yes, burger phones are mentioned.

Mark Burnett And Donald Trump Won't Stop Believin'

· As we have detailed on these pages before, our hearts haven't really been with the Semi-Celebrity Apprentice since The Donald gave Gene Simmons the boot. However, because we are far too lazy to delete the Season Pass from our TiVos, we still find ourselves compelled to watch the show. Thank goodness, otherwise we would have missed the hilariously dated manner in which (spoiler alert!) Big Pussy found himself ejected from last week's show.
· Vulture presents their Top 10 list of inside jokes they'd like to see included in the potential Arrested Development movie.
· Hmmm. Robert Zemeckis' decision to insert Santa Claus into his adaptation of A Christmas Carol is makin' us thirsty. Even more than these pretzels.
· Slashfilm got not one, not two, not three but FOUR separate phone calls from Paramount lawyers today regarding the leakage of Crystal Skull pics.
· And finally, if you find yourself with a spare four minutes and twenty-four seconds, might we suggest spending it on Golden Fiddle? His tribute to the impossibly shiny-haired goddess Olivia Munn is, in a word, best.

Olivia Munn Slips, Falls, Doesn't Sue G4TV For Workman's Comp

G4TV's impossibly shiny haired co-host of Attack Of The Show, Olivia Munn, sure is a trouper. During a bit that aired near the end of Friday's episode, Munn took a nasty spill while writhing about in a shallow pool of baby oil (and you wonder why we DVR the show every night?). Turns out that her slip-n-fall bruised more than just her ego; after the show was completed, paramedics were called to the scene and she was "whisked" away to a local hospital. More »
