• Lost returns to ABC Thursday with the first of eight episodes. The network has promised another 40 episodes before the series’ finale in 2010, which will end in a diner in New Jersey.

• Bobby Brown, Sisqo, Dee Snider and Carnie Wilson are among the contestants on Gone Country, CMT’s new reality showthat challenges non-country artists to record a hit single. Things go well until Brown insists on rapping about Ghostbusters in every song.

• Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle, which premieres Feb. 7 on NBC, both feature successful women, scheming underlings and — shocker — enviable wardrobes.

• The Screen Actors Guild honored their own, including TV stars like James Gandolfini and Edie Falco for their work on The Sopranos, and Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey for their roles on 30 Rock. The night’s big losers included the viewers at home, who haven’t seen a new episode of either show in weeks! ABC
