Attention, astronauts: If you see a huge beam of light coming from somewhere near Donny Osmond's house in Utah, be not afraid.

"I'm probably putting it on top of my house with a spotlight on it for all the world to see," Donny told us tonight of his shiny new disco ball trophy.

We hung out backstage after tonight's live season finale of Dancing With the Stars, where Donny was crowned the winner and was downright giddy.

"I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy right now!" he sang out. "I'm on cloud nine!"

And he wasn't the only one beaming...

Fox's hit medical-mysteries series House is mixing it up next week, and you Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) fans are going to love the twist!

Instead of Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) being the lead investigator on a health crisis, sidekick James "Jim" Wilson is the man at the center of the show, and Celebrity Jeopardy! standout/The West Wing star Josh Malina plays the patient who Wilson must save.

As executive producer Katie Jacobs told us earlier this year, "We have this upcoming episode where House is to Wilson as Wilson is usually to House. Like he'll be in the middle of something and House will drop by, or he'll go see House in the middle of a differential diagnosis meeting, and we'll never even know what they were working on. I'm excited about it."

For an exclusive sneak peek video of Robert Sean Leonard's star turn, which airs Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. on Fox, press play above!

• Bones: Approximately 6 million years after we all started begging her, Zooey Deschanel is finally guest starring on her big sister Emily Deschanel's show, Bones. Zooey plays Brennan's wacky cousin Margaret in "The Goop in the Girl," which airs Thursday, Dec. 10. Can't wait! (Check out our TV Stunt Casting gallery for another shot of Zooey D.'s long-awaited TV gig.)

• Coming Soon: Fox just released the premiere dates for its midseason shows. Possibly unbelievably bad reincarnation drama Past Life premieres on Feb. 11, wait-and-see actioner Human Target premieres Jan. 17 (it has Mark Valley and Chi McBride, but still...), and probably totally cute comedy Sons of Tucson premieres March 14. Any thoughts from the peanut gallery on this trifecta?

• Lie To Me: Executive producer Shawn Ryan tweets, "#LieToMe picked up for a back 9! Thanks for all the support everyone!" Now, Q's for you LTM fans: (a) What do you love most about this show? and (b) What kind of scoop do you want on it, if any?

• The Oprah Winfrey Show: The times they are a-changin'. A Harpo Productions rep tells HuffPo that Oprah's not going to do a holiday "Favorite Things" episode this year. Madness!

The Visitors are leaving for a while. (You know what they say about guests and fish stinking after three days.) Tonight is the last new episode of V's premiere pod of episodes, and it's a doozy. There are major reveals about the future (think circle-of-life type stuff), someone gets tortured to death, we learn more about the so-called "fifth column," we learn that the Vs are out to get us using a method that would make Bill Maher nod and go "Toldya!," and, oh yeah, Lisa (Laura Vandervoort) brings Tyler (Logan Huffman) home to meet her "mother." Eek!

What's to come after all of tonight's alien madness is said and done? We caught up with superfoxy alien babe Morena Baccarin for an exclusive chat, and she hinted that things (maybe even big romantic things) are heating up for Anna. Here's what we learned:

OK, so apparently, all the TV networks simultaneously noticed Tuesday nights have been a bit of a dead zone in terms of hipster TV. Yes, CBS has lots of high-rated shows that night, and FX has had Sons of Anarchy, and ABC is trying its darnedest with V, but compared to the utter gridlock of Mondays and Thursdays, Tuesday TV has been blissfully low-stress when it comes to must-see shows.

No more. Fox just released its 2010 TV schedule and it has placed Glee's new episodes (which premiere April 13) on Tuesday at 9 p.m. Unfortunately, Tuesdays at 9 p.m. just so happen to be when ABC is putting the final season of Lost. Not to mention there are already plenty of Melrose Place, NCIS: L.A. and The Biggest Loser fans out of there, and their faves all already air at that time.

Brutal, man. Our house has four DVRs total, so we can probably survive this without picking up a third dual-tuner TiVo at Best Buy, but most people don't have such a gluttonous appetite for TV. Therefore: Choices must be made.

Take our poll below and then hit the comments with your thoughts.

Glee: Jenna Ushkowitz can sing! In tomorrow night's episode of Glee, the stutterer fibber you fans know as Tina will finally get her first solo, Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors," which is already making its way around the Internets, and we can't stop listening to it this morning. (Hear it above, and don't tell our bosses.) The episode also will feature Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious," John Lennon's "Imagine" and a cast mashup of Broadway's "Hair" with Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love." Anyone else hoping the last one is sung by Artie and Tina? In a hot tub?

Fringe: Our inside sources confirm that Fringe will be put on a temporary hiatus for seven weeks beginning Feb. 11. In its place, Fox will air the midseason drama Past Life.

Question: If nearly every fan out there thinks you're going to be killed off of a hit television show, what do you do?

You talk to E! about it, naturally!

At least, that's what Kyle MacLachlan chose to do after rumors started swirling that he will be the "fan favorite" who will die in a fiery plane crash on Desperate Housewives.

So is his character Orson (Mr. Marcia Cross) going six feet under? We already reported that—Spoiler Alert!—he and Bree (Marcia) will be trapped inside their house. Hmmm...

Oh, and what's the latest on Glee and Gossip Girl?

Could Betty (America Ferrera) be pregnant?

And seriously, what the bejeezus is up with Lost?

We have it all in the latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Frankie in Atlanta: I've figured it out. It's Orson who is going to die on Desperate Housewives, right?

Looks like the Cox-Arquette family is moving past the "family matter" that temporarily halted production on Courteney's new ABC comedy, Cougar Town.

A source close to the series just told us:

"We were down last Friday and are on a scheduled hiatus this week. We'll resume production on Monday."

Another source reveals that Courteney's husband, David Arquette, is still working...

Arquette has been putting in long hours on the set of in an independent film, The Land of the Astronauts, which has been shooting in downtown Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley for the past two weeks. A source close to the actor says filming has been business as usual in recent days with "no apparent" family issues interfering.

"David is a pro and seems to talk to his family often," the source says. Yesterday, the production took a planned day off, but resumed shooting this morning.

So what was the family matter Courteney needed to tend to?

There are only two episodes left of Sons of Anarchy's brilliant second season, and as has been the case all year, these last installments do not shirk on story advancement. We've gotten an early look at Tuesday's all-new hour, "The Culling," and it is so good—and so gratifying for us fans—that it will send you into fits.
