Inspired by astronaut Lisa Nowak, the Game Show Network has created an online game for lonely hearts suffering from a recent breakup or an unwanted admirer. The cable channel has created “Astronaut Moonstalker,” an online game about an animated astronaut in a space lander. Collecting items in various caverns, then landing successfully, ends the “love fest” of the happy astronaut couple that plagues the player. Mission accomplished.

Just remember one thing. There’s a diaper meter. And if it reaches “full,” the lander explodes. (The diaper meter refreshes each time the player captures an empty diaper.)

Other items — mocking the weaponry found in Nowak’s trunk when she drove 900 miles to Florida to confront her supposed rival — earn points for players. BB guns earn players more ammo. Knives and mallets open doors. Pepper spray adds more fuel. If the player lands the craft without crashing, a more difficult round begins. What better way to take your emotions to the next level?

Justin in a Box

If your teenage daughter doesn’t have Verizon Wireless service, she’s probably begging you for it. Justin Timberlake (you know, Mr. Former Boy-Bander) has his own channel on Verizon Wireless’ V CAST service. He’s the first artist to launch his own mobile channel, which will have four iterations: fashion, film, music and lifestyle. The channel will feature fashion show snippets, interviews with Justin and more. “With JT-TV, I am able to express myself and share more of my creativity directly with my fans,” says Timberlake. And girls everywhere swoon.
