Call them, maybe
Carly Rae Jepsen's No. 1 earworm Call Me Maybe has inspired an abundance of covers and lip-synched versions. Billboard has collected the "best" of the bunch at http://wfp.to/YHA, including Donald Trump and a collection of Miss USA contestants; the Chocolate Rain guy Tay Zonday; the Harvard men's baseball team; Katy Perry; Jimmy Fallon; and Justin Bieber, whose tweet about the song turned millions of his followers onto it. She will sing it live Saturday at the Red River Ex, which booked her prior to the song's stratospheric success.

Best Actor Oscar Career? Apparently not
Since winning an Oscar for his performance in Roman Polanski's The Pianist, Adrien Brody interspersed some good work (Splice, The Brothers Bloom) with hawking Gillette Fusion razors and Stella Artois beer and starring in a reportedly unwatchable Dario Argento movie. Brody is on view tomorrow in the doper comedy High School playing a ganja dealer named Psycho Ed. Oscar nomination forthcoming? Don't hold your breath.

Celebrity contractor builds himself new series
It's been a while since Jim Caruk's home-improvement series, Real Renos, was a staple of the HGTV lineup. And since then, the DIY-themed network has elevated several other builders and decorators to star status. Tonight, Caruk seeks to reclaim his spot on HGTV's A-list with the première of Builder Boss (9 p.m.), a show that follows Caruk from first nails to finishing touches on some unique projects.

He even spelled her name right
Canadian literary fiction gets a boost this week with a long essay about avant-garde Toronto writer Sheila Heti in the New Yorker by the magazine's estimable critic James Wood. Focusing on Heti's 2010 novel How Should a Person Be?, Wood is mixed in his judgment. But he confers enormous respect on her simply by deigning to discuss her at such length.
JILL WILSON / RERUNS
Scrubbed clean
The Showtime series Nurse Jackie shook things up this season by sending its title character, pill-popping ER nurse Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco), to rehab. Falco is the focus, but her co-stars shine too, particularly Merritt Wever as the daffy, Jackie-worshipping, whimsical-scrub-wearing Zoey. Season 4 ended this week; Movie Central will replay the series in sequence on Mondays, starting June 25.
