LAS VEGAS -- Justin Timberlake, we learned Monday, is serious about bringing MySpace back. He's so serious, in fact, that he actually showed up at Panasonic's press event today at CES to talk up MySpace's partnership with the consumer-electronics giant, featuring a brand new MySpace app for TV.

Timberlake's appearance was brief, but entertaining -- not unlike his frequent cameos on Saturday Night Live, which he alluded to. Mashable caught the whole thing on camera (above).

Panasonic isn't the first TV maker who has tried to make TV social, of course -- though by partnering with a social brand desperate to remake itself, it could be the best attempt yet. The service is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2012.

For the full skinny on Panasonic's deal with MySpace, read our story on the announcement here, and check out Mashable's interview with MySpace owner Tim Vanderhook (apologies for the lousy sound):
