Conan O’Brien is done with NBC, so reports are saying. NBC has yet to officially confirm this news, but that’s the word on the street/Internet. Conan’s reign is scheduled to end next Friday, January 22nd. NBC had scheduled a hiatus for the show that was supposed to start the 25th, but in light of all of this crazy bullshit, Conan’s taking off a few days early.
What was the final straw? I guess NBC/Universal president & CEO Jeff Zucker was so cold and nasty throughout the negotiations that Conan became too turned off to consider going back. From Nikki Finke’s blog:
And while Jeff Zucker has not stepped up and taken responsibility for this mess he set in in motion in the first place — by replacing Leno with Conan O’Brien as host of The Tonight Show even though Jay was No. 1 in his time slot at the time — he’s been busy behind the scenes. I’ve already reported how Zucker has been privately blaming Conan for the current debacle, saying “He let me down” because The Tonight Show for the last 7 months since O’Brien took over has been losing out to David Letterman in both eyeballs and advertiser-coveted demographics. (Bullshit, Zucker, you can’t keep blaming others for your Zuck-ups.) Bad enough that Zucker made Conan hear about the planned move in the first place from the media.
…
One rep even compared Zucker to “Darth Vader” because the NBCU chief “has been so evil” about this. His 3 1/2-years threat comes because O’Brien has another 2 1/2 half years left to run on his contract, and NBC could also enforce a clause that keeps Conan off television for a year or more after that.
The backlash from Conan fans all over the Internet (it’s been somewhat of a craze the last few days) probably don’t help the fact that NBC’s ratings have been at an all-time low recently.
I’ll keep you updated as more details (and a confirmation) come in…
Russell Simmons Tweeted today that he heard through the Successful People Grapevine or whatever that Tiger Woods is donating a mobile hospital to Haiti help the earthquake victims. Smart move, Tiger. Real smart. This is exactly what he should have been doing the whole time. Kissing America’s ass. I don’t think it would be outrageous to say that the disaster in Haiti is the best thing to happen to Tiger Woods in months. And did I extra extra like that the news came from Russell Simmons? Yes. I loved that. Excellent touch, Tiger. I will read my news from UncleRUSH any day.
But we’re not letting Tiger out of the doghouse yet (OMG! Accidental Brady Bunch reference), his reps have not been able to confirm anything yet.
Sorry we’re so reality TV heavy today, but this video is definitely worthy of a post. I had to give up on watching Jersey Shore online because it was making me sick to my stomach, but this is something I can handle: All the best Jersey Shore clips reenacted by children. Orange children. And they’re F-d up on Pixie Stix. Whoever made this is genius. You can never go wrong with children doing adult things for comedic purposes. My favorite part?
I don’t know about you folks, but I am still not over Real Housewives of New Jersey. I am especially fond of Dina and Lexi and Teresa and Joe. I talk about them frequently and think of them when I go shopping. “Oh, Dina would love that!”. It’s a problem. I’m sure you can only imagine how devastated I was to wake up to the news that my Joey Giudice had been arrested on a DWI after wrecking his car and then slapped with even more charges.
We’re told Joe was taken to the Morristown Memorial Hospital — and after a blood sample was taken, Joe was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving, and failure to maintain a traffic lane.
Joe’s problems didn’t stop there. Cops say there were warrants out for his arrest in Clifton, NJ over some city ordinance violations — so the MTPD handed Joe over to the Clifton PD, who locked him up and held him on $2,625 bail. He was released at 6:20 AM.
Damn. You know it’s gotta be an awkward morning at the Giudice home. Teresa and Joe had their fourth baby, Audriana earlier this year and dad coming home at 6:20 AM is probably not something they’re used to. I’m sure Teresa is not thrilled that this incident is making headlines and the Manzo family? We know they don’t like being associated with unsavory characters one bit. On the other hand, it’s practically impossible to hate the guy who says things like “Happy wife, happy life.” Nobody talks like that anymore!
Ke$ha hit up The Wendy Williams Show yesterday lookin’ fierce in a fuzzy fur that matched her shaggy mane. Here’s a question: How pissed would you be if that fur is real? Personally, I don’t know how much it bothers me, but I am wondering what kind of statement it would be for a new artist to walk out in a real fur coat at one of her first public appearances. I hate the use of real fur, but I am guilty of owning a couple of pieces that were handed down to me that definitely used to be part of a live animal. Interested to know people’s thoughts on this jacket…
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
