The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev was on Conan last night and did the usual interview thing. Then it got good. Really good. More sexy female guests on talk shows should demonstrate yoga poses while wearing super short skirts. Normally here’s where I’d tell you to just skip ahead to the yoga part, but damn, that skirt (skort?) makes the whole video worth a watch.

A few nights ago, we told you to keep your eye out for Gabrielle Union on Conan. You see, not only is Union a lovely lady and talented actress, she’s also the girlfriend of Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade. So, she she was bound to drop a few tasty nuggets about NBA WAG life.

Well, what do you know, she did that and more. Union described how she she been banned courtside by Wade after taunting veteran official Dick Bavetta. The taunt in question included some very appropriate Viagra jokes. Well played ma’am.

Just so you know Gabrielle, upon hearing this, I immediately lobbied to get you atop the Guyism 100. You’re welcome.

Halo 4 is on the way, which many long-time fans of the franchise are a bit worried about, given that Bungie is no longer involved. So I wonder how they’ll react to the news that Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter are now part of the cast?

Halo 4 is on the way, which many long-time fans of the franchise are a bit worried about, given that Bungie is no longer involved. So I wonder how they’ll react to the news that Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter are now part of the cast?

The above aired last night and, admittedly, is actually funny. Something I haven’t been able to say about their other game related gags in recent weeks.

Yet I also have to wonder if the original developers would have allowed the pair of late night funny men to be part of their proceedings? I honestly don’t think so.

I also fear that the final game from new studio 343 Industries won’t be as compelling as old black and white footage of dogs playing football.

It’s real, motherhubbards. Will Ferrell was on Conan last night in full Ron Burgundy mode to announce that Anchorman 2 is in production.

It’s real, motherhubbards. Will Ferrell was on Conan last night in full Ron Burgundy mode to announce that Anchorman 2 is in production. The 2004 movie still stands as one of Ferrell’s funniest joints ever, with about a million quotable lines and great performances from Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and Fred Willard. Director Adam McKay is returning to co-write and direct the sequel, and he expects that most of the original cast will be back as well. Let’s express our inner happiness through the majesty of song.

In a somewhat controversial move, Conan O’Brien went through with his gay marriage of longtime costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein on last night’s episode of Conan, filmed in New York.

In a somewhat controversial move, Conan O’Brien went through with his gay marriage of longtime costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein on last night’s episode of Conan, filmed in New York.

Yep, that sure was two gay dudes getting married. It wasn’t funny or remarkable in any way. But I guess that’s sort of the point?

Either way, it’s pretty cool for Conan to support one of his staffers like that. Congrats to the big happy and gay couple. On the plus side, one of them could literally attempt to murder the other on their honeymoon and it’d still last longer than the Kardashian-Humphries debacle. In your face, straightos.

The people who make the game, random folks on the internet, or late night talk show. Who comes out on tops when it comes to laughs? You be the judge.

The people who make the game, random folks on the internet, or late night talk show. Who comes out on tops when it comes to laughs? You be the judge.

First off is something that’s not really funny, but just flat out awesome (and which I’m passing along anyway, since we’re talking about Gears after all). It’s basically the game, redone via Legos. Pretty impressive, top to bottom, but man, whomever TOTALLY nailed the camerawork…

Next, for those who haven’t heard about it, and those that have, yet can’t figured how to nab it, details behind the The Cluckshot. Imagine a shotgun, except it shoots chicken, with feathers flying all over the place and everything…

… Cute, and kinda funny! Moving on, here we have a clip starring Carlos Ferro, who not only voices the role of Dominic Santiago in the game, but dressed as him to, make a young dying boy happy. Or would be if kids today didn’t have such awful taste in entertainment…

… Actually, I find Katherine Heigl fairly hot, so the kid’s alright. Moving on we have Conan O’Brien’s attempt at getting laughs using GOW. It’s an oldie, from the game’s launch a few weeks back originally, but… I’m only showing this to help illustrate a point…

… And that point is, Conan, you should have never left NBC. Sorry. Leave the awkward attempts at tech-laden jokes to Jimmy Fallon. And finally isn’t a video but just some comic some guy made, inspired by a little mishap while playing Gears 3, as found on Reddit. I think most folks will agree; stranger on the internet is funnier that all of the above…

It’s entirely impossible I’m just imagining this, but I feel like I’ve seen Conan O’Brien give commencement speeches several times over the years. But this speech from Dartmouth’s commencement over the weekend is a particularly biting and witty one, so it’s worth a watch.

It’s entirely impossible I’m just imagining this, but I feel like I’ve seen Conan O’Brien give commencement speeches several times over the years. But this speech from Dartmouth’s commencement over the weekend is a particularly biting and witty one, so it’s worth a watch.

Sure it may seem like Conan being very entertaining and occasionally profound is a winning commencement speech. But when I graduated from the University of Southern California, I was treated to a speech from Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. You can have your wit and platitudes…I’ll take political overtones and random phrases spouted in Spanish to make the Latino people in attendance applaud any day. It’s like getting your diploma and experiencing 3AM at a South Central-based Del Taco all in one swoop.

Conan O’Brien revisited the “slow down the audio to make someone sound drunk” meme that was popular a little while back with this video of President Obama but, as Matt at Warming Glow points out, the execution of this one is so well-done that it’s a must watch.

The Irish people would totally respond like that if President Obama were shit-faced in a speech like that. It’s like when you go to a country that speaks a different language, you have to give them a couple words they understand so they can get on board. Drunkspeak is like a soothing lullaby to those folks.

Will Ferrell’s campaign to shave Conan O’Brien’s long-overdue “strike beard” culminated in an extravaganza of facial trimmings, impatient yelling, and other fantasticness. Take a look.

Personally, my favorite part of the video is that the YouTube version going around was uploaded by hip-hop beats site Dolobeats.com. Because when I think of people who know hip-hop, I think of two pasty white dudes shaving each other in a vaguely homoerotic fashion.

Or so says the UK press… and as illustrated by the Taiwanese news.

It is true though; as Destructoid’s Jim Sterling asked: “Did Reggie Fils-Aime [president if Nintendo of America] murder the family of somebody at The Sun?” Now they claim that playing the 3DS will result in feeling dizzy, a headache, AND high blood pressure?

Anyhow, glad to see the Taiwanese CGI crew on-top of things. Though they have yet to top their coverage of the late night talk show wars…

Plenty of people have wanted to kill a Kardashian, I’m sure.

Plenty of people have wanted to kill a Kardashian, I’m sure.

And PLENTY of people will want to break Kim Kardashian’s new record which features her new single “Jam.”

Thankfully, Conan O’Brien has the power and pull to do so.

Well, at the least the latter anyway.

Fortunately, the late-night host made up for the fact that he couldn’t do both by smashing Kimmy’s new single “Jam” with a live-action version of Angry Birds.

In the words of Coco, the “only way to make this horrible song stop playing” is to smash it with the live-action Angry Birds. And maybe a hammer.

Celebrity gossip items that you may have missed this week…

— Zooey Deschanel sent a raunchy, naked video of herself to her boyfriend… in 1998. They are just now hitting the Internet. And people say news travels faster because of the Internet. Pfffftt…

— Demi Lovato checked into a rehab center, but not the kind that Lindsay Lohan is in. This one is for her to get help for “emotional and physical issues.” Uh oh, “physical” issues? Anyone care to guess what that’s code for?

— Demi Lovato’s emotional issues may have had something to do with Ashley Greene now currently doinking her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas. Or not.

— Speaking of Lindsay Lohan and rehab, she might not be on the hook for her medical bills as previously thought. All she has to do is serve as a “marketing consultant” for a Web site. A Web site that you can’t view at work unless you happen to work at a strip club.

— Bret Michaels had sex with Miley Cyrus’ mom, Tish. Or not.

— Charlie Sheen filed for divorce from his third wife Brooke Mueller. Or as I like to call it, firing a pre-emptive strike.

— The “true story” behind Conan O’Brien’s move to TBS (as told by Andy Richter).

— Keith Olbermann was suspended indefinitely by MSNBC. Sadly it was not just for him being a complete and utter douchebag.

— David Cassidy was arrested for DUI. You remember David Cassidy, right? You know, Katie Cassidy’s dad?

— Heidi Montag is researching stripping. Presumably for her next career move.

— Oh yeah, that whole “divorce” thing that Heidi and Spencer Pratt went through? Yeah, that was fake. They also claim to have filed for bankruptcy. I hope that’s not fake too.

— Kim Kardashian recorded a single. No, really, she did. It’s horrible so I know it was her.

— Justin Bieber wants his own private jet. Of course he does.

— Speaking of people with wayyyy too much money…

— And finally, Hulk Hogan whipped his dick out in front of his daughter Brooke for a video game commercial. Maybe he just thought he was Keith Richards or something.

This weekend’s sexy video comes to us from the fine folks over at FHM who were kind enough to shoot a video of one of my favorite British babes in lingerie, Kara Tointon, who also happens to be their cover girl this month. Giggity…

“Conan” is getting ready for its premiere in a few weeks and in the meantime Conan O’Brien is biding his time by having fans go to his Facebook page to ask him questions and then making response videos on Youtube. Today we found out that like any unemployed comedian, Conan O’Brien is just sitting at home making sandwiches.

I think it could have used more McNuggets and gravy, but then again it’s the processing that makes it healthy. Conan looks to be chomping at the bit to get back to work. I guess having the same job for the past twenty years and then suddenly being unemployed will cause you to go a little crazy. Let’s hope that some of the craziness carries over to the new show. Since it’s on cable, I’m hoping they’ll have more room to do some edgier, weirder material.

Maybe a Pimpbot 6000??

Conan’s new show coming this November to TBS will be called…

Well that was somewhat disappointing. I had heard a few places say that O’Brien wouldn’t be able to secure that name because a company that used to promote the Conan the Barbarian films already owned the rights to that particular moniker. But it looks like that wasn’t a problem in this case, as Conan will begin airing November 8th of this year. I just hope they’ll let him be more creative with the content than they were with actually naming the show.

They still lost to The Colbert Report, but it’s nice to know that we only have to wait a few more months till Conan takes over a new desk at TBS.

Regardless of what you think about Conan O’Brien (though I’ll go out on a limb and assume anyone reading this site is firmly Team Coco), you have to give the guy credit for churning out some quality on this live event tour he’s doing prior to the start of his new TBS show. In his Radio City Music Hall appearance last night, Conan went for the gusto, engaging in a dance-off with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

Ironically, Jon Stewart was about as tall lying on the ground as he was standing up. The man is far funnier than any of us could ever hope to be, but if ever a grown man looked like he would have been a good fit in “Gulliver’s Travels,” it was him being next to Colbert and O’Brien. Though he definitely has my vote for “TV Host I’d Most Likely Be Able to Put in My Pocket and Steal without Anyone Immediately Noticing.”

Get ready boys, Tara Reid is back on the open market. Tara and Internet entrepreneur Michael Axtmann have broken off their engagement. My guess is he got cold feet. Not about getting married though, but about facing the reality that he’d have to spend the rest of his life looking at her (non-Photoshopped) stomach. Good move, Mike.

Remember last week when I reported that Lindsay Lohan skipped her court date to go shopping? Yeah, well, LiLo missed her court date again. This she says it’s because she couldn’t get a ride (she’s not allowed to drive as a condition of her probation). And since we all know there aren’t any taxis or limos (or other friends) in Hollywood, there was no way she could make it to court.

Oh well, it’s not like Lindsay Lohan’s dad tried to break into her apartment trying to have her arrested or anything. What’s that? That did happen? Of course it did.

Wellll, at leeeast she hasn’t been named a suspect in the theft of a $35,000 Rolex. Oh man, she has? Lindsay’s life really is the gift that keeps on giving.

LiLo isn’t the only one with daddy issues. It seems that Britney Spears’ dad has had enough of Brit-Brit running around without a bra showing off her pokies, so he has banned her from leaving the house without a bra. Great. Now we have NO reason to care about her anymore.

And remember last week when I told you that Kate Hudson got breast implants? Well, that may or may not be the case. Many in the press are speculating that based on these photos she is actually pregnant. Personally I don’t see it. For one thing, someone would have had to had sex with her, and since I didn’t read about it on Twitter then it didn’t happen. That’s how the world works now, right?

The news for Steven Seagal just keeps getting better. Two more women have come forward to claim they were sexually harassed by Mr. Seagal and one of them is Ray Charles’ granddaughter Blair Robinson. I know what you’re going to say. You didn’t see that one coming. At least Steve’s ex-wife, Kelly Le Brock isn’t getting ready to spill the beans in a book or anything. What’s that? She is? Uh oh.

Not all deviant sexual activity ends up with negative results though. Just ask Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. McGee got a gig to sign autographs, pose for photos and dance topless at Vegas’s Deja Vu Showgirls club. Her payment? In the $5,000 range. See girls? It pays well these days to be a homewrecking, tattooed stripper.

In other celebrity legal news, Heather Locklear was arrested for hit and run last Saturday for running over a No Parking sign. Seriously. At least this time there were no reports of her driving under the influence. Progress!

In shocking news, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are dropping the sexual harassment charges I reported to you last week. It may have something to do with this statement by an MTV, “We have looked into this matter and the allegations made against Adam DiVello are completely false and without merit.” Again, shocking.

Remember when Michael Douglas’ son, Cameron got arrested for drugs and other assorted criminal activity? Well, he just got sentenced to five years in the slam. Which isn’t bad considering the mandatory minimum sentence for his crimes is 10 years. Yes, you read that right. He got less than the “mandatory” minimum. Oh to be a celebrity relative.

In Kick-Ass news, one of the stars of the flick, 19 year-old Aaron Johnson, knocked up his girlfriend. Did I mention that his girlfriend is 42 year-old divorced director Sam Taylor-Wood? Knocking up a 42 year-old? Does that qualify as kick-ass?

In rare GOOD news, Jennifer Carpenter, the wife of Michael C. Hall, says the Dexter star is “fully recovered” from cancer and has returned to work. I know… good celebrity news? WTF is wrong with me?

And finally, it seems that George Lopez isn’t all that thrilled to have Conan O’Brien bumping him back an hour on TBS. Because, you know, having a great lead-in to a show that no one previously even knew was on the air is a bad thing?

It’s prom season so let’s ignore the fact this letter was initially sent in 2003. A then-high school junior named Nikki Simmons sent a letter asking Conan O’Brien to accompany her to her prom. And Conan responded with his typical humor and awesomeness.

It’s prom season so let’s ignore the fact this letter was initially sent in 2003. A then-high school junior named Nikki Simmons sent a letter asking Conan O’Brien to accompany her to her prom. And Conan responded with his typical humor and awesomeness.

“My wife doesn’t allow me to go to proms anymore with cute 16 year-old girls,” is pretty much the greatest thing ever put in a letter. Probably better than the alternative.

Anyway, to get this site some publicity, I’ll step up to the plate and take this girl to prom. Oh, right, it’s from 2003, so she’s like 23 years old now. Ew. Nevermind, Grandma. Nikki, get yourself some Metamucil on Guyism and call it a night. Them bowels ain’t loosening themselves at your advanced age.

Comedy Central announced today that they had signed contract extensions with their late-night duo of John Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Stewart signed an extension that keeps him at the helm of “The Daily Show” until June 2013, while Colbert will continue to be the dictator of the Colbert Nation until the late 2012. Both hosts will staying through (at least) one more presidential election; great news for both the fans and bottom-line of the popular cable channel.

While this isn’t shocking news, it will be interesting to see how Comedy Central’s Daily Show/Colbert Report fares against TBS and its newly formed duo of Conan O’Brien and George Lopez, who will be matched against them in the 11 PM time-slot starting this fall. It’ll be interesting to see how this scheduling dilemma affects cable television ratings, but it’s not as if these kings of comedy haven’t had to come to blows before.

Finally. A cable show rivalry that will actually be enjoyable to watch over the next few years.
