• TEAM COCO!!!  It’s about time that smart, actually funny people take back late-night TV, and Conan O’Brien is the key.  NBC needs to recognize talent when they see it—here’s a hint: it doesn’t have a giant chin and a lisp.  The latest disheartening rumor is that next week will be the hilarious ginger’s last week of late-night!  If you agree with me, join the group on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/imwithcoco?ref=ts.  And if it makes any difference to you, President Obama is on our side too: http://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/video/clips/obama-supports-conan-011310/1192856

My favorite ginger.

• American Idol is going way downhill after this season—Simon Cowell, the delightfully persnickety Englishman of Idol has announced that he’ll be leaving to work on his new show.  It’s called The X-Factor, and it’s a spin-off of a hit British reality series similar to Idol.  Simon’s brutal honesty will surely be missed, since we’ll be left with Kara DioGuardi trying to translate Randy Jackson’s virtually incoherent critiques of the contestants: “Dawg, it just didn’t do it for me dawg.  I’m like, what?”  Good luck with that.

At least I'm not as judgmental as this guy…right?

• Did anybody bother to tell James Cameron that he should really watch Pocahontas and FernGully before he decided to spend half a billion dollars on Avatar?!  Because when you combine those two animated children’s movies and add some cool 3-D effects, Avatar is what you get.  Don’t get me wrong: I thought it was an awesome movie, and I really want an avatar now.  It just blows my mind that even $500 million can’t buy you an original storyline.  Oh well.
• There’s a rumor floating around that Jersey Shore’s most punch-worthy cast member, Snookie, will star in her very own reality TV show—Snookin’ For Love.  I can only hope that it’s just a rumor for the sake of my fellow Jersey natives; I’m not sure we can take any more humiliation at the hands of MTV.  For the record, most of the cast members are from New York—shouldn’t the show be called something like Dirty New Yorkers Who Invade the Jersey Shore?  Ugh.

Who told her that hair poof looked good?

• Tiger Woods has reportedly checked into rehab for a sex addiction.  I wish him all the best…NOT. What a pig.
