...Conan. Yup. No "show" or "night" variation. Not even a "barbarian" mention. Just plain old Conan. This is what he tells us in a new video, complete with scraggly beard and jokes. Exciting! Let's hope that's not the set, though.
Looks like she's doubling her chances of a date on Saturday night. These costars scored with a set of twins, this actor is doing too much coke, and there's something going on with gorillas. We wonder if Snooki's involved?

It's true. There's a surprise ending. Did people like it? Find out for yourself. People did definitely like a film about people taking things called Takers, and people still feel pretty good about Julia Roberts too.

Last night our squad of wannabe designers was cloven down the middle to form two teams: "The Golden Children" and the "Bad News Bears." It was a battle for the ages, and General Tim Gunn was not pleased.
