Vin Diesel's Facebook Fan Art On 'Conan'
24 May 2013 4:12 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Vin Diesel has one of the largest and most loyal fan-bases on Facebook, totaling more than 42 million fans. On "Conan," the actor said that he loves interacting with his fan, and they love the honest communication back and forth. Another thing they live is creating art inspired by their favorite action star.
Conan O'Brien had some of the more unusual pieces on hand to discuss with Diesel. Fans had a strange close-up image of Diesel's eyes with an elephant superimposed in between them, cat collages, Diesel as a baby, an angel, a dragon and even one image that made him look like an alien.
Check out more images from Diesel's one-of-a-kind fans with a gallery over at Gawker. And they're surely hard at work on the next batch to be inspired by Diesel's work in "Fast & Furious 6."
Find your own inspiration by watching Vin Diesel in "Fast & Furiuos 6," in theaters now. »

Watch: Benedict Cumberbatch Takes a 'Shower of Evil' in Deleted Scene from 'Star Trek Into Darkness'
23 May 2013 10:20 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
After getting some heat for Alice Eve's lingerie scene in "Star Trek Into Darkness," J.J. Abrams talked to Conan O'Brien about his belief in equal opportunity skin-showing, and screened a deleted scene from the film of Benedict Cumberbatch's baddie taking a "shower of evil." Watch below. We suspect a few thousand Cumberbitches and Cumberbabes will need their own cold showers after getting a glimpse of this video. »

'Star Trek' Director Responds To Sexism Claims
23 May 2013 6:30 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Star Trek Into Darkness" director J.J. Abrams was a guest on Conan O'Brien's late night show on Wednesday night, and used that opportunity to discuss a growing controversy about the latest "Trek" adventure.
Despite mostly positive reviews and solid box-office returns, many have derided "Star Trek Into Darkness" because of a scene where actress Alice Eve is shown in her underwear. The shot, which is fleeting, was used extensively in the marketing campaign.
"Eve's character of Dr. Carol Marcus was touted to have incredible intelligence, though instead of allowing her to use it to effect the plot, she was used as the most blatant eye-candy I've seen in a long time," Jill Pantozzi wrote on The Mary Sue.
During his appearance on "Conan," Abrams addressed the issue. Sort of. The director showed a so-called "Star Trek Into Darkness" deleted scene, featuring the film's villain, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, in the shower. »

Cool Videos: J.J. Abrams responds to Star Trek sexism on Conan with a clip of Benedict Cumberbatch showering
23 May 2013 3:26 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
A couple of days ago writer Damon Lindelof apologized for the Carol Marcus underwear scene in Star Trek Into Darkness and while both sides of the argument have valid points on if it was sexist or not, for the most part a lot of you just didn't think it was that big of a deal. One person who has always expressed his love for beautiful women (even if at times he's incredibly creepy about it) is Conan O'Brien and last night he J.J. Abrams on his show. The director »

'Workaholics' cast raps 'Straight Outta Mordor' on 'Conan' - Watch now
22 May 2013 3:58 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
The cast of "Workaholics" was set to appear on "Conan" Tuesday (May 21), but it was announced before their segment that they had to back out at the last minute. Luckily, Conan O'Brien said the trio had booked their own replacement guest. He then introduced rap group The Wizards.
Of course fans of "Workaholics" may recognize The Wizards as the rapping alter egos of Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine and Anders Holm, along with Kyle Newacheck, who co-created the show. The group took the stage to perform "Straight Outta Mordor," a "Lord of the Rings"-flavored rap.
The performance was complete with wizard costumes, dancing girls and fire-breathing dragons. What more could you ask for from rappers? As the song ends, one of the Wizards makes a bold challenge, yelling, "Jay-z, you'd better lock the door. We comin for ya."
The Wizards 2009 album, "Purple Magic," is available online and you can see the performance below. »

'Man Of Steel' Trailer: Conan O'Brien Finds A Super Plot Hole
22 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Brett White
Conan O'Brien has a thing or two to say about "Man of Steel" and a shot that's popped up in a few of the trailers (including the most recent one). But first, the comedian goes into just how much he loves Superman and how on board he's been for this movie from the get go.
"I love the guy who's playing Superman, I love that Amy Adams is in it," Conan gushes. "I love the whole idea that on the planet Krypton they have Australian accents." But gushing aside, there's one moment in the trailer that took Conan completely out of it. How out of it? Way out of it. Watch his video response below and then ask yourself... do you agree?

Zach Galifianakis quits drinking: The actor tells Conan O'Brien about spit in the face
18 May 2013 12:58 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
"Hangover" star Zach Galifianakis has quit drinking, but his reasons for doing so may surprise you. The actor explained the whole situation -- which involves spitting -- on "Conan."
The issue of drinking came up after Conan O'Brien asked if the actor had lost weight and Galifianakis attributed any changes to his recent decision to quit drinking. While there may have been deeper reasons involved with the overall choice, the specific reason is really quite amusing.
It seems that Galifianakis was walking in New York one night after some quality time with whiskey. When a Jaguar cut him off, the actor decided to play "Midnight Cowboy" and slammed his hand into the side of the car. This was apparently a big mistake. The two men -- described as rather large by the comedian -- took offense to this action and came over to literally spit in Galifianakis' face.

Zach Galifianakis Quits Drinking After Two Men Spit in His Face
18 May 2013 10:03 AM, PDT | Us Weekly | See recent Us Weekly news »
No more real-life hangovers for Zach Galifianakis. The actor, 43, has "stopped drinking," he told Conan O'Brien on a Wednesday, May 15 appearance on Conan. Looking noticeably thinner, the bearded comic star revealed he "was getting into too much trouble with the drinking." It was one incident in particular during a drunken night out on the Lower East Side of Manhattan that inspired the Hangover III standout to lay off the sauce. Taking a long walk home, "I'd gotten into the whiskey that night, and was listening [...] »
The six new Us TV shows we're most excited about

From Joss Whedon's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D to Rebel Wilson's Super Fun Night, next season's trailers have landed – but which is the most promising?
Upfronts, the Christmas Eve of Us television, are upon us. This is a sort of annual television cattle market, where networks show advertisers their wares for the upcoming autumn season in the hope of getting them to buy ad time "up front". Handily for us TV fans who aren't in charge of a whopping great ad budget, the networks also stick trailers for the majority of their new output online. Here are six of the most promising.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – ABC
Key personnel: Joss Whedon (executive producer)
Joss Whedon's return to the small screen after the monster success of Avengers Assemble will be another dip into Marvel mythology. This time, the Buffy creator tackles agency S.H.I.E.L.D., who are responsible »

Did You Catch This?
15 May 2013 10:38 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
On Tuesday, Conan O'Brien introduced "Comedy For DVRs," a segment that is basically a little Easter egg for all of us who do nothing for his Nielson ratings (yet).
The only way to enjoy the joke, you see, is to pause... and pause... and pause.
This inaugural gag was called "Rejected Game Of Thrones" characters and, like SNL's "Fox & Friends" corrections, it's a long list that flies by way too fast to read. Fortunately, we had nothing better to do than painstakingly transcribe the full list, and we're here to tell you, it was worth it.
Watch the clip above, then check out the rejected names below and let us know which are your favorites. Personally, we're holding out hope that one day "Lady Sideboob Of Huffington" and "K.D. Langister" turn up on GoT.

So Diablo Cody Might Be Getting Her Own Talk Show
15 May 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Ever since the rise of Conan O'Brien two decades ago, you no longer have to be a stand-up if you want to be a talk show host. O'Brien was a writer, a behind-the-scenes type, and yet proved personable enough in front of the camera to land a plum late-night position. Nowadays, while most talk show hosts come up through the comedy circuit, you have the occasional outlier to join O'Brien, as the recent appointment of "SNL" head writer Seth Myers as Jimmy Fallon's successor demonstrated. The latest, potentially, to join them? Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. At their upfronts today, according to Indiewire, Conan's current home TBS announced that, alongside their new post-Conan show, to be presented by stand-up and podcaster Pete Holmes, they're developing another talk show with the "Juno" scribe to be called "Me Time With Diablo Cody." The show seems to be in the early stages, »

TBS is Developing a Talk Show With Diablo Cody
15 May 2013 8:36 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
TBS is better known for its talk shows than its scripted programming, with the network's flagship series remaining Conan O'Brien's late night perch "Conan," where he landed after the NBC "Tonight Show" debacle of 2010. And he'll be getting some company -- at the Turner upfronts today, the network unveiled a schedule that includes another late night show hosted by comedian and podcast Pete Holmes, which will air after "Conan" in the slot that used to go to "Lopez Tonight" until it was canceled in 2011. TBS announced still another talk show in development, this one, interestingly, led by Diablo Cody. The "Juno" screenwriter is the host of the prospective series "Me Time with Diablo Cody," which will look at pop culture and Hollywood through Cody's perspective. The "United States of Tara" creator isn't a stranger to the talk show realm, having made several appearances on "Chelsea Lately" and hosted the »

Jennifer Love Hewitt Wants Conan On 'The Client List'
15 May 2013 3:29 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
When Jennifer Love Hewitt said that the guest stars on "The Client List" like her to be hands on during the massage scenes, she piqued Conan O'Brien's interest. On "Conan," she said that the actors always want her to give them real massages. According to Hewitt, they say "it'll help them get into her character."
And she obliges. "You should come be a client," she suggested to O'Brien.
They shook on it, with O'Brien saying he'd be face up for his massage. "I’ll rub your abs and you’ll tell me sad stories about your life.”
“We’ll do many takes, many takes," O'Brien said.
Hewitt certainly seemed serious about wanting the late night host to appear, so fans will just have to tune in to "The Client List" to see if he ever shows up on her table.
Hewitt might be making a return to network television as well. »

New 2013 TV Season Breakdown: ABC
14 May 2013 9:57 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third announced earlier today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.
The network is changing up some of its serialized dramas - removing random repeats in favor of two "uninterrupted runs" of twelve episodes each (one in the fall, one in the spring) for shows like "Once Upon A Time," "Grey’s Anatomy," "Scandal" and "Revenge". The large gaps between the two half-seasons will be bridged by "limited series" designed around only 12-13 episode seasons.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen including the high-profile "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" rip-off "Gothica", McG's rip-off of Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" entitled "Westside", the series based on Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain ride, the Annie Potts-led "Murder in Manhattan" about »

Here Are the New ABC Comedies
14 May 2013 3:11 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Well, here they are: The clips for ABC's new comedies, leading off with Super Fun Night, the comedy Rebel Wilson called "anti–Sex and the City because when these ladies eat at night, they aren't talking about dick." Also notable: Conan O'Brien exec-produced. From Ryan Seacrest Productions, Mixology is a midseason premiere about the antics of ten couples taking place during just one night at a bar. Who will go home alone? Hopefully Back in the Game will remind us of Bad News Bears (in a good way), because it's got a very similar theme. That is, a bunch of unruly kids on a baseball team coached by a persistant woman. Caan is her father. The Goldbergs, featuring the How I Met Your Mother–ish vocal stylings of Patton Oswalt and the comedic stylings of Jeff Garlin, is chock-full of eighties references (and eighties music!). Malin Akerman is the new »

R.I.P. Dr. Joyce Brothers

Dr. Joyce Brothers, who parlayed a psychology degree and a penchant for dispensing advice to troubled strangers into a TV career when Dr. Phil was still in short pants (and Dr. Drew was barely a twinkle in his father’s eye), has died at the age of 85. A favorite guest of Johnny Carson’s, Dr. Brothers was talk-show royalty in the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s, making frequent appearances on The Tonight Show, as well as The Mike Douglas Show, The Merv Griffin Show, The David Frost Show, and Dinah! and, later, The Daily Show and Late Night With Conan »
Charlie Kaufman To Adapt Charlie Kaufman’s Play Anomalisa, Directed By Charlie Kaufman
13 May 2013 7:09 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Living in the world of Charlie Kaufman, as we all do, everything is ultimately Charlie Kaufman – as if to prove this, Charlie Kaufman is to adapt the Charlie Kaufman play Anomalisa, written and directed by Charlie Kaufman. The play concerns Michael, a motivational speaker who experiences great success in motivating others while leading a completely worthless and pointless life himself.
Of the original cast, David Thewlis, Tom Noonan and Jennifer Jason Leigh will appear in the 50 minute film, scripted and co-directed by Charlie Kaufman alongside Duke Johnson. The film is notable for being financed entirely through crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, raising double the required budget of $200,000 (making $400,000, maths whizz) and ensuring great times for all. HanWay will be taking the film to Cannes, and Duke Johnson has promised to “bring a new style of animation to an audience for whom animated films are not usually made – adultineers,” whatever that means.
