Variety is reporting that David Letterman, Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno are in talks to come back in December (either the 3rd or 10th) whether or not the WGA strike is over.
Since none of the shows wants to be the first to return to production, the behind-the-scenes conversations seem to be aimed at reaching an informal agreement that would result in at least two shows from separate networks returning on the same date.
While Letterman, Leno and O'Brien all want to be respectful of their writers, they're also deeply concerned about the impact of a prolonged strike on their non-WGA staffs.
Letterman and Worldwide Pants announced that they will pay the staffs of his show and Craig Ferguson's until the end of the year out of their own pockets. Leno does not own his show unlike Letterman which is why he has not made the same offer.
Hopefully they will all be back soon with their writers.
The article did not mention if Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson were part of the talks. I don't know about you guys but I am having Latenight talk show withdrawal.
Mr Las Vegas was diagnosed with a viral infection to his heart, but he insists he will be OK according to People. Wayne Newton was forced to cancel his tour for the next few months and he will not be able to dance at the Dancing with the Stars finale.
Even with all this bad news he still remains optimistic.
“This is just another little bump in the road,” Newton said. “The doctors are a little more concerned than I am. Part of their concern is that I feel so good—I’m not taking this lightly.”
Here's to hoping he is better soon and will make up his missed DWTS performance next season! Get well soon Mr Las Vegas!
Hayden Panetierre is wanted in Japan according to E! because of her failed attempt to Save The Dolphins in Japan.
“I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan,” the Heroes star told E! News exclusively Wednesday. “We just found out.”
Even though she knows she could be arrested if she went to Japan, she doubts she will be if given the opportunity.
Does she regret her failed attempt?
“In this town, you tend to be able to get publicity when you’re not wearing underwear or [you’re] in rehab,” Panettiere said.
“I was very excited that people were interested in what we did.”
And the actress isn’t letting a little thing like a warrant keep her from her cause. “I’d do it again,” she said. “Very possibly, might do it again.”
With an election year approaching, the actress also urged her fans to educate themselves on the presidential candidates’ varying stances on environmental issues.
“Every generation has its own challenge; this is the challenge of our generation,” she said.
“We must unite as a world to solve our increasing international environmental crises. We can no longer hide behind outdated, senseless cultural traditions and lazy, bad habits that are resulting in the annihilation of our planet’s resources and the extinction of our species.”
Good for Hayden to use her status for something good and not for lack of undies and DUI.
Lindsay Lohan sneaked into jail and did her time without anyone knowing until a few hours after she was released. Lindsay Lohan walked in to Lynnwood at 10:30a and was out at 11:54a, 84 minutes later according to The New Your Post. Even though Lindsay was sentenced to a 1/4th of the time as Nicole Richie she served two more minutes than her, which is so not fair to her.
BTW the fact that she did it unnoticed just goes to show that the paps are losing interest in her.
