How much do we love Conan O’Brien? The late-night funny man is sharing his wealth by paying 75 staff members on his show while the strike continues. Conan O’Brien’s non-striking staff on “Late Night” will face layoffs after today, so O’Brien plans to pay their salaries next week.
According to NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks, “He’s paying the staffers’ salaries out of his own pocket.” “Late Night” production has been suspended since November 5th, when the writers’ strike began. Up until this point, NBC has been paying non-writing staff members, but whether the network will continue paying staff salaries for shows on hiatus is unclear.

James Franco and Mila Kunis show us what it would be like without writers to provide quality scripted material – and god forbid, we were subjected to even more of the lame dialogue on “The Hills.” How do you think James Franco and Mila Kunis do as Justin and Audrina in this FunnyorDie.com clip?
How weird is that? OK, OK, I know her first single is “Tatoo,” and understandably Jordin Sparks is young and wants a tattoo… but of her brother’s name? Now that’s just plain strange.
The “American Idol” winner says she wants a tattoo of her brother’s name, P.J., because she’s been missing him while she’s traveling.
“This past year has made me realize how much I took my relationship with him for granted. I’ve only been home a week and a half since the year started, and I really miss him. He knows everything about me. And, unlike a boyfriend, I know he won’t walk away.” Read the rest of this entry »
I kid you not. ABC Family is looking for “America’s Prom Queen.”
ABC Family is set to crown prom royalty in their new reality series, “America’s Prom Queen.” Several high school girls will live in a mansion and compete in challenges that “test their prom queen mettle.” Judges, known as the Prom Committee, will represent high school stereotypes and eliminate a contestant each week.
