    I expect Conan to retaliate by having his guests race a "green" car.

    Anyone who likes Brian Williams must never have seen him playing sycophant to Dumbya.
    Anyway, the critic Alan Sepinwall also had a column about the NBC big cheeses trying to dance around all questions Leno-related. I wonder what their backup plan is for if/when he tanks.
    Speaking of - you younguns ought to quit blaming olds for everything wrong with TV. Any generation that gave us Ben Lyons and Ben Silverman, not to mention a thousand "reality stars," has no bragging rights.

    I saw a clip of Leno performing live in a comedy club recently, and he was actually funny. I still believe he was awful on purpose on his 11:30 show, because he believes people don't want to enjoy themselves too much right before going to sleep. So I think we can expect his new show to be half-funny -- which will still be enough for the millions of alter kackers who found "Law & Order" too violent.

    Leno and Hughley can go fuck themselves, however.

    Having met (and quite liked) Brian Williams, I call steaming piles of News Corp bullshit on the NBC item. Page Six always talks smack about Fox Noise competitors, and it's almost never true.

    I've never met Brian, but the people I know who have think he's lovely. Like, glowing reviews from relatively unimpressable people. He's just a nice guy.

    Wasn't there a blind item about a woman who didn't like her husband getting massages with a guy buddy...Jen G?


    They've been friends a long time. Recently worked together. Both family men now supposedly settled down. But not quite. Several times a week, very late at night, they'd call up for room service together. Oh no, not for food, but for a certain kind of massage. Like…together. They'd get off on it together. Literally. Apparently they've been doing this for years. It's how they bond. Some dudes like beer. These dudes like the hand and mouth special. Lately it hasn't happened often enough - schedules, kids, etc. Needless to say, when the opportunity presented itself, they made up for lost time. Problem: one of the wives found out. Is now threatening to tell the other. Almost like blackmail. She wants them to stop hanging out AND she wants the friend to find her husband a replacement gig to make up for the one he'll lose if she makes him pull out of their next collaboration. Hollywood wives can wheel and deal, see? But she's been placated before. He's waiting for the rage to go down, and then he'll buy her off again. A break from the bro massage until then.

    How old is Leighton Meester anyway? You'd think a several-years-old tape of her involving nudity would be a video of her birth.
