Video: Jersey Shore's Deena Cortese Teaches Ed Helms To Dance The Jersey Turnpike

If you’ve ever seen him singing and dancing on The Office, it might shock you to hear that Ed Helms was upstaged on last night’s episode of The Tonight Show. But he did, in fact, have the spotlight stolen from him by none other than Jersey Shore meatball Deena Cortese. More »

Celebrity Reading List: 15 Celeb-Written Children’s Books

Celebrity Reading List: 15 Celeb-Written Children's Books

Last week we discovered that celebrities like to write novels. But you know what they like to write even more than novels? Children’s books! And what better way to introduce your wee ones to the hilarity of celebrity culture than with these 15 kid’s books penned by the likes of Ricky Gervais, Julianne Moore, Bob Dylan, and Perez Hilton? Here’s what I want to know: When is the Britney Spears children’s book about haircare appreciation happening? More »

Gallery: Celebs in Canadian Tuxedos for Canada Day

Here’s a stupid joke I wrote once: “A Canadian birthday suit means wearing no denim at all.” Are you laughing so insanely hard now? So, today is a holiday called Canada Day, and in honor of that, we’ve put together a gallery of celebrities rocking denim on denim. Eh!, or something. More »

Video: Watch a Babyfaced Adam Levine's First Public Performance

Adam Levine wasn’t always the suave, tattooed hunk of a frontman we see singing into the souls of young women at Maroon 5 concerts. Nope, he was once a child, who wore geeky sunglasses and 80s jeans. This karaoke-style performance cropped up on last night’s episode of Jay Leno, and Adam explains that it was the first time he ever sang in public. We sort of wish he’d kept the aesthetic. More »

In Defense Of Chelsea Handler On Her 36th Birthday

In Defense Of Chelsea Handler On Her 36th Birthday

Chelsea Handler turns 36 today. To date, she has a successful show, a trio of best-selling books, and more than 3 million Twitter followers — yet still, Chelsea remains one of the most polarizing figures on the comedy scene. That’s due in large part to Chelsea’s bold willingness to say absolutely whatever’s on her mind, be it about herself, another celebrity, or just about anyone else who gets in her line of vision. And while this brazen lack of self-consciousness makes her absolutely abhorred by a subset of America’s TV-watching audience, I think Chelsea Handler is totally awesome. More »

Leno’s ‘Taylor Swift’s Surprise’ Raises Question

Leno's 'Taylor Swift's Surprise' Raises Question

Yesterday, The New York Times called the bluff of a major television show ripping off comedy from the Internet. No, South Park wasn’t after those guys from CollegeHumor again: instead Richy Four Four (aka Richie Juzwiak), an editor over at VH1.com claimed that Jay Leno‘s producers had called him asking for permission to use the Taylor Swift montage that Richie created with TheFabLife.com producer Kate Spencer.
Richie said yes, as long as proper attribution was given. Not to much to ask for, right? Fast forward to Monday night. More »

Video: Celebrities Doing Stupid Things Are More Funny Than Regular People

I have no idea why this video of celebrity correspondents for The Tonight Show made me laugh out loud this morning. I laughed the hardest at Ryan Seacrest in a barrel at a rodeo. And Brad Pitt vacuuming will get me every time.

Video: Steve Carell, Jane Lynch Are So Cheese

Emmy nominees Steve Carell and Jane Lynch visited Jay Leno on the Tonight Show (which, coincidentally was not nominated for an Emmy although The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien was). The two actors talked about their work together on The 40-Year-Old Virgin, especially Jane’s Peruvian love song (just try not to laugh).

Steve also talked about his kids, and how his daughter tried to trick him into thinking that “cheese” was what the kids are using instead of “cool” these days…. More »

Video: Jeremy Piven Abuses NBC Page, For The LOLs

It’s always uncomfortable to watch a celebrity who has a reputation for being a diva act like a diva in what is supposed to be a self-deprecating way. Not saying that Jeremy Piven has a reputation for being difficult, but if that were the case, it would make this “sketch,” — in which he scares the crap out of an unsuspecting NBC page after finding a tray of sushi in his Tonight Show dressing room and throws a bottle… More »

Betty White: Jay-Z ‘Got Desperate’

Betty White: Jay-Z 'Got Desperate'

On The Tonight Show last night, hot superstar of the moment Betty White talked to Jay Leno about her experience hosting Saturday Night Live this past weekend. And when Jay asked if musical guest Jay-Z “got fresh,” Betty responded, “He didn’t get fresh, he just got desperate I think.” Turns out, while backstage at the show, Jay-Z walked by Betty and “patted” her, “not on the shoulder” — if you know what she means!

Video: Mindy Kaling Giddy Around Robert Downey, Jr.

We have to give Mindy Kaling props for being able to get out words while sitting next to hunky Robert Downey, Jr. on the Tonight Show last night. While RDJ was there to promote Iron Man 2, The Office actress/writer talked about her love for Sherlock Holmes, her new Invisalign braces and not wanting to swim in the Ocean. And far from being nervous, Mindy actually looked downright comfortable, and breezy.

Our favorite part of the interview? While Mindy says… More »

Gallery: Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian Dine With White House Correspondents

Every year, the White House Correspondents Dinner is the biggest night in Washington, D.C., promising the most celebrity appearances and parties to hit the nation’s capital outside of Barack Obama’s Inauguration. Celebs need to be invited to the black tie dinner by a news organization, which makes for some seriously funny bedfellows. But a ticket to the event is a seriously hard thing to come by, so celebs are happy to cozy up to just about anyone — hello Kim… More »

Video: Conan O'Brien On 'Toxic' Relationship With NBC

As a little spoiler to this Sunday’s 60 Minutes, CBS released a clip of Steve Kroft asking Conan O’Brien if he would have stayed at NBC if Jeff Zucker had handled the situation differently. Conan chooses his words carefully here, so we don’t think it’s any coincidence that his answer calls to mind how we describe a bad breakup to our friends.

VIDEO: Jessica Simpson Talks Dating, Boxing And Her Addiction

Jessica Simpson visited Jay Leno on the Tonight Show last night with a shocking confession. “I’m addicted to Nicorette gum,” the pop star said, sheepishly, admitting that she loves the stuff although she’s never smoked cigarettes a day in her life. “It’s like drinking three Red Bulls.” More »

Leno Not Funny, Even With ‘Jersey Shore’

Leno Not Funny, Even With 'Jersey Shore'

Jay Leno is back on The Tonight Show, and we’re wondering if he’ll ever be funny. Last night, he went back to a gag he used on his 10 p.m. show, making fun of the Jersey Shore cast and how clueless they are about current events. But this time, the bit fell flat:

Earlier this week, Jay let big name guest Sarah Palin do stand-up on his show — showing how low he’ll sink for a laugh. But again, it wasn’t… More »

Leno’s Back Tonight, But At What Cost?

Leno's Back Tonight, But At What Cost?

The blogosphere is buzzing about Jay Leno’s return to late night, and Crushable has some insight into controversy swirling around his (not so) triumphant return and some advice for NBC.

After the vicious back and forth that was the Conan O’Brien/Jay Leno Tonight Show saga, Jay is returning to his hosting gig at 11:35 p.m. tonight. NBC is standing by its decision to bring the once-Number One late-night host back to his old spot, but after the way the network treated… More »

Crush Links: Lindsay Lohan admits drug use

Lindsay Lohan confessed that she started using drugs and alcohol to forget about her problems when father Michael Lohan began to air the family’s dirty laundry to the press in 2007.

Jennifer Lopez has left her label, Sony Music Epic Records, and her latest album will not be released. It is unclear whether the split was mutual or Sony’s alone.

The cast of Glee will perform at White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 5.
