A New Low For Leno

Even though Jay Leno has been spicing up The Tonight Show with innovative diva tests and undercover investigations , his numbers continue to sink. Just last week, The Tonight Show earned its lowest ratings among its cherished 18-49 demo with an average of a 1.0 rating/5 share. For anyone keeping score at home, Conan O’B rien averaged a 1.1 rating while hosting the 11:35 P.M. show. [ The Wrap ]

Oscilloscope Takes Howl

Oscilloscope Labs today announced its pick-up of Howl , the Sundance-opening (and generally underwhelming ) adaptation of Allen Ginsberg’s famous poem and the First Amendment showdown it spurred.

Which Star is Coming Out as Gay?

Looks like someone wants a little of Michael Musto’s blind item action . Zap2it reports that on May 5, a celebrity will come out on the cover of People before embarking on a talk show blitz orchestrated by PR man Howard Bragman. That says to me “washed-up second lead on an 80’s sitcom,” or “the one nobody remembers from Nick Lachey’s boyband,” but who are your guesses? [ Zap2It ]

Reintroducing the James Cameron Self-Parody Danger Zone!

Back in November, we eagerly introduced a recurring feature called the James Cameron Self-Parody Danger Zone , believing that the director would employ his usual, press-baiting braggadocio while promoting Avatar . Funny thing, though: he mostly kept his head down, letting the work speak for itself. Now that Avatar has become the highest-grossing film of all time, though, our old, quotable Jim is back and better than ever!

I sure do after reading Scott Baio’s utterly batsh*t Twitter rants against… well, everybody . “My butt is getting itchy with all these trolls up in it,” he wrote this week during on ongoing tête-à-tête with the gang at Jezebel. “Adopt another cat or butt lick someone else. Envy must really suck.” Big Hollywood, here’s he comes. [ Jezebel via Videogum ]
