Congrats Jimmy ! Jimmy Fallon To Replace Jay Leno Via HuffPo reports: NBC has officially announced that Jimmy Fallon will take over “The Tonight Show” in 2014, and Jay Leno will end his run as the host of the show. Bill Carter of The New York Times reports that Fallon, currently the host of “Late Night,” will begin hosting the show in February. Fallon has hosted “Late Night” since 2009, and along with his house band The Roots, has developed a variety show that blends music, celebrity impressions and an enthusiastic approach to the talk show format to make it one of the most unique late night programs on the air. Lorne Michaels executive produces Fallon’s current show, and will produce “The Tonight Show” in addition to his “Saturday Night Live” duties. The news follows months of rumors that Fallon would take over the show when Leno’s contract expires next year. The show will be taped at 30 Rock in New York, the first time the show has been taped there since Johnny Carson left in 1972. In a statement, departing host Leno said, “Congratulations Jimmy. I hope you’re as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you’re the old guy. If you need me, I’ll be at the garage.” NBC has attempted a “Tonight Show” host transition once before. In 2004, they announced that Conan O’Brien, then the host of “Late Night,” would take over “The Tonight Show” in 2009. By the time the transition occurred, Leno was still on top of the ratings, and NBC gave Leno a primetime show to prevent him from going to another network. However, faltering ratings of both programs led to NBC installing Leno as the host once again. The network did not mention O’Brien’s stint as the “Tonight Show” host in its press release about the Fallon transition, instead claiming that Leno has hosted “The Tonight Show” since 1992. Leno told the Times that he felt better about this transition. “The main difference between this and the other time is I’m part of the process. The last time the decision was made without me. I came into work one day and — you’re out.” This transition was largely initiated by the threat posed by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, which moved from midnight to 11:35 earlier this year. Although Leno’s program continues to be number one in both overall ratings and the 18-49 demographic, Kimmel’s show has proven to be competitive. And in the Fall of 2014, Jay Leno will take back the Tonight Show. Jordan Strauss/Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP
After Monday’s bikini pictures, we’ve got even more Hayden Panettiere goodness today, this time from Glamour . The cover says it’s their “Ultimate Swimsuit Issue,” but that’s gotta be a typo. Don’t get me wrong, these pictures of Hayden are great, but my ultimate swimsuit issue would include a couple more models sharing a lot fewer swimsuits. I guess these women’s mags don’t understand men as much as they claim to. Related Articles: Hayden Panettiere’s New Big Boobs Are Hollywood Tuna Approved!

Mike Rice has been fired by Rutgers University. The move came one day after footage surfaced of Rice berating his players at practice, throwing basketball at their heads and hurling insults their way after perceived mistakes. Mike Rice Flips Out as Rutgers Players In an email today, the school referred to new information and “a review of previously discovered issues” as the basis for Rice’s termination. “I am responsible for the decision to attempt a rehabilitation of Coach Rice,” said athletic director Tim Pernetti. “Dismissal and corrective action were debated in December, and I thought it was in the best interest of everyone to rehabilitate, but I was wrong. Moving forward, I will work to regain the trust of the Rutgers community.” The Scarlet Knights finished 15-16 this season and 5-13 in the league. “There will never be a time when I use any of that as an excuse,” Rice said in an interview outside his house. “I’ve let so many people down. My players, my administration, Rutgers University, the fans. My family, who’s sitting in their house just huddled around because of the fact that their father was an embarrassment to them… “”I’m deeply sorry for the pain and the hardship that I’ve caused.”

Heeeere’s Jimmy! After weeks of speculating and awkward, unfunny duets , NBC finally make it official today: Jimmy Fallon will take over The Tonight Show in 2014. “Jay Leno is an entertainment icon, making millions of people laugh every weeknight for more than 20 years,” said Steve Burke, Chief Executive Officer of NBCUniversal, adding: “His long reign as the highest-rated late-night host is a testament to his work ethic and dedication to his viewers and to NBC. We are purposefully making this change when Jay is #1, just as Jay replaced Johnny Carson when he was #1. “Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time. I’m thrilled he will become the sixth host of ‘The Tonight Show’ at exactly the right moment, in conjunction with our coverage of next year’s Winter Olympic Games from Sochi, Russia.” Leno’s contract expires next year and the network wanted to make this switch before Jimmy Kimmel could steal more young viewers at 11:35 p.m. “Congratulations Jimmy,” Leno said in a statement. “I hope you’re as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you’re the old guy. If you need me, I’ll be at the garage.” Added Fallon; “I’m really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow.” Who would you prefer to see as host of The Tonight Show?

I had the chance to interview, Kimberly Kane, who is getting a lot of hype for being in Wonder Woman XXX , but who I was talking to about Orgy University, a movie that she directed, that is loosely based on Carrie and that you can see an EXCLUSIVE HARDCORE CLIP OF HERE . Here’s the interview with Kimberly Kane, who really doesn’t seem to like me very much. How did you get into the industry I got into the industry through a friend. She was going to a set to pick up a check. I went with her and felt really comfortable and right at home. The director asked me if I’d ever do a scene and I said yes. I got tested and did my first scene. We’re you at all concerned about what friends and family would think of your choice Not really, my mother was a dancer and she also produced a few softcore/arthouse movies so I grew up around very sex positive people so it wasn’t a surprise that I chose the profession that I did. What was your favorite part of being in front of the Camera? I’m still in front of the camera and my favorite part is the chemistry you have with your fellow performer and doing a really great scene. What inspired you to get behind the scenes? I have a big imagination and I had the opportunity to direct and I took it. It’s another great part of the job. I watched a teaser of your latest , I was into it, how would you describe your style? My style is ALT which mean to me, an alternative to the normal porn you see all the time. I make porn that has a dark vibe and is very stylish without loosing the most important part, sexual intensity. Who would you say your influences from mainstream movies are? I don’t watch a ton of movies, I get a lot of influence from photography. I like Nan Goldin, Nobuyoshi Araki, Larry Clark & Richard Kern to name a few. Based on your experience, what is the flaw in porn movies today ? We just don’t have the time to make a movie that has really developed stories. Most of our movies are shot in 1-3 days so some things get left out or you don’t get everything you want to make the movie fuller. But usually as long as the sex is good the critics can be forgiving. What do you think the public wants out of a movie ? Really chemistry, intensity, quality & production value. How are you going to change the game? I already am. Your Wikipedia page says you are into role playing games and my readers are socially awkward Virgins, can you confirm this is truth and not just a strategy to prey on losers by telling them you are into the only thing they have going for them ? You opinion about your readers and people who play games is rude and misguided. I play dnd with my friends. We played for along time, then we got an opportunity to make it into an online show called “I Hit It With My Axe” and people loved it. We stopped shooting the show a few years ago but continued to play and still do. I like getting together with friends and playing a game. Maybe you should try it sometime. You’re lovely, lets get married under the sunset on our first date. Pass Wow. that hurts me at my core. Good thing I have no soul. Otherwise this rejection would lead to suicide. Even if she rejected me, I win, cuz I get to watch her fuck, if I really want to Follow this link to see the exclusive clip
