Conan O’Brien’s Twitter Account

I usually don’t care about twitter but I will make an exception for this. Conan O’Brien just started a twitter account. It’s been about a day, and he already has around 350,000 followers. Go CoCo!! Here are his two tweets so far:

Ryan Cabrera is Joining The Hills

Ryan Cabrera, Audrina Patridge’s new boyfriend, will appear on the next season of The Hills.

This might be a great opportunity for him to resurrect his career. Listen to his song below.

Hurt Locker Producer Caught Campaigning for Oscar Votes

It’s no secret that this kind of thing happens, but it’s important to apologize when you’re caught. An email was recently leaked, which revealed a producer for The Hurt Locker asking everyone to vote for his film. He also criticized Avatar in the email. The problem? It violates Academy rules, and it is not in the friendly spirit of celebrating cinema. It simply is not good sportsmanship. Instead, you must pretend that you don’t care at all whether you win or lose.

Prince is Being Sued

Prince is being sued by promoters for canceling a performance at Croke Park in 2008. Part of Prince’s defense is that his agents did not have the authority to bind him to the gig, and that he did not personally agree to it. The agents have debunked that claim in recent testimony, by stating that they had express authority from Prince to book gigs and at no point did Prince tell them to cancel the gig on his behalf. I tend to side with the promoters. Prince is notoriously difficult. In fact, listen to the clip of Howard Stern railing on Prince while discussing a personal experience with him. It’s pretty funny.
