Conan’s O’Brien’s 30-city Comedy Tour May be Turned into a Documentary

Conan O’Brien’s ‘Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television’ tour, may be turned into a documentary, with Rodman Flender in talks to direct.  Tickets for the show have already sold out at Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden.  Conan’s tour is a brilliant way for him to work with his staff until he signs a deal with another network.  It’s also possible that his NBC settlement keeps him off of television for a short period of time, so this way everyone can make a few extra bucks.  By a “few extra bucks,” I mean millions and millions of dollars.

 

Sandra Bullock May be Part of the Oscar Curse

If the rumors about Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are true, she will join a long line of women that had relationships end after getting an Oscar. So are these men not “man enough” to handle a woman’s success? I doubt it. I think that these marriages were probably over prior to the Oscars, and the couples stayed together to avoid drawing attention away from awards season. See the unfortunate list below.

Kim Kardashian May Leave ‘Keeping up With the Kardashians’

It looks like Kim Kardashian’s contract is up on ‘Keeping up With the Kardashians,’ and E! may not want to increase her pay.  What does this mean?  It means both sides are releasing statements in the press about how one doesn’t need the other.  Kim’s people said that she no longer needs to open up her personal life for the cameras, and E! has said that as long as they have Khloe and Kourtney, that is all they need.  Apparently, Kim is exploring “bigger offers” anyways.  Does anyone ever move from a reality show into a bigger and better world?  Oh wait . . . there is ‘The Price of Beauty’ with Jessica Simpson. 

Sandra Bullock Pulls out of London Premiere of ‘The Blind Side’

This is crazy.  Sandra Bullock has pulled out of the UK premiere of ‘The Blind Side.’  The premiere was set for next Tuesday, but Warner Bros. canceled it after Bullock pulled out due to “unforeseen personal circumstances.”  The tabloids are growing crazy with speculation that Jesse James cheated on Bullock while she was filming ‘The Blind Side.’  This might strike you as nuts considering she just discussed her happy marriage on Barbara Walters’ Oscar special.  Not that I believe it, but keep in mind that that Oscar special is filmed quite some time before the Oscars, and it just looks current because of when it is aired. 

The Dixie Chicks are Reuniting on Tour

The ‘Dixie Chicks’ are back!  The group hasn’t released a new album since their successful 2006 album, ‘Taking the Long Way.’  Fans feared the end of the ‘Dixie Chicks,’ when Martie Maguire and Emily Robison formed a new group without lead singer Natalie Maines, called ‘Court Yard Hounds.’  Fear not! Their tour begins in Toronto on June 8, 2010.  The Eagles and Keith Urban will also be joining them.  No word yet on whether the group will start recording new music anytime soon.

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler Love to Keep us Guessing

These two are at it again.  Here’s a brief recap: Jennifer Aniston is pissed that the media is accusing her of faking a relationship with Gerard Butler to promote ‘The Bounty Hunter.’  She’s hates the accusation, but she and Butler still enjoy plenty of friendly pawing.  See the snuggle fest below. 

‘American Idol’ Needs to Bring Back Alex Lambert

It’s definitely not possible to bring a contestant back at this point.  That being said, the fact that Alex Lambert didn’t make the top 12 on American Idol, further proves my point that they should have had a wild card round this season.  Lambert might end up with a great career though.  His online following is growing.  Watch him perform below so that you can join me in my disappointment.
