From the lovely blog os Perez Hilton, Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Conan O'Brien next year on Late Night, when the ginger-haired comedian replaces Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.
The Saturday Night Live alum should easily appeal to the college dudes that watch O'Brien, but...
Will he bring in new viewers????
Unlikely!

Weird club scene: A newly single Al Reynolds was hitting on women and "drinking all night with his pinky in the air." Sean Combs, in the same establishment, was sitting in the corner reading a book. PIC HERE

Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson: Engaged??? Apparently she has a huge new rock on her finger. A source says, "He picked out the ring and went for the biggest one he could find. He was nervous about proposing but Kate was thrilled and the whole thing was really emotional." Hmmm, I don't think so guys. Hudson is filming a movie about brides or weddings or something, it's probably just costume jewelry.
Amy Winehouse got out of her vehicle and began roaming around the motorway. The singer was stuck in a traffic jam when she exited the car she was riding in, and walked from car to car attempting to find a cigarette lighter from her fellow motorists.
At one point she pulled up her purple vest to bare her midriff as she did a spot of sun baking while leaning on the bonnet of a car.
In a troubling sign, the 24-year-old's arms were covered in fresh scratches and cigarette burns, thought to be the result of self-harming.
Bleck. She totally freaks me out!

Star magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are expecting twin girls in July. "Brad can't wait - he absolutely adores little girls," a "family insider" tells the tabloid. "And Angelina just loves seeing him and the other kids so excited and happy." The Jolie-Pitts are currently spending time in France awaiting the birth of their babies.
Baby Mama star Amy Poehler, 36, and her husband, actor Will Arnett, 37, are expecting their first child together. The baby is due sometime this fall.
One of the icons of the celebrity baby names world is Pilot Inspektor, the four-year-old son of actors Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf (now Splitsville). Lee's new girlfriend, Ceren Alkac, is expecting a baby in the fall. It's the first child for the couple. How on earth are they going to find a name that can hold its own against Pilot Inspektor?
I think naming the child after a chipmunk would be funny, but I admit I wouldn't do it. And I doubt Lee will either.
In other news but also related to baby names, Matthew McConaughey is said to be in favor of naming his upcoming son, expected in July, after his favorite beer.
The high-testosterone star apparently loves to chug a Budweiser now and then, so his name of choice for the baby is Bud. Hmmm. I'm not digging it, reminds me of "Married With Children..." and that's not a good thing.
You just never know what you're going to get on The Martha Stewart Show. Today: We make our own herb garden kits. And later, Glenn Close recalls the time she was buried alive with her husband! Wait-what?
Irvine Robbins, who with his brother-in-law, Burton Baskin, started the Baskin-Robbins chain of ice cream stores - together concocting quirky flavor combinations with names like Daiquiri Ice, Pink Bubblegum and Here Comes the Fudge - died on Monday near his home in Rancho Mirage, California. He was 90 years old.

Lindsay Lohan, reportedly signed on to star in a movie about a girl who lies about being pregnant.
She'll star next in "Labor Pains," a comedy produced by Rick Schwartz about a young woman who pretends to be pregnant to avoid being fired. "When she's treated better by everyone in her life, she tries to keep up the lie for nine months," says a source.
Uh oh. A San Diego federal district court magistrate has found the Schwarzenegger administration's demands for large payments by the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians to the state's general fund, in return for a gaming compact amendment that allows the tribe to add additional slot machines, to be an illegal tax in violation of federal law.

Barbara Walters, 78, writes in her book, "Auditions," that the affair with former Massachusetts Sen. Edward Brooke in the 1970s almost ended both their careers.
At the time, the twice-divorced Walters was a rising television news star and co-host of the "Today" show. When her lover, who's now 88, told the newswoman she was the oldest woman he had ever been with, she wanted to say - but never did - "Oh yeah? Well you are the blackest man I have ever been with," Walters writes.
Brooke, the first black member of the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction, was so in love with Walters he told his wife he wanted a divorce.
Enraged, his wife tried to reveal the affair to the National Enquirer, Walters writes. A phone call from a worried friend reminding Walters that Brooke was up for reelection the next year and that her job could be in jeopardy persuaded Walters to call it quits.
"I slowly began asking myself if we could ever be married. Would such a marriage destroy his career? Would it destroy mine?" Walters wonders in the book.
For so long Johnny Depp, John Cusack, Will Smith and well who cares all other names escape me. After seeing Iron Man this evening I can firmly and without doubt assure you my celebrity crush is Robert Downey, Jr. And quite frankly I don't care that he is in his 40s.
Now ladies, I know, you probably are scoffing at me as he has never really played a role in which he was heart throb worthy. However, I am certain there are many, many, many, MANY women fantasizing about Robert Downey, Jr. now.
Obviously Tony Stark is a heart throb comic icon. I mean everything about his character is ruthless and yet so charismatic. My God what is must have felt to be Pepper! Look at him all buff for the part I definitely have a thing for shoulders, that perfect facial hair scruff! Hot damn!
So then I began my research.
Here is an interview snippet: Whilst his character was encased in metal, Downey Jr. still had to prepare physically, to ensure he wouldn’t look out of place getting into his armour. "I trained a lot! If you're 22 or 32 you train for 6 weeks and look great for 6 months. Whereas I trained for 6 months and look good for about 6 seconds." Hehehe.
And I found this site. How did I not know he had an album released in 2004!? His song "Broken" is utterly amazing. I am going to have to buy the album now.
Yes, yes I am ga-ga!
Pardon me while I drool, sigh a little and bite my lip a bit. I hope his wife Susan knows how lucky she is...I mean even though she is beautiful and probably makes him wicked lucky, too.
I whole heartedly agree in the ratings, though I would give it 4 stars. The acting, the effects, the music all of it was fantastic. Braeden and I waited until the credits ended and yes there is something to wait for. I wasn't sure, but I had to wait, I had to know. And I am sooooooooooooo excited at the prospects. The last minute clip showed Samuel Jackson and gave us a teaser for The Avengers!
Move over Angelina and Ashlee because Beyonce Knowles is going to be adding her name onto the celebrity mommy list.
Reportedly, all the wedding guests - friends and family - know the truth. So which one (or two) of them are the "multiple sources" Hollyscoop claims to have spoken with?
It's suggested in one report that Beyonce's "strong Christian beliefs" spurred the quickie trip to the altar.

We know Paula has been irking people plately. Some have even actually written into the show and asked her to be removed as a judge on American Idol.
"Idol" Executive Producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz told the Hollywood Reporter this week that the "Idol" judging/host lineup will remain the same.
"We are constantly looking at the show with an eye towards improving the viewing experience," she said. "However, after seven seasons on air as the most popular show on television, one thing is certain: Randy, Paula and Simon are, and will be, our judges, and Ryan is, and will be, our host."
