Joan Jett and The Blackhearts….really? What year is it now? Maybe if we were in 1984, but 2010? What happened to all the real musical acts?
There’s a movie called The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning opening March 16th that is a biopic of Joan Jett. It doesn’t get much more current or relevant that that. What year are you in? And when is your biopic coming out?
Yay! I heard a rumor that Adam Lambert was going to be on, and I wasn’t going to be able to resist watching him (though I was sad that he’d go on Leno). But he’s not on the line-up. I can maintain my tv-consumer integrity AND my Adam fandom. -whew-
stick your head out from under the rug and quit buying what the spin doctor Conan is selling, don’t drink that koolaid cause it only makes you look dumb. Haven’t you heard the truth? It was Conan who wanted Leno’s job in the first place when Jay had it and was number 1. He got it, he failed, that’s life. Whoo Hoooo!!! HOwever ConaN TRIED TO SPIN IT, the truth will prevail and only the clueless won’t see it for what it is.
Sorry Em, but I think Adam will be on. Not sure when, but he was highlighted on a Tonight show commercial. As a fellow Adam fan, I’m already ready to skip his Tonight Show appearance.
Wow, that is an impressive line up all ready. (except for Palin) I will be watching, the nights seem familiar again. I won’t be missing the spin Doctor (Conan) whining about the unfairness of it all when he instigated Jay’s leaving to begin with. Congrat’s Jay, back where you belong, the universal energy has spoken and righted NBC’s big blunder.
Interesting. This list has celebs, but none that will draw a large crowd. Maybe Sarah Palin, but that’s about it. The Olympic stars will make the rounds of talk shows.
Do all the Jay and Palin bashing you want she just get her more popular you left wing loons, how many times do you have to get kicked in the head that people are tired of this BS; you’ll be out of power in November and the anointed one will be a lame duck presdient in 2012.
Sarah Palin and Jersey Shore? Was the singing fish from the McDonald’s ads unavailable?
This thread is proof that people will believe what they want to believe. The truth is really irrelevant to most people. What’s the point of being uncivil or trying to persuade someone?
Jay Leno and NBC are on the clock!!…when September arrives and Conan is back with his new show…”hell is going to break loose”…I hope Conan lands on ABC, and not on pathetic FOX…
We don’t believe leno will ever recover, he has a much longer shot than Tiger Woods…
Leno’s back where he belongs???!!
he belongs off the air and learn to keep his word.. Go do your silly stand up for all the blue hairs in middle america but please please dont come back on….you are the biggest unfunny bore in history of late night
Palin & Leno are a great combination because I Hate them both! They deserve eachother!
1.Weichselbaum rejects Sarah Palin’s invitation to go Moose hunting. The former Alaska governor, Sarah Palin invited Eric Weichselbaum on a moose hunting expedition in Iliamna, Alaska, but Weichselbaum, turned down the invite. “Killing animals for sport is not for me,” Weichselbaum said. While he respectfully declined the invite, Weichselbaum told Palin that he’d be glad to take part in a helicopter tour of Alaska, as long as shotguns are not involved.
Gov. Schwarzenegger consults Weichselbaum on Green Engine Initiative
Eric Weichselbaum was included on a panel of experts from different sectors of the auto industry who met with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger this month to discuss a new low emissions engine initiative that the governor hopes to put into effect next year. The panel includes consultants from auto manufacturing, marketing, dealerships and consumer groups. Weichselbaum, whose expertise as an automobile customizer and racer brought him onboard, is familiar with the Governor’s strategies and said he looks forward to working closely with the panel to improve the environmental effects of high performance engines.
