It’s official: NBC announced today that Jimmy Fallon will succeed Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.

Leno will wrap up 22 years of hosting the franchise in spring 2014, at the end of network’s coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Fallon, who currently reigns at 12:30 a.m. with his Late Night, will then take over as the franchise’s sixth host.

As previously reported, The Tonight Show will return to its original home in 30 Rock in New York and will be executive-produced by Lorne Michaels (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock). He replaces longtime EP Debbie Vickers.

It’s unclear who will take over Late Night, Fallon’s current show. An announcement is expected soon. READ FULL STORY »

Tags: , News

Jimmy Fallon definitely classed up the talk about his ascendance to The Tonight Show throne Monday by joining Jay Leno for a late-night “duet.”

In this clip, the two NBC hosts share a phone call that begins with Fallon asking Leno if they’re still friends (“of course,” replies the reigning late night king). The men then begin a rousing (and lip-synced) version of West Side Story’s “Tonight,” in which they poke fun at whether the franchise will move to New York, and how Leno has “Fox on the line, or maybe he’ll take over for Dave.” READ FULL STORY »

Buckwild

The star of MTV’s controversial reality show Buckwild was found dead in a car in West Virginia after he reportedly went off-roading with a family member, EW has confirmed.

The body of Shain Gandee, 21, was found in his truck with two others in Kanawha County today. Earlier, authorities had issued a missing persons report for Gandee, and his uncle, David Gandee, 48. The duo was last seen at a Sissonville bar early Sunday, where they said they planned to go four-wheeling. Reports say the family searched for the men Sunday before calling 911.

Early Monday morning, Buckwild co-star Cara Parrish tweeted, “It sure is hard to find someone when they take off if they don’t believe in cell phones,” and added the hashtag “#I’mGoingToPlantAGPSInShain.” READ FULL STORY »

Lifetime will premiere an hour-long documentary that pays tribute to Cher’s mom Georgia Holt on May 6.

Dear Mom, Love Cher will focus on the singer’s family history and features interviews with Holt, her daughters Cher and Georganne LaPiere Bartylak, and grandchildren Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman. The documentary will begin with Holt’s childhood in rural Arkansas and chronicle her six “tumultuous” marriages while she helped Cher to pursue a career.

The documentary also features a never-before-heard duet performance with Holt and Cher, along with the long-lost recordings Holt taped more than three decades ago that Cher has re-mastered for commercial release later this year.

“This project started as a gift for my mom’s 86th birthday.  Like most things in my family, it was initiated by my sister Georganne, who asked me if I could update mom’s album,” said Cher in a statement. So I went big … I’m known in the family for doing that. My sister and I are proud of our mom and we want to share her with the world.  My mom is exactly like Rocky.  She never gives up!”

William Petersen remains one of the more sought-after actors to headline a TV show but the former star of CSI isn’t ready to come back to broadcast TV … yet. Instead, he’s set to appear Friday opposite Julia Stiles in Blue, a web series in its second season from Rodrigo Garcia (Albert Nobbs, In Treatment) about a single mom who’s trying to protect her son from the consequences of her secret career as an upscale escort. Petersen, who splits his time between Los Angeles and Chicago, plays Blue’s (Stiles) father, who has been in jail for the majority of her life and is serving a life sentence.

“Rodrigo just asked,” Petersen tells EW of the one-day shoot in Culver City, CA. “It was kind of cool, this two-person scene. I mean, there’s no money. But it’s sort of old school filmmaking. It was bare bones, a couple of walls. A piece of glass.”

Here’s an exclusive peek at Blue, which can be found on You Tube’s WIGS channel. The current season of Blue ends April 5 and also stars Mark Consuelos, Holly Robinson Peete and Kathleen Quinlan. READ FULL STORY »

One deal closed, now two more go: Fox announced today that Demi Lovato will return as a judge for the third season of The X Factor.

Last season, Lovato served as a mentor in the young adults category alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Britney Spears. Naturally, Cowell will stick around but Reid and Spears both said they won’t return.

“I couldn’t be happier that Demi wants to come back this year,” said Cowell in a statement. “She’s a superstar in her own right and was a fantastic mentor last year. Even though she can be really, really annoying – I truly enjoyed working with her and so did the artists. I’m especially pleased she’s back even during her world tour!”

“I am so excited to return as a judge and mentor on The X Factor,” added Lovato in a statement. “Last season was an unbelievable experience and I really enjoyed developing personal relationships with the contestants and the panel. I look forward to taking my previous experience and applying it to make this season even better!”

Lovato’s new deal will help maintain some continuity on the show, which will undergo more change before returning this fall. No word yet on who will replace Reid or Spears, and it’s unclear whether Khloe Kardashian will return as a co-host.
