Conan is Back! Sort Of!

By Stacey Nosek | Posted Under Pajiba Love | Comments (51)

Conan O’Brien has a twitter page now, and I think I heard something crazy like he had more followers in his first hour than Jay Leno has in total. No big surprise there. (Twitter)

To promote Cop Out, Tracy Morgan went on Jimmy Kimmel and made a rap video about impregnating women. Just … Wow. (Warming Glow)

Beverly Hills is trying to disown their representative for the Miss California pageant for being homophobic like that other one. They should really disown her just because man is she uggo. Just look at that mug! (Celebitchy)

Awesome news! Best Worst Movie, the documentary about Troll 2, is finally getting a theatrical release. (Gordon and the Whale)

So, fashion photographer Terry Richardson did a photoshoot with the boys from “Jersey Shore.” Uhh, sure. Why not? (Litelysalted)

I don’t normally post links to trailers since we typically cover them as trade news items, but I’m pretty sure no one here touched The Gute’s new “horror indie” (read: straight-to-DVD) flick, Cornered. (Bloody Disgusting)

The latest installment of “American Idol” featured dudes with “Carol Brady” mullets. Because of course it did. (Hairballs)

I don’t know how long this website is around, before I tell you it’s new and then you all chastise me for it — but it’s new to me anyway. Go here to commiserate with others on horrible dating experiences. Thanks, Patty O’Green! (My Very Worst Date)

Oh noes! YouTube accidentally pulled the infamous RickRoll video after it finally made Rick Astley a household name. (Agent Bedhead)

Why anyone would ever want to shave a baby is beyond me — I mean, they generally don’t have much hair to begin with — but there’s a doll for that, just in case you ever get the urge. (Frothy Girlz)

Matthew Goode went all Heigl and threw Leap Year under the bus. To be fair, I did hear it sucked. (Film Drunk)

As if I needed a reason to steer clear of this Chat Roulette business, apparently Ashton Kutcher is out there lurking around on it. (Evil Beet)

Oh, and while I’m on the subject of that asshat, here’s a quiz to determine Confucius sayings from Ashton Kutcher’s tweets. It’s actually harder than you’d think. (mental floss)

Lady Gaga is posing on the cover of Q Magazine with a strap-on. Shocking, I know. (Yeeeah!)

We’ve got our Book Club post coming up in just a bit, but in the meantime here is a “Reading Rainbow” review of Lolita. Thanks to Mrs. Smith!

Thanks for posting, Stacey!
Guys, make sure you read "Here Comes Santa", and read the comment from some guy named tronner. If this guy isn't a Pajiban, he needs to be.

I didn't know Levar Burton is gay.

Posted by: Gozer at February 25, 2010 1:17 PM

The California pageant contestant being homophobic goes right up there with Palin preaching about abstinence being the only way to teach children in school, while she has an pregnant teenage daughter.

I'm also waiting for people to start in that the Lady Gaga picture doesn't sport her wearing a strap-on, but rather just her natural penis.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at February 25, 2010 1:21 PM

They shaved my head a day after I was born. I don't blame them, really. My hair started juuuust above my eyebrows, and it was long and spiky.

Yes, I was an ugly baby. Even my mom's admitted it.

Posted by: Bizarro Sofía at February 25, 2010 1:25 PM

So, Matthew Goode's excuse is

"I was told it was going to be like 'The Quiet Man' with a Vaughan Williams soundtrack, but in the end, it turned out to have pop music all over it."

Has he seen The Quiet Man? It is a goddamn awful film from start to finish. It's an embarrassment, full of the worst cliches anyone could imagine. Worst of all is it's premise that all a difficult woman needs is a strong man to slap her into submission.

Posted by: PaddyDog at February 25, 2010 1:35 PM

Oh WOW, I have not seen a mug like that since Benji came out. Yeesh. I'm not sure whether to tell her to shut her stupid face up or give her a Snausage.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at February 25, 2010 1:38 PM

Oh man, that date site is just painful. I love it.

Posted by: Snath at February 25, 2010 1:40 PM

Stacey doesn't know much about anything, does she? I think describing Terry Richardson a "fashion photographer" is unusual, if not misleading. Especially on a website that's main focus is film.

Posted by: Gobo at February 25, 2010 1:42 PM

I got 90% on the Kutcher/Confucius quiz. Yay me!

Posted by: Jadine at February 25, 2010 1:43 PM

I saw the 'shaveable babies' thing on feministing, and it turns out the guy who created it is some kinda weird artist...it's not a for-real product.

Also, 'shavable babies' is fun to say fast.

Posted by: banana at February 25, 2010 1:44 PM

OK, Gay sex = bad. Living in sin premarital sex and documentation of said evil = no problem. Got it. The bible really is black and white.

Oh yeah, Jesus had twelve apostles, none were female. Just sayin'.

Posted by: admin at February 25, 2010 1:53 PM

Two things:

1) Clearly the "coaches" who make a living grooming idiots for "beauty" contests have cottoned on to the fact that if you spout some conservative crap, you'll get far more attention that if you say nothing. All these comments are so disingenuous and positioned intentionally for the publicity.

2) Kinda funny isn't it that people always quote the Old Testament when they want to spew hate and they do in the name of Jesus whereas he doesn't make an appearance until the New Testament and tells everyone forget all that stuff, I have two rules for you and they both boil down to treating people nicely the way you yourself would want to be treated.

Got it. The bible really is black and white.

Well, despite where the Bible actually takes place, to them it's still just white.

Posted by: branded at February 25, 2010 2:08 PM

Pleeeeeaaaase don't make make me join Twitter just to follow Conan O'Brien.

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Tw-

Aw hell.

Oh, Gobo, godbless. So, which one of those real dolls do you have stashed in your room?

Posted by: sarahk at February 25, 2010 2:28 PM

Funny or Die is very rarely funny. But that clip was great.

And how does the pagent queen being homophobic effect how she looks in a bikini?

Posted by: EricD at February 25, 2010 2:32 PM

I was just on Twitter, O'Brien has almost 300,000 followers.

sarahk, I was wondering when someone would address that comment, thanks. I couldn't come up with anything good.

Posted by: Jadine at February 25, 2010 2:40 PM

That date site makes me really glad to be a man.

"Oh no, I was drunk and made an ass of myself!" VS. "Oh no, I was sexually assaulted by a serial killer!"

Yikes.

Pagent girl is buttfuckinugly. Yikes!

Holy crap, Jonny Von Awesome, psychic moment. Yikes!

Posted by: Jadine at February 25, 2010 2:43 PM

Damn. Now I have join Twitter (the same old stupid banal BS now in 155 characters!) to follow Conan O'Brien. Conan, couldn't you have just started a blog, like everybody else?

Posted by: True_Blue at February 25, 2010 2:45 PM

PaddyDog, what a relief to hear someone on this site say something positive and true about the Bible! It makes my blood boil that the Christians holding microphones and megaphones make us all look like hateful morons. All of Jesus' teachings can be summed by the word LOVE.

Posted by: Patty O'Green at February 25, 2010 3:02 PM

Well, Jesus' love wasn't always unconditional. Often when he did a good turn for someone it was followed by the admonition "Go and sin no more."* People who point out the former like to forget the latter. He also has a reputation as a hippie-dippie love child pansy, strange for a career carpenter/stonemason guy who got pissed once and beat the crap out of the moneychangers and chased them out of the temple.

*--Not calling gay folks sinners, was thinking more of tax collectors, harlots and lepers (the AIDS victims of their day). You know, the people Jesus tended to actually hang out with when he wasn't hanging out with scruffy fishermen. And a lot of people who like to quote him forget THAT, too.

Posted by: , at February 25, 2010 3:12 PM

I wouldn't put Matthew Goode in the Heigl category just yet. Leap Year was shit and everyone knew that; it certainly didn't get good reviews like Knocked Up. He did it for the money and the location. At least he's not trying to be a dick about it.

I thought Leap Year looked just like that Italian movie he did with Mandy Moore, but that's another story.

On the happy front, Seth Green is engaged. Congrats to him. For some reason, I thought he was gay.

Posted by: Brie at February 25, 2010 3:16 PM

Oh GaGa...she's teasing me now....damn her to hades.

Posted by: Nadine at February 25, 2010 3:22 PM

Brie, me too! I was certain of it in fact!

"Oh yeah, Jesus had twelve apostles, none were female."

Dudes' Night Out!

Posted by: Recondite at February 25, 2010 3:30 PM

, I don't see his rules as being a condition of his love. If you sinned and repented, he would forgive and tell you not to do it again. And if you sinned again, the cycle would continue. Also, the following or forgetting of rules had little/nothing to do with love. When your dog pees on the rug, you punish it then reteach it. Does that mean you don't love it? (I really hope people don't over-react to that metaphor. I'm asking, in advance, that people untwist their panties.)

FYI, you don't need to join Twitter to follow someone's Twitter feed. Just use the page's RSS feed for your Google Reader, or whatever reader you use. Assuming, of course, you use some sort of reader.

That Tracy Morgan video is as good as any rap video I've ever seen. Seriously.

When did California get so churchy? I thought everybody out there was all "I'm OK, you're OK" when they're not tanning, surfing or trying to get some blow.

OK, that's a better way of putting it. I was kind of clumsy trying to make my point, which was that He didn't just walk around dropping flower petals and love on everyone. Sometimes those folks who got a healing got a message too, and the message was not necessarily one they might want to hear.

Posted by: mary magdalene at February 25, 2010 4:03 PM

Oh wow. That chick from Beverly Hills has a jaw like an '80s cartoon superhero.

I am NOT a whore. Didn't you read the DaVinci code yet??

Every time someone dares to quote the Bible when it comes to gay marriage, I think of this, the most brilliant moment in television history:

FUCK YES, Mr. President.

Posted by: figgy at February 25, 2010 5:03 PM

And bah, Gaga. You can't even see the strap-on. Tease.

Posted by: figgy at February 25, 2010 5:09 PM

Brie well, I was always hoping that he was. Not that I stood a chance with him, anyway.

How about another article like this one!

I just wanna share my experience here. I found my boyfriend several months ago, who is 10 years older than me, at http://EUAgeless.com/, a free place for age-gap relationship. It's fabulous! Maybe you wanna check it!

Posted by: Jim at February 26, 2010 1:13 AM

Lady Gaga is posing on the cover of Q Magazine with a strap-on. Shocking, I know.

You don't have to be mean, that's just her nose.

I've got a problem with seeing your page correctlly through the most recent version of Opera. It is fine in IE7 and Firefox though.Have a nice day.

Posted by: Bernard D. Adams at February 27, 2010 7:30 AM

Lady Gaga is awesome and doesn't deserve any of the abuse she gets. There will constantly be pretenders but Lady Gaga is going to be around forever
