It’s been a little over three months since CONAN O’BRIEN left his post on LATE NIGHT and tonight marks his much anticipated transition to hosting THE TONIGHT SHOW. We spoke on the phone with O’BRIEN about the time leading up to the move and he wanted to make it clear that the last few months have been no vacation. (Click on the media bar below):

We spoke over the week-end with the stars of the upcoming ABC Family series 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. It’s the adaptation of the 1999 film that starred the late HEATH LEDGER and introduces audiences to ETHAN PECK (grandson of the legendary GREGORY PECK). We asked PECK if he considered stepping into the role that made LEDGER famous was at all daunting. Listen in below:

Ten years after originating the role of Dr, Walter Stratford in the hit comedy, 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, actor LARRY MILLER is returning to the role in the upcoming ABC Family series of the same name. Since the film is known primarily for introducing American audiences to HEATH LEDGER, we asked MILLER over the week-end if that might be a little too much baggage for a TV comedy to bear.

On this day in 1956, UNIVERSAL PICTURES released THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. This classic ALFRED HITCHCOCK directed story of mistaken identity, murder and mystery starred JAMES STEWART and DORIS DAY and continues to be a ‘must-see’ film.

On this day in 1967, the Beatles release the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album, which took four months and $75,000 to record, sold over eight million copies and spent 15 weeks at No. 1.

On this day in 1955, UNIVERSAL PICTURES  released THIS ISLAND EARTH,  a low-budget sci-fi thriller about aliens come to Earth to recuit scientists to help them win a battle. Directed by JOSEPH M. NEWMAN, the film featured a great cast of B-movie favorites including JEFF MORROW, REX REASON, LANCE FULLER and RUSSELL JOHNSON (the Professor from GILLIGAN’S ISLAND.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag may or may not believe they are celebrities, but they definitely want out.

The duo tried to quit NBC’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! the very first day they arrived in Costa Rica to shoot the “C-Listers in distress” reality show, which premieres Monday.

“They wanted to be treated like stars,” a high-level source on the series tells E! News’ Ryan Seacrest. “[Spencer] literally thought he and Heidi were staying in a Four Seasons, working out and getting a tan.”

The two refused to eat the same food as the rest of the cast, and complained about being teamed with low-wattage stars, among them former model/reality show queen Janice Dickinson, actors Stephen Baldwin and Lou Diamond Phillips, former NBA star John Salley and American Idol castoff Sanjaya Malakar. An NBC exec had to coax the newlyweds to remain on board.

Sacha Baron Cohen is at it again.

In another MTV “holy cow” moment along the lines of the famous Madonna/Britney Spears french kiss, Cohen faced off with Enimem. Quite literally.

 In character as Bruno, the flamboyant Austrian fashion reporter, Cohen, clothed in angel gear with a visibly bare bottom, was lowered from the rafters of Universal Studios’ Gibson Amphitheater and landed smack on Eminem’s face. A visibly upset Eminem said audibly “Are you (expletive) serious?” and tried to swat away Cohen. Members of Eminem’s entourage attempted to extricate Cohen from Eminem’s face. Moments later, cameras caught Eminem storming out.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Lucy Punch is the next Nicole Kidman — in the new Woody Allen film, that is.

The British actress wowed the writer-director with a screen test and secured the role that Kidman had taken in March and vacated weeks later because of a scheduling conflict.

The relative unknown, who starred on the CBS series “The Class” and had roles in “Hot Fuzz” and “Ella Enchanted,” joins Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto, Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins in the untitled project.

The film will shoot in London in the summer.

And, next year, this will:
