Someone close to Conan O’Brien told me the other day that Tom Hanks has already been asked to be the first guest on Conans TBS show, but he’s a damn scrub compared to who will be on George Lopez one hour later. Deadline Hollywood says…
Conan O’Brien and George Lopez are expected to make a splash in their first week together in November on TBS with a lineup of A-list guests. I’ve heard that Sandra Bullock, who is George’s close friend and executive produced his ABC sitcom, may appear on his newly moved 12 AM-1 AM talk show that week.
And the Chicago Sun Times ads…
Bullock is not only a longtime personal friend of Lopez, she also served as an executive producer of the comedian’s old ABC sitcom, where she guested a few times.
”More important than all that, George has been one of Sandy’s most supportive and genuinely caring friends as she has gone through the nightmare of the past couple months,” said another longtime close Bullock buddy.
”He personifies how a real friend acts when someone you love is going through a hellish situation.”
I don’t even think George Lopez is funny but he still seems to be a likable guy. And I’m not just saying that so I don’t look racist. Okay actually I am. Because I’m incredibly racist. The truth is I’m pretty sure I saw George Lopez steal my car radio one time. Him and Denzel Washington.
UPDATE - not one single person emailed to tell me i had ’snadra’ in the headline for like 3 hours, but im okay with that because the last thing i want is people emailing me every time my spelling or punctuation or grammar set a new low.
One reason I think Brad Pitt is cool is because he used to go to Ultimate Fighting matches way back in the early days. And not because it was some media event in a fabulous casino, this was back when it wasn't even allowed in the continental US. They would be on some tropical island somewhere and then the camera would scan through the crowd and there would be Brad Pitt. The point to all this is that Brad and Angelina Jolie were in Vegas to watch Ricky Hatton get knocked out in the 10th by Floyd Mayweather Saturday night at the MGM Grand (video here). Also there were David Beckham, Denzel Washington, Kid Rock, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, among others. It was a good fight, although I don't agree that people should fight for money. I use my karate for good, not for profit. Like when I saved the rec center from those greedy developers. My fists are made of steel, my kicks are weapons of honor!
(I have no idea what anyone is saying in that clip, but they mention the first Corrales/Castillo fight, which was good enough for me since thats maybe the greatest fight of all time.)
The New York Daily News stopped Denzel Washington last night on the red carpet for the premier of his new movie "Déjà Vu", and he gave the expected answer when asked what he was working on next:
"I'm working on eating some turkey, going home, putting my feet up, watching TV and getting fat. I'm going to do a good job at it, too!"
He did not give the expected answer when asked who the hottest actress he ever worked with was:
"Dakota, by far - she's the hottest of the bunch!"
That would be Dakota Fanning. Who is 13. Rawr! What a sexy story. Denzel should send her some gummi worms and a snap bracelet. If Dakota doesn't respond to that, she must be like a total ice princess.
