James Franco Made A Sex Tape

We got some good news and bad news for you James Franco fans out there. The good news is, he made a sex tape. The bad news, it’s apparently pretty awful. During an appearance on Conan last night, the Rise of The Planet of the Apes star and renaissance man came clean about the one aspect of film he’s not so great at. “When I was young, it’s not like I went down to Van Nuys and tried to break into the porn industry,” he admitted. “I got a video camera and my girlfriend and I decided to film ourselves. And watched it back and said yeah, let’s never watch that again.” Although we’d kind of expect as much. If he can’t get the energy level up for hosting the dang Oscars, we can’t imagine his sex tape would be any better.

But the experience made him have a new reverence and respect for adult film stars. “Those people in porno’s are great performers,” says the Academy Award nominee. “They’re selling it to an audience!” He then went on to randomly mention his grandma in the next breath, for reasons we can only guess at. Damn it Franco, first rule of the porn industry: NEVER bring up Nanna.

Olivia Wilde Discusses Her Favorite Vagina Tattoo

If Ke$ha ever sees this video, so help the youth of America. If you happened to be watching Conan last night, you now know more than you ever thought you would about Olivia Wilde’s vagina tattoo preferences. While stopping by late night to plug her new film The Change-Up, Wilde recounted how her character ends up getting inked in an intimate area, leading her to describe “the best vagina tattoo I’ve ever seen.” Which is a topic we’re endlessly fascinated in, considering the ones we’ve seen are extremely underwhelming.

Despite the fact that we are 12-years-old and almost lost consciousness after hearing an A-lister say the words “pubic hair” on TV (“I am about to pass out,” Coco informs her. “Hold me for this part!”), the Cowboys And Aliens star describes the best lady ink she’s ever seen thusly: “A little man with a lawnmower, walking along! Isn’t that great?” Then Olivia acts it out. Olivia Wilde: one of the few celebrities who we actually like more the more we hear her talk. About vagina tattoos.

Coco Apologizes For Accidentally Stealing Jimmy Kimmel’s Rudolph Joke

It takes a strong man to admit he’s wrong, but it takes an even stronger one to admit that he might have accidentally ripped off Jimmy Kimmel. Earlier today Conan O’Brien apologized for copying Jimmy Kimmel’s Rudolph video in a web-exclusive message he posted to his TeamCoco site. While both bits involved Sarah Palin gunning down the beloved Christmas icon, Coco’s video aired this past Wednesday and Jimmy’s video premiered two weeks ago. In all honesty, Conan could do a entire word-for-word reenactment of Wayne’s World and we wouldn’t care, but it is nice of him to clear the air.

Conan’s version of Rudolph’s untimely demise has since been removed from the show’s website, but Jimmy’s Kimmel Kartoon is still viewable online. What do you think? Is this case of unintentional plagiarism, or just a really easy joke? Given that former Governor Palin did shoot a reindeer on her reality show Sarah Palin’s Alaska, and has proudly talked about devouring delicious caribou and moose, we’re going to assume it’s the latter. More importantly, would Sarah Palin eat Rudolph if given the opportunity and/or proper ammunition? Our guess is: probably.

The Kardashians Tell Conan About Using Mayo On Their Lady Business(es?)

While chatting last night with Conan O’Brien, the Kardashians revealed the ultimate in secret beauty tips: slathering mayonnaise on your vagina! Explained Kourtney, “I told Khloe that I found her sex mask under my bed, that she’s been looking for, and then she wrote me back, ‘Oh my god, I found your jar of mayonnaise that you use on your vagina.’” It just gives it that extra zip! Said Kourtney, “People were like, what does mayonnaise on your vagina do? And we said it makes it shine like the top of the Chrysler Building.” Shine like a beacon of American progress, ladies!

Wet blanket Kim quickly stepped in, complaining, “Talking about putting mayonnaise on your thing is not appropriate,” which is pretty ironic coming from the one Kardashian who has shown her Miracle Whip to the entire world. Eventually the ladies admitted that it had all been one big Twitter-fueled joke. Oh yeah…we totally knew they were kidding. On a totally unrelated note, do you think Costco takes returns? And do you think we can return a half-used drum of Hellmann’s?

We Are Not Team Jeggings

Conan O’Brien promised he would wear jeggings during his show last night, December, 2, 2010 and he followed through, to our horror. Check out his website for video of his jeggings monologue. He has left literally nothing to our imagination here.

Conan Wants Tom Hanks, Celebs To Keep Their Mouths Shut About Their Dumb Movies

hanks_and_wrong_coco

In an interview that makes us wonder if he wakes up with a tall glass of gin in his hand, Conan O’Brien bans actors from his new late-night show, saying “No actors, no actresses…I want to talk to people who are good at a craft, people who work with their hands.” What? No celebrities? Sorry, but we are not stay up past our bedtimes to see Coco interview a master electrician or quilt maker about how fascinating their jobzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Says O’Brien,”Will I bar Tom Hanks from the set? No, I will not. He can come, but he’s not allowed to talk about his project. He’s gonna keep his f**king mouth shut about his project.” Awww! Hanks is probably sitting at home with tears streaming down his face as we speak. But seriously, you’ll have actors on the show but they CAN’T talk about their movies? Just wait until you’re stuck chatting with Jessica Alba about woodworking or watching Megan Fox use a lathe, then you’ll be reviewing that policy right quick.

As harsh as his new show rules might sound, Conan is fortunately willing to make things a little more interesting: “If Jim Carrey or Tom Hanks accidentally mentions his project, I think the viewer should be compensated in some way. That would be a way to turn this economy around.” And…we’re back on board! Can we somehow modify our TVs so money shoots out when a celebrity breaks the rule? Conan, you stock the first episode with simpletons (seriously, is Megan Fox available?!?!) and we’ll stand in the living room with a pillow case held open like it’s Halloween. Unless…oh no, is Conan joking? But…but…but that’s the way television was always meant to be seen! [Photos: WENN/WireImages]

Attack Of Terrible Facial Hair: The 10 Worst Celebrity Beards

beards

Something scary has been popping up all over Hollywood (no, it’s not Lindsay Lohan): famous dudes with freakish facial hair. You may recall the growth that metastasized on Spencer Pratt‘s face recently, or perhaps you’ve noticed Conan O’Brien‘s post-Tonight Show debacle hair-bellion that has yet to subside. Earlier this year Brad Pitt got in on the act and uglified his glorious mug. But still we persevered, surviving on the smooth skinned hunks still left in LaLa Land. But when Robert Pattinson, the ultimate GWPAVTILFPPP (guy who plays a vampire that I’d like to f*ck pretty pretty please), started roaming North America with a serious “I’m trying to hide from everyone” beard, our heart officially broke in two and then grew a goatee.

Men, enough. You cannot continue uglifying yourself in this way. We ladies slave away stripping the hair off of every feasible body part we can find – the least you could do is splurge on some shaving cream and spend five minutes scrapping that roadkill of your chin. Until you do we’ll be hold up in this fortress we’ve put together made solely of razor blades. Take a hint!

Bonnaroo Is Full Of Beardos, Banjos And Beyonce

60732205

We never thought we’d say this, but it looks like Beyoncé is taking over for Drew Barrymore as the queen of the indie scene. Last year, Barrymore was the hit of Bonnaroo, swaying in the wind in tribal facepaint at the outdoor music fest in Tennessee. This year, it was Beyoncé who was grooving in the VIP section as she watched acts like hubby Jay-Z, The National, Dead Weather and banjo player extraordinaire Steve Martin.

Check out our gallery of performers, which include an eclectic mix of unkempt indie rock hipsters, famous redhead comedians, and rock legends (Daryl Hall, we’re looking at you!).

Conan O’Brien Headed To TBS, Lopez Bumped To Midnight

Looks like FOX won’t be entering the late night wars after all—at least not with Conan O’Brien. The former Tonight Show host announced today that he’ll be hosting a late night show on TBS in November. “In three months, I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable.” Coco said in a statement. “My plan is working perfectly.”

While O’Brien will be bumping George Lopez from his current 11pm slot on TBS to 12am, the Lopez Tonight show host doesn’t feel slighted—in fact, Lopez courted O’Brien for TBS with a personal phone call. Said Lopez, “I can’t think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in…It’s the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy.” It’s also certain to be a brand new era for the network, who were barely acknowledged as a possible new home for Conan, in part due to their recent hiring of Lopez. Can cable hope to compete with the major networks in late night, or will Conan no longer pose a threat to the aging Leno-Letterman kingdom? Even if the move makes him negligible, he’ll surely be one of the richest negligible talk show hosts in history.

NBC Still Making Things Difficult For Conan

56495255

Conan O’Brien and NBC are going to go down in history as one of those Hollywood relationships where we only remember the bad stuff, despite all the good years they had together. Unfortunately even after the Tonight Show drama, the bad stuff keeps coming. This week, O’Brien was negotiating to take part in Fox’s Idol Gives Back, American Idol‘s annual charity fundraiser, but unfortunately for people who love Idol and Team CoCo, he’s unable to participate due to his contract with NBC contract.

The problem is that after departing The Tonight Show, O’Brien signed a contract stating that he wouldn’t appear on television until May 1 – enough time to grow a crazy beard and change lives one Twitter user at a time, sure - but that means he can’t even make guest appearances for charity until then. Idol Gives Back is set to air on April 21. A contract’s a contract, but we feel like not allowing Conan to appear on a show whose sole purpose is to raise money for those in need further cement’s NBC’s Scrooge McDuck image. At least we still have Conan’s stage tour to look forward to. [Photo: Getty Images]
