That NBC late night fiasco is so 2010, but as Conan O’Brien settles into a new network, Jay Leno appears to be taking a lot of heat.

One of his own guests, “Parks & Recreation” star Amy Poehler, even called him a “[bleeping] a**hole” – to his face!

Okay, so she was goaded into it after Leno encouraged her to swear in a Boston accent on Wednesday's “Tonight Show,” but Howard Stern? He didn’t seem to be giving Leno as good-natured a ribbing the other day on “Piers Morgan Tonight.”

Before Snoop D-O-double-G was guesting on Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic,” he may have been selling some to Cameron Diaz.

The 38-year-old “Green Hornet” actress said as much while appearing on George Lopez’s “Lopez Tonight.” After asking Diaz about her green lifestyle - she's been driving a Prius for about ten years, she said - Diaz revealed that she grew up in "the LBC." Of course, Lopez had to ask if she knew Snoop.

“We went to high school together. He was a year older than me," Diaz said of the 39-year-old rapper. "I remember him, he was very tall and skinny. He wore lots of ponytails and I’m pretty sure I bought weed from him.”

So, "you were green even in high school?" Lopez asked, to which Diaz enthusiastically responded, "Absolutely!"

Reality star/entrepreneur Kim Kardashian credits Kanye West with helping her add another title to her resume: singer. The "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" beauty says it was West who convinced her that she possessed the pipes to make a hit record.

"[I thought] 'OK, I'm not a singer, this isn't what I do. I have too much other stuff going on. Is this really something safe for me to do?'" she recalls to MTV News. "And Kanye was actually one of the people who really talked me into doing it and telling me, like, 'Hey, look, what do you guys do for fun? You guys go shopping, you go to the movies. Kind of step into our world for a second and have fun.'"

The result was "Turn It Up," a one-off record that Kardashian, 30, made with Grammy-winning producer The-Dream.

"Dream's mother passed away of cancer and so did my dad, so half of the proceeds are going to a cancer organization," she says. "It's just one song, and it's just for fun."

Well, given the millions of people who watch “Jersey Shore,” you’d assume one or two of them would pick up Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s book, right?

The pickle-loving reality star behind the novel “A Shore Thing” tweeted the news late Wednesday that her fiction debut was officially a best-seller.

“OMG I'm a New York Times Best Selling Author!!! Thank you so much to my fans, family and everyone who made this possible! LOVE YOU ALL !!”

Although AOL’s Daily Finance points out that since its January 4 release Snooki’s novel had pushed just 4,000 copies through January 9, the New York Times confirmed to CNN that the news is true. Yes, “Ms. Polizzi’s book is No. 24 on the extended New York Times Best Seller list for January 30, 2011," a rep said.

The ratings are in for the first night of season 10 of "American Idol," and things aren't looking up.

TV By The Numbers reports that the initial night of the competition series was down 13 percent overall from last season's debut with an 18 percent drop in the coveted 18 -49 demographic.

In total, 26.1 million average viewers tuned in for the beginning of season 10 versus the 29.945 million who watched the premiere of season 9. That's more than the usual 10 to 15 percent drop in ratings the show has seen previously.

"American Idol" has seen a decrease in its ratings over the years since the all time high of the season finale in 2006.

Gwyneth Paltrow just might have her biggest fan in Kelly Clarkson.

The "American Idol" champ is so impressed with the "Country Strong" star's vocals that she's urging her to head into the recording studio.

"Gwyneth Paltrow please make an album," Clarkson, 28, tweeted yesterday. "You have such an honest and captivating voice!"

"The Game" continued to play well in the ratings.

After debuting with 7.7 million viewers, the BET-revived series scored 5.9 million viewers for its second episode, according to the network.

The numbers placed the episode in the No. 2 spot for the highest rated BET series telecast of all time, behind "The Game's" debut.

It's no secret that the writers of "Modern Family" draw on real experiences for ideas, but one gets a sneaking suspicion that this week's episode had a lot of basis in reality. Here we saw three of the most embarrassing situations that can happen to anyone.

First there was the "accidentally-sent-e-mail" scenario: Gloria told Jay how she really felt about Claire, and Jay, in a hurry to make it on a trip to Vegas, wrote exactly that and it got sent. Gloria's helpless reaction was priceless: "Make it come back!"

Then we had the damaging-someone-else's-home scenario: Mitchell and Cam lived through this while visiting the owner of a restaurant they wanted a reservation to, along with Lily. After all, the only openings were before 6 ("What are we, 80?" asked Cam) and just before 11 ("What are we, 20?").

The woman who became famous for having eight babies at once has done something so outrageous and so over the top, I'm wondering if she should have all of her 14 children taken away from her!

Today we have the cringe-worthy sexual fetish video that the Octomom may have taped in the home she shares with her children.

We'll also be talking about Ricky Gervais sounding off with CNN’s Piers Morgan in his very first interview since the Golden Globes – he’s still got no filter and he’s still ticking off just about everyone in Hollywood!
