Apparently the documentary was right: Conan O'Brien really can't stop. In just a couple of years, the man has gone from "Tonight Show" host to unemployed to touring comedian to talk show host on TBS. Now, Conan is working on a brand new comedy pilot for his host network.
The project will be a multi-camera sitcom, much along the lines of the other original shows currently running on TBS.

Tom Mesereau, the attorney who got Michael Jackson acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005, claims that Jermaine Jackson's recent claims that the Jackson family would've helped Michael skip the country if he'd been found guilty are more than a little far-fetched.

Simon performed a haunting rendition of "The Sound of Silence." Watch it here.

It was a rough weekend at the box office. Although "Contagion" put forth a valiant effort, others like "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star" bombed completely. "Contagion," which imagines a world in which an incurable, highly contagious, highly fatal form of the bird flu spreads without containment, earned about $23.1 million over the weekend.

According to recent reports, the troubled and controversial singer-rapper had accrued a staggering 117 parking violations, many claiming he illegally took handicapped-parking spaces at his Los Angeles condo.
