NBC should make the official announcement today that Jimmy Fallon will replace Conan O'Brien when Conan takes over the "Tonight Show" next year.
You've heard the stories about "American Idol" contestant David Archuleta's dad. He was banned from "Star Search" when David was on the show a few years back, and now he's been banned from AI.
Jeff Archuleta has been interfering with the production of "American Idol," including the badgering of producers, the band, vocal coaches and even the other contestants.
Jeff also allegedly changed the lyrics to David's rendition of "Stand By Me" by adding a verse from Sean Kingston's hit "Beautiful Girls". When David sang the song in rehearsal, producers told him to sing "Stand By Me" the way it was written.
David went ahead and sang his dad's arrangement anyway during the show, which required the producers to pay royalties for BOTH songs. After that, they decided to ban Jeff from "the rooms where David was learning or rehearsing his songs."

Of course Hugh Hefner doesn't think the Miley Cyrus pics in Vanity Fair are a big deal. He says, "I think to make such a big to-do over something as innocent as those photos....I think [that's] a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality." He also said he'd welcome her to pose for "Playboy"...when she turns 18. He called her a "Very pretty lady." He's a very creepy old man.
