CO-CO'S MESSAGE TO NBC: "GO TO HELL!" AND HE MAY HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN HIS WISH.

From The wrap.com

Ratings are the best revenge. And if these numbers hold, "Conan" had a very sweet debut for TBS, served cold.

In his first night back on the air in over nine months, Conan O’Brien bested David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and -- most importantly for O'Brien and his followers -- Jay Leno.

Conan’s new TBS show scored a 2.8 rating among Nielsen’s 56 metered markets. In contrast, Leno earned a 2.7 rating, Letterman drew 2.5, and Kimmel received a 1.7.

Against his Comedy Central competition, the ginger-haired comic also fared well. "The Daily Show" earned a 1.5 rating, while "The Colbert Report" nabbed a 1.1 rating.

The real challenge will be maintaining the lead over the next few weeks and months. An executive from a rival show said that he expects O'Brien's numbers will dip once the curiosity factor wanes.

Moreover, with the exception of Stewart, they do not represent head-to-head matchups, as Leno and Letterman both kick off their show at 11:30 p.m., while O'Brien begins his 30 minutes earlier.

TIA CARERE'S TIME IN JURY DUTY FINALLY PAYS OFF-WILL BE A STYLISH,SADISTIC VILLAIN OF NEW HAWAII 5-0.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser CONFIRMED actress Tia Carrere is "reinventing the famous Hawaii Five-0 villain Wo Fat." The Hawaii-born actress and Grammy-winning singer stated:

"And it doesn't matter that the original Wo Fat was a man -- so was Kono, now played by actress Grace Park." In Jack Lord's Five-0, "Wo Fat was played by Khigh Dhiegh." He played Steve McGarrett's Communist Nemesis, through the show's entire 12 year run.

Carrere, "had expressed interest" in the CBS reboot "earlier in the year." Since she lost out on the Kono part,based on age issues- she moved on other shows,like Syfi's Warehouse 13.

She intends her Wo Fat to BE clad in "a Versace leather suit with Christian Dior sunglasses with sharp nails." Cha-Cha continued: "She would be a dragon lady- but sadistic, absolutely. She would have so much fun.He had a perfect tone of menace."

Exec Producer Peter Lenkov had seriously discussed the role with Cassandra- since they last worked together in notable bomb Jury Duty with '90s star Pauly Shore.

She's finishing the "upcoming You May Not Kiss the Bride and the part of Rell Sunn in Wave Dancer." Carrere relishes " the idea of being bad." Her most memorable role, is the violently classy,slut Juno Skinner- "in the Arnold Schwarzenegger film True Lies."

"I would rather play the villain," the ex-Relic Hunter cooed. "It's more fun to be able to be that bad."

LEIA WAS WITH DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE.
-The writer/actress almost become a crackhead.

Actress Carrie Fisher "admitted...to taking cocaine on the set of The Empire Strikes Back." She even revealed she "didn't even like the
drug- but was intent on getting high."

Fisher (now in her early fifties) stated "her life had been defined by addiction,
with stints in psychiatric hospitals and rehab clinics -- even the emergency
room with an overdose." Fisher said the coke was ingested "in the ice planet" Hoth scenes, Fisher told Yahoo News.

Fisher reiterates: "I didn't even like coke that much, it was just a case of getting on whatever train I needed to take to get high," she said while vacationing in Sydney for her stand-up comedy show,entitled Wishful Drinking.

John Belushi of the The Blues Brothers fame, may have been the one to save her.He told her "that she had a problem," before his own death by drug overdose "in 1982."

"Slowly I realised I was doing a bit more drugs than other people and losing my
choice in the matter," Fisher recalled. "If I'd been addicted to booze I'd be dead now, because you just go out and get it."


Fisher, a one-time reality TV judge- will not blame her family or celebrity B.S., for her drug use. "It's always been my responsibility," Leia concluded. "If it was Hollywood (to blame), then we'd all be dope addicts."

"ITS GOODFELLAS MEETS CASINO MEATS HEAT...."

From Deadline.com's Mike Fleming
It's Goodfellas meets Casino meets Heat. So if you're a fan of those
great crime movies, get ready: I'm told Al Pacino and Joe Pesci are
now circling The Irishman, the mob drama that Martin Scorsese and
Robert De Niro have been working on together based on the exploits of
mob hitman Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran as chronicled in the book I
Heard You Paint Houses. The pic's being developed at Paramount by De
Niro and Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Productions.


Pacino has worked with De Niro in the Michael Mann-directed classic
Heat, as well as Righteous Kill. Pesci and De Niro of course teamed
with Scorsese on Goodfellas, Casino and Raging Bull. Steve Zaillian
wrote the script.


Right now, Scorsese's off directing the 3D Hugh Cabret for GK Films,
and this is one of a couple pictures he's considering next. Others
include Silence, based on the Shusako Endo novel. Scorsese and GK
Films nearly had the pic together with Benicio Del Toro, Daniel Day-
Lewis and Gabriel Garcia Bernal in the Jay Cocks-scripted saga of
Jesuits who face danger as they preach Christianity and try to find
their mentor in 17th Century Japan. Scorsese will be in New York
Wednesday as HBO premieres the pilot he directed for Boardwalk Empire,

THE PEOPLE'S REVIEW OF MACHETE.

JUST WHEN PARIS LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS ALMOST CLEANED UP...

COULD THE BOONDOCKS BE HEADING TO THE BIG SCREEN?

Independent sources at Sony are saying the Adult Show hit, could go through another two year hiatus, because creator Arron McGruder is penning the script.

The film could star Jaden Smith as both Huey and Riley Freeman. Smith had been doing interview with Huey haircut and his Karate Kid persona uses the Riley Look.John Whither would be Grand Pa (as he does on the show) and Will Smith (Jaden's Dad) would be Obama-like dad Tom. Smith would also sever as the one of the producers. Cedric the Entertainer is an apparent shoo-in for Uncle Ruckus, the Republican reverse racist on the show.

Emily Deschanel or Renee O' Zellweger are being considered for Tom's wife Sara. Mcgrudder is hoping one of the Hughes or Hudlin brothers, direct his opus.

DANCING WITH THE STAR CHAMPION COULD EARN $345,000 "AND THAT TACKY TROPHY!"
From Gawker:

It's all based on a sliding scale depending on how well the contestants do.
Everyone gets $125,000 for signing up and being on the first two episodes (even
the person who gets eliminated first gets that amount as a bit of a consolation
prize). Then it's $10,000 each for the next two episodes, $20,000 for each of
the two episodes after that, $30,000 each for the two subsequent episodes, and
$50,000 for appearing in the final two episodes of the season. That totals
$345,000 for those who make it to the very end. Based on this reality TV pyramid
scheme, the winner gets nothing more than the other finalists—besides that tacky
trophy, of course.


Sure most people at home would gladly take even the $125,000 signing bonus (and
it's probably the biggest windfall Jennifer Grey has seen in her adult life) but
in reality TV terms it's not that much. The Situation makes $60,000 an episode
for Jersey Shore. The $345,000 to get to the end (which is 20 episodes over 10
weeks) wouldn't even cover his salary for six episodes of Jersey Shore. TV's
Hills alum Audrina Patridge ( a complete no talent Megan Fox [excuse the redundacny] knock-off) was making $100,000 an episode for her work on the
canceled MTV gem, so this is a big step down for her.


And it doesn't sound like there are many other perks either—other than getting
in better shape thanks to the show's eight-hours-a-day rehearsal requirement.
The production staff is helpful with transportation and posh accommodations, but
no one gets their own hair and makeup team or gets to select their dancing
partner. It really is a rough life for these guys, isn't it?

Still, The show could up the ante by providing a $250,000 grand prize for the winner's charity. Plus, a flat $10,000 a succeeding week fee for the all the other celeb dancer's favorite charities.

INDY WANTS TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE CRYSTAL SKULL WITH ONE LAST FILM

Extreme senior actor Harrison Ford- is planning to play Indiana Jones in films "one last time – at the age of 70."


Producers are planning for Ford's ("who recently married long-term girlfriend Calista Flockhart") supposedly "final outing" as Jones. This fifth chapter of the story will hit theatres in 2012 – on Ford's 70th year of life.


Shia LaBeouf, who co-stared with him, will return as Indy's son Mutt (who was knocked out twice by women) for 2008's Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull . He said he's being prepped for this flick and maybe to take over the franchise, after this one.“They’re scriptwriting now!,” exclaimed LaBeouf. “It sounds crazy."

Despite his age, "a still trim Ford" did most "of the hazardous
stunts on the last film."Ford declared himself as “fit or possibly fitter than I was...20 years ago.”

Still, the film's series iconic producers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are still pissed- Sir Sean Connery didn't make a cameo in the Skull. They made clear Connery's Jones Sr. was dead to them, by hearing Sir Sean's statement, he "was enjoying retirement too much to return."

The landmark's film series "much-anticipated comeback" went on to earn very "mixed reviews," that have been hilariously satirized on recent South Park episodes. LaBeouf intends to get Indy right this time, because “I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished.”

JENNIFER ANISTON SWITCHS BACK TO TV FOR COUGAR TOWN-
-From EW
Former Scrubs leader and Cougar Town Exec. producer Bill Lawrence spills his guts:


“She’s going to play Courteney’s shrink named Bonnie. Kind of a get-
too-involved-in-her-life-type of therapist. Those guys are so close in
real-life they kind of do that for each other anyway. Bonnie has the
life Jules’ wishes she has.


It took us a while to find the show. And once we did and once it was
clicking, I think that not only did Courteney feel comfortable talking
to Jen about doing it, but comfortable in how funny she thinks the
show is and that Jen would like it and fit into this world really
well.


It starts and ends with Courteney and Jennifer being really great
friends and excited to work together again —especially doing comedy
together. Every day that those two talk they have more ideas about
[the role]. It’s definitely something they’re both involved in
creatively.


We’re very intentionally implying that it’s a therapist Courteney has
been using for a while, and we’re certainly not going to make it like
they’ll never see each other again. So I’m crossing my fingers that if
she has a good time it’ll happen again.”

Vincent D. to return.

USA's Law & Order: Criminal Intent producers are talking about " a number of scenarios, including a full-season pickup,
two-season pickup and a partial season pickup until settling on the
idea for an eight-episode order for what would be the show's final
season."

Only if the economics work, the producer will make the decision in 72 hrs.
and the network wants the show's original
star, Vincent D'Onofrio.

Meanwhile, Jeff Goldblum, quickly became bored with show
last season, "has decided not to return,"as his contract options
expired last months with a 30 days extension and a agency switch.

Goldblum is now doing a play in London called Prisoner of

Universal Music Group (UMG) Enters into Long-Term Agreement with 19 Entertainment For 'American Idol'

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- 19 Entertainment and Simon Fuller, creator of 'American Idol,' television's biggest entertainment program for the last nine seasons and one of the most globally recognized entertainment brands, and Universal Music Group (UMG), the world's leading music company, today announced a long-term strategic alliance to increase the development, distribution and marketing of 'American Idol's' musical artists. The announcement was made today by Doug Morris, Chairman & Co-Chief Executive Officer of UMG, Lucian Grainge, Co-Chief Executive Officer of UMG, and by Simon Fuller on behalf of 19 Entertainment.


As part of this multi-year agreement, UMG's Interscope Geffen A&M will market, promote and distribute albums globally from 'American Idol's' finalists and winning contestants across a broad array of retail and new media platforms. Recently, 'American Idol' kicked-off auditions for its milestone 10th season as the excitement and renewed interest in the show resulted in over 26,000 hopefuls coming out for their shot at the coveted Idol crown in Nashville and Milwaukee. Upcoming auditions will be held in Louisiana, Texas, New Jersey and California.


Mr. Fuller comments: "With Idol celebrating our 10th season I wanted to inject some new power and weight behind our brand. We have been quietly delivering hits relentlessly for 9 seasons and Lucian Grainge and Jimmy Iovine's (Chairman, Interscope Geffen A&M) ambition, commitment, and determination to push the boundaries and go even further with Idol was very compelling. It is exciting to have the world's biggest show partnered with the world's biggest music company."


"We like delivering hits and new artists," stated Mr. Grainge. "UMG and 'American Idol' is the right combination at the right time. Pairing the renowned expertise of Simon and Jimmy in developing and marketing musical talent creates a truly winning combination that will allow 'Idol's' artists to realize their fullest potential."


Since its debut in 2001, 'America Idol' has been responsible for selling more music than any other TV show in history, with over 100 million units in North America alone and over 120 million songs on iTunes.
