LENO CONCEDES: NBC TRY TO SHORTEN HIS TENURE ON TONIGHT-YEARS AGO.
-They wanted to give the job to Conan O'Brien,as early as thirty-six months ago.

From UPI-

U.S. comedian Jay Leno says NBC executives originally planned for him to serve as host of The Tonight Show for a shorter time.

Leno, who will premiere his new prime time TV series on NBC next week,
said he was informed by NBC officials- five years ago- that they wanted to
replace him with comedian Conan O'Brien within three years, The New York Times
reported Saturday.

"Actually, they wanted me out in three years," said Leno, who departed
the Tonight Show in May. "I had to argue to get the other two. Oh, yeah.
I said: 'Let's make it five. You want me out? I'll do five.'"


Leno's recollection of those past events has been questioned by Rick
Ludwin, NBC's executive in charge of late-night programs.


"That is definitely not my recollection," Ludwin said. "I don't
remember three years being mentioned."


Now both sides are betting on the success of The Jay Leno Show with
NBC heavily promoting the new prime time series due to premiere Tonight.


"It's just so embarrassing," Leno told the Times of his response to
the wealth of "Leno" promotions. "It's a genetic fault that makes you go into
show business. It's not a plus."

Berry endured horrible disappointment, "of 30 negative pregnancy tests before finally learning she was expecting her
first child, Nahla, in 2007." Life & Style "exclusively revealed"
that the 43 yr. old Boomerang actress, "is three months pregnant
with her second child."

"She's just ecstatic to be pregnant again," that insider continued. "She wasn't sure if she'd have another baby, so she's very
happy!"

DAKOTA FANNING MISSED TIN MAN, SO- SHE PLANS HER OWN DARKER VERSION OF THE THE WIZ.

From tinyurl.com

-Dakota Fanning could don ruby covered combat boots, instead of slippers for this "sequel": the WB studio is claims this will be "more action-packed"(a la Ripley from Aliens) than that '39 musical.


The Wizard of Oz starred Judy Garland as Dorothy, a Kansas farm-girl
who finds herself whisked to a technicolor world of munchkins and
witches. By contrast, the Warner Bros remake will play out in the
present day and chart the adventures of Dorothy's feistier
granddaughter.


"You've still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place," explains co-
producer Todd McFarlane. "But she's much closer to the Ripley
character from Alien, than a helpless singing girl."


Fanning, 15, came to fame with roles opposite Robert De Niro in Hide
and Seek and Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds, before going on to star
in Charlotte's Web and The Secret Life of Bees. She will next be seen
in New Moon, the sequel to last year's vampire romance Twilight.


Based on the 1900 children's book by L Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz
stuttered on its initial release, before going on to be embraced by
generations of film-goers. The US Library of Congress claims that it
is now the most watched movie in cinema history.


Inevitably the film casts a shadow that other sequels have struggled
to escape. Liza Minelli – Garland's daughter – voiced a little-seen
cartoon version, Journey Back to Oz, in the 60s, while Walter Murch's
ambitious Return to Oz bombed at the box office in 1985. Warners will
no doubt be hoping that their all-new, action-packed version fares
differently.

FOX TO USE FOCUS GROPUS- TO DETERMINE IF PAULA ABDUL IS WORTH THE MONEY.


“Fox loooves focus groups,” a well-placed TV executive told
RadarOnline. “If Paula consistently scores far higher than any other
person in her chair, they will feel compelled to make her an offer she
can’t refuse and make this deal happen.”


PressFocus groups are going to help the folks at Fox determine
just how much money they need to offer Paula Abdul to bring her back
to American Idol, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.


The TV executives want to know how audiences respond to any new judge
other than Paula. “They know no one can replace Paula,” a source
said. The testing will help them see just how damaging it might be
not to have Abdul back and figure out just what their new financial
offer should be.


Paula will not be seen in any of the early audition shows; that much
is certain. The fourth judge for those outings will be the likes of
Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige and Shania Twain. Although none of
these guest judges is being considered as Paula’s replacement, video
of them on the job will be used for comparison purposes with the focus
groups.


Those who know Paula the best believe she wants to make it happen
too. One of her closest associates told RadarOnline.com that Paula
was “bored” after eight seasons as well as feeling under-appreciated
by the show’s producers and executives at Fox.


Paula has always believed that she was the most important personality
in the cast with more fan appeal than Simon Cowell or Ryan Seacrest.
She could not believe they were handed such huge deals and she was
not.


She also often told friends that she did not believe American Idol
could survive without her, another insider told RadarOnline.com.


“It’s not that she doesn’t have other things going on, she does,” the
friend said. “But it is so much easier to go back to Idol and use that
as a platform to promote all her other ventures. Everyone who knows
her believes she will be back.” All parties are back in talks – if
not exactly formal negotiations -- about exactly how to make what
seems to be the inevitable happen.


The show’s producers had wanted four judges from the very beginning of
American Idol, RadarOnline.com has also learned. There are four at
every other Idol around the world – from Japan to Australia to would-
you-believe Afghanistan.


“There will be four judges at American Idol come January,” a well-
placed source said. “And that fourth judge will be Paula Abdul.”

-CW ATTEMPTS TO BREAK RACIST CHARGES FOR CANCELING LAST BLACK-COM ON THE NET (EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS)
From TV Guide.com:

Gina Torres will appear on Gossip Girl this fall as Vanessa's mom, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Gabriela Abrams, mother to home-schooled vid-kid Vanessa, is described as being warm and outgoing, which will certainly be a change of pace for this show, not exactly known as the paragon of parental virtue. She is a free spirit, a former Brooklyn gal who lives "off the grid" in Vermont and has definite opinions about things, especially concerning her daughter. Ah, that's more like it.

Torres is best known for her roles on Alias and Firefly, though she also had a recent blink-and-you-miss-it cameo on Pushing Daisies as the wayward mom of Emerson's daughter. The actress is married to CSI's Laurence Fishburne.

Gabriela Abrams is currently scheduled to appear in two episodes, but she will recur on the series. Gossip Girl returns for its third season on Monday, Sept. 14 at 9/8c on the CW.

TWILIGHT STAR SHOWS HER NEW MOON.

IS SMALLVILLE PLANNING TO CAST SHANNON ELIZABETH (WONDER WOMAN) AND VAL KILMER (BATMAN) FOR FEBRUARY SWEEPS?

Inside sources claim, the producers are having quiet discussions with the stars about the big-time move. This would lead to an "official" forming of the Justice League/Super Friends on the show. Fans would finally see: Clark (Tom Welling) eventual flying, getting/wearing his Super-suit, and officially accepting his Kryptonian heritage and leaving behind the last of his flawed humanity. Then, see Welling satirizing that behavior to his own amusements- in hip geek version of Kent, Reeves-style.

The producers feel it would be a perfect time, since Elizabeth is damaged goods at the moment and is desperate for work. Kilmer has finally reached a point in his career, when he is affordable and willing to work in TV (voicing the new KITT in a failed Knight Rider reboot and a failed TV movie that aired on NBC, that should remain nameless.)

Also, with the show going into its ninth and last season, the show could use the two actors- to push the ratings up. Since, this would be Kilmer's most likely final time- playing the role and the prospect of Shannon fighting and emoting half-naked, could give her just the career boost- she needs.

Finally, if the network succeeds in this move- would give a product placement plug- to an upcoming arcade game, about the Justice League to debut in the fall.

They were spotted in the Hollywood area recently, and seemed very pleased with each other. Both were smiling, arm and arm with each other,just waiving hello to our reporter. Neither were at a local hot spot and no other media was present.

Of course, they could be just hanging out,as the offical word is Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are still an item.
