Ladies and Gentlemen, the midweek entertainment report!

CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP

After yet ANOTHER earthquake hit Haiti, now it seems EVERYONE is coming out of the woodwork to do work for the VERY small and VERY poor (unless you are one of the 3% that happens to be rich) country.
(And if we could send a map to Greg Gumbel, Haiti itself is not an island; it borders the Dominican Republic and together they make up the island of Hispaniola. I learned this in the third grade. Greg Gumbel is on CBS and the NFL Network. That's fair....how? No wonder on Family Guy's mock TV show Gumbel and Gumbel, Bryant was the smart one and Greg just rode around on a segway!)
Anywoo, after I nearly threw up after the Golden Globes where everyone was talking about it (I get it. A big earthquake hit, destroying a bunch of huts! The country is POOR. Can we say that much will have to be rebuilt?) now we have Fox doing a telethon on Friday and even Adam Lambert is reaching out. Wait, Adam Lambert? Is he going to bring a year's worth of guyliner down to them? Sing them a Queen song and then make out with all of the gentlemen down there? I feel bad, sure, but then again I wish some of these celebs would get fired up about problems in America....like homeless people and/or pets. Put all of that effort into that and BOOM, Paws Atlanta gets all of its animals adopted. That would be nice.

Conan and NBC apparently have finally worked out the buyout, with Conan leaving the Peacock, having to ride the pine quietly for 9 months all while counting his $32.5M. Several pundits have said that Conan stepped on his wiener by refusing to move the slot and therefore making FOX his only suitor (and costing himself maybe 15M a year, down to JUST 6 or 7M) but a check for 32.5M plus the chance to go on FOX and turn into MJ and just (attempt to) destroy an aging Leno on NBC. And you KNOW FOX will let him get away with nearly anything in the process. Conan gets paid and gets to go to FOX for more money than he would have gotten a few months back. How is this NOT a good thing for him. PLUS Leno's rep took a hit and he sort of looks like the bad guy for taking his show back. Good move Conan.

Florida sideline reporter Steve Babik was arrested for allegedly having kiddie porn on his home computer and the Gators have fired him from their broadcasts. Wow, the fact that Tebow couldn't even save this guy....could this be the beginning of the end for the Gators? Wait, no, The Sporting News thinks that John Brantley will do really well this season and Janovitz thinks he wins the Heisman in 2011. If I'm a Georgia homer, he's a Gator homer. Come on. But that recruiting class IS impressive....

Finally, Atlanta is SOOOO gay. Seriously. It is the gayest. No, I'm being for real here. The Advocate (the oldest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender magazine in the country) named Atlanta the gayest city in America, ahead of Burlington, VT, Iowa City, Madison, and Bloomington, IN. They say that the 29 gay bars helps and give the odds as 50-50 that if you are gay you'll someday end up in Atlanta. Wow. Maybe Lambert sets up his "Let's Help Haiti" base here. 50-50 chance apparently.

Have a great rest of the week everybody and if you asked Steve Babik to babysit for you tonight, get a new sitter! NOW!
