Fox Denies Registering Conanonfox.com Domain

Isn’t this much ado about nothing. Late yesterday, the Intertubes soaked through its panties and reverted back to using Depends, when it was revealed someone registered the domain name ConanOnFox.com and the matching Twitter @ConanOnFox. The rumours of some kind of deal with Conan O’Brien and the network were fuelled as the domain’s WhoIs information, which lists the registrants information, appeared to be linked to Fox. The initial site registration details mentioned Fox by name, though anyone can deliberately imitate another company. The domain did re-direct to the @ConanOnFox Twitter, a special page that asked you to add them as a friend. Now, the domain links to what’s called a parked page. You know, a page that looks like the Internet threw up on itself and just turned its shirt inside out rather than getting changed.

As of the time of posting, the registrant details for the mysterious domain have been changed to Domains By Proxy. A way that someone can stop nosey bishes from getting access to their address, email, and phone number.

  • Registrant: Domains by Proxy, Inc.
  • Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. http://www.GoDaddy.com
  • Domain Name: CONANONFOX.NET
  • Created on: 19-Jan-10
  • Expires on: 19-Jan-11
  • Last Updated on: 19-Jan-10

The top peeps at Fox are mad as heck as a third party, according to them, set the site up and generated a whole day’s worth of Fox/ Conan rumours. At this point, no deal has been set with Fox and Conan is still somewhat in limbo.

Snooki Has an Offer for Own VH1 Reality Show

I guess beelzebub is wearing his Snuggie and is skating to work. The adorable orange gremlin from Jersey Shore, 21-year-old Snooki, has been getting offers for her own reality show. She is the most outlandish of all the tacky cast members, by quite some stretch. She even goes to the length of teasing her hair into a bump, rather than using a Bump-It, cos that’s just how she rolls.

The reality star could totally be BSing until a better offer comes along, but she tells Us Weekly that she has offers from VH1 and other reality networks. Hmm.

“Definitely there is no set thing, but it has been talked about,” Snooki told Us at the GBK Gift Lounge at the Mondrian Hotel.  “I got offers from VH1 and other reality networks,” said Snooki (real name Nicole Pilozzi).

Conan Blasts NBC and Sells Himself on Craigslist

Conan O’Brien made with the funnies when he called his NBC bosses a bunch of incompetent morons, live on air. It’s kind of like punching your boss in the face the day you quit your minimum wage job. Only way funnier. His monologue, embedded below, includes a mention of his Tonight Show Craigslist advert he posted last week. If you manage to watch the whole thing without peeing your pants with laughter, you’ll need to grab some Depends for this. He gave up on his craptastical network and put himself up on Craigslist too, under the Casual Encounters section. He lists himself as 6’4″, completely ripped, VERY Caucasian.

The full text from his second and much funnier Craigslist advert, selling himself.

  • Tall, slender redhead available for nighttime recreation.
  • 6’4″, completely ripped, VERY Caucasian.
  • Drapes match the carpet.
  • Currently homeless, must meet at your place.
  • Can go a whole hour (with scheduled breaks every 7-10 minutes).
  • Fatties welcome.
  • Not afraid to take two people at once, and then a musical guest.
  • NOTE: If you want me to perform after midnight, it’ll cost you!

CBB Housemates Strip off for Life Drawing Task

There are few things more horrifying than being forced to sit through an entire episode of Celebrity Big Brother. Well, okay, there is one thing. The show had a couple of the contestants strip down for a life drawing class. This time the bare-assery didn’t involve Alex Reid, but the women. It was probably a ploy to drive away their remaining half-dozen viewers. Producers had 60-year-old Ivana Trump strip down to her strapless bra, Bridget Jones panties, tights, and heels. I gather this is supposed to provoke people into watching. If that’s the aim, it’s not working. That said, all Trump’s surgeries seem to be holding fast.

Mischa Barton Law & Order: SVU Hooker Outfit

Mischa Barton was kind enough to bring her own clothes to the set, when she filmed her role on Law & Order: SVU. The actress from now defunct show The Beautiful Life was clearly hard pushed to find another role (since playing a bit-part as a hooker on SVU was the best she could muster). The proceeds she earns from filming, and anything she picks up on the side while in character, would barely be enough to cover her week’s supply of Red Bull and coke. Poor thing, well, like I said, she got to rock her own hooker-looking clothes on set. I’m guessing they’re hers anyways. She’s been walking the streets looking like a bag lady for the last few weeks now, so that would not be too far fetched a claim.

More pics of a sad, puffy Mischa Barton filming in NYC in her flea market get-up.

Sigourney Weaver Hosts SNL, Monologue & Skits

Sigourney Weaver was the host of this weekend’s installment of Saturday Night Live. The show seems to have mixed its uppers with a bunch of Red Bull, with their frantic mix of commentaries. They over-reached when they mocked NBC with a dry skit based on a faux Larry King interview. They also made light of the fact that Weaver is the  daughter of the former NBC president, Pat Weaver, who created both The Today Show and The Tonight Show over 60 years ago.

Check out those skits, an Avatar sex-scene parody, James Cameron being self-deprecating, and as as bonus the Ting Tings two musical performances.
