One of the funniest and controversial female comedians, Chelsea Handler, made an appearance on “Conan” last night.

The host of late night talk show “Chelsea Lately” discussed her dating life with the ginger, saying she’s “on the prowl”.

Chelsea’s always been quite frank about her love life. She even wrote a book called “My Horizontal Life”, devoted to all the men she hooked up with in her early years.

Not that many woman can get away with discussing ever so bluntly how much they love sex. In fact, Chelsea’s probably the only guest on “Conan” that can talk that way and not get scrutinized for it.

Best of 2011: The Ten Most Entertaining Twitter Accounts

There’s never a dull moment on Twitter if you follow these outrageous celebrities, comedians and random humans on the social networking site.

Here at andPOP, we love reporting about the latest twitter feud (usually started by Chris Brown) or the latest awkward photo Jessica Simpson uploads. Needless to say, 2011 was an entertaining year on the internet.

Here are our top ten favourite Twitter accounts we recommend you follow, if you need more laughter in your life.

10. Justin Bieber

Twitter is usually the first place the singing sensations reveals important information. For instance, news broke out of his latest Christmas album by a simple tweet.

9. Questlove

We love following Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’s Questlove, because he’s always posting the freshest music and the funniest YouTube clips. He always adds his two cents, of course.

8. Slashleen

For an unknown girl in Toronto, Slashleen already has over 60,000 followers, waiting for her to make the next crude remark. Her latest: “When I get upset I think about rappers farting dollar signs of marijuana smoke and it cheers me right up.”

7. Courtney Stodden

She may have the same intelligence and talent as a Kardashian, but at least she’s funnier to have on Twitter. You can tell Courtney loves to expand her vocabulary with a Thesaurus as she tweets such things as “As the sensuous streets of LA are saturated in residual raindrop romance… I seductively dream of delicate sentiments by the fireplace.” She definitely has a career in romantic fiction!

6. Hipster Mermaid

Braden Graeber tweets on behalf of Hipster Mermaid and he does a great job at it. The L.A. comedian is always on the cusp of what’s trendy and popular online.

5. Sarah Silverman

One of the best female comedians around, Sarah never filters herself when she tweets to her 2 million followers.

4. Chris Brown

The aggressive hip-hop singer is always a good person to have on Twitter because you never know the next time he’s involved in a train wreck. A few months ago he got into a very heated argument with a female rapper from Toronto and we couldn’t look away.

3. Kanye West

Like Sarah, Kanye never filters himself on Twitter. Come to think of it, he never filters himself in real life, either. But the point is, following him on Twitter to get his opinions on basic day-to-day tasks is hilarious. “I just threw some kazoo on this bitch” is a classic Kanye tweet.

2. Rob Delaney

This comedy writer doesn’t have the same amount of followers as Kanye or even Kim Kardashian but we’re hoping more people follow him after this post. Rob always goes for the glory, especially with “Just found out my wife’s first husband also called 911 on her for farting.” His other funny tweets are more rated R.

1. Conan O’Brien

We all jumped for joy when our favourite late night talk show host joined the Twitterverse. He may have 4 million followers around the world, but he’s only following one lucky fan back. Her name is Sarah Slowick and we’re incredibly jealous.

Celebrities in Ugly Christmas Sweaters

It’s the winter season and that means celebrities think it’s justified to roam around Hollywood in a ridiculously cheesy Christmas sweater. Said sweater does have it’s benefits. For example, if you’ve been at Nana’s house and ate a little too much roast beef, you can cover up your bloated belly with a Christmas sweater.

Some celebrities like Justin Bieber can look cute in just about anything. But men like Cee Lo Green and John Mayer only end up looking like clowns. You may argue Snoop Dogg doesn’t belong in a Christmas sweater because he’s “too gangster” but that’s precisely why he can rock it.

Let’s take a look at some of our favourite celebrities looking ridiculous yet festive. You can check out more holiday madness at Oh No They Didn’t.

Conan O’Brien Officiated Televised Same-Sex Wedding

@coltondaniel — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:07:43 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

Yes! It happened. On last night’s show, Conan O’Brien delivered a same-sex marriage ceremony as he promised. It also marked the host’s final show taped in his triumphant return to New York and his one-year anniversary with TBS.

Would it be somewhat insensitive to immediately assume that this was all for some ratings? It did successfully result in some media reaction. But, almost all embarrassingly resorted to the classic journalistic expression, pushing the envelope.

Go back 42 years ago, there was a little televised marriage between Tiny Tim and Miss Vicki on The Tonight Show that shattered rating records. Weddings have always been a go-to for morning talk shows, especially during those crucial sweeps weeks.

Remember this: same-sex marriage is illegal in California, where the show is normally taped. But things are a little different in the state of New York.

Here’s O’Brien officiating the wedding between the show’s costume designer, Scott Cronick, and his partner, David Gorshe:

The Situation was on Conan O’Brien last night. During the interview, The Situation taught Conan some Italian words, and also shared his workout regime.

It’s no secret The Situation has some impressive abs. So he took some time to teach Conan the secret to getting rock hard abs. The Situation should have some impressive abs considering the man was a personal trainer before getting his break on Jersey Shore.

Fast forward to 4:00 in the video where The Situation shares the secret with Conan.

Coco has a new comic book coming out called FAME: Conan O’Brien. The comic was produced with Bluewater Productions and goes on sale in August.

Comicbookresources.com reports the comic will focus on Conan’s amazing life, from writing for SNL, producing The Simpsons, and his short-lived stint as host of The Tonight Show. Understandably millions of Coco fans will want to get their hands on this comic.

“Working on Conan O’Brien was a dream come true,” says writer CW Cooke. “My co-writer Patrick McCormack and I dug deep to learn everything we could about this red-haired jokester that I’ve been a fan of for as long as I can remember.”

“Conan O’Brien is America’s Sweetheart. He won our hearts by being gracious and open after public turmoil fell on him. But he didn’t let it get him down. He kept telling jokes, kept being funny, and kept being who he always was: someone who made us laugh.”

A Conan O’Brien comic book could be kind of cool, and it’s definitely unique. We will have to wait and see how it turns out.

Ever noticed that over the past couple of years, Larry King has upped his fashion sense? And you may wonder who deserves the credit. Well it’s not his wife, but actually Ryan Seacrest.

Larry King appeared on Conan O’Brien last night as a guest, where the topic of his style came up in conversation. Larry said that Seacrest mails him jeans.

“Ryan Seacrest send you JEANS?!” Conan said, aghast. “Those are Ryan Seacrest’s jeans?!”

“No, he buys them I guess,” King responded, standing up and flaunting his wardrobe.”What do you mean: They’re not from his body! Maybe they are…”

“Maybe they are! Maybe he takes them off at night puts them in a FedEx envelope and you get them. Those are very Seacrest-y jeans, I’m telling ya.”

That may sound like an obvious title considering Conan O’Brien has left NBC, but when asked by Larry King whether he’s spoken to Leno, he replied by saying, “No. … There’s nothing, really, for either of us to talk about.”

O’Brien also made it clear that he’s over the entire “Tonight Show” debacle at NBC, saying “I don’t want to think about it anymore.”

During a March interview on Larry King, Leno was asked if he felt Conan got screwed. Leno explained “Conan got screwed. I got screwed. This is TV. The reason show business pays a lot of money is so when you get screwed you’ve got something left over.”

In the clip below, Conan talks about his experience speak with Jonny Carson about taking over the “Tonight Show.”

More Revenge for Conan O’Brien – Conan is Nominated for an Emmy and Jay Leno Nominated for Nothing

andPOP Staff — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:15:57 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

Here is more sweet revenge for Conan O’Brien against his former colleagues at NBC and Jay Leno.

It was recently announced that Conan was nominated for an Emmy. Conan will be going up against “The Colbert Report,” “The Daily Show,” “Real Time With Bill Maher” and “Saturday Night Live” in the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series category. Jay Leno was not nominated.

Interestingly, Conan’s own people submitted the work for nomination, while NBC submitted Jay for nomination, reports PopEater.

Conan’s new Late Night show starts on TBS in November. TBS has launched a campaign to nominate Conan for an Emmy. If he wins, undoubtedly he is going to make his new bosses at TBS very happy!

Jay Leno Posts The Lowest Ratings Since 1992 – Will Conan O’Brien Have The Last Laugh?

andPOP Staff — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 16:54:46 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

Maybe NBC made a mistake? Perhaps Jay Leno isn’t a sure ratings success? And maybe they should have given Conan O’Brien some more time to build the show?

With only six months back hosting “The Tonight Show,” the ratings have been very disappointing for Jay Leno, reports Variety. In the second quarter of this year, the average total audience declined from 5 million viewers last year to 4 million viewers. This is also notable considering Jay had a number of high profile guests, including President Barack Obama.

With that being said, Jay is still beating his arch nemesis David Letterman in the ratings. But with Conan O’Brien’s debut at TBS coming soon, and with so much public support for Conan, it maybe Conan O’Brien who has the last laugh.

Could Jimmy Fallon Be Cancelled?

Posted on andPOP:

Could Jimmy Fallon be the next Conan O’Brien? Rumors are circulating that the “Late Night” host could be next on the chopping block at NBC due to sagging ratings, according to the New York Post.

Nielsen ratings have indicated that viewership for Fallon’s late-night talk show has dropped 20 per cent since this time last year. Additionally Fallon is being killed by his competition at CBS and ABC.

“NBC executives are concerned about the ratings drop and are doing all they can to promote Fallon,” one insider told the Post. “They’re even dragging him out of bed in the morning to do the Today show to promote his own show.”

However NBC still maintain that they support Jimmy Fallon and are pleased with the show’s performance. A spokesperson for the network said, “We are huge Jimmy Fallon fans and could not be happier with his performance. Fallon continues to win night after night in the key demographic.”

NBC Calls Conan O’Brien A Liar

Posted on andPOP:

Conan O’Brien explained on his recent “60 Minutes” interview that his relationship with NBC became “toxic.” If there was any doubt of that before, it is definite now.

TMZ is reporting that NBC execs claim Conan was lying during the interview with Steve Kroft and misrepresented the facts. During the interview Conan explained that it was much cheaper to fire him than Jay Leno, however NBC assures the cost would have been about the same.

Another issue during the interview was whether NBC was losing money with O’Brien as the host.

Kroft: “They said that the — for the first time in history, ‘The Tonight Show’ was losing money.”

Conan: “I don’t see how that’s, I honestly don’t see how that’s possible. It’s really not possible. It isn’t possible.”

NBC execs explain that the show would have lost $5 Million in the first year if Conan remained as a host.

So the controversy continues. Isn’t fun watching rich guys fight?

If you can’t wait for Conan O’Brien’s debut on TBS, here is something to tide you over. The late night comedian will be appearing on 60 Minutes in his first televised interview since his late night dethroning.

“He went and took that show back and I think in a similar situation, if roles had been reversed, I know – I know me, I wouldn’t have done that,” O’Brien, says in the interview scheduled to air on ’60 Minutes’ on Sunday.

“If I had surrendered ‘The Tonight Show’ and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well — and then … six months later,” he added. “But that’s me, you know. Everyone’s got their own, you know, way of doing things.”

O’Brien eventually left NBC thinking “this relationship is going be toxic and maybe we just need to go our separate ways.” He is set to host a talk show on TBS following his comedy tour.

Conan’s tour manager had to be taken to the hospital after showing “symptoms” (what kind of symptoms we don’t know).

Luckily the new TBS host was in a joking mood with the cameramen, and couldn’t help but comment about the free Canadian healthcare system. “I think they’re gonna take his American Express card … because we’re American.”
