Conan O’Brien has announced that he will pay the salaries of his non-striking staff next week, out of his own pocket.
The writer's strike is not expected to end anytime soon.
In contrast, 120 non-striking employees of "The Tonight Show" were laid off today and given an early Christmas bonus. TMZ reports that employees were told they would get a bonus of $100 for every year they've been with the show, but some didn't even get that. The show has been dark since November 5th when the strike started and NBC has been covering since then. Jay Leno is a CREEP, he would never help anyone out from his own pocket. He has to take care of his CARS, and that's all he cares about.
Employees don't even know if they will have a job once the strike ends. They were told, “If your services are needed, we will contact you.”

About my Vacation...
Current mood: annoyed
...and all the pictures of it online.
This is the last time I will address this subject.
I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I'm not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.
A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn't make you beautiful.
What I should be doing is celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement to the man of my dreams, instead of having to deal with photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles. I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body.
To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini – put it on and stay strong.

Lindsay Pimps Herself Out
Lindsay Lohan isn’t doing much to help rumors that she’s strapped for cash. Lohan reportedly shopped around staged Thanksgiving dinner photos that included her mother Dina, sister Ali, her brothers and boyfriend Riley Giles to many of the celeb weeklies. Her asking price began in the six-figure range before dropping to $20,000. “She thinks she’s a huge star. She thinks everyone is dying to read about her, but she’s lost her fan base. Her decisions are being driven by cash, not repairing her image,” said a source who was approached about buying the pics.
Although her photos didn't earn her any money (and her rep denies the entire incident), word is that her Black Friday shopping trip did. Lohan was photographed shopping at an Armani Exchange and Intermix store in Manhattan on Nov. 23, and a source close to the rehabbed starlet says the trip wasn't just pre-arranged to give the paparazzi a heads up, she was paid for the visit, too. PAID TO SHOP?! Too bad it was at Armani Exchange..yuk.

A source said, “She’ll be the youngest client."

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton Are Sweet
Here's my beloved Johnny Depp, after a night having dinner with his friend and long-time associate, director, Tim Burton and Burton's wife, Helena Bonham Carter. The three met up at the London restaurant, Cipriani, looking rumpled, wacky and dressed in black and/or like a cartoon detective--which is my favorite way for them to look. It appears that Helena is in dire need of some chapstick, as her lips are bleeding! I would recommend Blistex lip infusion.
Sweeney Todd" is the sixth time collaboration for Depp and Burton. Five other previous movies including 1990's "Edward Scissorhands," 1994's "Ed Wood," 1999's "Sleepy Hollow," 2005's "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

Jessica Dates Britney's Leftover One Night Stand
Sweet papa Joe buys Jess's bras, and picks her dates
Just when you think that Jessica Simpson might possibly be making decisions on her own, a source tells Page Six that when it comes to her new romance with Tony Romo -- it was none other than the perpetually creepy Papa Joe Simpson pulling the strings.
Joe and Tony have been friendly for a while. Joe is a huge Dallas Cowboy fan, and Tony has always had a crush on her - he even said on his Web site like a year ago that it was his dream to date her. He had been dating Carrie Underwood, until she found out he was covered in cooties from letting Britney Spears "give him a lap dance."
Jessica has been in Nashville and Dallas recording her new country album. When Tony found out, he called Joe and said, 'I know she's not dating anyone right now, can I take her out for a drink at least?' Jessica said it was OK for Joe to give Tony her number and they hit it off. And on the nights Tony is busy, Jess will still have the sweet lovin' that only her papa can give her.
Yet Another Great Reason to Have a Baby
Now that former best friend turned enemy turned best friend again Nicole Richie is pregnant, Paris Hilton has decided she wants a baby, too. According to People Magazine
Paris said “Nicole and I have been playing together since we were two years old. I was just telling her, ‘I want a baby so that our babies can play together. I would love to start a family."
Bad news, Paris. You need a man for more than one night to "start a family." Man, that kid is going to have some HUGE FEET.
Top Ten "Shocking" Hollywood Secrets
From In Touch Magazine...
10. Reese Witherspoon
Reese’s brother was arrested for sexual battery
On October 5, 2002, Reese Witherspoon’s older brother, John, was arrested after he entered a Nashville neighbor’s home and tried to undress and kiss a woman while she slept. John, 34, pled guilty to lesser charges, and according to his attorney, he “took her word for it,” because he was drunk and blacked out on the night in question. Reese, 31, helped her brother after he finished his two years on probation by making him her personal assistant on the ironically titled film Our Family Trouble.
9. Gavin Rossdale
Gavin had a secret love child
In 2004, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, 42, were happily married and planning for a baby. But that October, Gwen got shocking news — Gavin’s 15-year-old goddaughter was actually his love child with former flame Pearl Lowe. “He stopped returning my calls,” Pearl says. DNA tests confirmed that Daisy Lowe was in fact his daughter. Gwen, 38, was said to be devastated, but soon after announced she was pregnant with her and Gavin’s baby Kingston, now 18 months. “You get through the rocky times,” Gwen has said.
8. Michelle Williams
Michelle’s dad faces tax evasion charges
Michelle Williams has been estranged from her father, Larry, since she was 15, but she’s still upset that the IRS charged the 64-year-old stock market trader with evading $1.5 million in taxes after he flew to Australia. “It’s a strange thing having one’s father locked up, but you get used to it,” Michelle, 27, says. When he was arrested in May 2006, it wasn’t lost on Michelle that her dad was detained in her ex Heath Ledger’s native country. “Of all places,” she says. “It’s like, could you pick somewhere else to be arrested?”
7. Woody Harrelson
Woody’s father was a convicted hit man
Woody Harrelson was only 7-years-old when his father, Charles, killed a Texas businessman and was put in jail. “I don’t feel he was much of a father,” says Woody. “He took no part in my upbringing.” Later, while Woody was attending college, his father was arrested again for the murder of a federal judge. Charles denied it and appealed to his son for support. “He was no saint,” says Woody, 46. “But I think he’s innocent of that killing.” Charles died in March while serving two life sentences.
6. Sara Evans
Sara claimed her husband had kinky desires
When country singer Sara Evans’ marriage to Craig Schelske fell apart last year, she aired his dirty laundry in court papers. Sara, 36, alleged that her husband of 13 years “kept a list of ads seeking casual and ménage-a-trois sex and had nude photos of himself indulging in sexual acts with other women,” on their home computer. Sara’s biggest concern was that their children Avery, 8, Olivia, 4, and Audrey, 3, were being exposed to the smutty shots. After Craig made shocking claims about Sara, they both agreed to drop their allegations and resolve their divorce “amicably.”
5. Tobey Maquire
Tobey’s dad was a bank robber
Growing up, Tobey Maguire’s home life was far from perfect. At the age of 3, his parents split and he was forced to live with other family members. Then, in 1993, when Tobey was 18, his down-on-his-luck dad, Vincent, a cook, robbed a California bank and served two years in prison. Says a family friend of the shocking situation: “Tobey is aware his dad made a rash decision which cost him dearly. He was broke and has been a model citizen ever since.” Tobey, 32, learned a valuable lesson. “Growing up the way I did, I have a very serious ambition to make money and have some security,” he says.
4. Orlando Bloom
Orlando didn’t know who his real dad was
Growing up in Canterbury, Kent, England, Orlando Bloom believed that author and civil rights activist Harry Bloom was his father. Harry died when Orlando was only 4, and family friend Colin Stone became his legal guardian. It wasn’t until Orlando was a teenager that his mom, Sonia, admitted that Colin was actually his biological dad. “As long as I can remember, Colin has been a good friend, but I always thought Harry was my real father,” says Orlando, 30. “I don’t remember much about Harry, but my mother always speaks highly of him,” he says.
3. Halle Berry
Halle’s dad was abusive
Halle Berry’s parents divorced when she was a toddler. But her mom, Judith, invited her dad, Jerome, to move back into their Ohio home when Halle was 10 because she felt her daughters needed a father figure. Halle calls that year “the worst of my life,” because of Jerome’s violent behavior. “He abused my mother and my sister Heidi constantly,” she admits. Although she wasn’t harmed, “I was dealing with a lot of guilt,” Halle, 41, says.
2. Charlize Theron
Charlize’s mom killed her father
On June 21, 1991, Charlize Theron’s dad returned to their South African home after a long night of drinking. “My dad had a disease,” Charlize, 32, says. “He was an alcoholic.” Charlize says her dad never physically harmed her, but admits “he was a verbal abuser.” So when he fired a shotgun into the then 15-year-old’s bedroom, her mom, Gerda, shot and killed her husband. The court ruled it self-defense. “If my daughter was in the same situation, I’d do the same thing,” admits Charlize.
1. Nicole Richie
Nicole’s real dad was in Lionel’s band
Nicole Richie has always known Lionel and Brenda Richie as her mom and dad. But her real parents were actually members of Lionel’s band, who gave her up when she was 3-years-old. “My parents were friends with Lionel and they trusted that they would be better able to provide for me,” reveals Nicole, 26. So the Simple Life star — who was officially adopted when she was 9, a year before Lionel and Brenda divorced — was raised in an upscale LA suburb, where she met best friend Paris Hilton and dealt with her famous dad’s constant absence. “When Nicole came along, I was gone,” Lionel, 58, admits. Though her teens were rocky — she went to rehab for heroin addiction — Nicole is now very close with Brenda and Lionel.
10. Reese Witherspoon
Reese’s brother was arrested for sexual battery

Jim Carrey is Really Confident and Happy
I think Jim Carrey sometimes forgets that thousands of people have naked pictures of his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy. The couple was leaving Santa Monica restaurant Warszawa recently when McCarthy was approached by fans wanting autographs on their nudie pics. Mike Walker of the National Enquirer has the rest:
Jenny gasped when she took a look at the pics, which they’d found on the Internet, and Jim exploded when he saw they showed his sweetie naked! Instantly snatching them from her hands, Jim ripped the photos to shreds and flung them in the air, bellowing: “KNOCK THIS #*$@% OFF!” Glaring at the stunned morons, Jim grabbed Jenny and split for their car.
Jerry Seinfeld Doesn't Allow His Wife To Talk About Him
Things apparently got a little tense at Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld's house, after the comedy legend heard about his wife's interview on Barbara Walters' Sirius satellite radio show.
While chatting with Walters, Jessica Seinfeld flatly stated her hubby's new animated hit ''Bee Movie'' would be his last big-screen venture. Seems the four years of work on the film, plus the recent massive publicity campaign, which kept Papa Seinfeld away from his wife and kids, was just too much for the family to bear, at least as far as Jessica Seinfeld was concerned.
Jerry was angry, and made it clear to his wife that she should never discuss his career plans in public without first consulting him. Don't worry, Jerry.. you're not funny anymore, so no one really cares what your future plans may be. or BEE.
Put Your Tiny Hand in Mine
Remember when George Michael was really good looking? Okay, it was a long time ago, over twenty years. He was so cute, and "dated" Brooke Shields, back when we didn't really think about every single man probably being gay. He was quoted recently saying "I am trying to smoke less marijuana every day". No offense, George, but I don't think that's your biggest problem. He says he will continue to have unprotected sex with dirty fat truck drivers anywhere he can find them. The former hunk turned hideous freak says he wrote the song "Father Figure" because he likes older men, and is not ashamed of this.

In Touch Offers Proof of Britney's Pregnancy, Her Couches Are Covered in Poop
Mom of the Year, photogenic Brit
In Touch has documented proof that on Monday, November 26, the music producer did indeed confirm in these text messages that Britney is pregnant and that he is the father. When asked about rumors about Britney's pregnancy and whether he is the father, J.R. texted "It's true." And when questioned about Britney's intentions regarding her unborn baby, he responded, "No clue on what she will do. She is unpredictable."
I believe In Touch before I'd believe Britney. Here are some lovely shots of her at The Four Seasons Hotel last night. Kevin has gone to court to get Britney's house declared unsafe and unsanitary, saying her "couches are covered with feces" and that she has a "sex/torture room" in her house. Not shocking.
We Never Saw THIS Coming
Lindsay and Riley had sex in a stairwell 10 minutes after meeting, so we all thought it would last!
Not only is Lindsay Lohan been seen out "boozing" again, she's dumped her snowboard dude, Riley Giles. They spent Thanksgiving together, but she told pals that he was too whiny and pouty, complained all the time and "never paid for anything."

Britney at Target
Gene Simmons Has High Class Friends
The A listers who showed up to roast Kiss's Gene Simmons included Carrot Top and Cory Feldman. Who could have imagined he had friends in such high places? WTF is Feldman wearing on his arm/hand? It looks like one of those video game controllers.. nice shirt too! His hands are so gay and dainty.. UGH! And Carrot- well, he leaves me speechless.
Britney Gets Naked in Store, Then Shoplifts
Britney was in The Hustler Store, and went to try on these underwear.
"They told her they don't allow people to try on underwear and she was really upset."
She decided to take off her own underwear - in the middle of the shop floor - before trying on a pair of pants with 'Barely Legal' stitched across the butt. How ridiculous, she's nearly thirty years old.
Fifteen other customers looked on in shock at the mother-of-two's antics. One witness told Us Weekly: "The employees said, 'Don't change out here!' She's just like, 'Well, I couldn't take them in the fitting room!' It was just like dealing with a child."
Spears's tantrum continued. "The staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card," the source went on. But on the way out Spears went up to a mannequin, snatched its wig, and stole it.
Steve-O Gets High With Dr. Pepper Can
Steve-O was boldly smoking pot in public, in the presence of cameras and the media, at an event to honor Gene Simmons. And out of a Dr. Pepper can, at that!
The “Gene Simmons Roast” took place last night at the Key Club in Hollywood California. And thanks to Steve-O, the Sunset Boulevard establishment became a pot-smoking haven.
