Actor Paul Reubens, playing the character Pee-wee Herman, launches his Pee-wee Herman show at a press conference at Club Nokia on December 7, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.
Pee-wee Herman, with his red bow tie and too-tight gray suit, sashays back to his theater roots on Jan. 12 with "The Pee-wee Herman Show." The 90-minute production plays for a month at Los Angeles’ Club Nokia.
"I toyed with the idea of bringing Pee-wee back a couple of years ago, but I’m a lazy guy at heart," says Paul Reubens, whose high-pitched alter ego clearly still has a fan base. A debut date last Nove. . .
Conan O’Brien released a statement Tuesday saying that he no longer wanted to be the host of “The Tonight Show” on NBC if it appeared at 12:05 a.m.
Mr. O’Brien’s brief run as host at 11:35 p.m. is to be cut short next month, as NBC decided to restore his predecessor, Jay Leno, to that time period. Mr. O’Brien has been growing increasingly upset in recent days about how he believes he was treated by NBC’s management.

News Corp. paid Seth MacFarlane the ultimate compliment when it made him Twentieth Century Fox TV's $100 million crown jewel. But the "Family Guy" creator isn't necessarily returning the favor.
At the series' Comic-Con panel Saturday, MacFarlane continued his show's tradition of jibing its host studio and network.
MacFarlane revealed he's producing a controversial episode about abortion for the upcoming season. But he and others on the panel said that Fox was unlikely to air the episode.
"Twentieth Century Fox, as always, allowed us to produce the episode and then said, 'You . . .

In one of its typically late-to-the-game, random cultural broadsides, the writers of Entourage went after Seth Rogen in last night’s episode, calling his “ugliness…oddly fascinating” in a debate over whether the actor could land a Katherine Heigl-type in real life.
One might assume that the affable Rogen would shrug off the insult with a friendly, Fozzie-ish chuckle, but they don’t call where Rogen’s at a “fighting weight” for nothing! Behold, his amazing response when asked about the incident for E!’s Daily 10:
“Yeah, those guys are assholes. I actually ran into Matt…Kevin Dil. . .

TMZ just obtained the track for an unreleased song Michael Jackson recorded. The song "A Place with No Name" sounds similar to the song "A Horse with No Name" released by the group America back in 1971.
"We're told several years ago America's manager gave his group's permission for Jackson to record the song, "A Place with No Name" despite the similarity."
