• I Hate Myself For Loving You: Zooey Deschanel

  Everybody's already in love with actress-turned-indie-rock-darling Zooey Deschanel, which is why, I, Scanner Brian hate myself for having to jump on the bandwagon. Read More...

• Zooey Deschanel, M. Ward and Yo La Tengo Would Like to Give You an Indie Rock Wet Dream this Afternoon

  Yeah, sure, it's pedigreed to an annoying extent, but Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward as She & Him performing on Late Night With Conan O'Brien backed by Yo La Tengo is legitimately entertaining. And, whoa, she's definitely cute. Just one topless scene and we'll have pretty much forgiven her for All the Real Girls.

• Sloppy Seconds: Dita Von Teese's Lesbian Porno

  Helen Mirren was on Conan last night talking about the time she almost got to perform with one of rock's greatest stars, now long gone. "I heard this incredible crashing and banging coming from the ally where the stage door is. [T]his completely drunken guy was climbing out of a trash can, covered in trash and with a pin-striped suit on. A complete madman. Then I heard the crashing and banging coming through the stage door, and up the stairs..." Who was that drunken fool? Plus, Dita's movie and NSFW screenshot, Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor in a gay love story, Rush Limbaugh's latest attempt at humor, and more... Read More...

• Funniest, Most Cringe-Worthy Video of the Day

  Conan O'Brien makes a great case for ending the writers strike with this video. Not because this hilarious extra-long clip co-starring Stephen Colbert and John Stewart isn't hilarious at times. Rather, the length of this sketch is clearly meant to cover for the fact that no one is writing gags for the redheaded Wilt Chamberlin.

• Our Long National Nightmare of Talk Show Reruns Is Now Over

  As you no doubt are aware, you no longer have to go out and find willing sexual partners to keep yourself occupied late nights, Monday thru Friday: the network talk shows are back.

• Conan O'Brien's Priest Stalker A Lot Creepier Than the Horny Manatee

  When betting on the next celebrity to be stalked, the odds on Conan O'Brien were 400/1. We had money on Catherine Zeta Jones (50/1), Ed Asner (200/1), and Sting (7/5). Conan doesn't seem like stalker's target at all. Should have known he'd end up with not just any stalker, but a priest stalker.  Follow the link for more grimy details. Read More...

• Conan O'Brien: Funny "Ha Ha" or Funny "Please Stop"?

  In this video Conan O'Brien flips his lid over a fire alarm test. Half of Scanner thinks he's adorable, and the other half wouldn't kick Craig Ferguson out of bed for Conan. So it's safe to say we're torn. Is this outtake cute, or just cranky? Posted Oct 19 2007, 09:51 AM by Nicole Pasulka with | with 9 comment(s) Filed under: conan obrien
