Links, Links, Links

Ah, it's Tuesday so it must be time for another batch of links. This time, I am fighting through the worst case of food poisoning/stomach flu that I have ever experienced in order to bring you want you want. You can thank me later.

It appears to be official. One of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood is out and Jimmy Fallon will be stepping in Conan O'Brien's massive shoes as host of "Late Night" when NBC finally puts Leno out to pasture in 2009. I have no doubt that Conan will be successful on "The Tonight Show", but Fallon? Who knows?

Thank goodness that the CW didn't blow it. "Reaper" has been renewed!

So I got an email from Slick yesterday about this turd being green lighted by Hollywood. Seriously? "Hot Tub Time Machine"??? I guess Slick and I need to get cracking on that long gestating screenplay of ours because movie studios are sounding desperate.

Narrow Stairs, the new disc from Death Cab from Cutie, drops today in a store near you. Want to hear it before you buy it? Thanks to AOL, you can listen to the whole album. Sounds like a winner to me.

It's official. John Mayer is officially a male gigolo. He and Jennifer Aniston are a couple according to E! Let's look at his lists of conquests, shall we? Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Scherzinger, "Friday Night Lights" Minka Kelly. Whether you like his music or not, the dude is a player! And who knew that he had a sleeve of tattoos?

Speaking of Jessica Simpson lovers, Tony Romo should keep his day job. This performance at Wrigley on Sunday made even Mike Ditka sound like Pavarotti.

You know after the often silly and – dare I say it – boring aspects of the last 3 Star Wars movies, I should not be excited for this. But, darn it, once I hear John Williams' score, the little kid in me comes alive and the fanboy in me resurfaces. Plus, I love the look on my 3 year olds face when he sees Yoda.

Oh good Lord! Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon might be gay, but her girlfriend is definitely a DUDE.

And finally, I am digging the ingenuity shown in the Dick Trickle All-Stars. Yahoo put together the list of MLB players with names that belong on the NASCAR circuit. Buck Coats and Jimmy Gobble have got to be straight out of Darlington.
