Hey, you guys? What's "American Idol"?

No, seriously. The only time I watch FOX is when Jon Stewart bashes tea parties on "The Daily Show."

Well, apparently this so-called "American Idol" show--am I pronouncing that right?--featured amateur songster Larry Platt. His self-penned single, "Pants on the Ground," continues to make its way across the blogosphere; just picture different people watching it on a laptop in front of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, and the Kremlin, respectively. Oh, and Jimmy Fallon.

Our sister site Webfetti decided to get in on the action. Get your free Pants on the Ground glitter graphic for your profile! Post it on your blog, MySpace, Facebook and more.

It's a great reminder of Platt's musical antics--and the fact that it's 2 a.m. and you have no idea where your pants are.

Conan O'Brien and NBC: Whither Triumph the Insult Comic Dog?

Hi, Buzz readers!

TMZ reports on the latest in the Late Night fight (via New York mag):

TMZ today has new details on Conan's reported $40 million walkaway deal with NBC: $7.5 million is allocated for severances for Tonight Show employees; Conan will agree not to host a show anywhere else until September.

Not bad, Coco! You free yourself from your abusive relationship with the executives at your network, and you can host a show on a rival network as soon as Back to School season.

Unfortunately, New York mentions that "NBC will likely retain the rights to all of Conan's recurring characters." Oh no...Whither the self-pleasuring bear or Triumph the Insult Comic Dog?

As an homage to one of my favorite characters, below is a clip of Triumph speaking with Star Wars fanatics. Enjoy, Cone-heads.

OK, you guys. It's bad enough that I was late to the gate on "Jersey Shore," but now I have an even bigger confession.

I have yet to see Avatar.

Yes, I've heard about the visually stunning 3D animation. Said one illustrator at our office, "You can see their pores!" Another mentioned the moving musical score. "It's my ringtone," she said.

Sigh. Well, today I journey to Times Square to see my first ever showing. Wish me luck--firstly because you still have to arrive an hour beforehand to get a ticket. Secondly, it seems that everyone who emerges from the theater can't stop talking about it!

If you're a fan of the Na'vi tale, decorate your MySpace or Facebook with Avatar-inspired graphics from our sister site Webfetti. Spread the word about the most important part of the film--its message about saving the environment.

Jersey Shore, Ed Hardy, and free tattoos for MySpace

I know, I know. I'm late to the "Jersey Shore" party, and everyone was invited. But perhaps it was worth the wait in order to debut the show with clips featuring Michael Cera. Here, having gotten a blow out from Pauly D, Cera tries a new Ed Hardy shirt on for size.

For you Hardy boys, post similar tattoos from our sister site Webfetti on your MySpace or Facebook. They've got hardcore skulls and hearts to add style to your page.

And that's, ahem, the situation.

Tell NBC that you're on Team Conan

Copy the code below and paste it into a blog post.

NBC announced that they planned to move the flailing "Jay Leno Show" from 10:00 p.m. back to 11:35 and push back "The Tonight Show" with Conan O'Brien to 12:05 a.m.

After weighing his options, Conan refused the 12:05 deal. Why? In a press release yesterday, O'Brien said:

I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn?t the Tonight Show. (via CNN)

I'm with Coco. NBC made poor decision after poor decision. Says Gawker, "First came the surprise news of former Tonight Show host Jay Leno's 10pm show, meaning O'Brien would continue to follow his predecessor in NBC's nighttime lineup." And after Conan was given scant time to establish his show, the network wants...backsies?!

"Hey, NBC said they wanted drama at 10," said Jay Leno.

What say you, gentle readers? If you're on Twitter, tweet your support for Conan by adding #teamconan to your missive. Or copy the code of the peacock above to post it on your blog and add an incendiary message to NBC.

Says New York magazine's Vulture column, "It's times like these when we flash back to what Jerry Maguire taught us about the industry: Remember, it's not show friends, it's show business."

Dress up your photos for winter



Above: Unlike The Situation himself, this photo is bundled up for winter!

As a former Californian, I've experienced many a harsh but snowless winter. Transitioning from flip flops to Converse sneakers, zipping up one's hoodie, neglecting to put on one's sunglasses...Harrowing, the cold season!

Whether or not you're living in warm climes, add a touch of winter to your newest pics with our sister site Webfetti's Fab Foto application.
