Imagine: Late Nite Shuffle



After recent complaints from NBC affiliates about plummeting ratings for their local news around the country. NBC has decided to switch their evening linup following this years Olympic Winter Games. This shift however plans to move the Jay Leno Show from 10PM to 11:35PM...which will bump The Tonight Show hosted by Conan O'Brien past midnight to 12:05AM. Conan released a statement today that included the following...

"
But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.

So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.


There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.


Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it's always been that way.

Yours,
Conan"



Conan expressed his regret and said the move would also be unfair to Jimmy Fallon who inherited "Late Nite" and to Carson Daly who would both be pushed back. Both he and Leno had their own little jabs at the situation during their respective shows...

"NBC said the show performed exactly as they expected it would and then canceled us. Don't confuse this [with] when we were on at late night and performed better than expected and they canceled us. That was totally different," Leno quipped.

O'Brien had the following to say on his show Monday:

-- "Good evening, I'm Conan O'Brien, the new host of 'Last Call with Carson Daly.' "

-- "This weekend no one was seriously hurt, but a 6.5 earthquake hit California. The earthquake was so powerful that it knocked Jay Leno's show from 10:00 to 11:35."

-- "On the positive side, I have learned a valuable lesson from all this: Never sign a contract that ends with the word 'NOT.' "

The dispute must play itself out and it no doubt will get more interesting in the coming weeks. So stay tuned and

Imagine: 50 Cent Squashes Beef w/ Cam?



"I'm not squashing a problem we had in Queens at your event. That's the same way he got other artists to come to his shows, whether they was down with Dipset or D-Block or T.S., or whatever the case may be. It ain't no real beef, but we ain't gonna squash what we had at a Queens event. We'll meet halfway — Triborough Bridge or something. But I ain't going to no show in Queens. I'll be at Harlem Week."

All I can do is smh. Even when he's not trying to be funny; he's still...well, funny. Cam is def one of the most colorful characters in hip hop. If only he could keep that color comedy on his records like the old Cam; 2005 Cam. After listening to his latest release "Crime Pays" May 12th, which is currently selling rusted bronze in stores, it's clear that Cam just isn't the same. The album was only OK, and the only reason for listening to Camron..the whitty ignorant remarks, were lacking. After his hiatus though he's back. Here is another comedic video from an interview Cam did earlier this year talking about Dipset, Rock-a-fella, and where he disappeared to.

Cam'ron Talks Roc-A-Fella, Juelz Santana's Addiction & More!!

IMAGINE: The Most INTERESTING Man in the World

You've seen the commercials by now. I must say after watching it actually made me want to try Dos Equis; even though like the Most Interesting Man I "don't always drink beer". Some people have commented that the ad campaign doesn't make any sense??? IMAGine if there was really a man who...

"Lives vicariously through himself..


His Blood smells like cologne..


His organ donor card also lists his beard..


Can cure narcolepsy just by entering a room..etc
"

This dude is the definition of SWAGG to put it bluntly[Jay-Z go kill youself...jk Hov still the man..but I digress]. I also appreciate that he has some color..thats interesting in and of itself. But why doesn't he have a name? Well because that's a part of being interesting; and there isn't any name worthy of his aura known to man..
+ The way he drops knowledge I consider him to be the ultimate role model, ["his legend is expanding faster than the universe"] and the ad campaign actually is pretty clever..STAY THIRSTY and drink Dos Equis..STAY THIRSTY and live life to the fullest. So if you can't understand that?...Your just not using your imagination..

Stay thirsty my friends, and..
