I much prefer Conan. He can get a little too much with his weird sounds sometimes. Other than that, I really like him. I am not much of a Leno fan. He is ok, I have nothing against him. I think his talk show host abilities are not as good as many of the others, past and present. Leno also drops his voice and I can't hear what he is saying. I wish I'd seen the interview with Conan.

If you ever want a chuckle, Conan's twitters (only once a day) are very unique. I'm not a twitterer, but I have an account and follow only a couple of people. He's one of them. They are hit and miss, but I certainly enjoy his sense of humor, sometimes self deprecating.

I think Conan needs to move on. Leno has been in this business a long time.

Rocker Bret Michaels' doctor spoke in a news conference on Tuesday, explaining that Michaels has been released from the hospital and is expected to fully recover, less than a month after suffering a brain-stem hemorrhage. Dr. Joseph Zabramski told reporters, "I really expect that he will fortunately make a one-hundred-percent recovery." The neurosurgeon called Michaels a "very lucky person," saying that only 20 percent of those who suffer hemorrhages like he did make a full recovery. Zabramski said from here on out it will take "about seven to ten days more than now before [his condition] will completely resolve and he will really be able to feel like he's on the mend and can resume all of his activities." "What I made him promise me is that he would make no promises," Zabramski said regarding when Michaels may be able to get back to work. "He's still very sick right now," the doctor noted, saying that they are planning to reassess his condition every two weeks. When it comes to what Michaels suffered, the physician said, "There is nothing you can do to prevent this from happening. ... Everyone in this room has the same risk that he did."

My daughter loves peacocks so she'd go nuts over that photo in the link. While I'm watching the video I just get a big Adam Lambert vibe. Artistically it's very interesting. And then I'm wondering if she's even legal yet? LOL. Didn't she just have her sweet 16 party at Disneyland last year? She's really trying to leave the Hannah Montana crowd behind.

Well many people may disagree with me but I feel that Conan has a very bad case of sour grapes and he seems to be very upset with the wrong person. Jay Leno did not want to loose his show that was the networks doing. Then the network decided to cancel Conan's show and put Leno back on. That was also the networks doing, not Leno. Many late shows have come and gone over the years and when the network decides to pull the plug it is always the networks decision. Conan was paid VERY VERY well for his show to be pulled off the air and for some reason he seems to think that this was all decided by Jay Leno. Jay Leno does not have that much power, but when the networks decided that Conan was not generating enough viewers and asked Jay to come back, why would or should have Jay to say no if he wanted back what was taken away from him to start with. Wow I wish someone would offer me the kind of money Conan made for doing nothing. Just MHO.....

Holy Canoli Gidget, Spectacular video & outfit... But I'm conflicted due to her age. Otherwise, it's terrific.

Jimmer, if you search for Conan OBrien, you should be able to find it. I'm at work now and they don't allow access to twitter here.

Miley's peacock pose is not to my liking for one so young. Not in good taste, so suggestive.

Miley is growing up. Is she 18 yet? She probably will be very soon. I thought the outfit was AMAZING, just not on her. Kinda wasted it. On Pink or someone else with talent it would have been spectacular. Don't think the lyrics to her song are age appropriate.

LOL - She is certainly channeling Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert. It's pretty good (IMO) but Miley faces the same problem that many child stars face and that is the sometimes awkward transition to performing as an adult. She is moving very quickly in that direction and it may be too quick for some people. She will be 18 in November.

I think if she wasn't known for for her teenybopper Hannah Montana persona, the transition wouldn't be such a huge deal. It might still be problematic due to her age, but just not such a big shocker.

I worry about the push on Miley to "grow up" but I think all 16 and 17 year olds feel that. One thing I like is her family. Why they may seem like spotlight and money hos, they at least support each other and there is a family structure there. Despite the early sexiness, I don't Miley will go the route of Brittany and Lindsay.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out: Estranged wife, children suing Wade's girlfriend By TIM REYNOLDS, AP Sports Writer Tim Reynolds, Ap Sports Writer – 27 mins ago MIAMI – The estranged wife of Dwyane Wade has filed suit against his actress girlfriend Gabrielle Union, saying their relationship has caused the NBA All-Star's two sons emotional distress. Siohvaughn Wade filed the suit in Chicago this week, adding yet another chapter to the years-long divorce saga between the former high school sweethearts who separated more than two years ago. She and Dwyane Wade had two sons, ages 8 and 2, who are listed as plaintiffs. Dwyane Wade responded Wednesday, releasing a statement calling the lawsuit "baseless and meritless." An attorney for Siohvaughn Wade did not immediately respond to an interview request. yahoo.com link ...

I don't like that photo of Miley. She's not 18. Girls these days are being pushed to grow up too fast. She's supposed to be a role model..sigh My daughter does like Miley's music a lot better now that she's not singing as Hannah Montana.But, that outfit and photo is too grown up.

As a mother I find the photo and video a bit much, but looking back on my 17 year old self?! Well, let's just say I wasn't much of a goodie-two-shoes, so felt very grown up at 17. Yikes! Maybe the times haven't really changed that much.

I've accepted that Miley Cyrus is who she is, and have no problems with her outfit. She strikes me as "mature for her age" and it seems to come naturally to her. Let the girl do what she wants.

I guarantee that time will tell us a whole lot about her, whether or not she was mature for her age.

I'm not on board with judging this girl for dressing in a stunning peacock outfit. We haven't lived this girl's life, she seems to have a very stable family, and this isn't the 1950s. I could see if she was 14, but she's 17 and seems very aware of what she's doing. Whether she turns out a mess or not I have no idea, but tracing her downfall back to a revealing peacock dress seems a bit much.

I didn't see a single person trace a downfall to the costume. We were discussing several topics at once. costume Miley fame of young girls effective of family on fame of young girls later teen years in general transition from child to adult star I could find no judging or downfall.

Well there certainly was some judging, if only of the photo, or of her being in the situation at her age, etc. Judging isn't always a negative thing, can be from caring or worrying or commenting on choices. Maybe evaluating sounds better than judging? We all have opinions and they are rarely identical. I looked at the picture and didn't feel alarmed and didn't go to the video because so many of the sites clog up my computer so unless I'm very interested I just don't click on video links. So I can't even comment on the video. Jimmer mentioned Adam Lambert.. I like him and Lady Gaga who clearly is a presence.. last night on American Idol I finally just FF through Lady Gaga, as her performnance last night was so repetitive and really just boring. But I do read worry or judging or anticipation of problems in most discussions of Miley.
