6 Buzz In: Which Stars Would Make Great Awards Show Hosts?
Premiering this Saturday at 10 p.m. on BBC America, Chris Hardwick's Nerdist podcast makes its leap from audio to the visual wonders of TV with The Nerdist. The talk-show-style program will feature Chris's usual sidekicks Jonah Ray and Matt Mira along with special guests Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith (a double dose of Doctor on Saturday night) and nerd crush Craig Ferguson. Catch a sneak peek of the Read more
As host of the Late Late Show, Craig Ferguson has been keeping us in stitches since taking over late-night hosting duties in 2005. Craig is a nerd-lover's dream; his love of science fiction and geekery come through on every episode and his Twitter account. Here's why we love the funny Scotsman. Devoted Whovian — He dedicated an entire episode of his talk show to his love of Doctor Who. Read more
Many of our favorite stars took to Twitter this week to share photos from their adventures. Chelsea Handler pumped up her energy with a shot of B12, while Paris Hilton went more low-key without her most famous sidekicks. The boys of Entourage got back to work, and Bethenny Frankel fit in a nap between beach days in her bikini while on her honeymoon. Click through to see all the shots, and don't Read more
If I watch Sunday's Tony Awards, it won't be just because I love Broadway. No, I'll also be watching for Neil Patrick Harris, who's hosting this year's ceremony. Harris cracks me up, and he's got a confident presence behind the mic. When he and Kristin Chenoweth briefly appeared to present an award at last year's Emmys, I found myself wishing they'd just hosted the whole show! The man apparently Read more
Patrick Swayze's first television interview since he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer airs tomorrow on 20/20. He reveals how tough the battle with his illness has been. — ABC Jett Travolta's body was cremated yesterday, and his autopsy results concluded his death was directly caused by a seizure. His ashes have been flown back to Florida with his parents. — AP Jessica Simpson is Read more
Roseanne Barr recently appeared on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson to discuss her newfound single life, her ideal mate, and being "over it." Ahem, vaginal rejuvenation surgery (and a brand new "vajunior") is a funny way of being over it, if you ask me. Craig went on to ask how Rosie passes the time without sex in her life. She replied, "I tell jokes." Now I can't argue with that. Read more
Accident or conspiracy? David Letterman and Craig Ferguson delivered the same (lame) joke on the same night last week. Their late-night talk shows aired back to back on the same network, too. What's even more baffling is the fact that these dudes actually had writers. Did one of their writers leak the joke cuz it's now — (wait for it, wait for it) — the Year of the Rat? Ba-dum ching!

Reuters has an appreciation of Beatles spiritual mentor Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who died overnight. Brittany Murphy may be Lindsay Lohan's replacement in the dark comedy Poor Things, writes Hollywood Reporter. Billboard has news that Metallica, Pearl Jam, and Kanye West will headline Bonnaroo this year — and not Led Zeppelin, as some sources erroneously reported. ComingSoon reports that Josh Read more
Charming Craig Ferguson did some sleuthing and found a much shorter and more condensed Tom Cruise/Scientology video. If you don't want to watch the long drawn out one, consider this the Cliffs Notes version. Enjoy! Thanks, Gawker! Read more
All of the major late-night hosts — Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O'Brien, and Craig Ferguson — return to the air tonight with new episodes for the first time since the Hollywood writers' strike began in November. Leno, Kimmel, and O'Brien will be winging it without their writers (and with picketing writers demonstrating outside their shows' studios). Letterman and Read more
