“It’s Conan, simple, pure, like the guy himself,” Conan O’Brien said in the YouTube video announcement. O’Brien joked in the video that he spent millions on legal and media research teams to come up with the name for his new show.

Conan O’Brien infamously walked away from NBC’s Tonight Show earlier this year after the network tried to bump him to a later time slot to move Jay Leno back to late night. O’Brien reportedly received a severance package of an estimated $45 million, but had to agree not to appear on television again until the fall.

Conan will premiere on TBS before Lopez Tonight on November 8.

Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas revealed on the David Letterman Show Tuesday night that his throat cancer has spread. Douglas said he now has stage 4 throat cancer, but his doctors still give him an 80 percent chance of a full recovery.

Doctors found Michael Douglas’ throat cancer in early August, after it had already reached an advanced stage. “It’s a stage four [cancer], which is intense,” Douglas told David Letterman. You want to be at stage one.”

Douglas said he just finished his first full week of radiation and chemotherapy, a routine he will have to go through for eight weeks. Douglas blamed his disease on his lifetime of smoking and drinking.

Catherina Zeta-Jones, Douglas’ wife, told People magazine she was furious doctors did not find the cancer earlier. “He sought every option and nothing was found,” she said. “The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired.”

Douglas said the cancer treatments he is undergoing are severely draining. “It knocks you out really hard… I’m doing everything I can.”

Paris Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits were pulled over by police in Las Vegas outside the Wynn Hotel Friday night. Waits, the driver, was arrested for drug-related DUI. Hilton reportedly went for something in her purse during the arrest and while she was digging around, a “bindle of cocaine in a plastic bag came out,” according to police.

Now Hilton is claiming the cocaine is not hers, allegedly swearing she had no idea the drugs were in her purse. According to TMZ.com, Hilton claims a friend recently borrowed the purse and is probably to blame for the cocaine being in it.

Yeah, right Paris. Not only do we not believe you one tiny bit, but that has got to be one of the lamest excuses ever!
