Conan O’Brien Tour Dates

The rumored Conan O’Brien tour is not a rumor.

O’Brien, whose leave by “The Tonight Show” and NBC bars him from taking yet another TV job until September, will release “The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour” in Eugene, Ore., on April 12. He, sidekick Andy Richter and his “Tonight Show” band led from Max Weinberg will hit 30 cities over two months.

O’Brien released the tour Thursday morning (March 11) on his Twitter feed: “Hey Internet: I’m headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to http://TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It’s half-assed.”

The tour includes dates at the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal Studios in L.A. — an NBC Universal-owned property that’s simply a stone’s throw from O’Brien’s “Tonight Show” soundstage — and Radio City Music Hall in New York, just up the street from NBC headquarters. O’Brien and Co. may also hit Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Austin, Chicago, Toronto and Washington, D.C., on the tour, and also the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee on June 11.

O’Brien is promising “a night of comedy, music, hugging and the occasional awkward silence.”

Conan O’Brien Tickets start at $39.50 and can also be found through Ticketmaster.

Eclipse Trailer

The full trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will debut online Friday at 9 a.m. ET, but today, we’ve got a 10-second tease. And that is just enough time for Edward and Jacob to sound like stalkers if taken out of context (Edward: “I know the consequences of this choice you’re making”; Jacob: “I’m gonna fight for you until your heart stops beating”) and for us to get a shirtless shot of Taylor Lautner.

What do you think? I’m slightly horrified that I noted and appreciated the continuity of Bella’s bed comforter.

Sean Hayes talk about his Sexuality

Just Jack just came out.

Four years after ending his run as Will & Grace’s scene-stealing sidekick, Sean Hayes has confirmed the long-swirling rumors of his sexuality by proudly taking this month’s cover of The Advocate.

“I am who I am,” the 39-year-old Emmy winner told the magazine. “I was never in, as they say. Never.”

As for why Hayes waited so long to speak so candidly about his personal life, well, there’s one simple reason: It was—and despite his sudden forthcomingness, remains—nobody’s business.

“I believe that nobody owes anything to anybody,” he said. “Nobody owes anything to anybody. You are your authentic self to whom and when you choose to be, and if you don’t know somebody, then why would you explain to them how you live your life?”

And despite his previous reluctance to go on record about his personal life, Hayes still rightly feels he has done more than his part for the community.

“I feel like I’ve contributed monumentally to the success of the gay movement in America, and if anyone wants to argue that, I’m open to it. You’re welcome, Advocate.”

However, the road to his coming out was long, and Hayes is not without disappointment for those who did their best to out him before he was ready, including the Advocate itself.

“Why would you go down that path with somebody who’s done so much to contribute to the gay community?” he asked. “That was my beef about it. What more do you want me to do? Do you want me to stand on a float? And then what? It’s never enough.

“That’s the thing about celebrity: It sets you up to fail because the expectation is so high of what’s needed, what’s wanted from you that the second you don’t [meet it], you disappoint people.”

As for whether his disclosure will cost the erstwhile Jack McFarland any future jobs, he can’t say.

“They know where I am if they want me,” he said. “And if they don’t, that’s fine, too.”

Still, Hayes, about to make his Broadway debut alongside Kristin Chenoweth in Promises, Promises, isn’t divulging everything about his private life. While he confirms that he’s in a relationship, that’s about the extent of the details he’s dishing.

“I spend time with a special someone in my life,” he said. “That’s it. That’s all I need. I don’t need events. I don’t do a lot. I live my life like an 85-year-old man. I’m just quiet. It’s fantastic.”
