In — Conan O’Brien start date — It’s official. Conan will take over for Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show” June 1, the Monday after Leno walks away May 29. Finally, we’ll get to see the Triumph a little earlier.


Out — Bale needs to post bail — It turns out it was indeed a dark night for “The Dark Knight” star Christian Bale before the movie’s London premier. Bale was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister. Someone should tell him the filming is over.





In — The Gary Busey business channel — Yup, Gary Busey now has a business channel on YouTube. I’m pretty sure he talks about business. I don’t know, I haven’t checked it. I’m kinda afraid it’ll be videos of him burning himself in a throwback to “Lethal Weapon.”


Out — Dinosaurs are scary when they’re puppets — Speaking of viral videos, there’s one stomping around online from the L.A. Museum that features a life-size dinosaur with a puppeteer inside. Kids run away screaming and crying because it’s so real. Awesome.





In — Dance and save the world — A club in London called Surya is completely eco-friendly, powered by solar panels, wind-turbines and a piezoelectric dance floor that generates power by people dancing on it. Now that’s the electric boogie.


Out — Rave and you might get blinded — In other news that scares the hell out of me, over 30 ravers have been partially blinded by a laser light show at the Aquamarine Open Air Festival in Kirzhach, Russia.





In — The first deaf opera leaves people speechless — On the tiny Aland islands in southwestern Finland, “The Hunt of King Charles” was performed with sign language and facial expressions — all of this for the deaf. I want to go and see this, now.


Out — The second “Top Gun” leaves people speechless — In what can only be referred to as the worst idea since jumping on couches, there might be a “Top Gun” sequel. Tom Cruise is shopping around the crazy, I mean, the movie.





In — Justin Timberlake at the ESPYs — Justin Timberlake was awesome at the ESPN ESPYs. Period. Next topic.


Out — Estelle Getty was a legend — The world has sadly just gotten a little bit less golden as the great Estelle Getty passed away. Getty played “Ma” on “The Golden Girls.”
