Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC

Just because he won’t be moving far doesn’t mean Jay Leno can’t throw himself a party.

Starting next Monday, a list of celebrities will be stopping by The Tonight Show to offer their goodbyes. The weeklong “farewell” will cap off Leno’s 17-year run at 11:30 PM.

On May 25, Mel Gibson will kick off the celebration with singer Dwight Yoakam. This will be the Lethal Weapon star’s first television interview since news of his impending divorce broke. (I wonder if he will be addressing rumors his girlfriend’s pregnancy?)

Eco-Friendly Pimp My Ride

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Reality, Cable

A special Earth Day episode of MTV’s Pimp My Ride will feature California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and an eco-friendly car makeover. If you’ve never caught this show, they makeover cars, and I guess I don’t really “get” it. Then again, I’m not a guy. At any rate, I give them credit for trying to raise awareness about the environment and the use of biodiesel/alternative fuel. And this can be an effective way to reach people in a different way. You can catch the episode on April 22nd at 1 p.m., where the crew makeover a 1965 Chevrolet Impala. Sweet. Schwarzenegger was pleased with the episode, saying, “I would like to thank MTV and the entire Pimp My Ride crew for shining the spotlight on the importance of alternative fuels and the fight against global warming. I am pleased that the power of MTV’s message will reach an audience throughout California and the nation to reinforce the benefits of alternative-fuel vehicles and protecting our environment.”
