Replace

Conan O’Brien to be Replaced by Seinfeld !?!

According to Entertainment Weekly, this year The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien had its lowest November ratings in 15 years, losing 52% of its viewership as opposed to last year since O’Brien took over for Jay Leno. Could NBC possibly be changing it up if the ratings continue to fall? Apparently so, as rumors are circulating that NBC is reportedly looking for a replacement, beginning informal talks to find a new late night funny man for the time slot.

Per Popeater:

“NBC just can’t carry on like this. ‘The Tonight Show’ has lost 52 percent of its viewership in just one year. The November ratings will be the show’s lowest in 15 years. They would be idiots to not be having the replacement conversation,” a source tells me.

Insiders are saying the one man on top of everyone’s wish list is Jerry Seinfeld. However, getting him to commit is another thing, and that seems to be a longshot. Conan’s people are vehemently denying the speculation.

“Completely false. There are no conversations happening. Conan is the host of the ‘Tonight Show.”

Sounds to me like someones in denial.

Robert Pattinson to Replace Johnny Depp in Next ‘Pirates of the Caribbean!?!’

Okay ladies, now would be the time to grab your paper bags for the panic attacks you’re about to experience! Rumor has it that Johnny Depp could be on his way out of the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. The recent exit of Disney studio chief Dick Cook has left Depp so upset, according to MTV, that he no longer cares to continue to play Captain Jack Sparrow.

Depp is already signed up for the the next installment, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and the studio had planned to give the greenlight to a 5th and 6th installment as well. However, with the talk that Johnny might not be returning to the franchise, the studio is preparing to replace him if and when he decides to bow out of playing the character. This most likely wouldn’t happen until the 5th movie, so Disney is prepared to offer him as much money as it takes to keep him for the 4th.

The idea is to continue making the flicks with different pirate characters with big actor names to back them. Some of the names being tossed around are James Franco, Ryan Gosling, and Robert Pattinson. The rumored story for the 4th movie involves a pirate’s search for the elusive Fountain of Youth. The story makes room for a younger newcomer, a character who is said to help the pirates in their search for the mythic location.

While this could end up Orlando Bloom’s role in the next movie, it seems possible that Disney just could use that character instead as a replacement for Jack Sparrow. Pattinson was once being considered for a role as Sparrow’s brother (read about Disney hunting Robert Pattinson by clicking here.) Could he step up and be Jack himself?
