The big battle going down on late night TV right now is Jay Leno vs Conan O’Brien. In 1992, Johnny Carson said goodbye to a faithful audience that had watched him for 30 years. Jay Leno hosted the Tonight Show

for only 17 years before handing the reins over to Conan O’Brien last may.

NBC and television and media in general are in a crisis. With the internet and free content giving people ACTUAL OBJECTIVE OPINIONS, big media can’t compete with their current business model. It seems an attempt to boost ratings to bring Jay Leno back.. Inevitably, this means either giving Conan O’Brien the boot or pushing him to a much less desired time slot.

Many are saying that Jay Leno is screwing over Conan O’Brien, and in this situation I’d have to agree. Jay left the tonight show to pursue a new original show on another network. Whether his ratings are down, he’s not getting paid enough, or his new show just doesn’t have the ring “The Tonight Show” has, Jay is trying to take back the pokemon card he fairly traded to Conan.

The debate rages on inside NBC and between Conan and Jay… but we want to know what you think! Who should host The Tonight Show, Jay Leno or Conan O’Brien? Which host would you rather watch?

Conan or Leno?

Jay Leno had this to say about the dilemma:

“”There’s never been any tension between Conan and (me). Between the network? Yeah, probably a little bit. But, look, Conan is my friend. We’ve been friends a long time. Do you know something? American television, it’s football. Whoever controls the ball controls the game. When you play, that’s how you play. Somebody asked, will there be booking wars between you and Conan? No. Will we fight like cats and dogs to book guests? Yes. I mean, I have to go to my General Motors analogy. When General Motors had separate divisions like Buick and Oldsmobile and they each made their own engine, that’s when those companies were strong, because Buick would come out with something and Oldsmobile would go, ‘We’ve got to come out with a motor, bigger, stronger, faster.’ And then they would come out with something, and they would be the leader. Then Cadillac would come in. Each one developed their stuff under the same umbrella, and it was a strong company that had 72 per cent of the market.” -vancouversun

Can the media take a real public icon and bring her to her knees? Maybe others will succumb, but never Madonna. Celebrity adoptions in the news, marriages on the rocks, divorce: the media can play up on every small detail, making the life of our entertainment icons come to life, but not always in a positive way.

One of the most popular performers of our time, Madonna rises above the trivia printed in the press and stands true to her goals. A celebrity often feels the need to compromise their goals for fear of their career being harmed, but Madonna has used her fame in order to strengthen her goals and bring assistance to those most needy.

Born Madonna Louise Ciccone, she went to school on a dance scholarship, finally moving to New York City to search for those who could help her in her career. Music was her savior and got her through the tough times. Now that same music is getting others through their tough times.

What are some of the things Madonna has accomplished? She is currently directing a movie in London, her first, called Filth and Wisdom, a thirty-minute comedy by report. And Madonna’s music gets acclaim the world over. “Music” was the most successful single in 2000 and won multiple awards. Her album charts show 17 releases with six making #1 and five making #2. In 20 years she won numerous awards, including American Music Awards, International Dance Music Awards and a number of Grammies. Nominations were legion. MTV Video awards fill her shelves.

But besides innumerable DVDs and Videos, CD sales in the clouds, Madonna has worked to help the planet and the people on it. “The Material Girl” has spent countless hours donated to charities aimed at resolving important issues. She has donated many dollars from the sales of her music to fight the war against AIDs. When her new song, “Hey You” was downloadable on Microsoft’s Home page, Microsoft pledged 25 cents per download for the first million, donating the money to the Alliance for Climate Protection, one of Madonna’s key concerns. She takes part in the call to action in combating Planet Earth’s climate crisis.

Madonna doesn’t just limit herself only to speaking out on issues of concern. She has taken the care of African orphans to heart with the adoption of a Malawi infant, David Banda. Busy with her celebrity projects, she is never too busy to go out there and make a difference.

Of course, the media has to come into play. Attacks proliferate. Her adoption of the baby came under attack and was challenged by an organization in Africa, quoting rules and concerns, making it seem a bad thing to adopt. Madonna commented on it on the Oprah Winfrey show, “The media is doing a great disservice to all the orphans of Africa, period, not just Malawi, by turning it into such a negative thing.” She had found herself drawn to the boy. He survived malaria and tuberculosis and still had pneumonia, and she wanted to ensure he got treatment right away. The baby’s birth father supports Madonna’s adoption, knowing the child had no future without her.

Yes, the media can make a circus of any life, with gossip about failing marriage “heating up,” but who is fanning the flames? It’s been reported for years of strain and trouble in her marriage to Guy Richie, but what has come of it? Nothing. They’ve been together for years, now raising an infant together.

Being a celebrity isn’t just about entertaining the American public and Madonna has proven this time and time again. Her celebrity has enabled her to drive home important messages. More importantly, it has enabled her to take effective action to change conditions in our world.

Like all celebrities everywhere, she must deal with the media, the gossip, the turning of some common real-life incident into a crisis. But it’s bound to happen, and she will deal with it better than most, because she has the stamina and the integrity of her goals to do it. Yes, our true American Idol.

These games are installed at so many places like restaurants, play parks, casinos, and amusement parks and gaming houses. The most common and easily found type of arcade game looks something fixed in tall wooden boxes with control buttons and levers in front of the box and a screen to see and play. Usually, the coins which are needed to run the games are purchased from the arcade game houses and it does not even cost much as compared to the excitement and entertainment they provide. Arcade games have many positive effects on children but like other things, it has its own share of negative aspects too.
Studies recommend that children should play games daily but not more than two to three hours. Remember that spending whole day in playing arcade games may affect their social life and academic performance. The genre of the games which a child plays is of utmost importance. Parents should keep an eye on their child and should know whether their child is playing games which are recommended for his age or not? Parents should check the ratings before they purchase a game for their kids. As we know that most of the games contain violent actions due to which the increase of aggression in children is noticed. This is also complained by large number of parents world wide. Parent should let their children play only those arcade games which are not appropriate for their young immature minds.
The time children spend playing arcade games can have direct effects on their academic performance. As children when becomes addict of any game, they never bother to do the home work and quit hobbies and refrain themselves from family and friends just to play their favorite games. As a result, their grades and performance in schools get affected which is surely not acceptable in this competing world. As children become obsessed with these arcade games, they get more and more into it. They prefer to play games rather eating healthy food and playing out doors due to which the health and activeness of child suffer adverse effects.
Studies show that children who pass most of their time in playing video games usually develop behavior which is often anti-social. Of course no parents would want such behaviors in their children and therefore, a check from parents’ side is a must. Parents can lemmatize the time of playing games and engage them in other healthy activities such as swimming and playing out doors. Arcade games have their share of positive effects on children too. They give children a chance to interact with each other and work as team and to understand each other. With the help of these games children learn to follow the rules by giving turns and solve the problems with logic and creativity.

You may wonder how overnight fame brings changes in life of an Ohio homeless person who was not known by anyone and now he is in news almost every single day. Ted Williams emerged on the scene with his “quality of voice” and now gaining fame day-by-day but he was in bit of trouble Monday night when Los Angeles Police Department detained Williams and his daughter, Janey. According to multiple reports police were called at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel & Spa where a man was involved in a heated argument with a woman. Later on police identified the man as Ted Williams and the woman as his daughter, both were taken to the police station for further investigation but they were allowed to walk away without any charges on them because they didn’t commit any crime, according to police officer Catherine Massey.
However, according to some reports father and daughter were involved in a physical battle and Williams suffered scratches on his face. Janey claimed his father used some “obnoxious words about her” and that was the point when she lost her temper and on the other side new internet sensation Mr. Williams says it was nothing but a misunderstanding that caused both of us to face humiliating time in front of number of people at the hotel. This time they got lucky to escape from facing charges but at least Williams now need to be careful with his attitude and life style so that he can forget his miserable past and build his new and clean image. MSNBC gives job to Williams just few days back where he will provide voiceovers for the network. Williams suffered bad time due to his excessive drug and alcohol use and now he is receiving great opportunities to do something good for his family and in my opinion he should just concentrate on his voice-over duties and nothing else.
