Bell Biv DeVoe Reunion on Jimmy Fallon Sparks Twitter Buzz [VIDEOS]

Jimmy Fallon is scoring all the hot acts these days. Less than a week after sending the underground hip-hop ensemble Odd Future on a viral tear, Fallon is now generating another wave of Internet buzz landing a reunion of '90s R&B trio Bell Biv DeVoe for Wednesday night's show.

Joan Rivers' Go Daddy Ad a Smash: The Comedian's Top 5 Reinventions [VIDEOS]

Wonder how many women actually write some of the stuff Letterman, Jay Leno or Conan O'Brien say? Scovell says there are none. Sexual harassment is a universally understood offense, but so is unequal opportunity. Competent women should have the same chance to nab the job in any industry, just like capable men. But Scovell alleges that women rarely get that equal shot to compete and win jobs on Letterman's ...
