Naked Pianist Proud of His Organ
By Chris Epting - AOL NewsOn a dusty stretch of I-10 in Arizona, near the California border, sits the tiny town of Quartzsite. It's a mecca for RV snowbirds along with gem and mineral rock hounders. But there's another attraction along the main strip that's fascinated folks for more than 20 years: the Reader's Oasis bookstore. Why is it so popular? Well, it might be the thousands of rare, interesting, well-priced books and magazines crammed into every bit of spare space. Then again, it might be the bookseller himself, a rail-thin, leather-tanned storyteller named Paul Winer. Chris Epting for AOL ...
Bill Maher on Giffords Shooting: 'NRA Should Just Change Their Name to Assassin's Lobby' [VIDEO]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsBill Maher made a memorable appearance on "The Tonight Show" Tuesday night, telling Jay Leno that the National Rifle Association "should just change their name to the Assassin's Lobby." Maher went on to say that he was "tired of hearing about the Second Amendment. If you love guns, just admit it, it's like a vice. It's like alcohol or drugs or sex addiction or gambling." The remarks came after Leno asked the "Real Time" host for his take on the recent Tucson, Ariz., shootings. "Tonight Show" audience members didn't seem to know how to react, exactly. In the clip below you can hear some very ...
Did Coco Live Up to the Hype? Critics Weigh In on 'Conan'
By J. Richard - AOL News(Nov. 9) -- Critics are divided after weighing in on last night's highly anticipated premiere of "Conan" on TBS, during which the scorned Conan O'Brien hoped to relaunch his late-night career after being ousted from his gig on "The Tonight Show" in January. O'Brien fell back on much of the self-deprecating humor that endeared him to the public during his tenure at NBC, when he battled former "The Tonight Show" host Jay Leno for the coveted role of host. Citing the abysmal ratings for "The Jay Leno Show," Leno's ill-fated venture into prime time, NBC sacked O'Brien and re-installed Leno as ...

Prime-Time Experiment Blows Up in NBC's Face
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Jan. 11) -- Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien started taking jabs at NBC in their monologues late last week as rumors about their fate swirled. Now that the network has decided to drop Leno's prime-time show, it will be interesting to see how the comics play the news for laughs. A revolt among affiliate stations unhappy with the weak lead-in the 10 p.m. "Jay Leno Show" was giving their local newscasts forced the network's hand -- even though NBC Universal Television Entertainment Chairman Jeff Gaspin had hoped to give the program a full year to build an audience. Leno's show, which debuted in ...

Afterward, it was Palin's turn to read from Shatner's autobiography, "Up Till Now." The former Alaska ...

The Ron Paul Juggernaut

Texas congressman Ron Paul has set a new GOP single-day fundraising record. In a 24-hour period Mr. Paul raised $4.2 Million dollars through on-line donations.
