Meet the Trololololo guy -- you'll *never* forget him


Colbert Still reeling from YouTube's momentary fail on the original Rickrolling link? It's fixed, we swear, but we're also pleased to report the presence of an understudy waiting in the wings: the Trololololo Guy.

Imagine if Lawrence Welk and the Geico Caveman had a baby. And then the baby lip-synched. '70s style. And then it showed up on Stephen Colbert's show.

Dare you not to watch -- it's the high-speed freeway chase of music videos.

But in case you can't, here's a play-by-play on the performance by singer  Edward Anatolevich Hill, from Nick Douglas over at Urlesque:

'SNL' star Kristen Wiig gets goofy glam for V magazine

104 KRISTEN WIIG2
"Saturday Night Live" favorite Kristen Wiig can get glam with the best of them -- just expect mucho funny business.

Wiig begs to differ.

'Remember Me': Robert Pattinson makes Fallon swoon, Kristen Stewart walks the red carpet [photo gallery]

Remember trio As if Robert Pattinson would lose his touch -- despite the lull in "Twilight Saga" chapters to promote, the British heartthrob has his Summit romance "Remember Me" premiering, and Jimmy Fallon has proved incapable of resisting the actor.

Pattinson stopped by Fallon's late-night couch to talk about his newest film and his musical talents and even field a question off Twitter. The comic gushed throughout regarding Rob's "fantastic" performance in the drama alongside Emilie de Ravin.

Pattinson taped his appearance earlier in the day Monday (watch it here), also stopping by the "Today" show. Monday night, he swung by the Paris Theatre in New York City for the premiere of "Remember Me."

Lo and behold, his "Twilight" costar and incessantly rumored love interest Kristen Stewart made an appearance too. The 19-year-old actress played it casual in embroidered pants and a leather bomber jacket.

Stewart quick-changed into jeans for the after-party at the Plaza hotel, where Rob's mom and his sis Lizzy were also among the guests -- and where the "Remember Me" star got a bit more rumpled.

Click on the picture above to launch a photo gallery from the "Remember Me" red carpet, and then let the speculation begin! It's a given that Summit would ask its talent stable to cross-promote films, and we know Pattinson and Stewart are fond of casual encounters. Sound off in comments.

Conan O'Brien's after-party details: Irish wake for his final 'Tonight Show'



Conan out Looks like the Sundance Film Festival can't take all the celeb glory this weekend -- I've just learned that Conan O'Brien threw an epic after-party on Friday night for his final turn at hosting "The Tonight Show." So epic, in fact, the theme was a traditional Irish wake.

Jameson Irish whiskey and ginger ale flowed for hours on L.A.'s Universal City set, where O'Brien toasted loud and long with cohorts Andy Richter, musical director Max Weinberg and the show's band, including  trombonist Richie "LaBamba" Rosenberg, as well as more than 200 crew wearing "Team Conan" and "I'm with Coco" shirts.   

"We didn't rehearse today because we don't care. We've all been drinking," O'Brien joked during the show ...

'Pants on the Ground': Jimmy Fallon's 'Neil Young' unplugged version


"I have a horrible feeling that song could be a hit." — Simon Cowell

On Thursday night, "Neil Young," as portrayed by Jimmy Fallon on his late-night show, spun up a classic acoustic interpretation of "Pants on the Ground."

For those of you who've been living in a box or reading the classics, that's Larry Platt's original composition from his "audition" Wednesday night on "American Idol" — the tune that for whatever reason struck a national nerve (at least, as judge Randy Jackson pointed out, with people who wear belts). 

The world moves fast anymore: It took only a day for "Pants" to evolve from 62-year-old Platt's rap number to Fallon's plaintive acoustic paean to the days of yore, when belts were belts and butts fell below the waistline.

Fallon, for the record, did not dance.

Revisit Platt's original rendition with the video embedded after the jump. And yes, the Ministry laughed too.
