Celebrity gossip round-up
Taye Diggs' TV luck may have just changed for the better. While his two most recent shows, Day Break and Kevin Hill, were cancelled in their first seasons, that probably won't happen to his next series foray -- a Grey's Anatomy spin-off. Diggs will guest star on an expanded Grey's Anatomy episode in May that'll be used as a launching pad for the new series. He's guest starred on the show before, but this appearance will reportedly set him up to move to the spin-off revolving around Kate Walsh's character, Dr. Addison Shepherd.
Clint Eastwood hasn't ever played the President of the United States, but he'd have his shot if Hollywood ran America. That's the conclusion of a Fox News poll that gave 900 registered voters the choice of picking either Eastwood, Oprah Winfrey, Sean Penn, Barbra Streisand, Mel Gibson or Angelina Jolie as head of state. The former Carmel mayor took 32 percent of the vote, with Oprah a close second at 30 percent. Gibson ran a distant third with nine percent, followed by Jolie, Penn, and Streisand.
Is Jimmy Fallon being groomed to take over Conan O'Brien's late night gig when he moves to the Tonight Show in 2009? Possibly, according to a New York Times article that says Fallon is close to signing a holding deal with NBC that would bind him exclusively to the network. NBC could then, in theory, start grooming the former Saturday Night Live star for O'Brien's job.
Donald Trump wants to be buried in New Jersey. He told the state's Star-Ledger of Newark that he's getting permission to build a chapel on his Trump National Golf Club which he'll later convert into a mausoleum for himself and his family.
And speaking of Trump, word is he didn't want Nancy O'Dell axed as host of next month's Miss USA beauty pageant because he doesn't like how pregnant women look. O'Dell will be six months along when the contest happens on March 23rd. She's been mistress of ceremonies of the event for the past three years.
