[HMG] – For those feeling deprived by their late-night lack of Coco, we have good news – Conan O’Brien has just announced a 30-date nationwide tour.

Beginning on April 12 and featuring both Conan and late-night foil Andy Richter, “The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour” will open in Eugene, Oregon and go on to brighten thirty different cities in both the US and Canada.

Temptingly billed as “A night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence,” the first news of the upcoming party was announced by Conan himself via Twitter;

“Hey, Internet: I’m headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour…I repeat: It’s half-assed, “ he tweeted.

Under the terms of his recent eviction Conan is forbidden to appear on TV until September at least. But he seems pretty sure he’s made the right choice;

“It was either a massive 30-city tour or start helping out around the house” O’Brien explained in a press release.

And after being almost silent since he joined the service on February 24, Conan’s Twitter feed is now buzzing with news of the tour and the extra dates being added to cope with demand.

“Good news: Just added second shows in San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, and LA. Bad news: Still no show in Guam. “ he just tweeted to his feathery fan-base of over 600,000.

But there will be some bitter memories – The LA Times says the tour is booked to stop at Universal Studios on April 25 — On the very same lot as the $25-million studio where he hosted the show.  Also apparently O’Brien isn’t making a single cent off this comedy tour as sources tell TMZ that CoCo is doing the whole thing so he can employ his former “Tonight Show” staff. Roughly 40 people have been hired to work on the production — many of whom are “Tonight Show” alums.

If you fancy some tickets – and you’ll need to move quick – TeamCoco.com is now sharing them out…

[HMG] – In the first of what may sadly be several interviews given by people Corey Haim barely knew, reality actress Daisy De La Hoya says Corey’s death must have been accidental.

Claimed by some…okay, mostly herself…to have been dating Corey when he passed away early Wednesday, the 26-year old actress took to Twitter this morning to manage her grief.

“I’m sooooooo devastated right now,” she told her four feathery fans. “This is the worst day ever. I can’t believe this.”

Introduced to the 38-year old actor three weeks ago by his friend, Corey Feldman, La Hoya says she and Haim had ‘an amazing connection’ and were even building a romantic bond.

“We just connected straight away;” she tells Radar. “I recognized that he was a lost soul, we had the same behavior patterns, we had a lot in common.”

In fact their bond was so strong she hadn’t even seen Corey in over two weeks. But why let mere dates and good taste stop a paid photo-shoot? The lady continues;

“Corey was looking forward to the future, he was making plans,” she recalls. “He had a movie coming up and he was talking about directing. I can’t believe he’d have done this on purpose, it had to be an accident.”

And a friend of the loosely-linked pair tells reporters Daisy seemed almost concerned.

“Daisy knew Corey was doing a lot of drugs,” says the source. “She thought he was kind and talented, and wanted to rescue him. They were having a lot of fun getting to know each other and seeing what would happen. Corey told Daisy she was a beautiful person with a beautiful heart.”

And a tissue nearby in case there were cameras.

But when you’re the niece of the talented boxer, Oscar De La Hoya you learn a few moves, and Daisy soon goes in for the kill;

“It’s such a tragedy, he was so talented and had so much to offer.” she tells the reporters. “He was a sweet, caring, respectful person who just wanted to be loved.”

Daisy’s only previous claim to fame was as the runner-up on VH1’s tacky dating show, ‘Rock of Love.’ That somehow won her a show of her own – ‘Daisy of Love.’ And it’s purely coincidence that the new season just started production.

Okay, maybe not…

Update: Law enforcement sources have leaked to TMZ, that the four pill bottles retrieved in the apartment of Haim’s mother are hydrocodone (Vicodin), diazepam (Valium), haloperidol (an antipsychotic med) and Soma (a muscle relaxer). TMZ hear’s that all 4 meds were prescribed on the same day by a prominent Los Angeles psychiatrist.  Considering Haim’s prescription medication addictions one might think this could set the stage for an investigation of the dear doctor.

[HMG] – When one national icon takes on another we’re in for some fun. This time Clint Eastwood, whose skills at directing such stars as Angeline Jolie have already won him four Oscars, will examine the legacy of J. Edgar Hoover.

Now drafting the project with that equally skillful director, Ron Howard, 79-year old Clint has hired Dustin Lance Black, the same man whose skills with a typewriter drove Sean Penn to an Oscar.

And Clint’s source material is too rich to believe – Born in Washington D.C on January 1st 1895, John  Edgar Hoover was one of the founders of the FBI, and maintained a stranglehold on his place as its Director from the day it began in 1935 until his own death thirty-seven years later.

In that time the man even those who knew him describe as a borderline-paranoid, right-wing megalomaniac abused this unchallenged position to harass political activists, use illegal wiretaps to spy on the famous, and intimidate, suppress and publicly discredit anyone who disagreed with or delayed him in what he saw as his mission to keep us all safe.

Meanwhile, numerous books have since floated very viable claim that the man was both a closet homosexual and an addicted cross-dresser.

THR reports the new movie is now coming together at the studios of Warners – the same folk who hired Hoover as a consultant for their 1959 movie. “The FBI Story” – which was, unsurprisingly, dismissed as a whitewash.

There’s no date for release, or even a cast yet, but with a subject like Hoover you can bet the media will be all over this film.

We’ll bring you updates as more news arrives…

[HMG] – After playing Sgt. John Munch on NBC’s solid hit, ‘Law and Order,’ actor Richard Belzer almost found himself on the wrong side of justice after an incident at an Apple store in Manhattan.

A store employee, Milan Agnew, 21, claims the 65-year old actor marched into the Upper West side showroom yesterday, grabbed her by the shoulders and barked, ‘I need help.’ The clerk later called 911 and filed a complaint with the NYPD.

Allegedly ‘too upset’ to talk to the press, Agnew drafted her grandma to speak in her place;

“She told me, ‘He didn’t just touch me, he choked me,’ ” Anita McKnight told the News. “My granddaughter is just 5-feet-2 and an aspiring dancer, and she doesn’t have much body to her. Where does this man come off putting his hands on her?”

And despite the fact she only filed a complaint accusing Belzer of ‘harassment’ [a minor violation,] Granny told the press the apparent victim was “angry” the L&A star wasn’t slapped with assault charges by the Police.

Witnesses say Richard was seen pacing up and down by the store for several minutes, clad in his trademark black clothes and dark glasses, and walked in and out of the store three times before the alleged incident occurred.

“If it was one of us, we’d be locked up right now,” says eyewitness, Jonathan Fox.

Officers from the NYPD later questioned the actor, but no charges were brought. Having told them he was “just joking,” the Connecticut-born star was later seen waving to fans and shaking hands with the crowd.

And the ‘aspiring dancer’ blew her fifteen minutes and had to go back to work…

[HMG] – Having used one of the countless interviews for which she was paid to whine at Matt Lauer that she ‘got nothing’ from her affair with Tiger Woods, Jamie Jungers just won $75,000 more ‘nothing’ from Howard Stern.

We reported before that the infamous shock-jock was holding a ‘Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant,’ and this morning the 25-year old former model was declared the stunt’s winner. Jaimee Grubbs, 24, came second and took home $15,000 for being ON in the game, while Loredana Jolie came in third.

Having already found her goldmine as Tiger’s first mistress, Rachel Uchitel, 34, refused to take part.

Jungers, who began her 18-month affair with the golfer while already engaged to another man, won the prize by being able to provide more unflattering, unproven answers to Stern’s prying questions about Wood’s sexual tastes than her competitors had the intellectual depth to remember.

As part of these entirely self-serving and tasteless revelations both Grubbs and Jungers agreed that Tiger used no protection during their encounters, and Jungers once again recycled her unproven claim that she and the sports star even slept together on the night Tiger’s father died.

Quite what Ms. Jungers and her amoral allies have planned as their next move is unsure, but you can bet this tacky gravy train is not over yet…
