Finally! A performer who wants a late night talk show who might actually be suitable for the job, Billy Crystal reportedly has his big, setimental sappy, Yankees-loving heart set on Conan O'Brien's job when (and if) Conan takes over for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show in 2009.

Billy, who's already proven his interviewing skills in the guises of Joe Franklin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Fernando, is a natural at the tender, youthful age of 59!

Cyberspace is one place Tyra Banks doesn't have to worry about her fat butt and cottage cheese thighs, so she's moving there today with the official launch of a "virtual studio" attached to her Tyra Banks Show.

Fans can download a free Windows or Mac-compatible application from the Tyra website, then create and customize their own "avatars" to walk around the studio, chat with other users-- and occasionally, Tyra herself, when she shows up as an avatar to interact with fans.

Like today! Tyra will be making an appearance in the virtual studio from 3 to 5 pm EST (6- 8pm PST). It's a "swimsuit party," celebrating Tyra, of course, and her Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover ten years and thirty pounds ago. "I was the first African-American model to ever land the cover of that magazine," she notes on her website. "As we celebrate Black History Month this February, I can't help but be proud of what I accomplished a decade ago."
