We can expect a lot of mash-ups and clever edits with ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ trailer that debuted last month. We’ve seen one with cats, and now there’s a new one, which combines scenes from the classic Disney film ‘The Lion King’ with the audio from the trailer for the next Batman flick. It’s a mash-up that somehow manages to be both scary and…adorable!

It’s celebrity week on ‘The Price is Right,’ and the first celebrity trying to help the contestants win fabulous cash and prizes is…Snoop Dogg! And Snoop must be a fan of the show because he actually did pretty darn well.

Every year, the folks over at JibJab give us an animated year in review, and they’ve done it again for 2011. You’ll find a lot of 2011′s top newsmakers and stories in the clip below, including (deep breath) Charlie Sheen, Herman Cain, Lindsey Lohan, Dr. Conrad Murray, Arnold’s Schwarzenegger’s love child, unemployment, Anthony Weiner, Rupert Murdoch, the Japan earthquake and non-gay Bert and Ernie

It seems like we’ve been teased forever when it comes to the Christopher Nolan’s third and final ‘Batman’ movie, but that’s all over this week as the official trailer for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ has hit the web!

One of the great holiday memories from the ‘Saturday Night Live’ of the 1990s is the ‘I Wish It Was Christmas Today” song that Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan, Chris Kattan and Horatio Sanz used to perform. This year, our holiday wished came true and we got to see it again last night when Fallon hosted the show.

Paris Jackson was the guest on today’s episode of ‘Ellen.’ It’s the first solo interview for Jackson, who has her first acting role in the upcoming movie ‘Lundon’s Bridge and the Three Keys.’ In a revealing interview, Paris opens up about what it was like being Michael Jackson’s daughter, what he thought of her going into acting and how she didn’t really understand how famous he actually was.

‘Two and a Half Men’ creator/producer Chuck Lorre says he shut down ‘Two and a Half Men’ several months ago to save star Charlie Sheen’s life.

Now that he’s bid farewell to ‘Live with Regis and Kelly,’ everyone is wondering what Regis Philbin’s next move is going to be. Well, he revealed his new show on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ last night, and his costar is someone you might know and love. Well, maybe “love” is too strong a word, but Butt-Head of ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ fame would certainly make for an interesting partner for Regis.

Confused, lying musicians Garth and Kat made another appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ last night to promote their Thanksgiving album. Fortunately, this time they weren’t alone. Their “backup singer” Chris Martin of Coldplay came out as their Hail Mary act to save them from scrutiny.

You know that George Clooney gets more ladies than you do, right? Well, it turns out he’s had the swagger for some time now. In an extensive interview for the new Rolling Stone issue, Clooney reveals that he lost his virginity at the age of 16. However, he admits it may have been too early, saying he was “young, very young, too young,” though a lot of guys might disagree.

This must be the week for late night talk show hosts disguising themselves. First we had Conan outside of ‘Today,’ and now we have Stephen Colbert at Occupy Wall Street. The ‘Colbert Report’ host dressed as revolutionary Che Guevara and went to the protest location earlier this week.

‘Conan’ is usually funny-funny, but last night he was funny-serious, as the host officated a wedding between his costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein for his final show in New York City. The touching union also made late-night TV history.
