The Roots To Be.....

'Critically-acclaimed, Grammy-winning band The Roots will be Jimmy Fallon's house band when "Late Night" makes its broadcast debut. Named one of the "20 Greatest Live Acts in the World" by Rolling Stone, The Roots will bring their eclectic hip-hop sound to the new "Late Night."'

That's right....as I previously mentioned (see Rumor Has It --Nov. 22) and as you see above, it has officially been announced....The Roots will become the house band for "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon". The show is scheduled to debut on Monday, March 2, 2009 at 12:35/11:35c.

Rumor Has It.....

There is a rumor going around that Hip-Hop band, The Roots will retire from touring and become the house band for 'Late Night' once Jimmy Fallon takes over. Currently they are on tour in Europe. Whether this is true or not....depends on the article about the subject you read. Guess we will not know until the show begins taping.

Don Cornelius Busted.

Apparently Don Cornelius, former host of "Soul Train", was arrested the night of October 17.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a "domestic dispute" call from Cornelius' home on Mulholland Drive earlier that night. Shortly thereafter they arrested the 72-year-old Cornelius on charges of domestic violence.

Cornelius was taken to the LAPD jain in Van Nuys and bail was set at $50,000. He was released early morning Oct. 18.

Cornelius is married however the victims identity was not revealed. There is no report of injury or if the victim had gone to the hospital.
