'BIG RUSS' DIES: The father of the late Tim Russert died last Thursday (September 24th) at the age of 85 of natural causes. The elder Russert, known as "Big Russ," was made famous by his son's best-selling 2004 book, Big Russ & Me, about the lessons the journalist learned from his father.


Conan O'Brien is expected to return to work today (Monday, September 28th) after hitting his head on Friday (September 25th) during a Tonight Show stunt. The Associated Press reports that he's resting comfortably at home. O'Brien fell during a skit being taped for for Friday's episode and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. A source tells E! News that the talk show host was running down a flight of stairs when he slipped and banged his head, reportedly resulting in a concussion. O'Brien said, "Last thing I remember I was enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln, and the next thing I knew I was in bed being served cookies and juice." Actress Teri Hatcher, who was on the set as a guest that day, said, "We did this bit and at the very end, when we ran in to cross the finish line, he slipped as he was crossing the finish line and hit his head. He didn't get off the floor right away, but then he [seemed] like he recovered and [pulled] it together, and they did an instant replay, and you could really see his head hit the floor." She added, "He did go to the hospital and he does have a concussion."




Redmond O'Neal was released from a California jail on Thursday (September 24th) and transferred to an in-patient drug rehab facility. Judge Jane Godfrey of Los Angeles Superior Court, who sent O'Neal to the treatment center, said the 24-year-old is "doing extremely well."

His attorney told People magazine, "Redmond has embraced recovery. All of his reports are extremely positive. He has taken huge steps towards his new life. This has been a very challenging time for Redmond. He lost his mother while in recovery. He loved his mother dearly and that was extremely hard on him. It would be challenging for anybody, much less a 24-year-old coming to grips with his addiction and recovery."
