Hello again to Jay Leno, back as ‘Tonight’ host
NEW YORK — Jay Leno was absent from the nation’s TV screens for little more than three weeks, but he’s returning tonight with renewed purpose.
Leno will be reclaiming his old job at NBC’s “Tonight Show” just nine months after giving it up to Conan O’Brien, and only 19 days after NBC pulled the plug on Leno’s own prime-time misadventure.
Now the late-night war resumes between Leno and his longtime CBS opponent David Letterman, who gai

PARK CITY, Utah — Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival is always aiming to discover new talent — and letting established talent try something different.
The nation’s premiere showcase for independent cinema, the festival opens Thursday, loaded with A-list actors from hit TV shows and big studio flicks branching out to low-budgeted films, whether on-screen, behind the camera or both.

Simon Cowell says he’s leaving ‘Idol’
PASADENA, Calif. — Simon Cowell, the acerbic Brit who has helped give “American Idol” some of its sharpest — and nastiest — moments, will leave the popular singing show after this season.
The cantankerous judge said that “The X Factor,” a show he created and is a hit in Britain, will join Fox’s schedule next year. Cowell will be on “The X Factor.”
Cowell’s decision is the biggest threat yet to what has been the cou

The Riff Report: New music this week
The early part of January is traditionally a no-man’s land for new releases, and this year is no exception. Jan. 26 looks to be jam-packed, at least on the indie front, with new records by the Magnetic Fields, Beach House, Four Tet, Los Campesinos!, Retribution Gospel Choir and more slated to drop. January 12th is all about one group, though — the blog-band heartthrobs, Vampire Weekend.

LOS ANGELES — Jeff Zucker was a fearless news producer and fast-rising entertainment executive who was just 41 when he became head of NBC Universal.
