The first taste of Slash’s solo project has some fans losing their appetite for destruction. Yesterday the Velvet Revolver guitarist released a Japan-only two-song single featuring Cypress Hill and the Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie on a WTF version of the Guns n’ Roses classic “Paradise City.”

Poor Jimmy! It looks like he may have suffered his first Late Show injury since the show started over one year ago.
Tuesday night, Jimmy Fallon challenged guest and vodka appreciator Chelsea Handler to a martini contest that involved mixing three martinis, running around the studio with them, and then filling beakers with the remainder to see who salvaged the most drink.
While Chelsea raced the studio in sneakers, Fallon, in dress shoes, took a huge spill on the vodka-slicked studio floor.
Jimmy tweeted a photo of his bandages after the show saying "No guts, no glory."
The spill was reminiscent of the hard fall former Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien took when racing Teri Hatcher around the studio in wet suits (video below).

"I think I just made it out the 'thousandaire' category. So it's about what I would do with the money and, the same time, it opens up the question, if you were in a position to do something with a decent chunk of money, what would you do?"
