Senator Scott Brown told Lesley Stahl of "60 Minutes" that he was sexually abused as a 10-year old by a camp counselor. Brown's comments are part of an interview, airing Sunday, to publicize his new book "Against All Odds." He was also physical abused by his stepfathers, he said. Brown hid it from everyone, even his mother. "That's what happens when you're a victim. You're embarrassed. You're hurt," he said. Brown said the counselor touched him and forced Brown to touch the counselor, and said the counselor threatened to kill him to keep him quiet. He said "nothing was ever fully consummated." [Globe]

NBC reportedly told TMZ.com that Conan O'Brien lied to "60 Minutes" during his interview Sunday. NBC claimed Conan fibbed about not knowing his "Tonight Show" was losing money, and was wrong about Jay Leno having a bigger buyout.

The paths of Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno crossed again this weekend as the two comedians/hosts each made prominent public appearences. The "coincidence" begs the question: What is the difference between Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien? One is Jay Leno and the other is funny.
Conan O'Brien's anticipated "60 Minutes" interview happened on Sunday. We assume you watched it, or read about it. Conan appeared quite at ease with himself and his peculiar looking beard. You've seen his hair so you shouldn't be surprised he rocks a crazy facial 'do.
We're totally on Team Conan in the O'Brien–Leno feud of late, maybe because we're insufferably white. 60 Minutes has a big interview with Conan coming up on Sunday, and released an excerpt in which O'Brien calls out the way Leno laid down for NBC and did whatever the network wanted.

Maybe some voters in Iowa had a tough decision to make; not so the AP NFL Coach of the Year voters, who swept Bill Belichick into the award with 29 out of 50 possible first-place votes. The other 21, we're sure, were dismayed by Spygate (why else vote against a guy whose team didn't lose?), figuring that any coach who had footage of 20 minutes of Jetball had an unfair advantage. Bill, we're sure, took the award, nodded grimly, and went back to work.

The handsome bloc...
With L'Affaire Sharpton, L'Affaire Duck Hunt, and L'Affaire Hair, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is building quite a national reputation. It may not be the reputation he wants, but we think it might be time to start a weekly roundup of Mitt's exploits as he runs for president. --Romney claims that he's found religion – of sorts – when it comes to abortion.
