Conan bares butt; 'DWTS' cuts Kurt; Sexiest athlete

Conan's four seconds and more: Conan O'Brien's debut drew something like 4.15 million viewers. The show beat out Jay Leno (3.5 million), David Letterman (3.4 million), Jon Stewart (1.3 million) and Stephen Colbert (1.3 million). Conan celebrated with a "Thank You" Twitter update. Last night, he worked to keep on top with Tom Hanks (who endured a drenching practical joke), Jack McBrayer and Soundgarden. During the show, he also had a talk with his TBS censor. Apparently, he can show his buttocks for four seconds before being censored. The bit brought us plenty of euphemisms for private parts, including "Tokyo Sandblaster." Watch (WARNING! Buttocks on display!! And a few bleeps.):

Good-bye, Kurt: "Dancing With the Stars" cut Kurt Warner last night. The big news here: The former quarterback took the loss like a true gentleman, later saying, "I learned a long time ago that life isn't always about winning and losing competitions, but it's about relationships, it's about impacting people." But can he make you laugh? That is the question.

Swift wins: Taylor Swift was honored with the country songwriter of the year prize at the BMI Awards in Nashville last night. She's the youngest recipient of the prize ever. Will her domination ever end?

Sexiest female athlete: Italian skydiver Roberta Mancino recently won Men's Fitness Sexiest Woman in Sports poll. Maybe this aside from CBS News is why: "Besides jumping out of planes, sometimes nude, the 30-year-old has also jettisoned her clothes for shoots with Playboy and Max magazine." Couldn't hurt, right?

Nude "family" photo: Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr is showing off her naked and pregnant curves in the December issue of W Magazine. (WARNING! Careful with that link. You will see breasts.) The rest of the gallery features clothed celebs with their fams. Worth a peek.

Lovato with a chance of Lohan: Seems "Sonny with a Chance" star Demi Lovato can't handle the teen star pressure. Demi entered rehab last week, reportedly for some drinking and drug use issues. Maybe her role in "Camp Rock" took her over the edge. Who knows?

Mayer's married lover: Word is John Mayer has a new lover, Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis. It seems, however, she may already be involved with someone ... seeing as she is already married. Hello.

Glee's gay smooch: "Glee" shared its first gay kiss last night. (WARNING! The previous link could lead to a spolier.)

Got big breasts? Seems Gloria Allred may be your hero, especially if you've ever been told you had to cover them during a business meeting. She's holding a news conference today to announce a suit she's filing against a company for just that kind of sexist thing.

ShowBiz Minute: Taylor Swift named BMI songwriter of the year; Tina Fey thanks Palin for success; Kurt Warner thrown off of 'DWTS.'
