With award season upon us — and the whole Leno-Conan fiasco finally winding down — we thought it fitting to acknowledge a few of the biggest bungles in modern showbiz history. No offense, Coco.

TV

Back in 1993, long before NBC moved Leno to prime time, Chevy Chase tried his hand at late-night. Fox’s “The Chevy Chase Show” lasted just five weeks before being canceled. At least Conan made it seven months.

Movie

2000’s Scientology epic, “Battlefield Earth,” cost $73 million to make, but earned just over $20 million at the box office. We thought John Travolta’s dreads were to blame until the Na’vi pulled ‘em off in “Avatar.”

Music

Earlier this month, “The Hills” star Heidi Montag released her debut album “Superficial,” which cost $2 million to make. Despite Montag’s prediction that the album would outsell Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” “Superficial” has sold less than 1,000 copies. Ouch. Good luck paying off all 10 plastic surgery procedures.

CHATTER

Uh-oh: President Barack Obama shirked jury duty this week because he has to deliver the State of the Union address. Can we borrow that excuse?

Eek! Senator-elect Scott Brown announced during his victory speech last week that his daughters are available for dates. In related news, former senator John Edwards’ daughter is available for play dates.

WTF? Willie Aames, the twice-bankrupt star of “Eight is Enough” and VH1’s “Broke and Famous,” has established a new career as a financial advisor with Overland Park-based Waddell & Reed. Hope he’s better with other people’s money.

Ooh! Friday’s celeb-studded Hope for Haiti Now telethon has raised more than $61 million. Now if we could just get some disaster relief for Brett Favre.

Huh? Burger King says it will serve beer in select locations. “Would you like booze with that?”

Eww: A television star allegedly grabbed soccer stud David Beckham’s crotch during a recent press appearance. Does Andy Dick have an alibi?
