The show must go on ... sources tell TMZ after Conan O'Brien banged his head while taping "The Tonight Show" this afternoon, he never stopped cracking jokes ... not even when he was being transported to the hospital.
Conan's injury occurred while he was filming a skit for tonight's show, our sources say he was transported by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Since Conan was unable to finish taping, NBC told us they're going to air a repeat.
UPDATE: An NBC spokesman tells us, "Conan is resting comfortably at home. He is expected to return to work on Monday."

John Travolta just testified about the moment he was told his 16-year-old son had passed away.
Travolta told the court this afternoon that sometime after he and his wife Kelly Preston arrived at the hospital, they were told Jett was "not alive."
John said he and Kelly were in the ambulance with Jett on the way to the hospital -- while emergency workers tried to revive his son.
Travolta is finished testifying for the day -- he's expected to return to the stand tomorrow.

He's presumably the last person to ever see Michael Jackson alive -- Dr. Conrad Murray.
We've obtained this photo of Jackson's live-in doctor -- who unsuccessfully performed CPR on the King of Pop before the ambulance showed up.
UPDATE: LAPD just announced they still have not spoken to the elusive doctor. Also, the reason they towed Murray's car from MJ's house last night is because "it might contain evidence."

A bus full of tourists thought they were driving up a fancy street to look at Michael Jackson's front gate. Instead, they witnessed the last moments of Michael Jackson's life.
Thirteen stunned people aboard a Starline Tours bus saw the King of Pop being whisked to the hospital, in full cardiac arrest. You hear the tour guide cryptically say, "This is Michael Jackson's estate, everyone. So we'll find out later in the news what happened."

We're told Michael Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, is "inconsolable."
For the record, Debbie gave up all parental rights to the two children -- Paris and Michael Jr. Therefore she is not legally in line to take custody.
UPDATE: We just pulled legal documents regarding custody of Debbie and Michael's kids, and you can see here the moment when Debbie gave up her parental rights.
In the docs, when Debbie is informed she'll have no rights, she says, "Not that I don't love them. I do. I think they're adorable. They're his kids. They're his kids. They're not my kids. They're his kids."

So fire trucks and ambulances rushed to Cher's house less than an hour ago. Turns out the company that was servicing her alarm system was working on the system, and activated the panic button, thinking the system was on test.
It wasn't on test, and emergency vehicles rushed there. A law enforcement person told us... in Malibu, this happens a lot.
Rich woman's problems.

We've just obtained photos of the ambulance Michael Jackson's chauffeur allegedly smashed into yesterday -- and it looks more like a scrape-and-run than a hit-and-run.
As you can see in the photos, there's obvious damage on the left side of the ambulance, including the driver's side mirror which is hanging on by a thread. The EMT told us the sudden impact caused injuries to him and his partner -- who were sitting in the ambulance at the time.

We just talked to the ambulance driver who was allegedly sideswiped by Michael Jackson's chauffeur yesterday -- and he says the ambulance wasn't the only thing banged up in the alleged hit-and-run.
Here's Jamin Mauro's side of the story: He and his partner were eating lunch in the ambulance, which was parked in an alleyway outside of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Jamin said a dark blue Escalade suddenly struck the driver's side door and ripped off the mirror.
Mauro claims his head struck the driver's side window and his partner's head and elbow were banged up as well. Jamin says they both have stiff necks and are going to the doctor today to get checked out.
After Jacko's driver allegedly hit the ambulance, Jamin says the guy quickly sped off, picked up MJ and fled the scene.
Although Jackson wasn't even in the Escalade at the time, his rep issued this statement: "He is doing fine. M.J. is okay it was not bad."

Josh Hartnett was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital early this morning, ending his night at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.
The 911 call came in at 12:53 AM and the caller said abdominal pains were the issue.
The ambulance picked up Josh at about 2:00 AM. He walked on his own power -- no stretcher was needed.
UPDATE 12:57 PM We're told Josh was in "excruciating pain" last night, because of gastrointestinal issues. We're told he may have picked up some sort of stomach virus while shooting a movie overseas, and he's had ongoing stomach issues as a result. He's seeing a specialist today.
