Hollywood is buzzing over a report that NBC could dump Jay in favor of Jimmy Fallon. Howard Kurtz on the déjà vu scenario.

PAPAL PARTY

The race to replace Pope Benedict XVI has begun. Four days after the 85-year-old officially took off his papal robes, more than 100 cardinals from around the world gathered inside the Vatican Monday for the first round of meetings before the conclave to elect the next pope. Greeted by a swarm of hungry reporters, the cardinals seemed excited about Benedict's replacement. "A Latin-American pope is possible, everything is possible!" a Portuguese cardinal told TV crews. Preparations for the conclave will include closing the Sistine Chapel and making sure the Vatican hotel is debugged.

ROMNEY

Nearly four months after he blamed his loss on Obama's 'gifts' to minorities, Romney returned for a Fox interview to prove he's still clueless about why he came up empty on Election Day. By Peter Beinart.

SCIENCE/MIRACLE

This is a big one. Doctors said that they had successfully cured a baby with HIV for the first time. The Mississippi baby was blasted with antiretroviral drugs 30 hours after birth—usually a newborn with the virus is given one or two drugs to fend off the disease. This time, instead of waiting to confirm infection, doctors essentially nuked the disease, lowering virus levels immediately and seemingly eradicating the illness. There are approximately 330,000 babies who were born with HIV in 2011. If confirmed, this is the second documented case of a cure, the first being the "Berlin patient" who was given a bone-marrow transplant. The only remaining question about this baby: whether the child was actually infected with HIV.

TRAGIC

The baby that was delivered after his parents were killed in a car crash on the way to the hospital has died, a family friend says. New York police are searching for the driver and passenger of a BMW that rammed into a livery cab Saturday. The 21-year-old Orthodox Jews were on their way to the hospital when the accident happened in Williamsburg. The details are horrific: the cab's engine was pushed into the backseat; the pregnant women was ejected and found under a parked trailer; the husband was pinned in the car. The baby was initially saved in an emergency C-section.
