GINGER JUICE : FRIDAY March 30, 2012

 

 

 

After numerous trips to court, rehab and JAIL, plus dozens of hours of community service and therapy, Lindsay Lohan is in the clear.  Almost.  In court yesterday, Lindsay got the official word from the Judge that her probation for her two DUI arrests is OVER.  The judge said, "You need to live your life in a more mature way.  Stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work.  I don't expect to see you again.   The only terms left for you on that case are to obey all laws.  Not that hard."   Lindsay is still on INFORMAL probation until May of 2014 for stealing that necklace.  But she doesn't have to actually DO anything.  She just has to stay out of trouble.  If she messes up before then, she could spend 245 days behind bars.

 

 

I could have SWORN there was going to be a Nicki Minaj wardrobe malfunction last night.  She was on American Idol performing a version of "Starships," the debut track off a new album that comes out on April 3. Jumping up and down in a little halter bikini top.  I mean, I waited for it!  Hollie, Skylar and Heejun were in the bottom three and it was Heejun that was sent packing from the mansion.  The judges did not use their save on him. 

 

 

Charlie Sheen spoke with Matt Lauer yesterday on the "Today" show . . . and he talked candidly about his meltdown last year, and the bizarre speaking tour that followed.  He said, "I was going to do a documentary with all the footage that I'd shot during the tour and the whole build up during the meltdown.  Looking at a lot of the stuff, it was like, 'Oooh, can't put that back out.'  It was a little cringeable; I didn't recognize parts of who that guy was."  Charlie says he's having a blast filming his new show "Anger Management", "I couldn't have the 'Two and a Half Men' thing be my TV legacy . . . I couldn't have it end on that note. The new show is going to be a beautiful experience and so far, eight days was more fun than eight years."

 

 

According to the E-Poll market research firm, Kim Kardashian is the Most Overexposed Celebrity, and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe are also in the Top 10.  But overexposure is not necessarily a bad thing, especially in the Kardashians' case.  E-Poll says, "A decade ago being overexposed was the kiss of death.  But today it's necessary to fuel reality TV."

 

 

Ryan Seacrest had minor elbow surgery after taping "American Idol" on Wednesday night.  He'd torn a tendon while working out and had to have some scar tissue removed.   The procedure took a few hours and Ryan was MAN enough to stay awake through the whole thing.  Everything is fine now.  He was back on "Idol" last night.

 

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito may do a sequel to their 1988 comedy "Twins", called "Triplets".  And in this one, they find out they have a THIRD sibling, who'll be played by Eddie Murphy. Yep -- brilliant! This isn't a done deal.  A script hasn't even been written yet.

 

 

I'm beginning to really dislike Kate Winslet's attitude. First she says she's never thought Leonardo DiCaprio is attractive. Obviously, she's twisted. NOW MTV asked Kate how she feels when she hears the song, "My Heart Will Go On". She said,"Like throwing up. No, I shouldn't say that. No, actually, I do feel like throwing up. I wish I could say, 'Oh listen, everybody! It's the Celine Dion song!' But I don't. I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll." ... is she forgetting what made her famous?

GINGER JUICE : Thursday March 29, 2012


. . and now . . the new Kardashian swimwear line. (btw, why does Khloe always look so mean??)



 

On Tuesday, Clay Aiken was on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live".  He was asked who, on the current pop scene, wouldn't make it past the first round of the show that made him famous, "American Idol". He said, "Oh God, there're too many.  Too many . . . Current pop singer?  I've stopped listening to them because they can't sing. Um . . . Rihanna has some pitch problems for sure.  She does."  Will that get him into hot water?  Probably not.  He's Clay Aiken - she's Rihanna.  He took to Twitter to defend his statement : "Perhaps I'm too nostalgic, but I recall most fondly the times when musicians played real instruments and sang using their own voices."  I have to agree with him there!

 

 

Rihanna has side-stepped questions about her rumored relationship with Ashton Kutcher. At a London press conference for the movie Battleship, she was asked if Ashton would be joining her on the promotional trip, she replied, "Wow, I'm really disappointed with that question. I am happy and I'm single, if that is what you are asking."

 

 

She might want to rethink that because Ashton might be making some serious bank. Looks like he's close to signing a big contract to return for another season of Two and a Half Men. Sources say Ashton has been offered $1 million per episode. He currently makes $700,000, while Charlie Sheen raked in $1.25 million in his final season.

 

 

Good news for Ron Burgundy fans . . Will Ferrell showed up on "Conan" last night dressed as his character from "Anchorman," and announced in character that he and Paramount have reached an agreement to make a sequel.

Jessica Simpson has rented out an entire hospital wing for the delivery of her daughter — just like Beyonce did in January but will spend MORE -- around $2 Million!

PETA has pledged to support the woman who flour-bombed Kim Kardashian if she presses charges. Her sister, Khloe -- who once posed nude for PETA -- has quit the animal-rights group. Yesterday she blogged, "I just received word that the woman responsible has very close ties to PETA, despite PETA publicly stating otherwise. Not only has PETA lied to the public, but they have proved that they support this kind of behavior." 

 

 

Lindsay Lohan has landed another high-profile acting gig. She's set to appear on Glee in May. She'll play herself as a celebrity judge at Nationals.

Even though the former Bachelor, Ben Flajnik got caught cheating with three different women last month, he and Courtney Robertson has reconciled. She recently moved from Santa Monica into the San Francisco home Ben shares with two roommates. That arrangement, however, is only temporary. According to an insider, the duo are eager to find a place of their own.

Here's a lesson in BAD MARKETING: The Chops & Hops steakhouse in Watkinsville, Georgia used Rihanna and Chris Brown to market their "black and bleu sandwich". They posted a picture of the sandwich on their Twitter page and said, "Chris Brown won't beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with a R and ends with A." After receiving complaints they removed the post and promised to give money to a domestic violence charity.

 

 

Bobby Brown got busted for DUI yesterday afternoon. He was pulled over for talking on his cell phone and while talking to the cops, they noticed signs of intoxication.  Police gave him FOUR field sobriety tests, and he failed them all.  He was booked and released on his own recognizance about two hours later.

 

 

January Jones of "Mad Men" tells People magazine that after she gave birth, she had the baby's placenta dehydrated and made into capsules, which she's ingested daily. She says, "It's something I was very hesitant about, but we're the only mammals who don't ingest our own placentas. I suggest it to all moms."

 

 

Miley Cyrus would like you to know that she is not engaged. A photo of her wearing a rock on her ring finger and standing with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth has been making the rounds, but it's not an engagement ring. She Tweeted yesterday, "I've worn this same ring on this finger since November... It's topaz, people."

GINGER JUICE : Monday March 26, 2012

 

Well, last week we found out that Rihanna was hanging out with Ashton Kutcher until 4am, at his house . . and now it seems that they've been dating on and off for MONTHS. 

 

 

By the way, most women are way too self-conscious to get naked in front of the world.  But Rihanna uses nudity to boost her confidence.  She says, "The more I got naked, the more comfortable I felt.  I just had to face my fear.  You always find something wrong, you always find something you're uncomfortable with, and one thing turns into another and you get embarrassed and self-conscious about it.   After a while it was like, 'What's the worst that can happen.'  I just started being a little more daring with it."

 

 

Looks like Kim Kardashian may now file a lawsuit against the woman that hit her with a bag on flour last week. Kim originally told police to let it go, but she might change her mind.  She says, "I don't want someone to think they can really get away with that. Now that I think about it and had some time to digest it, I think, 'What if that was some other substance?  What if that person had a dangerous weapon?'  It's scary." 

 

 

Holy creepy lady!  Simon Cowell was chillin in front of his TV on Saturday night when he heard a noise coming from one of the bathrooms.  When he went to check it out, he found a 29-year-old woman standing there WITH A BRICK.  The woman got in the house through a downstairs window, and had apparently been wandering around the place for a while before Simon found her.  At one point, she was also believed to have been lying in his bed.  Police were called, and the woman was arrested for suspicion of burglary.

At a Safeway grocery store in Tucson, Arizona, the decision was made to cover Jessica Simpsons partially nude "Elle" magazine cover with a piece of cardboard.  And to make sure nobody messed with it, they actually wrote, "Please do not remove cardboard" on it.

 

 

This comes as no real surprise, and I'm sure you've already heard about Whitney Houston's official cause of death.  according to a coroner's report that came out yesterday, she died of ACCIDENTAL DROWNING, but heart disease and COCAINE USE were listed as contributing factors.  The coroner said Whitney apparently used cocaine, "immediately prior to her collapse in the bathtub at the hotel."  The report also states, "We know that when she slipped under the water she was still alive."  Whitney had a 60% narrowing of the arteries . . . which they say was a direct result of her chronic cocaine use.  Marijuana was also found in her system, along with some prescription drugs like Xanax, a muscle relaxant called Flexeril and Benadryl.  After reading the report, Whitney's family issued a statement saying, quote, "We are saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have closure."   http://www.tmz.com/2012/03/22/whitney-houston-coroner-cause-of-death-drowning-cocaine/#.T2vbMNmW4ud

 

 

Kim Kardashian was at an event in Hollywood last night to promote her perfume "True Reflection", and while on the red carpet, a woman ran up to her and hit her with baking flour.  Kim was rushed away, and the woman was detained.  Kim was able to laugh it off, though.  She said, "That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weird thing that ever happened to me.

 

 

Usher is gettin busy! He has an album coming out sometime this year called "The Shanertance".  He's playing Sugar Ray Leonard in an upcoming boxing movie called "Hands of Stone", but it won't hit theaters until next year.   And now he says he wants to collaborate with Adele.  He says, "I think the world deserves an Usher and Adele record.  That's what I think."  

 

 

Ah whoops!  Victoria Beckham wanted to surprise her son, Romeo, on his birthday with a visit to see Justin Bieber.  She writes in the April issue of "Vogue", "The family took him to hang out in Justin Bieber's studio while he was recording his Christmas album.  Bieber sweetly sent the boys signed guitars afterward, but Romeo's was signed to "Pax" (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's 8-year-old son).

GINGER JUICE : Thursday March 22, 2012

 

I love the world wide web of misinformation.  NOW, Ray J is saying there are no x-rated images or videos of Whitney Houston.   Either it was all just tabload BS, or Whitney's family is pressuring Ray J to hush up. 

 

 

And we love to gossip.   Rihanna spent some time with Ashton Kutcher recently.  At his house.  In the middle of the night.  She showed up at Ashton's house Tuesday, just before midnight.  And she didn't leave until about 4:00 A.M. 

 

 

The Situation has admitted that he IS getting help for substance abuse.  In a Facebook post, The Situation says,  "I want to set the record straight.  I have voluntarily taken steps to get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion.  I have spent the past several weeks getting treatment for this problem and recuperating from my work and appearance schedule.  I appreciate my fans support and love you guys."  He is reportedly rehabbing at the Cirque Lodge in Utah.

 

 

One Direction is getting bigger and bigger.  I'm not sure if you knew, the band was created on the British version of "X Factor".  The five members initially auditioned as solo artists, but Simon Cowell turned them into a group.  Their debut album, "Up All Night", just hit #1 on the Billboard 200 chart after selling 176,000 copies in the U.S. last week.  They've just announced they are coming to the States for a mini tour.  It'll launch in Fairfax, Virginia on May 24th and will run through a July 1st show in Fort Lauderdale.  They aren't coming near us as far as I know.  http://www.onedirectionmusic.com/us/

GINGER JUICE : Wednesday March 21, 2012

 

Ray J is sitting on a GOLD MINE!  You may or may not know that he was dating Whitney Houston for a few years before her passing.  He's come forward claiming to have explicit photos and videos of the late legend.  Obviously Whitney's family has asked to please honor her memory and to not release the images.

 

 

Reese Witherspoon has announced that she is pregnant with her 3rd child (1st with her new husband).  The baby-to-be will join older siblings Ava, 12, and Deacon, 8, Witherspoon's kids with first husband (of 7 years) Ryan Phillippe.

 

 

There's a website called Dial-A-Star.com, where you can actually talk to celebrity-wanna-be's!  You can chat with Dina Lohan -- but she charges the most, at 25 BUCKS A MINUTE.  Or maybe you wanna talk with Tila Tequila?  She'll cost you $20 a minute.  Angelina from Jersey Shore will talk with you for 15 bucks and you can even chat it up with the Octomom, but she'll charge you $12 a minute.  Interested in Michael Lohan?  He's $10 a minute.

 

 

Word has it that The Situation from "Jersey Shore" has gone to rehab.  His rep wouldn't confirm the report . . . but did say he, "has spent the past several weeks at an undisclosed location for much needed rest and recuperation after his extensive production and appearance schedule."  Yesterday, The Situation Tweeted, "Getting in amazing shape for Season 6!"  And last night, he Tweeted, "Don't believe everything you read or hear." 

 

 

50 Cent says his next album will come out on July 2nd.  He Tweeted, " My birthday's July 6th, so that's a cool date for ME.  It's gonna be July 2nd - album, July 4th - Independence Day, then July 6th - my birthday."   50 didn't mention a title.  At one point, it was going to be called "Black Magic", but that was back when it was a "dance album" that was coming out LAST summer, so who knows . . 

 

 

How HUGE is "The Hunger Games" going to be this weekend?  Well, the online ticket seller Fandango.com says it has already sold out nearly 2,000 screens, and it doesn't even open until Thursday night at midnight.  Movie analysts are expecting "Hunger Games" to make around $85 million in its opening weekend, but some people think it could go as high as $140 million.   That would beat the latest "Twilight" movie, "Breaking Dawn:  Part 1", which earned $138.1 million.

 

 

"American Idol" and "The Voice" took the top three spots in the ratings again last week.  Wednesday's "Idol" performance show was the week's most-watched TV program with 18.4 million viewers.

I've kinda been waiting on this . . Rihanna and Katy Perry are planning on collaborating, but there's no timetable for it yet.  Rihanna says, "I won't say that it's happening right now, but it's going to happen."  Katy confirmed this in a recent interview, but is also looking to work with Beyonce and Shakira.  She said, "It's one of those things that's got so much build-up that we have to deliver.

 

 

Speaking of Katy -- she recently did a cover of Jay and Kanye's song, ". . in Paris"

Snoop Dogg's new album will show a shift in focus and show off his LOVING AND CARING side.   When asked about his next album, Snoop said, "It's a real special project to me because it's like the reincarnation and the birth of me becoming who I really am.  I never really knew who I was through the music.  This record, and this project will symbolize that and gives me the opportunity to step into the world of the stadium and then do those kind of songs that last 40, 50 years to go along with what I've already done."

 

 

"Two and a Half Men" is bringing Charlie Sheen's character back -- as a GHOST -- played by Kathy Bates. The episode will air on April 30th when Jon Cryer's character will suffer a minor heart attack and the ghost of Charlie comes to visit him in the hospital. 

 

 

While there is still a lot of talk about Britney Spears joing the "X Factor" as a judge, there is still another judges seat open and a hosting position,  and THAT position may go to George Clooney’s girlfriend Stacy Keibler.

 

 

Demi Moore is back to work, too . . but is it the old Demi?  Her latest ads for Helena Rubinstein's 2012 campaign have been released, and all we can focus our attention on is the massive amount of Photoshopping going on.

 

 

A mistrial was declared in Nicollete Sheridan's $6 million wrongful termination case against ABC Entertainment.  After jurors remained, in their words, "hopelessly deadlocked," 8-4, after 10 hours and 30 minutes of deliberations, the judge made the decision yesterday.  Loks like both sides will try to settle out of court, but that will remain hush hush. 

GINGER JUICE : Monday March 19, 2012

 

Sean Kingston is trying to recover from an accident that nearly took his life and now he's being sued.  About 2 years ago, he opened for Justin Bieber.  Either before or after the concert, a fight broke out where a woman was seriously injured.  Sean and someone else on the tour were just served with papers.  There's no word whether Sean actually had a role in the attack. 

 

 

For those that still talk about how wrong it is for 42 year old Jennifer Lopez to date her 24 year old back-up dancer, she has news for you. She tells "Vogue" magazine that it's okay because she looks a lot younger than she is.  She says,  "I don't feel older, and I don't feel like I look it, either, so I am just acting the same way I have always acted."

 

 

Oprah WInfrey's OWN network has cancelled Rosie O'Donnell's talk show after just five months because of low ratings.  Rosie Said, "I loved working with Oprah.

Jeremih ran into a rough crowd in Texas last Wednesday night.  According to reports, he was two hours late for a performance and when he finally went on, he appeared to be LIP-SYNCHING.  The crowd didn't appreciate that.  They booed, and threw drinks at him until he left the stage.  The concert only ended up lasting a few minutes.

 

 

Last week, Fabolous "made it rain" at an Atlanta strip club.  He supposedly tossed $28,000 into the air.  Ka-Ching!

 

 

Rihanna's been losing a lot of weight lately, which she blames on her hectic schedule.  The one thing she'd most annoyed about with the weight loss, is the loss of her backside. She says, "I'm working on getting my butt back.  It used to be my favorite body part, but now it's disappeared!  I'm going to have to start hiking or at least going on the elliptical or walking on an incremental treadmill or horseback riding.  Something that firms the butt."

 

 

Ooh Cee Lo . . c'mon!  He performed "[Eff] You" - the explicit version - at an Obama fundraiser in Atlanta on Friday.  He didn't censor himself, and he even flipped the bird during the performance.

Seriously -- poor Rihanna.  She Tweeted song lyrics and everyone speculated she's talking about Chris Brown.  The song is called "They Gonna Talk" by Beres Hammond.  "When they see me with you, wonder what the crowd would say?  When they find us together, what will all the people say?"

 

 

Britain's not-always-reliable "Daily Mail" tabloid says Jen Aniston spends $8,000 a month to look as good as she does. Chemical peels, facials and a neck cream made with crystals from Mars -- yes, THE PLANET Mars.  She also spends $680 a week on a dietician and a close to a grand for yoga sessions.

 

 

Oh dear . . Lindsay Lohan was trying to make it out of a tight parking spot late Tuesday night and apparently grazed a car and POSSIBLY a guys knee.  Witnesses say she then peeled out. Here's the thing, though:  Cops were called, but a police spokesman told "People" magazine that the man told them there was no injury to his knee or his vehicle, so they left and closed the case.  Witnesses at the scene also said the guy wasn't injured.  It gets better!!  At the time of the alledged grazing, the man didn't know who Lindsay was and when he FOUND OUT, he then suddenly developed an injury.  So he went to the emergency room, hired an attorney and plans to file a police report, which could re-open the case.

 

 

Jessica Simpson has revealed that she is expecting a baby girl.  "In Touch Weekly" says a "family friend" told them her name will be MAXWELL . . Maxi for short.   Jessica has been wearing a necklace with a diamond "M" pendant, and she admitted that's the baby's first initial.

 

 

The disqualification of Jermaine Jones on American Idol last night was uneventful and he took it well.  Basically Ryan Seacrest went to a clip of the Producers sitting Jermaine down and telling him that because he was dishonest from the beginning and has 4 outstanding warrants for his arrest, "the road ends here".  http://www.eonline.com/videos/v180553_jermaine-jones-is-disqualified-on-idol.html

Flavor Flav's new takeout restaurant "House of Flavor" is opening in Las Vegas tomorrow. Flav tells "Business Week", "I'm going to be there as much as I can.  When I go to the restaurant, I'm going to be working.  I'm not going to be just signing autographs and taking pictures.  You'll find me in the kitchen cooking, you'll find me frying chicken.  You'll find me serving food to customers.  And I'll be taking pictures and autographs at the same time."

 

 

"American Idol" took the top two spots in the ratings this week, but "The Voice" is closing in.   "Idol's" performance show was watched by 18.7 million people and easily won the week.  But Thursday's results show and "The Voice" were separated by less than half a million viewers.

GINGER JUICE : Tuesday, March 13 2012

 

Last night was the season finale of "The Bachelor," and Ben Flajnik had to choose between Lindzi and this year's villain, Courtney. He tells Lindzi that she's everything he was looking for but then he tells her he's in love with someone else.  Ben ended up proposing to Courtney.  The big shock came during the "After the Final Rose" special, where Courtney said that Ben broke up with her right before Valentine's Day . . but that they are back together.  Lindzi was on "Good Morning America" and said Courtney won because she was nude a lot and that maybe she should have skinny-dipped more.

 

 

Demi Lovato used her Twitter account to go after cyber-bullies the other night. She said, "It really surprises me the hateful things people say on the Internet.  After all the awareness of cyber-bullying . . . I mean wow.  So sad."  She added, "[I'm] praying for all the people in the world who feel it's okay to bully people over the internet because if you are one of those people, then . . .You must have had something really terrible happen to your childhood or you're really sick in the head.  Must suck to be born without a heart." 

 

 

There's a new "Vacation" movie in the works.  Clark (Chevy Chase) and Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo)'s son, Rusty Griswold has grown up!!   No one has been cast yet . . (not even Rusty -- but they really should try to get Anthony Michael Hall!!).  The filmmakers say there's an opportunity for Chevy and Beverly to make an appearance.

 

 

Last month, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld called Adele, "a little too fat."  Adele hasn't commented yet, but freakin Madonna has.  She says, "I don't like it when anyone says anything bad about anyone.  I don't like it.  Adele's a great talent and how much she weighs has nothing to do with it."  Right - this coming from a woman who owns her own health clubs and looks like a bag of bones.  She does have some advice for Adele, "The thing for Adele to remember is at the end of the day, whether you rise or fall, it has so much to do with how you sustain yourself and keep your integrity and your inner strength.  It is all about who you surround yourself with . . . friends and people who really do care about you, and care about your well-being beyond being a superstar.  That's the most important thing."

 

 

On the "The Biggest Loser" tonight (8:00 - 9:30 on NBC), Jessica Simpson offers one lucky competitor clothes from her own label, a makeover and a shopping spree.

GINGER JUICE : Monday March 12 2012

 

Is anyone watching "Celebrity Apprentice"?  In case you are -- Micheal Andretti and Adam Carolla were sent home last night.

 

 

Heather Morris, "Brittany" from Glee, had her cell phone hacked . . and yes there are lots of nekkit photos.  (here's only one of the 3 photos where she has clothes on)

 

Speaking of "Glee" . . The show is shooting a full-episode tribute to Whitney Houston that'll include eight of her songs.  A source says, "It's using Whitney's music as a way to say goodbye.  A way to respectfully say thank you for her music."   The plot involves the graduating seniors having a hard time letting go.

 

 

Speaking of Whitney Houston, her daughter, Bobbi Kristina told Oprah she's going to carry on her mother's legacy by pursuing a showbiz career.   She said, "I'm her daughter.  I have to carry on her legacy.  We're gonna do the singing thing.  Some acting, some dancing.  It's a lot of pressure, but she prepared me for it."  Not surprisingly, it's come out that Bobbi Kristina wants to legally change her name to Kristina Houston. 

 

 

Britney Spears may be a judge on "X-Factor".  E!

For what it's worth, E! News stops short of saying Britney rejected $10 million, but says she'd take $16 million.

Did you catch Lindsay Lohan on SNL Saturday night?  According to the early numbers, "SNL" had its second biggest audience of the season.   A specific estimate of the number of viewers hasn't been released yet.  My news feed on Facebook didn't have many good comments about her performance.  A lot of people weren't digging her hair and some knew her bad jokes were the fault of the show's writers.   "Entertainment Weekly" suggested she was the "worst host of the year", "Time" called it a, "less-than stellar" comeback and "Newsday" said she was, "just THERE for the most part."

We lost a legend yesterday when Davy Jones, lead singer of the Monkees died suddenly of a heart attack. He was 66.   The Monkees actually started off as a fictitious BEATLES knock-off band who starred in their own trippy sitcom that ran from 1966 to 1968.   But thanks to hits like "I'm a Believer", "Last Train to Clarksville", "Daydream Believer"and "Pleasant Valley Sunday", the Monkees became a REAL band.  Davy was pretty much a heart-throb and young girls back in the day would have posters of him lining their bedroom walls. 

 

 

The other big news to hit yesterday -- Snooki *is* pregnant.  The New York Post is bringing the story back and saying Snooki was denying the rumors before because she didn't want to jinx it.  Of course, the Jersey Shore Spinoff with Snooki and J-Woww will be a little different, but MTV has no comment. 

 

 

NBC is developing a sitcom about a RADIO SHOW titled "Next Caller Please". Dane Cook plays "a brash alpha male DJ, who's disheveled, unshaven, hung-over, and doesn't like that his co-host is a woman."  His co-host is a feminist, who's played by Collette Wolfe from the movie "Observe and Report", and she played Kristen on "Cougar Town".  If the show is picked up, it could premiere this fall.

 

 

Bah - Rihanna was in the UK chatting about a new clothing line when she suffered a hair emergency.  She was kickin it in a hotel steam room and sauna, when she got out looking like Diana Ross.  She freaked out, called her stylist, and paid like $24,000 to fly Ursela from LA to London.
