Oprah Counsels Rihanna and Jimmy Kimmel is Alone Again

Oprah, herself a victim of physical abuse, held a roundtable discussion on her show today and she offered some wise words of advice for Rihanna. The young star, who was beaten up by her boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, is said to have reunited with him at Diddy’s house in Miami. Oprah thinks the young couple needs to take some time and get counseling. She also mentioned a good point – “Love doesn’t hurt.” Well, at least not physically. And Oprah pointed out something she says she has been telling women for years – “If a man hits you once, he … Continue reading →

Donald Trump Saves Ed McMahon from the Streets

Who knew Donald Trump was a softie? The man whose acerbic comments made him Rosie O’Donnell’s No. 1 enemy is Ed McMahon’s new best friend. Or at least his landlord. The real estate mogul announced that he just shelled out more than $3 million to save Johnny Carson’s sidekick’s Beverly Hills mansion from foreclosure. According to reports, Trump bought the home for an undisclosed amount and plans to lease it to McMahon so he and his wife don’t have to find somewhere else to live. Eighty-five-year-old McMahon went public a few months ago with his tales of financial woe. The … Continue reading →

Reege to the Rescue—Yet Again!

When in need turn to Reege. ABC did when they needed a host for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” and now CBS has followed suit turning to the king of daytime talk to inject star power into their new primetime game show “Million Dollar Password.” The series debuted on Sunday and delivered solid ratings. Make that king-sized ratings. According to Nielsen, Sunday night’s premiere of “Million Dollar Password” was the highest rated show in its timeslot. And Regis Philbin is taking all the credit. The 76-year-old charmer doesn’t do much on the show, but that’s what makes him so … Continue reading →

Deal or No Deal—Osmond’s Yes, Rosie No

It’s a done deal. Despite the death of their beloved father George Osmond, the Osmond siblings (plus 120 other family members) will appear on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” as planned. Donny Osmond told TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” that after much thought the family decided to go through with plans to appear on the legendary talk show host’s show. Osmond revealed that Winfrey sent a private jet to Provo, Utah where the family had gathered following the news of patriarch George’s death. More than 125 Osmond’s boarded the plane to Chicago where they will tape a reunion episode tomorrow. According to Donny, … Continue reading →

Ro Says No—Again

Days after turning down a seat next to the one woman who would single handily thrust new book “Celebrity Detox” into literary stardom, Rosie O’Donnell has come to her senses. No, she didn’t profusely apologize to Oprah Winfrey and beg for another chance to appear on her show; rather the former “View” co-host has decided not to appear hypocritical and has now cancelled all of her interviews related to the revealing new book. You’ll recall the comedian granted “Good Morning America’s” Diane Sawyer a sit down interview to promote her new book even though she refused Winfrey’s invitation. Now, word … Continue reading →

Rosie vs. Elisabeth—The Aftermath

I saw it. In a strange turn of events I actually caught the on-air brawl between “View” co-hosts Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, which transpired Wednesday. If you missed the dust-up, basically the crux of the argument was rooted in the fact O’Donnell had unresolved feelings regarding Hasselbeck’s failure to defend her when media outlets suggested that she had called U.S. troops “terrorists” during a previous on-air debate. Midway through the heated exchange, O’Donnell called Hasselbeck “cowardly.” “What you did was not defend me. … I asked you if you believed what the Republican pundits were saying – you said … Continue reading →

Rosie’s Most Unforgettable Moments

Rosie O’Donnell has only been on “The View” for 6.5 months, but you’d think it was a lifetime… if you were Barbara Walters. To say the controversial co-host (who just announced she intends to leave the chatfest in June) has been a lightning rod for controversy is an understatement. Her verbal antics have been fodder for many of the blogs in the Pop Culture category here at families.com. And, while some of you may be sick of reading about Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, and the many, many moments she firmly planted her foot in her mouth I would be remiss if … Continue reading →

Ciao Rosie!

The fact that CNN is calling the report “Breaking News” says a lot about the state of our world, doesn’t it? It’s the news some knew would be coming and others hoped would be coming (Donald Trump and Co.)—Rosie O’Donnell will be leaving ABC’s “The View” in June. I just watched the controversial co-host announce her departure live on “The View” and she didn’t seem to be upset about it at all. According to O’Donnell, she wasn’t able to agree on contract details with ABC (she says they wanted her to sign a 3-year deal and she only wanted to … Continue reading →

Ah, Rosie is at it Again

Okay, this time, Rosie was egged on a bit. Apparently, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay called for Rosie to be suspended from her duties on “The View” last Friday. It seems that DeLay was a bit upset by the firing of Don Imus over his racist comments about the Rutger’s girl’s basketball team. Well, he was not actually upset about the firing – DeLay says his comments were deplorable, but said Imus has apologized for the comments, should be forgiven, and everyone should just move on. But, DeLay insists that the Left wants Imus to be destroyed, both publicly and … Continue reading →

Celebrity Updates: “Dancing’s” New Star, Pam’s New Gig, And Rosie’s New Apology

In a previous blog I mentioned that producers of ABC’s mega-hit, “Dancing with the Stars” were racing to find a replacement for contestant Vincent Pastore, who dropped out of the competition earlier this week. With less than three weeks until season four’s premiere, Pastore announced the show’s physical demands were too rigorous for him and he “felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity.” Enter former “Cheers” star John Ratzenberger. Show executives told hosts of “Good Morning America” that the actor, who played Cliff Clavin on the popular barroom sitcom for 11 seasons, would take Pastore’s … Continue reading →
