Rosie’s New Show and Madonna’s New Vows

Rosie O’Donnell is headed back to TV. A little more than a year after she got into a wicked war of words with her fellow co-host on ABC’s “The View,” and subsequently walked away from the daytime chatfest, the outspoken actress turned craft queen is closer to sealing the deal with NBC to star in her own show. According to reports, execs at the peacock network are game to give O’Donnell a chance to strut her stuff on a series that has been compared to “The Carol Burnett Show” and “The Ed Sullivan Show.” O’Donnell’s primetime deal is not set … Continue reading

So This is Why They Call Her a Crybaby

Perhaps, it’s her age… or maybe she’s pregnant again. Either way “The View” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck was in tears again on national TV last week when things got heated at the “Hot Topics” table. And you thought all the drama was reserved for the soaps that air immediately following the daytime chatfest. So here’s how it all went down: On Thursday’s show Hasselbeck’s fellow co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepard were discussing Jesse Jackson’s recent use of the n-word while preparing to tape an interview on FOX News. Goldberg and Shepard, who are both black, maintained that the word has … Continue reading

Hollywood Hook Ups and Make Ups

It’s not everyday that you find love in the gym. But that’s exactly what happened to American Idol and Celebrity Fit Club alum Kimberley Locke. She was trying to lose weight and in the process found romance in the weight room. Locke recently confirmed that she is indeed “involved” with Celebrity Fit Club’s Harvey E. Walden IV. However, since the notoriously tough trainer is in the midst of a divorce Locke refuses to call him her boyfriend. “[His divorce] is why we’re not a couple yet,” Locke told reporters. “That is my rule. Whether you’re separated or married — whatever … Continue reading

Is Rosie Trying To Ruin “The View?”

One might come to that conclusion after noting the former “View” co-host’s timing in releasing excerpts from her new book. And beyond that, the controversial jabs she takes at her former boss Barbara Walters. Oh where to begin… Rosie O’Donnell recently penned a new book called “Celebrity Detox.” (It’s scheduled for publication next month.) In it the comedian speaks out about her tumultuous tenure of “The View” (including her bitter feud with real estate mogul Donald Trump) and her relationship with each of the ladies she sat next to at the “Hot Topics” table—namely show creator Walters. Let’s just say … Continue reading

Elisabeth On Rosie: “Maybe We’re Not Friends.”

DUH! Gee, ya think? It seems the youngest member of “The View” is finally speaking out about her current relationship with former co-host Rosie O’Donnell. In her first sit down interview since the much publicized on-air shouting match between herself and O’Donnell (the one that eventually led to the outspoken comedian’s abrupt departure from the daytime chatfest), Hasselbeck told TV’s “Access Hollywood” that she is now unsure if she can call O’Donnell a friend. This new revelation comes weeks after the 30-year-old former “Survivor” contestant repeatedly denied that the on-air spat caused a rift between her and O’Donnell. Now it … Continue reading

Yours… IF The Price Is Right

If you missed Bob Barker’s last appearance (maybe) on “The Price is Right” this morning, don’t worry CBS plans to rebroadcast it tonight prior to the Daytime Emmy Awards. BUT (and this is a big BUT) if you want to bid on the legendary game show host’s microphone you only have to the end of Barker’s repeat broadcast to do so. For those of you non-die-hard Barker fans, the man who has been kissed on the cheek by excited contestants on more occasions than he cares to remember stands to make eBay history. The retiring game show host’s long, skinny, … Continue reading

New Career Moves For Female Stars

Wasn’t it Madonna who said the key to remaining in the spotlight is to constantly reinvent yourself? Seems as though some of her fellow stars are taking the Material Girl’s advice. JENNIFER ANISTON The 38-year-old former “Friends” actress is now the face of something purer than all that glitters in Tinseltown. Aniston has invested in bottled-water. It’s true; the star is now the face behind “smartwater” and will appear in posters and print ads promoting the beverage. But that’s not all; according to company executives, Aniston “co-created a limited-edition smartwater label,” which will be available in stores across the country … Continue reading

“View” News: Classy “Viewer” Weds and Rosie’s Idol Says “Ciao” To Rome

I’m sure the tabloids are counting the minutes until the start of today’s edition of “The View.” After all, this will be the first live show to air since Rosie O’Donnell announced she would be leaving the ABC chatfest before the end of her contract. No doubt there are those who are dying to see how den mother (and show creator) Barbara Walters handles the situation… but I think more people will be tuning in to see what co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has to say about Rosie’s departure and having Donald Trump refer to her as “the dumbest person on television.” … Continue reading
