GOODBYE TO GOSSELIN

Jon Gosselin was just fired from TLC – as of Nov 2nd it’ll be Kate plus 8...but even that is on it's last legs (began the season with 9.8 million, Monday was 1.7 – she’s also in talks for a talk show). A source says "Given Jon's recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on." He's now shopping around that divorced dad reality show, but no one wants to watch, so it may not pan out.

DJ AM DEATH AN OVERDOSE

According to the New York City Medical Examiner, DJ AM's death has been ruled an accidental overdose - or in medical terms "acute intoxication" after consuming a lethal cocktail of cocaine, painkillers, sleeping pills and mood-alterers includin OxyContin, Benadryl, Xanax, Ativan and Klonopin.

JT AND JB FINISHED?

Rumor has it JT and JB broke up a month ago - he dumped her. Get US Weekly tomorrow...apparently the whole story's there (and well of course it has to be true!)

YOUR FALL FIX

NCIS: LA is the BREAKOUT hit of the fall TV season so far…almost 20 million ppl watching. (the orig actually a snippet higher). Modern Family on ABC 2nd place…SO FUNNY!! (Flashforward, Cougartown). 2 new shows tonight, Kelsey Grammar in Hank about a big shot CEO in NYC who loses his job and Patricia Heaton in The Middle (plays a used car saleswoman in Indiana).

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE…WITH THE SOUND OF MONEY

The Hills and The City are back tonight. The Hills, back for Season 6. Did some looking and found salary info: The girls get almost $100,000 PER episode (2.5 million per season). Spencer Pratt makes a little less though, about $65,000 per episode. Brody Jenner makes $45,000. By comparison, the Real Housewives (take any city) make $30,000/show. Then add in endorsement deals, clothing lines and personal appearances ($25,000/club/2hrs).

BEYONCE A "YOU KNOW WHAT?"

I’m going to tell you a quick story, you tell me if you think it’s true. Lindsay Lohan was hosting a big Formula One racing concert in Singapore on the weekend with Gwen Stefani, the Peas, and headliner Beyonce. As the story goes, when Beyonce found out Lindsay had the best and biggest dressing room, she kicked her out. She also had a 139 page rider that included 6 beauty chambers, a complete fitness center and an entire air conditioning system. Apparently she wouldn’t share with any of the other artists and ppl were passing out backstage. YAY or NAY?

NO FIRINGS FOR THE F-BOMB!

NBC says that new Saturday Night Live cast member JENNY SLATE, she’s NOT getting fired for dropping the F Bomb during the season premiere. No truth, the show goes on. Oh and since the incident occurred at 12:40AM Eastern Time, SNL is not expected to face any fines from the FCC.

X FACTOR TO USA

If you’ve heard this rumor…looks like it’s true. Simon Cowell’s hit British show the X Factor is coming to the states. He agreed that he’d stay with Idol for 2 more years, if they’d let him bring this little show across the pond – oh and that he’ll make over $103 million dollars doing so.

F-BOMB ANYONE?

NBC censors had their hands full at the premiere of Saturday Night Live. And not with Megan Fox. One of the new cast members Jenny Slate dropped the F Bomb during a sketch (first time it’s happened since 1981), rumor is Lorne Michaels fired her right after the show (don’t think this has happened…yet). Good news, they had time to replace it with freakin for the Western time zones.

CONAN SLIPS

Conan O’Brien should NOT do his own stunts, unless he wants another concussion. On Friday he slipped, fell and hit his head while rehearsing a triathalon sketch with Teri Hatcher, and had to be rushed to the hospital, forcing NBC to air a rerun of the Tonight Show (something they have NEVER done). Looks like he’ll go back to work today to talk to Drew Barrymore.

UMMMM, CONGRATS??

After ONE solid MONTH of dating, Khloe Kardashian got married to LA Lakers forward Lamar Odom last night. Here’s where it gets a little Reality TV’ish though…on Saturday he told her he wanted a pre-nup but lawyers were worried there wouldn’t be enough time. And they couldn’t move the wedding because E! was footing the 1 million dollar bill, and the wedding HAD to be shot that day to become an episode. So…Lamar is now demanding a post nup and some say they’re already hitting road blocks and fighting over the $300,000 they got from the wedding pics. And the 6 million dollar house HAS to have a basketball court.

THE RUMOR MILL CONTINUES…

More Brad and Angie rumors: Angelina threw him out of the house saying this time it’s for good – all they ever do is fight. He has hired a real estate agent to find him a new Paris apartment. A source says “Brad looked scruffy, bloated and unshaven… he looks as if he’s living out of a suitcase.”

AND ANOTHER...

James Michael Tyler, who played ‘Gunther’ on Friends, says Friends The Movie is on for 2011. All 6 core actors are in negotiations and the creators David Crane & Marta Kauffman, have reportedly been drafted to write and produce the movie.

YOUR FALL FIX

Well, we have our first cancellation of the TV season. Any guesses? One of the most expensive news shows this season - The Beautiful Life on the CW with Mischa Barton and producer Ashton Kutcher. After 2 episodes, they shut it down mid taping. The Vampire Diaries however has gotten 9 more episodes and Melrose (6 more). Tonight Lie to Me starts again for Season 2, we have ONE new show starting – oh yippee, another medical drama – called Trauma.

DUSTIN THE DORK

Dustin Diamond (Screech) wrote a tell all book…yes, another memoir called Behind The Bell – pretty gritty. Goes on sale Tuesday but I have some snippets. He said Mark Paul Gosselaar (Zack) used steroids and put on 25lbs in a month, that everyone did drugs on set (even though he didn’t see it), that Mario Lopez (AC Slater) slept with everyone he could and they made Tiffani Thiessen lose weight. He also slams guest stars on the show- calling Fred Savage a douche nozzle and Neil Patrick Harris an a-hole. Mark-Paul Gosselaar denies all the allegations, telling Us Weekly, quote, "We weren't in rehab and Mr. Belding wasn't my crack dealer."

TWILIGHT INJURY?!?

First…don’t panic with what I’m about to tell you, he’s OK. Jackson Rathbone who plays Jasper Hale in Twilight had a bit of an accident on the set in Vancouver. He was rehearsing a fight scene, he hurt his hand, he went to the hospital, he is fine.

MACKENZIE PHILLIPS ON OPRAH

Well, this has certainly dominated the news the last couple days. MacKenzie Phillips (from One Day at a Time) – was on Oprah yesterday talking about her memoirs- called High On Arrival, exposing that she and her Dad (the late John Phillips from the Mamas and the Papas) were in an incestuous relationship for almost 10 years. She was VERY candid with Oprah, telling her that she eventually put a stop to the relationship after a decade, when she became pregnant and was unsure of the baby's father, also claiming her dad paid for an abortion.

The REASON she wanted to go on Oprah was to admit that although the relationship eventually became consensual, she wanted to put a FACE on the problem, because sadly it happens more than we know. She also goes on record to say they were BOTH HEAVILY influenced by massive amounts of drugs/alcohol. “I THINK MY FATHER WAS NOT A BAD MAN. HE WAS KIND OF A TESTAMENT TO WHAT DRUGS AND ALCOHOL IN HUGE QUANTITIES CAN DO TO A PERSON'S PRIORITIES AND MOTIVES”.

(Michelle Phillips, who was married to John from 62 to 70 doesn’t believe a word of it, saying “she had a needle stuck up her arm for 35 years…but if she thinks it’s true, why isn’t she with a good psychiatrist on a couch? She also says “I think it’s unforgiveable that Oprah would LET her do her show!”)

I believe Oprah even made the comment, “Will someone call tomorrow to tell us this is all a lie?” – she’s been burned before by a MEMOIR… "A Million Little Pieces," James Frey from a few years ago…MacKenzie’s book is now in stores.

ARE THE SPICIES REUNITING?

They're girls, they can be bitches and they sing in stadiums. They also might be reuniting! WHO AM I TALKING ABOUT? Mel B - Scary Spice may have dropped a BIG hint by tweeting the vague message, "Spice Girls, stadiums??????”

ANDERSON AND KELLY?

"Live with Anderson and Kelly"? No, this is a rumor. Anderson Cooper is NOT replacing Regis next year. Reg is not retiring. EVER.

YOUR FALL FIX…

One of the most-hyped new shows of the fall premieres tonight – it’s called FlashForward. People black out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds and see the future…based on a book, produced by the ppl behind Batman…Grey’s is also back tonight 2 hrs of crying…oh and the 10th season of CSI the orig.

LET’S PLAN KEVIN’S BACHELOR PARTY!

Kevin Jonas has picked his best man/men – it’s Joe and Nick (DUH). Next on the list, is planning his bachelor party! It’ll be good clean fun, with friends and family. No Vegas, they want to go somewhere cooler and better. K let’s make a list -- Six Flags? The Mall of America, Disney? Lego Land? Sea World? Toys R Us, McDonald’s ball pit, Chuck E Cheese.

LOCKLEAR’S BACK!

Melrose alert, down another 21% in viewers…NO ONE is watching, so they anti’ed up the cash and have secured Heather Locklear to come back November 17th. I doubt it’ll even make it to then – they’re billing it as a MASSIVE comeback. We’ll see…

JT’S NEW GIG

Justin Timberlake just got a new gig – he’ll star in a movie called The Social Network…basically it tells the story of how Facebook got started. He’ll play Sean Parker, Napster’s co-founder and Facebook’s original president.

FED’S NEW GIG

Kevin Federline is massive…if you’ve seen pics lately, he’s put on a LOT of weight and some say he won’t stop gaining until someone pays him to lose it (rumors of a weight loss product endorsement deal) - Whether or not that’s happening, he has been cast in the new season of Celebrity Fit Club. Shar Jackson, one of his exes is on it too – along with Nicole Eggart from Charles in Charge/Baywatch. (2010)..

LINDSAY HEADED FOR MELTDOWN

Ted Cassablanca from E! Online is going on record to say that Lindsay Lohan was seen doing crystal meth IN the open, at a party, then had a total meltdown. He goes on to say, you’re getting so pathetic we’re not even bothering to make you a blind item for people to guess about. We’re this close to outing you (pretty sure they just did) thanks to your highly visible, most recent drug stunt. You used to have the potential to be a big player in Hollywood, but now at this rate, it won’t be much longer…

YOUR FALL FIX

So far, DWTS and House are the highest ranked fall shows. Lowest- Heroes and Jay Leno…Now- tonight for new shows: hospital drama number 5000 – Mercy, Also – Eastwick, Modern Family with Ed ONeill (Al Bundy from Married With Children- this actually looks REALLY funny), Cougartown with Courtney Cox Arquette. Returning shows- Criminal Minds and CSI NY are back.

Tuesday, September 22, 2009

LINDSAY LOHAN THE CAT BURGLAR??

Cops arrested the dude who broke into Lindsay Lohan’s house, 18 yr old Nicolas Prugo. Here’s the thing though – they’re friends, several ppl who worked with Lindsay on the set of her movie Labor Pains said that they were ALWAYS together – If THAT checks out, she could be the 2nd person involved in the robbery. If that’s the case, Miss Lohan could be in massive trouble.

THE HOFFER'S EAR ISSUES


You may have heard The Hoffer was rushed to the hospital Sunday night…they thought because of drinking, now we’re hearing that he lost his equilibrium after taking the drug Antivert which he was taking to treat an ear infection. I guess though, it apparently interacted with another drug he takes called Antabuse, which helps people quit drinking.

YOUR FALL FIX...

Tonight: Christian Slater’s show My Own Worst Enemy didn’t work last year, so this year he’s trying The Forgotten (from the makers of CSI), We also have NCIS and NCIS LA with LL and Chris ODonnell.

EMMY's VS NFL

Well the ratings for the Emmy’s were UP, massively from other years…13 million people tuned in, which was good news for host Neil Patrick Harris…unfortunately 25 million were watching the Dallas Cowboys play in their new fancy stadium.

FIRST SEASON PICK UP

Hey have you watched the new show that’s getting MASSIVE hype Glee? Well, Fox has a TON of confidence – it’s been picked up for a full season already making it the FIRST TV show of the fall season to earn a full-season order...cancellations coming soon.


SHOPPING?

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, 30 Rock: Season 3 and Sean Kingston has a new cd called Tomorrow, out today. He’ll also be on DWTS tomorrow night. Confused?
