Rosie O’Donnell Returns to Television

Rosie O’Donnell has landed herself another daytime television gig. This time, to my chagrin, she’s not going to scratch Elisabeth Hasselback’s eyes out with her crocs, but rather will have her own daytime talk show on Oprah Winfrey’s new network.

Via Yahoo News:

“Winfrey announced the show Thursday, calling O’Donnell a true original who brings passion to everything she does.”

According to O’Donnell, the show will be “uplifting” and will help “change peoples lives.” I wonder if this means she and Dr. Phil will have to mud wrestle for Oprah’s affection?

Sara Rue’s 50 Pound Weight Loss – PHOTOS

Sara Rue has lost 50 pounds! She is the current spokeswoman on Jenny Craig. Through diet and walking she graduated to running and eating better as a lifestyle change.

Via People

“I have such a better relationship with food than I’ve ever had in my life,” Rue, 31, tells PEOPLE. “I’ve learned how to control portions; I’ve learned how to eat healthfully. I spent the first few months of this program wearing my pedometer and getting in my 10,000 steps every day. When I started running I would run for one minute and walk for ten. Now I can run for two-and-a-half hours straight. That’s insane! I never would have thought six months ago that I would be able to run that much. I was barely squeezing into a size 14. Now I am a size 6.”

Good for her! Let’s hope she doesn’t pull a Kristie Alley and go back to the lure of the pork chop.

Brett Favre Nude Photo Scandal

From our favorite sports site comes a tale about Brett Favre nude photo scandal. It’s sounds almost fairytale-esque so we shall call it Goldicocks.

Sportscasm reports that Jenn Sterger has photos of Brett Favre’s penis. Jenn is formerly a Florida State Cowgirl turned Playboy bunny and Maxim model. After selling her goods, she started writing a column for Sports Illustrated before taking a job as in-house sideline reporter for the Jets.

According to Jenn’s story, the (possibly) retired quarter back texted and called her during the early season. They were mild and friendly but then turned to a more sexual nature. She found the messages and conversations “weird” but kept it quiet in fear of losing her job. Of course he got more aggressive and sent her photos of his penis.

Via Sportscasm Per Deadspin:

“It was his d**k. Brett Favre’s d**k. And it happened multiple times. In fact, Sterger claims that, in one of the photos Favre allegedly sent her, he’s masturbating — while wearing a pair of Crocs. In another photo, Favre is holding his penis while wearing the wristwatch he wore during his first teary-eyed retirement press conference.”

Crocs? Who was he trying to seduce? Rosie O’Donnell? Mario Batali?

Whoopi Goldberg Accused of Hitting Real Housewife of DC!

Yes mommy! Just about every ho on that show deserves a good whack from The Whoopi. She should start charging for that. We can all get t-shirts that are emblazoned with the words “I Got Whacked By Whoopi!” on them. Of course, people might take it the wrong way and I am not about to be locked up for a Whoopi Goldberg prostitution ring.

“Real Housewives of D.C.’s” Michaele Salahi claims that Whoopi Goldberg hit her during the show. From the above clip Salahi is going on about anorexia when Whoopi appears from offstage and touches her on the arm to which Salahi exclaims “I felt someone touch me.” The show went on with the bitchfest over the White House crashing.

Later Michaele started crying and accused the show and Whoopi Goldberg of “outrageous abuse.” Whoopi came back to her room and yelled: “I didn’t fucking hit you! Did you say I fucking hit you?”

Now, the “White House Party Crasher” is demanding an apology for the fictional “hitting” and being called a party crasher. ABC is practically laughing at her (as is the rest of the world) and issued this statement:

“At one point during Michaele Salahi’s appearance on The View on Wednesday, Whoopi lightly touched Ms. Salahi to get her attention and said to her, “Excuse me, can you get back to the White House, please?,’ meaning could Ms. Salahi return to the original subject of the conversation. After the show, Ms. Salahi and her husband accused Whoopi of hitting Ms. Salahi. As the broadcast clearly shows, the accusation was completely unfounded and erroneous. After the show and after being told she was being accused of hitting Ms. Salahi, Whoopi proceeded to defend herself verbally from this baseless claim in a heated exchange with the Salahis.”

Translation: “Ho, you can’t even get arrested so as Aretha said to Gloria, Celine, Shania, and Mariah during Divas Live, “Are you trippin’? No one interrupts the Queen of Soul, bitch. Ok?”

Mary Hart To Leave ‘ET’ After Its 30th Season

It’s official: After much speculation on whether she will stay, go, or be replaced (read about that here), Mary Hart has just announced that her final year on the show will be “Entertainment Tonight’s” upcoming 30th season, which launches in September.

Per PopEater:

“It will certainly be with mixed sentiments that I say ‘goodbye’ at the end of the season, but it will definitely be with a sense of celebration … 30 years of Entertainment Tonight, are you kidding me?” she said. “That’s an accomplishment and something I’m very proud of!”

Hart, a 1999 inductee into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame, joined “ET” in 1982. No immediate successor was named, but “The Insider” anchor Lara Spencer has been mentioned as a possible replacement.

First class lady. You will be missed, Mary!

Final ‘Twilight’ Release Date Announced

Brace yourselves, Twi-hards – This news may not sit well with you! “Twilight” fans will have to wait until November 16, 2012 for the release of the final big screen installment of the series – Breaking Dawn Part 2. There has been speculation on when the saga would draw to a close, with the release of the last film in the franchise being hotly debated.

Per Reel Empire:

According to reports, Summit was holding back in announcing an official release date for the second part of “Breaking Dawn” because the studio wanted to see how well “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” performed at the box office during the summer season. If you recall, “New Moon” was released last November and so far, it’s out performed “Eclipse” thus it makes sense the studio will wait to release the second half of “Breaking Dawn” in the month of November as well.

Patience is not one of my virtues, but at least we have just over two years to prepare ourselves to say goodbye to our favorite trio! The final book in the series, “Breaking Dawn”, has been split into two film with the first scheduled to hit theaters November 18, 2011. Robert Pattinson, Kristin Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and the rest of the cast are set to begin shooting the two movies in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Vancouver this fall.

Two years … let the countdown begin.

Wyclef Jean to Run for President of Haiti

If Arnold Schwarzenegger can be put in charge of the well being of the state of California, then I think will a former member of the Fugees will make a fine president.

Wyclef Jean will be returning to his roots as he has confirmed his bid for President of Haiti. Jean was born in Haiti and moved to Brooklyn when he was nine. After the January 12th earthquake that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands people, he was inspired to step in and do something for his native country.

“For the 250,000 people who died in the earthquake, that’s the reason we ought to see a change in the system,” Jean told listeners in Haitian Creole on Radio Tropic’s 8 a.m. show “Bonjour Haiti.”

Jean will step down as the founder and chairman of the Yéle Haiti Foundation, his publicist announced Thursday morning. Business leader Derek Johnson will serve as interim CEO.

Trouble is, under Hatian law in order to run for President one must prove: He holds only Haitian citizenship, has lived in Haiti for five consecutive years and owns land in Haiti. Jean must prove all this by Saturday in order to be eligible to run. If he is able to run, the eligible list will be determined on August 17th, he will be a part of the November 28th election.

Naomi Campbell Blood Diamond Testimony – PHOTO

Naomi Campbell has gotten herself into a pickle. This time it doesn’t involving throwing cell phones at her minions or beating them with knockoffs. The glamazon managed to get herself into a war crime surrounding an exchange of blood diamonds.

Naomi is on trial and testifying before a war crimes tribunal. Prosecutors hoped she would provide evidence that former Liberian ruler Charles Taylor traded guns to neighboring Sierra Leone rebels in exchange for uncut diamonds (aka blood diamonds) during Sierra Leone’s 1992-2002 civil war.

She explained to the tribunal that she had gotten some “dirty-looking stones” from Taylor after a 1997 dinner party. She then gave the stones to a friend, Jeremy Ratcliffe, who was the director of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund. Her intent was for the diamonds to be used for charity. However, the precious stones never made it to the fund.

Via Huffington Post:

“The organization’s current spokesman, Oupa Ngwenya, says the fund did not receive the diamonds. Ngwenya said the fund was unable to locate Ratcliffe and he also could not be reached by phone. Ngwenya confirmed that Ratcliffe is no longer the fund’s chief executive but a trustee.

Campbell said she had called Ratcliffe a year ago to ask what he had done with the stones, and he told her he still had them.”

This is still in court and developing…

Lily Allen is Pregnant

I was starting to wonder where Lily was. She hasn’t made some uncensored comment on Twitter or been photographed drunk and being carried home by a bodyguard lately. Apparently she has been busy making babies Her rep confirmed to People that Lily Allen is pregnant.

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper are very happy to confirm that Lily is expecting their first child. Lily’s professional commitments will carry on as normal, including a scheduled performance at the Big Chill this weekend.”

Sam owns a construction company in London and he and Allen have been making sweet construction music together for nearly a year. I am sure Gisele Bunchen will be galloping over with the boob police to make sure she is breastfeeding. (Click HERE for the story on Gisele’s new breastfeeding law.)
