The Early Show

Howard Stern Bashes Jay Leno – Video

March 2, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Howard Stern has no love for Jay Leno, and he’s surely not afraid to say it! CBS’ “The Early Show” gave the sometimes shocking radio host time Tuesday morning to slam the “Tonight Show” host when Harry Smith asked Stern about the Leno move on NBC – sending Stern launching into a mighty attack on Leno.

Per NY Daily News:

“Just the mere mention of Jay Leno’s name makes me to want to vomit,” Stern told “Early Show” anchor Harry Smith — who, not surprisingly, barely got a word in. “I don’t like this guy,” Stern said. “I don’t disguise it.”

The shock jock spoke to CBS live from his Sirius XM Radio studio for close to five minutes, once again accused Leno of stealing material from himself, David Letterman and even people in England. Stern said he felt that after Leno’s 10pm time slot failed, the respectable thing would have been for him to move to a new network and face Conan O’Brien and Letterman’s shows head-on.

“Jay Leno seems to be the kind of showbiz animal that won’t let go,” Stern said. “Jay is a lap dog.”

Ouch. I wouldn’t expect to see Stern on Leno’s lineup anytime soon.

Adam Lambert Says He Meant No Disprespect

December 1, 2009 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

Adam Lambert has had to answer a lot of questions about his provocative American Music Awards performance over the last week or so, and the questions don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. He’ll once again open up about the performance that shocked some people when he appears on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” He admitted that he may have crossed a line or two during the performance, but says that he’s still learning. Lambert also said he didn’t “intend to disrespect anyone” with the performance and that he has no hard feelings toward ABC, which canceled his “Good Morning America” appearance after his risky performance. Following the performance, Lamberts mom supported him on “The Early Show,” but Lambert his dad thought he should have apologized.

Per Celebitchy:

“My dad was like, ‘Maybe you should apologize, Adam,’” he says on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday. “I was like, “You know, dad, I don’t feel like I did anything wrong. It just wasn’t maybe the right judgment call. It’s a taste thing more than an obscenity thing. I think it’s just a taste level.’”

As for ABC and Good Morning America, he claims they were ‘a little mad’ at him and that he doesn’t blame them, saying they gave him a ‘great opportunity’ and that he would ‘never want to smack that gift horse in the mouth.’ Well I’m glad that he is finally admitting that his actions were a bit inappropriate for network tv. Adam is very talented and should be known for his vocals, not his antics. What Lambert really needs is someone besides himself to make PR and creative decisions. I still cannot believe he didn’t know that the family viewers who supported him on “American Idol” wouldn’t be offended by his AMA shenanigans.

Levi Johnston, who is the father of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palins‘ grandson, went on “The Early Show” Wednesday to blast the former VP running mate for, among other things, making jokes about her son Trig who has Down’s Syndrome, often referring to him as “retarded.”

Per Huffington Post:

“I was just in shock the first time I heard it,” he said, when host Maggie Rodriguez expressed disbelief.

Nothing like airing your ‘dirty laundry’ to keep us entertained! He goes on to talk about how his baby’s mama Bristol took care of her little brother more than Palin ever did, because she was never home. Johnston also said that Todd and Sarah would often fight in front of their kids. But now Palin is striking back against Johnston, claiming his accusations to be nothing more than lies.

“We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family. We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied.” Palin also went after CBS and Levi’s intentions to strip for Playgirl: “CBS should be ashamed for continually providing a forum to propagate lies. Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies — those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention.”

Johnston suggested that there were much darker secrets out there about Palin, ones he wouldn’t reveal on-camera since he “didn’t want to hurt her.” We also know that Johnston is looking for publicity, as he has recently done an extensive amount of fitness training for his upcoming Playgirl photo shoot. Can we really trust what this guy says? Oh who cares, with a face like that he could tell me that the sky is is neon green with shooting pink stars and I’d believe him. By Palin stating that she is ignoring Levi, it makes no sense. You ignore someone by not giving them the time of day. I’m rubber your glue. Grow up.
