TLC has signed up Kate Gosselin for a new reality series that will feature her "trying new things" without Jon or her brood, TheWrap.com reports. The reality star and her new litter of hair extensions has been reclaimed by the network "because they are worried if they don't do it with Kate, someone else will," according to a shady-sounding unnamed source.
The new show, which is slated to debut in late spring/early summer, will supposedly have an "interactive" factor in which viewers can suggest new challenges revolving around Kate trying various different professions. I'm picturing something kind of like "The Simple Life," only set on a farm for one week, then a restaurant the next, and perhaps a hardware store after that. I'm sure there will be plenty of fame-mongering businesses that would love to have her around. No fashion-related jobs, please, though -- for all our sakes.
The show is unnamed as of yet, but hopefully will be titled something like, "Kate For Hire," or "Working Mother of Eight," or "Jon Doesn't Pay Child Support." I'm going to make a totally wild prediction that the series ends with Kate getting "challenged" to host her own talk show, and then...she gets hired! Pure conjecture, though.
Khloe Kardashian (the youngest and curviest of the three sisters, seen above being mischievous on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians") is reportedly marrying Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom next Sunday. (I would have referred to her as the smartest and most quick-witted Kardashian, but since she thinks she's ready for marriage after just one month of dating, I can't attest to her brainpower.)
And no, the shotgun wedding isn't happening because there is a baby is on the way. Us Magazine claims that Khloe wants to marry Lamar before he goes away for training and starts his season with the Lakers. But I think she wants to get married because she's worried he'll meet someone when she's not around. Now, maybe Khloe missed the day in school where the rest of us learned this, but a quick round of "I Do" doesn't guarantee a traveling athlete's fidelity. Maybe go on the road with him if you're that worried?
This is exactly why David Hasselhoff needs his own show: he is a goldmine of truth and wisdom with nowhere to put it now that "America's Got Talent" is over for the season. Consider the clip above, in which Hasselhoff explains why he thinks Kevin Skinner won the competition last night. I challenge you to find another celebrity who is this easy on the eyes and who understands Skinner's "middle America thing" better than the almighty Hoff...and can explain it in under three minutes. How can we just let him slip away until next season?
Tim Gunn, you have been missed. Jon Stewart sat down with the tough-love mentor on "Project Runway" and Gunn was at his dapper best in what can only be described as too short an interview.
Topics covered in the clip above? The crappy perfect weather in Los Angeles, this season's shooting location for the show; Bravo's attempt to replace its "Project Runway" with "The Fashion Show" (Stewart: "It sucked"); and Gunn's reincarnation as a Marvel superhero to fight "crimes against fashion."
Normally, I am fully behind Howcast and the good works it does for the community. But I have to register an objection to the video above, which purports to educate viewers as to how to play the game Celebrity. One of the world's best and most crowd-pleasing party games, Celebrity is a challenging and hilarious game that truly offers something for everyone. But as depicted in the clip above, it's a tedious guessing game -- and, more to the point, a boring one! They're right that you divide into teams, write up several celebrity names on slips of paper, and take turns giving verbal clues to help your teammates to guess each name you pick out of the bowl. But that's only the first round, people. Wikipedia details how Rounds 2 and 3 are played -- that is, where the sport of the game comes in! In Round 2, you run the risk of picking the wrong one word, and trying to convey the celebrity with sound effects or funny accents. And in Round 3...well, one of the all-time greatest Celebrity moments of my life came when my sister drew the name Noam Chomsky and, having no clue who he was, mimed a Pac-Man type mouth with her hands (like "chomp" -- and her team totally guessed it).
Anyway, kudos to Howcast for bringing attention to Celebrity, which you should absolutely play the next time you're hanging out with three or more of your friends. And kudos to the intrepid archivists of Wikipedia for supplementing Howcast's version of the game with a description of what actually makes it worth playing.
Here's some bad news and some worse news: First, Lindsay Lohan has apparently started speaking with a British accent. If she keeps it up, you'll inevitably read about it all over the place. But worse news is that she's been seen hanging out with PC from "NYC Prep." Let that sink in.
Now, I like Lindsay and PC separately, but I wonder why she's hanging out with an 18-year-old kid with nothing to offer her. I guess he could've answered her fake eHarmony ad (above), but I'm trying not to think about that. Lindsay's supposed to be gallivanting with designers like Max Azria and Donna Karan, not recent high school graduates. Why would anyone go clubbing with a kid, when PC can't even drink! (Well, not legally anyway.) It just doesn't make sense.
Yesterday morning, Elisabeth Hasselbeck from "The View" (and frequent target on "Saturday Night Live") had a baby boy. She named him Isaiah Timothy. But unfortunately for little Isaiah, his entrance into the universe hasn't garnered as much discussion as who will replace his mom on "The View" while she's on maternity leave. Jezebel suggested Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Meghan McCain and Heidi Montag (insert compulsory sigh), but I think they missed the mark a bit. See why after the jump.
continue readingMichael Jackson's former boss at Sony says that the gloved one has so much unreleased music that there are still plenty of Michael Jackson albums to come.
"Let's say 12 or 13 songs end up on the album; Michael could have possibly recorded 15, 20 or 30 songs," Tommy Mottola says. "This would probably go for every album he recorded and probably predating [Sony] to his Motown days."
Among the unreleased tracks are collaborations with Will.I.Am, Akon, and Freddy Mercury.
"There were so many recordings, and so many of them were great," Mottola says. "It doesn't mean these [unreleased] songs were any less great; it just happened to be the other songs that were picked."
Reports estimate that Jackson could have more than 100 unreleased songs in the vault.
Both my arms are up, my hands are in the air. That's right: TOUCHDOWN. Nice pass, Tony Romo. The season is almost here, and Jessica Simpson is clearly not good for your career.
"She is heartbroken," a source tells People.com. "She loves Tony. But it's been difficult lately. He's busy with his career and she's getting ready to shoot her show ("The Price of Beauty"). They decided to part ways."
At least Simpson can be confident that the cause of the split was not her looks, given that she made "Celebrity Buzz's" list of best boobs (after the jump).
Mega-ultra-uber-super-stars don't just die. How about a conspiracy?
"I just couldn't believe what was happening to Michael," Joe Jackson said in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America." "I do believe it was foul play. I do believe that. Yes." As for a motive, there's all the money that's being made off Michael's death. Watch the clip above to see if you find the evidence suspicious too....
