Holly Madison Reacts To Hugh Hefner’s Engagement

I have to admit, I’ve been wondering what Holly Madison thought about the news that Hugh Hefner had proposed to his girlfriend of one year, Crystal Harris, when Holly spent several years trying to get a ring. Holly talked to E! News’ Marc Malkin about the news.

“I’m very surprised,” Holly Madison exclusively told me last night of the engagement…

She said, “I have a lot of different feelings on it. I don’t just feel one way. I kind of didn’t want to put a generic statement out there like ‘Congratulations!’ because I felt everyone would see through that.”

Holly Madison met with Hugh and Crystal at the Playboy mansion and apparently told them how she felt. Want to know what was said? You’ll have to wait for the next season of Holly’s reality TV show, ‘Holly’s World’- the cameras rolled for the face-to-face.

But Holly Madison would say this:

“It went very well,” she said. “I had a good day.”

Meanwhile, Holly Madison is currently dating a guitarist.

“We’re just keeping it very chill,” she said. “He makes me very happy. He has a very good head on his shoulders. He’ll be on my show, too.”

The new season of ‘Holly’s World’ premieres on E! on January 23. Will you tune in?

Katie Holmes Influenced By Jackie O. And Suri

 Katie Holmes Influenced By Jackie O. And Suri

Katie Holmes talked to Elle magazine about preparing to play the iconic Jackie O. in the History channel miniseries ‘The Kennedys.’ You can read the entire interview in the February issue of Elle, which hits newsstands January 17, but here are some excerpts.
On preparing for the role by watching old footage of the Kennedys:

“[Tom] watched everything with me; he found it fascinating.”

On playing the former first lady:

“I worked as hard as I could, because I loved her. On set there was this feeling that we had to create something very special, because these people were very special.”

On Jackie Kennedy’s strength:

“I didn’t realize that she had lost a child in August and then [Jack] was assassinated in November. I couldn’t believe it. She had so much strength….I loved her love of family, how important it was for her to be a good mother.”

Brace Yourselves: Snooki Is Set To Become A Brand

 Brace Yourselves: Snooki Is Set To Become A Brand

I guess it was inevitable. ‘Jersey Shore’ has become MTV’s biggest hit show, and I think The Situation has done about all he can do. So bring on Snooki! The New York Post reports Snooki is preparing to roll out a number of licensed products under the name “Snooki.”

That means fuzzy slippers, blingy jewelry, and giant sunglasses for starters, says Stephen Goodman of SRG Ventures.

Then, over the next year, the firm also sees the potential to expand into numerous other categories, including denim, sportswear, lingerie, handbags, personal care, beauty products, fra grances, swimwear, bedding and home goods.

You didn’t honestly think that someone who celebrated her last birthday wearing a princess tiara and did her own ball drop on New Year’s Eve would stop with a book (‘A Shore Thing’) and a jewelry line, did you? The third season of ‘Jersey Shore’ premieres tonight. Are you ready?

Britney Spears Was Inspiration For Gwyneth Paltrow For ‘Country Strong’

 Britney Spears Was Inspiration For Gwyneth Paltrow For ‘Country Strong’

Something tells me Britney Spears will take this story about as well as Lindsay Lohan took Gwyneth Paltrow’s mocking of her on ‘Glee.’ Anyway, according to Fox News’ Pop Tarts, Gwyneth’s character was partly inspired by Britney’s very public problems for Gwyneth’s character’s comeback in her new movie, ‘Country Strong.’

“You see a lot of these themes in real life, while I was writing the script a lot of those things that were happening with Britney Spears were very public,” writer/director Shana Feste revealed to FOX411’s Pop Tarts. “She was shaving her head, and I saw how fixated we are as a society in building people up to see their downfall and then the pleasure we take in building them up again.

Gwyneth herself said that she turned to her friend, singer Beyonce, for advice about performing.

“I picked the brains of my girl singer friends more.  I obsessively watched Beyonce perform, she is ‘it’ in terms of a performer – if I could just get a little bit of that abandon she has on stage, that’s what I was really focusing on,” Paltrow explained.

And actually, Gwyneth’s public persona is so different from Britney’s that the film studio president initially balked at the thought of Gwyneth taking the part!

“He thought everyone was so crazy because I was so wrong,” she said. ‘When you think ‘country superstar drink addict’ maybe you don’t think of me, but it’s in there… I haven’t been macrobiotic for a long time now, drinking country singer is much closer to the real me!”

OK, Gwyneth. Something tells me there’s a BIG difference between eating a macrobiotic diet and alcoholism- LOL.

Are you looking forward to seeing Gwyneth in ‘Country Strong‘?

Was Jennifer Aniston Tipsy At The People’s Choice Awards?

 Was Jennifer Aniston Tipsy At The People’s Choice Awards?

I did watch a bit of The People’s Choice Awards last night, actually I watched Jennifer Aniston present the first award of the night to Adam Sandler and didn’t really think anything of it at the time, but this morning everyone is saying that she acted a little tipsy when presenting the award.

Aniston presented Sandler with the award for Favorite Comedic Star before interrupting his speech to also present him with the award for Favorite Comedy Movie for The Grown Ups. I re-watched it and am not sure that she was tipsy, but maybe . Have a look for yourself after the jump and let me know what you think!

Celebrity Pictures With The Cast Of Jersey Shore

 Celebrity Pictures With The Cast Of Jersey Shore

Tonight’s the big night – Jersey Shore season 3 debut’s on MTV – will you be watching!? The cast members were out in full force making an appearance this morning on Good Morning America.

I did notice that Snooki wasn’t there though – maybe she’s busy working on her brand! The stars certainly look excited for their season premiere though – I can’t believe that they are so mainstream now that they are on Good Morning America! Just when we thought that maybe their 15 minutes was up!

I will admit I am excited for the premiere tonight just to see what kind of drama will happen with the cast members this time! Will you be tuning in?

 

Gwyneth Paltrow Really Got Into Her ‘Country Strong’ Character

 Gwyneth Paltrow Really Got Into Her ‘Country Strong’ Character

Gwyneth Paltrow sounds like she was pretty fun to work with on the set of ‘Country Strong’! According to US Weekly, the actress really got into character during filming, by basically being drunk all the time!

Gwyneth Paltrow appeared on the Rachael Ray show and said;

“You just get really drunk all the time. Which is awesome!”
“At least I did anyway, it’s not very professional,”
“There’s a Bloody Mary at 10 a.m. and keep it going all day!”

Wow, she’s a better woman that I am to be able to do that and work! Gwyneth Paltrow certainly has been making the publicity rounds, trying to drum up buzz for this movie, and I think its working! It definitely is on my wish list of movies to see now. Country Strong opens this weekend, do you think you’ll go see it?

Jennifer Lopez And Ryan Seacrest Say ‘American Idol’ Has A Totally New Vibe

 Jennifer Lopez And Ryan Seacrest Say ‘American Idol’ Has A Totally New Vibe

We’re just a few weeks away from the premiere of ‘American Idol’s’ 10th season. Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, and Jennifer Lopez share that it’s different without Simon and there’s a completely new feel to the show.

Randy Jackson shared that everyone wants to know who the “new” Simon is:

“we definitely miss [Cowell], but it’s a different kind of vibe. It’s a different energy now. It’s not about replacing [Cowell] or any of the others. People have been saying to us, ‘Who’s mean?’ We’ve traded off on that because I think you have to always give people the truth, no matter what.”

Jennifer Lopez says it’s more of a group effort now:

“We’re more of a collaborative judging group. We’re always leaning over to each other and saying, ‘Oh my God, I think she’s good.’ ‘Or, I don’t get it.’ ‘You don’t like it?’ ” she tells the magazine. “We just have a totally different style than any of the past judging tables.”

Ryan Seacrest adds:

It’s going to be an all new show,” Seacrest says.

Are you ready for an “all new” Idol? I have to admit that my curiosity is piqued by the new judges, so I might take a look to see how the dynamic has changed.

Camille Grammer Is Frustrated Over The Way She’s Been Portrayed On ‘RHOBH’

 Camille Grammer Is Frustrated Over The Way She’s Been Portrayed On ‘RHOBH’

‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ star Camille Grammer is speaking out about her frustrations at the way she’s being perceived by the public – mostly due to the way the show has been edited.

“It’s like a runaway train that’s out of control. I’m going through this divorce in my private life, and this on top of everything else has been really hurtful. I don’t know where it’s coming from.”

She’s most angry for the flak she gets over decisions that were made by both her and ex Kelsey Grammer – like having four nannies for two kids.

Even the nanny controversy, I have to laugh about it, because that was Kelsey’s decision to hire the four nannies. And I’m taking all this heat for it,” Grammer tells PEOPLE. “It’s almost as if, on the show, he had nothing to do with our life together. We were married! We made these decisions together.”

She also says that she’s moving forward with her life.

“I’m not in love with him anymore,” she says. “There’s been too much pain. I’m moving forward. I’m starting new traditions with our children and I look forward to my future.”

I wonder if Camille Grammer really will stay out of season 2, like it being reported? Either way, I’m sure that it is very frustrating to have no control over the way reality shows are edited. It’s pretty easy to skew things in a negative way to create some drama.

Seth Rogen Tells Howard Stern He Won’t Be Getting A Prenup

 Seth Rogen Tells Howard Stern He Won’t Be Getting A Prenup

‘Green Hornet‘ star Seth Rogen is out promoting the new flick and stopped by Howard Stern’s radio show this morning. Among the topics of chat – Seth’s engagement to his long-time girlfriend Lauren Miller. When prodded about the engagement, Howard got Seth to reveal that he’s not planning a prenup – and Howard tried his best to persuade him to rethink that.

“I’m not. My business manager told me to get one too.”

“Marriage can be expensive and if I lose millions then it’ll be the best millions I’ve spent,” Rogen sweetly cracked, admitting that the engagement ring he gave Miller was the most expensive thing he’d ever held before, but still less than $50,000.

Howard lectured him about how much his own divorce had cost him and also made mention of Kelsey Grammer’s pending divorce negotiations, but Seth was set in his decision, despite the fact that he makes more than enough money to “retire today”, as he shared.

Seth also shared that good friends James Franco and Jonah Hill would be in attendance at his wedding, but he didn’t want to share the date so that the paps wouldn’t descend on their day.

Do you think he should be protecting himself for down the road “just in case”? Or do you think love shouldn’t include legal documents detailing your future split?

Bikini clad Olivia Palermo and boyfriend Johannes Huebl were photographed spending a romantic day on the beach in St. Barts, France. Man! St. Barts is the place to BE!

The reality star – who is coming out with her own fashion line – cuddled up with her man on their blanket and kissed on the beach. Johannes even made sure that Olivia didn’t have any extra unwanted sand. Check out the thumbnails to see Huebl wiping the excess off Olivia’s bikini.

Vivica A. Fox Is Engaged

 Vivica A. Fox Is Engaged

Vivica A. Fox is getting a great start on the new year: she’s become engaged! Omar “Slim” White, an Atlanta concert promoter, popped the question on December 27 while the couple were vacationing in South Beach, Florida.

“My career has been my baby for such a long time and I’ve done well by that,” Fox told Wendy Williams in December. “I waited for God to send me a good man, and he’s a good Southern man.”

This will be Vivica’s second marriage. She’s a woman who seems to enjoy getting dressed up, so I can’t WAIT for the wedding pics . Congratulations!

Snooki’s New Book Is “Friggin Phenomenal” (Video)

‘Jersey Shore’ personality Snooki says her new jewelry line is “friggin awesome” and her new book, ‘A Shore Thing,’ is “friggin phenomenal.” If you say so, Snook- LOL.

If 2010 was the year The Situation blew up with his book and (brief) stint on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ then it’s looking like 2011 will be Snooki’s year, between her book and jewelry line.

Are you even a little curious about Snooki’s new book, ‘A Shore Thing’?

Gwyneth Paltrow On The Cover Of Good Housekeeping

 Gwyneth Paltrow On The Cover Of Good Housekeeping

Gwyneth Paltrow has been making the publicity rounds to help promote her new movie, Country Strong, and the GOOP author opens up in the February issue of Good Housekeeping. In the issue the actress/singer opens up about her famous husband, suffering through postpartum depression, and learning to play an instrument for her latest movie.

On Why She’s Seldom Photographed with Husband

“If I’m looking grumpy in public or if Chris and I leave a restaurant separately, it’s only because we don’t want to encourage photographers.”

About her Husband Chris Martin

“I definitely have to coax things out of him when we talk. You know, he’s British, so it’s a different lexicon totally. But you have to communicate. Otherwise there’s no relationship.”

“I can depend on him. He makes me laugh. He’s really appreciative of me. You know, he makes me feel special.”

“It’s weird, because we’re famous people, but I think our values are primarily family-oriented. We’re not swept up in the whole thing of it.”

On Her Experience with Postpartum Depression after Moses Was Born

“I felt like a zombie. I couldn’t access my heart. I couldn’t access my emotions. I couldn’t connect. It was terrible, it was the exact opposite of what had happened when Apple was born. With her, I was on cloud nine. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t the same. I just thought it meant I was a terrible mother and a terrible person.”

“About four months into it, Chris came to me and said, ‘Something’s wrong. Something’s wrong.’ I kept saying, ‘No, no, I’m fine.’ But Chris identified it, and that sort of burst the bubble.”

 “The hardest part for me was acknowledging the problem. I thought postpartum depression meant you were sobbing every single day and incapable of looking after a child. But there are different shades of it and depths of it, which is why I think it’s so important for women to talk about it. It was a trying time. I felt like a failure.”

On Learning to Play Guitar for Country Strong

“It was so much fun to pick up a new skill. I can be a perfectionist, so I really practiced. And between Chris’s help and the director needing me to be prepared, I was totally ready when the time came.”

You can read more of Gwyneth’s interview with Good Housekeeping in the February issue.

Lea Michele’s Dream ‘Glee’ Guest Stars – Justin Timberlake, Madonna and Susan Boyle!

 Lea Michele’s Dream ‘Glee’ Guest Stars – Justin Timberlake, Madonna and Susan Boyle!

I have to say I think that Justin Timberlake would be awesome on Glee! Lea Michele, who plays Rachel Berry on the show, also said that she’d love to see Madonna actually guest star on the show too!

“We all loved doing the Madonna show – it was one of my favourite episodes. We’re hoping to do a part two. Maybe Madonna could be the sex education teacher.

“Justin Timberlake would be great. He is perfect.”

Oooooh, I think a show with Madonna and Justin Timberlake would be even better! Lea Michele also told LOOK magazine that rumors of Susan Boyle appearing on the show have her giddy!

“Oh my God, I have no idea! It would be so incredible to sing with her.

“She had a hidden talent which was then discovered, which is what happened to so many of us from ‘Glee’. Look at Amber Riley and Chris Colfer – they’re incredible and thanks to ‘Glee’ the world gets to see them.

“I think Susan Boyle is perfect. She’s a shoo-in.”

I think those all would be perfect guest stars for the show! I can’t wait for new episodes to return because as much as I love to rewatch old episodes I much prefer the new ones! Who would you like to see guest star on Glee?

New Couple Alert: Meg Ryan And John Mellencamp

 New Couple Alert: Meg Ryan And John Mellencamp

Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp are reportedly dating! Even though John just announced his separation from his wife Elaine, the couple had been living apart for some time.

According to People, the two have been dating four around 7 weeks and have been spotted on Martha’s Vineyard together and around Meg’s SoHo neighborhood. One observer at her favorite coffee spot shared:

She usually comes in by herself or with her daughter. I thought that was her husband because they seemed for comfortable and familiar with each other, just like an old married couple,

I never would’ve paired these two together. I wonder how they met?

Natalie Portman’s Parents Keep Her Grounded

 Natalie Portman’s Parents Keep Her Grounded

‘Black Swan‘ actress Natalie Portman shares that her parents are supportive of her acting, but are hoping she’ll go to grad school.

“My parents are the opposite of stage parents in that they’re still not so sure about the whole Hollywood thing. I got a degree in psychology at Harvard and my dad is still saying, ‘This being an actress thing is cute, but don’t you think it’s time to go to grad school?’ They are amazing parents who listen to me and respect what I say, and the reason I’m not totally crazy is I know they’re at home, happy, loving me and proud of me no matter how badly I fail. If you have that in your life, you feel free to do anything.”

The newly engaged star also shared that she has another fella in her life that loves her unconditionally (and it’s not fiance Benjamin Millepied:

“I have an amazing dog called Whiz, a black and brown Yorkie – lots of shades going on in that coat. He turned four last Halloween. He has this amazing intuition of knowing how people feel and when he’s in a room full of people he’ll sit next to the one person who’s thinking, ‘I don’t really like dogs,’ then he’ll roll over and show them his belly. He’s like a little moving teddy bear. He’s the sweetest thing.”

I’m sure her parents are excited about becoming grandparents! And if it weren’t for that “Hollywood thing” Natalie Portman is doing – she never would’ve met their future son-in-law!

Leighton Meester Depressed By Her Song Writing

 Leighton Meester Depressed By Her Song Writing

I had wondered if Leighton Meester was going to take her music career any further. She did some of the vocal on the Cobra Starship song Good Girls Go Bad, and then as far as mainstream music goes, we didn’t hear much from her again. But Leighton says that her songwriting is a little depressed and that she’s taking it easy.

After shooting Country Strong, she said,

“Because of this movie, I started doing that for myself and writing music that speaks to me and is from my heart and apparently, I’m really depressed.”

Her co-star in the movie, Gwyneth Paltrow, gifted her with a guitar!

“I just wrote a song at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The guitar has been a nice tool for me to be able to write. I want to release the music, but I’m not pressured to do it at the moment.”

And Leighton Meester also adds that she has a whole new respect for the genre of country music.

“It’s country music, it’s an entirely different world. I grew to love it, and I have this movie to thank for that.”

Nicole Kidman Opens Up To Jennifer Aniston For Harper’s Bazaar

 Nicole Kidman Opens Up To Jennifer Aniston For Harper’s Bazaar

Now this is unusual! Jennifer Aniston got the chance to turn the tables: rather than being interviewed, she became the interviewer, and she interviewed her ‘Just Go With It‘ co-star, Nicole Kidman, for Harper’s Bazaar.

Here are some snippets of what Nicole shared with Jennifer:

On meeting Keith Urban:

“I remember thinking, Oh, my God, if you ever gave me a man like that, I promise I would be completely devoted for the rest of my life. Something that wild. I remembered praying after I met him that I’d meet somebody, if not him, like him.”

On motherhood:

“I had kids at 25 and 27 [Isabella and Connor, Nicole’s adopted children with first husband Tom Cruise]. I think I have more patience now but less physical energy. It’s a trade-off: In your 20s, you’re bounding around, they’re attached at your hip, and you can just go and do anything. But I’m much more of a homebody now. My roots are deeper.”

On moving to Nashville:

“I love living a ways away. That’s what I’ve worked for in my career, to not have to live in Los Angeles. So it was fortuitous that Keith happened to live in Tennessee. He brought me down to this place called Leipers Fork, just outside of Nashville, very lush and rural. I just went aaah. You know how you dream as a girl; I’m one of those people. I would meet a guy, then I would imagine myself married and with kids within the first hour. [Laughs] But it worked out.”

You can read Jennifer’s entire interview with Nicole in the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar, which hits newsstands on January 18. I’ll be getting a copy, not just for the interview but also for more of these great pics!

 

Snooki Admits She Drinks A Lot

 Snooki Admits She Drinks A Lot

Really? Seriously? STOP the presses! ‘Jersey Shore’ star Snooki admitted to Ellen DeGeneres that she’s a heavy drinker.

“I want to remember my night and sometimes I just don’t,” she says. “It sucks. So you’re like. ‘What did I do? Why did I wake up in a garbage can.”

Snooki said her drinking binges used to happen once a month. I’m guessing it’s more often than that while shooting ‘Jersey Shore’! (In these pictures, she and new cast member Deena Cortese are drinking shots out of J-Woww’s belly button.) Notice she didn’t even mention cutting down on her drinking.

But Snooki also made another thing clear:

“I don’t want to be a role model.”

Yet she did tone things down in her new book, ‘A Shore Thing.’

“It’s a little vulgar,” she admitted of the based-on-real-life tome. “I actually toned it down because I know I have a lot of young fans who are like, 13, so I took a lot of swear words out. I don’t want to get them grounded or anything.”

That was thoughtful. I guess- LOL.

Should Toni Braxton Pose For Playboy?

 Should Toni Braxton Pose For Playboy?

It’s no secret that singer Toni Braxton has been experiencing financial difficulties (divorce, home foreclosure). Things must be getting desperate: she confessed on twitter that she’s considering posing for Playboy.

New Year, New opportunities. So I have been considering taking up Playboy’s offer to feature me on their cover this year. What you think?

Toni Braxton even shared some details about how she’d like the photospread to be (as well as what it would NOT be):

I would love to pose with Hugh Hefner though. He’s the sexiest guy I know over 30
Of course it will be tastefully done

There are NOT talking that kind of spread! No Susie!!!! Just a lil T and A. They have asked me about 3 times before.

I guess you have to do what you have to do, but I HATE to see things getting this bad for Toni Braxton! What do you think?

Kelly Osbourne Still Sees A Therapist Over Her Self-Image Issues

 Kelly Osbourne Still Sees A Therapist Over Her Self-Image Issues

I have to say, I’m happy to hear that Kelly Osbourne is still seeing her therapist to discuss her issues with her attitude towards herself and her weight. After all this talk about her losing over 50 lbs I’m glad that she’s discovered that being happy doesn’t just come from your outer appearance! Kelly spoke to Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine and said;

“I’m in therapy – it’s helped me in all areas of my life. There’s a huge mental factor in losing weight. It’s not just about getting on the treadmill. It’s about doing things to make you feel good about yourself.”

Kelly Osbourne credits her current weight loss to good old fashioned healthy eating and exercise, but also says that she’s tried every fad out there before to lose the weight;

“I’ve done everything – meal deliveries, milkshakes, diet pills, the juice diet, the maple syrup diet, even not eating at all. I’d do it for three days and if I didn’t feel a drastic change, I’d be like, ‘F**k this, I’m not doing that anymore.’ ”

Wow, that is pretty drastic! I’m happy that Kelly Osbourne has finally found a solution that works for her, but really it’s just common sense! Fortunately Kelly has the support of her mother, who has also had her own battle with her weight;

 “Mum’s been so supportive. She understood because she’s been there. When you’re a fat girl in Hollywood, it’s not fun. You never get looked at the way skinny girls do.”

I’m just happy that Kelly Osbourne is doing so well and is still getting therapy to deal with her self-image issues.

Julia Roberts Really Wants Javier Bardem To Get An Oscar Nomination

 Julia Roberts Really Wants Javier Bardem To Get An Oscar Nomination

Julia Roberts thinks that her Eat, Pray, Love co-star, Javier Bardem is so deserving of an Oscar nomination for his role in Biutiful that she even hosted a special screening of the movie for a select industry crowd, according to EW.com. Roberts spoke to EW and said of the reason why she thinks that Bardem has been mostly overlooked so far this awards season;

I think the movie hasn’t gotten the exposure. You don’t know where it is. It’s like this hidden little jewel. Especially in this particular season, people don’t hunt for things. They just take what you throw in their face.

Well I think that can be said about most seasons to be honest, it’s normally the movies with the biggest ‘campaign’s’ that tend to be the ones with the most nominations. When asked if she though Bardem will be able to score a best actor nod, she said;

If there’s not hope for talent, then we’re f—ed.

I haven’t seen Biutiful, so I can’t comment on whether he’s deserving or not of a nomination. Have you seen it, what do you think?

Gwyneth Paltrow Tells Rachael Ray: “Tom Cruise Was An Amazing Kisser”

 Gwyneth Paltrow Tells Rachael Ray: “Tom Cruise Was An Amazing Kisser”

Gwyneth Paltrow is out promoting her new flick “Country Strong” and took some time to sit down with Rachael Ray to dish about her children, Oscars, and her best movie co-star kiss.
On her which of her male co-stars is the best kisser:

I did a little cameo once at the beginning of “Austin Powers 3” I think it was, and I got to make out with Tom Cruise. He was an amazing kisser!

She shares what her kids, Moses and Apple, got for Christmas:

“A lot of Ben 10 for my son, a lot of Transformers, puzzles, Power Rangers. My daughter is all Calico Critters. Do you know these things? They’re like these little family of animals and they have a little family of hedgehogs, there’s a family of rabbits. You know, there’s all this stuff that comes with it. She’s obsessed with them! I have to say, my son is like finding the iPhone and finding Mario Brothers on the iPhone and I’m just worried that he’s going to be like a gamer and I’ll never get him to talk to me!”

On her kids’ personalities:

My son is really shy, but he sings all day long. But really quietly. And my daughter, she’s sort of more chatty and she’s really funny and she’s a great story teller. And they’re both very musical, they love music. They’re really into pop music, like top 40. They’re always singing Dynamite, all the time!

Rachael Ray asks her if she’d consider putting out an album and singing at the Oscars:

The answer is, I really don’t know. I’ve had such an incredible time doing this singing and it’s been so great, I don’t know how I would do it. I am definitely thinking about it, but I haven’t saddled on how I would do it.

RR: Would you be comfortable doing a big performance at the Oscars?

Maybe with some Xanax! I’ve learned never to say never at this point in my career. If you told me that I would’ve been playing the Country Music Awards, I would have said never.

You can catch the full interview when the show airs this Friday!

Camille Grammer Will Not Return For A Second Season Of ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’

 Camille Grammer Will Not Return For A Second Season Of ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’

Camille Grammer has had her fill of reality television, it seems. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Camille will not be signing on for a second season of the hit show “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills“.

Camille Grammer has been under the microscope about her parenting – including why she needs four nannies to take care of 2 children – and also about her friendship with a married tennis instructor, and her fight with co-star Kyle Richards. So, she has decided to call it quits.

The network hasn’t officially ordered a second season of the show, but sources tell THR that Camille Grammer has no interest at all in returning.

Maybe part of it is due to the fact that she certainly won’t need the paycheck once her divorce is finalized.

New ‘Jersey Shore’ Cast Member Deena Cortese Doesn’t Hold Back

 New ‘Jersey Shore’ Cast Member Deena Cortese Doesn’t Hold Back

Season 3 of “Jersey Shore” kicks off tomorrow night and viewers will get a look at the newest housemate Deena Cortese. Deena, who was already friends with Snooki before being cast on the show, shared with Life & Style a little bit of what we can expect from her.
She’s boldly honest about her private life:

“The most guys I’ve hooked up with in one night is probably three,”

As you can guess, dating isn’t really her thing:

“People consider me a man-eater. I don’t really like dating, though. Dates can be so awkward!”

Deena Cortese says she doesn’t like the “juice heads” like Snooki does, she prefers a man who’s a bit thinner – what she calls a “lean cuisine”:

“They’re guys who have nice muscles on them but aren’t too big. They go to the gym, but they’re not juiced-up. Pauly D would be a lean cuisine. Mike too, not Ronnie.”

Her motto isn’t GTL:

“Mine is GTS — for gym, tanning, shopping. Or GTD — gym, tanning, drinking.”

Sounds like she’s going to make quite a colorful addition to the show, right? Did you watch season 2? Was it enough to keep you waiting on season 3? There wasn’t a big gap between them, was there?
