Oprah Snags Sarah Palin Interview
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, News,
Oh what a difference a year makes.
Two of the biggest female names of 2008 will finally be sitting down for a chat in 2009. Mark your calendars: November 16 will be the date Sarah Palin has her first one-on-one with Oprah Winfrey.
Before last November’s elections, Oprah - who publicly endorsed Barack Obama - had been accused of showing favoritism because she chose not to welcome the VP candidate on her show. Winfrey’s reason? She didn’t want to use her program as a political platform. (Although President Obama had been a guest on her program, his appearances came before he decided to run for office.) Unfortunately, Oprah’s explanation didn’t satisfy many of her female fans.

American Idol Tell-All: A Real Possibility?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
Rumors have been brewing for years that someone is penning an American Idol tell-all that will divulge all the dirty details many viewers already suspect. One blogger claims to have a “tipster” who has new information on the rumored tome.
The book is reportedly being penned by an ex-employee of the popular reality series. According to the unnamed source, juicy details to be featured in the upcoming novel include: “medication/drug issues of Paula” and details about her “two gallon-size Ziploc bags full of orange prescription bottles, as well as dozens of loose pills at the bottom of each bags.”
It will also describe details about Idol plants, long rumored but scarcely confirmed, and deals they have “worked out with the show” that allow them to “avoid the audition process.” Another tidbit tells us that the book will also delve into song choice and producer persuasion therein, suggesting that some contestants are forcibly compelled to change their choices.
But this is not the first time these rumors have surfaced - nor the first time someone was supposed to be writing a book about them. Is the American Idol tell-all a real possibility…or just another TV show myth? Doesn’t it make more sense to believe that any ex-employees of the show who might have some sensitive information have long since signed non-disclosure agreements?

How I Met Your Mother Publishes The Bro Code
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip, News,
Forget Robin Sparkles videos. The creators of How I Met Your Mother will soon be putting out something far more culturally significant: The Bro Code.
Those who followed Season 3 remember The Bro Code was something Barney Stimson (Neil Patrick Harris) violated when he ended up sleeping with Ted’s ex. Hoping to repair the relationship with his “bro”, Barney seeks Marshall’s legal help.
In the episode, we learned more about Stimson’s “list of Dos and Don’ts for all bros.” (You can see that clip from “The Goat” after the jump.) Articles in the book - which supposedly originated from a conversation between George Washington and Benjamin Franklin - include:
Article #1: Bros before Hos.
Article #34: Bros can not make eye contact during a ‘Devil’s Three-Way.’ (Two dudes.)
Article #89: The mom of a bro is always off-limits but the stepmom of a bro is fair game if she initiates it and/or is wearing at least one article of leopard print clothing.

The Rise And Fall Of Britney Spears: Who’s To Blame?
Forget about Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. The year 2007 belonged to Britney Spears. And not in a, “Hey, Britney Spears is the sexiest women alive and sold a lot of records” kind of way. No, it’s more like, “Hey, Britney Spears split from her back-up dancer husband, had her disgusting hoo-ha and c-section scar plastered all over the internet, shaved all her hair off, lost custody of her children and had a comeback performance/album that bombed.” Yeah, she’s had that kind of year. And frankly, I’m pretty freakin’ tired of seeing her face every time I turn on the TV or go online and having to listen to every step of the “Britney custody saga” reported as legitimate news.
This woman is a disaster. Let’s make that point very clear from the outset. She is clearly a very unstable woman in need of some very serious help, and she’s not getting it. And now that it’s being reported that yet another member of the Spears clan has her tin-roof rusted, I think we need to take a step back and take a look at the big picture. Who is really to blame for the downfall of one of the biggest names and faces in, not only music, but pop culture as a whole? Who is responsible for the destruction of Britney Spears?

MONDAY (12/3)
- The Closer (TNT, 8pm): The special two-hour holiday episode brings Brenda’s parents into the investigative fold. Nothing says Christmas like talking blood with your blood.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): (NOTE: This is the last new episode left.) ‘Peter squares off against former friends thanks to Adam’s confusing story about the Shanti virus.’ He shouldn’t fault Adam; the confusing storyline is to blame.
- K-Ville (FOX, 9pm): ‘Boulet and Cobb investigate an insurance adjuster’s murder.’ As if there weren’t enough people in New Orleans with a motive.
- Life (NBC, 10pm): (First half of the two-parter; 2nd half airs Wednesday). ‘Evidence points to Reese’s father in the murders that sent Crews to prison.’ I’m guessing this won’t be resolved anytime soon…otherwise, we wouldn’t have a show.

Rosie O’Donnell Joining MSNBC?
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Prime Time, Talk Shows, Cable, NBC, Rumors,
Sounds like Rosie O’Donnell is turning lemons into lemonade since she left The View. The once nicey-nice daytime talk show host turned controversial table talker of The View is in negotiations with MSNBC to have her own talk show again. Could it be true? And if it is, will people tune in? If this is a go, she will host a prime time show opposite Larry King. Well heck, anything has to be better than Larry King, right? Not so fast… nothing is a done deal yet and in fact NBC is not confirming any details, nor is her rep commenting about the possible show. But Rosie did give a hint at a recent book signing, saying that her competition would soon be “the guy with the suspenders and the long, long face.” Do you think this show has a chance of getting off the ground? You’ll be able to catch O’Donnell on the small screen again as Dawn Budge on FX’s Nip/Tuck. And you may recall she came this close to landing the hosting gig on The Price is Right. Thankfully, Drew Carey was the big winner on that front.

Trump and O’Donnell: The Battle of the Books
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, NBC, Apprentice, The - Donald, Gossip,
In a veritable literary tug-of-war, Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump are calling attention to their public feud once more. This month, the news is that O’Donnell’s book gets personal, lashing out at Trump with insults that sound almost as clever as those heard on grade school playgrounds. Next month, the news will be focused on The Donald…when he adds fuel to the fire with his own new book. Just a reminder: we’re talking about two professional, career-minded, highly successful adults. O’Donnell’s insults include calling Trump a “slug” and mentioning his famous comb-over. Trump’s book, Think Big and Kick Ass, hits the shelves in October, and the Apprentice host has already stated he devoted some time to Rosie in the book.

Stephen Colbert: The Book
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Talk Shows, Cable, Daily Show, The, Gossip,
You’ve seen the TV show. You’ve checked out the web site. But you haven’t seen anything yet. The former Daily Show correspondent-turned mega-Comedy Central celebrity made the world laugh with witty observations and wholly invented words, Stephen Colbert is perhaps best known for his no-holds-barred approach to interviewing celebs, writers, and political candidates. Colbert’s book I Am America (And So Can You!) is set to hit the shelves this fall, and the Colbert Nation is anticipating the event. In an Entertainment Weekly interview, Stephen Colbert said that he embodies America – those who want to do the same can read the book. He also asked fans not to lend the book – heroes buy. Colbert said the book serves as a Constitution for the Colbert Nation, which is the appellation he has coined for his many, many fans. America as seen through the eyes of Colbert…are you ready, nation?
