Rob Lowe In Deep Nanny Scandal

Rob Lowe, currently on ABC's Brothers and Sisters, is under heavy fire these days from either some very bitter nannies , or some very mistreated nannies under his employ. Now a second lawsuit has been filed against Rob Lowe by another nanny,Laura Boyce. Boyce filed a lawsuit Wednesday also alleging wrongful termination, among other things.

Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents both ex- nannies in their lawsuits against Lowe and his wife, claims the nannies are telling the truth and that sexual abuse did occur. The Lowes are denying the accusations wholeheartedly.

Lowe, 44, and his wife Sheryl, 46, tried to act preemptively by filing lawsuits against Boyce and two other ex-employees on April 7. They claim they're the victims of an attempted $1.5 million extortion scheme, led by their former nanny, Jessica Gibson, 24.

A week later, Gibson filed a counter suit, alleging the actor repeatedly exposed himself and inappropriately touched her. Gibson worked for the couple off and on for seven years, having voluntarily quit twice, according to the Lowes.

Ack. I hope the allegations are not true. I guess time and depositions will tell.

John Mayer And Jennifer Aniston Make A Great Couple!

I love these two together, and am so happy for Jennifer, especially! John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston look cozy and content in pictures taken while the two spent a romantic weekend in Miami.

John Mayer flew to Miami April 23rd to visit his new love, Jennifer Aniston, who has been in Miami filming her latest movie, "Marley and Me".

In Touch Weekly has photos of Mayer and Aniston's weekend, and they look perfect together!

Paula Abdul and Idol gots some 'splainin to do!

After Paula Abdul's slip last night, I'm thinking we are not really seeing an authentic show. I know...I'm naive. I don't think it was that Paula was high (though it's certainly one excuse), I think that the judges watch rehearsals and make up their critiques at that time. Paula showed last night that she wasn't even tuned in to the performances....where her mind was, who knows. But it certainly wasn't on Jason Castro.

But it was strange how Paula read her notes. It was if she didn't write the notes herself either. She stuttered over words and acted like she didn't even know what she was reading. The whole thing was off. Could Paula have had a stand-in at rehearsal, who wrote up a critique for Paula to use later on the show?

American Idol is looking kind of bad. How can a judge, who obviously has no clue about what's going on, have any influence on who wins? Poor Jason..written off before he even sang his second song.

Paula...you got some 'splainin to do!

DWTS Karina Smirnoff Still Living With Mario Lopez

There is no trouble in Paradise, according to Dancing With The Stars Professional dancer, Karina Smirnoff.

Karina and Mario Lopez were teamed up together on last season's "Dancing With The Stars", and their relationship became a romantic one, though neither admited it until recently.

Rumors have swirled around the net that the couple, currently living together in Mario's LA Home, were breaking up and that Karina was moving out.

But according to Karina, she and Mario are doing just fine.

Cristian de la Fuente To Have Surgery But Stays On DWTS

Christian was back on tonight's elimination show of Dancing With The Stars, sore arm and all. Last night Cristian somehow injured his arm in the middle of a dance number with partner Cheryl Burke.

It looked painful and I really thought Cristian had broken his arm. His face looked shocked and immediately immersed in pain last night as he held his arm while till trying to complete the dance.

Ouch. Cristian was gone before the show ended....taken by ambulance to the emergency room. And I have waited and wondered all day what really happened so suddenly to Cristian's arm??

Tonight we know the answer. Cristian explained that he ruptured a tendon in his left bicep while dancing the samba with Cheryl Burke and is going to need surgery to fully repair the injury. But...good news...the operation can wait. And this is good news for Cristian and Cheryl as they survived Tuesday night's elimination round.

But I wonder how he will be able to dance with an arm that he obviously could not move tonight. Again I say, Ouch! And Cristian, good luck to you and please be careful with that arm!

Derek Hough Shannon Elizabeth Leave The Dance Floor

Well, it seems that an apology or two in hindsight doesn't always work. I think everyone had enough of the tempermental "are they or aren't they?" couple, Derek Hough and his celebrity dance partner, Shannon Elizabeth. The two were eliminated on Tuesday night's Dancing With The Stars Result show.

I, for one, am happy to see Hough and Elizabeth depart. I liked Derek in the past, never really paid any attention to Shannon Elizabeth before this season's DWTS, but the two together? ack. Derek seems to have lost all sense just being in the presence of Shannon. Shame.

It was interesting, for a minute, to speculate if the Dancing With The Stars couple had become a romance or just a show-mance for publicity.

It was ridiculous to see Shannon crying over the judges remarks about her hips ( and this break down came after, hips or not, the judges handed out eights to the couple).

It was obnoxious and totally out of line to hear Derek Hough's rant against the judges and fellow contestants because he and Shannon were so upset with their "8's"!

It was meaningless to hear Derek Hough's apology which was as meager an apology as one could be, while in Las Vegas with Shannon to see her movie premiere of "Deal". Uh, gee Derek, worried about how the voting would go this week? Guess you were right to be concerned!

Silly is how I describe Shannon's pathetic attempts at a humble apology on Monday night's DWTS show, with Derek sitting by her side and silently mouthing his share of apologizing to viewers as well.

Bye bye Derek and Shannon. Justified is how I think their exit off the dance floor tonight is.

Adam Wins Big Brother 9

Well Ryan, was it just you, or did Chelsia's obvious dislike of your girlfriend, Jen, cost you the big money?

I think it's safe to say that last night's finale episode of BB9 showed that the jury was not about to hand Ryan, and his girlfriend Jen, the half million. Ryan did not waiver in his commitment to Jen, and said so in reply to Chelsia's questioning about the their relationship and what the future would bring. Jen, herself a former contestant of BB9 and an early evictee, did not win over the other housemates during her stay on Big Brother, and I think that ultimately cost Ryan the money.

The jury almost seemed like they were going to choose "Rye-Bread" over Adam when CBS showed the ousted contestants talking over their options together. When the actual questioning started, Adam answered his questions almost belligerently and arrogantly. Ryan seemed a bit more humble, but too gushy and didn't keep in mind the jury's dislike of Jen.

Sheila gave Adam a hard time for not taking her to the Final Two, but I thought Adam answered Sheila well by reminding her that he did get her to the Final Three, and had to do a lot of negotiating and lying to do so. And Adam insisted he did not throw the final HOH ( and I don't think he did...but no one will ever know)just so that Ryan could be the one to evict Sheila.

Adam won in a big way...all jurors voted for him but Josh. And, true to his word in the house, Adam donated $100,000 of his winnings to an Autism Charity! Nice!

So Ryan got the $50,000..and the girl? Maybe or maybe not. Will Jen stick around with only $50,000 instead of the $500,000? Jen never seemed too thrilled or proud of Ryan, but he never seemed to notice ( although everyone else did!).

A last twist of the game was when Julie announced there would be a prize awarded of $25,000 for "fan favorite". James won tat, which seemed to make Chelsia awfully happy?!

Best part of the show...the footage of Josh "fake crying" to Adam.....hilarious!

Congrats Adam!

Britney's Back To Work!

Britney Spears will begin filming her second appearance on "How I met Your Mother" on Monday.

The episode should be shown on May 12, with Britney Spears continuing her role as Abby. Titled “Everything Must Go,” the episode finds Spears and Neil Patrick Harris’s character, Barney, flaunting their “relationship” in front of Josh Radnor’s character, Ted. Desperately seeking a response, Barney pops a surprising question to Abby.

"How I Met Your Mother"’s executive producer and co-creator Craig Thomas said, “We’re all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again. And just to head it off at the pass this time around: Yes, Mom, Britney’s very nice and no, I can’t get her autograph for you.”

Spears’s initial guest turn — on a March 24 episode — earned critical praise and the show’s highest ratings.

Big Brother 9 Jury Members Decide Winner Tonight

Adam looks like the front runner for the half- million dollars but you never know. After Sharon Obermueller's eviction last Tuesday night, the members of the jury were able to watch Sharon's eviction footage, and figured out that Ryan had ok'ed the eviction. This is important (only if you are a BB9 Fan) because Sharon had believed Ryan was on her side and did not want her evicted. With the cat out of the bag, that Ryan and Adan were actually in cahoots over Sharon's eviction, I'd say it's likely Ryan lost some votes.

But you never know!

Sheila, the former Penthouse model and single mother from Reseda, was the last competitor to be evicted. The vote will probably come down to Sheila tonight. Will she stay true to Adam, or switch her vote to Ryan?

The jury apparently threw some punches while doing the jury's question and answer session with Adam and Ryan, which hopefully we'll get to see a good portion of tonight. If the final two were expecting love and stuff from their former house mates, they certainly didn't get much of it during that session.

Big Brother Finale is tonight at 8pm on channel 2.

NBC Thankfully Says No Apprenticeship For OJ Simpson

Thank goodness sense reigns at NBC! Unlike Donald Trump, who reportedly was intrigued by the idea of OJ Simpson appearing as a contestant on "The Apprentice", NBC has said decisively "No Way!"

News was leaking out last week that apparently The Don and OJ were both toying with the plan to have Simpson on Apprentice Celebrity as a contestant.

Simpson and two co-defendants are currently scheduled to stand trial on felony charges that include kidnapping and armed robbery beginning September 8. All three men have pleaded not guilty. The charges come from an incident where Simpson and two others allegedly broke into a sports memorabilia dealer's Las Vegas hotel room to recover memorabilia that Simpson claims had originally been stolen from him.

Celebrity Apprentice will go on without Simpson (sorry Donald!), with the second installment to air next January.

"Sexy" Mama Jessica Lopez On Top 5 List

Jessica Alba landed the number two spot on FHM Magazine's list of The Top 100 Sexiest Women of 2008.

Not bad for a mommy-to-be! Alba is second, according to the Magazine, only to Megan Fox, co-star of the Transformers movie.

Jessica's Baby Bump is absolutely adorable and BIG! Looks like Jessica will be starting her new role as mommy pretty darn soon ( reports say about a month till due day!).

DWTS Derek HoughTakes Foot Out Of His Mouth

Derek Hough apologized for his ranting and raving the other night on Dancing With The Stars. Hough said he was caught up in the moment..and he and dancing/lover/girlfriend/whatever partner Shannon Elizabeth were taking the dancing competition too seriously.

Derek and Shannon were in Las Vegas Thursday night for the premiere of Shannon's movie, "Deal". That's where Derek told "People" that “I regret it a little because it wasn’t intended for the competitors, so I regret that I may have offended them a little.”

Sounds like an "apology" Hough really didn't want to make, if you ask me. I'm sure he's trying to save some face and votes for this coming week's Dancing With The Stars' Episode.

Reality TV Makes Room For Kelly Ripa and Family

Who doesn't have a reality TV show these days? Kelly Ripa and her hubby, Mark Consuelos, have signed on with TLC to co-produce and star in a reality-based TV show. Kelly has such cute kids, not to mention that hubby of hers. I have to admit I kind of want to see this show. But my goodness, this girl is HOT stuff right now! Have you seen her "Electrolux" commercials? That is a sweet nation-wide advertising deal Ripa signed up for. Not to mention her morning gig co-hosting "Regis and Kelly Live!".

Kelly basically got her start playing the character, "Haley" on ABC's soap, "All My Children". She met Mark Consuelos on that set, and the two later married. Signing the deal with TLC must feel just like old times for Kelly and hubby Mark; TLC President Angela Shapiro-Mathes was their boss back in their "All My Children" days.

The couple have three children: Michael, 10, Lola, nearly 7 and Joaquin, 5. Their production is called "MiLoJo"....cute!

You'd think this petite thing would be exhausted with so much happening in her life. Nah...look at that picture of Kelly and Mark....color me green.

David Beckam Jersey Causing Turmoil In Hawaii

Aw. Poor David thought he was doing a nice thing...and actually he was!

According to The Honolulu Advertiser, the jersey problems began after Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy played a Feb. 22 game at Aloha Stadium. Two boys, aged 9 and 10, had "clamored" throughout he game for Beckham's attention and held up "Go Beckham" and "Aloha Beckham" signs.

Guess the two boys got his attention because at the end of the game, David Beckham gave them a jersey. But there would be no sharing this jersey, friends or not.

One family says it's theirs because their son got it first. The other family says they get it, because only their son held his sign aloft the entire game.

According to The Honolulu Advertiser, the two families in Hawaii are on the brink of going to court to settle their sons' fight over the David Beckham jersey.

Uh, David, maybe you could send one more jersey to Hawaii? Or better yet, maybe the two families can learn to share.

Gary Coleman Headed For TV Divorce Court

Gary Coleman and his wife, Shannon Price are not happy, it would seem. The two are headed to TV's Divorce Court hoping to get marital advice from none other than Judge Toler himself.

Apparently Gary has a bit of a temper. Seems that when he gets upset, he bangs his head against a wall. And this is annoying wife Shannon.

The episode is set to air May 1st. Hope the 'counseling session' helps the troubled couple!

Tom Cruise Returning To Oprah's Couch

May Sweeps has Oprah worried I guess. The show is bringing Tom Cruise back for not one, but two shows. And no couches will be present I'm told (just kidding).

Tom's last memorable visit to the Oprah stage featured Cruise jumping up and down repeatedly on Oprah's couch back in 2005. All the while blabbering about his love for then girlfriend, Katie Holmes, whom of course he is now married to and has daughter Suri with.

The two episodes are celebrating (ack) the 25 years of CRuise's career (again...ack!). One part will be done in studio with an audience (woot) and the other part at Cruise's home, where viewers will be treated to a tour.

I don't have the exact date for you Cruise fans, but I'll post it as soon as I can!

Right.

Wesley Snipes Headed To Jail For Three Years

Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison on tax charges Thursday, a victory for prosecutors who sought to make an example of the action star by aggressively pursuing the maximum penalty.

Snipes' lawyers had spent much of the day in court offering dozens of letters from family members, friends — even fellow actors Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington — attesting to the good character of the "Blade" star and asking for leniency. They argued he should get only probation because his three convictions were all misdemeanors and the actor had no previous criminal record.

U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges said Snipes exhibited a "history of contempt over a period of time" for U.S. tax laws, and granted prosecutors the three year sentence they requested — one year for each of Snipes' convictions of willfully failing to file a tax return.

Snipes remains free right now, and reports say Snipes will be notified when heis to turn himself in.

Engagement News For Carmen Electra

Carrie Underwood On Cover of InStyle Magazine

Carrie Underwood graces the May cover of InStyle Magazine, and gives a fun and interesting interview.

Though Underwood says she has been cheated on before ( she gives no names), the singer says she wouldn't follow the lyrics in her song, "Before He Cheats" about a woman who trashes her boyfriend's truck.

What does Carrie do when she is blue or has relationship woes? Eats ice cream....especially Sundaes!

Does she worry about weight and body image? Absolutely. Underwood says she counts calories, fat and fiber, especially the fiber as she notes that makes one feel fuller.

I love Carrie Underwood, and I'm excited about her cover and interview....the issue is due out Friday.

A Happy Britney

Britney Spears is really working hard at Bally's these days, and she is working hard at rebuilding her relationship with her little boys. And all Britney's hard work is paying off. She is looking great these days, and smiling oh so much more than just a few months ago.

Good for you Britney!

Ashlee Stays "Mum" On The Baby Talk

So Ashlee Simpson won't say if she is pregnant or not. Yet. Ashlee did promise Ellen Degeneres...pinky swear, mind you, that if Simpson is indeed pregnant she will not try and hide the news from the public as long as J-Lo did.

Fine. I guess we wait and see. Either way, Ashlee is looking very happy these days.

The Ellen episode with Ashlee is set to air Thursday.

American Idol Done For Carly Smithson

I am not surprised somehow that Carly was the contestant to leave the American Idol stage last night. I know Brooke messed up her song in a big way Tuesday night, yet there was just this thing with Carly... somehow she was not connecting enough with the audience and TV viewers.

But her voice is pretty awesome, and Carly Smithson was gracious in her goodbye to Idol. I guess there really is something about stage persona and Carly just didn't win over people. Michael Johns was much more of a shocker in my eyes to see eliminated so early on, I thought he connected with viewers, but apparently not.

There seems to be a niche a singer must fit into to stay on that Idol stage. There is the "tweens" niche, the "young male singer that's attractive and sings well", the "sweetheart" niche, and the "cute, sexy(ish), almost heart throbbish niche". David Archuleta would be in the Tween niche. David Cook would be the "young male singer" niche, Brooke White...definitely the "Sweetheart niche", and Jason Castro, the "cute and sexy" niche. And Syesha? I don't think she really has a niche. And will probably go next week.

Next week is Neil Diamond week. I pretty sure the 11 year old vote will keep David A in, and David C is on track to winning Idol, I believe. Jason will probably keep getting the young teen vote...13 and up ....who would love a poster of the dread locked singer on their bedroom walls, Brooke will maybe stay on with the vote of everyone in love with her sweetness, and Syesha is going to be the one to leave next week. My guesses...but who knows...it is "American Idol", and you just never know.

OJ Simpson...The Next Apprentice??

Please let this be some horrible rumor that has no basis?

Could it be that OJ Simpson is deluded enough to want to appear on TV as a contestant on Donal Trump's, "The Apprentice"?

Could it be that Donald Trump is sooooo all about money and ratings that he is actually considering such a travesty?

There are reports actually surfacing that OJ and Trump are considering an 'Apprentice' deal.

Now, here's my thinking...would advertisers actually support this idea? I highly doubt it!

Would the families of Nicole and Ron let this actually happen without some legal intervention of some sort?

And would Donald Trump survive the public fallout from such a decision?

Or would, sadly enough, this actually be a ratings coup for The Don?


My last thought....can you imagine working next to OJ Simpson as a fellow contestant on "The Apprentice"?

No More Wedded Bliss For Star Jones

It's Over. The so called "fairy-tale" marriage that Star Jones gushed about back in 2004 is over. The wedding brought criticism at the time because Star Jones invited corporate sponsors and turned the ceremony into a media event complete with 500 guests.

Jones did not win much public support with her show of flash and apparent greed, but she tried to explain that the wedding was just her fantasy coming true. Whatever.

Anyway, Jones has filed for divorce from Al Reynolds. Anyone surprised that it lasted this long?

Dancing With The Stars, Idol, And Big Brother Recaps

Busy night last night on TV. Here's a quick recap.

American Idol: Andrew Lloyd Webber Night.

Brooke: Aw. That may be the last song for Brooke. She sang "You must Love Me", but had to stop and start again when she forgot the lyrics. I know she is loved by many viewers, and has stayed on week after week, but last night's performance might be one that sends her home.

Syesha Mercado: Wowed the judges and got praise from Simon who labeled her performance "Very Sexy!". She should stay tonight.


David Cook: Sang "Music of The Night". He did a great job and made all three judges happy. I wasn't particularly jumping up and down with it, but he is good. Sure he will stay tonight as well.


Carly: Ack. I am not a fan for some reason, but she sang "Jesus Christ Superstar", and did well, according to the judges. Would't mind if she left, but she will probably stay due to Brooke's mess up.

David Archuleta: Randy called David "The One To Beat" after his performance of "Think of Me". Hmm...you just never know what voters will do though....


Jason Castro: Not a good performance with his poor selection of "Memory", but his cute personna and dreadlocks may buy him another week.


Big Brother

No Big Surprises last night. Ryan missed the opportunity to take Sharon off the block and put up Adam. Ryan really trusted Adam to vote off Sheila, but guess what Ryan...Adam and Sheila are tight. Yep, Adam kept Sheila, and voted out Sharon.

Next the three stated the final HOH competition...which is endurance.

So its Adam, Ryan, and Sheila. My guess is that Ryan no longer trusts Adam, but will act like he'll take Adam over Sheila to the final two, should he win HOH. And Adam will do basically the same thing with Ryan.

So do you think Sheila is safely in the position to win at least second place?


Dancing With The Stars?

Well, most people called this one, I think. Marlee Matlin was voted off. Wow. I am so impressed by that woman. And true to fom, Marlee was as graceful as ever in saying her good byes.

Now..not so graceful were the "Showmance/Romance" couple, Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth. Talk about your poor sports! Ack. Elizabeth cried buckets over the judges comments of their dance last week (and the two scored 8's...and you're crying boo-hoo??), and lover, oops, partner, Derek Hough most assuredly lost the respect of fellow contestants with his insinuations against the other couples mistakes not being called on by the judges. He is making himself look very bad with his infatuation, er, puppy love, for spoiled Shannon Elizabeth.

Hopefully Hough and Elizabeth will be dancing their way out the door next week. I am done with them.

Jamie Lynn, Baby Bump, and House Hunting??

I have to say Jamie is sporting one cute baby bump there. It looks like mommy-to-be Spears is taking her new role seriously, which is a very good thing.

There are some reports that Jamie and fiance Casey Aldridge are shopping for a new home. I don't really know if this is true or just rumor.

And will Baby Spears-Aldridge have blue blankies or frilly pink ones? Has Auntie Britney done some Blue Shopping lately? I guess time will tell for sure.

Aw....Matt Damon Looks Like Such a Happy Daddy

Matt Damon must be tied around his little girl's finger! Such a cutie. Damon and his wife, Luciana, returned to Miami and look like they are almost ready for baby number two to arrive!

Dancing With The Stars Has Romance In The Air

Shannon and Derek....are they or aren't they? If the answer is "no", then they are an amazing team overflowing with sizzling chemistry, that's for sure!

But after watching Hough and Elizabeth on Dancing With The Stars last night, I'd have to say the answer is "Heck Yes!"

Real couple, Real feelings, Real Kisses? DWTS Co-host Samantha Harris tried her best to get the starry-eyed couple to tell everyone "Just how close" they've become, but Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough didn't give up much.

Their performance, while sizzling with pure chemistry that can't be denied, garnered "8"s from all judges, who remained somewhat critical of Elizabeth's technique.

Showmance or Real Romance? I wonder if Shannon Elizabeth's boyfriend knows the answer?

Miley Pictures Take Two

I don't know. Is too much being made out of the latest batch of Miley Cyrus Pictures (aka Disney's Hannah Montana) to hit the Internet? Some are saying it might not even be Disney's "Golden Girl" in the photos.

The pics, in case you haven't seen them yet, really show very little, but yet enough to start the controversy among Cyrus fans and critics.

Miley is shown with a teasing piece of her bra peeping out from her top, a bare midriff, and some cuddling with a boy. Hmmm...worthy of outrage? I guess that is up to each and every person that takes a look at the pictures to decide.

Either way, this is more publicity for the wonderkin, known as Miley, but is this a good thing or a bad thing? Can we ask Disney Execs what they think?

Kristi Yamaguchi Is The One To Beat

Poor Kristi. All the other Dancing With The Stars contestants are out for blood. Heh. Good luck, wannabes. Kristy Yamaguchi is wiping up the dance floor on DWTS this season, and as hot in the shoes as the other contestants get, I seriously doubt any are going to pass up Kristy.

But I guess it is better to never say never. One really never knows what will happen, right? But it is funny to see all the promos for tonight's episode of Dancing With The Stars promising "A Rumble"...and the dancing celebs promising to show Kristy a thing or two.

Should be a fun show tonight. The couples have two dances to perform each tonight. Watch your back Kristy...some of your competitors are sounding kind of bitter!

Birthday Party Kate Hudson Style

Sweet 29th! Kate Hudson enjoyed her birthday with boyfriend Owen Wilson and his parents on Saturday in Miami.

Birthday festivities began with a long leisurely lunch with the Owen entourage and birthday girl of honor, Hudson, at Lario's on South Beach.

Moving on, the birthday festivities included a dinner with Owen and Kate's girlfriends, at Ago at the Shore Club.

Bringing an end to the day, was a rendezvous at Skybar at the Shore Club, where reports say the two were kissing and laughing poolside, and were basically "lovey -dovey"

Aw. . Sounds like a perfect day for the birthday girl indeed.

Justin Timberlake Consoles Ex-Girlfriend, Cameron

Cameron Diaz celebrated her father's life this past weekend at a memorial service for Emilio Diaz.

In keeping with that exuberant Diaz family spirit, guests arrived at the memorial service at Mahe in Seal Beach in non-traditional garb. "Most people started arriving at 1:30 and hardly no one wore black," says a source."Lots of people were wearing Hawaiian shirts. It looked more like a party."

Justin Timberlake and singer John Mayer were among the guests paying their respects, and supporting Cameron. Timberlake and Mayer have each been romantically connected with Cameron Diaz previously.

Britney's Back!

Things are just surging full steam ahead for Britney Spears it seems. After her well-reviewed appearance on the sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother", Britney will be back to do a second show.

Not sure how the shows' star, Neil Patrick Harris, really feels about Spears return engagement. Harris has previously made some less than enthusiastic comments regarding Britney and other celebs appearances on the sitcom.

But producers are extremely happy with "Round Two" with Brit-- ratings soared when Spears was on the show the first time.

Between Britney's possible deal with Bally's to be their spokesperson,her TV appearances, and her all around the "net" smiles we are seeing in the blogosphere these days, it sure looks like we are seeing a new and revitalized Britney Spears!

Sandra Bullock OK After Driving Accident

Ryan Wins Natalie Loses

The Big Brother 9 House is without Natalie . The talkative, superstitious and definitely manipulative BB9 contestant was voted out last night. The eviction vote was divided between Nat's "two boys", Ryan and Adam (aka "Baller"). Ryan voted to evict Nat, while Adam voted to evict Sharon. HOH Sheila broke the tie by evicting a tearful Natalie.

Ryan wind the HOH competition and takes the reign as the new Head of Household.

Kristy Swoons Simon as She Departs the Idol Stage

Kristy Lee Cook was eliminated on American Idol last night. After Ryan Seacrest finished playing "musical groups" with the nervous contestants, the final two left standing were Kristy and Brooke White. Kristy ended her Idol run by singing her farewell song while perched atop the judges table, directly in front of the somewhat embarrassed (but probably delighted inside) Simon Cowell.
The night included a "Tugging Heart Strings" performance by Elliot Yamin, whose mom recently passed away. On Yamin's hand, was the written message "We Miss You Mom".
Mariah Carey swayed the audience and judges with her voice, and undoubtedly those legs of hers!
No real shockers last night. Just the same old Ryan trying to be as annoying as always as he tried to cause the contestants as much angst as he could.

Standing O For American Idol Contestant

WOW! Did you see the "O" last night on Idol for contestant, David Cook? Randy, of all people, stood up after Cook finished his brilliant performance of Mariah Carey's, "Always Be My Baby". It really was worthy of the standing ovation, and the words of praise the judges gave David.

A touching moment for me was seeing Daivd's brother sitting in the audience with family members. I think you could feel David's love for his ill brother in his eyes as he sang his song last night.

Best wishes to the Cook family.

Bethenny Speaks Out About Her New York Real Housewives CoStars

There is an interesting interview in People.com with Bethenny from Bravo's "The Real Housewives Of New York" reality show.

Bethenny says she was picked to be on the show after her friend, Jill, asked her to meet the producers. Of course Jill is the Jill from The New York Housewives Show, and according to Bethenny, the one housewife she herself is really friendly with off the air.

Asked about her boyfriend, Bethenny pretty much gushes that he is a great guy, but very uncomfortable about being on television. Hence, the kind of strained uncomfortable situation we viewers watched unfold the night Bethenny brought up moving in together with him.

What does she think about housewife Alex? Bethenny reveals she does not see Alex off the set. Guess there is no real friendship there....

And her thoughts on "Countess LuAnne" and requesting Bethenny's staff address her as "Countess de la Seppes"? Bethenny while her staff is like family to her, it is a case of 'to each her own'.

No real juicy tidbits here, no mudslinging or name-calling. Just some pretty tame answers from your not so average and not yet a " Housewife" from New York.
