Buh Bye Frappuccino! How Britney Got Back In Shape

10:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Though we may go back and forth on whether we want our MTV, one thing we can all agree on is that we want a Dirt Sandwich. Like your favourite music channel in its heyday, it’s packed with pop stars (Britney! Sanjaya!), celebrity antics (Bill Murray skydiving) and even the occasional bit of sobering news (Christina Applegate’s mastectomy). And that whole “quick-cut MTV editing” thing? We got that, too. Sit back, put down your remote control, and let Molly McAleer take you on a psychedelic trip through the world of celebrity infotainment that would make even a Radiohead video seem banal. And if you don’t watch? Katherine Heigl is gonna point and laugh at you. WATCH VIDEO More »

Wendy Williams’ Advice to a Recovering Christina Applegate: Dump Jennifer Aniston

8:10AM Defamer Hollywood | We apologise for being late arrivals on the Wendy Williams train — in all fairness, it’s a ride that ends more often in trainwreck than not. But oh, what a glorious trainwreck it usually is! The gossipy radio doyenne is nearing the end of her six-week tryout as a TV talk show host (and was just picked up for a nationwide run by Fox) and though Williams never been one to self-censor, she’s really hit her gasp-inducing stride during the final stretch. Watch as she discusses Christina Applegate’s recent mastectomy, free-associating until she remembers that Applegate is friends with Jennifer Aniston, a Williams bête noire. Her ensuing advice leaves no Must-See TV star unscathed (and even freaks out the audience a little). John Mayer: your rebuttal, please? [The Wendy Williams Show] More »
