Drew Carey Already Working Miracles On His First Day On The ‘Price Is Right’
7:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Everything after the final notes of its familiar theme, from the playing out of a highly suspect “perfect game”, to the friendly sign-off reminder to “help control the sex-worker population: Have a hooker spayed or neutered today”, suggested a new era has dawned at The Price is Right. Gone is Bob Barker’s well-calibrated “atmosphere of terror”. In its place is new host Drew Carey’s atmosphere of congeniality, where every contestant is referred to as “buddy” or “man”, and where new cars are given away with a frequency that would make Oprah blush. In honour of his first day on the job, Carey sat down with another emcee of a CBS show featuring a wide array of dimwitted Americans doing impossibly stupid things for cash and prizes, Julie Chen, to relay first-hand what it feels like to shepherd a congregation of Plinko-board-worshiping revivalists.

5:30AM Defamer Hollywood | We realise we left many of you hanging last week when we posted the shocking clip in which the beloved Olly Girls of Sunset Tan were let go for failing to fully commit to their accelerator-pimping duties. As this Yo on E! clip plainly shows, however, the girls are in good spirits, and ready for whatever spray-on-nozzle-clearing challenges lie ahead. Drew Carey waxes philosophical about suddenly finding himself in a game show ghetto. Now it’s Virgie Arthur vs. Howard K. Stern on the Anna Nicole Sue-Go-Round. Every lyric from Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” explained with a hyperlink. No, your eyes are not deceiving you. That’s Barbara Walters making out with Star Jones on a New York city street!

The Big List Of Attempted Celebrity Suicide Attempts
4:46AM Defamer Hollywood | Things appear to have stabled since last week’s shocking turn of events that saw Owen Wilson attempt drastic, life-ending measures upon himself: He was released from the hospital, and The Darjeeling Limited director Wes Anderson told the AP that the actor was “doing very well, he has been making [friends] laugh”. And lest fans despair that there may be no hope for a full recovery for their cherished Butterscotch Stallion, perhaps they’ll find some reassurance in MentalFloss.com’s gargantuan list of famous people who unsuccessfully attempted suicide, only to return from the brink stronger, happier, and fully equipped to star in everything from major motion pictures to seasons of The Surreal Life: Halle Berry – admitted to Parade magazine that, distraught over her failed marriage to baseball star David Justice, she tried to end her life by carbon monoxide poisoning. Drew Carey – after a rough childhood that included sexual molestation by an unknown party and his father’s death, the lovable Price is Right host attempted suicide twice in his teen years. More »
What Elizabeth Hasselbeck Sees When She Closes Her Eyes
6:47AM Defamer Hollywood | We’re not entirely sure what to make of this Pringles-can-eye-view of Rosie O’Donnell recently uploaded to her Flickr stream. Perhaps the digitally altered portrait is message-art, there to remind Drew Carey – recently chosen over her to host The Price is Right – that despite his recent casting coup, the planet still very much revolves around O’Donnell’s blinding star, and that he should remain grateful that she doesn’t choose to dispense of the bespectacled comedian by incinerating him with her sapphic UV rays or one blow of her hurricane-powered super-breath. photobooth [Rosie O'Donnell's Flickr Stream] More »
