Kate Major Will Get Exactly What She Wants In Life
12:00AM Foster Kamer | Former Star reporter Kate Major’s definitely one kind of whore, the other, not so sure. Whorebaiting gov’nuhs, too! Walter Cronkite, here? Yeah. Also: Frank McCourt. Paris Hilton, the Chelsea Hotel, some Indie Rock FAIL. Presenting your Monday Morning Gossip Roundup: More »
Don Rickles Terrorizes ‘The View,’ Insults Elisabeth, Barbara, Jay Leno, World
4:11AM Kyle Buchanan | Ever since Don Rickles appeared in the middle of the most painfully awkward Emmy ceremony ever and brought the house down by making fun of it, we’ve looked forward to the day when he would bring those same powers of incisive cruelty to The View. Today was that day. More »
Barbara Walters to Rosie and Star: ‘Ladies, Get On With Your Lives’
3:39AM Kyle Buchanan | While promoting her upcoming variety show Rosie Live yesterday, Rosie O’Donnell shocked exactly no one by dishing dirt on her former View cohosts. “[Barbara Walters] wanted everyone to believe and think and act as if we get along and are really good friends and happy and hang out together, and, you know, that’s just not the reality,” O’Donnell said. “I’m not saying they loathe each other, but the fact of the matter is, there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera.” We’ve heard similar stories, but O’Donnell’s comments at least compelled the co-hosts to summon some on-screen camaraderie today in order to denounce both Rosie and intermittent Barbara-basher Star Jones. Sadly, we fear that their ridiculously transparent “The Former Co-hosts Who Must Not Be Named” shtick will only open the door for a publicity-hungry Debbie Matenopolous to attempt an unsolicited, aggrieved rebuttal in the pages of Life & Style.

Star Jones Finally Ready to Unload On Those ‘Hateful’ Women of ‘The View’
7:15AM Kyle Buchanan | Perhaps upset that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has usurped her crown as the most reviled woman ever to spout off on The View, Star Jones has warned the upcoming issue of Essence, “Star is back!” Batten down your hatches accordingly, then head into the mind of Star for her thoughts on everything from her gastric bypass (”If I had just been honest, there would not have been a backlash”) to her pining, gay ex-husband (”I’m not in love with him”) to…oh hell, we’re just delaying the good stuff: Star slinging shit at the ladies of The View, who she deems “hateful”!

Which Recent Makeout Session Tops List Of Legendary Stomach-Turning Celebrity Hookups?
5:10AM Molly Friedman | We rarely like to take a mental walk down memory lane when it comes to the Most Nauseating Celebrity Hookups of all time, but news of the latest addition has unfortunately led us to revisit the grotesque list. We’ve already seen Liza Minelli and Phantom Of The Plastic Surgery Ward David Gest exchange saliva, Star Jones give Al an awkward lap dance and guiltily pleasured ourselves by witnessing wrinkly charmer Hugh Hefner and his thin lips attach themselves to the Girls Next Door. But after reading about one beach yoga-practicing, SUV-abandoning actor known for generally annoying everyone in Hollywood, and one scratchy-voiced “punk” rock chick known for generally hating everyone in Hollywood playing tongue twister in LA this past Tuesday, we may have a winner. The canoodlers in question, and just how far they went, after the jump: More »
Oprah-Led Think Tank Deconstructs Mariah’s Quickie-Marriage Logic
9:23AM Seth | Today, an Oprah you simply cannot afford to miss: Watch as she, Gayle, Kelly Ripa’s husband, and some other lady try to reach a consensus over when, exactly, Mariah Carey knew she was going to marry Nick Cannon. We know! We told you! [Oprah] Speaking of Mariah—just when it seemed her week couldn’t get any better…[BBC] Gary Dourdan was officially charged with possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy, today. All of which he claims belonged to someone else. [Reuters] This just in! Amy Winehouse is out on bail after her recent drug-related arrest. She tried to claim they weren’t hers, too, but Scotland Yard said, “No, no, no.” LOL! [Guardian] Alan Rosenberg: The SAG talks have broken down. The livelihoods of thousands of working actors falls in your hands. So tell us…WHAT WAS MILEY THINKING?! [ca.reuters.com] The View is the catfight incubator that just keeps on giving.

Barbara Walters’ Memoir Packed With Tales Of Former ‘Lovahs’, Including ‘The Blackest Man’ She Ever Slept With
9:10AM Molly Friedman | The ladies of The View had a lengthy meta-conversation all about the “very beautiful!” and “sexy!” photos of their own Barbara Walters in this month’s Vanity Fair. And while they do point out the photo spread’s accompanying excerpt from Walters’ new memoir Auditions, and Babs does allude to tales of past “lovahs,” she fails to mention (until Oprah makes her next week) just how tantalising some of those pages are. As today’s preview in the NY Daily News reveals, Walters was involved in a long-term affair with an African-American senator back in the swingin’ 70s. And from the sound of it, the affair was far spicier than all those Adrian Lyne movies about adultery: More »
No Reason Yet Given In Star Jones’s Divorce From Gay Husband
2:00AM Seth | After three-and-a-half years of wardrobe-sharing bliss, standing side-by-side through the good times (the Branded Wedding of the Century, brought to you by 1-800-Flowers, Smirnoff Ice, and the Portugal Tourism Board) and the bad (her Barbara Walters-issued View death warrant), ETOnline is now reporting that Star Jones has filed for divorce from husband Al Reynolds. From their Star! On! Her! Own! Exclusive!: More »

These TruTV people work fast. · Our wishlist for the guy to fill William Katt’s tights in the Greatest American Hero movie, in order of desirability : John Krasinksi, Steve Zahn, Willie Aames, Justin Timberlake.
