Sarah Silverman Blasts Paris Hilton

Posted Jun 04, 2007

Sarah Silverman takes a dig at Paris Hilton at the MTV Movie Awards, and the entire crowd laughs at the jail-bound heiress’ expense.

Sarah Silverman took a page out of “Mean Girls” and let Paris Hilton have IT in front of millions at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night. Hilton sat in the audience and took it like the bad sport that she is. Boo you whore.

Meanwhile, here in NYC, Madame Tussauds updated their wax figure of Paris on Monday to reflect her current social standing. No doubt the staff at Tussauds has seen “Mean Girls” as well.

In other Paris news, a $500,000 lawsuit is being issued against her record label in the London High Court due to her debut pop single ‘Stars Are Blind’ being a blatant rip-off of one of UB40’s most popular songs “Kingstown Town”. Hilton, however, was not named in the suit since she’s been dropped by the label due to her album’s disappointing sales.

Later that night the McDougals were enjoying their cocktail hour, which generally lasted from 5pm to last man standing…

-Sex and the City, Season 3, Episode 47: “What Goes Around Comes Around.”

Supernatural is one of the best suspense/horror TV shows to hit the air waves since the X-Files and it goes without saying that it’s one of my favorites as well.

The show centers on brothers Sam and Dean Winchester ( Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles ), who as young boys witness the mysterious, paranormal death of their mother and the disappearance of their father thereafter.

As adults, the boys embark on a quest for answers to that eventful night, encountering supernatural with every twist and turn along the way. The stylized show is an excellent mix of backwoods, American Gothic horror and moody suspense, it’ like The X-Files on testosterone starring two very likable leading men.

Julian McMahon seems to be taking the events on this season’s “Nip/Tuck” literally. McMahon’s character, Dr. Christian Troy’s sexuality has been in question in the new season of the hit TV show and according to starpulse.com, Julian is all too comfortable with it. Read on:

Julian McMahon Surprised ‘Nip/Tuck’ Co-Star With Gay Kiss

Julian McMahon shocked his Nip/Tuck co-star Dylan Walsh when he passionately kissed him on the mouth while filming a scene for the show. The pair, who play plastic surgery partners Christian Troy and Sean McNamara, were shooting a scene for a dream sequence when things got out of control.

McMahon explains, “Well, firstly, it wasn’t meant to be a kiss. But I was enjoying Dylan’s discomfort so much that I went for it. I’ve always said we should finish the show with this: Someone turns on the shower, and you see footsteps going in the back door (of Sean’s house). Someone comes into the bathroom, and it’s Christian visiting Sean. These are two guys who are obsessed with each other.”

While McMahon claims he’s sexually adventurous, he insists his co-star is a bit more conservative and was nervous about the scene. He adds jokingly, “I don’t think he’s ever gotten it on with a guy before.”

Weather this is all true or just Julian speaking on behalf of the Nip/Tuck publicity wagon in an effort to win over more gay viewers is anyone’s guess. In the mean time, Nip/Tuck continues to be one of the best and hottest shows on the air right now. Tune in, you won’t be disappointed.

At least according to The Rolling Stone and The Advocate it’s not. Both publications are sporting covers which look more like advertisements for a gay, Spring Break Wet T-Shirt contest than their usual fare.

In the left corner we have Julian McMahon, the sexy Aussie actor who plays Dr. Christian Troy on the FX Network’s powerhouse TV show “Nip/Tuck” as he appears on the cover of the upcoming Septemper 12th issue of The Advocate, squaring off against last week’s Rolling Stone cover boy, pop diva Justin Timberlake.

I’ve never cared much for Justin myself, he’s a bit too “femme” for my tastes, so my money is on Julian to win top ho honors and take the $1,000 grand prize along with the obligatory all-night open bar tab which will no doubt follow.

In true Spring Break slut fashion, I’m betting anything these two will end up making out in front of a group of rowdy guys cheering them on and wake up the next morning in the same bed not knowing what they did. And you know Justin’s the bitch who’ll be hung over and throwing up all over the place the next day. I can totally see it. Oh the visuals.

Donald Trump has given the axe to his longtime right-hand woman and Apprentice costar Carolyn Kepcher.

According to the New York Post, Kepcher was given the boot after Trump became frustrated by her outside projects. Carolyn “became a prima donna” says a source for The Post, “being on ‘The Apprentice’ went to her head. She was no longer focused on business. She was giving speeches for $25,000 and doing endorsements.” The source also goes on to say “that when Trump tried to reach her recently, she was off on a trip to make a speech. Another time, while giving a tour of the pro shop at the Briarcliff club, she didn’t seem to know the prices on any of the merchandise.”

Is someone at CBS is trying to tell Katie Couric something? New ads appearing in the network’s in-house magazine promoting Couric’s debut on “CBS Evening News” show the former “Today Show” co-host 20 pounds lighter courtesy of image editing software Photoshop.

The image on the left shows Couric, 49, as she appeared at the CBS “Upfront” presentation at Carnegie Hall in May of this year, wearing a frumpy light gray suit and her trademark smile. The one on the right shows a much slimmer Katie wearing the same suit, a few shades darker. Couric was unaware of the altered photograph until yesterday, but said she liked the original better. “There’s more of me to love,” she joked.

A spokesman for CBS commented “The picture was retouched without the knowledge of Ms. Couric or CBS News management.” An insider for the magazine insisted the publication was “just following normal industry practice” when it gave Couric a makeover.

Nobody Puts Barbara In a Corner
Posted Jun 28th 2006 12:35PM by TMZ Staff

Star Jones has left “The View” — permanently, according to her now-former co-host and boss, Barbara Walters. The show aired this morning with just Walters, Joy Behar, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck taking their customary seats at the now oddly empty round table, and Jones’ name and picture has been removed from the opening credits.

After the ladies took their seats, Walters began the show, dryly, “And then there were three.”

Summoning as much patrician chill as she could, Barbara gave as good as she got: She told the audience that Star wouldn’t be coming back, and that though she had purposely given her a few months to find a new gig and had given her the chance to “leave with dignity,” her co-host had “made another choice” by talking to People magazine and making “other announcements” in the media yesterday.Walters also said that she and the producers had decided not to renew Star’s contract several months ago (which, she says, Star knew) though she didn’t go into the reasons why.

Jones, perhaps to try to take the offensive, appeared earlier this morning before “The View” on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show and said that she wanted to leave when they told her contract wasn’t going to be renewed two months ago and that, until yesterday, Joy and Elisabeth didn’t even know she had gotten the boot.

Jones told Seacrest that “if anyone should feel betrayed, it should be me,” referring to comments Walters made yesterday that she had felt “betrayed” by Star’s jumping the gun. And she complained that she found out about how Rosie O’Donnell — who Star said had been “nasty and insulting and vicious” about her weight loss — was brought onto the show at the Emmy Awards, when Barbara announced it.

Star also acknowledged that she had made some missteps in commercializing her wedding planning to the hilt, saying “I want to take full responsibility for the audience thinking, ‘Star abandoned us.’”

Also, Gawker.com reports:

Our recaps don’t do justice to the measured, authoritative tones of Barbara Walters who, no matter what bullshit Star Jones may pull, will always be the boss around The View’s henhouse. As she explains the circumstances of Jones’ departure, Walters reminds us (and presumably Jones herself) that “The View helped make Star a star.” And don’t you forget it, snatchpants.

Also: a few readers report that Jones called in to Steve Harvey’s radio show this morning and said that yesterday ABC producers called her agents, informing them that Star was never to come back to The View, effective immediately. Burning bridges sure does make for a spectacular glow.

Walters “Betrayed” by Jones Reynolds

TV veteran Barbara Walters feels “betrayed” by her The View co-host Star Jones Reynolds following her shock on-air announcement of her departure from the talk show. Walters, 74, was stunned when Jones Reynolds, 44, told viewers and her fellow presenters she would be leaving the ABC program after nine years yesterday morning, because the announcement was planned for Thursday. Speaking to camera, Jones Reynolds said, “Something’s been on my heart for a little bit, and after much prayer and counsel I feel like this is the right time to tell you that the show is moving in another direction for its tenth season and I will not be returning as co-host next year.”

And in this week’s issue of People magazine, Jones Reynolds says, “What you don’t know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season. I feel like I was fired.” Walters, who created and produces the show, says, “I love Star and I was trying to do everything I possibly could - up until this morning when I was betrayed - to protect her. I would have loved for Star to have left and not said ‘I was fired,’ and not make it look like the program was somehow being cruel to her.

“Walters admits ABC network bosses declined to renew Jones Reynolds’ contract after research showed audiences were turned off by the former lawyer’s dramatic weight loss and her 2004 marriage to Al Reynolds, where she plugged companies on air in exchange for freebies for her wedding. Walters adds, “We tried to talk them out of it and we tried to give Star time to redeem herself in the eyes of the audience, and the research just kept getting worse.”

Cooper’s Own Sad Story

Anderson Cooper has traveled the globe covering war and famine and disaster, but he’s been reluctant to report on his own family tragedy - until now.
In his new memoir, “Dispatches From the Edge,” Cooper writes that reporting the horrors of Hurricane Katrina cracked open a levee holding back memories of his brother Carter’s 1988 suicide.

“For so long, I tried to separate myself from my past,” Cooper recalls. “I tried to move on, forget what I’d lost, but the truth is, none of it’s ever gone away.”

As the children of heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, Cooper and his brother knew a childhood of privilege, where artists like Truman Capote and Andy Warhol were regular guests at their townhouse. Then their father, Wyatt, died in 1978 when Anderson was 10 and Carter was 12. “The world,” he writes, “seemed a very scary place.”

A Dim ‘View’ Of Star’s Future

NOW that Rosie O’Donnell is joining “The View,” Star Jones may be on her way out. Sources say Jones fashioned herself to be the next Meredith Vieira on the show and wanted to be the moderator of the crew - but grande dame Barbara Walters wasn’t going to let that happen. “You can’t even mention Star’s name around Barbara,” said our source. “She hates her. Really can’t stand her.”

Walters gave some noticeably cool remarks to the Times yesterday about past bitterness between Jones and O’Donnell. “The only concern would be Star’s,” said Walters. “If Star wants to continue to be there, she is welcome.”

O’Donnell is good pals with Jones’ “View” nemesis, Joy Behar. Spies say Jones’ agent is calling around now. “Until she leaves, it will be must-see TV,” said an insider. “Imagine Rosie and Star going at it every day! Fabulous!” But another said, “Star’s ego won’t let this last for long.” Jones’ rep said, “Star has always viewed Barbara Walters as a mentor and is unaware of any hostility.”

Walters, via her p.r. queen Cindi Berger said, “Star has never angled or asked for the moderator position. Star can stay on ‘The View’ as long as she wants to, she has been very gracious.”
