It’s been almost a decade, but Rosie is finally back!
Rosie O’Donnell has teamed up withOprah Winfrey and the OWN network to bring you, “The Rosie Show.” Winfrey says she still keeps an office at Harpo Studios saying the pair “collaborate on everything.” Genius!
The new one-hour talk show will be premiering on Monday, October 10th at 7/6c. This is Rosie’s first chat venture since leaving the panel of “The View” in 2007.
“I’m delighted to welcome Rosie to the studio I’ve called home for so many years. Speaking from experience, she will be working with the best team in television in one of the greatest cities in the world,” said Winfrey.
What does Rosie think of her new gig?
“Harpo is a world class studio and I can’t wait to do my show from Chicago,” said O’Donnell. “It’s a dream come true … beyond the beyond.”
The Rosie Show will cover everything from good conversation to good music, topped off with some great comedy and game segments. I absolutely love the prime time slot!
Rosie evokes strong emotions on every topic she chooses to speak about, but there is so much more to Rosie.
I admire her openness with regards to her battles with depression and weight loss. I love how she connects with her fans, and doesn’t shy away from adversity. She’s the type of person you could sit down and literally talk to about anything!
Let’s not forget about Rosie’s Theater Kids. I’ve always appreciated the things that Rosie does for children. There’s something special about Rosie.
Watch The Rosie Show weeknights at 7/6c premiering Monday, October 10th only on OWN. To find OWN on your TV, visit Rosie.com. Will you tune-in?

Last night, Allie is Wired attended the Official Homecoming Party for Miss USA, Alyssa Campanella. In true Los Angeles fashion, the event was held at Hollywood hot spot Drai’s in the W Hotel.
Alyssa Campanella, former Miss California USA 2011 was crowned Miss USA 2011 in June. She recently returned from the Miss Universe pageant in Brazil and the party was thrown to welcome her back home to California since being crowned Miss USA 2011.
Her homecoming was held at the outdoor pool area of the restaurant/club, which was decked out with cabanas, pool spotlights, and intimate lighting. Party goers lined up to meet and snap pictures with Miss USA 2011 including a handful pageant girls. We spotted Miss California USA, Miss Teen USA and Miss Malibu USA. Alyssa looked fresh and glowing, wearing a flowing white dress and black cardigan. Congratulations Alyssa and welcome home!
Howard Stern started off asking questions about Courteney, like “why” she is in the audience every week at “Dancing With the Stars” and whether David is still pining for her.
“I’m not; we’re in the friend zone now,” Arquette said, adding that his ex-wife knows he’s been seeing someone new since the summer.
He didn’t give up his new gal’s name right away, but eventually admitted her name is Christina McLarty.
McLarty is an entertainment reporter, as well as being “Girls Gone Wild” Joe Francis‘ ex-fiance. “She’s adorable. I’m not one to run around with different girls. I like someone that makes me feel good and that I can make feel good,” said Arquette.
Justin Timberlake is asking all photographers to submit their best photo that represents the phrase 'Every Second Counts.'
In the upcoming movie In Time, Timberlake stars as Will Salas, a man who lives his life minute-to-minute. In a world where time is literally spent like money, the poor must be quick or they die—so every second counts.
Justin is asking photographers to capture a moment that almost could have been. The photo can be of anything and everything—Justin is looking for the most unique perspective that best embodies this poignant theme. Make it moving, touching, and original; there are no creative limitations.
The winner will receive global exposure and have their photograph featured as the official profile picture on Justin Timberlake's Facebook page (with 12 million likes) for the month of November 2011.
The winning photograph will also be displayed in a pop-up gallery at the Premiere of In Time in Los Angeles along with being featured across Justin’s social media channels, including justintimberlake.com.
Nancy Grace jiggled out of her costume on Monday’s “Dancing With the Stars,” but it wasn’t obvious on the air.
The camera’s may have cut to the audience, but Host Tom Bergeron was heard saying, “On the European version that would be perfectly fine.”
Despite the obvious, Grace has denied that a “wardrobe malfunction” ever took place.
“There was a little tiny movement, but it did not equate to a wardrobe malfunction,” Grace told People magazine. “I would be mortified.”
Grace posted a note on Twitter to former DWTS contestant Lisa Rinna saying, “It was during that hopscotch when seismic shift occurred in my bra.”
She also tweeted a photo of herself holding “Breast Petals” and once again “vehemently” denied a malfunction saying, “Evidence re my alleged ‘wardrobe malfunction’ which I vehemently deny: Breast Petals & industrial strength bra.”
Earlier this month, Scarlett joined the growing list of Hollywood celebrities, including “High School Musical” actress Vanessa Hudgens and “Friends With Benefits” star Mila Kunis, who have had private photos leaked online at the hands of hackers.
In an interview with CNN, Johansson said celebrities are no different than anyone else when it comes to the right of privacy.
“Just because you’re an actor or make films or whatever doesn’t mean you’re not entitled to your own personal privacy … if that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong,” said Johansson.
The actress said life in the spotlight — and in this case, asserting herself in instances where her privacy has been invaded — can be a struggle.
“It’s an adjustment, but I think there are certain instances where you give a lot of yourself and finally you have to kind of put your foot down and say, ‘Oh wait, I’m taking it back.’”
Johansson admitted snapping the two nude photos, but called in the FBI claiming that hackers had stolen them off her mobile phone.
A new sex tape is being shopped around and it allegedly features rap superstar Lil Wayne!
Here's the thing, the woman joining Wayne in the video appears to be none other than…NICKI MINAJ!
A group from New Orleans, Louisiana is trying to sell the tape and gave MediaTakeOut.com a screening. The video is reportedly three years old and was filmed by Weezy himself.
So how did these guys get the tape in the first place, you ask?
Well, the story is that the tape had been circulating around Wayne's friends and eventually landed in the hands of some not so reputable, yet entrepreneurial people who are now trying to sell it.
The group is apparently trying to sell the footage for $150,000, that's a high price to pay for not really knowing if it's really Wayne or Nicki.
It’s back to work for Jennifer Lopez! Despite her very public split from husband Marc Anthony, the American Idol judge is not letting it get the best of her. In fact, she is rising above!
Not only have the judges already begun their journey to find the next American Idol, she too has been busy doing what she loves, entertaining. Judge Randy Jackson and Jenny from the Block both performed in Las Vegas at iHeartRadio Music Festival over the weekend. Sounds like a clubbin’ good time.
J Lo sang a variety of hits while encouraging the crowd to get busy on the floor, “I don’t want to see anyone trying to act cool around here. I want to see you dancing and jumping and singing and acting like a fool.” Gawd, I love her.
If anyone deserves a good time, it’s Jennifer. I would have to agree with Randy, “She’s strong, she’s a trooper, she’s a great girl.”
It’s time for you to get loud and check out her performance LIVE at iHeartRadio Music Festival below. That’a dawg!
So the question is. Is she or isn’t she? According to numerous reports, friends suggest that Jessica Simpson is in fact, preggers. Oh baby!
The couple recently celebrated Big Daddy’s (Eric Johnson) 32nd birthday where Jess supposedly sent back her glass of champagne before the big birthday toast. Sounds like the future bride and groom have something “bigger” to celebrate!
A source close to the delighted duo say that they are expecting their first child and that Simpson is “already having kooky cravings,” like nacho chips dipped in chocolate, cheese-flavored popcorn, and non-alcoholic margaritas, whatever satisfies “her urge for salty and sweet,” sounds like a Jess Mama combination to me!
As for the wedding, it is still planned for November with an extra special guest added to the guest list. As for baby, it may not be the right timing but for Jessica and Eric, this may be “the best wedding gift ever.”
Aww, congrats! You may leave your congratulations and best wishes in the comment box below.
Rumors are circulating again that Two and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher is cheating on his wife Demi Moore.
A source is claiming that her friend, Sara Leal, slept with Ashton at 4:30 AM on Saturday morning at the Hardrock Hotel in San Diego.
Reportedly, Ashton told Sara Leal that him and Demi were separated, but the public just hadn't figured it out yet.
Also, the source claims that Kutcher's bodyguard took Leal's phone before she could enter the room.
Rumors of Ashton’s infidelity have been around since the beginning of their relationship, so could Leal just be jumping on the bandwagon of self proclaimed mistresses or could she be telling the truth?
Sara is apparently shopping her story and details around for $250,000.
I guess dreams do come true, at least for Selena Gomez. Not only is she lucky in love (yes, she is a belieber) but she too has landed herself quite the gig!
The Disney princess will host this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast, Ireland held at the Odyssey Arena on November 6th. Do you think she’s got what it takes?
In a special announcement, Selena seems thrilled to be the chosen one, here’s what she had to say:

Paramedics arrived on scene at the Warner Bros lot Monday morning in response to a 911 call placed by a member of Ellen DeGeneres‘ staff.
The 53 year old talk show host was in a production meeting when she complained of chest pains. Her assistant immediately called for paramedics.
The Burbank Fire Department promptly responded and DeGeneres was not taken to hospital. She was seen a little later walking around on her own.
Ellen took to twitter to thank everyone for their concern and to reassure fans et al that she was doing just fine. “Thank you all for your concern. I wasn’t feeling great so I called the paramedics, but I’m fine. The mouth to mouth was totally unnecessary.”
Lady Gaga performed at the iHeartRadio Music Fest in Las Vegas over the weekend with a stunning 1 hour performance.
Gaga performed her chart topping singles Bad Romance, Just Dance, The Edge of Glory, Born This Way, Poker Face and more.
But during her performance, the singer took a moment to dedicate her song Hair to 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer who unfortunately took his life last week because he was being bullied about his sexuality.
“We lost a little monster this week and I’d like to dedicate this song to him,” Gaga said.
A video montage with a photo of the late teenager played as Gaga proclaimed, "Tonight, Jamey I know you’re up there and looking at us. Bullying is for losers. Put your hands up for Jamey!”
After the touching performance, the Lady finished the rest of her set in full Gaga-ness, complete with fake blood, motorcycles and craziness.
She was even joined by guest performer, Sting, who sang a duet of the classic Stand By Me!
“Sting is one of my favorite people in the whole world because when I started in this business, I started to meet real legends but they’re not always very nice. Sting is one of the kindest, most loving people I’ve ever met,” she revealed.
Gaga was the last act and closed the two-day music fest which included performers Nicki Minaj, Coldplay, Jennifer Lopez and more.
It’s another week for Dancing With The Stars and I am ecstatic to see the contestants bring it during week two. After scoring a possible 19 out of 30 points with her dancing partner Mark Ballas, Kristin Cavallari shares her dancing experience with us.
The dancing duo have been busy working their tails off. So much so, that her and Mark are up with the birds every morning practicing their technique. And even though Mark may not be a morning person, Kristin says that they are “getting a lot done” when it comes to their training.
“Mark and I have been rehearsing since eight in the morning, which Mark’s not very happy about. But it’s been a good day. We’ve been here for five hours almost, so we’re a little sweaty, but it’s been fun.”
Given the fact that Cavallari claims she has little experience in the ballroom, you’d think her expertise in the club would help her along, right? It’s just the beginning.
Last week the show said goodbye to their first contestant cut from the competition. Los Angeles Lakers’ Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace left the show with no regrets, what a good sport! Who will be next?
Be sure to tune in tonight! You are not gonna want to miss week two of Dancing With The Stars on ABC at 8/7c. I’ll meet you there!
Lilo has got herself a job! Say hello to the new face of Philipp Plein.
Yep, Lindsay Lohan is at it again, this time in Milan, Italy. It’s not surprising that Lilo met up with the German designer just a day before the photo shoot. In fact, she has never even met him, nor seen his collections. But luckily for her, Plein thinks “Lindsay is a beautiful, highly acclaimed actress and model,” so she got the job and is making that money.
The photos taken will be a part of the Spring and Summer 2012 campaign for Philipp Plein some of which you can see here.
Girlfriend has been busy. Now if only she can keep on keeping on! You can do it Lilo, I believe in you.
So how did Molly Sims spend her little Saturday? Getting married! Yes, and what a nice day for a white wedding.
Molly and her beau Scott Stuber exchanged vows at Frank Cafaretta Vineyard in Napa Valley, California on Saturday in an intimate gathering before family and friends. The bride was elegantly dressed to impress, donning a wedding gown by Marchesa and draped in jewels by Lorraine Schwartz while her husband suited up with Tom Ford.
The couple dated for over a year and a half before Scotty boy popped the question.
This is Sims’ first marriage and Stuber’s second.
Cheers to the Bride and Groom! You may leave your congratulations for the newlyweds in the comment section below.

I’m almost saddened to keep writing pieces that paint Lindsay Lohan in a negative light, but she isn’t giving me much choice!
A few days ago, Linds was spotting making out with ‘friend’ Vikram Chatwal, a millionaire hotelier who also happens to be a married man!
Chatwal flew Lindsay out to New York last week for Fashion Week and she’s been staying with him at his home there. The pair were caught by photogs making out in front of a window in the home.
This past Wednesday she confronted the wife of her make-out pal, and apparently the claws came out.
According to a witness; "Lindsay found out Vikram was hosting a dinner at the Dream, and turned up with a friend at the hotel's Electric Room, waiting for him," the source said. "That's when the trouble started. Priya was very dignified, but Lindsay was so rude. She acted as if she'd had no idea Vikram was married, and tried to make it clear that Vikram was her friend. Others had to step in to calm things down."
Oh Lindsay… when are you gonna clean up your life and get back to acting? I miss you on the movie screens girl!
