Bruno has slammed Paris Hilton before stripping off his clothes on The Tonight Show.

Sacha Baron Cohen attended the US show as Austrian fashion designer Bruno, wearing metallic silver trousers and a sequined black tank top.

Asked if he was inspired by Paris Hilton, he told host Conan O’Brien: “Paris Hilton is everything I despise. She comes onto chat shows dressed like an idiot and she is a total name-dropper, Orlando Bloom told me that. She’s really bitchy, which most sluts are.”

Bruno was repeatedly bleeped for talking about blowj**s before jumping up on the Tonight Show desk and pulling off his shirt and pants to reveal a black thong. Dancing to Lady GaGa, he wrapped his legs around O’Brien’s head and lent backwards off the desk.

Amy Winehouse has hired a relaxation therapist to help her prepare for her live shows.

The Rehab singer’s management have also employed a masseuse and a nutritionist to help her relax ahead of her appearance at Portugal’s Rock In Rio festival after American bosses threatened to cancel her US tour dates if she misses any more concerts.

A source revealed: “This gig is hugely important as it will either give her summer US tour the go-ahead or see it scrapped all together. Both the record company and bookers in the States are using this weekend’s show as a marker to see whether Amy is up to it or is still totally unreliable. A relaxation therapist and a masseuse are being lined up to assist her whenever she feels troubled. A nutritionist is also on hand to help with her eating.”

Amy reportedly hasn’t turned up to rehearsals for over two weeks. Last summer, the ‘Back to Black’ singer canceled several UK shows at the last minute as well as scrapping an American tour last September.

We all hate the taxman but when you compare your bill to ex-Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona you will feel much better. The ex-singer faces a whopping £700,000 in taxes, with the first instalment of £200,000 due before Christmas. But she can’t pay it.

In a desperate bid to avoid being made bankrupt Kerry is heading to court to beg for a delay until after the New Year.

On top of that Kerry has recently admitted she can’t say that she will stay off the drugs; despite recently declaring she was clean. She revealed to TV chat show host Jonathon Ross, “I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I can never say never. I really can’t”

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Kerry needs to get her head out of the clouds and sort herself out; before she ends up on the scrap heap like many others before her.

Hulk Hogan received a shocking bit of news from a Times reporter Friday night. His wife of 24 years has filed for divorce.

Hogan’s immediate response was to thank the reporter for the news. He called back a few minutes later and said, “I’m kind of shocked. You caught me off guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here.”

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, and wife Linda Marie Bollea have two children, Brooke, age 19, and Nick, age 17. The family recently starred in their own reality show on VH1 entitled Hogan Knows Best. In July 2005, around the premier of the magazine, Hogan shared in an interview with People magazine, “My wife and I are very intense, very passionate, very loving. Our family if pretty basic and old school, and now we’ve kind of become cool because we’re just as intense as anyone else, but we run a really tight ship.”

Apparently the ship wasn’t tight enough because Hogan’s son Nick has recently been in the news. He is currently facing felony charges for reckless driving. He lost control of his Toyota Supra in August and slammed into a tree. His passenger, friend John Graziano, suffered a brain injury.

Intense as they are, maybe being in the spotlight herself was too much for Linda. Or maybe with Hogan, we can’t believe everything we see on television.

With temperatures hitting 90 or more across most of the nation, movie theaters were the place to be on Labor Day, helping Hollywood establish a new box-office record for the holiday. The weekend’s top 12 movies, led by the Rob Zombie-directed Halloween remake, combined to gross $120 million Friday-Monday, up 22 percent from last year’s end-of-summer blowout Zombie’s Halloween was the biggest of the weekend bunch, scaring up $31 million through Monday. I have seen the original Halloween and that movie really scared the hell out of me and I am sure all the other viewers of that movie would agree with me. well anyone who’s seen the new one do let us all now how is this one, does it scare the hell and the demons the exist inside the darkest part of us or it’s rather a bad remake.

Chocolate lovers never had so much fun.

Internet phenomenon Tay Zonday is now going to be showering fans with ‘Chocolate Rain’ on the road. The YouTube clip, which has been watched for over 4 million times and parodied by everyone from Sith lord, Darth Vader, to intellectual music personality, John Mayer, has catapulted the James Earl Jones-sounding grad student to fame. And that’s both on the internet and real life.

This fall season, Tay will take to the road with Girl Talk and Dan Deacon, as reported by The Daily Swarm. As of the moment, Tay is signed up for the duo’s Minneapolis tour stop but adding him to other dates is not being ruled out.

The owner of the building that portrayed Tony Soprano’s favourite sandwich shop is selling his establishment, piece by piece. He is literally selling it brick by brick. Manny Costeira is tearing down the frontage of the fictional Satriale’s Pork Store and selling each piece online for twenty-five dollars. Every piece comes with a certificate of authenticity as well. The building that was home for Satriale’s will be demolished to make way for an apartment complex called The Soprano. I can see the vacancy there going before the place has even been built. Die hard fans of “The Sopranos” TV show will purchase those pieces in a heartbeat. I don’t think it will take very long for Manny to sell off every last piece. Of course he should consider keeping one for himself.

Newlywed Eva Longoria says that if she and husband Tony Parker have kids, the couple will teach them all three languages they collectively speak – English, Spanish and French. They should first ensure that the kids not in awe of Hollywood celebrity lifestyles and the kids do not pick up wrong habits that are a norm in Hollywood. It’s barely been a month or so that they have been married and already they have things on their minds which they would like their kids to do, have kids first and then have those sleepless nights, when the baby keeps you guys awake all night the only thing you would pray for is that they sleep well and you too get to catch up on your sleep. It’s really important to be nice parents who can give the kids enough time and see them growing up rather than having preconceived notions on who you’d like to shape their future.

Hollywood actor Alan Cumming is making an Edinburgh International Festival debut this year with his first home performance in 16 years. The star of X-men and Goldeneye, who was born in Aberfeldy in Perthshire, plays the lead in director David Grieg’s new version of The Bacchae. What can I say about the wonderful way in which he played his part in the James Bond flick – Golden Eye. That sweet dimple on his cheeks never can suggest that he’s gonna be so versatile in a villains role. Hopefully becomes a permanent fixture in the Bond movies without the license to kill Mr. Bond. Cumming has also appeared on Broadway which shows that the actor does possess acting skills. Thank goodness that there are few actors who having the ability of doing the job for which they are paid in the millions or else I find that these days there are more on nut heads that are doing movies in Hollywood than there are serious actor with a hint of acting skills.

Actor and comedian Chris Rock can sleep easy again. Earlier this year a woman named Kali Bowyer came forward with a bold declaration that Chris was the father of her teenage son. Rock denied all allegations and went to the court for a paternity test to establish that the child was not his. Now the results are in and it is certain that Rock is not the father of Bowyer’s child. Rock and his wife Malaak are now seeking damages for the costs they incurred. Also they are seeking to have Bowyer give any money she made from tabloids to children’s charities for the disadvantaged. There is no celebrity that is safe from scandal. Any stranger off of the street can decide they have a reason to sue you. It’s always a good idea to cover your ass just in case. Things turned out well for Rock and his wife of eleven years. It doesn’t always work out so great for everyone.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Sydney Pollack has withdrawn as director of the upcoming TV movie “Recount” about the contested 2000 U.S. presidential election because of illness, his spokeswoman said on Monday.

Pollack, 73, who won Academy Awards for his work as director and producer of “Out of Africa,” will be replaced by Jay Roach, the director of such film comedies as “Meet the Parents” and the “Austin Powers” movies.

Neither HBO Films, which is producing “Recount,” nor Pollack’s publicist would give details of his illness.

“He’s got some medical issues,” spokeswoman Leslie Dart told Reuters. “He’s not feeling well right now. It would be unrealistic for him to go into production right away.”

An HBO spokeswoman said Pollack would stay on the project as one of its executive producers.

The political drama, which explores the personal stories of ordinary people caught up in the acrimonious ballot recounts in Florida at the end of the 2000 presidential race, is due to begin shooting this fall and air on HBO in 2008, the cable network said.

No casting decisions have been made.

In addition to his Oscar wins for the 1985 epic “Out of Africa,” starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, Pollack earned Oscar nominations for directing Dustin Hoffman in the cross-dressing comedy “Tootsie” and Jane Fonda in the Depression-era drama “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”

Pollack himself had a small but memorable role as Hoffman’s agent in “Tootsie,” which also was nominated for best picture and earned a best supporting actress award for Jessica Lange.

The tall, curly haired Pollack has appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, once describing his occasional stints as a performer as “an excuse to spy on other directors.”

In one of his most recent roles, Pollack made a guest turn on the HBO mob drama “The Sopranos” as a former physician sentenced to prison for killing his family and doing time in a prison medical ward.

“Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts had “very successful” surgery for breast cancer Friday and has left the hospital for home, ABC said.

Roberts, 46, revealed her diagnosis to viewers Tuesday. She said doctors believed they had caught the cancer early.

“The tests following her surgery take some time to process, so when we have more information we will update you,” said ABC News spokeswoman Bridgette Maney. “Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for Robin.”

Roberts’ mother and sisters traveled from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and New Orleans to be with her for the surgery. The former college basketball star and sportscaster grew up in Pass Christian, Miss.

The family has asked Roberts’ friends and the public to respect her need for a private, quiet recovery time.

“I’m blessed with the medical care I am getting,” Roberts told the Sun Herald newspaper of Mississippi this week.

“I work for a company that says ‘Just whatever you need,’ and I’m grateful. But that just is not the way it is for everyone. It shouldn’t be a privilege I have; it should be everyone’s right.”

In mid-July, before she knew she had cancer, Roberts agreed to be keynote speaker at an Aug. 29 Pink Heart fundraiser in Biloxi, Miss. Roberts, who has been actively helping with Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts, had planned to be on the coast that day for the “GMA” broadcast of the hurricane’s second anniversary.

The nonprofit Pink Heart Fund was conceived when JoAn Niceley, a hair stylist and cancer survivor, realized that cancer patients who had already lost much because of Katrina were having difficulty getting wigs and breast prostheses.

Roberts has said she will still be the Pink Heart keynoter.

Music mogul-turned-reality TV star Simon Cowell is to turn hit show American Idol into a new movie. The British svengali is the brains behind a new film, Star Struck, which follows the fortunes of wannabes on a talent show. He explains, “The story is told through the eyes of 10 contestants. We want it to be the musical version of Rocky – an underdog story, a feel-good film.” What, is he thinking of making a musical in the age of sci-fi and war movie that rule the roost in our times. Who wants to see a musical with some of the best known actors playing lead roles singing all through the movie, what crap he is planning to make. Just imagine, George Clooney or some others standing on stage and acting as Idol contestants. This could also have a negative impact on the reality series, which is about to start its seventh season. Again please you guys think of something original and stop copying from here and there.

Gerber Products Company is teaming up with actress Alison Sweeney to help educate moms about toddler nutrition. Sweeney, mother of two-year-old son Ben, is the new host of the NBC’s hit reality show The Biggest Loser and well-known for her Emmy Award-winning role as Sami Brady on the network’s daytime drama Days of our Lives. “When Gerber shared its findings from a recent survey of moms, I was shocked to learn that many toddlers weren’t getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in a day,” Ms. Sweeney said. Very nice thoughts but they are missing a point here, if there so concerned about the well being of children then firstly they need to open classes to educated moms who not to make more Britneys and Lindsay Lohans in our communities. There might be a good number of children whose diets are not adequately nutritious but there even greater numbers who run the risk of being addicted to drugs and alcohol. Parents more than ever need to learn how not to create such clones for our beautiful society.

Ever since Bob Barker announced his retirement from the hit game show “The Price is Right” there has been constant speculation about who will replace him. I found it surprising that they had no plan to end the show. Many people have been rumored to be taking the famous hosts place, even Rosie O’Donnell. It was announced Monday that Drew Carey will indeed be the new host. He’s best known for the lead role in the sitcom named after him. He was also part of the famed show “Whose Line is it Anyway?”. Carey is also hosting a prime time show called “The Power of 10”. He confirmed his new game show gig on David Letterman’s show. I can’t see anybody being able to successfully fill Bob Barker’s shoes. I wonder what kind of effect it will have on the people clambering to be in the audience. Will the appeal be the same with Drew Carey on that stage? I can’t even picture it.

Zachary Quinto, best known for playing the villainous Sylar in “Heroes,” will don a pair of pointy ears to play Mr. Spock in the newest installment of the Star Trek feature franchise and he’ll be joined by Leonard Nimoy, reprising the role that he created.

J.J. Abrams, who is directing the 11th “Star Trek” film, currently untitled, revealed the casting Thursday at the San Diego Comic-Con International confab. The actors joined Abrams onstage as he made the announcement.

Plot details were not revealed about the Paramount Pictures film, though it is believed to revolve around the first encounters between a young Spock and Capt. James T. Kirk at Starfleet Academy.

Abrams, the prolific co-creator/executive producer of “Lost” and director of Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible III” also will serve as a producer and co-writer on the film, which is scheduled for a December 2008 release.

Quinto’s credits also include the TV series “So Notorious” and “24.”

Also at Comic-Con, Steven Spielberg appeared via satellite to announce that Karen Allen, who starred opposite Harrison Ford in the original “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” will appear in the upcoming untitled sequel to that franchise.

As far as platonic liars go, Paula Abdul is one of the weirdest. Ever since People magazine said that she was drunk she had been under constant scrutiny. Not only that but she is extremely insistent that she has never even been drunk in her life. How many people who have spent a large amount of their life in Hollywood have never been drunk? What a total lie. I can’t possibly believe that. When she sat down with Matt Lauer the other day he asked her twice if she had ever been drunk. The second time she admitted to sipping cocktails on occasion. Her new reality show “Hey Paula” is getting mixed reviews. Some viewers find her to be very moody. She was also asked about her love life and tried to be evasive. She is currently dating restaurant hot spot owner J.T. Torregiani. I’m surprised that anybody cared enough about what Paula Abdul is doing that they gave her a TV show. Hopefully it won’t last as long as American Idol has. Isn’t that punishment enough?

Courtney Thorne-Smith has been on television for several years now. Some of us remember her from the trashy prime time soap opera days of “Melrose Place”. Currently she is starring opposite Jim Belushi on his hit TV show, “According to Jim”. Her spokesperson has recently confirmed to the press that she is expecting her first child with her husband Roger Fishman. It will also be the couple’s first wedding anniversary this January. Another nice happy story coming out of tinsel town. These stories are starting to pop up more often lately. It seems to be a nice way of balancing out all of the trash and diva stories. One can only take so much drug and anorexia talk before a break is needed. There is no word yet on how the pregnancy will fit into the show. Perhaps they will write it in for some laughs. If not then sitcoms have that classic way of hiding it while making it totally obvious.

So the world premiere of The Simpsons movie will be held in Springfield, Vermont. The many real life Springfields had a chance to compete for the opportunity to be the town of choice. The Vermont location beat out fourteen other Springfields for the honor. The Vermont town is rather small and has only nine thousand and three hundred people. The town feels great about their win, saying they had felt like the underdogs until the big win. The town is now celebrating. I guess it’s a neat idea to let the many Springfields battle it out for votes since there was a running joke for a long time that no one knew what State the fictional town was in. However, on the episode where it’s set up to be a spoof of Behind the Music it is revealed that The Simpsons are located in Northern Texas. So perhaps that is where the world movie premiere should be. Not that it matters, just stating it for the record.

The Black Donnellys can only hope that their fans are totally nuts. Followers of the short-lived NBC mob drama have taken a cue from Jericho’s peanut-pushing saviors and have concocted their own plan to try and bring the series back to life. No one knows if the crackers will convince HBO to pick up a second season of the Black Donnellys. It’s really about showing our support for this series as NBC failed to do so. The Black Donnellys’ fans are a loyal and passionate group of individuals. As a fan, I believe in the slogan “Family Above All” and and The Black Donnellys best exemplies that. We only hope that The Black Donnellys can find a home at HBO. While, some may believe the crackers may not do it, I do believe that HBO is a good home as they ARE responsible for such great shows like The Sopranos. Even the actors from The Black Donnellys have prior or future history with HBO. Kirk Acevedo as Nicky Cottero, is well known for his role as Alvarez on “OZ”. Billy Lush as Kevin Donnelly is acting in HBO’s new miniseries “Generation Kill”. HBO will not only draw upon established audiences but will gain a new and very passionate audience. Given the opportunity, the right marketing, the series can be successful.
