Enjoy!
“I am obsessed with Zac Efron. If it wouldn’t be creepy, because he’s a friend, I would have posters on my wall.”

“I’m sure I probably bought weed from him.”
– Cameron Diaz, on former high school classmate Snoop Dogg, to Playboy

– Taylor Lautner, on preventing the exploitation of his ab-tastic physique, to GQ magazine

The Huffington Post have put together a list of the 4 biggest winners and losers in the celebrity and media world for this week, first up is the winners:
Oprah: Kitty who? It was the week Oprah took New York by storm: starting with the Costume Institute Gala on Monday, where she walked the red carpet with Oscar de la Renta and partied down with Diddy and Pharrell right through Oprah’s Best Life Weekend, celebrating ten years of O Magazine with a live show from Radio City Music Hall and a New York charity walk on Sunday.
Brian Williams: The “NBC Nightly News” anchor broadcast from oil spill-ravaged gulf region Monday night, while his competitors Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer were dolled up at the Costume Institute Gala. He then rushed back to New York to cover the Times Square bomber arrest. Bonus: he turned 51 on Wednesday.
Rick Stengel: It would have been enough for the TIME Managing Editor to simply have hosted the TIME 100 gala Tuesday, featuring Bill Clinton, Sarah Palin and Taylor Swift. But then the announcement that his main rival, Newsweek, was going up for sale allowed him to brag about his magazine’s sustained profitability.
Conan O’Brien: Finally able to make his case, Conan broke his silence on “60 Minutes” — and delivered ratings to boot. And he effectively got his message across: he’s a good Catholic boy who would never have done that to Leno.
Now let’s take a look at the ones we really care about, the losers:
Jon Meacham: It was supposed to be a good week for the Newsweek editor, who’s launching a new show with Allison Stewart on PBS called “Need To Know.” But then the Washington Post announced it would be selling his magazine, leading the history buff to go on a sad-sack media tour explaining why the world needs Newsweek. Unfortunately, many of his staffers are now saying that Newsweek needs a new editor.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: The conservative “View” co-host brought ESPN anchor and “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Erin Andrews to tears this week by lashing out over Andrews’ skimpy dancewear and seeming to side with the stalker who peeped into her hotel room to see her naked. She cried the next day, offering up a tearful public apology for her comments.
American Idol: It’s still the #1 show in the country, but there were big and dangerous warning signs for “Idol” this week: on both Tuesday and Wednesday, it hit ratings lows it hasn’t seen since 2002, the year it launched (in the summer, no less). It may have just been a boring Frank Sinatra theme week, With Simon Cowell gearing up to leave at the end of this season already, it doesn’t bode well for the show’s future.
Conan O’Brien: Yes, he made his case on “60 Minutes” — but it may have backfired. The more time he spends complaining about how Big Bad Leno stole the “Tonight Show” from him, the less America remembers why they loved him on it…and the less they look forward to his launch this fall on TBS. Plus, NBC made a splash by saying that he lied during the “60 Minutes” interview.
I guess Conan O’Brien should pat himself on the back, he made both the winners and the losers list, like they say in Hollywood – any press is good press.
Check out Sherri Shepherd showing off her swimsuit body on The View yesterday.
Sheri “strutted her stuff” on stage to I’m Every Woman and then said “I feel really great. I just wanted to show people that you don’t have to do anything crazy. You just have to make some choices and exercise and the weight will drop off. I hope some folks were inspired.”
Sherri made a promise to diet and work out back in May, she has since lost 5 inches from her waist and 10 inches overall. Some of her menu consisted of grilled chicken, salad and water.
On the exercising she said “I do a lot of stairs, a lot of planks, a lot of squats, a lot of treadmill, a lot of screaming — and I do it four times a week.”
The one part of her body that she will never change? Her boobs, that’s what I like to hear a woman say – “I love my boobs!”.
When asked if she would have a breast reduction she said “What?! No! I would never ever, ever, ever, I don’t care how old they get and how long they get, I’m going to love my boobs. I’d never get rid of them.”
Elisabeth Hasselbeck ripped off a woman by plagiarizing her disease material — so claims Susan Hassett, who fired off a letter to “The View” host just before suing her.
TMZ obtained the letter — in which Susan claims she sent Elisabeth a book called “Living with Celiac Disease” back in April of ’08. Thirteen months later, Susan says Hasselbeck published the same book with a new title: “The G Free Diet-A Gluten Free Survival Guide.”
Susan compares chapters and lines. Here are some highlights.
Susan’s Book Chapter 1: What is Celiac Disease?
Hasselbeck Chapter 2: What is Celiac Disease?
Susan’s tips: “Shop in the outer isles of the supermarket.”
Hasselbeck’s tips: “Food in the outer isles of the supermarket.”
And the comparisons go on and on.
Hasselbeck recently discovered she’s long suffered from celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder linked to gluten proteins found in wheat, barley and rye. The disease can cause, among other things, chronic diarrhea and fatigue.

Melissa Etheridge appeared on The View this morning and naturally got into discussing Prop 8, she ended up calling Elisabeth Hasselbeck out on she had discussed gay marriage on a previous show.
Melissa straight up asked Elisabeth if she was for gay marriage or same sex marriage, to which Elisabeth said it is a legal issue and not a personal issue.
Before things could get really heated, Sherri Shepherd had to interupt and get Melissa to sing a Christmas song from her new album.
I’m sure I wasn’t the only one that was curious to see Elisabeth Hasselbeck‘s reaction to Barack Obama being elected president. Of course, The View ladies took the opportunity of asking.
Hasselbeck said, “We’ve had such incredible discussions here,†and then addressed Barack Obama’s acceptance speech with her daughter Grace.
When Grace asked who lost the election, Elisabeth said she told her, “No one lost today – and God knows I fought hard on the other side. Today is a victory for this country. The first black president. The first black first lady — family. I haven’t felt this good…
“Are you saying I was right all along?†Joy probed.
A few laughs later, she admitted that she will support her president — because that is the right thing for us to do.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck gets more death threats than anyone else on “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg revealed Monday night at Cooper Union.
Whoopi – part of a panel discussion on Art and Educational Justice hosted by the Stella Adler Studio with Rosie Perez, Phylicia Rashad and Anna Deavere Smith – said of her conservative co-host:
“Politically we could not be more opposite, but I respect her tremendously. Truth is, we could not have a dialogue without Elizabeth. It’s not that we have to agree, the important thing is that we have the conversation.”
On The View today, Barbara Walters said that the T-shirt Elisabeth Hasselbeck donned yesterday caused the show to get “e-mails and calls with people complaining.â€
What was emblazoned across her chest? “Great Ameri(Mc)Cain Hero.â€
With a quick roll of the eyes, Elisabeth huffed, “Well, they must all be voting for Obama.â€
Responded Babs: “It’s one thing to wear it during Hot Topics but then when you’re interviewing celebrities….†She asked whether the jest then becomes “an advertisement.â€
Elisabeth was quick to chime in with: “I designed the shirt. I sent it to the campaign! … That’s who my heart is for.â€
And, of course, no event on The View can go by without Joy Behar throwing in her two cents. “I would wear an Obama T-shirt, she said. “But I would need shoulder pads and I don’t think that would look good.â€
Do you think it was politically incorrect for Elisabeth to wear a McCain shirt on the show?
Sarah Palin sure is shaking things up isn’t she? The ladies from The View got into yet another fight over Palin, well it was mainly the women against Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Barbara Walters jumped in (for a change) and said to Elizabeth “Every single day you never ever say, maybe there’s another point, so this is your chance. Tell us now why you think that Sarah Palin would make a very good President.”
This didn’t go down well with Elizabeth who said “Yes, I do!†she then went on to say, “well, since I’ve been studying for this pop quiz forever! I….tell me why Barack Obama is qualified. Give me three tangible things he has done.”
Of course before it could get even more heated they went to a commercial. So who do you think is in the right – Hasselbeck or the other ladies?
Elisabeth Hasselbeck talked smack about Michelle Obama, hinting that she must have something to hide.
Hasselbeck compared Cindy McCain, John McCain’s wife who wore a $300,000 outfit at the Republican National Convention to Michelle Obama, Barack Obama’s wife who grew up in the South Side of Chicago:
“Cindy came into our hair and make-up room fresh as can be. And unlike another wife of a political candidate, who shall remain nameless, she didn’t come with a list of topics that we weren’t allowed to touch. Nope. That’s because she has nothing to hide.â€
In a year filled with comebacks, is it time for Rosie O’Donnell to stage her return to TV?
“Multiple sources†have told Entertainment Weekly that the moody media mogul might soon return to television with her own weekly NBC primetime variety show.
The news comes just as the Peacock is said to be courting exiting Tonight Show host Jay Leno for a similar gig.
It’s possible O’Donnell’s series would be a fallback in case Leno defects to ABC after his late-night reign ends next year (as many expect he will).
NBC was unavailable for comment.
I wonder what Elisabeth will think of Rosie’s grand return?
