Bethenny Frankel on Bristol Palin Reality Show: Who Would Watch?!?

July 22, 2010


Bristol Palin is one of the most famous teenagers in the country.

She’s the daughter of a Presidential candidate and an unwed mother who isn’t just marrying the guy that knocked her up and publicly bashed her family for months on end – she’s profiting from the arrangement by selling her story to supermarket tabloids!

Say what you want about Bristol – and, trust us, THG has – but she’s the perfect candidate for a reality TV show.

Still, Bethenny Frankel claims she doesn’t see the appeal.

Bethenny Frankel thinks viewers are interested in her life, but not that of Bristol Palin. She may be more delusional than Bristol’s mother.

“If it was her mom getting married or remarried it would be interesting,” Frankel said to E! News yesterday. “If it was Sarah was raising the baby, maybe. But what’s the deal with the two of them?

“I don’t know what they are and I don’t even know who they are. I don’t get it. And it would be too awkward to watch them in something L.A. because they don’t belong there.”

Someone sounds awfully defensive. Frankel can’t honestly believe that in this day and age, where anyone with a pulse signs on for a reality show (Mario Lopez?!? Aubrey O’Day?!?), Bristol and Levi wouldn’t be the ideal stars of a series. As depressing as that may be.

Let’s turn this question over to the readers: Who would you prefer to watch?

David Boreanaz Sued For Sexual Harassment


Scandal seems to find David Boreanaz like Rachel Uchitel finds married celebrities. This story involves an unnamed woman, however – one suing the actor.

An actress is suing the married actor for sexual harassment. The lawsuit will be filed Thursday in downtown Los Angeles by famed attorney Gloria Allred.

Boreanaz, who plays Special Agent Seeley Booth on Fox’s Bones, recently admitted an affair with an unnamed woman, alleging he was being extorted.

That also-unknown mistress was also represented by Allred.

It is not clear if this is the same woman currently filing the sexual harassment suit, or if she’s a different accuser, but we should find that out shortly.

Bones to Pick

BONES TO PICK: Women apparently have some with David.

The harassment suit is the latest in a series of bizarrely scandalous events … well, they’re bizarre in large part because they involve David Boreanaz.

Most famously, tabloids claimed last year that Boreanaz carried on an affair with Rachel Uchitel, now famous as Tiger Woods’ Ambien-loving mistress.

Despite his infidelity, the actor admitted his failings and has said that he and wife Jaime Bergman are still committed to resolving their marital issues.

“Our marriage has been tainted with my infidelities,” he told People magazine in May. “We’re working on repairing what has been damaged so badly.”

Bones creator Hart Hanson relayed a message from him to the show’s fans, thanking them for support and expressing “sincere pain” from the ordeal.

UPDATE: The woman is identified only as Kristin, an extra on the show. She says David sent her “sexually inappropriate text messages” last August.

In Touch Exclusive Interview:Snooki’s father reveals what his daughter is really like


The world knows her as “Snooki,” the outrageous star of MTV’s Jersey Shore, but to Andy Polizzi, she’ll always be his daughter Nicole. “We adopted her when she was 6 months old — she was obviously a cute little thing,” Andy, who’s divorced from Snooki’s mom, tells In Touch. As a kid, Nicole was no wild child, but she did show signs of the spunk she’d become famous for. “She was a little shy, but then as she grew older she had an opinion, and she spoke her piece and said what she thought,” recalls Andy. “She was a daddy’s girl, very spoiled.” It was in middle school that Nicole got her nickname. “She was the first girl to kiss a guy and her friends started calling her ‘Snooki,’” says Andy. “From that point on, it just stuck.”

And though these days Snooki is still searching for “the one,” back in high school, the cheerleading standout thought she may have already found him. “She dated a guy for like five or six years, he was close to the family,” says Andy. “He was a good kid. She didn’t hang around with anyone who took drugs — that stuff turns her right off.” As far as future Snooki suitors, Andy says, “My only concern is that they are respecting Nicole.” And as far as those who criticize Snooki’s partying ways, Andy says, “Ninety-eight percent of everybody’s kids that age are doing what Nicole does; the difference is that she has cameras on her. She’s 22.”

Does Kellan Lutz Have the Best Beach Body?


According to Women’s Health, Brooklyn Decker has the best bikini body on the planet. We challenge any warm-blooded male to disagree with this fact.

Similarly, that publication’s partner magazine has released a poll with an obvious result: Kellan Lutz possesses the hottest beach body of any man in 2010.

The Twilight Saga star showed off his chiseled muscles and ridiculous abs in a recent Calven Klein underwear campaign. His body seems almost computer-generated, doesn’t it?

Very Healthy

Rounding out the top five in this poll were Mario Lopez, Zac Efron, Taylor Lautner and Matthew McConaughey.

Drool over these studs, as well as a few more in the top 10 below. Then, vote for the sexiest…

Is T.I. going Gaga?


He’s had smash hit collaborations with Rihanna, Usher and Justin Timberlake, but now T.I. is trying to land the ultimate duet partner, Lady Gaga, 24 — on a new song called “Lick It!” “I’m still trying to make that manifest,” says T.I., 29. “I think it’s an odd enough combination, but I think that both of us are able to diversify,” the “Live Your Life” rapper and new spokesman for Remy Martin cognac tells In Touch. “I have a lot of respect for her individuality, the daring to be different. And of course, everyone loves ‘Poker Face!’”

Oksana Grigorieva Investigated For Extortion of Mel Gibson; Actor’s Camp Alleges Hard Proof


Mel Gibson is under fire and facing allegations of domestic violence, but did Oksana Grigorieva try to blackmail the star regarding their now-infamous phone tapes?

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is now investigating that.

“Extortion allegations have been brought to our attention and we are certainly going to be looking at that,” Steve Whitmore of the sheriff’s department confirmed.

Tuesday, Gibson’s attorney argued to police that her team had solid proof that Oksana Grigorieva not only tried to extort the actor, but lied to the authorities.

Locked in a custody battle over eight-month-old daughter Lucia, Mel and Oksana, who broke up earlier this year, have traded serious allegations for weeks now.

The most significant? That he hit Oksana and Lucia, then attacked her son.

Oksana, Mel Photo

Both Mel and Oksana are now under investigation.

Photos purported to be of a battered Oksana and Lucia have surfaced online, and in the newest Mel Gibson tape, he allegedly acknowledges the Jan. 6 attack.

A rep for the dentist who examined Oksana the day after the incident says she sustained injuries from blows to the head. We’ll see what the police conclude.

Mel has denied any physical attack on his ex, however, and his camp has gone on record claiming she’s shaking him down – and may have altered the tapes.

Grigorieva’s attorney, Stephen Jaffe denied those allegations, saying his client “has repeatedly stated there is no credible evidence whatsoever of extortion.”

The feuding parties apparently agreed to a $15 million deal involving custody and the tapes in May, but for reasons unknown, Oksana left it on the table.

Michael Lohan to Kate Major: I Will Kill You!


Kate Major, Lindsay Lohan’s ex-assistant and Michael Lohan’s soon-to-be ex-fiancee, says he threatened to kill her, called her a “c**t” and kicked her in the face.

Never a sign of a stable, long-term relationship.

According to the police report and formal complaint she filed against the deadbeat dad she somehow agreed to marry, Michael Lohan assaulted her – and worse:

“My fiance Michael Lohan came home while I was sleeping in a sofa chair. He woke me up, yelling, ‘Why didn’t you pick up your cell phone, you stupid c**t.’”

“He then turned over the chair while I was still in it, tossing me to the floor. I crawled to the other side of the room to get away from him. He walked over to me, took his shoe off and kicked me in the face while I was still on the ground.”

Major, K.Michael Lohan Mug Shot

“He stood over me and said, ‘I’m going to go back to jail cause of you, cause I will kill you.’ He said all of this to me cause he is afraid I’m going to leave him.”

“I am very afraid of him.”

So are we. He and Mel Gibson should get together and swap ideas.

Kate Major says she hit her head on the wall, then the floor as she fell. According to the police report, officials observed “Minor swelling observed on [her] lip.”

Michael says there was an argument but denied touching Kate. Apparently police don’t buy it, since Kate now has “Temporary Order of Protection” against him.

The Order prohibits the hothead loser from communicating with Major in any way. He’s also prohibited from having a “third party” contact or threaten her.

In the Order, signed by a judge at the Southampton Justice Court, he cannot engage in “any acts or threats of physical violence.” We’ll see if he can resist.

UPDATE: Michael has been charged with second degree harassment for the incident. He will be formally arraigned in Southampton, N.Y., court August 18.

Ali Fedotowsky: Frank Neuschaefer Who!?


Frank Neuschaefer’s shocking betrayal of Ali Fedotowsky, who he turned the tables on and dumped for his ex Nicole Caruso, rocked The Bachelorette this week.

But if you think Ali was effectively forced into her final two (Chris Lambton and Roberto Martinez) thanks to Frank and his surprise 180, you best think again.

“I can say with 100 percent certainty that Frank leaving did not affect my final decision,” Ali Fedotowsky told E! Online after being asked about Frank’s exit.

Which is not to say it didn’t wreak havoc at the time.

“There were so many things that were going through my mind,” she recalls. “The first being upset in general because I had really strong feelings for Frank, but also I just wondered if the whole journey was going to work out for me.”

“I felt defeated. I’ve been hurt in the way Frank hurt me before. I had an ex that actually reminded me of Frank, who in the past left me for an ex-girlfriend.”

Says the adorable 25-year-old Bachelorette star: “I know now in retrospect there’s nothing wrong with me, but at the time I couldn’t help but feel that way.”

She says she’s excited to face fans and former suitors – Frank included – on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose special, because she’ll do so in the open.

“It’s the first time that – whether I’m single or I’m engaged or I’m with someone – I get to be that,” says the Massachusetts native. “I’ve been living this secret life for the past three months, and I’m just excited to be whatever I am.”

“And of course I’m going to see Frank for the first time, which is going to be interesting. I’m intrigued to see what he has to say, and how he’s feeling.”

So are we. But in the meantime, who should she pick?!

NOTE: Check out The Bachelorette spoilers here for the latest speculation on what happens on the August 2 finale. Next week is the Men Tell All special.

Kanye West: Reportedly Shagging Shay


Kanye West has traded in short hair for gigantic breasts.

The rapper has moved on from Amber Rose and multiple sources – such as The Daily Mirror – now link him romantically to Shay. Yes, the Shay.

This Kenyan native is a model who moved to Great Britain when she was two years old. She’s lived there ever since; stands five feet eight inches; and claims her 30JJ-26-37 measurements are all natural.

We have little doubt that Kanye and Shay will be together forever and ever.

Fortunately, Rose has also found a new love interest: she’s been spotted out and about with Reggie Bush this summer.

New Taylor Momsen Video: Too Racy For Her Age?


Taylor Momsen says she’s not Miley f’ing Cyrus.

The two seem to have a similar urge to let their inner bad girls loose, however. Like the Hannah Montana pioneer, this is one Gossip Girl star who can’t be tamed!

Taylor’s band, The Pretty Reckless, just released a music video for their song “Miss Nothing,” and, like Miley, she’s already being criticized for being too risque.

She’s 16 going on 17 (Monday), but she looks like she’s 16 going on 30 in this video, which can be unintentionally funny, edgy, lame and sexy at the same time.

Okay, nix that last part. It’s not sexy. Sixteen. So wrong. We’re curious to hear what you think, though. Check out the “Miss Nothing” video below and vote in our poll:

What do you think of Taylor Momsen’s new video? Too racy?
