The Amazing Race All-Stars

For the 11th season of the CBS hit show, The Amazing Race, producers are banking on some former Reality TV stars. Rob Mariano & Amber Brkrich of Survivor & Big Brother fame are slated to appear. The reality couple sealed their fate in TV history when Rob proposed on the Survivor Finale and they had their wedding taped for a CBS special. Also returning are "Coal Miner Couple" David & Mary Conley of Kentucky who were recently eliminated from The Amazing Race this season. Not being asked to return are Jonathan Baker & his wife, former Playboy Playmate Victoria Fuller. Arguably one of the worst bickering couples ever to land on TV. Also not being asked to return were Kim & Chip McAllister. The later expressing his displeasure at CBS Executives. Stating, "they could have at least called and asked us or made mention that they were thinking of us". They shouldn't feel bad, because season nine winners BJ Averell & Tyler MacNavien went off on Former Racer's Blog via CBS about how they too felt left out.

At any rate the 11th season has already begun filming in Miami, Fl. last week. The show will as usual be hosted by the enigmatic Phil Keoghan. The show will air the first part of next year on CBS, stay tuned!

From "Surreal Life" to Real Life

Resident nut, Tawny Kitaen, 45, of 80's music video fame (Whitesnake's Is this Love?), was recently arrested for drug possession. For those of you that watched Surreal Life on VH1 and wondered as to how sane Kitaen was, I guess you know now. Ms. Kitaen was in possession of 15 grams of cocaine. If convicted she could do up to 15 years in the slammer. This isn't Ms. Kitaen's first run in with the law. Tawny was previously married to Major League Baseball Pitcher Chuck Finely, who accused her of Domestic Assault in 2002 for allegedly hitting him with, you guessed it, a baseball bat. She was ordered to undergo counseling in exchange for not going to jail. Ms. Kitaen is due in court December 15.

Project Baby

Heidi Klum, 33 and her husband Seal, 43 have welcomed their second son. The boy was born Wednesday, named Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel. What in the world is going on with all those names? That kid won't have a clue when they ask him to write his full name in school. According to Seal, the baby looks just like Heidi. Johan weighed in at 8lbs. 11oz. The baby joins the couples two other children.

Heidi has a daughter, Leni (2), from a previous relationship with Formula One Race car Founder Flavio Briatore. That turkey later went on to say that perhaps Leni wasn't his and that pretty much spelled the end of their relationship. That's when Ms. Klum took up with Contemporary singer Seal who has been a father to Leni since birth. The couple then went on to have son, Henry, 1. He has an equally long name, that I will not be typing today.

The happy couple will split time between L.A. & NYC. Congratulations, Heidi & Seal.

AMA Winners & One Pop Loser

This year the AMA' s gave out awards to Black Eyed Peas (who are a little over-rated) who collected in all 3 of the categories they were nominated in. Red Hot Chili Peppers also picked up two awards, as did Mary J Blige who won for Best R & B Vocals. Also picking up statues were Kelly Clarkson, who nabbed two that were given out prior to the show being aired. Jamie Foxx picked up an award as well for favourite Male R & B artist. No show winners included country super couple Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, rapper Eminem, & "Hips Don't Lie" singer Shakira.

But the huge loser of the night was Mariah Carey. The stellar voiced singer was left hanging again, by the voters of the AMA's. She was snubbed in 2005 when nominated for 4 only took home one. Which is slightly better than when in 1997 she was nominated for 6 awards and went home completely empty handed.

The night wasn't a total bust. Some surprises included Britney Spears presenting Mary J with an award. Ms. Spears was looking sleek in a cream colored gown and straight blond hair. While the night belonged to hot performances. Another new mom, Gwen Stefani performed "Wind It Up" from her 4th titled CD "The Sweet Escape". Also coming back into performing was rapper Jay-Z who did "Show Me What You Got" from his new album "Kingdom Come". The crowd was brought to it's feet when Lionel Richie introduced by the "shrinking woman" performed his 80's classic "All Night Long".

Diddy's Girly Baby Shower

Diddy (aka-Sean Combs) & long time girlfriend Kim Porter celebrated the pending arrival of their twin girls in style, Sunday in New York City. The Pink & White shower was done by Ga Ga Designs. The shower was attended by family & friends which included LL Cool J & New York Socialite Denise Rich. Those not making the shower but leaving behind opulent baby gifts, were Denzel Washington who gave Diddy & Kim a pink & white Chandelier & Jay-Z who gifted them with one of a kind Changing Tables. Speaking of gifts, the Baby Registry was in excess of $100,000. Some items that made the list were a Mercedes Benz $88,000 for Diddy & the girls to ride in, $17,000 Diamond studded Pacifier, & several $1,000 baby outfits. I don't know about y'all but I wouldn't mind being born again as one of Diddy's kids.

The shower wasn't all play time for guest, the shower had a few teary moments, when Sean professed his love for Kim. According to PEOPLE, Diddy publicly said "I thank God for giving me a woman that has been down with me, my faults, my flaws & all the other B.S. I have. You're my best friend, & I love you". Aw, the softer side of Diddy.

Let's Get Ready To Rumble!!

In the blue corner, we've got loud mouth, Ms. I have an opinion on Everybody Rosie O'Donnell, and in the red corner, Too Cute-Regis Philbin is my friend Kelly Ripa, getting ready for a showdown. All this stemming from comments made by Ripa last week, after she co-hosted LIVE with former American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken. Aiken stepped on Ms. Ripa's last nerve it seems when he covered her mouth (totally gross) with his hand to make a comment to Dancing with the Stars' winners Emmitt Smith & Cheryl Burke. Ms. Ripa jokingly said something to the effect of, "take your hand off my face, honey, 'cause I don't know where your hand has been". Ain't that the truth!

Seems Ms. Up in Everybody's business Rosie, said that the comment sounded "homophobic" to her and that Ms. Ripa was less than respectful. Whatever! I don't know who in their right mind would let someone just cover their mouth, that they don't know, as if they've been friends for decades. O'Donnell went on to tell her VIEW girls and audience that Ripa wouldn't have said jack if it had been a cute, straight man. That she would have said something entirely different.

This prompted Kelly to call up Rosie and tell her that the hand comment came from the fact that Aiken had been greeting the audience and hello, it's cold & flu season and she didn't want to catch anything. She also said that was nothing but respectful. I don't blame her, hell, I know someone who refuses to shake hands based on those grounds alone, using the phrase "Colds & Flu, don't come near".

Rosie, is too uptight and just needs to get a life!

Bushette Gets Robbed

G Dubs little girl got robbed. Damn doesn't she get Secret Service protection too? Guess not. Barbara Bush (named after his momma) was robbed while in Buenos Aires, Argentina on vacation. Her purse and heavens no, the Cell Phone were all taken while she was dining in a lovely little upscale neighborhood. Since this one isn't the so called alcoholic, I'll be nice and let ole girl off with a warning. Next time scream like you're being robbed, ya hear!

American Music Awards Tonight

Check out some early arrivals, including Flava Flav and that played out gigantic choke clock.

Hollywood Legend Passes

Hollywood film director of such films like "MASH", "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" & "Nashville", Robert Altman has died at the age of 81. Altman was considered a maverick by Hollywood movie standards, for his incoherent style of directing. It would definitely be planned to look more chaotic than necessary. Altman, born in Kansas City, Missouri, was also very interested in keeping an independent style to his films that registered on the social conscience and not just for entertainment purposes.

OJ Cancelled

OJ Simpson, has been cancelled. Due to unrelenting public outrage, FOX affiliates refusing to run the show, and pressure from the Brown & Goldman families the TV Interview as well as the book have been yanked! Of course Simpson and his lawyer Yale Galanter said that they had suspected as much would happen several days prior to Monday's announcement. Ok, if they expected it, than what kind of attorney would have even given their client the thumbs up to right such a book. It's not like this is really controversial, it's really just a pathetic sad little man's last hope at not disappearing from the public eye. Everyone pretty much has made up their mind as to his guilt.

However, about the only person who will suffer a minimal loss is Judith Regan, publisher of Regan Books. She probably would have made a few million I'm sure. But she really aught to be thanking her lucky stars, because they really put everything she had ever done in serious question. Even though she's published some gaudy crap. She has done some other really good books.

As far as whether or not Simpson got paid, I'll let y'all figure that one out. I'll just say, he doesn't look like a man that would do anything for free?

Are They or Aren't They?

Seems like popular denial couple Jessica Simpson & John Mayer can't seem to agree on if they're a couple. Now of course we shouldn't assume that just because they spent a lovely evening together in Beverly Hills, Saturday, that they are a couple. But sources say that several times in the evening, Ms. Simpson had her head on Mayer's chest and they were definitely doing more than gum swapping too. It seems that the quiet Mayer just may have a thing for Daisy Duke after all.

What's Wrong with Lohan

Lindsay Lohan, just can't keep it together. Ol' girl was supposed to host the World Music Awards, but according to Page Six, Ms. Thang left after a few minutes. I guess when she didn't get her way she said she was outta there. Shortly after she left, she was seen with several cuts and scratches on her arms. Reps deny anything serious stating she fell in a bush. Hello, you can't see the bush on the ground from the maze of haze you're in. Honey, you got problems!

Look Who's Legal

Ozzie & Sharon Osbourne's youngest that didn't fall far enough from the tree, Jack Osbourne turned 21 over the weekend. How'd he celebrate? A birthday dinner at STAX Restaurant & Bar at The Mirgae Hotel & Casino. He later partied at JET nightclub.

Brit Brit's Back

The one & only, Oops I Did it Again, star was in Las Vegas, Friday, enjoying her single self again. She and Palms Casino owner, George Maloof, made the rounds at the Form Shops at Caesars Palace before meeting up with her on again manager, Larry Rudolph. As the evening went on Ms. Spears managed to meet Dancing with the Stars, runner up Mario Lopez. Where they then went & partied at the Moon Nightclub at the Palms. All this after Britney reportedly won, $10, 000 at the Blackjack Tables. YOU GO GIRL! Nothing looks better to a soon to be loser ex-husband than a wife whose already loaded and then wins more money without his shaggy behind in tow. Plus I have to say Ms. Spears is really showing out with her brand new body. Hey K-Fed, go ahead & hurl. I'm sure there's a bucket close by in your new dump.

Jamie Foxx Under the Knife

Superstar Jamie Foxx, reportedly had surgery to correct a malfunctioning gland recently. He had surgery to remove the parathyroid gland in the neck. Not sure what that does, but according to medical dictionaries it involves how your body absorbs calcium. The health conscious actor is said to be relieved that the situation is resolved. Because it was really affecting his sex life. Mmm-umm, Foxx reportedly thinks he's all that by claiming to make love everyday for 30 minutes for his daily exercise. That's it, I kind of expected more!
