The Tori & Dean Movie: God Help Us All!

Josh loposer — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:30:00 GMT

That's right, some producers at Oxygen actually think that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's 3 years of marraige is worthy of not only a reality show, but a made-for-TV movie as well.

Seriously, do people want to watch a romantic comedy based on their marriage? Seems like season three of Home Sweet Hollywood is more than enough Tori and Dean, but who knows?

Is there really enough story to work with? They must plan on getting a lot of mileage out of Dean leaving his wife to be with Tori. And then there's the whole Candy Spelling debacle ... but then what?

Sure, they've had two kids together, Liam and Stella, but they're not really old enough to get into any serious trouble that would make for an interesting movie. Oh wait, this is a made-for-TV movie on Oxygen -- guess the bar isn't set all that high.

I'm guessing that Tori will play herself, but who will they get to play her mother? They're not exactly on the best of terms right now, both blaming each other for their estrangement. I'm going to go ahead and nominate Barbara Walters.

Ladies On 'The View' Try To Make Tori Apologize To Her Mother (Video)

Josh loposer — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:30:00 GMT

Now that Tori Spelling has released a book about about parenting called Mommywood, the drama surrounding she and her mother Candy's falling out is really ratcheting up a notch. During Tori's appearance on The View yesterday, both Barbara and Joy got all up in up in her bidness about reaching out to mommy (video after the jump).

Whoa, if the ladies on The View can't solve it in the course of a 7 minute interview, it must be a really serious problem.

While they may be right in a lot of ways, it really just looked like Babs and Joy are bullying Tori in order to get some kind of ratings-boosting online reconciliation going, and Tori's just not having any of it.

I've got to say, I'm kinda impressed with the way Tori stuck to her guns -- even when the crew started laying on the guilt trip about how the "feud" was hurting her children Liam and Stella's relationship with their grandmother.

Did they really expect to break Tori down and have a Kumbaya session on the show? I'm kinda thinking that they did. Hopefully, Tori and Candy will one day bury the hatchet, but apparently the hard sell didn't work.

Womb With a 'View': Elisabeth Hasselbeck is Pregnant

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 19:05:00 GMT

The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck announced on this morning's show that she is expecting her third child. "I'm pregnant again!” she said. "I'm due in August. I'll try to pop this one out before we leave [on summer hiatus], Barbara."

Hasselbeck and her husband Tim are already parents to daughter Grace, 3, and son Taylor Thomas, 14 months.

"We were thoroughly happy with the surprise of it," she said. "I didn't even know for two months." The conservative Hasselbeck, who often spars with her liberal co-hosts, says she mistakenly thought she was just tired from the excitement surrounding the election, but "No – I was knocked up and didn’t realize it!"

Congratulations Elisabeth! If it's a boy, how about naming it Barack?

Barbara Walters Wants Sherri Shepherd Off The View

Karen — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:52:00 GMT

Sherri Shepherd has been getting on Barbara Walters last nerve.

From The National Enquirer:

“Barbara has had it with her,” said the source. “Barbara was shocked that Sherri would say she needs to be ’saved’. She’s dumbfounded by the stupid things that keep coming out of Sherri’s mouth…

Barbara has been saying that Sherri’s a “loose cannon,” added the source. “And after hearing what she said to a Christian magazine, word came back from Barbara that she wants to boot her off the show.

“Barbara thinks Sherri has become far worse of a problem than Star Jones and Rosie’s O’Donnell when they were on the show - and that’s saying a lot!”

While Barbara is ready to see Sherri move on from “The View,” insiders say it’s unlikely there will be a dramatic firing.“Barbara may first give her a chance to shape up before shipping her out…

“And if Barbara does let Sherri go, expect a fun farewell with the whole gang saying only nice things about Sherri in public.”

I hate that show. All the crosstalk between them gives me a headache. They're like a bunch of baby birds in a nest - lots of squacking, bird brains.

Discussion on "The View" Gets Emotional Over Jesse Jackson's Use of The "N" Word

Karen — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:02:00 GMT

The debate on the popular daytime talk show, "The View" got quite heated and ended with Elizabeth Hasselbeck in tears. The discussion revolved around Jesse Jackson's use of the "N" word in leaked footage.

New York Post: Heath Ledger Was "'Reckless, Greedy and Selfish."

Karen — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:35:00 GMT

Andrea Peyser of the New York Post has written a scathing post about Heath Ledger that has talk shows reeling with debate. I cannot believe the NY Post published this piece of trash.

Peyser wrote:

"There is nothing noble or beautiful about the so-called accidental death of Heath Ledger, a man with everything to live for - a beautiful daughter, a blossoming career, and a Victoria's Secret catalogue-full of willing babes," News.com.au quoted her, as stating in her column.

"He threw it away, as gamely as if he had put a gun to his mouth and pulled the trigger. He was reckless and greedy. He was fundamentally selfish.

"Now his daughter will grow up never knowing the man she worshipped from birth; his parents must bury a son they cherished," she added.

Peyser further said that people should not cry for Ledger.

"Cry for Heath's daughter. Cry for his parents. Cry for Michelle Williams. But don't cry for Heath," she said.

The View's Whoopi Goldberg said the columnist was "pot shotting."

"If you're going to say 'cry for his wife and cry for his daughter' then you cannot sit there and not cry for him," Goldberg said.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck co-host on 'The View,' said the column was 'irresponsible'.

"I thought 'You don't know him'. For me, it just made me sad because he was dealing with some demons be it depression or anxiety or a lack of sleep," Hasselbeck said.

"To not know someone's situation and certainly not knowing their intention, to make those claims, I thought was slightly irresponsible," she added.

The entire piece is vile, hateful and above all else, ignorant. The truth about Heath ledger has been told -- we released it within days of the accident. He suffered from depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, as Hasselbeck said. He did run with a crowd who did drugs and he himself was not into that. The man was troubled. These drugs he took to try and give himself some relief, some sleep, ended fatally and was 100% an accident. I doubt Peyser knew Ledger. I doubt she knew his friends.

The man needed help, no question -- but his death was not a suicide. It was the result of poor medical care and a failing health system, which includes the pathetic mental health system America has.

Rosie O'Donnell Sends Gifts to Elizabeth Hasselbeck's Baby Boy

Karen — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:03:00 GMT

Rosie O sure talks a lot. You guys know I can't stand her, but she wants the world to know just how wonderful she is.

*rolls eyes*

So she sent baby gifts to Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Big deal. People reports:

"He's very, very cute. I saw him on TV, and I sent him a lovely gift, and [she and Hasselbeck] have been e-mailing each other. And peace prevails."

The View got it's Hassle Back this week - and Lizzie brought the baby with her.

Remember when I said Rosie couldn't shut up? There's more:

"I sent something for him and something for his big sister [Grace, 2]," said O'Donnell. "Because, as the mother of four, I know that when the newborn arrives, the most important thing is a sibling gift. For [Taylor], it was a lot of clothes, because babies spit up a lot. I go to Baby Gap. There is a standard newborn gift pack – as much as you can buy at the Gap without being arrested. And a learning gift, a soft shape sorter. And then for [Grace] who is older, I got a tea set that she loves."

"We e-mail back and forth," she said. "She seems good. She looks like she adopted, like she didn't give birth. She looks perfectly fit and gorgeous already."

Hasselbeck Baby On View

HerBadMother — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:36:00 GMT

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, fresh off of maternity leave, brought her new son to sit in as a guest host on her first day back at The View today.

Two-month old Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck (undeniably adorable, I have to admit) joined mom and co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd. "I thought I'd bring a little testosterone to the table today," said Hasselbeck. "He's huge," she gushed. "He's almost like 12 pounds, I think. He's just constantly on me. I call myself the Dairy Queen."

Nice. Like I needed to hear about the gushing mounds that are Elisabeth Hasselbeck's boobs. Isn't there some rule for Republicans that says that they're never allowed to talk about their body parts? There should be. Somebody get Ann Coulter on that one.

Break Out the Champagne! Elisabeth Hasselbeck Returns to The View

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 01:50:00 GMT

Apparently it's a very big deal that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is returning to The View on Monday after a two-month maternity leave. I'm not sure why since I've never watched the show, but I hear people are pretty excited about it; taking the day off of work to watch it, having 'Welcome Back Elisabeth' parties and inducing births so that they can say, "My baby was born on the day Elisabeth returned to The View!"

I'm totally making all of this up, of course. Who would induce birth for such a ridiculous event? It's not like when I did it, so that I could be back home in time to watch the American Idol finale.

Rosie O'Donnell Voted Most Annoying Celebrity

Karen — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:04:00 GMT

Parade Magazine is my new favorite publication. Not only did they recognize the darling Violet Affleck as the Cutest Baby in Hollywood, but they realize the power of the obvious: Rosie O'Donnell is ANNOYING.

Rosie went straight to her annoying website and posted an annoying video blog: "I am the most annoying, I suppose, but whatever."

Her daughter Vivi did not agree: "No, you're not!"

My other picks for most annoying celebs: Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Britney Spears and Larry Birkhead. It's a 4-way tie in my book. Oh look! All those people are PARENTS. FANTASTIC.

Top 10 Celebrity Parent Trainwrecks

Karen — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 17:09:00 GMT

Celebrity Cowboy came up with a list of the Top Ten Celebrity Trainwrecks of 2007 and 4 of them are frequent subjects here at Famecrawler. I thought I'd make it an even 10 Celebrity Parents, so we have our own list here too.

Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole, Rosie O'Donnell, and of COURSE Britney all made Celebrity Cowboy's list.

But who rounded out Famecrawler's Top Ten Celebrity Parent Trainwrecks?

In addition to the above 4 trainwrecky parents, we've added the following 6:

Larry Birkhead has tried to trick the public into believing he wants what is best for daughter Dannilynn, but if he really wanted to protect her, he would stop exploiting her via magazine covers and this ridiculous reality television show with her. Ever since the entire fight over Dannilynn began, I've wanted to adopt that beautiful girl and give her a normal life.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck can't be left out, especially if Rosie made the list. Oh who am I kidding? My disdain for both of them is equal and stronger than Rosie's man hands. Strong convictions made the pair entertaining and frustrating to watch on The View, but strong convictions do not constitute intelligent arguments. When Hasselbeck announced she would be mommyblogging for Dreft Detergent, I had to wonder if it shouldn't have been renamed Daft Detergent. Or Annoying Wordy Crock of Crap Detergent. I can't think of a worse spokesperson to have for a mommyblogger. Well there's Britney.

Once upon a time there was a rich girl who's Daddy was powerful and made all her dreams come true. Then the little girl grew up (sortof) and married that guy that gets pulled into every endevour her little brain can conjure up. Tori Spelling may be new at unclogging toilets, but since having her baby she has done some pretty boring things and we all pick on her because she acts kinda dumb and none of us have ever liked her or that Donna Martin twit. The end.

Heather Mills. Insane, money grubbing trollop. Need I say more? She is doing enough talking, no?

Mate Koss, er, Moss Mate, um, *giggle* Peach Schnapps....*falls to floor and passes out.*

Denise Richards & Charlie Sheen have said some absolutely awful things in the press. And if they are both willing to say such damaging things so publicly, then tell me, how much worse does it get, in front of the kids behind closed doors? Disgusting.

I know there are more trainwrecky celeb parents but I had to stop at 10. Who would you have added?

Rosie O'Donnell Considers Doing a Show "In Blogville"; If She Comes Near FameCrawler I'm Outta Here

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 00:15:00 GMT

Lock the doors and password-protect your servers: Rosie O'Donnell is coming to a URL near you. MSNBC cut off negotiations with O'Donnell after she prematurely started yapping about it, and now the TV bully has decided to take it out on billions of innocent internet users. "I'm going to figure out a way to do a show here, in my blogville, because I really think it's the next way anyway," And by "next way" she means the next way to get scores of people to tune her out by taking a sledgehammer to their computers.

For some reason I've got a sinking feeling, like knowing that the family who's moving in next door has got six-foot speakers in their living room, a bullhorn mounted on their car and a drum set in their garage.

Famecrawler: Stories You Loved and Hated

Karen — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 15:04:00 GMT

Either way, Famecrawler editors are more than happy to highlight some of the celebricrap that has transpired of late:

- Oscar De La Hoya was caught in fishnet stockings, and we have the pics to prove it. Or do we? There were rumours of Photoshop at work!

- Jerry Seinfeld's wife Jessica was on Oprah and released a cookbook that is a hit with parents, but will kids eat cookies with mashed veggies in them?

- Catherine wants to smack Elizabeth Hasslebeck upside the head. I'm right behind you Catherine, I even dug my Doc Martens out of the basement. When this loudmouth takes maternity leave, why don't they just replace her with Ann Coulter, or better yet, Bill Maher?

- J-Lo pulled a publicity stunt that made us all wonder why she bothered. It's not like anyone cares if she's pregnant with twins. The whole secrecy thing was overdone and I'm pretty sure we've all lost interest but her charade was good for a few laughs.

- The fact that Martha Stewart pays $28,000 a MONTH to get her daughter knocked up? Creepy!

- Disney's Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus came clean on pregnancy and street cred.

- Britney Spears has been in our headlines constantly, but her constant leakage has been popular. Check out this hilarious parody video that Sweatpants Mom posted! Oh baby, not that kind of leakage, though she's definitely shown us some of that. No no kids, I mean the songs, the video and most importantly, the UNCUT version. With boobies! Here's 12 reasons NOT to bother buying the album though. You're welcome. If that's not enough, there is always her sex tape!

Elizabeth Hasselbeck Does Crafts in the Park Without A Judge's Orders

Karen — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 12:04:00 GMT

Look Britney! You could be hanging out with Elizabeth Hasslebeck! In the park! Doing crafts! Like the judge said!

Oh wait, that would probably push you right over the edge. Nevermind.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck Compares Fight with Rosie to a Softball Game: We Wish She Had a Bat in Hand

Karen — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 13:03:00 GMT

Hasselbeck is no stranger to confrontation, especially regarding her Conservative views:

“Being a conservative mother isn't the challenge. Being a conservative in New York City on television is the challenge.” she recently told Pregnancy Magazine.

Her quarrel with Rosie O'Donnell on The View earlier this year, found Hasselbeck trying to keep her cool by think about her college days when she was Captain of the softball team:

“I almost had the same feeling in me as when I had a championship [softball] game and I was up to bat and the pressure was on. I'm very lucky that tears didn't come out ... Unfortunately when a woman cries, it's never seen as a sign of strength and never seen in a positive light.”

Now pregnant with her 2nd child and due in November, whether you agree with her views or not, you have to give her credit for sticking to what she believes:

“I had more reassurance and affirmation as to why I have felt the things I've felt for a long time,” she tells the magazine of getting pregnant. “And as a mom, now I want to make sure that the decisions I'm making and the votes that I'm casting are going to create long-term benefits for Grace and my next child and hopefully more to come after that.”

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: The View Still Has One Big Obnoxious Loudmouth

Whit Honea — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 12:07:00 GMT

To say that I was torn over the Rosie and Liz tiff, is to imply that I cared. All I know about that scene is that it involved Rosie O'Donnell, who I love, like I love getting my teeth pulled, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whose husband carried my fantasy football team a couple of seasons ago.

So here's her husband, Matt... wait, she's married to Tim Hasselbeck? That guy has never done squat for my team.

So here's Tim and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, photographed at The Breeder's Cup Challenge. I don't know the rules about the breeding or the challenge, but she's pretty pregnant, don't they just get the cup?
