Bethenny Frankel, star of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City, has reportedly rearranged her upcoming nuptials so that the ceremony can be filmed for TV.
The professional chef and popular reality star — who is expecting her first child — has changed the date of her wedding to beau Jason Hoppy to fit Bravo’s shooting schedule, The New York Post spilled in Sunday’s edition of PageSix.
“If she’s a heavily pregnant bride, she’ll get more attention. The other housewives are so grossed out by how fake she is, none will attend the wedding unless Bravo makes them,” says an insider. “She doesn’t even want the other wives at her wedding. She feels she’s a bigger star.”
Earlier this year, the network announced that Bethenny would invite fans to follow her in the wedding planning process on the Real Housewives spinoff Bethenny Getting Married, premiering later this year.
South Park kicks off its 14th season with a swift kick in the pants to scandal-scarred golfer Tiger Woods. Over thw past 13 seasons, the boys have been haunted by dead celebrities, poked fun at the Church of Scientology, and stuck it to former President Bush. Now, the foul-mouthed fourth-graders are back for another season of politically-incorrect side-splitting — beginning with the headline-grabbing sex scandal that rocked Woods late last year.
Details on the feature are not available yet, but the show is expected to include a bit of the athlete’s apology for serial infidelity. South Park returns with seven all-new episodes this Wednesday, March 17 at 10 PM ET/PT on Comedy Central. The series celebrates its milestone 200th episode on Wednesday, April 14.
Jude Law has hashed out a custody and support arrangement with the mother of his lovechild.
The British lothario — who recently reunited with former fiancee Sienna Miller — became a father for the fourth time in September after Florida-born model Samantha Burke became pregnant following a brief fling with the actor in late 2008. Per the deal, Jude will visit his daughter Sophia at least twice a year, once around Christmas, and provide a total of $5,000 a month in child support payments to Burke. In exchange, the young model signed a confidentiality agreement, which will prevent her rom talking to the press.
Wow — he’s going to see his child a whooping two times a year!? Way to stay in your daughter’s life, Jude.
Teen mom Jamie Lynn Spears is leaving Louisiana — and her older boyfriend — to move back to Los Angeles, where she’ll live with her famous sister, Britney Spears, in a bid to jumpstart her stalled acting career.
The move is being spearheaded by Jamie Lynn & Britney’s mom, Lynne, who is determined to separate her 18-year-old daughter from the local businessman she’s been bedding for months, “tattlers” with The National Enquirer dished last week.
Jamie Lynn began seeing James Watson, 28, after splitting from former teen sweetheart Casey Aldridge — the father of her 20-month-old daughter Maddie — in late 2009. Lynne is disturbed by the decade age difference between the lovers and has arranged for Jamie Lynn and Maddie to move into Britney’s Los Angeles mansion as the young mother navigates the Hollywood job scene.
Jamie Lynn hasn’t had an acting gig since leaving her Nickelodeon hit, Zooey 101, after becoming pregnant at age 16.
An insider tells The Enquirer: “Lynne is very unhappy about Jamie Lynn’s relationship with James. She thinks he’s too old for Jamie Lynn and has nothing to offer her. Lynne wants to see her daughter back into show business.”
They don’t call her the Ice Madam for nothin’….The new season of Dancing With The Stars likely won’t put an end to Kate Gosselin’s reputation as a chilly and tough as nails Melrose Place supermeanie.
Gosselin is one of 12 C-list celebs who will be showing off their fancy footwork on the upcoming 10th season of DWTS, and show snitches tattle that the reality Octomom has gone out of her way to treat her fellow competitors with disrespect.
“Kate doesn’t want anything to do with other contestants . . . While there’s a lot of camaraderie among the crew and other stars including Pamela Anderson, Kate has set herself apart . . . She wants to be queen bee,” blabs one tipster.
Dancing With The Stars — featuring Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, The Bachelor Jake Pavelka, and ex-Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson — premieres March 22 @ 8 PM on ABC.
In the four months since its series premiere, MTV’s Jersey Shore has single-handly managed to anger some of the leading Italian-American interest groups in the country. Nonetheless, Venice and Rome are about to get a crash course in fist-pumping.
MTV Italia has purchased the rights to the first season of the controversial reality hit about a group of twentysomethings spending the summer in a popular New Jersey resort town, Variety said Friday.
MTV’s Italian affiliate will begin airing the antics of Snooki, The Situation, and the rest of the guidos and guidettes of Seaside Heights on Monday, March 22 @ 10/9c.
A private Guns N’ Roses concert in Brazil erupted in rioting last week after frontman Axl Rose and his fellow rockers pulled out of the A-list event at the last minute.
The “Welcome to the Jungle” stars were set to perform at an exclusive Sao Paulo club event hosted by supermodel Ana Beatriz Barros last Friday night, according to The New York Post. Hundreds of angry fans waited hours for the band to take to the stage, but the revellers turned violent when they were told the band would not play at 3 AM.
“The audience got angry and started to mount the stage, and fight and destroy everything. It was wild. There were fights everywhere, on the dance floor, in the bathrooms, outside the club. Crazy. I guess the free drinks didn’t help,” a frightened witness divulged.
On Wednesday, more than 100 Metallica fans were arrested after rioting erupted outside a concert venue in Bogata, Colombia, forcing the band to hire additional extra security for the remainder of its South American tour.

All that Gaga touches isn’t gold, and the pop hitmaker’s “Telephone” is getting a dialtone from MTV — at least that’s the story CNN is telling.
On Sunday, the ratings-starved cable news network issued a report claiming “Telephone,” the popular video collaboration featuring two of the biggest names in music, Lady Gaga and Beyonce, has been banned by MTV for its “raunchy provocativeness.”
Are we talking about the same network that airs Jersey Shore?
MTV, on the other hand, denies that “Telephone” has been taken out of rotation. Network bosses promptly issued a series of Tweets ensuring Gaga fanatics that the video has not been banned from MTV:
“The report is false..we’ve been airing it on amtv since friday morning and we’re not douchebags (or sexist)….”MTV’s Manager of Programming, Tuma Basa, wrote on the network’s Twitter page early Monday.
Well, that about sums it up.
(We’ve been hard-pressed to take CNN’s word for anything ever since they fell for that 100-year-old Coney Island hot dog hoax last month….)
The extravagant “Telephone” video — an tribute to director Quentin Tarantino — premiered online on Thursday and by Sunday had already been viewed more than 11 million times on YouTube. In fact, “Telephone’s” already well on its way to surpassing YouTube views for Gaga’s popular “Bad Romance” video, which has been watched more than 140 million times since last summer.
Directed by Jonas Akerlund, who also helmed the Grammy winner’s “Paparazzi” video, the controversial new video begins with two bra-flashing guards escorting Gaga to her prison cell as an audience of incarcerated girls looks on seductively. The next nine-and-a-half minutes are filled with tons of profanity, nudity, murder, and mounds of product placement.
. How many products did YOU count? Here’s what we saw:
– Wonderbread
– Miracle Whip
– Honey Bun
– PlentyofFish.com
– Heartbeats by Gaga headphones
– Virgin Mobile
– Diet Coke
– Polaroi
– The Pussywagon: The signature truck from Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill movies.
What’s your take on Gaga’s racy new video – Too Hot for MTV?

Attention All Promoters & Business Owners Interested In Booking The Cast Of MTV’s Jersey Shore: Jenni “J-WOWW” Farley doesn’t do Escalades!
Word on The Snitch Circuit claims the busty bike enthusiast scoffed when a limo company sent a Cadillac Escalade to transport her from her home in Long Island to the Estate Club in Boston, where she was scheduled to make an appearance last weekend.
“First she made the car wait 45 minutes. Then she told the driver she doesn’t travel in Escalades,” one tattle blabs.
The Estate Club — who hired the car company — promptly made arrangements for a limo to pick up the Jersey Shore guidette.
Let’s take it down a notch, Toots! They should have made her take the Bolt Bus to Beantown. Sounds like Snooki & The Gang are getting a bit beside themselves. Someone has the kids under the psychotic misconception that they’re actually going to be relevant two years from now. Imagine that….
A stage version of John Grisham’s bestselling 1989 suspense thriller A Time to Kill is on its way to Broadway.
A play based on Grisham’s tale about an African-American Southerner on trial for murdering two White men who raped his young daughter will show at Washington’s Arena Stage May 6 through June 19, The Washington Post said this week.
The production is expected to open on NYC’s famed theater district shortly thereafter.
This is the first time a work by Grisham has been adapted for the stage. A film adaptation of the novel — featuring Matthew McConaughey, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kiefer Sutherland — debuted in 1996.

NeNe Leakes, the saucy star of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, scrapped a scheduled appearance on the Big Apple’s Good Day New York Friday after realizing that the AM show airs on a FOX News affiliate.
According to reports, the outspoken Southern belle was set to promote her autobiography Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, but sources on the set claim NeNe realized it was a FOX show just a few minutes before her appearance and hauled butt out of there. Of course, not before telling everyone within earshot how much she hates the network.
She “stormed out, screaming I hate FOX! I didn’t know this was a FOX show,” a spokesperson for FOX told EW.
Word is NeNe’s still salty about a 2009 FOX Atlanta report that claimed the former stripper and her husband Greg are broke and were evicted from the ATL home featured on their hit reality series.
The Bachelor newest newlyweds, Jason and Molly Mesnick, are giving back to the less fortunate — and you can help by purchasing some collectibles from their recent wedding!
The Mesnicks, who married in a lavish ceremony in Rancho Palos Verdes, California on Feb. 27, are auctioning off a number of items from the ceremony, with 100% of the proceeds going to charity. Autographed table numbers, Mesnick’s Jorg Gray 6500 Chronograph Commemorative Edition watch, and a Neil Lane pendant Molly wore for the ceremony are among the items up for grabs.
Proceeds will benefit Jason’s non-profit organization, Project Parachute, which helps single parents with daycare costs.
Authorities in California believe the death of former teen actor Corey Haim could be linked to an illegal prescription drug ring.
The 38-year-old star of 1980s films such as The Lost Boys and Lucas was found dead earlier this week after an apparent overdose in the apartment he shared with his mother.
Investigators found no illegal drugs in the home, but they did discover four prescriptions for Vicodin, Valium, Haloperidol, and a muscle relaxant — all in Haim’s name. Cops now believe the illegal prescriptions could be linked to a local crew that has been writing phony prescriptions on stolen and fake doctor pads all over Hollywood.
“Corey Haim’s death is yet another tragedy linked to the growing problem of prescription-drug abuse,” says State Attorney General Jerry Brown, who recently took part in the investigation into Michael Jackson’s death. “This problem is increasingly linked to criminal organizations, like the illegal and massive prescription-drug ring under investigation. It’s a serious public health problem.”
It’s Splitsville for Ghost Whisperer co-stars Jamie Kennedy and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
The couple, who began dating early last year after Hewitt ended her relationship with former fiance Ross McCall, have called it quits, according to J-Love’s publicist.
Guess he’s seen the last of that vajazzled vajayjay!
Celebrity gossip gal Lisa Stanley of KEarth 101 broke the news on Thursday, when she reported that Kennedy was not present at Jennifer’s 31st birthday party last month.
Last October, the actress was forced to deny persistent rumors of a split amid allegations Kennedy was still in love with his ex-girlfriend, Shannon Funk, Britney Spears’ former assistant.
“There are people in your life who are just supportive and who just look at you and they see who you are,” J-Love said at the time. “And [Jamie] really saw who I was as a person more than anybody had ever done in my whole life. I think that’s for me when I sort of went, ‘Oh, wow.’”
Jennifer previously dated legendary lothario John Mayer and professional kayaker Brad Ludden.
