Will John McCain Go Rogue to Combat Sarah Palin?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rivalries, Rumors, Where Are They Now?

Sarah Palin has gone on record while promoting her new tell-all (Going Rogue) to speak out against the McCain camp…but her former running mate could soon answer with a few stories of his own.

Rumor has it that no less than thee different book agents and/or publishers have approached John McCain, offering many millions to get him to share his side of the story. One unnamed publisher is quoted as saying that such a tome “would be the hottest book of the year. Even bigger than Sarah’s book.”

But will McCain actually do it? Only time - and press releases - will tell.

Jon Gosselin Wants Out of His TLC Contract

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rivalries, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?

This probably isn’t the first time someone tried to cite a case of stupidity as a legal defense. Jon Gosselin, calling himself “an unsophisticated father of eight,” says he was in no position to sign a contract with TLC. He had no lawyer or manager to guide him, you see, so he can hardly be held accountable for putting his own legal name on legal paperwork.

Gosselin said the deal was bad from the start (so why did he continue for so many seasons…?), they only pulled down $2,000 per episode. He even attacked the cable network on another front, saying that TLC violated child labor laws. TLC denies these claims and states that Gosselin did have a lawyer at the contract meetings.

Sarah Palin Responds to Levi’s Johnston

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rivalries, Rumors

Levi Johnston has been getting a fair amount of press attention, a lot of it due to his association with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. You see, he’s going to bare it all in Playgirl and he happened to be the one to knock up Palin’s oldest daughter.

If that wasn’t enough, he’s made a few incendiary comments to the media recently regarding his dear, nearly mother-in-law. On a recent Early Show appearance, Levi called Palin’s song Trig “retarded,” (he’s got Down’s syndrome) and later added that he, Levi, could get Palin “in trouble and could hurt her.” Oh, do tell.

Kate Gosselin Wins Round 1

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rivalries, Where Are They Now?

Everything that’s been going on thus far was merely a warm-up to the real Jon and Kate Gosselin war, which got underway this week in court. So far, Kate’s ahead thanks to a ruling made by Judge Arthur R. Tilson.

For now, Jon Gosselin has been ordered to return $180,000 of the $235,000 he’s withdrawn from the joint bank account. According to Kate Gosselin lawyer Mark Momjian, Jon has to pony up the dough by October 26. “As difficult as this has been for me, I am pleased that the court has ruled fairly on behalf of myself and my children,” said Kate.

Let’s just pause for a second and really think about the staggering sum of $235,000, an amount which many Americans don’t earn even two years’ of work. As a matter of fact, the average firefighter/EMT earned approximately $47,000 annually in 2003…and they save lives.

Tracy Morgan Disses Former SNLers in New Book

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Rivalries

This Thursday’s return of 30 Rock isn’t the only thing Tracy Morgan fans should be looking forward to. Next week’s release of the comedian’s new book, I Am the New Black, promises to give us more backstage group than the fictional NBC program could provide.

In the autobiography, Morgan talks about his years on Saturday Night Live and is more than candid about those he liked and disliked. Part of what can be heard on an audio recording of the book is apparently an ad-libbed version of what is on the page. Either way, you might not think about former late-night players Cheri Oteri and Chris Kattan the same way again.

Jon Gosselin: Sorry, Kate

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Rivalries, Rumors

“Kate, I just want to apologize, you know for my actions.” These are the words Jon Gosselin will speak tonight to Mary Hart on his ET segment. “Now, I have to take the initiative. Let’s both go together, let’s both mediate this thing out.”

I believe “this thing” refers to his recent fallout with TLC, the cable network that made he and estranged wife Kate reality celebrities. Jon Gosselin went apes**t, if you’ll pardon the expression, when Jon and Kate became Kate Plus 8, signifying the new direction of the show. He posted a sign on his property forbidding the camera crews to do their job and made incendiary remarks through his legal representative, igniting a media firestorm that’s been watched anxiously.

Want to hear the rest? Watch the interview tonight…or, catch it later on YouTube.

Kim Kardashian Broods, Blogs

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies, Rants, Rivalries

Reality star and socialite Kim Kardashian is desperate for a baby.

The E! darling, whose sister Kourtney Kardashian is expecting her first child with partner Scott Disick, admits that shopping for her unborn niece or nephew has made her broody.

She wrote on her blog, “I want a baby!!!! OK, so maybe not right now, but I can’t wait to be an aunt!”

Kourtney has previously said that she is not sure whether she wants to find out the sex of her child before the birth, but Kim is adamant she should: “It’s really fun, but we have to stay neutral when you’re shopping for a baby and you don’t know what the sex of the baby is. I found that really hard… I just wanted to shop for pink or blue, haha! I want Kourt and Scott to find out already (sic)!!”

Kourtney, 30, revealed she was pregnant last month, and was unsure how her 28-year-old sister would react as Kim always wanted to be the first one to have kids. “I don’t think she’s envious. Who knows though—Kim gets mad if I get the car that she wants… she like freaks out! But she definitely thought it was going to be her first, trust me!” she said.

Jon and Kate…and Hailey Glassman, Victim

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Dating, Divorce, Hook-ups, Rivalries, Rumors

“I’ve been the sacrificial lamb in this situation,” Hailey Glassman, 22, said in a recent interview. She’s been dating Jon Gosselin, estranged husband to Kate, and as such she’s been near the center of a brutal media storm. “Before all this, I was happy-go-lucky.”

“I have lost my happiness through this all.” Glassman is the daughter to a plastic surgeon, who just happens to be the guy who did Kate Gosselin’s tummy tuck. According to various interviews, Jon was staying at the good doctor’s home during his marital troubles and Hailey was home for the summer. The hookup ensued - but, Glassman says, after the couple had split up.

New York Club Owner to Celebrate Perez Hilton

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Rivalries, Rumors, Where Are They Now?

New York entrepreneur JE Englebert plans to rally for blogger Perez Hilton, allegedly assaulted in a recent altercation with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

The club owner plans to host an event where Hilton will be the guest of honor - if he shows up - at Suzie Wong. The rally is meant “to show love, not hate,” according to Englebert. “Guess what is on the menu at the event?” He asked in a statement. “I plan on serving pea soup.”

Sounds a lot tastier than humble pie!
