Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz: It’s A Girl!!!

Ana Ortiz at the Writer's Guild Awards

Ugly Betty star, Ana Ortiz is having a baby girl!   Ana was at the Writer’s Guild Awards in New York City showing off her beautiful baby bump.  Now she has a huge challenge of choosing a name for the little princess with her husband, Noah Lebenzon.  They have until July, so they won’t have to rush too much :)

“This has been the biggest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Ortiz told Us. “One day, I love a name, the next day, I hate it. There’s a short list. Everyone in the cast has given me names. America [Ferrera] seems to think America Junior,” she jokes. “I’d love to incorporate both my grandmothers. One grandmother is Ramona. And it’s kind of one of my favorites.”

Congrats Ana and Noah!!  Pink is in the air!!

Grey’s Anatomy Is Going To Hell In A Handbasket

Grey's Anatomy cast

In my opinion, ABC is committing suicide for Grey’s Anatomy.  Are they completely insane?  Why aren’t they going to great lengths to keep the cast together?  Why aren’t they offering Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight the big bucks to stay?  Are we going to blame this on the economy too?

The doctors are out! Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight are about to exit Grey’s Anatomy, at least according to one of their co-stars. James Pickens, Jr., who plays Dr. Richard Webber, confirmed the much-rumored departures to Us Weekly. “Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best,” said Pickens. And as for Knight, “He just wanted to pursue other career paths.”

ABC wouldn’t comment on the news, nor would their personal publicists. However, Heigl and Knight have reportedly been wanting to leave the hit series for some time. Heigl, in particular, caused a fuss last year when she dropped out of the Emmy race by saying, “I do not feel I was given the material this season to warrant a nomination.

Are you even the least bit interested in watching this dying show now??

‘Dancing with the Stars’ Cast Spotlight: Lawrence Taylor, From Football Player to Crack Addict

lawrence taylor

Lawrence Taylor (aka “L.T.”) has filled the football player spot on the newest Dancing with the Stars cast (after Ashton Kutcher leaked the info early). Us girls may not know that much about him because he isn’t as famous as Jason Taylor, Jerry Rice or Emmett Smith (who all had huge success on the show). So I did some digging to inform all of us of what this dude brings to the dance floor.

The football Hall-of-Famer was the New York Giants’ first-round draft pick in 1981 and became the league’s defensive player of the year in his first season.

In addition, his speed, intensity and strength helped make him one of the most memorable linebackers the NFL has ever seen. Taylor had the second highest number of all time for career sacks when he retired in 1993.

But it wasn’t all good news in the life of Taylor:

After admitting to and testing positive for cocaine in 1987, he was suspended from football for 30 days in 1988 after failing a second drug test. After his second positive test he gave up drugs for five years as a third positive test would have ended his career. However, as he approached retirement he looked forward to picking up the habit again, saying in his second autobiography “I saw coke as the only bright spot in my future.”

After his retirement he began abusing drugs on a regular basis. He went through drug rehab twice in 1995, only to later be arrested twice over a three-year span for attempting to buy cocaine from undercover officers. During this period Taylor lived almost exclusively in his home with white sheets covering his windows and only associated with other drug users. Taylor later stated, “I had gotten really bad. I mean my place was almost like a crack house.” In his first autobiography Taylor also admitted that he had begun using drugs as early as his second year in the NFL.

Maybe this can be L.T.’s redeeming grace to make a good name for himself again. I am a big believer in second chances!

‘The Biggest Loser’ Is Looking for New Trainers, Dumping Bob and Jillian?

jillian and bob

Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper are a huge part of the success of ‘The Biggest Loser‘, but we may be saying goodbye to them.

NBC is casting new trainers “to keep creative options open for the new season,” according to the network’s casting tour press release.

When contacted for clarification by Reality TV World, the show’s NBC spokesperson was unable to confirm whether current The Biggest Loser trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels will be part of the show’s eighth season and declined to comment beyond the release.

They better not be firing those two. I would kill to have a trainer like them, especially Jillian… She is my fitness role model. She used to be 50 pounds heavier and work her butt off to get where she is now. We’re on Team Bob & Jillian!!!

‘The Bachelor’ Jason Mesnick Dishes About Letting Go of Naomi Crespo (and the Dead Dove)

jason

Jason Mesnick had to let one lady go on Monday’s episode of The Bachelor, and after the weirdest home town date ever, none of us were surprised that Naomi Crespo got the boot. On his blog, Jason dished about that date and what it was like telling her goodbye. Here are some highlights:

My date with Naomi was a real roller-coaster ride… almost literally. Unfortunately, you didn’t get to see the very “memorable” horseback ride that we took together. My horse got a little spooked and started spinning in circles. I really thought it was trying to buck me off. Luckily, I slipped of the back of the horse and it took off. I know it’s not the thing to do if you are trying to impress a girl, but I don’t have much experience with horses!

…As for the dead dove, I honestly thought it was a joke at first and I was just playing along. That was until the bag was opened and a feather flew out. I thought, Are you kidding me? Is this really happening? Am I really about to do a eulogy for a wild dove?’ I had no idea what to say. Really, I think Naomi’s mom was just having fun with us all.

I had an interesting conversation with Naomi’s father about religion. I am not a person that has practiced a lot of religious faith. My conversation with her father was very unexpected. He is a great man with a lot of faith and I learned a lot about him and I really respect his belief system.

The rose ceremony was tough because I had to say goodbye to Naomi. She and I are very similar in so many ways. I made my decision because I realized in my heart that Naomi has huge wings and she needs to fly and experience more in the world. She is a great girl and I know I made the right decision for all of us.

Regardless of her crazy family, it was obvious that the crazy fire that Jason has with the other girls wasn’t there with Naomi. She’s an exotic-looking, beautiful, smart, adventurous girl who will find an amazing man. We wish her the best!

Maksim Chmerkovskiy Dishes on New ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season

denise and maksim

Monday morning on Good Morning America it was revealed that Denise Richards would be partnered with hottie Maksim Chmerkovskiy. The trampy reality tv starlet better watch out though, because Maksim is engaged to fellow Dancing with the Stars professional Karina Smirnoff. Here are some highlights from an interview he did with TV Guide about the upcoming eighth season:

TVGuide.com: Did you get to indulge in any pet projects during your time off?
Chmerkovskiy: I didn’t have time off. I choreographed the tour, which went to 38 cities, and I was also the dance captain in charge of all the injuries and replacing people… . It was a crazy experience, and a lot of work. But it’s fine. I’m 29; I’ll relax when I’m 50.

TVGuide.com: How excited are you to be paired with Denise?
Chmerkovskiy: Very. Very. Things are happening up here [in my head], as to what we’re going to do for our first dance… . I’m picking up on all the things she’s been saying about her flexibility and the Pilates. Most of the things that are difficult for the celebrities are moving their legs and arms in different directions at the same time, to the music.

TVGuide.com: Some are speculating that dancing as a team could be tough on Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks, her country singer-boyfriend. But I think if DWTS has shown us anything, it’s that it cultivates romance. They could come out of this stronger.
Chmerkovskiy: I don’t want to start the season with a usual Maks rant, so I’m going to plead the fifth on that pairing!

My guess is that the other competitors don’t feel it fair that Chuck and Julianne get to work together, since they probably spend a LOT more time in each others company that the other pairings. Oh well, it could work against them, too.

Spencer Pratt & Brody Jenner are BFF’s Again

spencer and brody 4

Spencer Pratt and Brody Jenner have one of the most dysfunctional relationships on The Hills- which is hard considering all the crazy folks MTV cast on that show. After Spencer chose to propose to Heidi Montag (the first time) and Brody chose to hang out with Spencer’s nemesis, Lauren Conrad, the duo parted ways after years of best friend togetherness.

But while Spencer’s main squeeze was out getting her nails done, he hung with her ex-BFF Brody out and about in Hollywood. They hit up Cafe Muse for lunch and looked chummy filming scenes for The Hills. Apparently the new episodes will include some reconciliations? Maybe since it’s the final season they felt relationships needed some closure.

What if Lauren and Heidi go back to BFF status and they all hang out with Spencer and Brody? Weird.

Courtney Love Wears Underwear On Her Head

Courtney Love Gypsy

Courtney Love was so wasted that I don’t think she even realized she was wearing her underwear on her head. Courtney hit the Groucho private members club last night for the second night in a row. She might still have been drunk from the night before because she is dressed like a total gypsy and people are having to hold her up or else she might fall down.

She was named the Woman of the Year at the Elle Style Awards in London, England on Monday night. I’m not sure if they were really thinking about things like this. How can Courtney be someone we can look up to? She rocked back in the 1990′s but now I’m not so sure.

Eliza Dushku Covers Maxim Magazine In Her Lingerie

Eliza Dushku Maxim March 2009

Eliza Dushku is the cover girl for the March 2009 issue of Maxim magazine. I love how she is confident enough to just wear a bra and panties for a cover. Inside she talks about her favorite tattoo and how she loves the bad boy.

On her tattoos: “I love catching a glimpse of my tattoos when I strip down and take a shower. Kat Von D did a beautiful symbolic feather on my ribs.”

On her love for bad boys: “I like guys who play hard and have calluses on their hands. Any guy who’s been raised in a bubble hasn’t lived enough for me. Scars and broken body parts and tattoos are hot.”

Eliza’s new show, Dollhouse, which I’m super excited to see, premieres on FOX on Friday. She plays a lab-created being who’s implanted in each episode with a new personality. I think it’s sorta like the Matrix, but with Eliza instead of Keanu Reeves. The March issue of Maxim hits newsstands on February 17.

WTF?! Michael Phelps Bong On Ebay For $100,000

Michael Phelps bong shot

Michael Phelps made a big mistake by smoking pot.  Well, maybe his mistake was getting caught. Do you actually think this was his first time getting high?  I think not.

Governor Mark Sanford commented on the sheriff’s actions on the FOX News Channel Sunday night. Geraldo Rivera asked Sanford whether Phelps should be prosecuted, and Sanford said, “I don’t see what it gets at this point.”

Why should another celebrity get away with breaking the law?  Michael screwed up.  So, bust him if you’re going to bust a bunch of “nobodys”.  Justice is blind.  How about nabbing the bong owner who was trying to sell the bong on ebay for $100,000.  Are you kidding me??
