Barbara Walters to Have Heart Valve Surgery

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Videos,

UPDATE: Walters’ doctors say they are “pleased with the outcome” of her surgery.

Although Elisabeth Hasselbeck is quite often the person who generates news for The View, this morning it was Barbara Walters’ turn.

On today’s broadcast, the 80-year-old journalist announced that she will be taking time off from the program to attend to a personal issue. “You know how I always say to you how healthy I am… I mean it drives you crazy… Never missed a day’s work,” Walters told her fellow cohosts. “Well, I’m going to make up for it. Later this week, I’m going to have surgery to replace one faulty heart valve,” she said.

VIDEO: Betty White Brings Big Laughs to SNL

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,

UPDATE: You can see Betty in unaired “Debbie Downer” and “Bronx Beat” sketches after the jump.

What is it about Mother’s Day that brings out the best in Saturday Night Live? (Remember Justin Timberlake’s “Motherlover” from just last year?)

Last night’s long-awaited broadcast with Betty White was arguably the best night the show had had in quite some time. (Of course, appearances from old SNL faves - Rachel Drath, Amy Poehler, Ana Gasteyer, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph and Molly Shannon - were also responsible for a good number of the laughs.)

After the jump, you can watch just a few of the sketches - NPR, Scared Straight, Sally O’Malley and MacGruber - from the 88-year-old’s memorable visit.

American Idol’s Aaron Kelly Talks Elimination

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,

“I know that I had a lot of people wanting me to change it up a lot. But if I changed it up a lot, it would mean changing me.” Aaron Kelly, 17, faced the press bravely on the heels of his elimination from American Idol 9. During his time on the show, Kelly was known for crooning sweetly and perfectly on-point, displaying what would be dazzling vocals for anyone at any age.

But he also remained wooden on stage and only once deviated from his formula of singing softly and sincerely to the crowd, picking up the pace and making an attempt to move around on the stage for only one of the numbers he performed. Aaron Kelly explained that he thinks of himself “as a country artist,” so his song selection was all about “songs that I could make sound a little country.” If only he’d thrown in a little rock n roll, he might have made it to the Top 4.

VIDEO: Dr. Phil Loses the Mustache

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Video,

After years of advising people how to make changes in their life, Dr. Phil McGraw publicly made a change of his own. On Friday’s episode of Oprah, the TV host did something he hadn’t done in approximately four decades- kiss a woman without a mustache on.

“For the first time in over 40 years - and I have two kids and they’ve never seen me without a mustache - I am going to take off my mustache,” he announced to the audience at Radio City Music Hall.

Check out the before and after for yourself and let us know what you think. Does Dr. Phil look better clean shaven? Or should he grow back his trademark look?

Is the Weird Joaquin Phoenix Documentary For Real?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Paparazzi Videos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,

As we’ve been reporting, Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix purportedly dropped out of movies back in 2009 to focus on his musical career. The career switch has been documented, or at least that’s the claim, by Phoenix’s brother-in-law Casey Affleck.

From the word go, public opinion has been pretty strong that the whole thing was some sort of hoax. Now, Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix are actually shopping the project around…and no one’s really figured it out yet.

Lady Not Gaga About American Idol Editing

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,

Lady Gaga is raging on Twitter about her American Idol performance (though not for the same reasons I raged about it). According to the songstress, “FOX POORLY + AMATEURLY edited+cut my performance/musical arrangement on Idol.” And thank goodness. The interminable number lasted for a horrifying 5 minutes on Wednesday’s Top 5 results show - the actual performance was 6.5 minutes long!

Wanna see the entire performance (not recommended)? Watch the video above - if you dare.

Meanwhile, stay up-to-date on all the elimination interviews, behind-the-scenes gossip and recaps - read all our American Idol 9 posts.

VIDEO: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Perform for Charity

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Videos,

In this see-it-to-believe-it video, you’ll witness Hollywood power couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes performing a song and dance number for a charitable event.

While Holmes belts out “Whatever Lola Wants,” she dances about Tom and manhandles him around the small stage - and all while wearing a truly horrible dress.

In the interest of being charitable, I will say no more. You’ve just got to watch it for yourself.

VIDEO: Jay Leno Uses Terrorism to Insult Conan O’Brien

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Video,

Pay careful attention to the last ten seconds of this video. If you look at the dimmed, lower portion of the image, you’ll notice a small, silent joke bomb placed by Team Jay Leno to insult Conan O’Brien. The subject matter? Terrorism. The vehicle? Facebook. The result? That remains to be seen.

While doing a bit about would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, the Tonight Show host presented a Facebook page purportedly owned by Shahzad. On it, you can see that Faisal belongs to a few groups: Al Qaeda, the Pakistan Frequent Flyers Club and Team Coco, the moniker used by Conan O’Brien supporters.

American Idol 9: Top 5 Results

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Video,

The Top 5 American Idols kicked off results night with a medley of Frank Sinatra tunes. The four competing men came out to sing “The Lady is a Tramp.” Crystal Bowersox, sole female remaining in the competition, then appeared to croon the song. I believe it was a bit of a bad choice, that song. Aaron Kelly, of course, sang a few bars from “When I Was Seventeen” as the number progressed. “Night and Day” and “Under My Skin” were also featured.

VIDEO: Teary Hasselbeck Apologizes to DWTS’ Erin Andrews

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Video,

UPDATE: Erin Andrews says she’s never received that so-called apology from Hasselbeck.

Seeing Elisabeth Hasselbeck cry is something we’re all used to by now. (Remember that heated debate with Whoopi Goldberg on the use of the “N-word”?) But it’s not often that we see The View co-host cry over something she did.

While discussing the latest Dancing with the Stars events yesterday, the outspoken conservative felt the need to speak out about contestant Erin Andrews’ ballroom wardrobe. Elisabeth - who was for some reason shocked by the amount of skin the contestant had been showing lately (does she not watch the show on a regular basis?) - thought it would be appropriate to bring up the ESPN reporter’s stalking scandal.

“I mean, in some way if I’m [Michael David Barrett], I’m like, ‘Man! I just could’ve waited 12 weeks and seen this — a little bit less — without the prison time!’” Hasselbeck joked.
