Looks like the head of the hen house is having difficulty keeping the rest of the chickens in line. 

On today’s episode of The View, Bill O’Rielly, compassionate, tolerant humanitarian that he is, explained that he’s against a Mosque being built near the World Trade Center because “Muslims killed us on 9/11″.

Whoopi and Joy both walked off the set while Barbara tried to restore order (both returned a short time later).  You just know Elisabeth Hasselbeck was loving every second of this.

It has it all. Politics! Has-beens! Never-weres! Dancing! Drama!

Last night on Dancing For A Cheque, Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin showed up in person to support her tubby little cub, Bristol the Pistol (I kid you not, this is what Sarah actually called her).

Bristol actually wasn’t bad, but the drama actually revolved around Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough.  Sarah was introduced right after they finished and the judges had given them their score.  The spin host Tom Bergeron and ABC is giving is that the audience was booing over the pair’s score of 24 out of 30 for their routine.

Maybe.

But!  If you look at the expression on Sarah’s face in the video, the boos seem to be having a bit of an effect on her.  Maybe the audience just didn’t like her ensemble?

Tim Gunn is fast becoming my favorite gay.  Don’t cross him, he’ll cut a bitch with his sharp tongue.  The latest subject of his bitchy asides is totally hardcore actress, singer, and current petulant brat – future diva in training Taylor Momsen.

Tim complained to E! that while he was filming a walk on scene for the fourth episode of this season’s Gossip Girl, Taylor was a pain to work with.  “She was pathetic, she couldn’t remember her lines, and she didn’t even have that many. I thought to myself  ’why are we all being held hostage by this brat?’  I wanted to tell her, ‘If you weren’t on your Blackberry, you can retain this stuff’.”

It gets better.  Tim recalled, “At one point the director leaned in and whispered to me, ‘this is day in, day out, my life.’ She annoyed the entire crew.  I wanted to ask her – Why are you acting like this show is a huge burden on you?”

Well Tim, that Taylor’s schtick.  She’s so over everything at the ripe old age of 17, because didn’t you hear?  Taylor. Is. Hard. Core.

Looks like the someone remains bitter over not being able to run for president of Haiti (a ruling made primarily because Wyclef Jean lives in the US not Haiti).  While Wyclef initially said he would stand by the decision, he then announced that he would appeal. 

In an interview with Larry King last month, Sean said he didn’t know much about Wyclef Jean saying “I haven’t seen or heard anything of him in these last six months that I’ve been in Haiti.” going on to say that he wondered if the singer’s idea of  being president was “a vision of flying around the world, talking to people”. 

This past Friday at a concert in New York, Wyclef fired back, changing lyrics to his song “I want to be President” (subtle) to include “I got a message for Sean Penn/ Maybe he ain’t see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine.”

Sean responded in a statement through his spokesminion, saying “Mr. Jean is clearly unfamiliar with the physical demands put upon volunteers in Haiti. As aid workers there, the notion of depleting the body’s immune system thru the use of illicit drugs is ludicrous. More specifically, J/P Haitian Relief Organization (a.k.a. JPHRO) has a ZERO tolerance policy for any and all illegal drugs. As the leader of this organization, Sean Penn has not only set this policy, but adheres to it. That Mr. Jean would make such a false accusation is reckless and saddening, but not surprising.”

It really says it all when Sean Penn is the voice of reason and logic between two people, doesn’t it?

I love dish, especially from a bitchy, aging, queen who isn’t afraid to name names and throw down (and I mean that as a  compliment).

Part guide to good etiquette, part dishy memoir, in Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons for Making It Work, the Project Runway host writes about dealing with the likes of Padma Lakshmi, Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis (“the angriest person I ever met”), Issac Mizrahi (“..I wouldn’t have the words to describe some of the more abhorrent behavior. He really is a terrible, terrible, terrible person.”) and Vogue overlord herself, Anna Wintour.

“It’s insane that people don’t call her out on the things she does. Is it fear? I was certainly afraid of her. When her office called me, I thought I’d have to go into the witness protection program.” He tells the NYDN.

Uh-oh.  Anna is not going to be amused.  Also?  HA!  (Do I need to mention I’ll be picking this up next week when it’s released on Tuesday?  I didn’t think so.)

Tim also goes into details about his own life, family (distant mother, homophobic father) and his interesting decision to remain celibate after a horrible relationship which ended years ago.

As for good manners in a post reality TV world that now seems to reward bad behavior with little or no consequences, Tim says, “Take the high road, you’ll never regret it.”

By now you’ve probably heard of Steven Slater, the oh so fussy but fabulous  Jet Blue flight attendent who quit his job by announcing it over his last flight’s PA system, before grabbing two beers from the gallery and activating the emergency slide at JFK while the plane was on the tarmac after gettting into an altercation with a passenger.

Slater was arrested later at his home for reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and criminal trespass.  He was released on $2500 bail and may spend up to seven years in prison if the Queens’ DA has anything to say about it.

Slater has now hired PR wizard and crisis management expert Howard Bragman to represent him, determined to squeeze every precious second from his fifteen minutes (14:56 and counting).  Apparently, the cranky and attention seeking ex-flight attendent has already been approached to host a reality tv show about the unusual way people quit their jobs.

Cue countdown for “pulling a Slater” (to quit in a huff in a spectacular and bridge burning way) to become part of the lexicon.  Reality bites.

I’m back!  Did you miss me?  Enough pleasantries, Lets jump right in…

Looks like Danielle Staub (aka The Joker in bad drag, aka Prostitution Whore!) has been sh*t canned from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

While rumours swirl around as to the whys, who’s, and hows of her departure, word is the other…. um…. ladies went to producers with an ultimatum, either Prostitution Whore! goes or they’d go. 

That threat, combined with the increasingly shady details of Prostitution Whore!’s past coming to light and recent sex tape fiasco, probably sealed the decision for network execs (unless they plan on giving her her own spin-off show).

Stay tuned….

Looks like the reality of getting dumped by her record label and watching her latest rom-com tank at the theatres earlier this year still hasn’t sunk in just yet.

According to People, J-Lo apparently still thinks she’s living in the year 2000, when she could get away with being a diva.  Apparently, Fox has given her the boot, with a source saying “her demands got out of hand”.

I’m dying to know what it was she wanted, aren’t you?  Here’s hoping someone at FOX leaks J-Lo’s list of “must haves”, they should be good for a giggle or two.

No word who’s going to replace J-Lo (word is Steven Tyler is in, but so far that’s just an unsubstantiated rumour).  Nigel Lythgoe, who’s returned to the fold to produce AI, is supposedly determined to get Paula Abdul back.

Stay tuned….

Clearly, the child has never played dodge ball or got into a snow-ball fight.

Yeah it’s mean.  Don’t kid yourself, you smiled too.  No word if the water bottle thrower made it out of the concert alive or if they were torn limb from limb for their sacrilege.

Uh-oh.

This can’t be good.  First comes inconvenience, then comes exasperation, followed by anger, rage, flying Blackberrys and staff beat-downs.  The Netherlands better put itself on high alert.

While in the Hague giving testimony today on receiving blood diamonds from Charles Taylor in 1997 , angry super-model Naomi Campbell made it crystal clear to all her thoughts on being forced to testify, saying “”I didn’t really want to be here. I just want to get this over with and get on with my life, this is a big inconvenience for me.”

As to receiving the blood diamonds, Naomi says this sort of thing is par for the course for a super-model like herself . ”I get gifts given to me all the time, at all hours of the night. Sometimes without notes. It is quite normal for me to receive gifts.”

Naomi says she didn’t keep the diamonds for herself once she found out it was likely Charles Taylor who gave her the “dirty stones”, she gave them to someone she lobbed a Blackberry at to keep quiet Jeremy Ratcliffe (then head of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund) to use for for the charity.  Ratcliffe denies ever getting them.

They better make sure all throwable objects are out of her way once Naomi is finished there.  Hell have no fury like an inconvenienced angry super model.
