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.”

Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now!

According to TMZ, the latest member of the buff young drama queen club is suing a company called McMahon’s RV because they promised him a $300 thousand custom RV by June 21st to use while he was filming the sure to be Oscar contender Abduction. 

Unfortunately, the company only supplied Taylor with a regular RV (oh, the horror). He’s seeking an unspecified settlement for breach of contract, “emotional distress”,  ”annoyance” because of it.

You know, if not getting the type of RV Taylor wanted caused him emotional distress, can’t wait to see what getting soundly mocked in the media over this lawsuit’s going to do.

I think Barbara Walters needs to come back to the hen house that is The View.  Things are starting to get out of control.

The latest indication was on yesterday’s show, when the White House Party Crasher/Real Housewives of DCcast-member Michaele Salahi and the rest of the cast were guests on the show.  Apparently, they were heatedly talking about a drink throwing episode when Whoppi (who was not interviewing them) came out on stage, touched Michaele’s shoulder and said “Excuse me, can you get back to the White House please?” 

As she started to walk away, Michaele turned to her responding “Oh if you’d like us to we can” (shown above).

After the segment was over,  Michaele and her husband Tareq (who was there with her but not on TV) ran to security in hysterics claiming she had been attacked physically.  When Whoopi got wind of the accusation, she went to confront them about it in person, with F-bombs flying all around.

SHOCKING!

A spokesminion for The View said “As the broadcast clearly shows, the accusation was completely unfounded. After being told she was being accused of hitting Ms. Salahi, Whoopi proceeded to defend herself verbally.”

There you have it folks, Tareq and Michaele Salahi, the famewhore heir apparents to Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

However, it’s not with fiance Bristol Palin. 

Awkward.

According to  The National Enquirer (yeah, I know), Lanesia Garcia, who’s now several months pregnant, got back together with ex-boyfriend Levi on several occasions in late 2009 and early 2010.  Apparently, Lanesia, bless her heart, is the village bicycle of Wasilla (everybody’s had a ride), and she’s unsure if Levi’s the father or it’s one of her other exes. 

Paging Maury Povich! 

Word is Bristol is livid over this news, and it may delay (if not completely torpedo), her wedding plans to Levi.  You just know Sarah must be feeling all sorts of mixed emotions over this latest scandal that Levi’s embroiled her family in.

As for the village bicycle Lanesia, she plans to have a paternity test once the baby is born, so Levi may end up as Sarah’s son-in-law yet.

More drama behind the scenes of MTV‘s Jersey Shore.  

Word is (via TMZ) that most of the cast is refusing to show up for filming the “second” part of the second season, while  Radar Online is saying that the network has given them until today to show up for work “or else”.

It’s sort of convoluted, but from the sounds of things, MTV is trying to pull a bit of fast one, referring to the next phase of production as the second half of the second season or 2B (even though it’s also been identified as “cycle three”) so they don’t have to re-enter contract negotiations with the cast.  2A is the part that was filmed down in Miami during the spring.

MTV is taking a divide and conquer approach, offering Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino a bonus of $60 000 to $1800 000, depending how ratings go for both parts of the second season, plus a huge salary increase of up to $45 thousand per episode for season three (or four, depending on how you look at it).

Confusing, isn’t it?  No wonder Angelia (the boring one that split a couple of episodes into the first season) left again.

Prior to this video being released, Kathy Griffin lamented over the demise of her fake showmance with Levi a couple of days ago, Tweeting “Oh y did i trust my heart 2 a 19 year old ice fisherman/babydaddy from Wasila?”

Kathy has apparently now set her sights on a new object of her fake attention, Taylor Lautner.

Too bad it probably won’t work.

The lawyer, famous as part of OJ Simpson’s “dream team”, now reprensenting Lindsay Lohan, has instructed his client to stay in a sober house in West Hollywood until she’s required to go to jail (Lindsay checked in yesterday). 

Word is that Shapiro is apparently going to try and get Lindsay’s jail sentence turned into a rehab only stay instead.  Wasn’t that the second part of her sentence anyway? 

Something tells me that Judge Marsha Revel isn’t going to change her mind about Lindsay’s punishment (or forget about that “f*ck u” that was painted on her middle finger) and will likely just hand Shapiro something like the image below if he suggests rehab only for his client.

Lindsay has to report to the slammer in five days on July 20th.

Of course, she’s not talking about herself here (just alluding to it).  What an over dramatic dumbass.

Dina would probably try to involve Amnesty International over Lindsay’s imminent incarceration, but since they won’t pay her for an “exclusive” interview, she’ll probably bitch to one of TV’s finer tabloid journalism shows instead.

It’s the end of an era as semi-mummified CNN mainstay Larry King is stepping down after 25 years as host of Live with Larry King.

Apparently, sources close to Larry say the reason for his decision has much to do with the recent drama surrounding his wife Shawn Southland and the “mess that is his personal life”.  

In Larry’s full statement, he says’s he’s not completley done with CNN yet and will host several specials a year, but his reign as host of Live will be over by the end of the summer.

Let the guessing games for a successor begin again, as CNN has yet to name Larry’s heir apparent.  Ryan Seacrest and Piers Morgan have both been mentioned in the past (and we know it’s probably not going to be Kathy Griffin).  Even though he has his own show with his own time slot, my money’s still on the Silver Fox himself, Anderson Cooper.

The latest Lohan drama?  At 10ak, some NYC hotspot over the weekend.

According to Page Six ,  Linds came in, decided she wanted to sit at an already occupied table (by hockey players Sean Avry, Arron Voros, and model Jessica Stam) near the DJ booth.  Of course, Lindsay being Lindsay, she didn’t want to sit with them, claiming Voros was an ex-boyfriend and (Voros denies even knowing her – can’t say I blame him).  Becoming outraged that the people wouldn’t move for her, Lindsay threw a drink in the woman’s face.  Surprisingly, Lindsay didn’t get her ass handed to her on a platter.  She then went on to try to have the three thrown out of the club.  Lindsay’s requestdemand was denied and she left the place shortly thereafter.

Now comes word that Lindsay is bringing her world class f*ckery to the French Riviera by going to Cannes to drum up support for her Linda Lovelace bio-flick. 

Should be a quick trip.  Lindsay’s supposed to be in court on Thursday to report to a no nonsense judge on her alcohol education program.  She was required to go to one a week for thirteen weeks and has managed to go to nine of them so far (four shy).

Will Lindsay come back to the States in time for her court appearance or will her lawyer get her some sort of extention?  Will she be sent to jail?  Rehab? 

Must admit, I’m interested to see how this plays out.
