Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Author, mother, Dancing with the Stars contestant and perpetual Drill Sergant Kate Gosselin had her highly reviled weave taken out to expose a shorter bob like ‘do yesterday in Manhattan.  

Not bad, but a little soccer mom/Anna Wintour-ish for my liking. 

Apparently, this is a temporary look for Kate.  Radar Online says she’s heading back into the salon later today to have new (hopefuly better looking) extentions put back in.

Word is Kate’s going for a new look for her Dancing for a Cheque gig.   Rock on, Kate.  Rock on.

Mark your calenders or set your DVR’s for this one.

Betty White will host Saturday Night Live on May 8th in a show dedicated to Mother’s Day, showrunner Lorne Michaels confirms.

The 88 year old actress and comedienne got the gig in large part due to outpouring of support from fans that started on a Facebook drive after she appeared in a Snickers commercial during the Superbowl.

In addition to Betty White, SNL alumni Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Molly Shannon will also appear.

Ever think to your self “Self, let’s play out a few Mad Men senarios” but were afraid to approach your friends over it?  (Everyone wants to be Joan.)

Men Barbie and Ken Dolls!  Only in this case it’s (from left to right) Joan, Roger, Don and Betty. 

 Play out various office politics, dramas and shenanigans including morning romps in the executive lounge, afternoon cocktails in Roger’s office, and of course, non-stop cigarette smoking courtesy of Lucky Strike.

The dolls are definatley not set at mid 1960’s prices ($75 each) and are aimed at collecters available this summer.

What on earth happened to Joan’s curves?  Mattel is going to get an earful over Barbie Joan’s lack of a va-va-voom figure, if a backlash hasn’t started already.

Reality TV makes strange bedfellows…

Mark Burnett and Martha Stewart are collaborating on a new reality show they’re shopping around to the networks called Help Me Martha.

Apparently, the concept revolves around someone who’s over-whelmed by the prospect of throwing a party or facing some sort of  lifestyle issue hearing the doorbell ring, going to answer it and have Martha and her minions standing there, ready to take over at the suggestion of a friend.

Can’t you just see the notoriously no nonsense and somewhat prickly Stewart trying to deal with a Hoarder, helping a Real Housewife organize a dinner party, some over indulgent parent trying to throw their spoiled teen a Super Sweet 16th birthday party, or clashing with a Bridezilla? 

Awesome.

Sadly, I don’t think it will come to that, which is probably why the show hasn’t been picked up, yet.

A tale that’s been told before.

Looks like Gilligan’s Island is the next TV main-stay about to get the big screen treatment.

Word via  Variety that the 60’s sitcom, which is still making the rounds in syndication, is being developed by Warner Brothers and written by Brad Copeland (Wild Hogs) and that producers hope to film for a release sometime next year.

Sherwood Schwartz, who produced the original series, has gone on the record saying he wants Michael Cera to play Gilligan.  Meh.  Frankly, I find that prospect a little under-whelming.  Michael Cera always plays Michael Cera (if you know what I mean).  I think Jay Baruchel (She’s Out Of My League) would make a much better Gilligan.

As for the rest of my “wish list” … Alan Hale (as The Skipper), Jim Parsons (as The Professor), Kelsey Grammar and Christine Baranski (as the Howells), Jennifer Goodwin (as Mary Anne), and Christina Hendricks absolutley MUST get the role of Ginger Grant.  Period.  End of discussion.

Here’s hoping this is done tongue in cheek, much like the Brady Bunch movie was done in 1995 and set in the mid-60’s (pre GPS and satelite imaging).

Jay Leno returned to his 11:35pm spot on the Tonight Show with the words “It’s good to be home.  I’m Jay Leno your host, at least for a while“.

It’s not going to be easy for Jay, he’s got some damage control to do, a brand to rebuild and a new band leader to hire However, since he only fell a place or two in a recent poll of most popular celebs, these aren’t impossible tasks.

Jay’s first guests were Jaimie Fox, Olympian Lindsay Von and singer/songwriter Brad Paisley.  Sounds kind of dull, but that seems to be Jay’s shtick, which up until last year worked well for him.

I’ve always been more of a Letterman fan myself, who was back to poking fun at his arch-rival by starting his show with ”My name is David Letterman, same time, same host.”

Their feelings are as genuine as her hair colour.

Jake Pavelka (Flyboy Ken) the commerical airline pilot and budding famewhore who will next be seen on Dancing with the Stars, picked Vienna Girardi (Hailey Glassman Version 2.0) on last night’s season finale of Why Is This Still On? The Bachelor.

After sending runner up Tenley Molzahn packing (who has another shot to find the famewhore of her dreams in the new season of The Bachelorette), Flyboy Ken got down on one knee and proposed to Hailey Glassman V2.0, who accepted and fake tears of fake joy to celebrate their fake love fakely fell.

No doubt, their love is one for the ages and will last at least until the middle of spring.

TLC’s golden-girl is going to join the ranks of the motley collection of has-beens, famewhores, and never-was’ to strut her stuff on ABC’s reality show competition.

Should be interesting to see who she ends up being partnered with and whether or not she’ll berate him on camera.  (You know if it’s Max the fur will fly- he’s as much of a bitch as she is).

Apparently, the producers of the show are letting Kate prepare her routines near her home in Pennsylvania, instead of on the west coast, since she pulled the single mother of 8 card yet again.   

Of course, Kate is pulling her now patended “doing this for the kids”.. blah blah blah song and dance.  Her involvement with Dancing for a Cheque probably has nothing to do with her new book, Letters To My Children Even The Ones That Made Fun Of My Weave and Made Me Cry that’s being published later this spring.  Wonder how many times she manages to plug it while in front of the cameras?

Dancing with the stars starts on March 21

Haters to the left.

Sparkles appeared on the Today Show shilling for his new movie Remember Me (available at a video store near you in about three months) and addressed those “allergic to vage” comments he made in Details magazine.

“I was just talking about this earlier. I was just saying like I had two lessons, don’t try and make jokes in interviews and then the second one is like, just don’t do interviews at all… Don’t talk about vaginas, people are very sensitive about them! Like, I know it’s funny, like it’s so funny how you know. The whole story was because I thought people would be offended by the photos and when they get offended by the little joking explanation of it…I don’t know, the world’s a weird place”.

Remember that at only 23 years of age, Sparkles is still figuring out who he is and his place in the world.  I look back at some of the things I said at that point in time (the middle ages) and just shudder.  

As for his scruffy appearance, I see Sparkles is still going for the “too cool to groom myself” look.  Somone really needs to send him to shampoo camp.

Remember Me opens this Friday (for those of you that care to submit yourself to girls age 12 – 40 screaming).

Looks like those rumours about someone putting a hit out on Jon Cryer of Two and a half Men may have had some substance to them after all.

Apparently, Cryer and his ex-wife Sarah Trigger are in the middle of an extremely bitter custody battle.  How bitter?  According to TMZ, she asked her ex boyfriend Eddie Sanchez to take Cryer out (meaning as in kill, not as in date). 

For her part, Trigger (perfect name for a murder plot) and her lawyer claim that the ex-boyfriend is now recanting his previous statements to the FBI.

With Charlie Sheen currently in rehab, and now this, you have to wonder if the show-runners are thinking of renaming the sitcom  A Half Man, until all this drama involving the Two subsides.
