Check out the latest cover for Rolling Stone.   

What, no naked Joe Manganiello (Alcide)?  Boo.  

The three leads of True Blood, Alexander Skarsgard, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer (Eric, Sookie, and Bill) bare it all except for some fake blood for the cover story inside.  Lucky bitch.

Series creator Alan Ball tells the magazine, “To me vampires are sex.  I don’t get a vampire story about abstinence.  I’m 53.  I don’t care about high school students.  I find them irritating and uninformed.”

Oh, SNAP.

Twihards, you’ve been served.

So says Mariah’s full time minion/employee/husband, Nick Cannon.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Nick, who’s part time job is host on the Simon Cowell produced  America’s Got Talent, says that Mariah has talked about it wityh him before and would love to do it, if they could work with her schedule.

Ok, let’s stop this right here. 

If FOX is going to kick  J-Lo to the curb for being a demanding super bitch diva, there’s no way in hell they would even consider Mimi.  After all, this is the same woman who demanded a diamond encrusted microphone stand to perform on American Idol Gives Back  a couple of years ago.

Mimi probably makes J-Lo seem low maintenance by comparison.

The search continues…

Looks like skin care/acne med line Proactiv is getting proactive by hiring Justin Bieber to shill for them in the hopes of bringing in the lucrative obsessed pimpley tween market (“But Mom, Justin uses it, so I have to too!”).

Doesn’t puberty have to rear it’s ugly head before you  need to start worrying about acne?  Guess if a company is going to pay you mega-bucks to shill, you tell folks it’s a problem, whether it actually is or not.

As for this commercial spot, it tries so hard, it’s almost painfully embarrassing to watch, yo.

Is this an example of wag the dog?

After announcing a surprise re-engagement with baby mama Bristol Palinon the cover of US Magazine last month, only to be dumped for being a famewhore, Levi Johnston has inked a deal for a reality show that will chronicle his run to become mayor of Wasilla, Alaska in 2012.

Loving Levi: The road to the mayors office (that’s the best they could come up with?) will also follow Levi’s pursuit of a career in Hollywood and life as a single father looking for love.

Least anyone think “over Sarah Palin’s dead body”, she got her start as mayor of Wasilla too, and the town’s current title holder was voted in with just 466 votes.  Levi must file to run by July 30th (of next year) to run for 2012. 

When questioned about filing, deadlines, and all that annoying bureaucratic red tape, Levi’s manager/bodyguard Tank Jones said, “People questioned Jesus Christ, so I definitely don’t care about these mere mortals questioning Levi Johnston.”

Up next for Levi, starring in a video with singer Brittani Senser that’s shooting this week.  The two went to the Teen Choice Awards Sunday night.

After almost 30 years looks like perenially chipper host Mary Hart is ready to move on after the upcoming season wraps.

The leggy host,who joined the show in ’82 when ET was pretty much the only kind of show of it’s kind on the air, says she originally only planned to stay for three years.

The show is almost unrecognizeable from it’s early days, when there where no famewhores on reality TV shows being branded as “celebrities” (when ET refered to Evan Marriot of Joe Millionaire fame as a “superstar” without irony, I knew the show had jumped the shark).

Rumour is Mary and her ET overlords couldn’t reach an agreement in contract negotiations, so she’s decided to pull an Oprah/Tyra take her collection of red carpet gowns and go elsewhere. 

Billy Bush and Access Hollywood better watch their backs.

Ellen DeGeneres tenure at American Idol turned out to be a short one. 

Apparently, the talk show host and comedienne never felt comfortable at Fox’s flagship karaoke contest and her rumoured feud with Simon Cowell (they hated each other) didn’t help.  Ellen and her reps supposedly went to the network brass and asked to be let out of her contract one year early, saying she wasn’t happy and “it’s not been fun”.  Yikes.

In a statement posted on her website, Ellen wrote, “A couple months ago, I let FOX and the “American Idol” producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me. I told them I wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on “Idol” and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”

There’s nothing wrong with hurting someone’s feelings if they hurt your ears first.  Just sayin’…

For their part, execs at Fox continue to be all smiles, saying how wonderful it was to work with Ellen, blah blah blah, “fortunate to work with”, blah blah, ”incredible spirit”, blah.

Meanwhile, Deadline Hollywood says that Jennifer Lopez has signed on to replace Ellen in a secret deal that was finalized earlier this week.  J-Lo could use the work and the money, seeing how her career hasn’t exactly been on an upwards trajectory lately.  So far this year, she’s been dropped by her record label and her latest movie, The Back-up Plan flopped.

No word if new producer Nigel Lythgoe plans on making “other” changes on American Idol (cough – Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, Karla Diogardi – cough).  Rumour is that Nigel really wants Elton John to come in to replace Simon Cowell (whom he makes look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm), but Elton supposedly wants too much money and has touring committments he can’t get out of.   Boo.

Stay tuned….

WARNING! DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN SEASON FOUR YET AND DONT WANT TO SEE THE GAME CHANGER THAT OCCURED IN THE SEASON FINALE.

Everyone’s favorite serial killer of killers is back for a fifth season starting in September 26th on Showtime.  The trailer premiered at Comic-Con in San Diego the other day.

“Sins may be forgiven, but conscience is a killer.”  Great tagline.

I haven’t seen season four myself yet, but heard what happened (the perils of being a pop culture and TV junkie).  However, I’ve found that with most things, it’s all about the journey, not the destination.

I stopped watching CSI a few years ago.  It wasn’t that I thought it was bad (hello, CSI:Miami), it just simply had run it’s course for me and I moved on. 

Anyway, looks like CBS is trying to attract some buzz and new viewers to their flagship procedural drama by announcing a major piece of stunt casting in a desperate attempt to stay relevent. 

Justin Bieber will be making his acting debut in the season premiere of the show playing “a troubled teen who is faced with a terrible decision regarding his only brother — a decision that leads him into an explosive confrontation with the CSIs.”

So the Bieb has acting aspirations like Justin Timberlake now?  

Heaven help us.

Apparently, one slightly insane, greedy, famewhore and her litter just isn’t enough to bring in the viewers, so Kate is packing up the kids and heading up to Alaska this weekend to go on a camping trip with the ex-governor made Fox News  pundent which will all be taped by TLC.

Is Sarah Palin doing this to drum up interest for her own reality series, Sarah Palin’s Alaska (the jokes almost write themselves) which is also going to be on TLC, or is she maneuvering to take another run at politics in 2012?
