Janice Dickinson Dating Reality Show

Janice Dickinson is hoping to find love on a new TV reality show.

According to TMZ.com, the tough-talking former supermodel, with a tongue that hails from the pits of Hell, is working with Wikked Entertainment on a Bachelorette-style docusoap that would see a series of “boy toys” competing for Dickinson’s affections.

The still unscripted show is being shopped to various networks.



Lady Gaga High School Pictures

Hot off the heels of yesterday’s Megan Fox yearbook pictures getting a lot of buzz comes Lady Gaga’s high school pictures, dug up by Perez Hilton.

Much like Fox, Lady Gaga’s high school yearbook photos reveal that she was quite attractive even as far back as high school. Lady Gaga attended Convent of the Sacred Heart, a Roman Catholic school in Manhattan, and her yearbook reveals some interesting tidbits such as the fact that her piano is her prized possession and that she was on The Sopranos (what?). It also lists her pet peeve as “ordinary people” which I find pretty hilarious given the way her career has gone.

Check out more Lady Gaga high school photos after the jump:





Taylor Lautner has reportedly pulled out of a chance to play crimefighter Max Steel to devote himself to the upcoming Stretch Armstrong movie.

The Twilight hunk — rumored to be the highest-paid teen star in Hollywood — had signed up for both action roles but has now opted out of Max Steel, about a sports star-turned-secret agent, to focus on Stretch, new blockbuster based on the bendable action figure produced by toymakers Hasbro in the 1970s.

According to New York Magazine, Lautner ditched the part because toy manufacturer Mattel — which produces Max Steel figures — has not been as successful at the box offices as Hasbro — who, in addition to Steel, also spearheaded the Transformers and G.I. Joe film franchises.

“(In) the weeks after signing on to play Steel, Lautner became increasingly convinced that Hasbro was playing its hand better than Mattel. Thanks to WME (Entertainment, Lautner’s agency), Hasbro was moving with far greater speed through Hollywood’s development maze than Mattel, not only setting up projects, but quickly moving them forward.”

Hasbro is also readying film adaptations based on their classic board games, Candy Land, Battleship, and Risk.



Whitney Houston’s addiction….to nicotine….is being blamed for the singing legend’s recent tour controversy and string of questionable performances in Australia. Houston’s tour promoter, Andrew McManus, cites the “I Will Always Love You” singer’s refusal to quit smoking for her faltering voice during a series of shows in Brisbane and Sydney this month.

The R&B superstar’s Nothing But Love Tour has been steeped in controversy after complaints from critics and fans Down Under, who claim Whitney been struggling to complete her sets. Thousands of fans walked out of the star’s first show in Australia in more than 20 years last Sunday night after she coughed her way through songs, took regular breaks to catch her breath, and crooked through a series of her signature hits.

“Whitney smokes. God bless her, I can’t tell her not to. She will not take any substances. She just will not. It is what it is. She’s comfortable with the show she’s performing. She knows she’s not hitting every note like she used to. But it’s value for money, it’s Whitney Houston warts and all,” McManus explains, blaming Whit’s tobacco addiction for a recent onset of breathing troubles. “I talked to her after the Sydney show. I told her I have her back, but she said, ‘If the good Lord wants me to be attacked and ridiculed that’s the road I have to go down.’ It’s an interesting approach. Here I am being aggressive in trying to protect her and she said, ‘I love you for it but let it go. I can only give my best, if that’s not good enough, so be it. I’m comfortable in my own skin.’”



Never one to mince words, American Idol alum/Glam rocker Adam Lambert is speaking candidly about his past history of drug use, and criticizing American parents for coddling their children.

In a new interview with Britain’s News of The World this week, Glambert says: “I went wild and I was experimenting with certain substances… At 26 I started running with hippies, going to underground events, I was really drawn to that crowd, everyone embraced each other’s differences. It didn’t get to the stage where it ruined my life or where it was anything too serious but it was definitely something I tried. There are so many parents who are too conservative in America. There are certain drugs out there that are really fun and recreational and can mean a good time. I’m not an advocate for drugs, but it is all rock and roll and we are all adults.”



“Bridget Jones” TV Show

Bridget Jones’s Diary, the British novel that spawned a film franchise starring actress Renee Zellweger, is being adapted into a TV spinoff for NBC, The Guardian reports.

Sources say the 2001 romantic comedy and its 2004 follow-up (Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason) are being reworked for the small screen through a new development deal between NBC Universal and Working Title. The two production companies plan to eventually rework a number of films from the Working Title’s library of over 90 British theatrical releases – which includes Four Weddings and A Funeral, Billy Elliot, Notting Hill, and Nanny McPhee.



The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Vicky Gunvalson was caught locking lips with a muscular 25-year-old college student in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last month — and we don’t think her husband of 15 years is going to be very pleased.

University of Manitoba student Mike Pullin says he hooked up with the cougar when the 47-year-old reality star and a group of her tipsy comrades hit Andale, a bar in the Mexican resort city, on Jan 21.

“Vicki was extremely outgoing and having a great time, like a sorority girl. We clicked immediately and danced to rock ‘n’ roll by Bon Jovi and Journey. She was living it up. She kept talking to me. She was a big flirt,” Pullin spills. “She was a very good kisser. I felt her up, but she moved my hand away. It was clear she didn’t want to go to far because her friends were there and people were watching, but I wanted to fool around with her. I was into her.

Noticably absent from the festivities was Vicki’s partner Donn, with whom she renewed her vows in Turks & Caicos earlier this year. Perhaps Donn can take solace in the fact that Vicki resisted her young suitor’s attempts to get her to leave the club with him. Although they exchanged contact info, Mike hasn’t heard from Vicki since their near tryst South Border: “She said she’d call me, but she hasn’t. I’d would like to see her again. I thought she was a good time!”



The rest of her may be fake, but Heidi Montag’s blossoming feelings for her plastic surgeon are very real, a new report claims. The married reality star can’t get enough of her buxom new bod or the man responsible for crafting it, Hollywood plastic surgeon to the stars Dr. Frank Ryan, Star Magazine tattles dish in the mag’s March 8 issue.

“Heidi is totally crushing on Dr. Ryan and comes up with any excuse she can to stop by his office,” says an insider, who insists the 23-year-old Hills starlet is mesmerized by Ryan, 49. “She makes appointments for the most ridiculous things and stays as long as possible…She’s babbling about how great he is.”

Last Nov. 20, Heidi went under Dr. Ryan’s knife for a whopping 10 procedures that included everything from chin reduction to breast augmentation. She’s had the hots for him ever since, according to the tab.

Heidi’s rumored new found feelings for the good doctor are weighing heavily on her relationship with co-star hubby Spencer Pratt, 26. The preppy reality star reportedly blew a gasket when he caught Heidi calling to “check in with Dr. Ryan” while the couple were co-hosting a Valentine’s Day bash at Las Vegas hotspot Pure on Feb. 13.

“He never in a million years thought Heidi would start liking the guy. He’s shocked and jealous,” blabs one snitch.

Much to her husband’s chagrin, Heidi has allegedly found lots to like in the doctor, who counts celebs such as Janice Dickinson, Oscar De La Hoya, and Adrianne Curry among his patients. Not only is Ryan revered for his charity work — the cosmetic surgeon founded Malibu’s Bony Pony Ranch Foundation, which works with inner city youth — but it doesn’t hurt that he’s also a multimillionaire.

“Let’s put it this way, Spencer is fast food. Dr. Ryan is the Ritz,” says another Star tipster. “Spencer has to scrounge around for money…Dr. Ryan is already filthy rich and is considered a genuinely caring person…”



Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is lending his famous face to a public service announcement for The Trevor Project. Founded in 1998, the initiative is the nation’s leading organization devoted to suicide prevention efforts among gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered teens.

Daniel says: “I grew up knowing a lot of gay men and it was never something that I even thought twice about — that some men were gay and some weren’t…I think it’s important for somebody from a big, commercial movie series like ‘Harry Potter’ and particularly because I am not gay or bisexual or transgendered. … The fact that I am straight makes not a difference, but it shows that straight people are incredibly interested and care a lot about this as well.”

Daniel’s PSA, filmed at the organization’s Wall Street headquarters on Friday, is scheduled to debut this spring.
