WHY VICTORIA PRINCIPAL’S POSSIBLE RETURN TO “DALLAS” IS FRAUGHT WITH PERIL

#victoriaprincipal #dallas #joanrivers #janetcharlton

Victoria Principal, 62, has good reason to be nervous about returning to television after a long absence. Her skin care line Principal Secret keeps her busy and she doesn’t need the money. But producers of the new Dallas show on TNT are bending over backwards to lure her back – even for just a few appearances. The audience is begging for her to return. She’s tempted, but through the years she’s had considerable cosmetic surgery and looks a bit different. (Actually a lot like LaToya Jackson, if you get our drift.) This means she will once again be a prime target for her arch-enemy Joan Rivers on Fashion Police. Their feud started in the 80’s when Joan accused Victoria of lying during an interview – Victoria shaved five years off her age and denied being engaged to Andy Gibb. Later Joan “accidentally’ revealed Victoria’s home phone number on TV and Victoria sued her for three million dollars. If Dallas viewers get their wish and Pam Ewing returns, Joan will be THRILLED.

NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN MICHELLE OBAMA AND OPRAH

Both Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey are bound to be INFURIATED by a new book coming out that’s documenting the bad blood between them. Author Edward Klein pointed out in “The Amateur” that after Oprah publicly endorsed Obama on her show, she expected VIP treatment in the White House. Obama himself was affable and strategized with Oprah, but Michelle was increasingly standoffish. Michelle had an assistant return Oprah’s calls, and kept a close eye on her husband. Privately she seemed to think Oprah wanted to use her white House ties to promote herself and perk up her ratings. The final blow came when Michelle implied that Oprah was too hefty and inappropriate to join her battle against childhood obesity. Despite Michelle, Oprah remains a huge supporter of Obama.

KIM KARDASHIAN HAS THE LAST LAUGH – ON HER TWITTER WAR WITH DEMI MOORE

Two years ago Demi Moore took exception to a tweet of Kim Kardashian’s and it started a mini-twitter war. Kim nonchalantly tweeted that she was “out pimpin’ with my friends” and Demi criticized her immature choice of words –pointing out that “a pimp is a slave owner” and the pimp culture should not be glorified. Kim was irritated, but let it slide at the time. But she didn’t forget. At Elton John’s party Kim was heard making fun of the fact that Demi was caught doing drugs with much younger friends -“she called ME immature!” Kim laughingly requested a song “dedicated to Demi” – the song was Devo’s “Whip It!

Incidentally, Kim K insists that this did NOT happen….

JOAN RIVERS AND CHELSEA HANDLER: SHAME ON BOTH OF YOU!

On one hand we like to think this nasty feud between Joan Rivers and Chelsea Handler is a clever publicity stunt to publicize the E! channel. But if it’s NOT, they should BOTH be ashamed. It’s difficult to tell who’s being more childish: Joan has a hot temper and she described Chelsea to Howard Stern as “a whore who slept her way to the top,“not funny” and “a drunk.” She sounds jealous and resentful of Chelsea’s success. Chelsea dismissed Joan’s comments “What the f—do I care about Joan Rivers?” as if Joan is of no importance. Joan IS important- she’s a pioneer in the field of female comedians. Yes, she paved the way for women like Chelsea. Chelsea IS funny and she’s the first one to admit she drinks and slept with the boss. Both Chelsea and Joan are demeaning themselves with this petty behavior- don’t they know women must stick together? Get a grip, you two.

NENE LEAKES AND STAR JONES: BATTLES IN AND OUT OF THE BOARDROOM

Call us racist, but we can hardly wait to watch the melodrama between Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes and Star Jones on Celebrity Apprentice. Apparently the sniping and backstabbing between these two is a large part of the series. Star has said “I don’t like the vitriol and ghetto histrionics that she (Leakes) has been putting out there! It demeans black women and stereotypes them as unprofesional, loud, and uneducated.” NeNe told Wendy Williams that she “wouldn’t spit on Star Jones if she were on fire” and insists that she is a down-to-earth person. This will be a fun feud.

THE SITUATION HAS A SUGGESTION FOR JOY BEHAR

The Situation (Mike Sorrentino) says he refuses to stoop to the level of Joy Behar. Joy has frequently ripped the Jersey Shore clan as “reflecting badly on Italian-Americans” and when the crew guested on “The View,” she bluntly advised them to “Save your money.” The Situation made an appearance in Minneapolis at Bootleggers bar and our inquisitive colleague in gossip, CJ from the Star-Tribune, asked him about Behar’s frequent negative comments. Mike responded with guido tact “If you don’t like somebody’s show – change the channel and shut your mouth!” He added that he IS saving his money.

WHY JOAN RIVERS DOESN’T THINK CHELSEA HANDLER IS FUNNY

joanchelsea Joan Rivers badmouthed Chelsea Handler by calling her “not funny.” After all, Joan was the first female late night talk show host and Chelsea is the second. (Women should be supportive of each other.) Of course Chelsea has lasted longer – her E! show “Chelsea Lately” has been on the air since 2007. Since Chelsea IS definitely funny, we wonder if Joan begrudges Handler her job because Chelsea’s boyfriend is Ted Harbert is CEO boss of the E! channel. A legitimate beef, but not from Joan, who is guilty of engaging in the same nepotism for her daughter Melissa. Maybe Joan just dislikes everything on the E! channel since she and Melissa stopped doing red carpet coverage for them.

JASON STATHAM'S AUDI IS STILL IN MINT CONDITION

Jason Statham always checks out his $100,000 Audi after he leaves it parked in a public place. And he has a good reason. For awhile he was bitterly feuding with Justin Murdock, heir to the Dole Foods fortune, and both are car freaks, worried that their expensive toys will be “scratched.” The fight started over an underage model in a bar – Justin brags that money is more appealing to women than fame. The confrontation led to weeks of threats, a keyed car, and both guys used to call ahead to clubs to make sure the other wasn’t there. Eventually they cooled off and neither one got the girl.

A CATFIGHT OVER PETER FALK'S FORTUNE

20050706peterfalk3.jpg
There’s more to this Peter Falk story than meets the eye. The 81 year old Columbo star’s daughter Catherine wants power of attorney because she claims he’s impaired by Alzheimer’s and is unable to manage his finances or to “resist fraud.” (Catherine is Falk’s daughter with his first wife.) Meanwhile Falk’s second wife of over thirty years, actress Shera Danese, has been oddly silent. Catherine and her father have had an odd relationship – in fact she sued him in 1992, claiming he didn’t pay her college tuition. (they settled) Falk is much older than his wife Shera and around twenty years ago we heard that she told him that she was bored and tired of staying home and wanted a divorce. He begged her not to leave and HE moved into the guest house until she cooled off. They eventually reconciled. But we sense a huge battle brewing between Catherine and Shera about who should control the money.

ANDERSON COOPER RUES THE DAY HE BADMOUTHED DINA LOHAN

andercutdina.jpg
We happen to love the comments Anderson Cooper made about the “Living Lohan” reality show, calling it a train wreck featuring horrific people. Publicity loving Dina Lohan was incensed enough to gripe to OK magazine that Anderson was attracting “bad karma.” His CNN cohost Erica Hill is very supportive, but Anderson is sorry he ever got involved in the feud with Dina. Someone at CNN leaked Anderson’s cell phone number to Dina and he quickly had his number changed. Wouldn’t YOU?
