Ricki Lake

HER TALK SHOW IS CANCELED AND RICKI LAKE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!

Ricki Lake’s wish was granted Monday – her talk show was CANCELED! Ricki has been very unhappy with her show – the ratings stagnated and she felt the content was beneath her. After having a hit talk show aimed at young people from 1993 to 2004, Ricki expected her new show to have more substance and A- list celebrity interviews like Katie Couric’s show. When Ricki returned from Christmas vacation she actually told the audience she DREADED coming back to work and disliked her show! Her unhappiness showed in her attitude and she made staffers miserable. Today when the show was canceled, jobless staffers were in tears but Ricki was fine with it. Kris Jenner’s talk show will move right into Ricki’s space.

DANCING WITH THE STARS: RICKI LAKE WAS THE CASUALTY OF KARDASHIAN VOTERS

One last thought about last night’s Dancing With The Stars: Ricki Lake was ROBBED. We were afraid that the Kardashians’ combined 24 million Twitter followers would make sure that Rob won no matter what. Luckily, JR Martinez, who seemed to be the choice of most Americans, actually DID win. If Rob had won he would always have had that black cloud of “cheating” hanging over him. Sure, he became a good dancer (and he has a great smile,) but Ricki Lake was far better. SHE’S the one who fell victim to Rob’s family packing the ballot box. She’ll have to console herself with that.

HOWARD BRAGMAN'S BOOK PARTY WAS TABLOID HEAVEN

Hollywood publicist Howard Bragman had an amazing party for his new book “Where’s My Fifteen Minutes?” at the Chateau Marmont Wednesday night. Entourage star Debi Mazar was dressed to kill in a luscious Isabel Toledo frock that Debi said “has to go back in the morning.” Debi never fails to upgrade a soiree with her unique style, but she’s surprisingly modest. Someone asked her how she managed to look so good and she said “Honey, LOTS of concealer!” (Trust us, she doesn’t need ANY!) Isaiah Washington, Mario Lopez, Ricki Lake, Laila Ali, Will & Grace’s Leslie Jordan, as well as Project Runway bad boy Santino Rice, all came out for Howard.
