GET READY TO WATCH THE SEAN DIDDY COMBS TRIAL ON TV!

Who can forget the trial of the century when O.J. Simpson was charged with murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown? The trial was must-see TV in the mid-nineties with people glued to their TV to catch every bit of it. Well, while it doesn’t involve a murder, get ready for the celebrity trial of THIS century: Sean Diddy Combs’ sex trafficking trial and you can watch it at home. According to my well placed source, the trial will be aired on TV and you can expect a ton of embarrassed celebrities to be subpoenaed to testify. Although the plans to air the trial have not yet been announced, it’s all but a done deal, and is expected to match or beat viewership for O.J.’s trial.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE: ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Last year’s surprise hit comedy Little Miss Sunshine is being turned into a TV series so you haven’t seen the last of the oddball Hoover family. The movie starred Abigail Breslin, Steve Carell, Greg Kinnear, Paul Dano,Toni Collette, and Alan Arkin (Remember Alan won an Oscar for his role.) Much to our surprise, the entire original cast is in secret talks to do the TV version, which is destined for HBO or Showtime. One big problem: Alan Arkin’s character died in the movie. They’d love to have him on board, but haven’t figured out how to bring him back to life. So for now he’s not involved.

TYRA BANKS WANNABES

It had to happpen – Tyra Banks has developed a fanatical following of girl fans who want to be JUST LIKE HER! The studio where Tyra films her talk show is right next door to The Grove shopping mall in LA. On taping days groups of girls around 18 to 20 years old can be seen strolling around in packs of 4 or 5. They come in all skin colors and they wear tight jeans and layered tank tops with a big belt, ballet flats, and flat-ironed hair – just like Tyra. Mall salespeople have dubbed them “The Tyra Girls.” The girls are regulars in Tyra’s audience and usually they can be heard discussing the last show they saw or the next one coming up. Tyra, who also hosts “America’s Next Top Model,” seems more and more like a young Oprah.
