Casey Johnson's Family Boycotting Tila Tequila's 'King' Appearance

The one-hour show is allegedly intended to be a tribute to Casey, accommodating 'all the good things and happy times of her life' and having only Tila as guest.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Tila Tequila is negotiating to appear on "Larry King Live" but the road to there may not be so smooth after all. Family of Casey Johnson, the fiancee of Tila who was found dead on January 4, is reportedly against the reality show star appearing on the CNN talk show although rumor has it, it would be a tribute to Casey.

Per E! News, the Johnsons and Casey's friends are calling Larry King to cancel the plan of having her live on Tuesday, January 12. "The Johnsons just want Tila to go away," a source told the publication. "They're in mourning. She is the last thing they want to deal with right now." Tila reportedly would be the only guest in that evening.

A source close to the Johnson family said they were tired of Tila and only wanted to maintain their dignity post Casey's death. "Everyone knows the tabloids won't back away from Tila, but they didn't think Larry King would actually consider having her on his show," E!'s source added. "They've called him and sent him emails asking him to cancel the interview."

The unharmonious relationship between Tila and people close to Casey was sniffed a couple of days ago when Nicky Hilton and Bijou Phillips visited Tila's home to collect Casey's dogs and belongings. Tila refused to give them up and ranted on her Twitter. "Now that she's gone her family and so called 'FRIENDS' pop up at my house, stealing our stuff & acting like they care? BULLS- - -! Money doesn't buy you class," she wrote.

Jay-Z Begs to Be 'The X Factor' Judge

The rapper has offered himself to sit on the judge panel of the reality TV show if Simon Cowell needs help for the next series.

Rap superstar Jay-Z has begged Simon Cowell to let him sit on the judging panel during the next series of his British reality show "The X Factor". The singing contest, which featured a performance from the star's wife Beyonce Knowles in 2008, launched the career of Leona Lewis - and the "99 Problems" hitmaker is keen to get involved.

He tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Simon, if you need any help for the next series, let me know man and I'm your judge. There is a lot of untapped hip-hop talent in the U.K. and if they want my help finding some for the final 12 I am sure I could assist." And Jay-Z has his eye on launching current judge and Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole's career in the U.S.

He adds, "I keep a close eye on the music industry throughout the world and I know how hot Cheryl is in the U.K. The U.S. market is the toughest one to break into, but once you do it is by far the most lucrative. I think Cheryl has that talent to do it."

"There is nobody in the U.S. like her right now, and I would be very interested in helping her break the U.S. market this year. Bey has seen her perform and she told me how impressed she was. I checked her out and I was impressed as well."

The Scott Smith of 'Milk' will play a more adventurous role in 'General hospital', portraying real-life climber named Aron Ralston in his climbing journey.

James Franco is following up his stint on "General Hospital" with a more adventurous role - he's signed up to play a real-life mountaineer who amputated his own arm. The actor has been cast in Danny Boyle's upcoming 127 Hours, based on the true story of climber Aron Ralston who was forced to saw off his limb after a boulder fell onto him while he was climbing in Utah in 2003.

Ralston was trapped in the canyon for five days before he used a blunt knife to free himself and was eventually rescued by helicopter. Boyle is drafting the script with Simon Beaufoy, who wrote the screenplay for his 2008 hit "Slumdog Millionaire". Filming is scheduled to begin in March 2010 in Utah.

Beside landing a role in TV series "General Hospital", James Franco will also be seen making cameo in an episode of "30 Rock", which is going to hit the small screen on January 14. He will appear in an episode called "Klaus and Greta" where he pretends to date Jane Krakowski's Jenna Maroney.

36th People's Choice: 'Glee' and 'Vampire Diaries' Are Favorite New TV Shows

While the cast of 'Diaries' missed the event, the actors of 'Glee' brought out pizzas for the crowd as appreciation of their win.


The cast of "Glee" and "The Vampire Diaries" have something to celebrate when this year's People's Choice Awards wraps up on Wednesday, January 6 night. The shows have just been named Favorite New TV Comedy and Drama respectively, the only categories in TV that have more than 5 contenders.

It was unfortunate that the cast of "Diaries" did not attend the event that the presenters had to accept the trophy. The "Glee" ensemble on the other way, live up to their show, boarding the stage and giving thanks to people by handing out DiGiornio pizzas. The frozen food brand is the main sponsor of the musical show.

The cast of "Glee" in attendance are Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, and Jenna Ushkowitz among others. It was Colfer who opened the acceptance speech, saying "We have to thank all of you, our creators, our amazing writers, producers and our fantastic crew." Michelle added, "We have so much fun working on our show, so thank you all for watching."

2010 People's Choice Awards is held at Nokia Theaters and broadcast live by CBS. More winners in other TV categories will be unveiled, but not all will be read out live.


Justin Bieber May Visit 'Wizards of Waverly Place'

Friends with its leading actress, Selena Gomez, Justin won't shut down the possibility of him guest starring in the series someday.


Video: Justin Bieber May Visit 'Wizards of Waverly Place', click here..


Selena Gomez may get a visit from fellow tween star on "Wizards of Waverly Place". Justin Bieber said in an interview with Pop Star that a cameo in the Disney Channel series "might happen". He, however, quickly added that nothing is on the card and that he did not know "what's going on there".

The rumors that the singing sensation would appear on the show sparked after he rang the New Year's Eve with Selena on TV special "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve". Selena got up on the stage when Justin was performing "One Less Lonely Girl" and they shared a couple of hugs. Justin also confirmed that he is a good friend of Selena and BFF Demi Lovato.

Should Justin indeed go to "Waverly Place", this would not be his first foray into the TV world. He had once appeared as himself on Nickelodeon's "True Jackson, VP". Keke Palmer's True was asking a favor from Justin after her charity event's performer backed out.

Lil Wayne to Voice Jesus Christ, Starring Opposite T-Pain

Hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne is set to lend his voice for a character of Jesus in a TV special for U.S cable channel Adult Swim called 'Freakniks.'

Hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne will resurrect Jesus Christ for a new animated series he's starring in with singer/rapper T-Pain. The "Lollipop" hitmaker will voice the Son of God in "Freakniks", a TV special for U.S cable channel Adult Swim.

Explaining the concept for the show, Jake Escobedo, creative director for Adult Swim, says, "Basically it was a 'Black Spring Break' that went down in Atlanta and got shut down back in '98 or '99. So the show is going to resurrect that, and it's going to be starring T-Pain and Lil Wayne and all these other artists like David Banner and some other dudes."

"It's all drawn, and T-Pain plays the ghost of spring break, the Spirit of Freaknik. He brings this party back to Atlanta and the artists have done all this music for it, and it's amazing." "Freakniks" will air in the U.S. on March 21.

Video: Zachary Levi Dishes on 'Chuck' Third Season

[It's] a little fritzy and glitchy, which lends itself to both the action and the comedy,' the depicter of the major character says when teasing about what can be expected from the upcoming season.


Video: Zachary Levi Dishes on 'Chuck' Third Season, click here..


Just few days before "Chuck" is back on the small screen, Zachary Levi has dished on third season of the NBC's series. Being interviewed by Zap2it during the break of the shooting in early December, the actor said the new Intersect will be "a little fritzy and glitchy, which lends itself to both the action and the comedy."

Additionally, Levi explained how Intersect 2.0 affects the upcoming season, telling Zap2it "[It's] kind of like 'The Matrix' and Neo a little bit, but not nearly as cool as that, because Chuck is just not the coolest character in the world." Then, at the end of video, he playfully showed a move from Chuck's action.

"Chuck" third season will be kicked off with a two-hour back-to-back episode on Sunday, January 10, at 8/7c. It then moves to the regular slot on Monday, January 11 at 9/8c being the lead of "Heroes" until February 8 and being the partner of "Parenthood" starting March 1.

Some of the guest stars for the season are Vinnie Jones who possesses "Guy Ritchie villain energy", Armand Asante who fits to play a Castro-type dictator, Robert Patrick as a soldier from Casey's past, and Stone Cold Steve Austin who is a "terrifying" baddie Chuck trapped in a plane with. Additionally, former "Smallville" actress Kristin Kreuk will make an appearance in the fifth episode as Hannah, a Buy More employee whom Chuck meets during a flight.

On the character that will be played by Lisa, executive Producer Bill Lawrence previously said, "She plays a dermatologist who is a horrible, horrible person, but [Cox] goes to her because she's the best. The [sight] of them playing people who dislike each other intensely was very funny for me to watch." In addition to Lisa, the show will also have Scott Foley coming in as another guest.

Despite fearing the meanest and most unrelenting dermatologist in town, Dr. Amy Evans (Lisa Kudrow), Jules and Ellie are willing to endure the harsh ridicule and wrath for an appointment with the best in the business.

Welcome to hell: Celebrity Big Brother house is unveiled... and it looks like a tacky private members' club

By Richard Simpson

Bling Big Brother: The house is full of red carpets, ornate chairs, two-way mirrors, faux fur rugs and throws and diamante embellishments and is supposed to represent Dante's Inferno

We are promised this is the last time we will ever have to endure Celebrity Big Brother.

So perhaps it is fitting that producers of the Channel 4 show which was once such a smash hit now want to make sure it does not just fade out with a whimper.

Designers have spent months and thousands of pounds making the usually bland house sparkle with private members club-style bling.


Sadly, it seems they are still been resigned to scraping the barrel for the actual 'celebrity' names for the show which starts next week.


Among those reportedly taking part are Ronnie Wood's ex Ekaterina Ivanova, Baywatch-turned-panto star Pamela Anderson, MC Hammer, page 3 girl Nicola T, former boyband member Dane Bowers and ex-Hollywood vice madam Heidi Fleiss.

Yesterday it seemed that Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh would be injecting a splash of glamour into the last ever series.

The 33-year-old actress, who plays Michelle Connor in the soap, seemed to have let on to her Twitter followers that she would be spending the new year in the house.

However, a spokeswoman for the ITV soap insisted the mum-of-two would be fulfilling her filming schedule on Corrie.

She told the Mail Online: 'There is no truth in it at all. Kym will be back filming with us the first week in January.'

And it emerged that the Twitter account which hosted messages apparently from the ex-Hear'Say singer was a fake.

Also, Boy George and Kerry Katona will not be in the house. He was refused leave by a judge to alter his curfew conditions and she is believed to have failed a psychological test.

Nor will astrologer Russell Grant be appearing on the show, as the 58-year-old is worried he could suffer an allergic reaction in the house, or possibly even die.

The stargazer suffers from asthma and turned down an offer of £250,000 from Channel 4 to appear on the show.

Russell is allergic to air-conditioning, so would not be able to spend any time in the house


Fire and hell: Gilded panels, black walls and furniture in rich reds and dark wood make up this year's house


Hell is other people: The house looks very different to the clean lines of previous years and will afford the celebrities far less private space


The last ever celebrity series is apparently based on the lofty ideas of such intellectual luminaries as Dante and Sartre.

The house itself is supposed to be inspired by Dante's Inferno, a 14th-century poem in which hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth.

Executive Producer Shirley Jones said: 'The famous line from Dante's Inferno is "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" which has inspired much of what we have done to the house, particularly the entrance which is dark and cavernous with flaming walls.

'When the celebrities arrive in the house on Sunday night they will definitely wonder what is in store for them, it looks incredibly different from previous years.'

In the living area the Dante's Inferno theme continues with gilded panels, black walls and furniture in rich reds and dark wood.


Abandon hope all ye who enter here: The celebrities will enter and leave through fiery doors


There are some 'luxurious' touches too, such as faux fur pelts draped over the sofas, cushions emblazoned with diamante skulls and ornate wall sconces illuminating macabre sculptures.

Jones continued: 'As well as Dante we have been hugely influenced by Sartre's line "Hell is other people" and the house reflects this.

'Whilst the flames and dark colours might look a bit hellish to some, sometimes your actual hell is the people you're with so we have removed some of the doors to make everything more open plan.

'There are very few areas to go to if someone needs to grab five minutes of peace and quiet.'
Off the main living space is the kitchen which is full of outsized equipment.


Diamante cushions: The theme of fire and hell is carried out throughout the living area


Faded opulence of an English country pile: At least the bathroom looks better


Inspired by a hospital morgue the kitchen is clinical and painted 'autopsy green'.

Unlike the summer show, there is no space in the kitchen to eat and so the celebrities will all have to share the large banqueting table that dominates the dining area.

The bathroom, Jones rather grandly adds, 'looks a bit like the faded opulence of an English country pile'.

The showers will allow the celebrity housemates some privacy.

Ageing Housewives: Eva Longoria transformed into old woman for TV flash forward

First she was ordered to put on weight when her glamorous character was transformed into a dowdy mother - now Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has undergone another makeover.

New photos from a forthcoming episode show Longoria's character Gaby Solis 30-years into the future - as a poverty-striken, grey-haired grandmother.

With long grey hair, wrinkles and dowdy clothes, the beautiful actress is barely recognisable.

The usually glamorous Eva Longoria will be transformed into an ageing grandmother for an upcoming episode of Desperate Housewives

The flash forward, which is expected to hit UK screens later next year, also hasn't been kind to Longoria's co-star Teri Hatcher.

It is expected to show that stick-thin Hatcher's character Susan Meyer has 'eaten herself into obesity.'

Longoria's character has already undergone a transformation - the most recent series is set in 2013 and sees former neighbourhood sex kitten Gaby as a dowdy mother of two.

HBO Teases New 'True Blood', 'The Pacific' and More

The cable network gives a preview of what's in stores in 2010, including also its line-up of original series such as 'Broadwalk Empire' that comes from award-winning Martin Scorsese.


Video: HBO Teases New 'True Blood', 'The Pacific', click here...


HBO has just released its annual yearender that teases also what's coming in 2010. "2009 was a big year for HBO, but 2010 will be just as big," the cable said in the promo. Among the returning shows that get the first look is "True Blood" and among the new shows is miniseries "The Pacific".

Unfortunately, the promo that utilizes the song "This Could Be the Year" by Ryan Star, only displays a few second of Bill-Sookie moment as well as a brief glimpse of Sam and Jessica with her fangs out. It is doubtful that any of the scene is new since production has just been kicked off this month and it's unlikely that the footage come out of it. The contrary happens to "Pacific" that gets a new footage of wedding and war scenes.

"True Blood", entering its third year, will be premiered in June while "The Pacific" that has ten episodes will be premiered on March 14. Other shows which are expected to come back during the summer are "Eastbound & Down", "Entourage", "Bored to Death" and "Hung". Meanwhile, the TV films that follow the success of "Grey Gardens" are "Temple Grandin", "The Special Relationship" and "You Don't Know Jack".

New series that will be introduced next year are drama "Treme", comedy "How to Make It in America", and another drama "Broadwalk Empire".

HBO is the network that gets the biggest number of nominations at 2010 Golden Globe Awards. Pocketing 17 nods in total, HBO has the chance to win through Anna Paquin, "Taking Chance" and Bill Paxton among others.

Jennifer Aniston, Mickey Rourke to Present at Golden Globes

Additionally, Julia Roberts who is a nominee at the January 17 ceremony is also tapped to present an award.



Three more actors are confirmed attending the upcoming 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards as they have been hired to present at the event. Jennifer Aniston, Mickey Rourke and Julia Roberts are the three new faces that join Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro in the presenters list.

While DiCaprio and De Niro are slated to present the Cecil B. DeMille Award to Martin Scorsese, Aniston, Roberts and Rourke will present individual categories. In addition, Access Hollywood confirmed that "Lost" actor Matthew Fox will also present. Roberts in particular is also a nominee this year, taking in a chance to be the Best Comedy Actress for her performance in "Duplicity".

The awards show, which will bring back the host format with Ricky Gervais on the duty, will be held on January 17 at Beverly Hilton. NBC will air it live at 8/7c. "Up in the Air" leads the movie pack with six nominations while "Glee" dominates the TV category with four.

All the three new presenters are Golden Globe winners. Aniston won one in 1994 for her portrayal of Rachel Green on "Friends" while Rourke took home Best Dramatic Actor in "The Wrestler" last year. Roberts had won three for her roles in "Steel Magnolias", "Pretty Woman" and "Erin Brockovich".

More presenters are expected to be announced in the weeks leading to the event.

Women of 'Bachelor' Season 14 in Photos

Take a look at the 25 bachelorettes who will compete for Jake Pavelka's heart this January, ten of whom will be sent home in the first episode.

The identities of 25 women competing for a shot at Jake Pavelka's love are revealed. "The Bachelor" season 14 dubbed "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" will have two women of the same name, a swimsuit model, a single mom and Jake's biggest fan.

The conquest to find one true love will begin airing on Monday, January 4. In the episode called "1401", Jake will spend some time with all the ladies in a party, greet them and make them compete in a friendly football game between the blondes and the brunettes.

Then, Jake will send home 10 of the 25 women based on first impression. The press release said that there is tension when Chris Harrison starts to take out the elimination roses. "For Michelle, who is one of Jake's biggest fans and will stop at nothing to get her man, the pressure is too much and she breaks down in tears when she doesn't get enough time with the Bachelor," the press release stated.

Jake himself said that this season is going to be as dramatic as the last ones. "I can tell you from the get-go, it is a very rocky and dramatic season," he revealed in a press call. "Some of the things that happened on the show, drama-wise, floored me."

However, he chose to be careful in answering the question whether he found love through the reality show. "I don't want to ruin the ending," he said. "I stayed true to myself from the very beginning. I went in and said very honestly, if I find love I'll come out engaged. I didn't promise a ring at the end of this and stayed true to myself. I didn't necessarily do what everybody wanted me to."

Jake Pavelka is the 31-year-old commercial pilot whom Jillian Harris of "The Bachelorette" season 5 did not pick to be her soul mate. He was sent home in the sixth week because Jillian thought he was too conservative.
