Betty Confirms SNL, Burke To Host DWTS, Tiger & Elin, & More…

March 8th, 2010

Here’s the Scoop….

Anyone who watched carefully during the Oscar telecas knows
exactly what I am going to talk about…

During the In Memoriam tribute, which remembers all the stars
we have lost over the past year, two very honorable and
distinguished actresses were overlooked.

Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur!

Though one could argue that these ladies were primarily TV
actresses, both did have parts in some lesser known films.
Besides, Michael Jackson got thrown in there and off-hand,
we can only think of one movie he has been in!

You’ve got a lot of explaining to do Academy!

Betty White Confirms She’ll Appear on Saturday Night Live…

Betty White fans, your prayers have been answered. The former
Golden Girl will appear on Saturday Night Live in the near
future, Betty confirmed at Elton John’s annual Oscars viewing
party on Sunday night.

Fans have been clamoring for Betty to do SNL, an idea she
called “ridiculous” just a few weeks ago, ever since her
comic turn in a Snickers ad during the Super Bowl. One
Facebook page devoted to the cause has attracted half a
million fans.

When Betty was asked are you doing Saturday Night Live, she
answered, “Yes,” even if she remains perplexed by the groundswell
of support.

“I don’t know why or how,” she says, “but it’s been wonderful.”

Betty didn’t offer any details about the SNL gig, and it remains
unclear when she will appear, or what it will entail.

According to reports, she might appear on a special “Women of
Comedy” episode with former SNL cast members Molly Shannon, Tina
Fey and Amy Poehler, but executive producer Lorne Michaels
reportedly denied that.

Betty’s career resurgence hasn’t come completely out of the blue.
She did star with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in the romantic
comedy The Proposal, and was recognized with a lifetime
achievement award at the Screen Actors Guild.

LOOSE LIPS: “Nobody wouldve looked at me twice if it weren’t for
IDOL. Back then, I was 20 pounds heavier and literally fresh off
the farm” – Carrie Underwood

*-*-* GUESS WHO *-*-*-

This Acting legend is still bitter about his son’s decision to
cast Jack Nicholson as the lead in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s
Nest,” because he was sure the “Wall Street” star would hand
him the role…

It’s Kirk Douglas…

Kirk owned the rights to the Ken Kesey classic and harbored plans
to turn it into a movie.

He decided to give his son, who at the time was a struggling actor,
the chance to make his mark in Hollywood as a producer and handed
the book to his son to turn into reality.

It took several years for Douglas Jr. to raise enough funds to make
the movie and he and his co-producer Saul Zaentz eventually chose
Nicholson to play R.P. McMurphy, because he no longer wanted to live
in his famous father’s shadow.

The decision to cast the then Jack instead of Kirk left the veteran
star annoyed, but Michael insists he has no regrets.

He tells Vanity Fair magazine, “My father has played up his
disappointment with that pretty good. God bless him, he’s 93. I
finally said, ‘Dad, I worked six years getting this together. . .’”

But Michael admits his father has been more than adequately
compensated financially from the 1975 project.

He adds, “I have to remind him, I shared part of my producing back-
end (credit) with him, so he ended up making more money off that
movie than he had in any other picture.”

Naomi Wanted for Questioning After Hitting Driver…

Naomi Campbell may be in hot water with police yet again after
an alleged confrontation with her driver in New York City on
Tuesday.

Naomi is wanted for questioning by the NYPD after allegedly
slapping and punching her driver on the east side around
3 p.m.

The supermodel reportedly assaulted the driver before getting
out of the car and leaving the scene. The driver had pulled
over to speak to a traffic agent.

A spokesperson for Naomi says, “There shouldn’t be a rush to
judgment. Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more
to the story than meets the eye.”

This is not the first time Naomi has been accused of violence.

In 2006, she was arrested for hitting her housekeeper with a
crystal-studded BlackBerry during a fight. A judge ordered her
to complete several hours of community service in 2007 as a
result. In 2008, she was sentenced to 200 hours of community
service and fined $4500 for assaulting two police officers in
London’s Heathrow airport.

This actress enjoyed her last two stints in rehab, comparing the
visits to a vacation…

It’s Lindsay Lohan…

Lindsay has checked into treatment programs on three separate
occasions, beginning with a stay in a clinic in 2007 while
subsequent visits were court-ordered.

But Lindsay insists she made the most out of rehab by meeting
new people and relaxing.

Lindsay comments, “The second two times I went to rehab, I had
to go because it was a court thing. It was an obligation. I had
to do it to stay out of getting any jail time. And I took
responsibility for that. And it was like a vacation.

“I love meeting new people and seeing what they’ve been
experiencing. That’s what I go through in different characters.
And I met some great people. It was a nice time to shut everyone
off for a while because there was so much noise… It was a
positive experience. When I was there it was like, there’s a lot
of people that I know who should really be here now, not for
drugs or alcohol abuse, just to learn about life. The world
is nuts.”
