Gosselin’s vs TLC, Settle & Wife Split, Goldie To Teach, & More…

February 17th, 2010

Here’s the Scoop….

“Golden Girls” legend Betty White is surprised fans have
launched an online campaign to land her a job on “Saturday
Night Live,” because she thought the public would be sick
of seeing her on TV.

Over 330,000 members of social networking website Facebook
have signed a petition to urge “Saturday Night Live” bosses
to let Betty act as a celebrity host on the long running
sketch show.

The campaign follows Betty’s hit Super Bowl ad for Snickers,
which showed her being tackled to the ground during a game of
American Football.

And Betty is overwhelmed so many people are backing her for a
role on the show, as she thought people would “be throwing
rocks instead”.

Betty commented, “I’m just amazed. I would think by now that
they’ve had such an overdose of Betty White that they’d be
throwing rocks instead. It would depend on scheduling and all
that. But who knows? You can’t ever say yes or no or never.
You just wait to see what happens.”

Jon Gosselin and TLC Reach a Settlement…

The fight between reality TV’s most famous dad, Jon Gosselin,
and TLC is finally over.

“TLC has reached a settlement with Jon Gosselin and will be
undertaking procedural steps to conclude the litigation,”
the network said in a statement Wednesday. “All terms of the
settlement are confidential. The whole Gosselin family
remain under contract with TLC. ”

A source close to the situation says that the network “hopes
they will soon be able to film the family again,” but rules
out a return of the hit show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, that made
the family household names.

The ugly back-and-forth between the network and Gosselin
included a lawsuit filed by TLC against Jon for alleged
breach of contract. It claimed that by making paid and unpaid
TV appearances without the cable network’s permission he was
in violation of his agreement with the channel.

Later, Jon filed a $5-million counterclaim, saying that the
network had damaged his career by preventing him from working
with other media outlets. Gosselin had also forbidden the
network from filming his eight children with Kate Gosselin.

Gossip Girl’s Matthew Settle and Wife Split…

Gossip Girl star Matthew Settle and his wife, Naama Nativ
have split.

“It’s true and we are working on that,” Matthew commented at
Tuesday’s G-Star Raw runway fashion show in New York. “Things
happen in life and you just have to roll with it. I wish
things could have been better but our focus is on our daughter.”

Meanwhile, a source says, “They have been separated for a
while now,” and legal proceedings are still underway and no
divorce papers between Matthew and Naama have been filed yet.

The couple, who lived together in Manhattan, where Settle
was based for his role as family patriarch on Gossip Girl,
welcomed a daughter, Aven Angelica Settle, last March.

Despite the family strife, “the baby is doing great,” said
the source. And Settle continues to play an active role in
his little girl’s upbringing. “Both parents are devoted to
their child,” adds the source. “Aven is still a part of
Matthew’s everyday life.”

Goldie Hawn wants to teach Buddhism to British kids…

Goldie Hawn is in talks to set up a Buddhist school in the
United Kingdom.

The actress’ Hawn Foundation already teaches kids Buddhist
techniques in schools across America, and now she wants to
take the initiative across the Atlantic, and use the teachings
to help British children build social and emotional stability,
and curb violent outbursts in the classroom and playground.

Goldie says, “We need to rethink our whole approach to
classroom education, integrating neuroscience with the latest
social and emotional learning techniques. A peaceful, happy
child is the first step towards a peaceful world.”

Goldie’s plans have won the support of Britain’s Conservative
Party, whose education secretary, Michael Gove, confirms,
“We are meeting to discuss how she might be able to help
education here.

“We need more new schools outside local authority control to
challenge the bureaucratic monopoly.”

Robert Pattinson in awe of friendly Pierce Brosnan…

“Twilight” heart-throb Robert Pattinson was impressed with
Pierce Brosnan’s social skills while filming their new movie,
because the former James Bond star was so kind to his fans.

Robert spent a lot of time with Brosnan while they were in
New York City shooting “Remember Me.”

But while Robert found it difficult to deal with all of the
attention from fans while out in public with his co-star,
Pierce was generous with his time when meeting devotees, and
the young actor was left in awe of the smooth-talking Irishman.

Robert commented, “He’s totally recognizable, and he makes no
effort to tone it down. Some people were glancing over at us
in the restaurant, and he just went over and introduced himself.
And it does work. It dissipates all the attention.

“Me? I just crawl under the table.”

This Hollywood heart-throb made waves in Australia after hundreds
of screaming fans invaded a Sydney beach to watch the star’s
surfing lesson…

It’s Zac Efron…

The “High School Musical” actor joined Australian surf champions
Layne Beachley and Tom Whitaker for a lesson at the city’s famous
Bondi beach as part of a charity event.

But the Oakley’s Learn to Ride surf session, in aid of the OneSight
Foundation, was disrupted by legions of Zac’s teenage fans, who
took to the sands to glimpse their idol.

Security teams erected metal barriers around the beach in a bid to
hold back the swelling crowd, but the fans burst through and surged
onto the sand as a dozen bodyguards attempted to shield the star
from the attentions.

But despite the security fears, Zac still enjoyed 30 minutes in
the water with the surf pros.

Here’s the Scoop….

Mark McGwire finally came clean, admitting he used steroids
when he broke baseball’s home run record in 1998.

Mark said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on
Monday he used steroids on and off for nearly a decade.
During a 20-minute telephone interview shortly afterward,
his voice repeatedly cracked.

“It’s very emotional, it’s telling family members, friends
and coaches, you know, it’s former teammates to try to get
hold of, you know, that I’m coming clean and being honest,”
he said. “It’s the first time they’ve ever heard me, you
know, talk about this. I hid it from everybody.”

Mark repeatedly expressed regret for his decision to use
steroids, which he said was “foolish” and caused by his
desire to overcome injuries, get back on the field and
prove he was worth his multi-million dollar salary.

Mel Gibson: ‘I Feel Sorry for Tiger Woods’…

Mel Gibson, who endured one of the bigger Hollywood scandals
of recent years, says the Tiger Woods affair has been blown
way out of proportion, but that it wouldn’t do the golfer
any good to whine about that now.

“I feel sorry for Tiger Woods,” Mel says. “Why are we talking
about this when we’re sending 30,000 more troops to
Afghanistan? … He’s being used as a diversion, and it just
drives me crazy.”

Having said that, Mel, who stars in the upcoming film Edge of
Darkness, believes Woods has little to gain from complaining
about the coverage of his alleged affairs.

“Nobody is without sin,” he says. “You have to try to make
amends if you can. You have to shut up and move on and not
whine about it. And you have to deal with it like a man …
You’ve just got to accept your own culpability.”

Is Katy Perry Dropping Pregnancy Hints…

Either everyone is reading too much between the Tweets, or
Katy is sprinkling clues she’s having a baby with new
fiancé Russell Brand.

It started with her Jan. 1 message: “Let me tell you 2010 is
BUMPIN!” Then on Friday, Katy wrote, “Hey @rustyrockets” –
Brand’s Twitter name – “i heard ur prego-ed.” She adds, “I
WANT IN AND OUT,” a Southern California hamburger chain,
before telling Brand, “I love you … (awwwww barf!).”

Bump, prego, cravings, barf? It was all very cryptic, but
then it was only a few days ago that Katy made oblique song
lyric references on Twitter, before Brand came out and
confirmed they were engaged on New Year’s Eve.

Sylvester says, “It was seven guys, kicking each other’s a**,
one guy tougher than the next. No joke, our stunt guys were
begging for mercy.

ended up getting a hairline fracture in my neck. I’m not
joking. I haven’t told anyone this, but I had to have a very
serious operation afterwards.

“I now have a metal plate in my neck.”
