Kim Kardashian Sketcher's Super Bowl Ad


She’s all about keeping it classy, but it looks like Kim Kardashian upped her sexy for a brand new Skechers ad airing this Sunday during the Super Bowl.

Of the steamy commercial, Kim told press, "I don't want to give too much away, but it's you know, it's pretty provocative, it's fun and sexy and ... let's just say I break someone's heart. So it's like, you know, was so easy to do. So easy to shoe."

Margaret Cho Discusses Returning To ABC 16 Years After Body Image Controversy


HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- The year was 1994. A budding young comedian from San Francisco named Margaret Cho landed the lead in her own show on a major network. The show was called "All-American Girl" and the network was ABC -- it followed a fictional Korean-American teen, loosely based on Margaret herself, as she navigated her complicated family life. And then... everything went wrong.

Margaret's show was not picked up for a second season and the comedian very publicly accused network executives of causing her permanent health problems by forcing her to lose weight for it. She claimed that before the show's premiere, the execs forced her to lose 30 pounds in two weeks, causing her kidneys to collapse. She also claimed the network hired a consultant to make her seem "more Asian" and to promote Asian stereotypes. She detailed the entire crisis in her 2000 comedy tour (and subsequent film), "I'm The One That I Want."

Where Do Stars Keep Their Emmy's?


Jon Stewart once joked that he would use his Emmy statuette to prop up the sinking foundation of his house. Most Emmy winners, though, tend to keep their trophies in a special place indoors.

As nominees gear up for Sunday's 62nd annual ceremony, a look at where past winners keep their coveted hardware:

• Jennifer Aniston, who won in 2002 for "Friends": She had kept that Emmy and another award on a shelf in her office. "I thought, 'How do I make good use of them?' So, they're bookends."

• Four-time winner Helen Mirren ("Prime Suspect" in 1995 and 2006; "The Passion of Ayn Rand" in 1999 and "Elizabeth I" in 2005): "I've got one in England and I've got one here (in the United States), and I guess ... I don't know where it is. The one that I have here is, actually, in my office in New York. But the one in England — I think it's in my living room. I can't remember."

• Bette Midler, whose Emmys include a 1992 trophy for outstanding individual performance on the penultimate airing of "The Tonight Show" starring Johnny Carson: "My three Emmys are in the city, in New York, in my home. I don't display them. I just have them in a cupboard somewhere. I'm very proud of them. But the thing that I'm most proud of is my Johnny Carson. I have a photograph of me and Johnny Carson, the last night. And that's the only thing I display."

Lea Michele Pushes for Justin Timberlake on Glee


In a new interview, Lea Michele proves she has a very sexy side and, also, very good taste in men.

The actress rarely has a chance show off much of the former on Glee, as she portrays the straight-laced Rachel Berry. But she gets to be seductive and alluring in a shoot for celebrity hairdresser Mark Townsend’s official website.

Michele is also asked who she'd like to see guest star on her hit Fox show and replied with an answer we share: “Justin Timberlake would be the perfect Glee guest star: He sings, he dances, and he’s hilarious.”

Recent Glee spoilers hint that this may actually take place on the Super Bowl episode of the musical comedy. Commence fist-pumping, fans!

Britney Spear to Appear On Glee


Despite previous reports that Britney Spears would not personally appear on the Glee tribute episode devoted to her, creator Ryan Murphy says she will!

Just last week, star Jane Lynch said that the episode was very much in the works, musically and plot-wise, but the pop singer herself would not appear.

So much for that.

On Ryan Seacrest's radio show today, Murphy said Brit is 100 percent "going to be on the episode," likely as a dental assistant to John Stamos' character.

"The Britney episode is so reverential about her and so kind and it's about her music and it's not about her personal life," Murphy revealed to Seacrest.
