Celebrity News Shows

If Nicki Minaj’s verse in “Monster” can be believed, Kanye West missed out on a sure thing by skipping the Pink Friday rapper’s 26th birthday party at Tao in Vegas last night. Dressed in a sheer body suit with frosted naughty bits, Minaj partied with Kanye muse Amber Rose and singer Cassie before she was handed her pink cake. Though Yeezy didn’t show, Weezy—Lil’ Wayne, in case you’re confused—did make an appearance at the bash. Check out the gallery for shots of the party and check out our list of Nicki Minaj’s Top 20 Most Bootlyicious Pics—guess we gotta update that!

Rachel Uchitel Speaks on Celebrity Rehab Stint, Battle With "Love Addiction"

In a rare TV interview, Tiger Woods' famed mistress Rachel Uchitel spoke on the Today Show about her addiction to love and how that led her astray.
Appearing alongside her Celebrity Rehab mentor, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Rache promoted her stint on the VH1 program and explained why she went on it.
"I knew that I needed help," Uchitel, who claims she went on the program to deal with her love addiction. "And I wanted to get it from Dr. Drew."

Uchitel she needs help ... and had some lip injections.

The 35-year-old all-pro mistress also said she was being treated for addiction to Ambien and other prescribtion medications, which she did not identify.
Dr. Dew said Rachel Uchitel's condition is partly triggered by traumatic events in her past, such as the premature deaths of her father and fiance Andy.
She was set to get married before he perished in the 9/11 attacks.
"People think it is a moral issue if somebody falls in love, all over the place," Uchitel said. "It is not, it is a disease and disorder; you feel like you have a hole in your heart and are waiting for a knight in shining armor to come and save you."
In her case, that knight must be married and famous.
"But it is not an excuse for anyone's behavior. You get stuck in relationships that are not right; you put a mask over somebody and pretend they’re somebody they’re not. You get disappointed when they don’t react the way you want."
Pretty much what happened with David Boreanaz.
Fortunately, "I'm a completely different person now than I was before I went on the show," Uchitel said of the "most intense" Celebrity Rehab season yet.
The show premieres Wednesday. Don't miss it.

Brangelina Goes AWOL on Thanksgiving

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did their thing on Thanksgiving.
What that was, we have absolutely no idea, but it appears their kinds hung out on the beach for the holiday Angelina loathes, parents nowhere in sight.
Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Knox and Vivienne were all spotted at the beach, accompanied by their nannies on Thanksgiving. No sign of Ange or of Brad Pitt.

REWRITING HISTORY: Brangelina will have none of it.

Pitt did comment earlier that the family would be overseas, but did not mention specific plans. Likely because Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving.
“Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like many other Americans,” a source said of her perception of the day.
“To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn’t her style at all."
Apparently she put her money where her mouth is, at least.

Kate Gosselin Wastes Money on Tanning

What do you do when your diva-like ways are running your family into fiscal despair? If you're Kate Gosselin, you go get your tan on in Reading, Pa.
The mother of eight was seen exiting a local tanning salon, where she channeled her inner Snooki, before heading over to do "business" at a FedEx.
Here's Kate looking lean and sort of tan ...

BRIGHTER DAYS: Kate Gosselin has seen them.

We're not criticizing the tanning industry overall, but it seems like a waste of money when you've got eight mouths to feed and limited income, no?
Seriously, the children eat moldy food so you can do this!?!?
Kate, who recently admitted that her kids are under pressure lately, yet shows no apparent inclination to do anything about that, spent Thanksgiving day with the enormous brood before handing them off to their deadbeat dad.
