 "Let me tell you this about 'The View': I take a paycheck every other week. That's all I do. I could give a s*&t what comes. I do my job - I have a contract.That's where I stand. I don't give a f@&k." data-mce-href="mailto:f@&k.">f@&k." - Whoopi Goldberg answers questions about who could replace Joy Behar...or, for that matter, Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
I've hosted tons of pride festivals - from Stonewall 25 in NYC to LA Pride's 40th anniversary and everything in between (including Pride South Florida under recently departed Richard Cimoch). So I was very excited to participate in...

 Audiences love a reunion. This has been one of the secrets of the success of the TV Land Awards, the one awards show that routinely orchestrates reunions of our favorite TV casts. Alas, it appears those celebrations are a thing of the past. A spokesperson for the network has announced there are no plans for a 2013 TV Land Awards. That doesn't mean that the network is any less committed to such reunions.
The most successful show on TV Land is "Hot in Cleveland", and it regularly features notable stars of yesteryear. The producers have come up with an idea that seemed impossible - a reunion of ...

 "Guess I'm a natural. It was my first time.....Oh shit, you're right. It wasn't my first time. But that was a dildo. If I'd had the guts, it woulda been real." - James Franco remembers discovering his talent to "deep throat" onscreen in "Broken Tower". We didn't forget since we have the footage of him going down on a

 "In truth, no one wants to see my pale little chicken legs sprawled out on some shag carpet." - Anderson Cooper shoots down reports that he was asked to pose nude for Playgirl. The only thing that surprises me about this quote is the thought that Anderson has a shag carpet (I always pictured it to be more of a snow white Berber - to match the drapes, naturally).
I'm sure I'm not the only one who laughs when Barbara Walters mispronounces a name or treats Whoopi like she's really Miss Celie. But I'm gonna miss that crazy...

 True to his word, "Good Morning America" weatherman Sam Champion married his beau Rubem Robierb in NYC a few days before Christmas. The twosome had a reception in Miami on New Year's Eve. Champion said, "It's a shame we can't officially have a legal ceremony in Florida. We're not separating them, because we'd like to do it twice. New York it will be legal. Miami will be the spiritual side to celebrate with the people who have been with us and supporting us and been a part of our lives since we met." There's another significance to the date. The pair met at a New Year's Eve party in Miami three years ago...

 "I've spent time with George Clooney and he's the most interesting man on the planet. He can do it all. Yep, I guess what I'm saying is I'd have sex with him." - Channing Tatum shares this information with a reporter at a screening for his film "White House Down". Note that the question was not "What man would you have sex with". It was "Who do you think is the sexiest man in the world". I guess Chan just had this burning desire to say he'd have sex with Clooney.
With everything going on in the world, it may seem trite to open this week's column announcing Dionne Warwick's bankruptcy. But, let's face it - if I'm not going to make Dionne Warwick a lead story, who is? According to papers filed in court, Warwick has roughly $1,000 in cash against a $10 million tax debt. I hate to sound insensitive (a statement that usually precedes something terribly insensitive), but where were her Psychic Friends?

 If I am to continue writing this column, I'm going to need to be put on medication. Clearly I am far too invested in the lives of people I barely know. This week, we all heard the news that Valerie Harper has brain cancer. That sounds bad enough, but it's even worse. What she has is leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, which is a type of cancer that's located in the fluid surrounding the brain. It's not something that can be removed or operated on - it's circulating. As a result, her doctors told her on January 15th that...

 If I'm being honest, I really don't care about the Super Bowl, Beyoncé, or for that matter, Destiny's Child. I don't have anything against them, but I can pretty much take 'em or leave 'em. Personal feelings aside, I do have a job to do, so I tuned into the halftime show like everyone else. Regarding the much-touted Destiny's Child reunion, I thought the half a song they did was fine. But it takes a...

 In some happy news, Matt Dallas just announced that he got engaged...to a MAN! Although the former "Kyle XY" star has never made any formal statement along the lines of, "Yup, I'm Gay", he Tweeted this news rather nonchalantly: "Starting off the year with a new fiancé, @bluehamilton. A great way to kick off 2013!" I'm sure this will lead to the inevitable question, how many old fiancés has Matt had? I'm not privy to such personal information, but I must confess that this revelation did not take me by surprise. I first met Matt when he was a bartender at Kathy Griffin's Christmas party - a sure telltale sign. Around that time ...

 "Most ridiculous night of my life in LA so far. At least I made it a year before getting arrested." - Scott Evans updates his Facebook status. The hunky actor (and brother of Chris Evans) was arrested when he allegedly attempted to purchase drugs from an undercover cop. What those drugs were has not been released, but Scott was...on $10,000 bail.
