Here's today's dirt... Catch it two times a night at 6:50(ish) and 8:50(ish), but in case you missed it:




*Fran Drescher is campaigning to get Hillary Clinton’s open senate seat.  Well the good news is if she doesn’t get it, she can always buy Barack Obama’s.

*Paula Abdul says that the stalker who died outside her house was trying to kill her.  No Paula, that’s Simon who is trying to do that.

*Speaking of Idol stuff, Ryan Seacrest is apparently dating Tara Connor whom you may remember as the Miss USA contestant who had to go to rehab.  The two will compete on live TV for title of America’s Dumbest Blonde.

*Tila Tequila is writing a book called Hooking Up with Tila Tequila: A Guide to Love, Fame, Happiness, Success, and Being the Life of the Party.  I think she should actually achieve at least one of those things before writing a book about it.

*Jay Leno has signed on to stay with NBC.  He’ll basically host the Tonight Show, only in primetime.  Conan O’Brien turned as red as his hair when he heard.

*Oprah Winfrey has admittedly "fallen off the wagon" and now weighs in at 200 pounds. She opens up about her personal battle in the upcoming issue of O Magazine where she admits to over-eating and not being able to fit in her gown for President-elect Obama's inauguration.  Oprah then reminded everyone that she’s rich enough to get away with murder, so no one should make fun of her weight.  Oops.

*Kid Rock is daring PETA to throw red paint on him while he’s wearing one of his fur coats.  If it forces him to shower then I’m all for this.

*Kate Hudson says the economy is affecting even her and thus most of her presents to other people will be hand made.  It should be mentioned that her family will be spending the holiday skiing in Colorado, so I guess they’ll be paying for that trip in birdhouses.
