we're back on this fun day with more of "today "skp" and all the celebrity news that will have you buzzing.
>>
bonnie fuller
is editor in chief of celebritylife.com.
>>
hello, ladies.
>>
well, well, well. we were enjoying a hot summer weekend and you guys were getting all the buzz.
>>
it was a quiet weekend until this morning and now more
mel
news. another very disturbing tape that's been revealed of him talking about oksana and
having sex
in front of her 12-year-old.
>>
this is the seventh tape released by radaronline.
>>
he produced some of her recordings.
>>
her music.
>>
er had music. and actually co-wrote some of the songs. and now she wants to re-release these, and he's not putting what they call his
john hancock
on the whole thing.
>>
can you imagine? why not? i mean, you just have to wonder, you know, what was going on that would have pushed her to make all of these audiotapes public when she knew that he was holding the strings on this record that he produced.
>>
haven't they proven, though, she's the one that released them?
>>
the suspicion's on her sister right now.
>>
oh, releasing it.
>>
where is he?
>>
she didn't release them to the police, we noticed. they go to a website, to radaronline.
>>
where is he? what's he doing? does anyone know?
>>
he's been extremely quiet. however, he did have a visit with the department of child and
family services
. they met with him in court last week. apparently for about two hours. and as a result of that, the judge decided not to take custody away from him.
>>
oh, okay. interesting.
>>
and
mel
has hired someone to supervise visits with his child, with lucia.
>>
smart idea.
>>
to protect him from further accusations.
>>
we'll be hearing that tape, i would imagine, all day. it just came in so we have to bleep everything out.
>>
it's pretty long.
>>
so lindsay is now on her sixth day of prison? or jail?
>>
she did not have a good weekend in jail.
>>
a meltdown? what happened?
>>
and not the good kind.
>>
no. i feel for her. i feel for her. apparently the jail is absolutely frigid. she was shivering and crying and wailing to such a degree all night that the other prisoners, her cellmates, started to taunt her.
>>
we're not learning much yet. it's as if she's still thinking it's all about her. the court thinks she needs to learn in prison, which is it's not all about you. you live on a planet with other people, and you obey driving laws and
alcohol laws
.
>>
right.
>>
she and
mel
need to get together and have a 12-step program and go on "
dancing with the stars
."
>>
with
sarah palin
and meet a few grizzlies and have some perspective.
>>
speaking of
sarah palin
, i was reading about
sarah palin
and
kate gosselin
coupling.
>>
kate gosselin
is taking her kids on a camping trip to alaska as part of her show.
>>
yes. it's all part of the
reality series
, which is not reality.
>>
kate is now being billed as a maverick mom.
>>
oh.
>>
maverick mom.
>>
so what does palin have to do with the whole deal?
>>
it's a soft opening for her series which is going to be "
sarah palin
's alaska." so this is the way of introducing her.
>>
a cross-over.
>>
same network?
>>
no, one is discovery, and one is tlc.
>>
okay.
>>
so there's some relationship there.
>>
a common denominator called ratings.
>>
yes.
>>
sarah's dad is a former science teacher. so apparently he's going to give lessons to the kids.
>>
ooh, it might be very cute. it's certainly not illegal.
sarah palin
, if she's wanting to be the nominee for the presidency in
2012
, you wonder why if she's thinking very clearly about everything she does in the next couple years, which is establish a pattern.
>>
she's certainly establishing more income for her family. apparently she's being paid about $1 million per episode, eight episodes for that show.
>>
what's the latest with bristol and levi? does he have something else going, levi?
>>
yes, he does. funny you should ask.
>>
he's in a
music video
.
>>
of course, he is.
>>
yes.
>>
what took him so long?
>>
he sings or is he dancing?
>>
he's --
>>
he's the
love interest
, isn't he?
>>
he's playing a role. but so far no takers, we hear, for their new
reality show
. that's not been an easy sell.
>>
because of the "
us weekly
" cover didn't sell well at all. it was a real bomb.
>>
real bomb. do you think people are just tired of it or innately characters that aren't that interested in?
>>
they're not that interesting. if you really get down to it, neither has really done that much except scandalize their families.
>>
a couple of movies were doing well this weekend. you saw both of them. "salt" is number two. did you guys see that?
>>
i saw "salt."
>>
loved it?
>>
do you think she's the only one that could have carried it off?
>>
absolutely.
>>
i can't imagine any other actress doing this. she's extraordinary.
>>
you have to give her cred for all of the action scenes and doing most of her own stunt work. what's funny is after being in all of these bloody situations and acting situations, she comes out looking gorgeous.
>>
she doesn't even have a limp. she's jumping. she's on the ground. she's bloodied, battered and gorgeous.
>>
of course, she is.
>>
well, come on.
>>
i did like that it was so female empowering.
>>
yeah.
>>
and that she was so strong.
>>
although she had --
>>
don't give it away.
>>
i said
achilles heel
.
>>
there's one scene, and maybe we shouldn't give this away either, where she has to cover a camera and she uses an article of clothing that a man would have never used.
>>
he could have used his boxers.
>>
she had a jacket on.
>>
she doesn't need her underwear.
>>
don't you think this bodes very well for female leads? i mean, she carried it, $36 million opening.
>>
they said she was paid $20 million for it, and they leave it totally open for a sequel.
>>
we'll definitely be seeing her again.
>>
we'll have the quell with you guys next week. thank
