With the just-announced renewal of The Late Show through 2014, David Letterman is set to become the longest-running late-night host in TV history. Letterman and Craig Ferguson both renewed contracts with CBS . Letterman’s Late Show and Ferguson’s Late Late Show will remain air through 2014. Letterman has weathered a sex scandal , Sarah Palin, Rosie O’Donnell, and accusations of mailing it in to become a TV institution of incredible longevity. Dave launched his career with NBC’s Late Night in 1982. With this new deal, he’ll surpass Johnny Carson’s record of 30 years hosting a late night talk show. Lady Gaga on Late Show with David Letterman Said CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler: “David Letterman is a late night legend with an iconic show and Craig Ferguson continues to evolve the genre in exciting and innovative ways.”
Looks like The Help is turning on The Kardashians. A former family nanny is shopping a tell-all book about her time with the famous family before they were that famous. Spoiler alert: She’s not a big fan! Pam Behan, served as a nanny, personal assistant and cook for Bruce and Kris Jenner for years, getting to know the Kardashian girls and Brody Jenner. She couldn’t stand Brody or his brother Brandon (Bruce’s kids from his first marriage), calling the two Jenner boys “extremely spoiled and disrespectful.” As for the K-squad? Pam describes her relationship with Kris Jenner as a “love/hate” thing. We totally get it. Sort of like THG’s relationship with her, only without the first part. Despite selling him out in a book, she seems somewhat fond of Bruce, claiming he helped her avoid prosecution when she was busted for DUI a while back. Behan promises to reveal some “intimate details” about Kourtney and Kim Kardashian , which is surprising, as the girls were reportedly very fond of her. Then again, it could be one of those empty promises used to sell books, since no one would by a tell-all about Brody Jenner. Sorry B. Just how it is. Several agents have indicated interest, but no deal has been struck yet. [Photo: WENN.com]
We’re down to the final two. With the remaining moments of 2011 ticking down by the day (there are only two left!), THG has been ranking the most newsworthy celebrities of the past year. Starting at #10 with Lindsay Lohan, the countdown moved on to Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez , viral video stars , Katy Perry and Justin Bieber . All worthy peeps. Pretty much everyone in the British Royal Family came in at #4, followed by the winner himself, Charlie Sheen , at #3. Which brings us to COTY finalist #2 … … Ms. Lady Gaga! Yes, Lady Gaga knows how to use shock value and outrageous antics to get attention, but she’s so much more than a flash in the pan. The 25-year-old is an artiste, a powerhouse performer and a pop cultural sensation, through and through. Can anyone really dispute that after the 2011 she’s had? With the release of her epic album Born This Way , and the premiere of its title track at the Grammy Awards, which featured her hatching from an egg on stage, Gaga put the planet on notice that she’s just getting started as her generation’s pop icon. Lady Gaga characterized BTW as “something so much deeper than a wig or lipstick or a fucking meat dress.” Fans and critics agreed she is taking music to the “next level.” An advocate for self-acceptance regardless of race or sexual orientation, her music is known for not only its catchy beats, but for its artistic and cultural references. Subsequent singles “Judas” and “The Edge of Glory” continued to push the envelope, receiving criticism for some concepts but acclaim for her overall delivery and range. Later in the year, “You and I” and “Marry the Night” gained recognition for their elaborate music videos, not to mention introspective looks inside the mind of Gaga. That alone is an impressive list, but it’s not even half the story with the girl born Stefani Germanotta who went on to become the hardest working woman in showbiz. Hardly a day goes by without her shutting it down with monster live efforts, collaborating with new artists, dreaming up new ideas … or chatting with fans on Twitter. A self-proclaimed student of fame, she always has her finger on the pulse of pop culture, and has become a living, breathing, one-woman Internet meme in a sense. Take a bow, Lady Gaga. Here’s a look at some of her MANY performances from the past year, which has been one we’ll always remember for how exciting she made it: Lady Gaga – You and I (Ft. Sugarland, Live) Lady Gaga – Marry The Night (Live on X Factor UK) Lady Gaga – Bill Clinton Foundation Performance, Part 1 Lady Gaga – Hair (Live Jamey Rodemeyer Tribute) Lady Gaga – The Edge Of Glory (Live on American Idol) Lady Gaga on Late Show with David Letterman Justin Timberlake & Andy Samberg (ft Lady Gaga) – Three Way (The Golden Rule) Lady Gaga – Born This Way (Grammy Awards)
