THG Presents: The 10 Biggest Turkeys of 2015!

Happy Thanksgiving, readers, from all of us at THG to you and yours. What would this quintessential, traditional, uniquely American holiday be without family, food, football and appreciation for the things we hold dearest? Who will win the 9th Annual Spencer Pratt Thanksgiving Turkey Award!? In the case of The Hollywood Gossip, on this twenty-sixth day of November, Two Thousand Fifteen, that means turkeys, in more ways than one. Below, we’re paying tribute to some of the celebrities we’ve had the honor, the pleasure, and the burden of covering here over the past 10.87 months. We’re talking serious turkeys. Legit bird brains up in hurrr. So who ruffled feathers with antics that left us shaking our heads, hanging our heads in shame, and/or laughing our heads off at the same time? Without further ado, here are our Top 10 Turkeys of 2014 … 10. Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett (tie) . These two are something else. Even in an era where shameless reality TV stars are a dime a dozen. 9. Ben Carson and Jeb Bush (tie) . The tryptophan of presidential candidates, these two dudes are probably boring relatives to sleep as we speak. View Slideshow: 19 Things Donald Trump Has Actually Said While Running for President 8. Donald Trump . Higher energy, for sure, but even more fowl. 7(a). Justin Bieber . It’s still hard to believe that this former baby-faced global teen heart throb has officially morphed into the globe’s biggest douche. Entertaining, yet still kind of horribly depressing. For us all. 7(b). Scott Disick . Justin’s most elite rival for the D-bag title. Admittedly, we used to worship the wild man and the comic relief he brought to Keeping Up With the Kardashians and the celebrity gossip world. Mofo needs to pull it together for his kids though. Lord. 6. Florida Man . If you see a thoroughly absurd news headline you swear must be from The Onion but is somehow real, #FloridaMan was likely involved. View Slideshow: 23 Teresa Giudice GIFs That Should Worry Her Fellow Inmates 5. Teresa and Joe Giudice . Yes, the system won by sentencing both to prison. Yet they remain larger than life and just as – if not more – ridiculous. 4. All the stars of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 . Incredibly for a franchise that’s been around this long, 2015 might be the cast’s nuttiest on record. We’re talking nuttier than Aunt Edna’s fruitcake, especially lately. Perhaps it’s time for a break from having babies. Or just being Leah and Farrah. 3. Charlie Sheen . We wish the HIV-positive star well, we truly do, but it’s hard to imagine ruffling more feathers than he has with his dubious antics. 2. Tyga . Not sure what’s worse, dating a teenager or somehow blowing it and getting dumped AFTER she turns 18 and becomes rich and famous. 1. Josh Duggar . Comment rendered unnecessary.

R.I.P. Comedic Icon And Actress Joan Rivers Dead At Age 81

The writing was on the wall Joan Rivers Pronounced Dead At Mt Sinai Hospital Via Variety Raunchy, gravelly-voiced and self-deprecating comedian Joan Rivers, who rose from Greenwich Village standup to occasional host of “The Tonight Show” and star of TV’s “Fashion Police,” died Thursday after going into cardiac arrest during a medical procedure on Sept. 3. She was 81. “She passed peacefully at 1:17pm surrounded by family and close friends,” her daughter, Melissa, said in a statement. “My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon.” Rivers had been admitted to New York’s Mt. Sinai hospital after she stopped breathing during a procedure on her vocal cords at a New York Clinic, and was placed in a medically-induced coma to assess her condition. A petite blonde firebrand, the always-wry Rivers, known for the catchphrase “Can we talk?,” was a pioneering confessional female comic, lampooning her personal life (her parents, her marriage, her plastic surgery) on TV and in clubs for more than five decades. Whatever the gig — permanent replacement host on “The Tonight Show,” co-host of “Fashion Police,” her own varied syndicated talkshows, Vegas engagements, bestselling nonfiction books, often biting commentator on awards’ show arrivals along with daughter Melissa and even QVC saleswoman — the petite, feisty Rivers was never far out of the spotlight. Her biting comedy, ability to ad-lib effortlessly in any situation and sheer moxie endeared her to generations of television viewers. She was the ultimate yenta, the quintessential kibbitzer — a talent exemplified in her scathing commentary on E!’s “Fashion Police.” Rivers started co-hosting the show in 2010 along with Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos. While many have lacked any sort of empathy for Joan and her family, she will certainly be missed by many Hollyweird and and beyond. Rest In Peace, Joan Rivers. Image via WENN

R.I.P. Trayvon: George Zimmerman’s Mama Writes Letter Complaining Her Son Is An Innocent Man Arrested To “Placate The Masses”

GTFOHWTBS! If you believe George Zimmerman’s mom he’s just some innocent man who was defending his home. Are you buying it? Via Daily Mail : Gladys Zimmerman published an open letter today, the one year anniversary of prosecutors arresting George Zimmerman for second-degree murder. In it, she thanks supporters who helped the family when they were forced into hiding after receiving numerous death threats. She writes that Zimmerman’s June 10 trial will ‘confirm’ the truth about the February 26, 2012 shooting that left the unarmed 17-year-old Martin dead. ‘April 11 2012 will be forever remembered by the Zimmerman family as the day the justice system failed us as Americans, and as a consequence an innocent man was arrested for a crime he did not commit, solely to placate the masses,’ she said. She later adds: ‘There was absolutely no justifiable reason my son should have been charged for a crime he didn’t commit and there was no just reason he should find himself incarcerated either.’ Zimmerman’s family has long said he is a victim of media manipulation and spin. They say the evidence has been clear all along that Zimmerman acted in self defense when he shot Martin once in the chest, killing him during a struggle. Gladys Zimmerman, who worked nearly three decades as a court clerk in Virginia, has never appeared publicly to speak about her son. She told News 13 in Orlando in a phone interview that she still has faith in the justice system, despite the charges against her son. Still, she warned that her son must be judged by an impartial jury. ‘It is imperative now more than ever that George receive fair treatment by the judicial system, as this is the quintessential birthright of every American,’ she wrote. She blamed news media for spinning the story about the Martin shooting and convincing the public that her son was a murderer. ‘The media, with the help of social media made it their prerogative to judge and sentence George before and after his arrest,’ she wrote. Trayvon was unarmed and Zimmerman didn’t want to fight a fair one after chasing him around the neighborhood. What lies is this woman even talking about? AP

Report: Adele To Sing Skyfall’s 007 Theme Song

Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 reports that U.K. mega-singer Adele will sing the title theme song to the next James Bond joint, Skyfall — though, grain of salt: He’s confirming his own scoop here, and the phrase “I think I can confirm for you what I said some months ago” doesn’t inspire total confidence. But it’s Friday, and a girl can dream! And Friedman’s got it right when he argues that “Adele’s sound is the quintessential James Bond sound.” Also, those other recent 007 themes did roundly suck. Bring on Agent Adele! [ Showbiz 411 ]

The Bachelorette Recap: Emily’s a Straight Shooter

Following the London fireworks that saw Kalon McMahon booted off the show a week ago, The Bachelorette and her eight remaining men hit Croatia tonight. Which log-throwing, kilt-wearing competitor dominated the manly competition? Who won over Emily with persistence in the face of defeat and earned a rose? Elsewhere, who surprisingly got the chop on tonight’s one-on-one date(s), and what surprising bombshell was dropped in the previews for next week? Follow this link for a rundown of The Bachelorette spoilers we know so far, including the (alleged) final three. Then read on for THG’s official +/- recap! Emily’s having a good hair day. Plus 9 . No Ricki this week? :’-( Minus 18 . Annnnd the first one-on-one date goes to … Travis the Egg Guy. A little anticlimactic for fans of Sean Lowe. Or Jef Holm. Or Arie Luyendyk, Jr. Minus 7 . Put Dubrovnik, Croatia on your travel bucket list BTW. Plus 14 . #BalancingStoneFail. Minus 4 . “This is a 10 on a scale of 8,” he calls their date. Who says that? First of all, scale of eight? Second of all, why not an 11 or 12 out of eight then? Minus 2 . Emily is looking for a guy with a bit of an edge … according to Ryan, who’s apparently wearing a Lulu Lemon yoga halter-top wife-beater thing. Minus 30 . Travis’ dinner seems to be going pretty well at least. Plus 6 . Ryan scores the next one-on-one date. His heart is beating out of his women’s tank top, man. Prepare for the douchepocalypse, America. Plus 10 . Emily sends Travis home after not feeling any sort of romantic connection! Plus 5 , ’cause we feel bad for the guy, but it was definitely the right call. That umbrella Travis flung – like his heart and like his precious egg – may be broken beyond repair. Plus 5 . And then there were seven … Sometimes a girl just wants to see a movie … in the name of shameless product placement courtesy of ABC and Disney-Pixar’s Brave . Minus 25 . Eye-rolling plugs aside, the movie does look pretty cute at least. Plus 7 . The guys in kilts and muscle shirts? Ditto! Plus 3 . Plus 12 for Emily’s archery skills. Minus 12 for Chris’ effort … at grammar, because we think he just said he’s “shotten an arrow only once in his whole life.” You’re shotten me Chris. Sean Lowe is so ripped, he broke the log in the competition. Plus 9 . Chris wins the Bravery Cup despite being humiliated in every event. He was a good sport and gave it his best … can you tell Emily’s a mom? Plus 11 . Emily and Sean FTW? Can we start calling them Seamily? Plus 5 . Arie’s “freaking out,” but it doesn’t appear he’s relinquished co-frontrunner status. Definitely not after that street makeout sesh. Plus 5 . Ryan has to be acting, right? There are a-holes in the world, sure … but one can be that full of himself in such comedic fashion. He’s like a caricature of your quintessential narcissistic ass clown. Well played Ryan and ABC. Plus 10 . Jef? Definite dark horse still. Plus 4 . He and Chris, who gets the rose, are angling for the final two hometown date spots at this point, with Arie and Sean the favorites. Doug and Ryan are fading fast (for very different reasons). Wolf … is still on the show we think. Emily Maynard really sparkles. Literally. Plus 6 . Ryan actually shaves that ugly patch out of his facial hair … and apparently his legs. Arie is visibly uncomfortable listening to him talk at this point. Plus 2 . Not as uncomfortable as Emily eating an oyster, but close. Minus 11 . Or when Ryan says openly that he wants her to be his trophy wife. Minus 21 . “I see in you some things I’ve always looked for.” – Ryan. Read: booty shorts. Plus 7 . When Emily’s not happy, she makes this this half-smile, half-glaring crinkle face. Case in point: Ryan reading off his ideal woman checklist. Minus 15 . Crinkle Face turns the checklist around on him, says her criteria are different, then gives him the boot! Plus 20 for Emily being on a roll tonight. “That is very shocking.” – Ryan. To you, maybe. No one else. Minus 18 . No way she’s going to go back on it, is she? Noooo, come on, don’t go back on it! OMG she’s going back on it. Okay phew, she didn’t. Plus 17 . Ryan opines that the guys must be shocked and laments that he’ll miss them. Back at the hotel, they are HUGGING and celebrating. Plus 33 . Did he just ask to be edited well by the producers? Might be wishful thinking, Ryan, after some of your comments, actions and “fashion.” Minus 20 . Eff the next Bachelor, … but please, ABC, add Ryan to the Bachelor Pad 3 cast! Plus 10 . If Ryan did get the rose, would the guys have staged an intervention, Kalon style? Would it have been warranted? Yes, yes and Plus 5 for that imagery. Arie just wants to hold her and hug her and do a lot of other things he can’t say in a confessional, oh, and she’s a great judge of character. Plus 6 . He gets a rose. We get a bit too much makeout audio. Minus 4 . Arie and Emily in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie? Plus 50 . Wolf pulls out his grandparents’ funeral cards and it’s … sweet? Poignant? Weird? Out of place? Over the top? All of the above? Eh, Plus 1 . Both Wolf and Doug are hangin’ tough in the hunt for that last rose, though the latter seems reluctant to make a move on Em. Tick tock. Minus 7 . The man tears are moving down his face in a hurry, though. Plus 3 . The final rose tonight comes down to the two of them, and then … Unsure of what do to, Emily runs to seek the sage advice of … venerable and handsome Bachelorette host-pimp Chris Harrison!! Plus 100 . “Emily … the extra rose you asked for.” Chris. SO lame. Minus 40 . Saying goodbye tonight: Travis (cut loose on one-on-one date) Ryan (canned on one-on-one date) Still alive: Sean, Jef, Arie, John “Wolf”, Chris and Doug. EPISODE TOTAL: +143. SEASON TOTAL: +142. Weird preview for next week, in which Arie’s relationship with a producer on the show is exposed and Emily makes her frustrations known! What do you think? Will he be eliminated?

Dick Clark Remembered: ‘And The Show Will Go On’

An MTV VP recalls his first TV job working for the late pop-culture icon. By Jonathan Mussman Dick Clark in 1988 Photo: Getty Images Jonathan Mussman, vice president of production at MTV News and Docs, got his start in television working for Dick Clark Productions. Below, he recounts what it was like working for the pop-culture legend, who died at age 82 on Wednesday (April 18). You may know Dick Clark just as the man who counted down the few seconds to the New Year, however he was truly an icon across TV, radio and music. Dick Clark was also a mentor for me personally, as he gave me my first job in television out here in Los Angeles many years ago. Known for his continued youthful appearance, the “world’s oldest teenager” was the quintessential on-air personality. In my year-plus working for him and on his shows, such as “Super Bloopers & Practical Jokes,” American Music Awards, “The Challengers,” Golden Globe Awards, Daytime Emmy Awards and numerous pilots for the broadcast channels, I developed important producing skills that I still use in my TV job today here at MTV. Dick was passionate, dedicated and creative and one of the nicest bosses I’ve ever had. Without question, working at Dick Clark Productions in one month equaled the experience you would get over years at other companies. You kept busy while working on many amazing projects. Photos: The life and career of Dick Clark Some personal memories include the days that he and his wife, Kari, would bring their dogs to the office in Burbank — you’d always hear shouts from stolen food off people’s desks during lunch hour as the dogs made their daily rounds. I also remember one American Music Awards where Vanilla Ice was hosting and stormed off in some tirade during a rehearsal the night before the live show. Dick taught us all how to remain cool and collected while dealing with overinflated celeb egos as he responded to the production team without missing a beat: “And the show will go on.” He was an award-winning pioneer in introducing and promoting new artists, new sounds and new music to millions of listeners and viewers through his career on local radio stations and the well-known TV series “American Bandstand.” He helped revolutionize TV production as well, blending his skills as an on-air personality and producer. His “Super Bloopers & Practical Jokes” — where he would place celebs in surprising situations — helped pave the way for our very own “Punk’d.” Dick Clark Productions (under new ownership) is still a powerhouse production company producing popular hits including “So You Think You Can Dance.” I look back fondly on my years at DCP and will always cherish the memories I had learning the business under his direction. You will be missed, Dick Clark — a man who created such a TV and music legacy. Share your condolences for Clark’s family, friends and fans in the comments below.
