The Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao Fight of the Century fell flat in multiple ways on Saturday night. First, it was boring, as Mayweather dominated Pacquiao en route to a unanimous decision. Secondly, despite the best efforts of Jimmy Kimmel, it didn’t lead to a great deal of mockery aimed at Justin Bieber. Allow us to explain… To the consternation of many, Kimmel ended up in Pacquiao’s entourage prior to the bout, actually walking with the boxer to the ring. Aside from being confused over Kimmel’s presence, observers were taken aback by his outfit, which included a bowler hat, gold chains and a black jacket. What was Kimmel thinking? “I was going for the Justin Bieber look, but everyone seemed to think it was Run-DMC,” Kimmel told Ryan Seacrest on the radio this morning. “I failed in that respect.” Bieber is a well-known good pal of Mayweather’s, as he went so far as to curse publicly curse off Pacquiao in front of many onlookers in Vegas over the weekend. Kimmel, meanwhile, asked Pacquiao if he could walk out with him last week… but never thought the request would actually be fulfilled. “I thought for sure that by the time I got there, somebody would have wised up and said, ‘We don’t need him walking in …’ Kimmel told Seacrest. “But no one did and I found myself in the ring, which was crazy.” Know what would be even crazier, though? If the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was fixed , as alleged by Manny’s aunt! View Slideshow: 40 Jimmy Kimmel Live Moments That Crack Our Funny Bone
Last week, the celebrity gossip world was buzzing with rumors that Brandi Glanville would be fired from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Now, Brandi is claiming that those reports are bogus, but she admits fans shouldn’t be surprised if she parts ways with the show that made her famous in the very near future. “Unfortunately I’m not making enough money to quit. My endgame is I would love to have a daytime talk show, where I interview real people about real issues, especially about relationship issues,” Brandi said in a recent podcast interview. “Remember Jenny Jones? I love her! I want like a Jerry Springer, but for like girls.” Yes, because if Jerry Springer is known for anything, it’s his ability to tackle the “real issues.” It’s rare for a Real Housewife to gripe about money issues, but Brandi has been open about her financial struggles in the past. Last year, Brandi publicly complained about the paltry amount of Eddie Cibrian’s child support payments and she now says the only thing keeping her in the reality TV game is her lack of cash. In the same interview, Brandi threw some serious shade at her fellow Housewives, singling out Lisa Rinna in particular: “She is crazy,” Brandi says when asked about Lisa. “There are some skeletons in that one’s closet. I cannot wait until they come out! “On this show, if you are hiding anything, it all comes out eventually. And there are some secrets up in that household – I’m just telling you.” Now that’s something to look forward to! We’ve already seen Lisa’s crazy side once and it was one of last season’s RHOBH highlights. Is Brandi referring to the Harry Hamlin cheating rumors? If so, she might be the next target of Lisa’s wrath. We can’t wait! View Slideshow: Brandi Glanville Photos: Through the Years

Bill Rancic thinks everyone has to calm the eff down. In a manner of speaking, that is. Rancic appeared on The Today Show this morning and stood staunchly up for Giuliana Rancic, who got into boiling hot water a couple months ago after making a joke about Zenday’s outfit at the Academy Awards. Bill Rancic Stands up for Giuliana Rancic Rancic criticized the young star’s look at the event by saying it appeared as if the 18-year old “smells like patchouli oil… or maybe weed.” The backlash came quickly and strongly against Giuliana, who apologized on multiple occasions for what many deemed to be a racist remark. Bill Rancic, however, doesn’t think his wife owes anyone any kind of mea culpa. “Her intent was to make a hippie joke,” he said today. “We knew that she didn’t do anything wrong.” In Giuliana’s defense, he’s most likely right. Moreover, Giuliana said it on E!’s Fashion Police, which is a program that encourages panelists to say mean things about celebrities. Bill said during Monday’s interview that had Joan Rivers still been hosting/alive, the reaction would have been different. “If Joan was around, God, she never would have allowed that to happen,” he said, adding that the criticism was a challenge for the couple to take. “It was hard, because as a husband we are the defender, we want to protect our family, and I just kind of had to be muzzled…I wanted to get out there, and I wanted to defend my wife.” It’s hard to blame the guy for doing so, wouldn’t you say? The future of Fashion Police is in doubt, meanwhile, but Rancic says she’ll remain a part of it . View Slideshow: 2015 Oscars Fashion: Who Looked Best?
Actress Grace Lee Whitney has passed away at the age of 85. Whitney was best known for her portrayal of Yeoman Janice Rand on the original Star Trek TV series. Despite being dropped from the show after just eight episodes, Whitney reprised her role in five Star Trek theatrical films and even had a cameo appearance on the Star Trek: Voyager spinoff series in 1996. In addition to her acting work, Whitney was an accomplished singer, dancer and author. She released a popular memoir entitled The Longest Trek: My Tour of the Galaxy in 1998. Though she sang with some of the world’s most famous orchestras, and her film credits include such classics as Some Like It Hot, Whitney maintained that her greatest triumph was conquering addiction. A recovering alcoholic who spent the last 35 years of her life helping others who struggled with substance abuse, Whitney stated in several interviews that she would rather be known as a survivor of addiction than as an actress on Star Trek. Earlier this year, Whitney spoke publicly about the death of Leonard Nimoy , calling her famous co-star “a great friend” whom she credited with helping her to overcome her alcoholism.
