Are they misunderstood, grieving grandparents? Gold-digging weirdos? It’s unclear to say the least. Perhaps Dr. Phil can figure out George and Cindy Anthony. The September 12 season premiere of the Dr. Phil Show will find Phil sitting across from the parents of America’s most hated individual, Casey Anthony. The Anthonys will discuss their daughter’s trial, during which they both testified, what their lives are like now, and finally the million-dollar question: Did Casey kill Caylee Anthony? Here’s Phil’s promo: Dr. Phil Interview Promo Casey Anthony trial: Did the jury get it right?
The 911 call placed after the shocking August 15 discovery of lifeless Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Russell Armstrong has been released. Be forewarned, it is upsetting. Russell Armstrong’s suicide came weeks before the return of the Bravo show (it’s still set for Sept. 5). Here’s what happened when he was found: Russell Armstrong 911 Call Moments after the body of Armstrong at a friend’s home where he was staying, you can hear the caller say, in no uncertain terms, “My friend just hanged himself, do you understand? Come over here and stop asking questions.” Russell’s estranged wife Taylor Armstrong was also there, with the friend consoling her, saying “Come here Taylor, it’s alright, it’s alright.” The 911 dispatcher asked about the status, at which point Russell’s friend made it clear Armstrong was deceased. “No, there’s nothing you can do,” he said. “There’s nothing we can do. Just please come as soon as possible.” The RHOBH will air a special episode dedicated to the incident.
Hey, Lady Gaga is just calling it like she sees it. Or at least like Jo Calderone, her male alter ego who performed at the MTV VMAs last night, sees it. Jo put on quite the show on stage, but also in the press room, where he weighed in with some, um, interesting remarks about Britney Spears. Asked if he would hook up with Britney, Calderone said this … “Well, maybe if she wants to, you know what I’m saying … She is f–king hot. Britney’s f–king hot. I don’t know. Gaga is my girl, but Britney’s f–king hot – this is f–king Britney Spears! Didn’t you jerk off to Britney when you were a kid?” Okay then. As for who the heck Jo Calderone – an anagram of “Alejandro” – thinks he is and where he came from, the drag version of Gaga had this to say: “I am from Jersey,” he said. “My family is from Palermo, Sicily. I’m not a singer or a model or an actor or anything. I’m just some guy.” But don’t call him a “guido.” He wasn’t happy when someone did. Perhaps he’s not a fan of Jersey Shore , where that’s a compliment? “I’m not a f–king guido!” Jo snarled. “What? You don’t like Italians? What the f–k is the matter with you? I am just a guy, you know.” “I just wanted to show my girl how much I love her. That’s all.” Jo said that Lady Gaga asked him to represent her at the VMAs. The 25-year-old Born This Way singer tweeted this morning, “To win 2VMAs, Best Video with a Message + Best Female Video for Born This Way means the world. I have never believed in a work so much.” We think it was Gaga. Apparently you never can tell. [Photo: WENN.com]
The King of Pop celebrated a posthumous birthday today . The Queen of Pathetic Publicity Stunts, meanwhile, also turned another year older. No, not Kim Kardashian . Courtney Stodden is now 17, an age where it’s appropriate to tell everyone about the lingerie your 51-year old husband reportedly bought for you. The aspiring singer said of the underwear to Radar Online: “I’m so happy. This is the best birthday ever. 17 is going to be even better than 16 because I’m going to spend the whole year with my wonderful husband!” And how did Stodden celebrate her final evening as a 16-year old? With the following Tweets, which we are seriously NOT making up: While I lie beneath this sizzling-sun, the popsicle that I am sweetly sucking on begins to melt & drips irresistibly all over my moist body! Celebrating the last night of being sweet-n-sexy 16 by wearing NOTHING but my tasty bday-suit! Mmm; Yummy! 😉 Seriously, Doug Hutchison , there’s something else you could have given your wife for her birthday: a shred of dignity.

Seemingly, it would be very difficult to move on from Derek Jeter. But has Minka Kelly already done so? It was announced this week that the shortstop and the actress have ended their three-year relationship and, already, rumors are surfacing that Kelly has cozied up to a co-star. “We have seen Minka and Ramon talking in his trailer way after hours, and often late into the night,” a source tells People of Kelly and Charlie’s Angels actor Ramon Rodriguez “They have been together long after they need to be for the show.” Charlie’s Angels Promo Rodriguez portrays John Bosley on the upcoming ABC remake of this classic series. He’s the only man in the cast, which is why another insider says there’s nothing at all to his interactions with Kelly: “They’re just friends. Ramon is basically the only guy on set, so of course they all hang out with him.” Jeter, however, may be feeling the affects of this split. He went 1-4 with a strikeout last night in the Orioles 12-5 mauling of the Yankees.
