“Do you like it when he’s rough?” With these words, and accompanying visuals, Barbara Walters made Elisabeth Hasselbeck crack up, viewers scratch their heads and Whoopi Goldberg’s “eyes bleed.” The 82-year-old was yammering about sex this morning The View, inspired by the erotic novel series 50 Shades of Grey , in which a 20-something girl starts a relationship with an attractive, wealthy man who’s into bondage and S&M. Suffice to say, it was an awkward: Barbara Walters-Elisabeth Hasselbeck Sex Talk Hasselbeck, a married mother of three, sort of dodged the question by saying she’s on a break right now … but for Whoopi and others, the damage was done.

Breaking news with a hat tip to Kevin Eder for highlighting it for me: David Axelrod, Chief Strategist for President Barack Obama, endorsed Mitt Romney for President on Fox News Sunday this morning.

During a rather delightful press conference this morning announcing the Muppets’ appointment as the city’s official 2o12 “Family Ambassadors” meant to promote tourism (and, perhaps, to light up the e-mail chains at Goldman Sachs ), an otherwise bored-seeming Michael Bloomberg perked up when he saw the opportunity to get a little action. “I’m going to give Miss Piggy a kiss because, uh, we’re old friends,”… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Daily Intelligencer – New York Magazine Discovery Date : 13/04/2012 16:41 Number of articles : 2

With all the hot pictures of Maria Menounos coming out over the last few weeks thanks to Dancing With The Stars , I would have thought that a few upskirt pictures would be right around the corner. I guess not. Being the professional hottie that she is, Maria managed to save herself the embarrassment of flashing the world her lady business. That’s fine for her, but what about the Tuna? I could have used a sneak peek this morning. Thanks for nothing.

‘I went from being a caricature in people’s eyes to becoming someone with a lot of layers,’ Minaj tells Shade 45’s ‘Sway in the Morning.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Nicki Minaj Photo: Slaven Vlasic/ Getty Images There’s more to Nicki Minaj than just a pink wig and her funny voices. Rap’s reigning queen has evolved from a budding New York MC to an omnipresent figure in music and pop culture. She’s come a long way since her 2007 Playtime Is Over mixtape. “I think I went from being a caricature in people’s eyes to becoming someone with a lot of layers,” Nicki told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway when she appeared on his “Sway in the Morning” Shade 45 radio show on Tuesday. Nicki spoke with Sway and co-host Devi Dev about a range of topics — from her over-the-top 2012 Grammy performance to working with Madonna — but Nicki seemed most eager to emphasize that as many strides as she’s made in her career, her superstar qualities were always there on the inside. “You just gotta realize that I’m never gonna be one-dimensional,” she said. “Even my core fans I think, at times, thought I was one-dimensional when I was doing mixtapes. However, even on the mixtapes, I was singing and I did a song called ‘Can Anybody Hear Me’ on one of my mixtapes where I was singing and talking about being a female rapper and trying to get signed.” “Can Anybody Hear Me” appeared on her 2009 tape Beam Me Up Scotty and featured Nicki spitting about her difficulty securing a record deal. Funny when you think about all of the success she’s now obtained. “When it rains, it pours for real/ Def Jam said I’m no Lauryn Hill/ You can’t rap and sing on the same CD/ The public won’t get it, they got A.D.D.,” Nicki rapped back in ’09. Minaj has since broken down those barriers and her latest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, is the ultimate brush-off to naysayers who once told Nicki what she couldn’t do. “It’s just been peeling back the layers and now I think the ultimate layer was me saying, ‘Now I’m gonna do whatever kind of music I want to do and you’re free to not like it,’ ” she said. “This new album, Roman Reloaded, when I tell you I am not nervous, I am not fearful; all of those emotions left.” The Young Money superstar’s second album balances her hard-core rap sensibilities with pop tracks produced by RedOne and Dr Luke. Critics have been lukewarm , but Nicki doesn’t want to choose between the two distinct musical genres; it’s all derived from a feeling, she said. “My story is not gonna always entail a hard hip-hop beat, but sometimes it is,” she explained. “A lot of the tracks on this album are just a hard hip-hop beat and just spittin’ and that’s why I enlisted some people like [Cam’ron] and 2 Chainz and the legendary Nas.” What do you think of Roman Reloaded ?

What a difference a year makes. Nearly 13 months ago to the day – in the midst of a public meltdown that introduced the world to terms such as “Tiger Blood” and the ever-irritating “Winning!” – Charlie Sheen appeared on The Today Show and said he had no regrets over his behavior. “I’m going to live my life the way I want and I’m going to win every moment!” Sheen said at the time . Fast forward to this morning and… … Sheen told Matt Lauer this morning, on the same program, that he finds moments and quotes such as that “a little cringeable to watch because I don’t recognize part of who that guy was.” And who is Charlie Sheen now? Someone who still delivers the occasional rant , but who, through “a team effort, ultimately led by myself,” claims to have found a path back to sanity, one that will culminate this summer on FX’s Anger Management . “I couldn’t have the Two and a Half Men thing be my TV legacy – I couldn’t have it end on that note,” he said, bitter as always toward ex-boss Chuck Lorre.
