View host and former Survivor contestant Hasselbeck announces pregnancy
NEW YORK (AP) — The View audience received a surprise Thursday: co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck announced her pregnancy.
The former Survivor: The Australian Outback contestant and The View co-host revealed the news during the ABC daytime chat fest’s Hot Topics segment.
“I’m nauseous,” said Hasselbeck, “but I’m fine with that because it’s all for a good cause.”
At the beginning of the show, a big surprise was promised that would “change the ladies of The View forever.”
Co-hosts Star Jones, Joy Behar, Meredith Vieira and Hasselbeck appeared on the stage with big fake bellies and snack food in hand in front of a cheering audience.
“They’re all freaking out,” Jones whispered to Hasselbeck.
Barbara Walters asked the audience to guess which co-host was pregnant.
“Barbara!” a person in the crowd screamed.
Hasselbeck told the co-hosts and audience she was 13 1/2 weeks pregnant, due sometime around the end of March or beginning of April next year.
She also said she and her husband, Tim Hasselbeck, a quarterback for the Washington Redskins, didn’t want to know the sex of the child. (Ever!)

This one's all about the headline:

Vancouver actor enjoyed work with Jo from Facts of Life
VANCOUVER (CP) — Vancouver actor Andrew Jackson is putting the finishing touches on the drama-disaster flick Overload, which he filmed in Winnipeg this summer with 1980s child star Nancy McKeon.
Jackson had numerous scenes with McKeon, who played tomboy Jo Polniaczek in the comedy series Facts of Life.
“She’s lovely,” Jackson said. “I really enjoyed working with her.”
The miniseries, due to air in November, also stars Randy Quaid, Thomas Gibson of Dharma and Greg fame, Brian Dennehy and Oscar-winner Dianne Wiest.
The yarn revolves around a potentially disastrous weather system that hits Chicago.
While details on the plot line are scant, Overload involves a hurricane, a conspiracy to control energy resources and a heist.
Jackson plays a “hard-nosed news editor” while McKeon is cast as reporter.
“She’s fighting the system,” he said of McKeon’s character. “She wants the general public to have access to the truth.”
Several scenes were shot in the CBC’s television newsroom in Winnipeg.
Jackson said the Manitoba capital was an ideal place to shoot.
“Winnipeg’s a really good setting because of the old buildings,” he said.
“There’s these wonderfully restored buildings there so it’s really easy to pretend to be Chicago and with all the flat land, it could easily be Oklahoma.”

I am biting my tongue to keep from saying something deeply mean and ugly about Star Jones.

Olsen twins promote McDonald's Happy Meals abroad
The Olsen twins' latest endorsement deal may leave a bad taste in your mouth. The Associated Press reports Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are promoting McDonald's Happy Meals in France, where the fast-food goliath has more than 1,000 outlets. A spokeswoman for McDonald's French division told the AP yesterday the Olsen Happy Meal campaign began Sept. 8. The meals come with the choice of a denim bag, a crayon box or a photo album, which bears the 18-year-old twins' photo. The promotion comes just two months after the Milk Processor Education Program pulled its "Got milk?" ads featuring the twins sporting trademark milk moustaches out of sensitivity to Mary-Kate, who was released from a treatment facility in July for an eating disorder. At the time the milk campaign was announced, Mary-Kate said in a statement, "We wanted to appear in this ad because we love the campaign and we want to help make sure our fans are healthy like us."

I posted this to ILM too, where someone revealed the expletive deleted to be "box."

Avril Lavigne is prepared to get tough when needed: Maxim interview
TORONTO (CP) — Avril Lavigne says she loves beer and getting drunk.
“I just want to get wasted, dance and hang out,” she told Maxim magazine, listing her favourite drink as a double shot of Grey Goose vodka on the
rocks.
“I’m growing up, I’m changing, I’m becoming a woman,” she said.
The 19-year-old singer, who grew up in Napanee, Ont., added she won’t stand for bad behaviour and is prepared to get tough if she needs to.
She told the magazine her last fight was with another woman who confronted her in a bar about her music.
“Some chick came up to me and got in my face and said something, so I kicked her in the (crotch) and shoved her,” she said.

In the October issue of Playboy, Donald Trump says, "My name is in more black songs than any other name in hip-hop.... That's a great honor for me."

True, Trump's name gets dropped like a hockey puck in tons of songs -- but I wonder if Big D has actually heard any of them.

For example, there's Nelly's mega-hit "Country Grammar":

"Bill Gates, Donald Trump let me in now

Spin now, I got money to lend my friends now

We in now, candy Benz, Kenwood and 10's now

I win now (Whoo!) F------lesbian twins now ... "

And then there's "Trump Change" by E-40:

"Trump change? Chump change

Nah Trump change patnah, not chump change

Trump change, I'm talkin' Donald Trump change ...

Lucrative loot, long money, big bread

Step on my boots, next day, he was dead

S--- you not, all I gotta do is cough

To have your m------------ head knocked off ..."

And the lovely "Incarcerated Scarfaces" by Raekwon:

"I probably wax, tax, smack, rap niggaz who fax

Niggas lyrics is wack nigga ...

You rollin' like Trump, you get your meat lumped ..."

Trump's name also appears in the timeless classic "Money is My Bitch," among other tunes.

Gee, who wouldn't be proud?

Dan, did I ever still you about the time I was in the studio audience for Jones and Jury as part of a radio station fundraising deal?

Nelly was on the cover of Men's Health magazine. Next to his picture is a quote from him: "A great body is a gift to yourself."

God, Overload SO sounds like a Lifetime "disaster chick flick" production. "Oh no, something catastrophic is going to happen but no one will listen to me because they think I'm just an overreacting GIRL and there's this guy who's working closely with me and no, there's no romantic tension at all until this situation becomes calm again and BY GOD it will because people will start listening to me but only until it's almost too late and gee the males I'm surrounded with are either old guys who are stereotypically macho and gruff or himbos with permanent dense expressions on their faces and no, I'm not going to get myself into any trouble even though I'm so obviously snooping around where I shouldn't be that I end up looking way more naive than I'm realistically supposed to be and look, there's Brian Dennehy!" Unless the heist threatens to make this miniseries different.

Um, thanks Mary-Kate.

I can spot three scary things in that article.
