Barbara Walters 'Disappointed' Over Lindsay Lohan Interview Cancellation

Barbara Walters had a little shock on Monday when she found out that Lindsay Lohan is set to sit down for an interview with Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" next week - especially because the starlet just canceled one with the veteran journalist.
It was on Friday that news surfaced that the "Liz & Dick" star would no longer be sitting down with Barbara for an interview - a move Deadline reported was due to the actress' new PR team being unhappy with the direction of the piece. Later that same day, NBC released "The Tonight Show" listings, which included an upcoming appearance by Lindsay on November 20.
Barbara said that after putting in a lot of work - including a set visit over the summer to the Lifetime "Liz & Dick" production - she wished she had been let down easier.
"If they'd said to me, 'She isn't up for the kind of questions you might ask'… if they had told me that, I wouldn't feel quite as disappointed as I do today," Barbara said on Monday's "The View."
"I wish Lindsay the best," Barbara continued. "We would have done a wonderful interview. I hope she feels well. As far Jay goes, I love Jay, more power to him."
With Barbara's interview now canceled, on Monday's "The View" she rolled out some of the footage shot over the summer on the Lifetime production. In the clip, Lindsay, dressed as Elizabeth Taylor, addressed the incident where paramedics were called to her hotel room while she was sleeping.
"I think I was just honestly tired. I needed a nap for 15 minutes and then there were seven paramedics in a room so imagine how I felt," Lindsay told Barbara at the time, addressing reports she was found unconscious back in June.
At the time, Lindsay explained the situation on Twitter, writing, "Note to self.. After working 85 hours in 4 days, and being up all night shooting, be very aware that you might pass out from exhaustion & 7 paramedics MIGHT show up @ your door… Hopefully they're cute. Otherwise it would be a real let down."

Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez Split

Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez Split
Beliebers rejoice?
As E! first reported November 9, after nearly two years together, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have gone their separate ways. Multiple sources close to the pair also confirm their split to Us Weekly.

"Selena broke up with Justin about a week ago. It's been a really challenging experience over the last year because of their crazy schedules," one insider tells Us. "Selena definitely had some major trust issues with Justin."
The pair have had their share of problems in the past, although a source close to Bieber cautions that the breakup, which happened on Halloween, might not actually mean the end of "Jelena."
 "They are [young] . . . it changes from day to day. Right now it is a break and tomorrow it could be back on knowing them . . . it's hard to say how they will end up," the source says. "Maybe she feels more serious about it this time. We'll see."
PHOTOS: Justin & Selena--the way they were
Bieber and Gomez first sparked rumors they were an item during a "cuddly" November 2010 IHOP date, though they denied the romance chatter until the following spring.
Speaking to radio station Z100 in March 2011, Gomez opened up about the attacks lobbed her way by diehard Bieber fans, shortly after the pair went public with their relationship.

"It's hard," she admitted of the Internet haters. "It hurts, it really does. I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I've been best friends with him for a very long time. It does hurt my feelings a lot but I try not to focus on it. I have a strong family and great fans."

Rachel Bilson: ‘All men hate harem pants, but I don’t give a s—t’

Rachel Bilson (Danny Feld/The CW)When it comes to fashion, Rachel Bilson and her "Hart of Dixie" character Dr. Zoe Hart have one cardinal rule: Don't pay too much attention to what other people think about your style.

"All men hate harem pants, but I don't give a s—t," she tells omg! from Yahoo!. "They are so comfortable. You get a little room, you know?" And just because guys don't always dig her look doesn't mean she's going to stop wearing one of her favorite wardrobe staples. Similarly, her character Zoe — a New York City surgeon and fashionista who relocated to the small southern enclave of Bluebell, Alabama — still struts down the sidewalk in 6-inch heels despite the disapproving looks from the town's residents. "They just don't get [Zoe's style]," notes the actress.
Though the former "O.C." star, who designs shoes for ShoeMint.com in her spare time, is just as into fashion as her alter ego, she notes that they don't exactly have the same taste. "We have some similarities, where I am like, 'Oh my god, I just bought that!' But, I think [Zoe] is a little bit more professional and a little bit more sophisticated, coming from New York," she shares. "Coming from Los Angeles, I am a way more casual jeans-kinda girl."
(Sara Jaye Weiss/StarTraks)While her character often takes fashion risks, Bilson says some looks should be left at home — like her biggest fashion pet peeve: the crop top! "You can do the high-waist thing now and have a crop top, and that's different. But if you do a low-waist jean and you have a crop top — ehhh — you might want to store that." But like any true purveyor of style, Bilson says you need to be open to anything. "I'm not going to say 'that's hideous' because it is fashion and you kind of just have to be all loving."
So what's her must-have item for fall? "I always go for the perfect pullover sweater in fall — always a crewneck, never a V-neck — because it can really make an outfit. You just throw it on and it is just really cute." She adds that the essential piece looks best in autumn colors, because the "deeper colors are just flattering."
Meanwhile, fans of her hit CW show, which airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, can expect plenty of great outfits this season, and drama in store for our favorite local doc. "We've been having fun this season. Zoe is definitely is in a pickle with two boys [Wade and George]. I think people really respond to love triangles. You have your team that you root for. It is really fun and competitive."



Brooke Burke-Charvet Reveals Thyroid Cancer Diagnosis

"Dancing with the Stars" co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet is staying positive and looking to the future after revealing that she has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer."I need to have thyroid surgery and a thyroidectomy, which means I'm going to have a nice big scar right here across my neck," the 41-year-old said in a video posted on The ModernMom YouTube channel on Thursday.

In July, Brooke told her fans that doctors had found a nodule on her thyroid, but has remained mum on the subject until now.
"I don't get to just walk around and pretend like nothing happened or not follow up or not share it, because it's going to be pretty much dead center. I don't want anybody to read about it and get the wrong idea, or think that I'm sick, because I'm not," she continued in the video. "I got my results back days later and they were atypical, which means that the doctors couldn't confirm whether the nodule was cancerous or benign, So I had to go and do a whole bunch of additional tests and get second opinions. Long story long, I got my results back and they were not good."

The mother of four is now looking ahead and says she will beat the cancer.
"I've booked my surgery," she said. "It's taken me a couple of months to really wrap my head around this... Now I'm good. I'm ready to deal with it, and I'm going to be fine. I feel really, really strong. Doctors say this is a 'good' kind of cancer to have... My doctor did tell me this is a happily ever after ending kind of thing."
After announcing the news, she took to Twitter to express her gratitude for the outpouring of support from her fans.

"I'm feeling the love today from friends, family, #DWTS, tweeties, fans. You warm my heart. I'm feeling good Thank you from down deep xoxo," she Tweeted on Thursday. "I was scared to get on twitter and hear what people are saying.....now I can breathe easy. Thank you for the support."

Lindsay Lohan will be charged with lying to police after highway crash.

The truth will set you free, and in Lindsay Lohan’s case, not telling it could land you in the slammer. It was reported on Tuesday that the “Liz & Dick” actress will be charged with lying to police at the time of her June 8 car crash on the Pacific Coast Highway because she told them she was not the one driving – even though multiple witnesses, including her personal assistant, said she was.
While the charge is a misdemeanor, it could spell jail time for the 26-year-old since she is still on probation for the January 2009 necklace theft, even though her official probation ended earlier this year. It will be up to Judge Stephanie Sautner, who oversaw that case, to decide whether or not Lohan could wind up back in jail. As of press time, the L.A. City Attorney’s Office was aware of the new charge against Lohan, but had yet to make a decision about charging her with a probation violation.
TMZ also reports that police found prescription pills in Lohan’s purse and strewn all over the trunk of her car when she slammed her rented Porsche into the back of an 18-wheeler on the PCH. But she avoided being charged with any drug crimes because they were all properly prescribed to her. At the time, it was also reported that a water bottle filled with alcohol was in Lohan's trunk as well.
