Ashton Kutcher’s ‘Two and a Half Men’ Debut Sets Viewer Record – Even Charlie Watched!

Season 9 premiere of the hit CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men, now starring Ashton Kutcher and his debut as Walden Schmidt, brought in a record number of viewers!

A staggering 27.7 million viewers turned in to see how Charlie Harper, Charlie Sheen‘s character would die off and how Walden would appear.

And guess what? The ratings numbers almost doubled those of last year’s premiere, and were the highest in the show’s history.

The previous show record was for the May 2005 season finale which was 3.6 million less viewers.

Even Charlie was watching! And he threw a party while doing so. This is what he giddily Tweeted:

“Watching my funeral as my party gets rolling! Thank you @bucadibeppo for the great food!! Loving this night! …”

VIDEO: Rob Kardashian Cleaned Up Like A Debonair For DWTS



Dancing With The Stars season 13 was back in full swing for its premiere September 19, 2011.Reality TV star Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke danced the Viennese Waltz as sisters Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney and bro in law Lamar Odom watched on. Kris and Bruce Jenner were also there. Rob said he is doing DWTS because he wants to come out from under his famous sisters’ shadow. He was a bit stiff on the dance floor, but his adorable factor made up for it. I look forward to his next routine.

Bruno said Rob looked petrified and he needs to relax.  He also said he felt no musicality at all and needs to take control. Of course Khloe yelled something about wax between Bruno’s ears and that she felt the music. Score: 5
Carrie Ann said she saw potential when watching him dance and called him debonair– “You clean up nice”.  Score: 6
Len said he’s not impressed, but he’s not depressed either by the performance. He said Rob was too careful and thinking about all the instructions. He told him instead of worrying if he’s good or not, “Go out fighting, but just come out and dance!”  Score: 5
Total score: 6+5+5 = Total: 16/30

Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy Were Connected Like Glue On DWTS

Dancing With The Stars season 13 was back in full swing for its premiere September 19, 2011. Olympic gold medalist and World Cup star Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced the Viennese Waltz to The Dave Matthews Band Satellite. She looked beautiful in her pink ballroom gown but to me, she lacked fluidity and seemed a bit too stiff. The judges disagreed!
Bruno said she has a bright future in front of her because she had great attack and musicality. She just needs more control in her lines. Score: 7
Carrie Ann said that the body contact and the hold were impressive and they were connected like glue. She said be aware of muscling. She liked her lines and called them gorgeous. Score: 7
Len said she had good hold and good posture, but she has to get more fluidity and femininity in her movement. Score: 7
Total score: 7+7+7 = Total: 21/30

VIDEO: Chaz Bono Pleasantly Surprises On DWTS


Dancing With The Stars season 13 was back in full swing for its premiere September 19, 2011. Dancing last were much anticipated author and activist Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer, doing the Cha Cha Cha. I’ll admit, I had my reservations about Chaz being on this show, however, he quickly won me over with his charm and childlike qualities. I mean, how can I not root for a self-proclaimed overweight 40+ year old trying to learn how to dance? 

Carrie Ann said people had been waiting all night to watch Chaz dance and he did not disappoint. She said he had so much joy and lit up the room. Score: 6
Len called him razzmatazz Chaz and said he enjoyed himself and had good footwork and great attitude. Score: 5
Bruno called him cheeky but so cuddly and cute. He said Chaz was joyous and it was a great debut and Chaz should be proud. Score: 6
Total scores: 6+5+6 = 17/30

Watch Chaz and Lacey perform:

Bethenny Frankel Rescued At Sea

Bethenny Frankel was involved in a sailing trip gone horribly wrong over the weekend.

The reality TV darling and husband Jason Hoppy took a sailboat from Block Island to Nantucket Saturday for an 8-hour tour but the boat’s GPS malfunctioned and the boat went off course for 20 hours.
Frankel explains: “The captain had to call the Coast Guard and we were hit by a big wave. It was very scary. It was traumatic. Absolutely traumatic.”

“It was so scary. I was thinking, Oh, my God, Bryn! I’m not going to be there at six o’clock in the morning when she wakes up and she’s going to wonder where Mommy is and gosh, if something were to happen to me, what would happen to her. I was having horrendous thoughts.”

Glad everyone on boat is safe. Frankel said, whose new E! True Hollywood Story premieres on Wednesday at 10 p.m.

British Actress Kelly Brook Wears Nude Snakeskin To Fight For Reptile Rights

British model and actor Kelly Brook is protesting against the skinning of reptiles. And I like how she’ going about doing it.

Kelly, often voted one of the sexiest women in the world, has gone nude in a snake-skin painted body and asks us, “Whose skin are you in?” The PETA ad poses the question and says, “Animals belong in the wild, not in your wardrobe.”

Kelly said at the unveiling of the ad outside the London Transport Museum: “It makes my skin crawl to think about the violent ways snakes, lizards, alligators and other exotic creatures are raised and killed for boots, bags and belts. Our message is to support the designers who are creative without being destructive, and go for the great fakes that pay tribute to the animals’ beauty without killing them.”

Charlie Sheen Apologizes To Cast Of ‘Two & A Half Men’ At Emmys

Charlie Sheen did the classy thing. On Sunday night’s Emmy Awards broadcast, he apologized to the cast and crew of Two and a Half Men during his Emmy presenter speech.

“Before I present Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, my old category, I want to take a few moments to get something off my chest and say a few words to everybody here from ‘Two and a Half Men.’ From the bottom of my heart, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season. We spent eight wonderful years together and I know you will continue to make great television.”
Well said Charlie! Well said.
