I don't think I can call Tori Spelling "Tori the Hutt" anymore since lost a lot of chunk. Now she kind of looks like an elderly praying mantis doing a terrible Carol Channing impersonation. She's still fug, though. Fug light!

When the new 90210 was announced, I was seriously all about it. Mostly because Brenda Walsh was one of the first bitches in my life who taught me how to really hate with all your heart and soul. After watching every episode, I just don't know.... I'm trying soooo hard to love it like the old shit, but the only time I'm not pitching my berries to stay awake is when Brenda and Kelly are in a scene together. I get off on that shit because I know how much they fucking hate each other in real life. Shannen just wants to take Jennie's hair, braid it into pigtails, kick her on all fours and ride her into traffic. I can see the look in her eyes. But Brenda's run is coming to an end. And what's even worse is that the producers want to bring Donna Martin back. AHHH!

Michael Ausiello claims Tori is in final talks to do several episodes. The deal will probably be complete today. Tori reportedly didn't want to come back sooner, because she was afraid of working with Shannen. That's right. Shannen would fuck that bitch up for talking shit on her in Tori's book. Although, that might be a good thing for Tori since Shannen could probably beat some pretty into her fug face.

If Donna Martin comes back and Brenda Walsh stays away, I just don't know how much longer I can watch this mess. That annoying bitch Annie is just begging to get slapped in the teeth.

Speed the Plow was one week from breaking even when it's biggest draw, Jeremy Piven, resigned due to 'mercury poisoning' last month.

Understandably, show investors are pissed about the fishy excuse and are calling for Pivert's head!

A source disclosed that backers are hoping to "squeeze some money out of him," since he destroyed "our chances of making a profit."

Well, it looks like the producers have some legal recourse!

A report says under the Actors' Equity contract, the producers are entitled to have Pivert's medical records examined by another doctor.

And, if they suspect fraud, they can sue him.

The show's lead producer has admitted that another doctor has already examined the Piv, but would not disclose the results.

"They are confidential," he said. But, added, "We're in the process of discussing what our next step will be."

We wouldn't be surprised if the Piv ingested a load of mercury before the 'other' doctor saw him to save his ass!

Yesterday a close associate of Lindsay's spoke exclusively to an X17 photographer and revealed that Lindsay is "severely depressed right now," and this is "the second day in a row she's been secluded." We can only imagine that this...

Drew Barrymore showed off her super blonde hair and gave a peace sign on her way out of an office in LA yesterday. This weekend she'll take a break from her own work to honor her friends in the entertainment industry at the Golden Globes. She's set to present an award, so be sure to fill out your ballot to win an Apple TV before it's time to sit back and watch Drew and all the stars on Sunday night. Award season doesn't wait until Sunday, however, so be sure to check back tonight as we cover the People's Choice Awards and tomorrow for the Critics Choice Awards!

As shocked as we were by The Spirit being shut out of the Razzies, we're a little more surprised to see two of Hollywood's most high-profile writers snubbed in today's WGA nominations.

Those would be Charlie Kaufman, who made his writer/director debut on the criminally underrated Synecdoche, New York, and Jenny Lumet, whose Rachel Getting Married press tour made her this year's most-publicized young screenwriter outside of Dustin Lance Black. Black was nommed for Milk, and Woody Allen and Robert Siegel got some fairly unimpeachable nods for their respective efforts, but the Coen brothers for Burn After Reading? Really? And don't make us talk to you about The Visitor again, lest we be forced to bash a djembe into our skulls.

Having a Big Derriere May Be Good for Your Health, Study Finds

Women can stop worrying about pear-shaped figures — fat bottoms have been scientifically proven to be a sign of good health.

New research, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, suggests the fat responsible for producing the pear shape flaunted by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce may be active in protecting women from diseases by releasing certain hormones.

Buttock and hip fat may protect women against type 2 diabetes, researchers from Harvard Medical School found.

When buttocks and hip fat from mice was injected into other mice, their bodies easily used the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin and lost weight.

They were also able to make better use of insulin, the main hormone linked to diabetes.

People with the apple shape, where fat is stored around the tummy, can be more prone to type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Those with pear-shaped bodies, where fat is collected in the buttocks, are less likely to have these disorders.

Researcher Dr. Ronald Kahn insisted that not all fat was bad for health.

"The surprising thing was that it wasn't where the fat was located, it was the kind of fat that was the most important variable," he said.

"Even more surprising, it wasn't that abdominal fat was exerting negative effects, but that subcutaneous fat was producing a good effect.

I think it's an important result because not only does it say that not all fat is bad, but I think it points to a special aspect of fat where we need to do more research."

Scientists also monitored the health of the mice given the fat transplants. When it was inserted into the tummy area, the mice lost weight and their fat cells shrank. The researchers will now try to identify the hormones.
