ROSIE MIGHT MAKE A COMEBACK TO TV

Our hometown Miami diva Rosie O’Donnell is rumored that she is in negotiations with MSNBC for her own show. Rosie is in talks to have a primetime 9pm slot which puts her in competition with Fox News “Hannity and Colmes" and CNN's "Larry King Live." Currently Rosie does not contain a popular reputation with the public post her few months working on The View.

Since Rosie has been off the View, she has been very busy taking care of her four adopted children. All of them ranging in ages from 6 to 13. Rosie was also spotted with former member of *nsync Lance Bass book signing in South Beach this past weekend.



Only time will tell us whether or not Rosie is able to redeem her reputation by receiving her own television show.

Rosie did have her own television show for a few years, somewhat like Ellen DeGeneres very comical. Then a few years later Rosie was on the View, she no longer was solo and having an entertainment styled show. Having Rosie's opinion on topics come out shocked America but she probably had these views all along but had no reason to discuss them on The Rosie Show.

Fingers crossed to see if Rosie is going to give Larry King a run for his money on ratings.

HOGAN CHARGED WITH DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE

Clearwater Police Department released details pretaining to Nick Hogan's accident on Aug 26. Cops have sited that Nick was drinking the night of the accident.

According to TMZ.com, In addition to Nick being arrested for reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, cops also cited Hogan for use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, a person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher and having an illegal window tint.

In the police report, Hogan was speeding at 60 mph in a 40 mph zone when he spun out and hit a tree.

Attached is a youtube video I found of Nick Hogan racing his car at the track. It's very obvious that he enjoys speeding and driving out of control. On the track, you can see how Nick's car drifts alot because he is going to fast to make the turns. Maybe this whole situation has opened his eyes to reality.

HOGAN PROVIDES COPS WITH DRUG TEST

On Oct. 16th, the Clearwater Police Department released a statement stating that they were waiting on the alcohol and drug test results for Nick Hogan. According to TMZ, in the investigation report it is noted that the roads were very wet and the driver (Hogan) was not using caution.

Below is a link to the official police report released about the accident.

The cops will have an answer on whether or not to press charges for drugs or alcohol being related to the accident by Nov. 1st.

After this accident occurred the Hogan family who new residents to Miami Beach have moved back to Clearwater. The family has not made any public appearance like they typically do nor has Nick been seen driving a car. I am not sure if I were the Hogan family that I could allow my son to ever drive a car again. As you probably remember, Nick Hogan a 17 year old boy got into a car accident that now has his friend on life support for over a month now. I would not know how to live with myself if I knew my friend was in that state because of me. In a few weeks things for the Hogan family can either be better or just get worse. Let's pray that John can get out of his coma and not fall into a worst condition.

AMERICAS SMARTEST MODEL CONTESTANT LIVES IN SOUTH FLORIDA

VH1's hit reality television show America's Smartest Model has a local model Brett Novek from Fort Lauderdale. This model is employeed at my current internship Irene Marie Model Management in South Beach.

Does Brett Novek have what it takes to be the smartest model? Being a college graduate from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Marketing, Brett has an advantage to alot of the models on the show. Since I have met Brett, I am aware that he is very intelligent so let's see if he plays the 'dumb model' for a while.

Below is a picture of myself goofing off at the agency. The comp card being held in the picture is Brett Novek. He was actually at the agency when we were taking these pictures of our favorite models. So he yelled for one of the interns to hold up his card too.



The show is based upon the same theory that all models are stupid. So the show has 7 guys and 7 girls who are on the show proving that not all models are stupid. Each week, the models are given tasks to have them show they have brains and beauty too.

In the end, a model will be coveted the title of "America's Smartest Model" and take home $100,000 VO5 Extreme Style prize.

This is not Brett's best picture because his hair is slicked back. However this picture does show off his abs.

My friend Bradford who works at Redroom told me that Alessandra was wearing a plain white tank top, shorts and her hair was pulled up into a ponytail.

Actors Mickey Rourke, Eva Mendes and Giuseppe Cipriani, the famous NYC millionare were seen dining at Casa Tua Saturday evening and later ventured to the club SET.

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist partied this weekend just like the rest of the celebrities. On Friday, Oct. 12th Crist was spotted having a few drinks at Mango's off of Ocean Drive.

NICK HOGANS FRIEND REMAINS ON LIFE SUPPORT

Nick Hogan has been spotted partying at night in South Beach while the passenger in his car accident remains in critical conditions. The accident occurred Aug 29th and John Graziano, 22, still remains at St. Petersburg Hospital. Graziano was evaluated by a registered nurse who claims that he only has gag reflects and responds to a pinch. Graziano's pupils have no response to light which is a sign of blindness. Graziano's doctor H. Bushnell Clarke reports that "his prognosis remains guarded and that he will most likely spend the remainder of his life in a nursing home." Graziano's condition was also described as living on life support his entire life.

Not only is John Graziano in a coma but his parents are fighting over temporary guardianship. The courts granted his mother Debra Graziano temporary custody of her son John. According to Steven Hearn, an attorney for John's father Edward Graziano, the Hogans are allegely financially supporting the whole situation attempting to avoid a potential lawsuit. Rumor has it that Debra has all expenses paid for her to live in a nearby townouse and all medical bills for John are being taken care of under the care of the Hogans.

Whether or not Nick Hogan was speeding is still under investigation but if convicted he can face up to life in prison for attempted manslauder.

KELLY CLARKSON COMING TO CONCERT

Kelly Clarkson in concert? Wasn't it just this past summer Kelly cancelled her tour due to low ticket sales and her record label pulling her album? Of course that did happen! However, it is all in the past because Kelly Clarkson has made peace with J Records.



According to Ticketmaster.com, Kelly's ticket sales are extremely high for a pop artist to have a fall tour at outdoor amphitheaters. For her album to still remain on the Billboard Top 100 is not surprising for Ms. Clarkson, who has a history of staying on the charts for a while.

Well if you are as excited as I am, Kelly is coming to Mizner Amphitheater in Boca Raton on Nov. 29th. I searched for tickets and there are still some seats close to the stage available.
So before the concert sells out and you miss this beautiful Grammy winner, go buy your tickets!

BRITNEY BREAKS DOWN

As mentioned in my previous blog, I had no idea what it was going to take for Britney to stop partying. On Oct. 1st, when Britney dropped the kids off at her ex husband's house, the courts declared Kevin full custody of the children. In a court order, the judge declared that Britney had to take weekly drug tests, attend parenting classes and was not able to drink alcohol the night before having the children. Also the judge ordered that both Britney and Kevin have valid drivers licenses in the state of California. Britney did not enroll in parenting classes, never took a drug test and had not applied for a California license.

Rumor has it: Britney is on suicide watch and has not returned to her home since the children were taken away from her. Every night she is staying at a new hotel.

Below is a picture of the children with their nanny.
