Are Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin Teaming Up for Some Kind of CNN Show?

ANDERSON COOPER and KATHY GRIFFIN have teamed up to do some amusing New Year's Eve specials over the past few years . . . and now, there's word that they might be working together on a regular show, possibly for CNN.

--Deadline.com says Anderson and Kathy filmed a pilot at the CNN studios yesterday.  All we really know about it is that it's an "hour-long project," with "a lot of humor in it" that "films in front of a live studio audience."

(--Meanwhile, Deadline.com is ALSO reporting that NBC has reached out to Anderson to talk to him about possibly replacing MATT LAUER on the "Today" show.  But at this point, it's just a rumor.)

Here's the Lesson Chris Brown Learned from Beating Up Rihanna: "You Can Lose It All"

CHRIS BROWN says he learned a very important lesson after he beat up RIHANNA four years ago . . . quote, "You can lose it all."

--He adds, quote, "I'm not just saying fame or stardom because that's not what it's about.  I'm talking about dignity [and] integrity.  You know, you lose yourself in a way."

--Chris is NOT blaming his actions on his youth.  He was a few months shy of his 20th birthday when that happened, and he says he was old enough to know better. 

--He says, quote, "I can tell you I was arrogant and definitely hotheaded.  Everybody has a temper, but for me it was not knowing how to control it when I thought I had the world in my hands."

Here's the Scoop on the "Independence Day" Sequels

We heard last year that producer DEAN DEVLIN and director ROLAND EMMERICH were working on a sequel to the 1996 alien invasion classic "Independence Day".

--Well, there are actually going to be TWO sequels . . . "ID Forever Part 1" and "ID Forever Part 2" . . . and Emmerich is giving up a little bit of scoop on the plot.

--The sequels pick up 20 years after the first one, and the alien reinforcements have finally shown up, after responding to a distress call from the ones Bill Pullman, Will Smith, Randy Quaid and Jeff Goldblum whooped in '96.

--As for why it takes so long for them to show up, it's all down to sci-fi mumbo-jumbo.  Emmerich says, quote, "The humans knew that one day the aliens would come back.

--"And they know that the only way you can really travel in space is through wormholes.  So for the aliens, it could take two or three weeks, but for us that's 20 or 25 years."

--As for returning characters, Pullman is coming back.  It's not clear if Will Smith will be back . . . but his character's STEPSON will be one of the heroes of the new sequels, along with some other, younger characters.

--Emmerich also says the first sequel will end with a cliffhanger . . . quote, "The first one ends on a little success, but only enough to give the humans hope.  And then in the second one they free themselves again [from the aliens]."

Jay Leno "Hopes" Jimmy Fallon Replaces Him on "The Tonight Show"

JAY LENO is ALL FOR talking about his relationship with NBC on "The Tonight Show" . . . but apparently, he isn't as enthusiastic about discussing it with the paparazzi.

--When someone from "Extra" asked him if he would continue hosting "The Tonight Show" after his contract was up, Leno evaded it by making fun of how the question was asked.

--Then, when asked if JIMMY FALLON was going to replace him, Leno said, quote, "Well, I hope so!"  And immediately walked away.

--Leno also ignored another question by pretending that he was talking . . . so it seemed like there was problems with the sound.

Sorry . . . There Is No Joe Jonas Sex Tape

If you heard that there was a sex tape kicking around featuring JOE JONAS and his girlfriend using BONDAGE AND S&M GEAR like paddles and ball gags . . . would you believe it?

--Apparently a lot of people did, because the rumor started making the rounds yesterday.  But it's not true.  At least that's Joe's story.

--His rep says, quote, "There is no truth or validity to the story.  It is completely false."

--It probably IS false, because the story is pretty ridiculous.

--A source who SUPPOSEDLY saw the tape says Joe and his girlfriend, Swiss model Blanda Eggenschwiler, made it over a period of several hours, and even had a trusted friend there to do the filming.

--They're also seen smoking pot and downing shots . . . and during the sex there's, quote, "a lot of overly dramatic screaming and moaning."

NBC May Have to Pay Jay Leno a Big Penalty If They Dump Him Early

There's been talk that NBC might dump JAY LENO before his contract is up in September of 2014 . . . so that they can hand JIMMY FALLON the reins sooner rather than later.  Supposedly, it could happen as early as February.

--But TMZ says that's unlikely, because "when Leno renegotiated his contract during the CONAN O'BRIEN mess, he demanded, and got, several penalty clauses that would make NBC take an ENORMOUS financial hit if they pull the plug early."

--There's no word how much that payout would be, but supposedly Leno made sure it was an INSANE amount.  That way, he could essentially guarantee that he wouldn't be replaced early.

Is Jon Hamm's Unrestrained Bulge So Distracting on the Set of "Mad Men" That He's Being Asked to Wear Underwear?

Actor JON HAMM has apparently been causing trouble on the set of his show all because of the bulge in his pants.

--Sources on the set of "Mad Men" say Jon's package has become a DISTRACTION.

--A so-called "insider" tells the "New York Daily News", quote, "This season takes place in the 1960s, where the pants are very tight and leave little to the imagination.  Jon's impressive anatomy is so distracting that they politely insisted on underwear."

--Lindsay's drugs of choice are Adderall and Xanax . . . and we all know how much she loves her vodka.

--The big question is, will she actually get clean this time?  One source says, quote, "The main problem when it comes to Lindsay ever getting sober is her absolute denial that she has any substance abuse issues.

--"Once again, she is only going to rehab purely because it’s a slightly more attractive alternative than going to jail."

MILEY CYRUS is wearing her engagement ring again.  She posted a picture of herself on Twitter yesterday, wearing a onesie with a horse's face on the hood . . . and the ring is clearly visible.

One of Tiger's Former Mistresses Has a Great Take on His New Relationship

One of TIGER WOODS' ex-mistresses has a great take on his new relationship with Olympic skier LINDSEY VONN.  Obviously, it's based on the premise that Tiger can't stay faithful.

--Mattress actress DEVON JAMES says, quote, "You know when the pics came out of Tiger and his new girlfriend . . . somewhere, 15 other girls were going, 'Huh?  I thought I was his girlfriend!'"

Lindsay Lohan Will Spend 90 Days Locked Up in Rehab

LINDSAY LOHAN copped a plea yesterday to charges of reckless driving and lying to police.  And she got a pretty stiff sentence for a change.

--She'll also do 30 days of community service and undergo psychotherapy for 18 months.  She also got two years' probation, and she'll have to submit to drug testing.

--Lindsay also copped to violating her probation for her jewelry theft case and was sentenced to 180 days in jail.  But that sentence was stayed, meaning she won't have to serve it if she stays out of trouble from here on out.

--The hearing was held in Los Angeles, and Lindsay showed up 48 minutes late from New York City after bagging on two commercial flights and finally taking a last-minute private jet.

(--In case you've forgotten, these latest charges against Lindsay stem from that incident last June in which she totaled a Porsche by rear-ending a truck on her way to a movie set.)

--On her way into the courthouse yesterday, LINDSAY LOHAN was GLITTER-BOMBED . . . which is just an unnecessarily fancy way of saying somebody threw a handful of glitter at her.  She pretty much ignored it. 

Denise Richards Is Being Harassed Because of Charlie Sheen's Tirade Against His Daughter's School

CHARLIE SHEEN says that his wife DENISE RICHARDS is now being harassed as a result of his recent tirade against the school their 9-year-old daughter Sam used to attend.

--As you may recall, Charlie recently said that Sam had to quit the school because she was being bullied, and nobody would do anything about it.

--And his solution was to ask his Twitter followers to barrage the school with rotten eggs, toilet paper and DOG FECES.

--And now he's UPSET because parents who have kids at the school are apparently fighting back.

--Charlie told TMZ that his daughters found a threatening note pinned to a tree outside their home with a steak knife.

Are the Black Eyed Peas Replacing Fergie with Another Singer?

--However, this would just be a temporary arrangement.  Fergie is pregnant now . . . and supposedly she wants to take a few years off for the kid, and to record another solo album.  Then, she'd be free to rejoin the Peas whenever she's ready.

--There's no confirmation on any of this, so for now it's just a rumor.

Charlie Sheen Asks His Twitter Followers to Send Poop To His Daughter's School

CHARLIE SHEEN asked his Twitter followers to deliver a barrage of dog crap, rotten eggs and toilet paper to a school where his 9-year-old daughter Sam was allegedly bullied.

--Here's the back story in a nutshell:  Sam was reportedly being bullied by another 9-year-old girl named Victoria last year at the Viewpoint School in Calabasas, California.

--Victoria was harassing Sam about everything from her looks to her dad getting fired from "Two and a Half Men".

 --Sam's mom DENISE RICHARDS met with school officials several times, but nobody would do anything about it.  During the final meeting last May, Victoria's parents were present . . . and they called Sam a LIAR.

--At that point, Charlie and Denise pulled Sam from the school.

--So yesterday, Charlie hit up Twitter and said the following . . . quote, "If you have a rotten egg, a roll of toilet paper or some dog [crap], I urge you to deliver it with 'extreme prejudice' to their KamPuss (campus) run by trolls and charlatans.  Make me proud. 

--"We will not tolerate this level of abhorrent disrespect towards the child of your favorite Warlock.  And if you're feeling the 'show and tell' of it all, smear the [crap] to spell one name on the front door: VICTORIA.  Eat that loser."

--A rep for Viewpoint says, quote, "Our administrators addressed the issue appropriately last year."

--But thanks to Charlie's threats, the school has some added security on the premises.

Justin Bieber Insulted Lindsay Lohan's Financial Situation . . . Then Took it Back

It's no secret that JUSTIN BIEBER has been going through some challenging times lately.  And yesterday, he decided to fight back.

--He posted a long message on Instagram, complaining about all the LIES that the media is telling about him, like how he needs rehab and how his family is disappointed in him.

--He also noted that he's already had five #1 albums and seen the whole world.  He added, quote, "I'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning."

--He said he's a "good person" with a good heart" who's "worked [his] ass off" to get where he is . . . and he doesn't think he deserves the negative press.

--And that's all well and good, but then he ended the letter by taking a jab at LINDSAY LOHAN.

--He said, quote, "And to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan, look at her 2012 tax statements ;)"

--It sounds like Justin didn't mean to attack Lindsay . . . he just thought he was being funny.  But he quickly realized he messed up and removed that part of the post. 

--He said, quote, "My post was only up for a few minutes [10] but I realized right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say.

--"I immediately deleted it and rewrote it so it would show what I was really feeling and those words are up now."

--We don't know how Lindsay feels about Justin's post . . . or if she's even seen it.  But according to TMZ, "sources" say she HAS seen it, and she's NOT happy.

A Bunch of Unopened Fan Mail Addressed to Taylor Swift Was Found in a Nashville Dumpster

A Tennessee woman who was recycling newspapers found hundreds of fan mail addressed to TAYLOR SWIFT.  The letters were in the recycling dumpster, and many were unopened.

 --Nobody knows why the unopened letters were accidentally tossed out . . . but I'm going to guess some lackey got lazy.  I'm also going guess that that person is now unemployed.

 --WKRN-TV contacted Taylor's people and her P.R. flak issued this statement: 

--"The only explanation for any letters being unopened would be that a small batch of mail that was supposed to be delivered to Taylor was accidentally put with letters headed for the recycling center."

--The woman who found the letters says she wants them returned to the Taylor so they can be "responded to properly."  

Steven Tyler Says Taylor Swift Is "Hot" . . . and He'd Like to Write a Song with Her

--And in a new animated TV show, his spirit will also help his children save his recording studio from an EVIL CORPORATE TAKEOVER.  Seriously.

--But it doesn't sound like she had much of a choice.

--Supposedly, Elisabeth is being PUSHED OUT, because she isn't popular with the audience.  A so-called "source" says, quote, "The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right wing.

--"People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth.  So, they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed."

--There's been no direct response from ABC or Elisabeth.

--Elisabeth's contract situation is a little unclear.  A show rep says she has a long-term contract, but other sources say her deal is up after this season.  Regardless, the show could probably dump her even if she's under contract.

--By the way, "Star" magazine says Elisabeth is being let go because they want to bring in some fresh voices.  They say it's a, quote, "desperate attempt to renew interest in the show."

--Meanwhile, Showbiz411.com has the line on a potential replacement:  BROOKE SHIELDS.  The site says BARBARA WALTERS "really wants her," and adds, quote, "the deal isn't done yet . . . but it's THIS CLOSE."

--Barbara never had the chicken pox, and if you haven't had it, you can get it from someone with shingles.  She didn't realize she had it until she felt ill one day . . . fainted . . . and hit her head on a marble floor.  That's how she got the concussion.

Talk of Jimmy Fallon Replacing Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" Is Heating Up

In December, we heard that NBC executives were "quietly exploring" the idea of handing "The Tonight Show" to JIMMY FALLONwhen JAY LENO'S contract expires next year.  Well, that talk is heating up.

--Now, the "Hollywood Reporter" reports that "two high-level industry sources" say NBC is "moving forward" with the plan . . . and they could make it official in May, when the network announces its schedule for the 2013-2014 TV season.

--Supposedly, NBC will give Leno one last season . . . then Fallon would take over NEXT summer.

--But for now, NBC is denying it . . . and a rep for Leno says, quote, "We do not speculate on rumor."

--Of course, Leno is probably reluctant to go . . . just as he was back in 2009, when CONAN O'BRIEN was supposed to take over"The Tonight Show".  (--And we know how that turned out.)

--Leno is doing fine in the ratings . . . he regularly beats DAVID LETTERMAN and JIMMY KIMMEL . . . but Kimmel is giving him a run for his money in the highly coveted demographic of 18- to 49-year-olds.

(--ABC moved Kimmel up a half-hour to 11:35 P.M. in January . . . to compete directly with Leno and Letterman.)

--A so-called "source" says, quote, "The more time Jimmy Kimmel is in that slot, the more the young audience goes that way, the harder it [would be] for Jimmy [Fallon] to keep that audience."

--That's one reason NBC may want to have Fallon take over sooner rather than later.  The other reason is that Letterman's contract is also up in 2014 . . . and if HE retires, CBS could swoop in and STEAL Fallon.

--Plus, there was going to be "special acoustic performances" by Ed Roland of Collective Soul and Ed Kowalczyk of Live.

--But it's been canceled . . . and Mark is blaming this month's infamous POOP CRUISE.  (--That's the Carnival cruise ship that was forced to go a week without running water after an engine fire knocked out its power.)

--No official reason for the cancellation has been provided . . . but on Twitter, Mark suggested that the poop cruise killed ticket sales.  Especially since his cruise was also on a Carnival ship.

--He told his followers, quote, "I certainly didn't pull the plug . . . my apologies, I'm really bummed as well.  That poop cruise did us no favors . . . that fiasco really took us down . . . [it] sunk us, no pun intended!"

--Of course, Katy and John have reportedly been dating, on and off, for about six months now . . . although it's unclear what their status is right now.

--Word has it Simon is treating this like a package deal . . . and has a $20 MILLION offer on the table for them both to come onboard.

--A so-called "source" says "Simon sees it as a 'brilliant' pairing.  Katy is sassy, honest and a huge star, while John's more reserved.  Having them as rivals would be genius . . . if they had on-air bust-ups, it'd be un-missable."
