Happy Birthday, Oprah!

Oprah has been in the news a lot lately. No, even more than usual.
Welcoming First Lady Michelle Obama to her show, introducing her half-sister and preparing to OWN us all, 2011 has been a banner year for her so far.
Today, however, Winfrey is only in the news because it's January 29th - also Adam Lambert's birthday. Here's wishing the talk show queen a happy 57th!

Oprah. One of few stars famous enough to go by first name only.

Charlie Sheen Insists: I'm Fine!!!

Following his latest evening of porn star banging, cocaine smoking and hospital visiting, Charlie Sheen checked himself into rehab yesterday.
Problem on the verge of being solved, right. More like: Yeah, right.
Very soon after the actor entered an undisclosed treatment center, he sent a text message to Radar Online editor-in-chief Dylan Howard. It didn't exactly read like a man who has moved past the denial stage.

Charlie Sheen wrote one porn star a $30,000 check for her company this week. It's a small price to pay for crack-smoking company.

"People don't seem to get it," Sheen wrote. "Guy can't have a great time and do his job also?"
As for critics, which include his concerned boss at CBS and 95% of the population, listen up: You're just a "bunch of turds," Charlie added.
The Two and a Half Men star might take issue with the following question even being asked (get clean from what?!?), but you tell us: Can Charlie Sheen get clean?

Jersey Shore Season 4: Confirmed! In Italy!

It's official. Jersey Shore is running it back for a fourth season and this time, the gang will take their act across the Atlantic to the motherland of Italy.
Well, it's the motherland for Vinny Guadagnino, the only authentic Italian in the bunch. The rest of the self-proclaimed guidos/ettes are kind of posers.
In any case, it's so on in Italy, where some of Vinny's relatives are even hosting the Jersey Shore crew for an authentic dinner, Guadagnino style.
Uncle Nino had better be there. Just saying.

MOLTO BUONA: New Jersey's finest are heading overseas!

MTV confirmed this report, and is already scouting locations in Italy, similar to the way they did it in Miami for Season 2, to find the right locales.
Two months ago, Shore executives began working on getting visas for the cast and crew. No word if Snooki's arrest record will prohibit her entry.
Of course, it's all contingent on whether the Italian government lets them in, which hopefully they will. They can also consider keeping them.
Just saying. It's a thought.

Italian Group Livid Over Jersey Shore Season 4, Bashes MTV For Taking "Freak Show" to Italy

MTV confirmed yesterday that Season 4 of Jersey Shore is not only a go for later this year, but will be filmed on location in the motherland - Italy.
A major Italian-American organization is very pissed off about this.
Unleashing Jersey Shore upon the old country will only serve to make locals look like "buffoons and bimbos," according to a rep for UNICO.

The group is furious with MTV's decision to film there, saying, "People used to go to the circus to see the freak show – that is what this will be."
The rep adds, "It will not only hurt Italians but all Americans. Their outrageous, reprehensible behavior will make us look like buffoons and bimbos."
UNICO was the first group to call for a boycott of the show, calling it a "denigration" of Italian-Americans. Clearly they weren't successful.
Look at the bright side, guys:

1. Most of these posers aren't even real Italians. Vinny, yes. Snooki, hells no.
2. Maybe Italy will "detain" them on immigration violations ... indefinitely.
