HAMMER: Hello, I`m A.J. Hammer in New York with big news breaking tonight.
No way out of jail for Conrad Murray. Tonight, the doctor was convicted of killing Michael Jackson, is getting settled into his jail cell for a long time to come. After a judge today gave it to him but good, four years maximum sentence, no way out.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I find that Dr. Murray abandoned his patient. Dr. Murray repeatedly lied, engaged in deceitful misconduct. He has absolutely no sense of remorse. Absolutely no sense of fault and is and remains dangerous.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Wow. So that was that. The judge slamming Doctor Conrad Murray saying he has shown no remorse saying he is still dangerous. And tonight, we`ve got a night of explosive showbiz flash points. Is this really case closed?
"In Session" correspondent Beth Karas has been following the Conrad Murray case from the very beginning. She`s with us tonight from Los Angeles.
And Beth, let`s take a look at Murray`s reaction as he was led out of the courtroom. He appeared to be blowing a kiss, presumably it was to relatives and to his kids who were there in court as the judge really, really threw the book at him today, just slamming him with that maximum sentence of four years.
So here`s our showbiz flashpoint. Murray gets the max. Did the judge get it right? What do you think, Beth?
BETH KARAS, IN SESSION CORRESPONDENT: Well, let me tell you, one-half of the court room says he absolutely got it right, A.J. the prosecution asked for the maximum. And let`s face it, for a homicide, the lowest level homicide. It`s not a lot of years. And you know, who knows if he`ll do the four years. Probably not even close.
HAMMER: And I was so surprised by just how comprehensive this judge was in handing down the sentence. One thing that really seemed to me to tick this guy off was a documentary about Murray that aired after he was found guilty, but it was shot before the verdict was first read.
We saw Murray telling NBC news on this documentary that he doesn`t feel guilty about Jackson`s death and even seemed to criticize the man he was on trial for killing. Watch this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DOCTOR CONRAD MURRAY, CONVICTED GUILTY FOR MICHAEL JACKSON`S DEATH: I don`t feel guilty because I did not do anything wrong. I do not think that he would have had an active intention to do me harm, but I think through his most intense desire to have me there with him, it was inter-winded with a degree of betrayal.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: That really surprised me that he revealed that in that documentary and apparently surprised the judge, too. The judge directly citing those interviews, as a huge reason that he`s locking up Dr. Murray. Watch this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JUDGE MICHAEL PASTOR, LOS ANGELES SUPERIOR COURT: Dr. Murray at that point says he feels betrayed and entrapped by Michael Jackson. Yikes. Talk about blaming the victim. Not only is there no remorse, there`s umbrage and outrage. To hear Dr. Murray say it, Dr. Murray was just a bystander.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Wow. Again, pulling no punches. In short, that was really, when it comes down to it, one costly interview for Dr. Murray.
So, here`s our next showbiz flashpoint. Should Murray have kept quiet before his sentencing? What do you think about that, Beth?
KARAS: Well, maybe he should have. The judge cited those reasons among others for why he was denying probation, which is what the defense wanted. You need to own up and take some responsibility for what you`re convicted of and need to show some remorse, the judge said if you expect probation. So those were among the reasons he gave for saying, nope, you`re a jail candidate.
HAMMER: Going on national television and saying you`re not remorseful. I mean, that was unbelievable to me. And as we`ve seen all along in HLN`s extensive live coverage of the Conrad Murray trial, Michael Jackson`s fans, of course, have been a major presence at the trial.
"SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s" Kareen Wynter was right outside the courthouse this afternoon and saw firsthand the reaction to today`s sentencing. Watch what happened.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
KAREEN WYNTER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: A.J., I can tell you the atmosphere out here, outside the Los Angeles county courthouse, it`s a lot more controlled, a lot more subdued than the day that big verdict came in, but I can still tell you, so many of Michael Jackson`s fans still passionate about this case that`s now come to a close. Beyond like gold and you remember on the day of the verdict, you had a hard time. You were so overcome with emotions. You fainted.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.
WYNTER: You`re still standing today. That`s good news.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. It is. I fainted on the day of the verdict. I was overwhelmed. I was, you know, really went crazy because I was so scared he wasn`t going to be convicted. I fainted that day but I made sure that I promised everybody I wouldn`t faint today. He needs to serve the four years. We can never bring Michael Jackson back but at least we can feel a little bit, just a little bit of justice is done. You know, I`ll really be glad, I hate to say it, when they put him into regular population as opposed to giving him special treatment and services at the prison he doesn`t need.
WYNTER: Thank you so much Golden girl, one of the many fans out here since day one. Since this whole trial began, this case has come to a close and many fans are also hoping that now the beloved entertainer, A.J., can finally rest comfortably in peace.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
HAMMER: The fans glad justice was served. "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s" Kareen Wynter there and Beth Karas, I thank you very much.
I want to two to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach who was once one of Michael Jackson`s closest and personal friends, also, a spiritual advisor to Michael.
So Rabbi Shmuley to our showbiz flashpoint, do you think the judge got it right today?
RABBI SHMULEY BOTEACH, AUTHOR, SPIRITUAL ADVISOR OF MICHAEL JACKSON: Of course he got it right. In fact, what we see with Conrad Murray is that this is a man not only incapable of showing remorse, he has no conscience. You`re speaking about someone who comes across as soulless.
He not only feels no responsibility to betray his patient in the best possible light now that he`s no longer here to defend himself, even going so far to have the hut spa to say that Michael Jackson was a bed wetter. And who the heck is he to reveal these kinds of things even if they are true.
But more importantly, it doesn`t even hurt him about what happened. I mean, this is not a victimless crime. There is a man who is dead. There is a man who is dead. I know that we sometimes elevate superstars to some sort of a superhuman point where we no longer experience the pain of the family. We no longer feel their humanity.
There is a man who is no longer alive. There are children who are orphaned. And to hear that Conrad Murray amidst his four-year maximum sentence is probably going to get out in two because of a California state statute, it makes a mockery of manslaughter when really this is almost a form of murder and it trivializes Michael`s life.
HAMMER: Well, of course, you know Michael Jackson`s family, I want to stay with that for a moment, not happy at all that Doctor Conrad Murray is only getting this amount of time. "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s" Kareen Wynter spoke with Jermaine Jackson when he was leaving court and didn`t mince words at all when asked what he felt about the sentence. Let`s watch that.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JERMAINE JACKSON, MICHAEL JACKSON`S BROTHER: The same way I did before the verdict, because the time is (bleep). It should have been 100 years. It`s not enough.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Jermaine calling Dr. Murray`s four-year sentence BS basically there. The typical sentence for cases like this is reportedly only two years. Now Shmuley, some people do think because he was the king of pop, Dr. Murray got the full four. I actually don`t believe that, but here`s our showbiz flashpoint. Did he get a tougher punishment because his victim was Michael?
BOTEACH: No. I actually think that he got a more lenient sentence because it was Michael. You know, we look at superstars who have tremendous fame and tremendous wealth and think they lead these blessed lives. And, therefore, we don`t really attune ourselves to their pain.
I mean, Michael had a very painful life. He was very lonely. There was great isolation. And we always made fun of it. We caricatured him. He was wacko jacko. I actually think Conrad Murray -- they didn`t throw the book at him. Had we seen Michael was a father, just a father, not famous and we seen the children crying and seen a family mourning, had we seen a man who was taken before his time because of the negligence of a doctor, the doctor would have suffered far, far more.
HAMMER: Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, we will leave it there. Thank you so much.
And as we move on tonight, is Kris horrified by Kim`s new reality show? Apparently Kris Humphries watched Kim Kardashian`s reality premiere, didn`t like what he saw. Should he really be surprised, though?
Also Tori and Dean exposed. I mean, really exposed. This looks like an innocent picture of their son but it was Tori`s bare breast in the background that caught the attention of their twitter followers. So, was she furious about this?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TORI SPELLING, ACTRESS: I was shocked, I was devastated but it`s like, what am I going to do? I`m a mom. I was nursing my baby, yes.
DEAN MCDERMOTT, ACTOR: And now, now she`s like flashing them everywhere we go.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Tori and Dean taking us inside their twitter nightmare.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Welcome back to "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT." I`m A.J. Hammer in New York.
Tonight, the nation watched some of America`s top models strut down the catwalk, the most anticipated fashion show in the world. Of course, I`m talking about the Victoria`s secret fashion show, just aired on CBS. And let`s really be honest, the show is all about the models and the famous wings they wear. Everyone wants to know secrets behind those iconic wings.
"SHOWBIZ TONIGHT" is revealing them all in a showbiz Special Report with CNN`s Alina Cho.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
ALINA CHO, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The Victoria`s secret fashion show may be the only one in the world that celebrates models wearing almost nothing. And the only one that features these, wings. A beautiful wings.
DOUTZEN KROES, MODEL: Every girl that does Victoria`s secret wants the wings. I don`t think people know how big of a deal is.
CHO: This is Doutzen Kroes` fifth year walking the show.
KROES: Who doesn`t want to wear this?
CHO: But only her third as a Victoria`s secret angel wearing wings.
KROES: I saw those wings and they were coming closer and closer. And then I`m just, yes.
CHO: Did you ever get wings and have them taken away?
TODD THOMAS, COLLECTION DESIGNER: You can`t do that. That`s unacceptable.
CHO: That would be devastating.
THOMAS: Yes.
CHO: Todd Thomas is man behind the wings. Not every model gets a wing.
THOMAS: Not everybody does, no.
CHO: Thomas gave me a behind the scene the tour of this year`s wing collection for the latest show.
THOMAS: This year we topped ourselves, both in the number of looks and in the number of wings. We have 68 looks and we have 31 Wings.
CHO: Some people might think every look has a wing. Not true.
THOMAS: No, it`s not true.
CHO: That`s because if every look did, models would have trouble passing each other on the cat walk.
IZABEL GOULART, MODEL: They`re beautiful, very big. The only thing when they`re on the runway, it takes all the space of the runway. So, when my girlfriend is crossing me, I have to give a little turn.
CHO: The wings are elaborate.
THOMAS: This is an automated pair of wings.
CHO: Made from everything from feathers an aluminum.
ARMANDO FARFAN, WING DESIGNER: As big as we go, incredibly spectacular as we go, they have to be light.
CHO: This one gold plated with Swarovski crystals costing $100,000, and weighed 35 pounds. Tell me about walking with the wing. That takes practice.
KROES: Yes. Yes. That`s why it`s good to start small and get bigger.
CHO: They`re all handmade. The process starts nine months before the show. With sketches and prototypes then about three months before, the wing team gets to work. So, months.
THOMAS: Months, yes.
CHO: This isn`t just slopped together in a week.
THOMAS: It`s not like, yes, by the way, we`re doing these wings.
CHO: Once its show time -- do you get nervous?
GOULART: Yes, of course. I`m in underwear.

(END VIDEOTAPE)
HAMMER: Welcome back to "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT." Its 30 minutes past the hour. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York. And we are breaking big news tonight about "apprentice" secrets.
While the next season of "Celebrity Apprentice" is still tightly under wraps, "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT" is bringing now you the secrets of the wildly popular show.
The Donald makes the boardroom a family affair. Of course, with both his son Donald, and daughter, Ivanka making the tough decisions week after week. And all along with her boardroom duties, Ivanka Trump just added baby duties to her long to-do list when she became a mom this past July to daughter Arabella Rose.
First of all, I think this is the first time I`m seeing you since Arabella Rose was born. Congratulations. What a beautiful name.
IVANKA TRUMP, DONALD TRUMP`S DAUGHTER: Thank you.
HAMMER: Very exciting. And I do want to talk about her and all of that in just a moment. But let`s talk some "apprentice" secrets right now. Obviously, the celebrity names are officially tightly under wraps. However Ivanka, you know this is a small town.
TRUMP: I had to sign away my first born child. So, --
HAMMER: You can`t throw a charity event --
TRUMP: for the sake of Arabella.
HAMMER: Party in this town without people taking notice of who`s there, what cameras are rolling.
TRUMP: Deductive logic can be used.
HAMMER: There have been names tossed around and you have been out there in the reports. So, I`m merely reading what I have seen in other reports. Names such as Clay Aiken, Debby Gibson, Cheryl Teagues, just to name a few. Spill it what you can.
TRUMP: What I will tell you is this season makes all others of "Celebrity Apprentice" looks mild. So, there was total chaos. It was a lot of fun. This is all very, very fresh in my memory because we literally just finished filming. But there were crying - there was crying in the boardroom. There were fights. There were threats of physical harm to other cast mates. I mean, it was totally crazy but it was a lot of fun.
HAMMER: Are you saying mild other seasons will look mild, even last season and the fireworks we got to see?
TRUMP: Yes.
HAMMER: Because quite frankly I don`t think anyone can touch what we saw go on between Star Jones formally of "the View" and the lovely Nene Leakes. Should we relive a little bit of that?
TRUMP: I would love to.
HAMMER: Charles, may we please.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And I thought that may be the opportunity for Nene to win some money for her charity.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You did not say that.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You can say what I didn`t say.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I know how you think. Yes, I do. I know you how think. I know you how play the game. And you are playing with the right one.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is not the little housewives.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You`re playing with the right one.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is not the real housewives.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It doesn`t have to be the real housewives. Who are you to step in and tell somebody when to be project manager?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: It`s a television classic to be sure. You don`t mess with Nene Leakes.
TRUMP: You do not mess with Nene. But I will tell you that we have personalities on this season that makes Nene look subdued.
HAMMER: Well, that`s hard for me to believe. But I love that scene in particular because she put Star Jones in her flash.
TRUMP: The hovering, the towering over her.
HAMMER: Here`s my question though. Casting is a huge part of the show. Looking back to when that show and cast was set up, is one of the secrets to casting somebody like Star and Nene in the same cast, knowing that they`re going to fight, knowing they will probably butt heads?
TRUMP: Well, there`s certain people that one can assume that there may be friction in between. And I think that strong personalities tend to grade upon each other or it can work out well, in this case I wasn`t overly surprised that Nene and Star over the course of the show ceased liking one another.
With that said, I think the most hostile battles are often totally out of the blue. So you just really don`t see them coming. It`s a personality where you have somebody dominant and somebody a little bit meek who starts getting fed up. People don`t like that. The more timid one is being ganged up on. So, there really isn`t a way to anticipate out people get along.
HAMMER: You know what happens on the show, passive aggressive simply becomes aggressive. That`s what I`ve always said about it. And I was thinking, you know, seeing Nene there just reminded me of this. A great casting concept, maybe you want to run this by the board, perhaps you do an entire cast of merely desperate housewives.
Why not? I mean, they`re known for their drama.
TRUMP: I think they`re called real housewives.
HAMMER: Or the real housewives. That`s right.
TRUMP: There may have been a slip there.
HAMMER: I`m sorry. You know, I`m so sad the desperate housewives are going away. Put all the real housewives. What would you think about that?
TRUMP: That would make one interesting boardroom. So, who would your money be on?
HAMMER: Well, you know, Nene can never, really never be shut down. But you know Camille Grammer is a tougher cookie than people give her credit for.
TRUMP: It would be interesting.
HAMMER: So, what`s the secret to finding the right "Celebrity Apprentice"?
TRUMP: I think it is well, you need great celebrities and each season becomes easier because you know, naturally the celebrities watching the show sees what it`s done for the careers of not only the winners but people who participated in the season.
So, you know, the show is still a great success. And people want to be a part of that. I think the first season of "Celebrity Apprentice" people were naturally nervous about what they were walking into.
HAMMER: Sure.
TRUMP: So, each season just the caliber of star that we got is, is surpassing the one before it. So that`s really a lot of fun.
For me, personally, I love watching these people who are bona fide successes in their various fields be confronted with challenges that are so outside of the realm of things that they`ve tackled before and seeing how they use their skill set to overcome that.
HAMMER: What they also have to be good at doing, you have to learn how to win over your father, Donald Trump. What is the secret to doing that?
TRUMP: Well, a lot of it is reading cues. So, just you know, with anything else, I`m always shocked with how many people in the boardroom will do the same thing over and over and over that makes my father semi irate. And you know he will let them know and if they continue not to address their personality accordingly. So it is, you know, it is a game in that regard.
HAMMER: One of the smartest things --
TRUMP: Some people don`t seem to pick up on things.
HAMMER: One of the smartest things I think anybody`s done, Piers Morgan said I read all of his books before I went on to the show to make sure I could feed into the stuff he likes to hear about.
You know, there was so much drama at the end of last season when your dad was sort of mulling over his possible run for the White House. And he`s kind of bowed out of that, poked back into it a little bit.
But now that the presidential race is in such turmoil, do you see him possibly jumping back in? Has he said to you, no way, I`m not going to do it?
TRUMP: Well, there`s only one potential candidate out there I could throw my vote behind. And that would be him. So, you know, I wish he would run. I understand that it takes a lot to do that. You know, psychologically, emotionally, work wise. He`s got a lot on his plate in other endeavors, but I do think he would be an amazing candidate and an amazing president.
HAMMER: Well, one thing we certainly know is charity work is very important to him. As I know it is for you as well.
TRUMP: Very much so.
HAMMER: You`re working on this new charity that I just think is spectacular, it`s called cookies for kids` cancer. What can people do to help? I went to the Web site today. It looks amazing.
TRUMP: They do a terrific job. And cookies your kids` cancer teamed up G.L.A.D. and they are hosting series of bake sales where each of the cookies sold raises money for pediatric cancer research which you know, especially being a new mom I thank God every day I have a healthy baby.
So you know being able to help some of these parents overcome hopefully diseases like cancer in their children through this research is just wonderful. And G.L.A.D. has been incredibly generous. They`re donating 10 cents for literally every cookie that`s either sold, so you go on to the Web site, and you can register. Its cookiesforkidscancer.org and you can register a bake sale and then you just say how many cookies you sell and G.L.A.D. makes the donation.
HAMMER: That`s so terrific.
TRUMP: It`s really incredible.
HAMMER: Nicely done. And congratulations for figuring out how to balance all of that out and everything else you do and with being a new mom.
TRUMP: You are assuming I figure it out.
HAMMER: Great to see, Ivanka Trump.
TRUMP: Thank you.
HAMMER: I appreciate you being here. And for more information on how to help with cookies for kids` cancer, a terrific, terrific charity, please log on to gladtogive.com.

HAMMER: That`s the always hilarious Wayne Knight starring in the new comedy "the exes." This is all about three divorced men who become roommates. Nothing will go wrong with that set-up, right? The show premieres on TVland tomorrow night.
Welcome back to "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT." I`m A.J. Hammer in New York with shocking showbiz ex-files.
First up, there are brand new reports tonight that Kim Kardashian`s soon to be ex-husband Kris Humphries is absolutely horrified of the way he was portrayed in Kim`s new reality show with her sister, Kourtney.
And then a bombshell confession, Guy Ritchie she says his marriage to Madonna was like a soap opera.
It`s an ex-files worthy of someone who`s starring as an ex on TV. I have the perfect guy right here. Wayne Knight plays a divorced bachelor who is living in an apartment with a couple other divorced guys in the new TVland comedy "the exes." (Inaudible) for Kris Humphries.
Wayne joining me for a showbiz newsmaker interview. It`s so cool to have you here. I apologize for being giddy about the fact you are here because I`m one of the wackos who would go around quoting "Seinfeld." I`m one of the wackos who if I have a bad hand in cards, human. Send people look at me funny, so --
WAYNE KNIGHT, STAR, THE EXES: A bad hand in cards, you say?
HAMMER: I do. I say it for any reason, something doesn`t go my way. So I`m pretty much nuts. But let`s -- let`s begin, because I know you`re chomping at the bit to get at Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian.
KNIGHT: Boy.
HAMMER: So, we know Kim filed for divorce from Kris after just 72 days. Weeks later we get to see how things were playing out in their short marriage on Kim`s reality show, and reports today say that Kris was just horrified with the following.
The scene where he throws a tantrum after finding a naked male yoga instructor leading a class for his wife in the hotel suite. He was also a little ticked off at the unforgettable moment where he passed gas in Kourtney`s face. And of course the eyebrow raising club scene where he refused to cut the cake at a party thrown in their honor.
Look, I do feel bad for the guy about how all this has played out but I`m thinking if Kris said and did those things, he only really has himself to blame, Wayne. Should he be ticked off about how he`s being portrayed by Kim?
KNIGHT: If you won`t cut the cake but you will cut the cheese, then I think you`ve got nothing to say.
HAMMER: Right there. Done.
KNIGHT: My personal feeling. He`s done. But the other thing is the marriage lasted 72 days?
HAMMER: Yes.
KNIGHT: And shooting of the Kardashian show probably lasted maybe 90 days.
HAMMER: Perhaps.
KNIGHT: So the show lasted longer than the marriage. I -- he should get, like, 20 days off.
HAMMER: Exactly. All right. Then everything, all bets are off.
KNIGHT: Also, how can you go into a reality show and claim that the editing is bad? They`re shooting you all day long.
HAMMER: Yes.
KNIGHT: I mean, I don`t know. I feel sorry for him in some ways, but I don`t know which way.
(LAUGHTER)
We have some time to figure that out. But let`s talk about somebody else, because while we`re watching this marriage, obviously crumble before our very eyes on television, for the very first time we`re getting a glimpse at another pair of famous exes, Guy Ritchie and Madonna.
Ritchie gave a stunning interview where he paints a surprising picture of their relationship. At least to me it`s surprising that he said this to "Details" magazine.
"I stepped into a soap opera and lived in it for quite a long time."
He says he has never bridge, Wayne. Are you surprised he`s willing to speak out about his marriage to Madonna?
KNIGHT: I want to know which one is the young, which one is the restless? You know, I mean, that`s my only question. Afraid to speak out against -- yes, I am, frankly.
HAMMER: She can be scary.
KNIGHT: I don`t know her at ail and I could be frightened.
HAMMER: You`re a little frightened of her.
KNIGHT: I`m a little, yes.
HAMMER: Well, and the fact he said he says that he stepped into a soap opera getting married to Madonna, that really shouldn`t come as a shocker.
KNIGHT: That`s shocking. That is a big surprise because you know, somebody who is that massive and your life -- yes. You would be upset and shocked that you are scrutinized, perhaps, or that the person might have some ego. Big surprise!
HAMMER: Big surprise.
KNIGHT: Yes.
HAMMER: Let`s talk about your new show "the exes." I`m very excited about this as I mentioned, been a huge fan of your work for some time. You`ve been doing tremendous work pretty much nonstop since everybody got to know you in a major way.
KNIGHT: Tell that to my accountant.
HAMMER: On "Seinfeld." Well look, what drew you, as somebody who`s done so many sitcoms and shows, what drew this to you in particular?
KNIGHT: Well, I`ve been doing appearances on "Hot in Cleveland" and which is TVland as well. And it`s a really good experience because you have professionals who know what they`re doing and they`re allowed to do it.
And then "the exes" came around. Do I want to work with TVland with other professionals doing a form which I really enjoy doing which I like seeing, yes, there was no downside there because I think people still would like a place to go to laugh about people who are not real.
HAMMER: Yes.
KNIGHT: Or at least scripted.
HAMMER: It`s terrific and I`m looking forward to it. Wayne, great having you here.
KNIGHT: Thank you very much.
HAMMER: Appreciate it. Make sure you catch the premiere of "the exes" tomorrow night on TVland. Just check your local listings.
