(MUSIC)

Hello. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York, and we have got big news breaking tonight on a night of SHOWBIZ mysteries, including the brand-new Casey Anthony mysteries and a new mysterious tape of Casey Anthony`s video diary that just surfaced today.

This is another amazing step in this case. Did Casey talk about her murdered daughter, Caylee? Oh, no. But she did talk about her new piercings. Yes, that`s what she was talking about.

So you want to buckle your seatbelts for that. Pretty amazing. HLN`s Nancy Grace right here. Nancy, of course, giving us a piece of her mind about the latest Casey craziness or, of course, as Nancy likes to call her, tot mom. Nancy Grace joining me in just a minute.

But first, we`ve got to talk about the big Beyonce baby mysteries tonight. And I do want to say, all of us here at SHOWBIZ tonight send our sincere congratulations, best wishes to Beyonce and her hubby Jay-Z over the birth of their baby girl. We are thrilled.

Beyonce and Jay-Z haven`t even officially confirmed it. At least they didn`t until late today. How did they do it? In their own special way. Jay-Z actually posted a song on his website all about the baby.

And the song is pretty amazing. You`ve got to hear this. I`ve got it for you in a moment. But we have so many questions tonight including the mystery behind the name of the baby, Blue Ivy. And why one new father is just furious at Beyonce and Jay-Z. Hard to believe on a day like today.

With me in New York, another superstar celebrity mom, Brandy Norwood. Brandy is starring in the must-see hit TV show, "The Game." It starts its second season Tuesday night on BET.

Joining me from Hollywood, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Nischelle Turner with us. Great to see you, first of all.

BRANDY NORWOOD, "THE GAME": Great to see you, too.

HAMMER: Always a pleasure. So Beyonce and Jay-Z`s baby.

NORWOOD: Yes. Congratulations.

HAMMER: This is going to be the most talked about baby around at least, I`m thinking, until Prince William and Kate Middleton have one. But for the time being, they have got the stage here.

The biggest burning baby mystery tonight, how did they come up with that name, Blue Ivy? Well, listen. I`ve got a theory. I have some ideas. Blue obviously a big color for Jay-Z, "The Blueprint," the name of Jay-Z`s classic album from 2001 and two sequels.

Ivy - now, "IV," of course, is the Roman numeral for "four." Beyonce has often said, "Hey, this is my favorite number. It is the name of her last album. Her birthday. Her mother`s birthday. Jay-Z, her husband`s birthday. Her wedding anniversary. They all fall on the fourth of the month.

I think it`s a great name. A lot of people are saying, "Unusual Hollywood name." I think it`s beautiful.

NORWOOD: I think the name is gorgeous. It totally fits. I love it. I love it. And I`m so happy for Beyonce and Jay. They`re actually one of my favorite couples, and both inspirations.

HAMMER: You know, as soon as I mentioned to you before we got started this is what we`re going to be talking about right off the top here. You just lit up. You`re so excited for them.

NORWOOD: Yes, I am.

HAMMER: There`s a lot of mystery also around whether they even had a baby at first, anyway, because remember, they didn`t confirm it until this afternoon when Jay-Z posted a song on his Web site.

This is a beautiful and very different tribute to his new child. It`s a song called "Glory." SHOWBIZ TONIGHT has it for you. You`ve got to listen.

(MUSIC)

Wow. I mean, you just don`t hear that as a baby announcement every day. And it really just struck me how personal that was in the song.

Jay-Z even reveals for the first time, Brandy, that Beyonce once suffered a miscarriage. I`ve got to tell you I was very surprised by that, given how notoriously private these guys always are.

NORWOOD: Yes, I heard the song and I was surprised as well, but it`s a great song. And to hear a little blue at if end was just like, "Oh my god. It was so, so beautiful. Breathtaking actually.

HAMMER: It is breathtaking.

NORWOOD: Yes, it is.

HAMMER: And really, you know, for such a pair of artists, what an incredibly cool way to do that.

NORWOOD: Yes.

HAMMER: It is hard for me to believe, you know, the little baby is just a couple of days old at this point. And there`s already controversy floating around. Jay-Z and Beyonce took over an entire floor of New York City hospital.

Now, I want to go out to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT Nischelle Turner who is in Hollywood. What`s that all about, Nischelle?

NISCHELLE TURNER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: Yes, the good is coming with the bad now, A.J. Now, Jay-Z and Beyonce reportedly paid $1.3 million to secure and redecorate an entire wing at the hospital and to have bodyguards stationed there.

But one new dad whose wife gave birth at that hospital said the superstar couple disrupted his plans to see his newborn twins at least four times. Now, believe me, this is one ticked off new dad. Watch what he told WCBS- TV.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They should have gotten a little bit more strategic with where they put her. You can`t cordon off the NICU. These are small children, newborns who need care.

And you`re just going to take over the hospital like you own it? Having to deal with all this drama because of some superstar is not fair.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Well, Nischelle, late today, the hospital set the record straight. Here`s what they`re telling SHOWBIZ TONIGHT about of this.

They say no one was denied access to the neonatal intensive care unit. No one has complained to them. The hospital also denied that Jay-Z and Beyonce paid over $1 million to take over a whole floor of the hospital.

But instead, they did pay for a so-called executive suite. I already know, given that Beyonce has had the baby, here`s what the next story for her is going to be. Because you know, it`s going to be on the cover of all the magazines.

Everybody`s going to be saying, "How is she going to lose the baby weight?" Now, the Grammy awards are next month. She`s nominated for two awards. And there`s a lot of buzz that she`s actually going show up.

And if she performs, everybody is going to be buzzing about how did she lose all that baby weight so fast, because, you know, let`s face it. Beyonce - she`s going to snap right back into shape, not that she has to, but we know how this goes.

Some advice as a mom. What do you think? As a mom and a performer, what would you tell Jay-Z? What was - or Jay-Z and Beyonce? What is something that worked for you that you might say, hey, this is something you should consider?

NORWOOD: As far as getting rid of baby weight?

HAMMER: Yes.

NORWOOD: Well, I just - I exercised every day. Running is so great for the body. And I ate very, very healthy. And I just - I just think she just needs to appreciate her baby right now and not worry about all of that. Just enjoy it.

HAMMER: Is there a piece - is there a piece of you thinking, having, you know, spent a lot of time at these awards show that maybe take the night off. Give yourself the night off. Don`t feel like you`re obliged to go out and show everybody you can perform right away?

NORWOOD: I would. I would because, I mean, this is her first child. I would take the time and just be with my family and be with my newborn and chill out. That`s what I would do.

HAMMER: Yes.

NORWOOD: But you know B. She`s a workaholic and she loves what she does, and you have to respect her for that.

HAMMER: If anybody is going to be able to strike the balance, it is her.

NORWOOD: Yes.

HAMMER: I want to congratulate on your new gig.

NORWOOD: Thank you.

HAMMER: I`m very excited that you`re joining the cast of the BET show, "The Game."

NORWOOD: Yes. Thank you very much.

HAMMER: The first episode premiering on Tuesday night. Obviously, we first got to know you in a TV series doing Moesha back in the `90s.

NORWOOD: Yes.

HAMMER: What made you decide to get back into another show like this and do the gig?

NORWOOD: Well, I missed it. I missed acting full time. It`s definitely one of my passions. So this role, Chardonnay, came along.

And I just thought that she was the perfect comeback role to say that. You know, it was a great character. She`s sassy, feisty. She knows what she wants. And this is the first time people are going to see me, you know, as an adult.

HAMMER: Right. Sure.

NORWOOD: Who is just taking control, you know.

HAMMER: I just have to ask you. Coincidence that your name is Brandy -

NORWOOD: And her name is -

HAMMER: And her name is Chardonnay - wine. I mean, is that a happy accident or was that well-planned?

NORWOOD: I think it`s a happy accident.

HAMMER: Yes. OK.

NORWOOD: But it`s a great coincidence.

HAMMER: Well, it`s terrific to see you. We really look forward to seeing you on your show.

NORWOOD: Thank you very much.

HAMMER: Brandy Norwood, thank you so much for being here.

NORWOOD: Thank you.

HAMMER: And make sure you check out her debut on "The Game." That`s tomorrow night on BET.

Well, Jay-Z and Beyonce aren`t the only ones who are getting a Blue Ivy bonanza. Oh, no. There`s a woman in Palm Beach, Florida, who is being overwhelmed because - well, guess what? The name of her event planning company is Blue Ivy.

I`m not kidding. This is blowing up, I mean, in a very good way. You know, now that her business shares the name of the most famous newborn on the planet, that can only be good for her, right?

Veronica Alexander is the founder of the company, Blue Ivy. She is with us tonight. Veronica, what a day it has been. I appreciate you being with us. Stay where you are, because I want to get to you in just a few minutes. I think you`re all about your new Jay-Z-Beyonce connection. That`s pretty, pretty cool.

And SHOWBIZ TONIGHT uncovers the startling clues about Kim Kardashian`s marriage meltdown. Everyone is still trying to figure out what could go so wrong in just 72 days of marriage? Well, tonight, the SHOWBIZ super- sleuths - they are on the case.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KIM KARDASHIAN, REALITY TV STAR: There`s just something in my relationship that I just feel like isn`t right. I don`t know. I`m just like learning a lot of things about him that I didn`t really know before.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: OK. So I`m watching this and I`m wondering, did Kim drop a huge hint to the world on her reality show before she even dropped the divorce bomb on Kris Humphries?

Tonight, the Casey Anthony tape mystery. Now, she released a second all-new video diary. And now, she is showing off new piercings. And there`s still no mention of her dead daughter. Amazing.

Nancy Grace is right here. We`re asking her what Casey is really up to. Is this all part of a plan to cash in? Nancy is tearing into tot mom. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN news and views.

Time now for the "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" - more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news tonight.

TEXT: Charlie Sheen starts casting for new F/X Show, "Anger Management." Angelina Jolie tells SHOWBIZ if she`ll direct another movie.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANGELINA JOLIE, ACTRESS: I don`t - you know, I`m still so shy to even consider myself a writer/director. But I`m - I think I`m so driven by something that I care about, so I have to be that. You know, if something comes my way and I feel so compelled to tell it, then I think I might jump in. But I`m still shy.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HAMMER: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York. Tonight, when did he know? Well, there are bombshell new revelations about Kim Kardashian`s marriage breakdown.

Kim`s stunning on-camera confession to her mom that just a couple of months after Kim`s fairytale wedding to Kris Humphries they were already having major problems. But did Kim really tell reality TV cameras that her marriage was falling apart before she even told her husband?

With me tonight from Hollywood is comedian and entertainment journalist and friend to the Kardashians, Michael Yo. Good to see you, Michael.

MICHAEL YO, COMEDIAN AND ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALIST: Hey, what`s up, A.J.

HAMMER: So the Kardashian bombshells - yes, they keep on coming, my friend. In this all-new episode of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York," we just got our look at how Kim finally broke the news that her marriage to Kris Humphries just wasn`t working. Let`s watch this together.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KIM KARDASHIAN: There`s something in my relationship that I just feel like isn`t right. I don`t know. I`m just like learning a lot of things about him that I didn`t really know before. And I don`t know - married life just isn`t what I thought it would be with him.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: All right. I mean, really? Let me just put this in context and tell you why I`m so stunned here, because it seems that the first person we see Kim telling about her marriage implosion - not her husband - her mom, and of course, all the reality TV crew members that were there, rolling on this, you know, private moment and private conversation.

Michael, did we miss something? Or are you with me that this kind of proves Kris Humphries was the last to know that his marriage to Kim was over?

YO: No, I think everybody confides in their family first. And people have got to remember the Kardashians are a real family and they`re real people. If you have a problem with someone you`re dating, you usually go to your parents first.

If I have a problem with the girl I`m dating, I`m going to go, "Hey, Mom, this is not working out. Do you have any advice?" And I think Kim was going to her mom for advice, not saying, "I`m going to break up with him." Just like, "Mom, is this normal is normal?"

Any child would go to their parent. And people lose this concept of they`re a real family. They`re just on TV.

HAMMER: Yes. I guess that when you think of it in the big picture and how blindsided Kris Humphries said that he was, personally, I`m looking at it thinking this doesn`t make Kim look all that good.

I mean, they play this soft music. They have this seemingly magic moment - her mom and Kim, you know, not so real. But to a lot of people, it does seem contrived. I mean, do you think at all that this makes Kim come off as looking bad? Because I don`t know. I don`t think, Michael, she looks so great in this moment.

YO: Well, I mean, just like, you know, Kim after the breakup, she even wrote on her blog that she made a mistake. And maybe the TV show kind of - not forced her into it, but helped out her decision, making a fast decision about it.

I think, yes, she knows she made a mistake. And like, if you do a reality TV show, you`re always not going to look good, and she`s fine with that. It`s about moving on and, you know, finding the person that`s going to make her happy.

HAMMER: Yes. Well, somebody that I always think looks good, and this just makes me smile because I want to smile right now - Christina Aguilera. She`s taking on critics who say she`s packed on too many pounds.

She gave a brand-new interview to "People" magazine. I give a big thumbs- up to her for saying, "You can never be too much of anything. You can never be too perfect, too thin, too curvy, too voluptuous, this, that. I`ve been on all sides of the spectrum."

"Every female in the business at one time or another has had criticism. And I`m always a risk-taker, too. I have a boyfriend that loves my body. I love my body. My son is healthy and happy, and that is all that matters."

And Michael, I`m going to leave it there by just saying, wow, good for her. Not taking it from anybody, and basically telling all the critics, you know what you can do with all your criticism, you know what. Michael Yo, thanks, my friend.

YO: Thank you.

HAMMER: All right. It is time now, if you`re ready, let`s climb into the SHOWBIZ time machine together for tonight`s SHOWBIZ viral video.

This is the totally awesome `80s edition. Regis Philbin`s shoes obviously are going to be very tough to fill. But Kelly Ripa has been having a ball trying out all kinds co-host contenders.

Reggie Bush filling in this morning on "Live" with Kelly. But tonight, the folks from her first TV gig have a suggestion. Now, Kelly was a teen dancing queen on the show, "Dancing on Air" in Philadelphia.

Back in the day, she had some pretty serious chemistry with her partner, Mike. Could it be the ultimate TV reunion? You`ve got to check out Mike moves and Kelly`s big Jersey bangs. This is fun.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Couple number one is Kelly and Mike. Kelly says she counts on her boyfriend to be by her side. Meanwhile, Mike says he looks for his mom to be right there by his side.

(MUSIC)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Just makes us smile, doesn`t it? All right. I`m not exactly sure if Mike is TV material these days. I haven`t seen him. "Dancing on Air" is opening the ball to air more vintage Kelly Ripa episodes this summer in Philly, all celebrating the show`s 30th anniversary. Well done.

All right. We move to Katy Perry`s divorce war with her parents. You know, I have to believe Katy Perry`s going through a pretty rough time since splitting from her husband, Russell Brand. But is she really lashing out at her mom and dad? Is Russell striking back, too?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

FALLON: It`s the newest of newest "Us Weekly." And what do I see on the cover? A picture of me and Katy Perry. And what does it say? "Married to a crazy man."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Tonight, Jimmy Fallon hilts a home run, in my mind, with his Brand slam. Katy kissed a girl, but who is the luckiest girl in the world?

(MUSIC)

HAMMER: That is Mr. Jason Segel. You have to see this over-the-top ode by a woman from Indiana. Tonight, I`ll reveal this story`s made for Hollywood ending. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN news and views.

Time now for the "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" - more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news tonight.

TEXT: Paula Abdul splits from her boyfriend after a year. Prince William and Duchess Catherine attend London "War Horse" premiere.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS: What if I got drunk on the one night you happened to drop by. So (EXPLETIVE DELETED) what?

GEORGE CLOONEY, ACTOR: Hey, watch your language around Scotty.

UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS: I don`t care.

CLOONEY: Anyway, listen, it`s nice to se you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Mr. Cool, George Clooney, in the five-time Golden Globe nominated film, "The Descendants." George got his best actor nomination, but there is another battle brewing that could be bigger than the Globes itself.

Tonight, the smoking hot Golden Globes showdown. We`ve got George, Brad, Ryan, talented guys to be sure. But it is their other assets making the race for best actor this year, a true showstopper.

That is why I`m bringing in SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Nischelle Turner. Got to get all the details, Nischelle, on this Golden Globe showdown of all these leading guys.

TURNER: Oh, A.J., let me say that the Globes needs to change this category from best performance by an actor in a drama to smoking hot showdown.

Let`s take a look at some of the list of these handsome nominees. I mean, it`s a category full of snacky treats. George Clooney for "The Descendents." His pal, Brad Pitt nominated for "Moneyball." Ryan Gosling for "The Ides of March." Leo DiCaprio for "J. Edgar." And super-stud, Michael Fassbender for "Shame." So there`s a lot of eye candy for the ladies on Sunday night at the Globes.

Snacky treats - nice, Nischelle. Simmer down a little bit, OK? Back to the nominees. What do you make of George Clooney and Brad Pitt? Of course, they`re good friends. They`re going up against each other here. And of course, George directed Ryan Gosling in "Ides of March."

TURNER: Yes. They`re all intertwined there. This is definitely though a friendly rivalry. Now, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT caught up with George at the Palm Springs Film Festival over the weekend.

And he was very complimentary to the other nominated films. I`m sure George would like to win, but I also think that he`d celebrate his buddy Brad winning. Let`s remember, George has two previous Globe wins and Brad Pitt only one, so maybe this year, he`ll even the score, A.J.

HAMMER: Well, I`ve got to tell you I finally saw "The Descendents" over the weekend and truly a worthy - a movie worthy of all the nominations it got.

And Nischelle, I appreciate all that. I do need you to cool down before we join each other on the red carpet. We`re covering all the Golden Globes action Sunday with SHOWBIZ TONIGHT at the Golden Globes.

Time now for the SHOWBIZ lineup. Here`s what`s coming up at the bottom of the hour on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.

ANNOUNCER: TV`s most provocative entertainment news show continues right now.

(MUSIC)

HAMMER: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. It`s 30 minutes past the hour. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York.

And what a name - Blue Ivy. That`s the name of Beyonce`s brand-new baby. Hubby Jay-Z confirmed today they did indeed have a little girl over the weekend. And I know what you`re thinking. A lot of people are thinking about this and talking about this today - Blue Ivy.

Who would think of such a name? Well, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can tell you before Beyonce and Jay-Z made that name famous overnight, there`s a wedding and event planner who named her company Blue Ivy. And she`s just been overwhelmed ever since Beyonce gave birth.

Veronica Alexander is the founder of the company, Blue Ivy. She`s with me tonight from Palm Beach, Florida. Veronica, it`s great to have you here. I have to imagine, wow, the past 48 hours - it must have been so surreal for you. How did you first learn about Beyonce and Jay-Z naming their daughter the same name as your company, Blue Ivy?

VERONICA ALEXANDER, FOUNDER, BLUE IVY: I actually went to bed on Saturday night seeing that Beyonce had her baby and was like, oh, what`s the name? And I went to bed and I woke up like around 7:00 in the morning. And my husband received a text message from one of his colleagues saying, "Hey, Beyonce just had her baby. She named it Blue Ivy!"

And that was it. And really, when he said it to me, I basically popped out of my bed and knew the magnitude of it within five seconds.

HAMMER: And were you overjoyed? Did you think, "Wow, this is extraordinary and I wasn`t looking for this kind of publicity, but this is going to help"? Or were you kind of ticked off, "Hey, I thought of that first"?

ALEXANDER: Oh, my gosh. Number one, Beyonce, I can`t be any more prouder than the person who actually chose the name out of any celebrity in the world. Number two, it was an absolutely - honestly an emotional experience.

For me, it took six months to come up with that name. So for someone to have grabbed that name and put it to the most person in their life, I`m flattered. I was thrilled.

HAMMER: Now, do you think - because I have to imagine that Beyonce - I don`t know. If I`m naming my baby something unusual, I`m doing a little search for it. Do you think she knew about your company before she decided on the name?

ALEXANDER: I`m going to do a full bet. Absolutely 100 percent. I mean, I can`t imagine someone with nine months of a baby inside of them and they`re looking into how they`re going to call her and what`s going to be behind it.

If they Google it right now, what`s it going to show? Is there going to be a stripper behind there?

(CROSS TALK)

HAMMER: Yes. That`s exactly what I thought - Blue Ivy. Because, quite frankly, there`s the name of a now-deceased porn star who had a very close name to that. And thank goodness they didn`t go with that name.

ALEXANDER: Right.

HAMMER: So I`m going to give you a shot right now. You have the platform. They may be busy, but I`m sure somebody is recording this for you. What`s the message that you want to get out to Beyonce and Jay-Z, Veronica?

ALEXANDER: Beyonce, I have one huge thing to say and Jay-Z, you too, high five. That`s number one. Number two, clearly great minds think alike. We obviously have a lot in common.

I obviously think this is almost inevitable or fate that this would have happened. I think those two words would never have happened unless there was something that really was meant to be.

It could have been any word on the planet and we chose those same words for what I call my baby, which is my company and my career, and your baby, which is your new daughter.

HAMMER: Right.

ALEXANDER: Ultimately, the number one thing I would like to say is if there`s any moment we can have an opportunity to actually sponsor her first birthday party, that`s the first thing we thought of.

HAMMER: Perfect. Perfect. And Veronica, if that happens, if you hear from them, we would like to hear from you, OK?

ALEXANDER: Absolutely. I appreciate it.

HAMMER: All right. Veronica Alexandra of Blue Ivy, thank you very much. We have to move on right now because there`s another very big story breaking tonight. It`s the brand-new Casey Anthony tape mysteries.

A second all-new video diary of Casey Anthony has just surfaced on YouTube. You`ve got to see this thing. In it, she`s chatting away about her new piercings. That leads to so many new Casey mysteries.

Tonight, why doesn`t she mention her dead daughter? How did these tapes get out? Has she now blown her cover? Get ready for Nancy Grace taking on the brand-new Casey mystery questions.

I spoke with Nancy late today and I can tell you she went on one tot mom tirade.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

(on camera) All right, Nancy. Obviously, we have so many brand-new mysteries we have to get to tonight, including this brand-new video of Casey Anthony that`s on YouTube tonight.

Her lawyers have confirmed to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, yes, that`s Casey on the tape. No surprise here - Casey didn`t make a single mention of her murdered daughter, Caylee.

Instead, she`s talking about her brand-new nose piercing. I need to tell you the video was edited before we got it, so it`s a little choppy. But let`s take a look at that. Charles, roll it out.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CASEY ANTHONY, ACQUITTED OF MURDERING HER DAUGHTER, CAYLEE ANTHONY: I had a piercing. Very excited. And top of my ears. Very exciting.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Are you kidding me? I mean, I look at that and I`m thinking how self absorbed can you be? Nancy, our first Casey Anthony mystery tonight, is Casey ever going to say something heartfelt about Caylee?

NANCY GRACE, HOST, "NANCY GRACE": Apparently not. And also, when you look at this video, I noticed immediately it apparently was edited, at the very least, for sound, if not more.

Her attorneys, her so-called defense team, all screaming that it was hacked. But I`ve confirmed today that to this - at this time, no police report has been filed. Come on, A.J. How long would it take you to call the police if somebody broke into your computer -

HAMMER: Yes.

GRACE: And posted it on the Internet. There`s no police report that has been filed and no DMCA report. You can Google that. It`s really easy to file. You don`t even need a lawyer when your computer has been hacked. Nothing.

So their claims that it was hacked don`t ring true. Also, I had the family on, the Brileys, that first posted this. And they have offered up their computers to tot mom`s defense team to prove they didn`t hack it and have challenged them to hand over tot mom`s computers. Of course, their challenge has gone unanswered.

HAMMER: Yes. And Cheney Mason, of course, attorney for Casey Anthony -

GRACE: Wait a minute. Is that the one that shot a bird at the camera? Yes, go ahead.

HAMMER: Yes. Yes, exactly. Here`s what Cheney is saying, because it`s still a great mystery as to how these tapes got out. But Cheney is saying Casey has maintained notes and memoirs for her personal counseling.

She did not upload or release this to YouTube. She doesn`t know how the video got on YouTube. She did not authorize it, and therefore it had to be obtained illegally.

OK, Nancy. The website called "Boycott Casey Anthony," the guy who runs that, claims he found the videos on a pay-per-view site. So to our next SHOWBIZ mystery, how in the world did the tapes get out?

GRACE: Well, I tell you, it seems to me - and I`ve interviewed both Jon and Holly Briley. They`re married. They run the "Boycott Casey Anthony" Web site. And they swear that they had nothing to do with any hacking, that they found it online on pay-per-view sites.

And again, they offered up their computers for review. And it`s very easy to tell forensically where someone has been, what Web sites they have gone to on a computer.

But bottom line, don`t you think, A.J., just common sense, that if somebody were going to get into her computer and release something, it wouldn`t be her pointing to her nose and talking about her body piercing. It would be something, you know, intrinsically involved in little Caylee`s murder.

HAMMER: But here`s what I`m having a hard time figuring out, Nancy. What would Casey end gain be if she is really the one who`s behind the leak?

Obviously, she`s still completely radioactive, and here we are, full six months after she was acquitted. So our next huge SHOWBIZ mystery tonight - is there any way at this point that Casey can cash in? Because you know she wants that payday.

GRACE: There is a way she can cash in. And when people say, "Why? Why would she leak a video of herself?" I ask you, A.J., why should she be in a mini skirt, a push-up bra and go-go boots right after her daughter went missing or was killed in all those shots we saw of her, the party pics? Why?

I don`t know why. Why do I need to know why? I can`t get in her head, nor can anybody except a team of shrinks from Vienna. But I`m telling you why I think it is and it`s not because of anything to do with self analysis.

It has to do with self-aggrandizement and self-promotion. I`m thinking maybe a reality series, or somehow generating more interest - kind of like a sizzle reel or a teaser of some type of a show or book to come.

And she can cash in, because under Florida Son of Sam laws, it states very clearly a felon - felon cannot cash in. She`s only convicted of a misdemeanor, so she can make all the money she wants to.

HAMMER: And if she does, good luck to whoever gives her that check, writes her that check no matter how they do it. Very quickly, Nancy. Do you think Casey has blown her cover? Because a lot of people say we know her location now.

GRACE: Well, according to a lot of Web sites, she`s been spotted at bars, taverns, allegedly churches - hard to believe.

HAMMER: Yes.

GRACE: The Olive Garden. She`s all over the place. Photos are popping up all over. It`s hard to believe that she`s really in fear of her life when she`s spotted out frequently. And she`s taking photos of herself and videos of herself and apparently leaking them.

HAMMER: All right. Nancy Grace, as always, thank you so much for being here.

GRACE: Thanks, friend.

HAMMER: There are brand-new fireworks in the Katy Perry divorce drama. So is Katy Perry at war with her parents? Katy speaks out for the very first time. And is Russell Brand furious at the tabloids?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

FALLON: This is the newest of the newest "Us Weekly." And what do I see on the cover? But it`s me. A picture of me and Katy Perry. What does it say? "Married to a crazy man."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: So spot on. You`ve got to see Jimmy Fallon`s unbelievable spoof as Russell Brand reacting to headlines about his split.

A rainbow connection through a SHOWBIZ viral video. A fan asks "Muppet Movie" star, Jason Segel, on a date with a serenade, and he accepts.

(MUSIC)

Wait until you see what Jason did to make this young lady`s dream come true. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN news and views.

Time now for the "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" - more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news tonight.

TEXT: Fox reveals "Glee" spin-off not happening - all characters to stay in the show. Jonah Hill tells SHOWBIZ about his friendship with "Moneyball" co-star, Brad Pitt.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JONAH HILL, ACTOR: We knew one another before, but I wouldn`t say we were friends. We were, you know, cool with each other. And then through the course of the movie, we definitely formed a friendship.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

FALLON: Married to a crazy man. Really? I`m a crazy man? Do these look like the eyes of a crazy man to you?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: I mean, that is spot-on, right? Jimmy Fallon there. A hilarious impression of Russell Brand reading headlines about his marriage to Katy Perry. Russell Brand is not Jimmy Fallon, because that, of course, fell apart.

Is that what Russell is really thinking? It`s unclear. But tonight, we do know what Katy`s parents are thinking.

Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer with the big spin.

Tonight, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT is bringing you Katy Perry`s first big public comment about her divorce. And this really struck me as odd. The target appears to be not Russell, but her parents, basically shutting them down for talking about her marriage to Russell Brand breaking down.

Now, her parents appeared to use Katy`s message of heartache in a preaching moment in church. Her mom had this zinger last week that caught my eye. Listen to what she said in church, "I`m sure Katy is trending on the Internet just to get you to church tonight."

And this is what her dad said, "What has taken place in my daughter`s life has opened up many opportunities to go in and be with guarded and gated people." Whatever that means.

With me tonight in New York is SHOWBIZ spin doctor himself, Howard Bragman, the vice chairman of the incredible "Reputation.com."

Obviously, Katy Perry is not happy with her parents right now. She really appears to - they appear to be capitalizing on her split from Russell Brand after they were married just 14 months.

And Katy didn`t hide her fury at all when she sent out this tweet. She wrote, "Concerning the gossip, I want to be clear that no one speaks for me, not a blog, magazine, close sources or my family."

Now, Howard, if you were Katy`s spin doctor, would you have been OK with Katy sending out that tweet? Minute to spin it, Howard.

HOWARD BRAGMAN, VICE CHAIRMAN, "REPUTATION.COM": I love that Katy sent out the tweet. Her parents were not only proselytizing, which is kind of distasteful, but they`re using their own daughter`s break-up for their personal gain, and I can`t stand it.

It`s very common for celebrities` family members to put stuff out, and we live in a world where it goes viral quickly. This is her attempt to own it. To say, "This is my story. It`s mine. Ignore everybody else,` I`m proud of her. She did it right, A.J.

HAMMER: Yes, I agree with you. I think distasteful nails it on the head. Why would you do that? I really wonder what that relationship is all about. At least her soon-to-be ex-husband Russell Brand is keeping this mouth shut and that actually kind of surprised a lot of people, I think.

But he`s not talking about why their marriage ended. However, leave it to the great Jimmy Fallon to do a spot-on impression of what he thinks Russell would be saying about all the reports that are out there that have been painting him as the bad guy or actually the crazy guy who Katy Perry was married to. Watch this from "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." This is great.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

FALLON: Hello again. I`m actor, comedian and noted lothario, Russell Brand. And my new obsession is the newest of the newest "Us Weekly."

And what do I see on the cover? But it`s me, a picture of me and Katy Perry. And what does it say? "Married to a crazy man." Really? I`m a crazy man? Do these look like the eyes of a crazy man to you? Do they?

Salacious. Look she has pink in her hair. She once wore this as a hat. And I`m the crazy person. Well, you be the judge. I`m not a judge. Clearly, I didn`t go to school. I don`t wear robes. I don`t have a powdered wig and uphold the law. I don`t have a gavel.

Oh, I do have a gavel, OK? It was very useful, you know. I employ to tenderize chicken and other assorted meats. Exciting. What else do we have here? Let`s leak through the periodical - page 42.

What tore them apart? Bad boy Russell Brand and California girl Katy Perry. Is this how a bad boy dresses? Like a "Game of Thrones" characters, Dr. Jay Crew(ph). And look here at page 43, the two pictures side-by-side. These are the pictures you choose?

Is it really fair? It`s Katy in a skimpy bikini in all her magnificence, womanly voluptuousness. Meanwhile, look at me. I look like a hipster version of Ebenezer Scrooge, right next to Ebenezer Booze.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: He nailed it, right, Howard?

BRAGMAN: Credit to Jimmy Fallon`s writers. It was brilliant.

HAMMER: A-plus.

BRAGMAN: They got it. Yes, he got it.

HAMMER: SHOWBIZ spin Dr. Howard Bragman, thank you so much. Great to see you as always.

BRAGMAN: Thank you.

HAMMER: Well, no spin doctor is needed for a Jason Segel fan who got the date of her lifetime through this incredible SHOWBIZ viral video. I have to show you this thing.

College grad Chelsea Gil posted a really fun serenade asking the "Muppets Movie" star out for drinks. And I`ve got to tell you that it worked.

(MUSIC)

HAMMER: Yes. And it is an awesome song. And to Chelsea`s surprise, Jason actually posted her video on his Twitter page and he called his favorite thing, as he put it, maybe ever.

He said he would respond, and well, did he ever. He took Chelsea and her twin sister out for drinks. And then they went to the Chicago Film Critics Award over the weekend and he tweeted the photo.

Can we put that up here? He said, "Chelsea Gil, who wrote the great song and her twin sister and I at Comedy Awards. I`m not sure which is which."

Chelsea tells her university newspaper which is "The Indiana Daily Student" and she says, "I`m probably the luckiest person in the world." Nice going all around there.

Well, a drill sergeant dance instructor, a bunch of little girls. And yes, you get a whole lot of drama. I`m talking about "Dance Moms," of course. Have you seen this? How do these tiny dancers handle all that yelling?

I`ve got two of the stars of "Dance Moms" right here to tell us next. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN news and views.

This is "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" - more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news tonight.

TEXT: Lady Antebellum`s Hillary Scott marries drummer Chris Tyrrel. Snoop Dogg arrested in Texas on marijuana charges.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You know what, the kid needs somebody.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How dare you? How dare you?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She needs help. She needs you to be here.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Abby. Abby -

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Wow. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) one bit, does she? That is Lifetime`s hit reality show "Dance Moms." It follows young dancers who are trying to make it in the world of competitive dance.

But when you have an abrasive dance instructor and a bunch of opinionated mothers, well, let`s just say that creates a whole lot of drama. It`s our SHOWBIZ reality check tonight - dance drama.

Season two of "Dance Moms" premieres tomorrow night on Lifetime. Here with me, I`m so thrilled to have two stars from the show, 10-year-old dancer, Chloe and mom, Christi.

It`s great to meet you both. You have so much energy. I totally appreciate that. Talk about energy, though, for a second, Christi. Abby, the dance instructor on the show, boy can she yell at these kids.

CHRISTI, REALITY TV STAR, "DANCE MOMS": Oh, tell me about it.

HAMMER: You kind of think a lot of people have a real problem with that. Is she a bully?

CHRISTI: Yes. Abby`s absolutely a bully. I think I called her a bully five times this season already. I don`t know. She has a different way of approaching children. And you know, but the end result is she produces amazing dancers.

HAMMER: Yes. Obviously there`s a reason she does it because she wants to get the best she can out of you. But how do you feel when she yells at you like that? You know, the way I look at it, if anybody is going to yell at you in life, maybe you your mom can get away with it from time to time.

CHRISTI: I don`t yell at you like that. It`s Abby.

HAMMER: So how does that make you feel?

CHLOE, REALITY TV STAR, "DANCE MOMS": It`s a little tough, but I know she`s just trying to make you into the best dancer that you can. But sometimes she can be really tough.

HAMMER: Yes.

CHLOE: You just have to bring it in one ear and let it out the other and keep going.

HAMMER: And at the end of the day, any regrets?

CHRISTI: No, I don`t regrets. I can`t think that way. It`s like I`ve always kind of thought, you know, I`m doing what I think is the best thing.

HAMMER: Sure.

CHRISTI: So if I`m going back and saying I have regrets, then that negates all that, so no. I think Chloe speaks for herself. She`s a beautiful dancer.

HAMMER: She is.

CHRISTI: She`s a wonderful young lady.

CHLOE: Thank you.

HAMMER: And we want to see what happens this season. Thanks for being here, guys. Season two of "Dance Mom" premieres tomorrow night on Lifetime.

Now, cover your ears for just a moment, please, because there is no dancing, just romancing for Gene Simmons.

Chloe, ears are covered. Rocker Gene Simmons revealing why he thinks sex trumps romance in marriage. I`ll tell you what he said.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HAMMER: Gene Simmons doesn`t want a romance all night. He would rather have sex every day. The KISS bassist has just revealed that key to keeping his marriage to his new wife, Shannon Tweed, happy is sex. Romance, not so much.

Here`s what Gene tells "HollyScoop.com." He says, "Romance is interesting, but somebody much more prolific than I am put it better. She should be a Madonna in the kitchen and a (EXPLETIVE DELETED) in the bedroom." All right.

Well, Shannon had been with Gene for 28 years before they got married in October. She pretty much agreed. She says, "You have to keep having sex in different ways."

If you`re wondering about what the kids think, well, Shannon says they`re grown kids. They`re old enough to know that they should leave the house if they hear noises coming from the upstairs. Good for them.

That is it for SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer. Catch SHOWBIZ TONIGHT weeknights, 11:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific here on HLN.
