And is Madonna saying, give me more Britney Spears? Are these two really about to work together again?
Hello, I`m A.J. Hammer, broadcasting tonight and every night from New York City.
ANDERSON: Hi there, everyone. I`m Brooke Anderson coming to you from Hollywood. And tonight, Madonna and Britney, together again.
HAMMER: Now, we are not talking about Madonna and Britney making out in a lip lock again in front of the whole world. But wait until you hear what Madonna is saying about Britney now.
ANDERSON: But first, what do you get when you combine Paris Hilton with a beauty pageant? In this case, wild turkey. Tonight, Paris Hilton has completed her historic, ground-breaking, unprecedented, headline-making trip to Turkey to judge Miss Turkey. And if you`re waiting for the punchline, sorry, that was it. Paris judging Miss Turkey. You know, did I mention the belly dancing? Tonight, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT with the night in Turkey that really got Paris cooking.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(voice over): We will never forget the absolute chaos that broke out when the Beatles landed in New York in 1964. Well, forget the British invasion. The nation of Turkey is now going through its very own Paris invasion.
Yes, it`s Paris does Turkey. As the hard partying heiress` latest international trip becomes a story complete with violence, beauty queens, babies and unfortunately televised dancing.
JO PIAZZA, "NEW YORK DAILY NEWS": I don`t think that the nation of Turkey should forgive us for exporting Paris Hilton to their country. I think they`ll send her back and impose sanctions soon.
ANDERSON: Paris went to Istanbul to judge the Miss Turkey beauty pageant. And when she arrived at the airport, she touched off massive - um, when`s Turkish for pandemonium?
A bloody brawl erupted as photographers literally fought to get the first pictures of Paris` Turkey trip. Check out this guy. He actually uses the camera as a weapon. Dude, that`s no way to get a good picture.
PIAZZA: They don`t care. They`ll throw cameras, they`ll throw elbows. It just means a lot to get close to her.
ANDERSON: If you thought the scene in the airport was ugly, wait until you see what once Paris made it to the pageant.
HILTON: All the girls are so beautiful. It is hard to pick.
ANDERSON: As we see in the YouTube video, Paris went on stage to perform a little belly dance. Hmm. Is there a Turkish version of dancing with the stars?
PIAZZA: I`m going to give Paris probably a C minus for the dancing over in Turkey.
ANDERSON: But Paris says her Turkey trip is about more than brawls and bad dancing. It is also about boosting her rep. In Turkey, she told Reuters, quote, "I work very hard and I`ve built this empire on my own. I think this is an inspiration for a lot of girls out there."
PIAZZA: I think that parents across the country are obviously saying, "I hope that my little girl grows up, makes a sex tape and goes to prison."
ANDERSON: But the sad fact is whether it`s in Japan, China, or Turkey, Paris Hilton gets this kind of frenzied adulation wherever she goes.
PIAZZA: She is better loved abroad than she is in her own country.
ANDERSON: Proof positive even in Turkey the mysterious and disturbing celebrity of Paris Hilton is hard to shake.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
HAMMER: And she`s shaking her hips. I can`t stop shaking my head. Can you believe Paris actually drives the crowds crazy at the airport and then helps pick the next Miss Turkey? Just too much for me to handle.
So joining me tonight to help me out, Howard Bragman, the founder of Fifteen Minutes Public Relations, and CNN "American Morning" correspondent for entertainment, the lovely Lola Ogunnaike.
So, Paris, as we know, has been claiming ever since she got out of the slammer that, you know, she`s working on her image. She wants to improve what people think of her. But Howard, Mr. PR Guy, judging Miss Turkey we the belly dancers? Hello?
HOWARD BRAGMAN, FOUNDER, FIFTEEN MINUTES PUBLIC RELATIONS: A.J., it takes one to know one, doesn`t it? You know, in our business, we have a phrase for this - it`s called, "believing your own press." And I think Paris thinks she is exporting the goodness of America to the world. And we`re glad she is in Turkey. It`s made the streets of America a little safer for another week.
HAMMER: Well now, when we saw the chaos and the bedlam that ensued in Turkey. I think you have an excellent point there. Lola, you`d have to believe that even Paris Hilton who may not have a whole ton of thoughts going on upstairs, she would realize that judging Miss Turkey would make her - and pardon this expression - a sitting duck for a big punchline.
LOLA OGUNNAIKE, ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT, "AMERICAN MORNING": But that is the great thing about Paris, that`s why she is a gift that keeps on giving. Because she has no shame, A.J. This girl has gone to jail. This girl appeared on a sex tape. And yet, there she is, belly dancing, when she knows that the best dance move is the horizontal mambo.
HAMMER: So what you`re saying, Lola is I`m underestimating the true gem that is Paris Hilton?
OGUNNAIKE: She is like a superhero. You throw a kryptonite at her. She doesn`t get sick. She doesn`t fall down at all. She gets stronger and stronger. Any chance to humiliate herself in her mind is a chance of greater success, greater prominence and she is going to take it. So she has to do a ridiculous belly dance in Turkey, knowing that those moves are letter left better to Beyonce or Shakira, she going to do it. Whatever`s going to generate press, she loves it.
HAMMER: I appreciate your insight, Lola. Here`s what I`m thinking, if I may., I think Paris may just be delusional. The fact that while she was in Turkey doing what she was doing, she actually insisted that she`s a role model for young girls. Listen to what she said in an interview.
Quote, "I don`t pay attention to lies because I`m a good person. I work very hard and I`ve built this empire on my own. I think this is an inspiration for a lot of girls out there."
All right. May I do a little recap at this time? She made the famous sex tape. She was arrested for the DUI. She spent time in jail. Howard, I`d have to imagine all the parents of those young girls that she is talking about would beg to differ about the whole roll role model idea.
BRAGMAN: Yes, but many of the young girls themselves are going Paris is so cool. I mean where do you think Kim Kardashian came from? She`s a Paris clone. And the girls are going, "If Kim Kardashian can do it, I can do it." And they see the road to hell is paved with bad intentions here. So parents, this is a very good moment to talk to your kid about a thing we call values here.
HAMMER: Lola would you at least subscribe to that, please?
OGUNNAIKE: I completely agree. I think Paris is a model of a what-not-to- do. At least she`s getting paid to make a fool of herself and be ridiculous. But I think many thinking parents and many thinking little girls out there are looking at her and saying, "Hmm, I`d like to keep my clothes on. Uh-huh. I`d alike to stay out of prison."
HAMMER: Yes. I mean building an empire is certainly one thing. Building it the way she did it, not really the road to travel.
OGUNNAIKE: Yes.
HAMMER: That`s where I think we`re all sitting together tonight.
OGUNNAIKE: You don`t have to be horizontal to build an empire. You can be vertical.
HAMMER: Excellent little mantra to live by there, Lola. I love that. Now we saw that when Paris arrived in Turkey, there was a mob scene. Can we show that again, please? Because these fights breaking out among the paparazzi. People slamming each other with the cameras. Howard, I can understand it happening in Beverly Hills, you know down on Robertson or something - but Turkey? Do you get it?
BRAGMAN: Do you think Brad and Angelina and do you think these big stars are fighting to go to Turkey? This is a big deal to Turkey. You know, the one thing America exports really well is pop culture.
And everybody knows Paris the world over. They knew the Hilton name, from the hotels and now they know Paris. This is a big deal in Turkey and I`m thinking maybe she should live there. You know, George Bush goes to Albania. He is a hero. She`s finally found a country that loves her.
HAMMER: Then I agree with you. Maybe she should just stay. Howard Bragman, Lola Ogunnaike, I thank you both.
Now, coming up at 30 minutes past the hour. Here`s what we`re going to do. We`re going to turn the tables on Paris. You`re not going to want to miss this because our fired-up panel judging Miss Paris on poise, interview - and talent? How did that get in there? It is a pageant like you have never seen and that is coming up.
Well, talk about provocative. Do you remember when Madonna and Britney Spears did that little kiss at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards? Yes.
Well, tonight, here`s a question for you. Is Madonna saying give me more Britney? Will these two actually hook up again? The only way to find out is to keep it right here. That`s next.
Also this -
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DAVID CAPLAN, STAFF EDITOR, "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE: It looks like he had a chemical peel, that he had cheek implants. His whole face looks completely restructured.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Shocking star plastic surgery secrets. Not just Priscilla Presley with a horror story of going under knife. You`ve got to see these. The good, the bad and the nip and tuck nightmares.
Also, Colin Farrell opens up like never before about his battle with alcohol and that infamous sex tape. You`ll want to get a bar of soap ready because Colin is doing some cussing. You don`t want to miss it, coming up on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
ANDERSON: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, TV`s most provocative entertainment news show. I`m Brooke Anderson in Hollywood with two big stories that are new right now that we`ve just got to tell you about, including Madonna`s confessions about Britney Spears. Wait until you hear what Madonna said about being a huge Britney fan and why her 11-year-old daughter Lourdes wants to protect Britney.
Also new tonight, Lindsay Lohan has signed on to star on a film to star about Charles Manson on the same day her movie "Chapter 27" is hitting in the theaters and getting trashed.
Joining us from Hollywood is CNN entertainment correspondent, Kareen Wynter. Also in Hollywood tonight, Kim Serafin, senior editor for "In Touch Weekly." Kareen, Kim, good to see you both.
And hey, Madonna really opened up about Britney in a brand new interview on New York`s "Z-100" radio show saying, "I actually love Britney Spears` new album. I listen to that a lot. I usually work out to her record. I do a combination of Pilates and dance aerobics." Whatever she`s doing, she looks amazing but I digress.
All right. Of course, Britney, we know, had a workout of sorts with Madonna with that infamous kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards. Kim, could a reunion with Madonna be exactly what Britney needs?
KIM SERAFIN, SENIOR EDITOR, "IN TOUCH WEEKLY": Well, I think it`s definitely a good sign that Madonna is talking about Britney again. I mean, if you remember, I think it was Madonna initially that kind of attached herself to Britney back a few years ago and maybe Madonna wasn`t quite as relevant. And then teamed up with Britney. They did a song together, the video together, the MTV awards. So I think that`s a good sign for Britney because Madonna - she`s not going to attach herself to a loser, to someone whose career is not going anywhere. So I think this is something that`s really good for Britney and for Madonna, too. I mean I think everyone would love to see another collaboration between the two of them. I think it would be great.
ANDERSON: Maybe both could benefit. And you know, in another interview, in our good friend Michael Yo`s fabulous satellite radio show, "Yo on E!," Madge talked about Britney and her own daughter Lourdes` thoughts on Britney.
She said this, "She knows Britney, but doesn`t catch all that gossip stuff. So I think she sort of gets the drift of what`s going on and I think she`s kind of protective of Britney."
Kareen, I`ve got to say I find it kind of surprising that she`s bringing Lourdes into the discussion about Britney. She is just 11 years old - Lourdes. And what do you think she meant by "protective of Britney?"
KAREEN WYNTER, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: Well, you know, it`s kind of ironic here that I found. Here you have a little 11-year-old, Brooke, right, being protective of someone more than twice her age. But hey, she is Madonna`s kid, you know. She`s also no fool.
She`s growing up in front of the cameras, lived her life in the spotlight. The paparazzi following her everywhere so she knows the challenges, the hurdles that come with that. And probably she probably can relate to the fact Britney probably has a tough time in the media being a tabloid target so not only is it cute but you know what? It just shows Spears has so many fans. This one just happens to be famous.
ANDERSON: Absolutely. Madonna, very protective of Britney, it sounds like.
OK. I want to move now to our next story that`s new right now. Lindsay Lohan`s new film "Chapter 27" about John Lennon`s assassin, Mark David Chapman. I would say it got trashed but that would be kind. I read a lot of reviews about this one and the one premier rogue just summed it up.
Listen to this, "Visually ugly, morally non-existent, and a complete black hole in the departments of insight and wit. `Chapter 27` is quite possibly the most godawful irredeemable film to yet emerge in the 21st century."
Wow! Kareen, unfortunately, you`ve seen this film. Is it as bad as all that?
WYNTER: No. Absolutely not, Brooke. It was worse. I couldn`t - I couldn`t sit through it. OK? Let me be real with you, OK? Thank goodness I had a chance to screen it at home so I kept getting up excuses to go get something out of the refrigerator, to use the bathroom. It was horrible.
And it wasn`t just the acting, I tell you. It was the fact that - OK, Jared Leto - he had to gain 67 pounds for the role. I thought that the producers, the directors - they were kind of going out of their way to show him on various states of undress. His bulging belly as he`s coming out of the back, his unflattering backside. - horrible all over and I think the public will agree if they do decide to see it.
ANDERSON: Not one redeeming quality, apparently. All right. We`ll leave it there. Kareen Wynter, Kim Serafin, thank you both.
OK, you know, Kevin Federline has been spending a lot of time with Britney. So we had to ask you, do you think they should get back together? I am totally shocked at the poll results. You got to stick around for this. That`s next.
And also this -
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CAPLAN: His face looks completely different. It looks like he`s had some sort of face lift, chemical peel, definitely some surgery around his eyes. He just went full on with all the surgery.
(END VIDEO CLIP) HAMMER: Shocking star plastic surgery secrets. Tonight, I`ve got to tell you, it`s not just Presley with a horror story of going under the knife. You have got to see these. We`ve got the good, the bad and the nip and tuck nightmares all coming up.
And we just told you the unbelievable story of Paris Hilton judging the Miss Turkey contest. Well, coming up, we`re turning the tables on her. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT judges Miss Paris on poise, interview and talent. Yes, it`s a pageant that will leave you speechless.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York. Tonight, the big question - are Britney Spears and Kevin Federline thinking of getting back to together?
In a brand new interview with "In Touch Weekly," K-Fed reveals they have gotten close again. But let me tell you that SHOWBIZ TONIGHT viewers are saying, "No! Please, don`t do it!"
With us once again in Hollywood, "In Touch Weekly`s" senior editor, Kim Serafin. Also back with us, CNN entertainment correspondent Kareen Wynter.
Guys, you`ve got to take a look at this. Now Thursday, we asked people to vote on our SHOWBIZ TONIGHT question of the day. Here`s what we wanted to know - "Britney Spears and Kevin Federline: Should they get back together?" Take a look at this: with an overwhelming response, 80 percent said no; 20 percent said yes.
Kareen, why do you think there`s such a strong feeling against them hooking back up?
WYNTER: A.J., I`m right there with the majority of the viewers. I think it`s the last thing that Britney Spears needs to be doing is playing house again with her ex, OK? They`re still involved in this heated custody battle in court. It`s fine, it`s great that they`re chummy, chummy, but you know what Britney, you`re on your way to a nice little comeback. The last thing you need is a distraction. So I don`t think it`s a good idea.
HAMMER: The E-mails came in on both sides, too. We heard from Ed in Pennsylvania. He wrote in that he thinks they`d be doomed again, saying, quote, "No. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline shouldn`t get back together. They wouldn`t make it."
We also heard from Brooke in Georgia. She disagrees, E-mailing SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, "I think it would benefit the entire family of Brit and Kevin do get back together. They need each other." Kim, does Brooke in Georgia have it right? I mean as crazy as it sounds to me, would the family be better off if K-Fed and Brit got married again?
SERAFIN: I kind of don`t agree with the poll. I mean first of all, in the interview that Kevin did with "In Touch" he doesn`t say they`re getting back together. But he did say in the past couple of months, they have been talking again mainly for the sake of the kids.
And honestly, reading this article, I was thinking - and blame this on me living in L.A. too long maybe. But I was thinking why can`t I find a nice guy like Kevin? He is really - No, I`ll tell you, he talks about being there for the kids. The kids are his life. His family is the most important thing for him. And if you remember -
HAMMER: All right, maybe we`re way off.
SERAFIN: Yes, and Britney really started going -
HAMMER: I`ve got to wrap you up there. Kim Serafin, Kareen Wynter, thanks so much for joining us.
Now remember, for the latest breaking Britney news and video, click on the Britney Drama section of our Web site, CNN.com/ShowbizTonight.
ANDERSON: Well, I`ve got to say Britney has calmed down a lot since her parents got more involved. Can`t really say the same about Paris Hilton. I mean, she just judged the Miss Turkey contest. Huh? Well, tonight we`re turning the tables on her. Coming up, judging Miss Paris on poise, on interview and - um, talent? It`s a pageant like you have never seen.
Also this -
CAPLAN: It looks like he had a chemical peel, that he had cheek implants. His whole face looks completely restructured.
Yikes. Shocking star plastic surgery secrets. Tonight, I got to tell you, it`s not just Priscilla Presley with a horror story in going under the knife. Wait until you see these. Wow, the good, the bad and the nip and tuck nightmares. Those are all coming up.
Also, Colin Farrell opens up like never before and I mean never about his battle with alcohol and that infamous sex tape. You may want to keep a bar of soap handy because Colin - well, he is doing some cussing. That is coming up on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
ANDERSON: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m Brooke Anderson. And here are some more stories that are new right now. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama stopped by "The View" today and he tackled all kinds important issues. But before things got too serious, he just had to talk about something that`s been on everybody`s mind.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOY BEHAR, CO-HOST, "THE VIEW": I understand that you`re related to Brad Pitt in some way?
SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D-IL), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Actually, yes.
BEHAR: How are you related to Brad Pitt?
OBAMA: I guess we`re ninth cousins, something removed or something.
BEHAR: Isn`t that fascinating.
OBAMA: I think he got the - he got the better looking side of the gene pool.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: And as we also already know, the researchers at the New England Historic Genealogy Society say Hillary Clinton is related to Angelina Jolie.
And some folks in Kansas are really outraged, wondering if they were duped by "Borat," Sacha Baron Cohen. Take a look at this video from Mid- Continent Airport in Wichita. Officials there gave permission to a European film crew to shoot a documentary. But then the crew started stripping right by a security check point. It looks like it could be Cohen could be playing Bruno, a gay fashion host. But no one is admitting anything.
HAMMER: I think we know what`s going on there. Well, Brooke, no duping here. Coming up next, we`ve got an outrageous pageant like you have never seen before. Now, I told you about the Miss Turkey pageant that Paris Hilton judged. Well next, we have got fired-up panel judging Miss Paris Hilton on poise, interview and talent.
We`ve also got this -
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CAPLAN: His face looks completely different. It looks like he`s had some sort of face lift, chemical peel, definitely some surgery around his eyes. He just went full on with all the surgery.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Shocking star plastic surgery secrets tonight. Not just Priscilla Presley with a horror story of going under the knife. You just got to see these - the good, the bad and the nip and tuck nightmares, coming up.

(MUSIC)
Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. It is 30 minutes past the hour. I`m A.J. Hammer, broadcasting tonight and every night from New York City.
ANDERSON: And I`m Brooke Anderson, coming you tonight from Hollywood. This is TV`s most provocative entertainment news show.
Tonight, a showbiz special report, judging Miss Paris. As we have mentioned, Paris Hilton was a judge Thursday at the Miss Turkey 2008 pageant. Yes, Paris and Miss turkey. So, we here at SHOWBIZ TONIGHT got to thinking, maybe we should stage our own pageant starring Paris. She`s got poise, talent and she`s always ready to give a memorable interview, right?
Joining us tonight from Hollywood, host of "Yo on E," on XMN Sirius Satellite Radio, Michael Yo. From Chicago tonight, host of "CelebTV.com," Kelly Zinc. And in Hollywood, founder of Fifteen Minutes Public Relations, Howard Bragman. Actually, Howard, you are in New York. Great to see you all, guys.
And first up, the talent portion for judging Miss Paris. You know, when that girl hears music, she`s just got to move. Take a look at when she got on stage for some belly dancing at the Miss Turkey pageant.
(VIDEO OF PARIS HILTON DANCING AT THE MISS TURKEY PAGEANT)
ANDERSON: So Michael, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, judge Miss Paris in the talent portion of the competition here.
MICHAEL YO, HOST, "YO ON E": I`m so excited. I even brought my numbers. I`ll give her a 2.
ANDERSON: A 2?
YO: A 2 for Miss Paris Hilton. Yes. You know what? She can`t dance. We saw that in that video. We saw it at a club. She couldn`t dance, as well. Plus, one more thing, she can`t sing either to go with the dancing so I give her a 2 for at least trying. At least she`s putting an effort out there. That`s what I say.
ANDERSON: OK. A 2 for effort. Kelly, 1 to 10, what do you say and why?
KELLY ZINC, HOST, "CELEBTV.COM": Brooke, I give Paris an 8. And I`ll tell you why.
ANDERSON: Whoa.
ZINC: I`ll tell you why - because every good performer has a theme. And Paris Hilton`s theme is no matter where she is, she rocks it and does the hair flip. You know, she does this whole thing and she`s got her weave and extensions in her eye. She`s always solid; we can count on it. I give her an 8.
ANDERSON: I don`t know what hair flipping counts in terms of talent. Howard, what do you think? Tell us how you would grade her.
BRAGMAN: You know, we know Paris has a talent. I couldn`t decide between a 6 and a 9.
ANDERSON: Oh no.
BRAGMAN: So we know she has some talent there.
ANDERSON: You went down with that, Howard. Yes, you did. I don`t - I`m not even going to comment on that one. But, you know, this isn`t the first time that we have seen Paris display her dancing talent. There was the burlesque dancing recently in Vegas at a party. How does that performance compare to belly dancing in Turkey, Michael?
YO: You know what? I think all dancing is bad from Paris Hilton. I love the girl. She is so nice. But she just can`t dance or sing. Any time she goes out there and tries to dance, she embarrasses herself. So she just needs to quit dancing and just walk down the runway or walk down a red carpet. That`s what she is best at.
ANDERSON: Kelly, what do you think? It looked a little bit more like writhing around to me than any sort of real dance technique.
ZINC: She should have definitely kept that in Vegas. Keep it there, you know, let it stay. But while we`re talking about the talent portion, why don`t you guys roll a clip from "The Hottie and the Nottie"? Because that`s Paris` true talent right there.
ANDERSON: Oh, sarcasm at the best. The next category, in the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT pageant, judging Miss Paris - poise. Paris was grace under pressure as she turned her walk from jail into a catwalk. She always seems to be poised, I suppose, when hounded by the paparazzi. Howard, what`s your take? How`s her poise?
BRAGMAN: I`m going to give her a 3. I`m an easy grader. OK? I think she is - she gets a 3 here. I mean, she`s relatively poised when she is doing things that others might find undignified, Brooke. So she gets 3 for that.
ANDERSON: Michael, your thoughts on Paris` poise. And I was actually there as she exited jail. What a joy that was, but she does know how to strut.
YO: Paris Hilton works it like nobody`s business down a catwalk, a red carpet. I give Paris out of the scale of 1 to 10 a 100 for walking down -
ANDERSON: What?
YO: Yes. She always looks good. She makes Tyra Banks, Jane Manuel(ph), anybody jealous the way she walks and the way - that`s what she is famous for. Walking down red carpets. So you`ve got to give her a high score on that.
ANDERSON: Off the charts with the poise there.
YO: Off the charts.
ANDERSON: She does keep her composure in most situations. I do want to quickly take a look at her on the red carpet at the Miss Turkey pageant. Kelly, how does this - quickly - compare to the walk out of the jailhouse?
ZINC: I agree with Michael. Paris always gets a big fat 10 on any carpet. I mean, she gets out of jail. She`s got no makeup. She looks fabulous. Her hair to the side. She knows her outfit. Whether she`s in another country or she`s getting out of jail, the girl always has her strut. She gets a big fat 10.
ANDERSON: A big fat 10. Well, guys, this pageant isn`t over yet. Stay right where you are with all the important grades and scores because we are doing the interview portion of the judging Miss Paris pageant, next. And I think it`s safe to say she`s not going to win Miss Congeniality in the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT beauty pageant. But we are going to tally up the final score, next. You don`t want to miss it.
Also this -
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CAPLAN: It looks like he had a chemical peel, that he had cheek implants. His whole face looks completely restructured.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Wow, stars under the knife. The nips and tucks, shots and surgeries. You know, it does not always make for a pretty picture. Showbiz investigates stars and plastic surgery. That is still to come.
ANDERSON: And Colin Farrell likes the four-letter words and dropped the f- bomb on me once live on CNN. But this time, he`s using those expletives talking about something pretty serious - his battle with drugs and alcohol, next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
ANDERSON: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, TV`s most provocative entertainment news show. I`m Brooke Anderson in Hollywood.
We are continuing our showbiz special report, judging Miss Paris. We`re turning the tables on Paris Hilton who just judged the Miss Turkey 2008 pageant.
Back again with us, are host of "Yo on E!," on XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, Michael Yo; host of "CelebTV.com," Kelly Zinc; and founder of Fifteen Minutes Public Relations, Howard Bragman.
All right. So far, we judged Paris on talent and poise. Our final category for judging Miss Paris - oh, the interview. Let`s take a look at Paris` now infamous interview with Larry King just days after getting out of jail.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KING: What is your favorite Bible passage?
HILTON: Hmm. I don`t have a favorite.
KING: You read it every day?
HILTON: In jail I read it a lot.
KING: Going to go to mass?
HILTON: Yes.
KING: All right. We are going to see a new Paris Hilton.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: Howard, she couldn`t come up with anything and she says she read the Bible a lot. What is your score?
BRAGMAN: You know, I do this for a living, Brooke. I prepare people. I have to give her a zero for her interview and for the follow-up for not knowing the Bible passage. Sorry, Paris, you get the goose egg.
ANDERSON: You get the goose egg there. Well, Kelly, I want to ask you to consider this. Paris reportedly said she loves South Africa and West Africa, that they`re both great countries. Except there`s a little problem here. West Africa, not a country. Kelly, your vote in the interview portion, please?
ZINC: Such a fan of Paris but this time I`m going to have to give her a 2. And, you know, Paris does have a good poker face. She`s able to look at Larry and tell him she`s going to turn her life around. She`s going to stop partying. I just have a feeling that her and Benji Madden aren`t exactly staying home and reading the Bible. So Paris, you get a 2.
ANDERSON: Michael, weigh with your score for interview.
YO: My score is a zero as well. Paris Hilton and Miss South Carolina need to hang out very soon. That`s all I have to say about that.
ANDERSON: And talk about geography. All right. So Michael, you weighed in with a total of 102 points. Wow. Kelly, 20 points from you. And Howard, just 12 points from you. Congratulations, Paris Hilton.
And guys, thanks for your time and thanks for judging and we`ll be sending you the judging Miss Paris board game in the mail very soon. Look out.
HAMMER: We have brand new breaking news about the bogus doctor who injected Priscilla Presley`s face with stuff that`s used in cars. Yes, I think this is insane. We`re going to tell you what`s going on with the so- called Dr. Jiffy Lube. That`s coming up.
We will also have this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CAPLAN: His face looks completely different. It looks like he`s had some sort of face lift, chemical peel, definitely some surgery around his eyes. He just went full on with all the surgery.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: When stars go under the knife, it isn`t always pretty. I wanted to know why do they do it with all of the risks involved? Coming up, showbiz investigates stars and plastic surgery.
HAMMER: And Colin Farrell is not one to hold back. Man, does this guy have a potty mouth. But this time he`s using all those colorful four- letter words to actually talk about something pretty serious - his struggle with alcohol and drugs. Oh, yes, and weighs in on the sex tape of his, too. You won`t want to miss it, coming up on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: The bogus doctor that injected Presley and other stars with silicone that used to lubricate car parts may be getting kicked out of the country.
Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York. All right. The guy we have come to know as Dr. Jiffy Lube has been arrested. His name is Dr. Daniel Serrano. He may not have actually have the Jiffy Lube logo on his face. And he`s being held by immigration officials. He could be deported to home country of Argentina.
Now, he is not a licensed doctor in the United States but didn`t stop him from working with celebrity clients like Priscilla Presley.
And this is just a latest case of star cosmetic surgery gone wrong. Tonight, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT investigates stars under the knife.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(voice over): From Jessica Simpson`s super sized lips to Axl Rose and Mickey Rourke`s freaky new faces, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can tell you Hollywood is full of plastic surgery success stories and nightmares.
CAPLAN: One of the worst Hollywood plastic surgery offenders is Axl Rose.
HAMMER: Axl Rose rose to fame in the 1980s as the lead singer of the widely popular rock group, Guns N` Roses.
(MUSIC)
Women loved him. Men wanted to be him. But by the late 1990s, Axl had become increasingly reclusive.
AXL ROSE, ROCK STAR: (UNINTELLIGIBLE)
HAMMER: He decided to disappear from the spotlight. In 2006, he reemerged looking like this.
CAPLAN: It looked like he had had a chemical peel, that he had cheek implants. His whole face looked completely restructured.
HAMMER: Even his hair looked different.
MOLLY GOODSON, BLOGGER, "POPSUGAR.COM": I was incredibly shocked to see Axl Rose when came out of the woodwork it seemed and just sort of re- established himself with this corn rows and his whole new appearance. I think a lot of his fans were shocked.
CAPLAN: Axl Rose used to be this really studly, hunky guy. But when he reemerged, he looked so artificial, so plastic it was scary, almost, for people to look at him.
HAMMER: If you are hoping to get an admission out of Axl, it`s not going to happen. He`s never said a word about his transformation, but Jessica Simpson has.
After much speculation about her noticeably fuller lips, Jessica is finally acknowledging she`s had injections in her lips, admitting to "Glamour" magazine, that, quote, "I had that Restylane stuff. It looked fake to me and I didn`t like that."
CAPLAN: When Jessica Simpson first landed on our radar, she was very au naturale girl next door. Then all of a sudden we saw Jessica with these bigger lips and they were even nicknamed trout pout.
HAMMER: Well, Jessica is saying so long to the trout pout. She says she`s stopped with the filler. But that admission got people asking, what else?
CAPLAN: When Jessica admitted she had Restylane, that opened the floodgates for people wondering, "OK. Is she going to admit some other plastic surgery she had. A lot of people were wondering had Jessica had breast implants.
HAMMER: Speculate all you want, but Jessica wants everyone to know, unlike her lips, those are real. But she tells "Harper`s Bazaar" magazine that she`s not ruling out plastic surgery in the future, because you never know what`s going to happen, saying, "Maybe after having kids, if my boobs dropped down to my belly button, I would get them lifted."
Patricia Heaton knows all about that. The "Everybody Loves Raymond" star says having four kids and four C-sections changed her body in ways she never imagined. So she went for a tummy tuck and a breast lift.
PATRICIA HEATON, ACTRESS: I nursed four very thirsty boys in quick succession. I`m 44 and my body was looking about 64, so I wanted to sort of have them meet.
HAMMER: Just like Cher, Sharon Osborne and Joan Rivers, Patricia Heaton isn`t shy when it comes to talking about her surgeries.
HEATON: I`ve seen enough actresses in magazines, who in Hollywood are known to have had surgeries, say that they haven`t had it or they`re afraid of surgery. And I kind of think it`s unfair because I have so many moms that come up to me say, "Oh, my god, I`ve had four C-sections also and I don`t look like you." And you know, to tell them, "Well, it`s just natural." I think that`s unfair.
HAMMER: Star Jones waited four years before telling the world that she had something done to her body. She went from 307 pound to her new stick thin figure because of gastric bypass surgery. She says she waited so long because she didn`t know how people would react. But SHOWBIZ TONIGHT found out her then-co-hosts on "The View" knew about it all along.
BARBARA WALTERS, CO-HOST, "THE VIEW": I`m very happy that Star has talked about her gastric bypass. We had all known about it when it happened. She asked us not to tell. She was our colleague and we didn`t.
HAMMER: Star may have hid her surgery, but SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can tell you there are plenty of other celebrities who have come right out to say surgery helped them slim down. "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson and weather man Al Roker(ph) each lost more than 100 pounds, thanks to gastric bypass surgery. So did Roseanne Barr. For Blues Traveler front man John Popper, the weight loss was more extreme.
JOHN POPPER, FRONT MAN, BLUES TRAVELER: I used to step on the gas station. Those little hoses go ding! Ding! I can make them go ding just by stepping on them.
HAMMER: Popper used to weigh over 400 pounds. But in 2000, he went under the knife and reemerged half his size.
POPPER: It saved my life. It was absolutely that simple.
HAMMER: But not every surgery is a success. Enter actor Mickey Rourke. You remember him from his leading man days. Well, have a look at him now. Rourke`s surgery started when he decided to fix his nose after a boxing injury. The nose job, though, was just the tip of the iceberg.
CAPLAN: His face looks completely different. It looks like he`s had some sort of face lift, chemical peel, definitely some surgery around his eyes. He just went full on with all the surgery.
HAMMER: Whether it`s the good, the bad, or the just plain ugly, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT is here to tell you, it looks like plastic surgery is one of the few things in Hollywood that will never go out of style.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
HAMMER: Well, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can tell you there are stars out there who say they will never go under the knife. In fact, actress Diane Lane happens to be one of them. Lane who`s in here 40s told "More" magazine that, you know, getting older is simply a part of life. Aging, she says, offers great lessons in dignity.
ANDERSON: Colin Farrell isn`t one to hold back and he`s got quite the potty mouth. As a matter of fact, he once struck the F-bomb on me live on CNN. But this time, he`s using all those colorful four-letter words to talk about something pretty serious - his struggle with alcohol and drugs. Oh, yes, and he weighs in on that sex tape of his, too. That`s still to come right here on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
ANDERSON: Time now for "Making It Work" and this is where we shine a spotlight on celebrity couples who manage to build strong relationships in Hollywood.
Tonight, Ashton Kutcher speaks out about his marriage to Demi Moore. Ashton has said that when he`s not out on a shoot, he`s home for family dinner every night at 6:00. That`s a strong foundation right there.
And in an interview with "V Man" magazine, Ashton says, quote, "I work really hard on myself to constantly become a better person and she does the same. And by doing so, we take responsibility for our actions and for one another, and we treat each other with reverence. We seek to make each other`s lives better. And by doing so, we share a really unique partnership."
For more with Ashton Kutcher, pick up a copy of "V Man" magazine. It`s on newsstands now.
HAMMER: Well, Colin Farrell is going off about everything from his battle with drugs and alcohol to his sex tape that made it on to the Internet.
In an interview with British "GQ" magazine, Colin says he went to rehab the night after the 2005 rap party for the "Miami Vice" movie that he was just broken. He says in some ways he misses the old days.
Quote, "I (EXPLETIVE DELETED) love to be able to drink. I would love to have a couple of nights (EXPLETIVE DELETED) howling at the moon and not just have a drink. I`d love to get (EXPLETIVE DELETED) up."
Colin says these days he blows off steam by going to Russian and Turkish baths in New York City. As for the sex tape with a playboy model, well, Colin says, quote, I should have just left my video camera at home. That`s all. That was an expensive (EXPLETIVE DELETED) 14 minutes, I`ll tell you.
And you can read the full interview with Colin Farrell in British "GQ" magazine on news stands now. Sounds familiar to you, Brooke.
ANDERSON: It does. The language, A.J. All right. On Thursday, we asked you to vote on our SHOWBIZ TONIGHT question of the day - "Britney Spears and Kevin Federline: Should they get back together." Check it out - only 20 percent of you say yes; 80 percent of you say no.
Here are some of the E-mails we received. Lisa from Kansas writes, "I don`t think Britney Spears should get back with K-Fed! That would be a big mistake!"
Annette from Texas says, "Britney and Kevin should get back together only if they really love each other, not just for the headlines." Good advice.
HAMMER: Yes. I think it is good advice. And that is it for SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I thank you for watching. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York.
ANDERSON: And I`m Brooke Anderson in Hollywood. Remember, you can always catch SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on the 11:00s - 11:00 p.m. Eastern, 11:00 p.m. Pacific, in the morning, 11:00 a.m. Eastern. The latest from "CNN HEADLINE NEWS" is next.
