(END VIDEO CLIP)

ANDERSON: Big controversy over Oscar hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway. Our SHOWBIZ Flashpoint today - how did they do?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
(on camera) I was on the red carpet as all the stars arrived for the Oscars and I could not believe what some of them told me.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: TV`s most provocative entertainment news show -
ANDERSON: Breaks news right now.
(MUSIC)
HAMMER: Hello. I`m A.J. Hammer in Hollywood with Brooke Anderson.
ANDERSON: And there is big news breaking today - Charlie`s manic Monday. Charlie Sheen`s life today officially turned into a story more bizarre, more strange, more wild than even Hollywood`s most creative scriptwriters could have ever come up with.
Charlie appeared this morning on, not one, but two nationally- televised interviews saying things so over-the-top, so incredible that I have to think that maybe, just maybe, he really did have some help from a Hollywood scriptwriter.
Talking about everything from being superhuman, having a superhuman ability, to getting high on drugs to new attacks on CBS for canceling his hit sitcom, "Two and a Half Men." So allow us to serve up a full plate of samples from Charlie`s manic Monday.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SHEEN: I am on a drug. It`s called Charlie Sheen. I`m tired of pretending like I`m not special. I`m tired of pretending like I`m not bitching, a total freaking rock star from Mars.
ANDREA CANNING, ABC CORRESPONDENT: Some are saying that you`re bipolar.
SHEEN: I`m bi-winning. I win here and I win there. Now, what? You borrow my brain for five seconds and you`ll just be like, "Here, dude. Can`t handle it. Unplug this bastard." Yes, because it just - it fires in a way that just - I don`t know - maybe not from this particular terrestrial realm.
ROSEN: Do you owe CBS an apology?
SHEEN: No, they owe me one big time, publicly, while licking my feet. Defeat is not an option to pick a fight with a warlock. Last time I was into drugs, I probably took more than anybody could survive. Man, I was banging seven-gram rocks and finishing because that`s how I roll.
ROSEN: Are you embarrassed that your children will read about this one day?
SHEEN: God, no. Talk about an education.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Wow, a mile a minute and from all kinds of different places. That`s just a sample. But now, let`s serve up the full plate. Get this - Charlie`s long-time publicist also quit today.
Jane Velez-Mitchell, host of "ISSUES WITH JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL" right here on HLN and author of a fabulous new book called "Addict Nation."
I`ve got to ask you what you make of all of these bizarre and really manic moments from Charlie today.
JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL, HOST, "ISSUES WITH JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL": Well, it would almost be funny if it weren`t so pathetic and frightening. He has absolutely no self-awareness, A.J., of how he is coming off.
In his sick addict brain, he is the super hero of this drama-rama and he is this rugged individualist who is standing up against the pod people. Those, by the way, are the boring normal people who follow the rules that he feels he doesn`t have to follow.
So there is this grandiosity, which is so classic with addiction. And there`s also this defiance, which is so classic with addiction. And he is truly, I think, heading toward the end game where he is almost not making any sense at all, where it`s really becoming just a fantasy in his head that has no bearing to reality.
HAMMER: Yes. Fantasy in his head because it really does seem, when you`re listening to him speak, all is well and the lights are shining bright in Charlie Sheen`s world.
And as if it couldn`t get any more bizarre, Charlie also revealed in his interview seen this morning with ABC`s Andrea Canning that the last time he did drugs, yes, it was a whole heck of a lot. Watch this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SHEEN: The last time did drugs, I probably took more than anybody could survive. You know -
CANNING: What are we talking about? How much?
SHEEN: I don`t know. I was banging seven-gram rocks and finishing them, because that`s how I roll. I have one speed. I have one gear. Go -
CANNING: How do you survive that?
SHEEN: Because I`m me. Because I`m me. I`m different. I just have a different constitution. I have a different brain. I have a different heart. I have a different - you know, I`ve got tiger blood, man.
CANNING: You don`t worry you`re going to die when you take that many drugs?
SHEEN: Dying is for fools.
CANNING: But you`re on human.
SHEEN: No, there are certain blends I will not entertain, because that`s how people go down. I`m too smart to do that.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: Charlie says dying is for fools and claims he`s now clean. He`s now cured. He even submitted to a drug test. And the results were revealed today on live TV. We`re going to get to those in just a minute.
But first, let`s bring in Ken Seeley, founder of "Intervention 911."
Ken, are you convinced that Charlie knows what he`s doing? I`m not, but he surely has convinced himself that everything is wonderful.
KEN SEELEY, FOUNDER, "INTERVENTION 911": No, he is so far in denial. I mean, this is the only disease that I know of that denial is the number one symptom. I mean, you`re seeing it. Everybody sees the symptoms except him.
And it`s heartbreaking because he`s so far into the disease it`s just a matter of time that he`s going to die. And we`ve got to jump in and we`ve got to intervene and get him into recovery.
ANDERSON: It`s like he won`t listen to anything, though, even when the reporters were saying, "How can you survive that? How can you think this is right?" He won`t listen.
SEELEY: He won`t listen and he`s not hearing. But there is a consequence. You know, jail is a consequence. You know, there is a consequence that he will listen to. We`ve just got to create that so it isn`t death.
ANDERSON: At some point. Jane, he sounds like - Charlie sounds like he`s kicked his drug habit. He`s kicked all the bad habits. But something isn`t right.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: He hasn`t kicked anything, Brooke. He may be white- knuckling it temporarily, but that`s very different from kicking a drug and finding a program of sobriety, which he clearly has not found.
Now, when TMZ asked him, "How long are you going to stay clean?" he said, "I don`t know. That`s up to me." What that tells me is anytime he`s getting the urge, he could easily go back, so he hasn`t made any kind of commitment to try for long-term sobriety.
What`s he going to do the next time that craving starts overtaking his body? It`s called addiction for a reason because it really robs you of the ability to say no. You`re not in charge. The craving takes over.
What`s he going to do the next time he gets hit with that craving? I believe he`s going to use. And I hope I`m wrong.
HAMMER: And as long as you think, what`s it going to take? What is it going to take? Because you have his show going away; it`s indefinitely suspended right now, at least for the rest of the season.
His inner circle is starting to fall apart. It`s shrinking by the minute. In fact, just today, we learned his long-time publicist, Stan Rosenfield, who you and I know well.
ANDERSON: Right.
HAMMER: He`s been putting up with Charlie`s nonsense for a long time.
ANDERSON: Only so much a man can take.
HAMMER: But he was on. He`s quit and he told SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, "I worked with Charlie Sheen for a long time and I care about him very much. However, at this time, I`m unable to work effectively as his publicist" - I`d like insert "duh," "and have respectfully resigned."
I didn`t mean to embellish you there, Stan, but it`s true. Now, Charlie reportedly claimed today that he fired his publicist.
So now it seems, you know, Charlie has nobody except for maybe the porn star and his young girl friend who he calls his two goddesses. And -
ANDERSON: I think they need to walk. That`s what needs to change.
HAMMER: They need to walk -
ANDERSON: That will get his attention.
(CROSS TALK)
SEELEY: It`s just heart breaking. You know, if something doesn`t happen right away, he`s going to die from this. We got to get him into recovery and he`s got to hit that rock bottom.
We have to create it. That`s the only way he`s going to get in there, is create a rock bottom that he`s going to say, "I would rather be in recovery than living this." And right now, the only thing - because he`s so delusional, the only thing that I think that`s going to be is jail.
ANDERSON: Yes. Well, whether it is with his so-called goddesses or somebody else, one thing is for sure - he likes to party.
In another part of his bizarre interview this morning, he told ABC`s Andrea Canning that he partied like no one else in history - no one else in history.
Jane, Charlie appears to be feeling quite fearless, quite righteous right now. But how long do you think it will be before this bubble explodes?
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, it`s going to explode. And I hate to break it to you, but there are some people who just cannot get sober for any length of time.
And they are constitutionally incapable of self-honesty, which strikes me as a pretty good description of Charlie Sheen. I hope I`m wrong. I hope he has a moment of clarity and decides to get help, but there`s no guarantee. Some people just never make it.
HAMMER: It got even more bizarre this morning with Charlie. The results of a drug test he took were dramatically revealed on live TV by the guy who was right there with Charlie as he took the test.
And that guy is right here for a SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview just a few minutes from now.
ANDERSON: All right. Moving on, the joke`s on Lindsay. Lindsay makes fun of herself and her alleged theft of a necklace on Jimmy Kimmel. Is this the right move for Lindsay?
HAMMER: A disturbing big Oscar controversy today. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT has obtained a tape of one of the biggest names in fashion. The creative director of Christian Dior apparently making anti-Semitic comments.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOHN GALLIANO, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, CHRISTIAN DIOR: I love Hitler. People like you would be dead today.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: The shocking fallout today. Plus, was Natalie Portman, who is one of the faces Dior, so angry that she didn`t wear a Dior dress to the Oscars?
ANDERSON: And Cameron Diaz` new porn confession. Cameron, TMI, girl, TMI. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN news and views.
HAMMER: And this is the "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" - more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news today.
TEXT: "The King`s Speech`s" Tom Hooper wins best director Oscar. SHOWBIZ at the Oscars! Christian Bale on his best supporting actor win -
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CHRISTIAN BALE, ACTOR: I`m so flattered when anybody, any person, any one person walks up to me and says that they were really touched by a performance. I really adore that. I really love hearing that. You know what I mean? You know, what we do becomes so much bigger than ourselves, and I appreciate that so much.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: This designer did a beautiful job. Who is it?
HAILEE STEINFELD, ACTRESS: It`s a one of a kind Marchesa.
ANDERSON: Ah. Can you give us a spin?
STEINFELD: Yes, I can.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: The oh-so-cute Hailee Steinfeld, 14 years old. That was just one of the fabulous fashion moments from last night`s Oscar red carpet. But there is a brand-new disturbing Oscar fashion controversy today so many stars, fashion insiders, love - Christian Dior.
Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m Brooke Anderson with A.J. Hammer here in Hollywood.
HAMMER: And there is an explosive new controversy that seems to have spilled out on the carpet at the Oscars. A brand-new tape just revealed today shows famed Christian Dior fashion designer, John Galliano, going on a disgusting anti-Semitic rant at a couple in Paris. Watch this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GALLIANO: I love Hitler. People like you would be dead today. Your mothers and forefathers would be (EXPLETIVE DELETED) gassed.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, my god.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Wow. The rant got Galliano arrested for inciting racial prejudice. He`s since been suspended by the House of Dior. And now, it looks like his A-list clientele may actually be done with him as well.
Best actress Oscar winner, Natalie Portman, who`s the face of the Ms. Dior Cherie perfume line, was expected to wear Dior at the Oscars. So obviously, when she showed up wearing a dress by another designer, well, that started a big buzz that she was boycotting Dior over the rant.
I want to bring in Rachel Zalis who is a contributing editor for "Life and Style Weekly." Rachel, could you really blame Natalie Portman if, on night of nights, the Oscars, she says, "There`s no way I`m going to wear Dior tonight," and certainly not a dress that was designed John Galliano after what he had said?
RACHEL ZALIS, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR, "LIFE AND STYLE WEEKLY": Right. Absolutely. I mean, first of all, it`s not 100 percent clear that she was going to wear a Dior. She`s not worn him to any of the award shows at all yet.
ANDERSON: She`s worn Dior heels.
ZALIS: Heels, but she has not worn the dresses. And one source says that the team behind that did create the outfits for "Black Swan." They were her good friends.
But she`s an Israeli-born actress. The fact that he came out and said he loves Hitler, tells these people their parents would have been gassed - there`s absolutely no way that she would have worn his designs. It is shocking that the two other actresses did.
ANDERSON: It`s despicable.
HAMMER: It was absolutely despicable and it sounds like he was under the influence. And I believe the police reports show that there was alcohol in his system, a lot of it.
SHOWBIZ TONIGHT did reach out to Natalie Portman today, but as of show time, we haven`t heard back. Brooke, you were right there on the red carpet at the Oscars last night watching all the fashion as it walked by you. Some of the stars were showing up in Dior. It`s not like there was a universal boycott going on.
ANDERSON: Right. And that`s just what Rachel was mentioning. She was shocked that some the stars were there in Dior. And I can tell you that Nicole Kidman, Sharon Stone both wore Dior gowns. But I`m not sure that they knew their dresses would be so controversial.
I want to bring in E! film correspondent, Ben Lyons. Ben, I`m thinking that if they knew about that Nazi rant by the Christian Dior designer, they never would have worn those gowns. Are you with me?
BEN LYONS, E! FILM CORRESPONDENT: I would like to think so. What he did say was despicable. And maybe Nicole Kidman wasn`t aware of the severity of the situation. There is so much hype and hoopla that goes into the preparation for a day like that, so maybe it was an oversight.
But yes, just awful things to hear him say and an unfortunate situation for, you know, people like Natalie Portman and Kidman, who are nominated and are there for their work to be acknowledged by the world, to have to focus on something completely out of bounds.
So an unfortunate taint to what was otherwise a traditionally glamorous evening.
HAMMER: So one of the big controversies to come out of last night. But of course, the other controversy to come out of last night is the hosts of the Oscars, Anne Hathaway and James Franco.
They`re just getting panned today. Ben Lyons, back to you. I thought it was a real letdown and I had such high hopes. I thought it could work. It was a gamble. It didn`t pay off in my mind. What about yours?
LYONS: It`s a thankless job. No matter who does it, everybody can sit here on Monday morning and pick it apart. For what it`s worth, I thought Hathaway`s enthusiasm was there. She`s seemed to be enjoying herself and was up for anything.
Franco had a glaze on his face, saying - I think he walked down the stage and said, "What did I get myself into? I`m already studying at Yale and I`ve got a short fiction book. Why did I sign up for this?" But (UNINTELLIGIBLE) to have fun with it.
(CROSS TALK)
HAMMER: I thought he was very capable. I thought he was capable of pulling it off. He phoned it in as far as I`m concerned and let her down as well as the audience. It`s too bad because I like him a lot. Rachel Zalis, Ben Lyons, thanks so much.
ANDERSON: It`s a tough gig. All right. Now, Sandra Bullock`s big Oscar return. I was there on the red carpet with Sandra. Remember, last year, she won best actress for "The Blind Side." And then just days after her amazing win, she was blindsided by her then-husband Jesse James` affair.
Sandra separated from Jesse. They are now divorced. Now, she`s moved on to another man in her life, her beautiful son, Louis. Listen to how he helped Sandra pick out her gorgeous Oscar dress.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SANDRA BULLOCK, ACTRESS: At the last minute, primarily because this little guy I know notices red right away. In this way, maybe he`ll notice me over Halle Berry, you know.
ANDERSON (on camera): Did he help you at all? Are you referring to your little baby boy, Louis?
BULLOCK: He does kind of help because he gives you the once over, but he loves red.
ANDERSON: Has your life changed? You are a mother now.
BULLOCK: I know. I think it has just made me a better person, period. It makes you see life through a kid`s eyes and you realize you don`t remember your childhood very well so I get to experience it again through him. I hope he`s made me a better person because I feel like it.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: Class act, that Sandra.
HAMMER: Charlie Sheen, not so much.
ANDERSON: Not so much.
HAMMER: No. He insists he`s clean, though, and he takes a drug test to prove it.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Doesn`t that make this whole situation you find yourself in, staring at me having to do this test, perplexing?
SHEEN: Well, it wasn`t perplexing. It was a little surreal.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: We`ve got an unbelievable SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview on the way with the guy who was right there with Charlie when he took the drug test.
ANDERSON: SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Oscar fashion and celebrity commentator, Camille Grammer, returns today. Her take-no-prisoners fashion smack-downs. Plus SHOWBIZ TONIGHT breaks news, is she returning to "the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"? Coming up.

AARON SORKIN, SCREENWRITER: I have a few Emmys, yes, for "The West Wing" and (UNINTELLIGIBLE). But this is my first Academy Award. It feels fantastic. "The Social Network" was a triumph of teamwork. There were a lot of people who got us here, but our captain was David Fincher, and, you know, I can`t imagine anybody doing as great a job as he did directing it.

ANDERSON: Colin Firth on fire. The brand-new Oscar winner`s career is definitely cooking. But Firth just revealed to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT that he`s taking his best actor Oscar into the kitchen.
SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was right there with Firth after his big Oscar win and he talked about how his next role is not in front of the camera.
COLIN FIRTH, ACTOR: I started having fantasies about what I`ll do when I don`t have to talk to you lot. I think I`m going to cook a lot. I don`t think I`m particularly good at it, but I`m going to inflict my cooking on anybody within range.
ANDERSON: The Bieb`s big Oscar surprise. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can tell you Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez made Oscar night the night of their first public appearance as a couple.

Now, A.J., I just spoke to Selena at the Grammys a couple weeks ago and I pressed sweet Selena about this, and she said, "No, no, I love him. We`re friends."

ANNOUNCER: TV`s most provocative entertainment news show continues right now.
(MUSIC)
HAMMER: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. It is 30 minutes past the hour. I`m A.J. Hammer coming to you from Hollywood. Happy to be here with Brooke Anderson.
ANDERSON: So happy to you have here, A.J. We`ve got big news breaking today - clean Sheen? Charlie Sheen swearing up and down that despite his wild behavior over the last few days, he`s drug free.
And now, he`s even taken a drug test to prove it and the final results were revealed today on live television.
HAMMER: Well, Charlie Sheen made even more headlines today. More wild interviews, more crazy statements and more threats against CBS after the network pulled the plug on the show, "Two and a Half Men."
And through it all, he is swearing he`s clean. So to prove his point, he invited "Radar Online" and ABC News to his home over the weekend. And right in front of the cameras, he took a blood-and-urine blood drug test.
"Radar Online" senior executive editor, Dylan Howard, was with Sheen for those tests. Dylan is with us right now here in Hollywood for a SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview.
And Dylan, before we reveal the results, how exactly did "Radar Online" get involved with administering and having these tests administered to Charlie?
DYLAN HOWARD, SENIOR EXECUTIVE EDITOR, "RADAR ONLINE": Well, A.J., last Thursday, people were asking, why was Charlie Sheen going on these rants? So we spoke to people involved in the production and they said to us they were convinced that Charlie Sheen was, again, using drugs.
We confronted him with that allegation. He said, "Fly to the Bahamas now and test my pee." He said when it comes back negative, I would have to drink it.
HAMMER: Were you actually in the bathroom with him?
HOWARD: I was.
HAMMER: You were?
HOWARD: It was the most gratifying moment of my career.
ANDERSON: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) at his home?
HOWARD: This was at his home, yes.
ANDERSON: In L.A.?
HOWARD: A career lowlight. I was in his bathroom. He insisted that I interview him in his bathroom as he waited for results to come back.
ANDERSON: So you saw him do what he had to do.
HOWARD: I didn`t see it, but yes, we had a court-certified tester with us as well who insured that the test wasn`t compromised -
ANDERSON: Everything was authentic and accurate.
HOWARD: That everything was authenticated. And of course, he had the blood test as well, which is nothing that can be (UNINTELLIGIBLE).
ANDERSON: OK. Well, Dylan, let`s take a look at the drugs that you guys tested Sheen for. We`ve got marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, amphetamines, opiates, PCP, methadone, and certain types of prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety medication.
The results were revealed this morning on ABC`s "Good Morning America." Watch what happened.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
HOWARD: The blood test tested for a grid of 10 drugs. You`re on a grid of nine and the good news for Charlie Sheen as he`s watching this at home - I can tell you that right now - is that he tested negative for every single one of those tests.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: No doubts about those results whatsoever?
HOWARD: Absolutely not.
ANDERSON: Are you convinced the guy is clean?
HOWARD: Certainly in the last three days. Let`s face it, these test results really only provide a footprint back for three days.
The blood actually only provides a 24-hour footprint. But that`s notable in within sense because Charlie Sheen, last Thursday, said he would fly back on Monday for the drug test.
He decided to fly back early because people were saying last Thursday, when he went on the radio and made those comments, that he must have been using. So last Thursday, he was clean, unequivocally.
HAMMER: Well, let`s hear from Charlie himself about that because he obviously was accused by a lot of people of having been on drugs. But everybody is wondering, why would Charlie submit to these tests? Let`s watch what he told you in this interview posted on "Radar Online."
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
HOWARD: You were so confident about this.
SHEEN: Because you know if haven`t been doing anything -
HOWARD: I know that.
SHEEN: There`s nothing in you, then nothing`s coming out of you.
HOWARD: Doesn`t this make that whole situation you find yourself in, staring at me, having to do this test, perplexing?
SHEEN: It was not really perplexing. It was a little surreal because it had an epic undertone about it. I don`t think it`s ever been done before.
HOWARD: No, it hasn`t ?
SHEEN: Yes. So we have done something that we can claim to be completely original, which excites me, which puts me in the zone of winning, defeating the naysayers.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: OK. But the test only proves, as you mentioned, that he hasn`t done drugs in the last 72 hours.
HOWARD: Sure.
HAMMER: It doesn`t prove that he`s not - that he`s committed to staying off drugs clearly.
HOWARD: I asked the question. I said, "Can you give me an undertaking you won`t use drugs again?" He said, "Absolutely not." I asked if he`s an addict. He said "I`m not an addict."
I said, "Your father said last week to Britain`s "Sky News" that you were an addict. In fact, he likened it to cancer. Charlie said, "Shut up, pops. Not the case."
HAMMER: Yes. I don`t think he has a lot of people convinced with that level of denial, but it`s fascinating to see him go through these paces. Thank you so much.
HOWARD: Thanks.
ANDERSON: Thank you, Dylan. Good to see you again. All right. So Charlie is reportedly clean - no drugs no, alcohol, no opiates, which leads to our SHOWBIZ Flashpoint - if Charlie is clean and sober, does that worry you even more?
Let me turn now to Sunny Hostin, legal contributor with "In Session" on Tru TV. Sunny, today, the world got to see Charlie ranting, raving today in a new series of bizarre interviews.
So Sunny, are you even more worried if Charlie really is clean and sober, if it`s not drugs, if it`s not alcohol, my goodness, if it goes deeper than that.
SUNNY HOSTIN, LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR, "IN SESSION": I am. I`m just mortified. I think it would have been better had he tested positive for some sort of drug.
The fact that he`s behaving like this with no outside influences, I`m thinking perhaps he`s suffering from some sort of mental disease or defect. Is he manic-depressive? Is he schizophrenic?
I mean, I`m not a doctor, but the fact that he tested positive and he`s doing these things scares me actually even more.
ANDERSON: Yes. He`s acting like a complete head case. And you know, frankly, I`ve been worried about Charlie before learning that he is drug- free. But yes, I agree with you, Sunny. This new revelation puts a frightening spin on his rant.
So could there be something else wrong with Charlie Sheen? Well, on "Good Morning America" this morning, Charlie says he seriously doubts it. Watch.

CANNING: Some are saying that you`re bipolar.
SHEEN: Wow. What does that mean? I`m bi-winning. I win here and I win there. Now, what? If I`m bipolar, aren`t there moments that a guy crashes in a corner, "Oh, my god. It`s all my mom`s fault." Shut up. Shut up.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: I want to bring in addiction specialist, Ken Seeley, now. Ken, Charlie says he`s not bipolar. He`s bi-winning. And he`s supposedly not on drugs. So to our SHOWBIZ Flashpoint, Ken, if Charlie is clean and sober, does that worry you even more given all that he said today?
SEELEY: Yes, Brooke, that really worries me because, you know, these are the signs that could be permanent. You know, if he continues down this - the using that he`s been doing, you know, this could not - this could be where it`s nonreversible and he could stay this way.
I`ve seen that happen with people that do this type of drugs. So he really needs to get the help as soon as possible -
ANDERSON: Yes.
SEELEY: Because, you know, if this keeps going, you know, he could stay that way.
ANDERSON: It is a dangerous, dangerous path that he is on. His poor publicist had too much, had to walk today. Hopefully, his family can get to him in time.
And you know, a lot of people have been making comparisons between Charlie`s troubles and Lindsay Lohan`s battle to stay clean and sober.
And there`s big Lindsay Lohan news breaking today. Her first public appearance and performance since a judge threatened her with jail time last week for allegedly stealing a necklace.
Here it is. Lindsay appeared last night on Jimmy Kimmel`s post Oscar show in a hilarious spoof of a workout video infomercial for something called Hottie Bodies Hump a Lottie(ph). Watch.

JIMMY KIMMEL, HOST, "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE": This is a lion, a rare young lion, designed to jump 20 feet in the air and take on an animal 10 times his size. So how does he find time to stay in such great shape?
LOHAN: Not with weights or diet drinks, I`ll tell you that. Hi, I`m Lindsay Lohan.
KIMMEL: Tell us more about lions, Lindsay.
LINDSAY: Well, lions spend their days hunting and their nights humping.
KIMMEL: So true.
LOHAN: Lions hump upwards of 40 times a night. I`ve spent thousands of hours watching them, so I know.
KIMMEL: The Jimmy K program is so affordable, it`s practically a steal.
LOHAN: Allegedly.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: I`m sorry but Jimmy Kimmel was really the star there in those shorty shorts.
HOSTIN: That`s great.
ANDERSON: Sunny Hostin Ken Seeley, we`ve got to leave it there. Thanks, guys.
HAMMER: All right. You`re going to want to hang on to your diamonds. We`re dishing the dirt on the real winners and losers at the Oscars.
Jimmy Kimmel would have been a winner had he walked the red carpet in that outfit for sure, Brooke.
ANDERSON: Yes, he would have.
HAMMER: The winners and losers on the red carpet. SHOWBIZ fashion and celebrity commentator, Camille Grammer, returns today for an Oscar fashion smack-down.
Plus, she`ll tell us, will she return to the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"?
ANDERSON: Cameron Diaz` porn confessions today. Cam D, I`ve got to ask, TMI?
HAMMER: And Oprah Winfrey`s tearful serenade. Why Oprah gets emotional when her childhood idol, Diana Ross, sings to her.

TEXT: Oscar telecast ratings down about 10 percent from last year. SHOWBIZ at the Oscars! Natalie Portman dreams of R and R.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
NATALIE PORTMAN, ACTRESS: The next dream I have in terms of very short- term future is staying in bed and not having to do my makeup or hair and keeping sweats on, relaxing. And for my child just to be happy and healthy, I think is only what every parent could only wish for.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
ANDERSON: I just can`t get over how beautiful and gracious Sandra Bullock was. Look at her when I spoke to her on the red carpet at the Oscars last night.
Well, it is time now for Sandra and the complete Oscars fashion bonanza, including Halle Berry, Helena-Bonham Carter and so many more. It`s the fashion hits and misses with SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Oscar fashion and celebrity commentator, Camille Grammer.
HAMMER: And welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer, thrilled to still be here basking in the Oscar afterglow with Brooke Anderson in Hollywood.
ANDERSON: Thrilled that you are still sticking around.
HAMMER: Are you ready for Camille unplugged?
ANDERSON: We are ready for Camille unplugged. And you know, we had so much fun last night at the Academy Awards with all those stunning stars and our very own fashion celebrity commentator, Camille Grammer, who is the star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Camille here with us now.
HAMMER: It was great having you standing by our side last night. Really a fun time. I got the impression had you a terrific time.
GRAMMER: I had a fantastic time. It was so much fun. It was so exciting to see all the celebrities looking stunning, and basically being a part of the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT team.
ANDERSON: And they`re genuinely excited. They`re thrilled to meet you.
HAMMER: And watching all that excitement, and you yourself breaking news during our "Road to Gold" coverage. You told me on live TV that you are keeping your last name of Grammer and you`re doing it for your kids.
GRAMMER: Yes, for my kids.
HAMMER: And I think that`s terrific. But before we dive deeper into the Oscar fashion, I want to break a little more news right now.
Let`s talk about "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for just one second. Of course, it`s the show you put you, essentially, in your own right on the map, for better or worse, some may say - we love you.
And I think last night really gave people a chance to see the real you. But it looks like the show is coming back and you`re the only one who has not acknowledged whether or not they will be returning with the cast. What`s going to happen?
GRAMMER: Well, the exciting news is that there isn`t any news. I`m still in talks.
ANDERSON: That`s exciting, Camille.
GRAMMER: That`s exciting, and we haven`t made our decision yet, so -
HAMMER: Is it coming soon?
GRAMMER: Yes.
HAMMER: And you`ll tell us right here on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT?
GRAMMER: Absolutely.
ANDERSON: What`s your deadline?
GRAMMER: Last week was my deadline.
HAMMER: No kidding.
ANDERSON: Well, I`m sure whatever decision you`ll make, it will be a good one because I know you`re thinking first and foremost about your kids and your future.
GRAMMER: Right now, it`s my family.
ANDERSON: You`ve got a lot to think about.
GRAMMER: A lot going on in my personal life.
ANDERSON: OK. Well, I can`t wait to hear because I love the show and I watched every episode as A.J. knows. I didn`t watch the "Real Housewives," but I loved your season.
OK. But now, we`ve got to turn to Oscars red carpet fashions. You were front and center talking about all the fashion hits and misses last night.
So let`s take a look now at - first, I want to go to Halle Berry. I thought she looked stunning in a - well, what was it? A Marchesa strapless gown. What do you think?
GRAMMER: Oh, she was one of my favorites of the night. Her gown was impeccable. I absolutely loved it. It was sophisticated. It was feminine and it was sexy, reminded me of that old Hollywood classic style that you love to see walking down the red carpet.
ANDERSON: And that body - the girl works out.
GRAMMER: She`s got an amazing figure.
ANDERSON: She can wear anything.
HAMMER: All right. Now, to one of my favorite moments of the night. Enough about this. There`s a little something that happened while we were chatting.
You are going on about Jennifer Lawrence and talking about her look as she was coming down the red carpet. And this was one of my favorite moments of working the show with you.
I was a little surprised by what you said. But Charles, can we roll that out, please? We`re getting to it. It`s coming in just a moment.
(CROSS TALK)
ANDERSON: Can you paraphrase what she said?
HAMMER: No, no. I don`t want to say it. I don`t want to be the one to say it. We`ve got it. Let`s roll it, Charles.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GRAMMER (on camera): Absolutely. She looks stunning in her red Calvin Klein gown. I heard that her publicist said or her stylist said that nipples are in this season. So let SHOWBIZ TONIGHT be the first one to say that nipples are in!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Well, Camille, there you go, nipples are in. Thank you so much for that gem of a television moment.
ANDERSON: I love your confidence.
HAMMER: How long do you see the nipple trend lasting?
GRAMMER: Hopefully, you know, the next six months, maybe a year or two. I don`t know. I mean, I was just obviously repeating what her stylist had said.
But it`s amazing how you say something that`s, you know, PG-13 and it just takes off and it goes viral.
ANDERSON: We`re all going to look at our bras now. Just kidding.
HAMMER: Have people been talking to you about this all day, who have been tuning in?
GRAMMER: Yes. I got an E-mail last night saying, "It was hilarious. It was so funny and I`m so glad you said that."
HAMMER: Camille "nipples are in" Grammer, we thank you for joining us here on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
GRAMMER: Great to see you. Thank you.
ANDERSON: Thank you so much. All right. We`ve got to talk about Lady Gaga now, because she turned heads at the Grammys when she arrived in an egg. Remember that?
HAMMER: Yes, I do.
ANDERSON: But did you see this? Her new video of "Born This Way" gives birth to something more extraordinary.
HAMMER: Yes. In the seven-minute long video, Gaga explores the creation of a new race of people. I actually love the concept of this. It`s a race that accepts everyone because, you`ve got it, they were born this way.
Gaga`s video is so explicit, so outrageous, we actually have to be pretty careful about which parts we can show you today. Let`s roll that.
(MUSIC)
ANDERSON: A.J., what do you think?
HAMMER: I love it. I`ve got to tell you, there was a time in my life, working with music videos and talking about them was all I did. I wish there was something this exciting. I mean, it`s an extraordinary piece of work.
ANDERSON: You like the message or the art?
HAMMER: I love it all. And I would expect nothing less from Gaga.
ANDERSON: And Gaga says she`s very proud of it. She wants it to represent a race that has no prejudice. Of course, she`s very, very proud of that and the message.
OK. We`ve got to move now to Cameron Diaz` unbelievable new porn confessions on national TV. OK, look, I`m all for stars being open about things, but this has got to be TMI. Cameron`s porno confessions, next. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN news and views.
This is "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" - more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news today.
TEXT: "Alice in Wonderland" wins Oscars for art direction and costume design. SHOWBIZ at the Oscar! Elton John raves about "The King`s Speech."
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ELTON JOHN, MUSICIAN: There`s so many wonderful performances this year in older films. I mean, it`s - the performances really, I would say, in "The King`s Speech," are actually better than the film itself.
I mean, it`s a great film. When I say it`s the greatest film of all time? No, but it`s a really good film. But the performances are stunning.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CAMERON DIAZ, ACTRESS: I love porn.
KIMMEL: You do? I`m going to get rid of the other question.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: There`s no shame in Cameron`s game. Cameron Diaz just told Jimmy Kimmel she loves to watch porn. All right. It doesn`t stop there. It`s (UNINTELLIGIBLE). How could it?
Cameron Diaz maybe shy about whether or not she`s dating the New York Yankee slugger, Alex Rodriguez. But I this she gets the TMI award today talking about what she does in her hotel rooms with the TV.
ANDERSON: Yes. No doubt about it, A.J. Cameron`s love for porn is not restricted to the privacy of her home. On "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Cammie D reveals what really turns her on when traveling. Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DIAZ: You know what I remember about hotels? How discreet they are -
KIMMEL: Are they?
DIAZ: Well, I love how they always give that you little thing at the bottom, your room will be, you know -
KIMMEL: Charged -
DIAZ: Charged the same as any other room. No titles will be used. They all cost the same amount.
KIMMEL: Is that right?
DIAZ: Yes.
KIMMEL: I have a friend who used to like to watch the three or four minutes and then he would like unplug the thing and plug it back in.
DIAZ: Your friend?
KIMMEL: And then they charged him for it. Yes. But I will say (UNINTELLIGIBLE) I`m talking about. But I`m talking about my friend, Daniel Kellison.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: A.J., what`s crazy to me is that Cameron will talk openly about porn, but not about the fact that she`s dating A-Rod.
HAMMER: Some things are sacred, Brooke.
ANDERSON: Oh, yes, I guess so. OK. Well, from Cameron shedding her inhibitions to Oprah Winfrey shedding tears. Oprah`s emotional moment with her idol, Diana Ross.
Oprah just revealed that, as a little girl, she sang along to Diana and the Supremes in front of the mirror with her hair brush and wanted to grow up to be just like the glamorous singer.
Oprah struggled to keep from crying as she thanked Diana for being her inspiration. But the waterworks started when Diana serenaded Oprah, thanking her for being an inspiration as well.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DIANA ROSS, SINGER: I watch you and it continues to make me know what is possible.
OPRAH WINFREY, HOST, "THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW": That`s amazing to. We`ll be right back with -
ROSS: Wait, wait, wait. I wanted to - can I sing a song to you?
WINFREY: You want to sing a song to me?
ROSS: I want to sing a song to you.
(MUSIC)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: Oprah went into her self-proclaimed ugly cry, but A.J., it`s worth it when your idol sings to you.
HAMMER: Who gets an opportunity like that but Oprah Winfrey?
ANDERSON: Oprah Winfrey. What a dream for her.
HAMMER: All right, Brooke. Got to go.
ANDERSON: Oh, it was great having you here.
HAMMER: Nice to be here, Brooke, doing the Oscars. That`s it for SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer leaving Hollywood now.
ANDERSON: I`m Brooke Anderson. Sadly, he`s leaving Hollywood. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT is live at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Monday through Friday.
HAMMER: And we`re still TV`s most provocative entertainment news show seven days a week at 11:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific here on HLN.
