Hello. I`m A.J. Hammer, coming to you from New York City with big news breaking tonight - is Arnold really telling Maria "I`ll be back"?
Arnold Schwarzenegger just made his very first public comments caught on tape since the shocking news broke that he and Maria Shriver are splitting up after 25 years of marriage.
And SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can tell you that Arnold seems to be saying his marriage is not terminated yet. There was a great debate today over whether Arnold`s marriage to Maria really can be saved.
Well, maybe it can, but SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can also tell you it won`t be easy.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(voice-over) We know Arnold Schwarzenegger as a stoic, tough-guy action hero.
SCHWARZENEGGER: Hasta la vista, baby. Knock, knock.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: Leave anything for us?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Just bodies.
HAMMER: But now, in real life, we`re seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger at his most dramatic, speaking emotionally for the first time about his just- announced separation from his wife, Maria Shriver.
SCHWARZENEGGER: I wanted to say - pick up the phone and just say thank you to all the people for their great, great support.
HAMMER: Accepting an award last night, Arnold got personal. He spoke about his recent split from his wife of 25 years.
SCHWARZENEGGER: I just spoke to Maria an hour ago before I came here. And we both were saying the same thing - we`re extremely blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people, by so many wonderful friends.
We both love each other very much. We are very fortunate for our four extraordinary children and we`re taking one day at a time.
NINA PARKER, PRODUCER, TMZ: Now, that Maria has kind of left him, they`re saying a new side of Arnold has popped up.
HAMMER: TMZ`s Nina Parker tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT Arnold`s sweet public words about Maria matched what he`s doing prettily today.
PARKER: He`s definitely trying to win her back.
HAMMER: Such is the state of this legendary American power couple. He, the action movie star turned politician. She, the Kennedy family heir turned TV journalist and activist.
Now, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT is asking, can this A-list marriage be saved? In their joint statement announcing their separation, Arnold and Maria said, quote, "At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship. This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us."
PARKER: We`re told, of course, since she`s left, that he`s kind of done a 180. He`s been more attentive. It`s obvious and it looks very sincere that he does love his wife. And a lot of people say they still want to work it out. Or he does, anyway.
HAMMER: But will Arnold`s efforts work? TMZ`s Nina Parker tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT Arnold`s tough two terms as governor of California, which ended this past January, really affected this couple and that Maria may have had enough.
PARKER: The main complaint with Maria was that her needs just weren`t being met, that Arnold was kind of an egomaniac. We`re told she`s been very up and down. She doesn`t really know what she wants to do.
MARIA SHRIVER, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER`S ESTRANGED WIFE: I want to hear from other people who are in transition.
HAMMER: In her Web video from last March, when reports suggest they may have already been privately separated, Maria Shriver sure sounds like a woman ready to move on when she told her supporters that she`s in a time of transition.
SHRIVER: It`s so stressful to not know what you`re doing next.
HAMMER: But maybe this marriage can be saved. After all, Arnold and Maria have a 25-year history, which includes four children. And of course, as Arnold says himself -
SCHWARZENEGGER: We both love each other very much.
HAMMER: Plus, the prospect of battling over the hundreds of millions of dollars Arnold and Maria are believed to be worth might be enough to dissuade anyone from a trip to divorce court.
But going against this couple - those serious reported marital problems that apparently have been festering for a long time.
PARKER: She kind of had to take a lot over the last few years. She was unhappy. She was kind of miserable, but she can`t really deny this emotional connection that she has with Arnold.
HAMMER: So that leads us back to the big question - can this marriage be saved? For now, it appears that, like in an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie -
SCHWARZENEGGER: I`ll be back.
HAMMER: We`re going to be kept in suspense until the very end.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
No question about it - Arnold and Maria`s shocking separation is a real life cliffhanger. So to our SHOWBIZ Flashpoint tonight, can their marriage be saved?
I want to bring in Robi Ludwig. She`s a psychotherapist. Robi, what do you think? Any chance here?
DR. ROBI LUDWIG, PSYCHOTHERAPIST: Absolutely. I mean, they have a history together. They have a family together. Perhaps, the separation is to help the two of them look at each other in a different way. And it sounds like Maria is trying to send a message, "My needs are not being met."
And something happens during midlife where a person looks at themselves, their lives, their relationship and says, "Is this really it?" and then reevaluate what they want out of life.
HAMMER: Yes. See, I`d like to be optimistic about these things. Whatever the history is and they`re not calling it quits just yet.
LUDWIG: Right.
HAMMER: And I think that`s important.
LUDWIG: Yes.
HAMMER: Dr. Judy Kuriansky is also with me tonight. She is a psychologist and the author of "The Complete Idiot`s Guide to a Healthy Relationship."
I need to point out, Dr. Judy also attended Maria and Arnold`s engagement party, so you certainly have unique perspective on this couple. What do you think? To our SHOWBIZ Flashpoint, can this marriage be saved?
DR. JUDY KURIANSKY, PSYCHOLOGIST: I`m going to have to be a little more pessimistic than my colleague, Robi. (INAUDIBLE) you want to be and, certainly, as a couples` counselor, I would say, go for it.
They were very much into each other when I went to their engagement party and after that -
(CROSS TALK)
HAMMER: That would have been, what, 27 years ago?
KURIANSKY: That was - yes, because they have been married for 25 years. And at that time, it`s like the - we call it the exotic is erotic.
In other words, they were so opposite because of the - opposite politically and from their different backgrounds - his father and her uncle and family. So that was attractive.
But after a while, then, you know, it gets to be a little bit too aggravating that people are opposite in what they need. And she may be not getting the attention that she needs. And so I`m a little pessimistic.
I don`t think that they would announce this unless they were sure. She`s very private. And so coming out and saying it`s for sure that they`re separating - I`m not as optimistic.
HAMMER: But there`s a reason for whatever it is and we don`t know everything that`s going on here. They`re not using the "divorce" word just yet. But a lot of people have been looking to Maria`s recent post on YouTube for clues about her future. Let`s look at that.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SHRIVER: A lot of you are in transition and people come up to me all the time saying, what are you doing next? What are you going to do? What are you coming up with? I hope you`re getting time to relax and think and take a break. It`s so stressful to not know what you`re doing next.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: So here`s what a lot of people have been thinking - I`ve been thinking of this. Oprah Winfrey and Maria Shriver - they go way back. They`ve been friends ever since they worked together at a TV station in Baltimore.
How about - yes, Maria Shriver do a show on Oprah`s network, OWN, about life`s "second act." Robi, I think that could be a runaway hit and she`s the perfect host for something like that.
LUDWIG: I love that, and Maria`s very insightful and there`s something very earthy about her. In her book, she`s very revealing about just the question mark she has about life. I think she would be very relatable and probably has missed being a reporter to some degree.
HAMMER: I think so.
LUDWIG: She`s really given up her identity. And you`re right, at the beginning of a relationship, everybody is highly aware of each other`s sameness and everything you like about the other person.
And as a relationship becomes more mature, you become more aware of your differences and what you`re not willing to give up.
HAMMER: Let me take a look at something really quick, Dr. Judy, because I do want to get your take on it. There were gasps in the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom when we heard about Arnold and Maria splitting up.
I want to know how it stacks up against some other big political love stories that came to sudden stops. Last year, Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper separated. That`s after 40 years of marriage, fairly drama free in public.
The ugly and tragic split of Elizabeth Edwards months before her death last year. They were together for 33 years. And now, Arnold and Maria. Which was the most shocking to you?
KURIANSKY: Well, I think they`re the most shocking, Arnold and Maria, versus the others. And I think because they`re both extremely politically savvy now and so you`d think they would really, you know, be able to make it work.
But you know something? As a psychologist, I`m aware there`s the 25-year itch. We have the seven-year itch, the seven-month itch.
And people get to a stage in life where they`re ready to branch out. She once had an impact in the world. That`s what she said on YouTube.
HAMMER: There is still time. Got to end it there. Robi Ludwig, Dr. Judy Kuriansky, thank you so much.
Now, I want to turn it over to you for our SHOWBIZ TONIGHT exclusive poll - "Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver Split: Do you think their marriage can be saved," yes or no?

It`s, like, live your life and people are going to take pictures and, you know, you laugh about it in the car afterwards.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: SHOWBIZ trending tonight. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT tracking the big stories trending on Twitter right now - "#PrayforJustin," as in Justin Bieber, of course.
TMZ reports that the Bieb was so sick with a chest infection during a concert in the Philippines, he actually had to take breaks to barf backstage. Bieber`s fans are praying for him to get better on Twitter, where else. Don`t worry. Not serious.
Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York.
And tonight, all the talk is about a rising starlet, Pippa Middleton. Pippa has been the talk of the town - and when I say "town" I really mean the world - ever since the royal wedding.
SHOWBIZ TONIGHT obtained an advance copy of the brand-new issue of "People" magazine today. And check this out. This week`s cover girl - it`s Pippa. "People" magazine has the inside scoop of Pippa`s relationship with her royal sister. And was Kate really upset when Pippa stole some of the spotlight at the royal wedding?
Joining me now with all the details, "People" magazine senior editor, Nancy Jeffrey.
Look, everyone knew Kate Middleton had a younger sister. But I think it is safe to say the chatter around Pippa reached a fever pitch when she made that grand entrance at the royal wedding.
Now, there are fan sites that applaud Pippa for showing off her slender physique. Nancy, what has "People" magazine been hearing? Was Kate really upset that, in some ways, Pippa kind of did upstage Kate?
NANCY JEFFREY, SENIOR EDITOR, "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE: Well, for months, all the talk has been about Kate. And normally, on a bride`s wedding day, she is the focus of attention.
But the moment that Pippa walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey in that body skimming Alexander McQueen gown, she became an instant star.
HAMMER: Yes.
JEFFREY: But sources tell "People" that Kate is not at all upset. These two girls have been the best of friends since childhood. And as one source told "People," it says a lot about how close they are that on the biggest day of Kate`s life she made room for her sister to share the spotlight.
HAMMER: I am breathing a sigh of relief knowing that they`re not upset with each other because that would be terrible in the wake of such a glamorous and huge wedding.
Now, Kate and Pippa are very close as you point out. But I do also understand they have very different personalities. "People" magazine says Kate is a little more reserved. Pippa can be the life of the party. Sounds a lot like William and Harry, actually, Nancy.
JEFFREY: Definitely. From the time they were little brownies together, everyone noticed that. Kate was a bit more shy, a bit quiet and reflective. Pippa is outgoing. She`s sunny. She`s gregarious. She`s a lot like Harry. And like Harry now, she can enjoy the perks of royal life without all of the heavy responsibilities.
HAMMER: Yes. There`s a lot of - you know, there`s big burden that comes along with that. Of course, speaking of Prince Harry, there was a lot of chatter now about perhaps a budding romance between Harry and Pippa. I`m guessing it`s probably a lot of wishful thinking. What do you know about that, Nancy?
JEFFREY: Well, when you saw Pippa and Harry chatting on the Buckingham Palace balcony together, you couldn`t help but think what a cute couple they would make. But "People" has learned that there is no romance, at least not right now.
Harry is still on with his on again/off again girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, and Pippa is dating Alex Loudon.
HAMMER: I would imagine she would have no time finding love. And particularly, now, she probably has people banging down her door all the time.
JEFFREY: Pippa has always been popular with the boys. In fact, at Marlborough College, when she and Kate were both there, she was the more popular one. And she has since had a string of well-heeled, aristocratic suitors.
HAMMER: Yes. Well, that`s not going to stop. Nancy Jeffrey, thank you so much. And to read more about Pippa Middleton, pick up a copy of "People" magazine on newsstands everywhere on Friday.
Moving on to some other big royals-related news just in today, an explosive enough Princess Diana controversy you`ve got to hear about. And I got to hand it to Lady Gaga. She keeps us all on our toes. Wait until you hear how Gaga is farming out her new tracks on her album. All that is making in "The Buzz Today."
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(voice-over) Royal photo outrage? A brand-new shocking documentary about the death of Princess Diana has enraged Diana`s friends and royal family members. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can reveal that the film will premiere at Cannes this week.
The British authorities won`t let it be seen in the U.K. "Unlawful Killing" claims officials and royal family members were behind an alleged cover-up of details surrounding Diana`s death. And it contains a disturbing, never-before-seen photo of Diana as she lay dying in the Paris tunnel moments after the 1997 car crash.
Gaga down on the farm. Lady Gaga will soon be coming to the farm - Farmville, that is. Gaga has just teamed up with the popular online game it create Gagaville.
Through the social media app, she will release exclusive tracks from her upcoming "Born This Way" album leading up to its May 23rd release. You can start visiting Gagaville when the site launches May 17th.
(END VIDEOTAPE)

Wow, The Situation`s dad going off on his son tonight. Watch this.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I ask you (EXPLETIVE DELETED) favor and you tell me to (EXPLETIVE DELETED) (INAUDIBLE) and go on welfare? No, my friend.

TEXT: Paul McCartney`s fiancee, Nancy Shevell, says their wedding will be a small one. Sarah Michelle Gellar doesn`t think another "Buffy" movie is a good idea.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, ACTRESS: I think it`s a horrible idea to try to do a "Buffy" without Joss Whedon. I mean, that`s like - honestly, it`s incredibly non-eloquent. It`s the dumbest idea I`ve ever heard. I mean -
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Will Smith`s new movie trailer is stirring up big controversy right on the streets of New York City tonight. Yes. I`m not talking about the trailer where they show you the movie.
This is a titanic double-decker trailer, a mobile mansion, really. Smith had not one, but two of these big bad boys on the set where he`s shooting "Men in Black 3."
Check out these outrageous stats about this thing. Smith`s monster trail is over 1,100 square feet. It is a whopping 53 feet long. The lounge - yes, there`s a lounge - enough space in that for 30 people to meet.
And what would a movie trailer be without a massive movie room? Smith`s got a 100-inch screen in his. So what`s the price tag for all of this mobile luxury? $9,000 a week to rent. Oh, yes. Will Smith also happens to be renting a luxury apartment just a few blocks away.
Comedian Loni Love is with me in New York. All right, Loni. Will Smith`s huge new ride is nicknamed "The Heat," something Smith was definitely feeling because people living in this neighborhood in Soho and New York say it is a nuisance.
Now, I`ll talk about how this has been handled. But I was thinking when I heard this news that all these people need to chill out.
LONI LOVE, COMEDIAN: I`m mad that it was for "men in black 3." I mean, I didn`t see "Men in Black" one or two.
HAMMER: Oh, "Men in Black 1" was one of the best movies of all time. "Men in Black 2" -
LOVE: Exactly. Now, you go make a three and you`re going to give him all of this? I`d say "The Fresh Prince of Bel-air" is out of control. We need to call in Uncle Phil and give him in, to calm Will down.
HAMMER: All right. Swear the situation away. Now, the New Yorkers in the neighborhood are saying the trailer`s bigger than their apartments. People are complaining it takes up a ton of gas, blasting noise in the area saying it`s like living in an RV park.
The city did tell Will Smith today to move the trailer to a private lot. But would you like to live next to that thing?
LOVE: Oh, you know what? First of all, they picked the right thing, Soho, because the trailer still there. If they would have put it in the Bronx, it would have been on blocks by now.
HAMMER: Right. Right. All right. You do have a point there. Late this afternoon, I need to point out, a spokesperson for "Men in Black 3" says, "This trailer has been used many times in the city by different studies on various movies over the years."
"And while its use has never been an issue before, we regret any inconvenience it may have caused. The trailer will be relocated to private property." And everybody is so excited about that.
LOVE: Thank you. Thank you.
HAMMER: Loni Love, thank you very much. And now, the SHOWBIZ lineup - here`s what`s coming up on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.

(MUSIC)
HAMMER: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. It is 30 minutes past the hour. I`m A.J. Hammer coming to you from New York City with big news breaking tonight - Bristol`s extreme makeover?
There is brand-new coast-to-coast controversy tonight over Bristol Palin`s new face. And Bristol is now talking for the very first time about her dramatic change and exactly why she looks so different.
Now, take a look at this. Bristol Palin caused quite the stir when she appeared at an after-party for the White House correspondents` dinner late last month looking very different, as you see.
The big burning question since that night, did she or didn`t she have plastic surgery on her face? Well, today Sarah Palin`s famous daughter finally sets the record straight.
With me right now, fresh from New Jersey, Tracy DiMarco and Olivia Blois Sharpe, who are the stars of the hit reality TV show, "Jerseylicious" on the Style Network. In fact, you can catch the premiere of their third season this Sunday.
Tracy, Olivia, it`s nice to you have here. We both see you as beauty experts on "Jerseylicious." So I figure, you know, who better to ask?
In a brand-new interview with "Us Weekly" revealed today, Bristol is denying reports that she had plastic surgery. She says she had corrective jaw surgery back in 2010.
Tracy, whatever the reason she looks different, how do you think she looks? You`re an expert in the field.
TRACY DIMARCO, REALITY TV STAR, "JERSEYLICIOUS": That`s thing`s severe. I`ve never something that goes - like she had a completely round face. She had no jaw, like no chin distinction or whatever it is. But I don`t understand - hey, she may have had some type of surgery, but you still change your whole face. She looks completely different.
HAMMER: I think you just coined a phrase, "chinstinction."
DIMARCO: Chinstinction - yes.
HAMMER: Distinction of the chin.
DIMARCO: Yes, that`s exactly what I`m saying.
HAMMER: All right. Let`s take a look at exactly what Bristol told "Us Weekly" in that new interview that was revealed today.
Here`s what she said, "Yes, it improved the way I look but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons so my jaw and teeth could properly realign. I don`t obsess over my face."
And she goes on to say, "I`m absolutely thrilled with the results. I look older, more mature and don`t have as much of a chubby little baby face."
So she said she had medical reasons for what she did. Clearly, she`s enjoying her new look. Now, Olivia, on "Jerseylicious," we see you as a make-up artist. Your job is to make people look better and feel better about themselves. Do you think Bristol looks better now?
OLIVIA BLOIS SHARPE, REALITY TV STAR, "JERSEYLICIOUS": I actually - I think she looked beautiful before. But I think, yes, she does. I`m not even going to lie. She looks even more beautiful now.
But I don`t think you need something like that dramatic. You could use contour and just shade the chin line, you know. And I just feel like she`s saying it`s for, you know, medical reasons -
HAMMER: Right. It was a collateral effect.
SHARPE: But she`s grown up, so like all of her alignment is already done. You know what I`m saying?
HAMMER: All right. I don`t know. Look, I wasn`t there with the doctors looking at the sketches and the x-rays and all that.
SHARPE: I mean, she looks beautiful. Good for her. She wanted to do it, let her do it.
HAMMER: Perfect. All right. Let`s move on now. Now, Tracy and Olivia, as reality show stars yourselves, I have to get your take on some big news breaking today in the reality show star world.
Tonight, we`re talking about Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from "Jersey Shore." Now, he`s got brand-new situation on his hands. I could tell you it`s not a good one.
In a brand-new rant on YouTube today, his dad, frank, is claiming he had his heart broken by his son, the Sitch. Watch what he says.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
FRANK SORRENTINO, FATHER OF MIKE "THE SITUATION" SORRENTINO: I ask you one (EXPLETIVE DELETED) favor, you tell me to (EXPLETIVE DELETED), be like a (EXPLETIVE DELETED) and go on welfare?
No, my friend. I love my son, mike. But you know what, Mike? When you get to the top and you forget where you come from, somebody should remind you. I just want to remind you. That`s it. I love my son and he broke my heart, and this is what this is all about.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: "I love my son, but he broke my heart." It sounds to me like the Sitch`s dad wants his son to help him out financially and the Sitch said, "No, forget about it."
Now, Tracy, I`ve got to say, going on YouTube and ranting all about this, not making Papa`s Situation look so good in my eyes.
DIMARCO: Yes. I think when people go on the Internet and they start, you know, ranting about somebody, even if they`re creating lies about someone, I think it`s really immature.
And it just shows you`re so obsessed with the situation, you know -
HAMMER: Yes.
DIMARCO: Literally, so this is The Situation. I just think that there`s other outlets and there`s other ways he could have gone about that. Going on YouTube is like a cry for fame. It`s like a cry for help.
Going on any type of Internet and posting anything about anybody that`s in the spotlight - I think that is really desperate and embarrassing. And my heart goes out for people that are so desperate for fame that way.
HAMMER: It does smack of desperation. And maybe he`s in such financial hardship that he had nowhere else to turn. But that`s not the only video that the Sitch`s father has posted.
He`s making all kinds of claims about all kinds of things about his son, really unloading a lot of personal information about The Situation.
Olivia, what do you think The Situation should do about this situation? I mean, should he get involved with his dad and say, you know, take these things down, maybe give him some money?
SHARPE: I mean, I feel like I just watched, like, a clip from "The Sopranos."
HAMMER: Yes. The music didn`t hurt.
SHARPE: But honestly, I mean, what the hell is he wearing? The mesh -
DIMARCO: I think that`s for "Dancing with the Stars."
SHARPE: OK, because I thought -
HAMMER: I hope.
SHARPE: I hope so. Dear.
DIMARCO: You never know, though.
SHARPE: I don`t know. You know what? I think, you know, the father is taking it to an extreme. That`s not right. It`s not right to put dirty laundry out there like that, you know, when it`s private and family- related.
But I mean, I do think that, you know, maybe this kid`s head did get a little too big and he needs to help the people who, you know, helped him grow up.
HAMMER: OK. Well, that gives me a little insight into your opinion about The Situation.
(CROSS TALK)
But let me ask you because one of our SHOWBIZ TONIGHT associate producers today informs me that you do like the "Jersey Shore"-type of guy.
SHARPE: Oh, yes.
HAMMER: So what about The Situation? Is he on your list?
SHARPE: No. No.
HAMMER: I mean, would you want a little hookup there? I can possibly arrange something.
SHARPE: No, no thank you. He`s too scrawny, even though he`s like The Situation, six packs - whatever.
DIMARCO: It`s the weirdest set of abs I`ve ever seen.
SHARPE: He needs a little, like, torso. And then, his like arms - he`s not cute. And he`s like, I don`t know. His receding hairline is not cute either.
HAMMER: Tracy, anybody you`d be interesting in dating from "Jersey Shore"? I`m just going to pull back the "receding hairline" comment.
DIMARCO: You know what? I just think that they all need to grow up a little. I`m friends with Pauley. I don`t see myself ever dating him.
HAMMER: Right.
DIMARCO: You know, he`s a good kid. You know, he`s 30 years old and he`s doing a reality show and it`s good for him. I think they all just need to grow up. We have jobs on our show, you know what I mean? Our show is about us focusing on our work.
HAMMER: Your job is not the show.
DIMARCO: Our job, at the end of the day, if the show goes away, we still have a job and clientele and all that.
HAMMER: Got it.
DIMARCO: At the end of the day, they have their MySpace names.
HAMMER: So what is going on with reality shows and Jersey? Because, obviously, it`s a formula that people have hit on that seems to be working. There, of course, is your terrific show, "Jerseylicious."
There, of course, is "Jersey Shore." There`s "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." And it always seems like the women are getting into these massive fights on these shows. Your show, no exception.
I just want to roll a little bit of this in the background right here, if we could do it. You two go at it, from what I understand. You`re going at it again this season.
Yet you sit here, Tracy and Olivia, and everything seems to be just peachy, fine, OK between the two of you. How are you able to move past all of that? Or the moment you walk out of the studio you turn away from each other and don`t speak?
DIMARCO: No, we haven`t moved past it.
SHARPE: Yes.
DIMARCO: We know how to come to a - we just met you. If we`ve known you for, like, a couple months, you`d see a different side of us you don`t know. But you know, we have to do our business. We really have to come in, act professional, I guess. But our work is hard because we`re together every single day.
HAMMER: So always not as peaceful as you may appear here on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT right now.
SHARPE: No, we`re not.
DIMARCO: No, no.
SHARPE: No, we know when we need to be mature. We know when we need to be, like, you know, business-oriented.
HAMMER: OK. I will have to find out and see how it unfolds. Olivia, Tracy, thank you guys so much.
DIMARCO: Thank you.
SHARPE: Thank you.
HAMMER: You can catch the premiere of season three of "Jerseylicious" on Sunday. Tracy DiMarco and Olivia Blois Sharpe. I didn`t screw up the name. I`m so happy about that. Thank you, guys.

Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York with the Kim Kardashian exclusive.
SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was the only entertainment news show invited inside Kim`s ultra-posh party to celebrate her being the new face of Midori Liqueur.
And we`ve got Kim talking. She`s talking about being a sex symbol, talking about whether she`ll get married to her NBA boyfriend, Kris Humphries, how plays for the New Jersey Nets, and even whether she`s ready to have kids.
Here`s SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Kareen Wynter with the Kim Kardashian SHOWBIZ exclusive.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
KAREEN WYNTER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT (on camera): She`s Midori`s new pitchwoman the new pitch woman and reality TV`s ultimate sex symbol. But now, Kim Kardashian gets personal with SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
We`ve had this conversation in the past where you`ve said, "People see me as a sex symbol and I don`t see that about myself," which is mind-boggling. How could that be, Kim?
KIM KARDASHIAN: I definitely get it. I get there`s like a vibe to it, especially the Skechers commercial. Watching it back on Super Bowl I was like, whoa, that`s very sexy.
It`s a part of my personality, for sure, and I definitely play it up a lot. But I also - you know, there`s so many other sides to me.
WYNTER: How important, though, is body image to the Kardashian brand?
KIM KARDASHIAN: You know, I think that, for me, I like to feel confident about myself. I hate feeling like, OK, I`m going on vacation, I know I`m going to be in a bikini and I don`t feel good about myself.
I always want to feel good about myself. I obviously really like tight clothes and love the hair and make-up and glitz and glam and all those things that would hopefully make you feel confident and make you feel sexy.
WYNTER: And you can bet Kim will feel even sexier inside her big launch party. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was the only crew invited inside. And by the way, wait until you hear what Kim told me about the new man in her life.
We`re ready for season six. Can`t wait for that. Are we going to see your sexy hunk, your athlete boyfriend, make an appearance on there?
KIM KARDASHIAN: Well, it is a reality show so the reality of my life is that - you know, he`s in my life so you`ll definitely see him a little bit. I think people will enjoy seeing me really happy and in a really fun, great, normal relationship.
WYNTER: Could he be the one?
KIM KARDASHIAN: You know, I hate saying so publicly like, oh, I think so. But when you spend a lot of time with someone and you just get the feeling that you have never felt before and you have such a good, trusting, normal relationship, you`d hope so, for sure.
WYNTER: Why do you think people are in such a hurry to see you get married, tie the knot?
KIM KARDASHIAN: Maybe because I`m 30 years old.
WYNTER: But you look at your sisters, you know, one is married. One has a beautiful baby. Do you sometimes sit back and say, "Oh, gosh. I do have it all but, Kim, the clock is ticking"?
KIM KARDASHIAN: Not really. I mean, I was married before, so people are like when are you going to get married? And I`m like I`ve been there. I`ve done that, you know. And I definitely want that. I want kids, but whenever the time is right.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
HAMMER: That makes a lot of sense to me. I appreciate her candor. I love how much Kim opened up to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT in that exclusive interview. So should everyone give Kim K a little space in the whole marriage question?
And how is it even possible that she doesn`t really see herself as a sex symbol? Are you kidding me?
Comedienne Loni Love is with me in New York tonight. I think people are genuinely fascinated with Kim Kardashian.
And as long as they`re drawn to her, they`re going to talk, Loni, about whether or not she`s going to get married again. So do you think her new boyfriend or her current boyfriend, NBA star Kris Humphries, is the guy? You think he`s the one?
LOVE: Well, I think he may be the one, but I want to step back to the sex symbol comment. I mean, she has obviously not looked at her Facebook comments, because she`s a sex symbol. I mean, people love her. She`s sexy. She`s confident. A sex symbol is, you know - OK, if you`re not a sex symbol, why would you wear a low-cut dress?
HAMMER: Yes. And here`s my question. This is why it baffles me to hear her say this. Does she think that - you know, did she pose for "Playboy" so doctors could study her as a medical specimen or something like that?
LOVE: Exactly. Exactly. That`s what I`m saying. She just playing that little, you know, trying to be confident and everything. And her boyfriend, if you notice, A.J., she`s going younger because she running out of older ones.
HAMMER: Yes. He`s a few years younger. Right.
LOVE: A few? Like five -
HAMMER: Going in another direction.
LOVE: And he needs to be careful because the other Kardashians married a basketball player and we know what happened to them, OK?
HAMMER: That didn`t work out very well.
LOVE: They got a little swept. So yes, he needs to be careful.
HAMMER: All right. Let get to some other big news breaking tonight, Loni. Kirstie alley is still dancing. Kirstie is still in the running today to win it all on "Dancing with the Stars" after Romeo was booted off the show.
The judges gave Kirstie a perfect 10 for her tango. And that leads to our SHOWBIZ Flashpoint - is it surprising Kirstie Alley is still dancing? Loni, are you surprised?
LOVE: You know what? I`ll take the fifth with this. Everybody is trying to say, "Oh, well, we`re talking about the fact that she made some missteps."
No, you guys are talking about it because she`s a big girl. What`s wrong with big girls? We dance. I dance all the time at the buffet, so leave us alone.
HAMMER: Dancing at the buffet. You said it, not me. Listen, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was right there backstage after Kirstie found out she wasn`t getting the boot. Here what`s Kirstie told us about her perfect performance.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KIRSTIE ALLEY, ACTRESS: You know why it felt good for me? Because I honestly - I know I did it better than I did it last night. And I - sometimes, you can`t tell what better is until you do it. So I felt like that. I felt it was good. It was good for my psyche.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Kirstie may have fumbled along the way. Her dance moves and psyche - they both seem to be in great shape. Loni, truly, I have not understood why people have had such low expectations of her from the very beginning.
LOVE: Because they feel like a bigger woman can`t move the way a smaller woman can, but she`s proven it. And also, you have to realize this is not just a dance competition. It`s actually a popularity contest and people love Kirstie.
HAMMER: Absolutely. No question about that.
LOVE: And Kirstie. We love her.
HAMMER: I love her. It great to meet you, too. I think I love you.
LOVE: Thank you. Thank you. You`re cute.
HAMMER: Well, so are you. Let`s talk after the show. Loni is performing all this week at New York`s Gotham Comedy Club. Go check her out. And there she is.
All right. It`s the brand-new national past time, not my face being poked - making fun of Osama Bin Laden and his many wives.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BEHAR: Maybe we should give a part to one of Bin Laden`s Wives. Talk about a desperate housewife.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Everywhere you look, there`s outrageous Osama Bin Laden comedy going on. You have got to see this next. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN news and views.
Time for the "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" - more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news tonight.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Osama Bin - mocked. Just as new details emerge about Osama Bin Laden`s life with five wives, well, comedians, of course, are jumping on every chance to make fun of the dead terrorist leader, including that now famous photo of Bin Laden watching himself on TV.
Here`s Jeanne Moos for SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Three wives in one hideout? To some westerners, it sounds like the set up to a joke.
DAVID LETTERMAN, HOST, CBS`S "LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN": He`d been living in a compound cooped up with all of his wives for five years. When the Navy SEALs came in he said, "Just shoot me."
MOOS: The closest most Americans come to multiple wives is the HBO series "Big Love."
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s my night, Margene. Get out of here now.
GINNIFER GOODWIN, ACTRESS: I`m sorry. I just wanted to kiss Bill good night.
MOOS: The night he was shot, Osama Bin Laden was with his youngest wife, the 29-year-old. Pictures of the other two older wives are scarce. They tend to be represented by faceless veils.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Another wife who was in the compound.
MOOS (on camera): Just call him Osama Bin - married, a total of at least five times.
(voice-over) When one of the stars of the hit show "Desperate Housewives" was on "The View"...
JOY BEHAR, CO-HOST, ABC`S "THE VIEW": Maybe they should give a part to one of Bin Laden`s wives. Talk about a desperate housewife.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You, (EXPLETIVE DELETED)!
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Followed by "Keeping Up with the Ahmadinejadashians!"
MOOS: Bin Laden may be gone, but comedians cling to him like a security blanket.
(on camera) When it comes to mocking Osama Bin Laden`s latest videos, we discovered great comedians think alike.
LETTERMAN: And he appears to be watching videos of himself on TV. And - no, wait a minute, that`s me.
JON STEWART, HOST, COMEDY CENTRAL`S "THE DAILY SHOW": Can I see that shot of me watching this footage over the weekend? Son of a (EXPLETIVE DELETED)!
MOOS: Everyone jumped on the news that Bin Laden was dyeing his beard black.
LETTERMAN: Look, he was using this "Just for Maniacs."
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He uses this stuff, designed for -
STEWART: And three boxes of the "Just for Madmen."
MOOS: There`s even a Web site called "What`s Osama Bin Watching" that lets you put in the address of any YouTube video so that Osama is watching, say, the Keyboard Cat or even the royal wedding.
DR. ROWAN WILLIAMS, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY: To join together this man and this woman.
JAY LENO, HOST, NBC`S "THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO": He`s crying.
MOOS: There`s something satisfying about watching the world`s most wanted terrorist wrapped in a blankie, watching Tina Fey on "SNL."
TINA FEY, FORMER CAST MEMBER, NBC`S "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE": I just hope tonight the lame stream media won`t twist my words by repeating them verbatim.
MOOS: The terrorist gets Trumped.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Osama, boom, you`re fired.
