TV`s most provocative entertainment news show breaks news right now.
DIAZ: I`m Carlos Diaz in for A.J. Hammer with big news breaking tonight.
Nude baby outrage. Like so many people today, I couldn`t stop asking what the heck was a popular blogger thinking when he posted naked pictures of Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady`s naked baby and made lewd, crude and sexually disgusting comments about that baby?
I can tell you I wasn`t the only one asking that question. Tonight there are demands this guy be arrested and face child pornography charges. I mean, think about it, you not only do something totally moronic, but do you it with a naked baby of one of the world`s most famous fashion models and her star NFL quarterback hubby who could probably crush you like a twig.
With me tonight is Vinnie Politan, who is the host of HLN`s "SPECIAL REPORT" every weekday at 5:00 p.m. Eastern, right here at HLN, followed by "PRIME TIME NEWS" at 6:00 p.m. And in New York, Vikki Ziegler, who is a family attorney.
The outrage today was not just about the photos, guys, but the lewd comments the blogger made about the photo. I mean, come on, posting naked pictures of the two-year-old boy and making disgusting sexual comments.
Vinnie, is there any excuse for this guy?
VINNIE POLITAN, HLN HOST, "SPECIAL REPORT" & "PRIME TIME NEWS": There`s no excuse for it. The picture alone, is it child pornography? Maybe not. But then when you take it in the context of what he said, and the juxtaposition of the other photos on that blog, you put it all together and it not a pretty picture.
I don`t understand it either, Carlos. I don`t know why you would do that. A child, it`s dangerous territory when you start talking about naked pictures of children. But then to add the comment that he`s added, and put it in the context he did, I don`t think it`s a joke that`s funny at all.
DIAZ: Vicky, are we looking at legal action here?
VIKKI ZIEGLER, FAMILY ATTORNEY: Possibly. Parents have been indicted for child pornography when they`re kissing their child`s backside and posting pictures on Facebook. So, listen, could the DA, of course, charge this individual? Certainly. His moral compass was obviously in the closet. Come on, who does this? You saw pictures of this little beautiful boy all over, but you didn`t see his private parts, you saw the face, the side of his body. Why would you do that? And more importantly make such a lewd comment. It`s so inappropriate. I think if the DA believes they`re going to go forward, they have the right do that. This guy could be in serious trouble.
DIAZ: I can tell you the blogger who posted the pictures is actually defending himself and he`s not apologizing. He thinks he did nothing wrong. He just spoke with reporter Sean Kelly with our Boston affiliate WCVB-TV. Watch this.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
DAVID PORTNOY, BLOGGER: We`re built for better or for worse. We do always push the boundaries.
SEAN KELLY, REPORTER, WCVB-TV BOSTON (voice over): David Portnoy is not afraid to say it, smut is his game. His BarstoolSports, Boston web site generates 2 million unique visitors a month. Controversy doesn`t scare him, not even when it is about a picture he posted of Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen`s son naked.
PORTNOY: I was surprised that it had the reaction it did.
KELLY: Callers on sports talk radio are calling for his head.
PORTNOY: This may sound simplistic, but I wasn`t thinking it was an issue. As I sit here again, I don`t think it`s an issue.
KELLY: The headline and blog, which we decided not to re-show, are about Brady`s son, directing readers to the size of the two-year-old`s genitalia.
PORTNOY: The blog was more to the point of whatever Brady does, Brady does well. In my mind it`s actually scarier that people would sexualize that photo when you read it, and it`s a joke.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is a very serious felony.
KELLY: Former criminal prosecutor Wendy Murphy isn`t laughing.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The whole purpose of this posting was to get people to look at this child`s genitalia. Absolutely clear it me, as a matter of law, felony 20-year maximum time in state prison.
PORTNOY: If I thought, you know, I was going to be arrested or thrown in jail, would I obviously take it down. But to be honest, I wouldn`t put it up if I thought that was the case.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
DIAZ: You`re kind of an idiot, aren`t you? I think the guy`s in serious denial. He need as reality check. Vinnie, we just heard from former criminal prosecutor Wendy Murphy saying he should be prosecuted. What do you think?
POLITAN: It`s a tough call because you`re talking about freedom of the press, freedom of expression, you know. But the bottom line is, and it comes back to what I said before, once you see the context he puts it into, and he tries to say it comedy. It`s not comedy, it`s sexual. His comments are sexual. The posting of the other photographs are sexual. You put a sexual, naked child genitalia, you get a prosecution.
ZIEGLER: Ignorance is not a defense.
DIAZ: Vinnie, real quick, I appreciate the fact that -- we have to be clean, we can`t go where he went on TV. But if we could, you would see how just completely off color this guy is to make the suggestions that he did. I`m sorry, Kelly (sic), go ahead.
ZIEGLER: The ignorance is really not a defense here. I didn`t know this would happen, I didn`t know we`d have outrage. You can`t defend that in a court of law. More importantly, the point is we have to protect minors. We have to protect our children. There are predators out there that will take this picture and do untoward things with it. That`s the whole point. We don`t want this picture disseminated to those disgusting human beings out there.
DIAZ: Vickie, great point.
I can tell you our friends on Facebook tonight, they are outraged. Look at what Heather G. wrote on our wall. "That is disgusting. It is one thing to post a picture like and that, and it is sickening to make sexual comments about it. Disgusting perv, throw him in jail."
That is the part that is so disgusting, Vikki. Can Gisele and Tom-can they sue, but more importantly can this guy defend himself by saying it`s comedy?
ZIEGLER: You know, potentially. It probably won`t work because you`re dealing with a child. The question becomes what is your expectation of privacy when you`re out on a beach and your child is naked, what kind of damages can you sustain if in fact they`re on a public beach? That`s the question. So I don`t think that`s really going to go forward. Taking the picture down, perhaps other charges down the road, but right now I think really focusing on whether or not this is child pornography is really the main concern.
DIAZ: I have news for you, it`s a Boston web site. Everybody needs to boycott the sponsors of this Boston web site, all right?
I got to move on to the brand new stunning development tonight in the Casey Anthony case. The judge who handled Casey Anthony`s criminal trial has just ordered Casey to return to Florida. Here`s what he ruled today. Casey needs to report for probation on August 26th. The probation stems from her check fraud conviction. The judge disagreed with Casey`s attorneys who argued she already served her probation while sitting in jail for three years, before her trial began.
Vinnie, you were in Orlando covering the Casey Anthony trial. Should Casey be worried about having to return to Orlando? Is she worried about - - should she worry about being hurt?
POLITAN: Well, we saw the survey that came out that said she`s the most hated woman in America. It`s not limited just to Florida. It`s just being in public and people knowing where she is, and when she`s there. Judge Perry dealt with that issue today. He issued the order. He told her she`s got do probation, but he told probation they can, unlike they do with every other probationer, they can keep her address secret. They do not have to make that a part of the public record.
So, Judge Perry I think did everything right here. He`s making her serve the sentence like any other probationer would, any other defendant would, but he says he understands it`s different, the nature of who she is, and her perception in the public, and he`s taken that into consideration by allowing probation to keep her address not -- make it not a public record and keep it secret.
DIAZ: Vikki, real quick, 10 seconds, can she get a job? She is going to have to get a job if she is on probation.
ZIEGLER: She has to, maybe Jose Baez with hire her as a file clerk, yes.
DIAZ: Very good point. Vinnie Politan, Vikki Ziegler, thank you so much.
POLITAN: Thank you.
DIAZ: Coming up, the star who got Jennifer Aniston naked. Sort of. And is Jen setting herself up for another devastating heartbreak with her new boyfriend Justin Theroux?
Just about a week to the reported $10 million -- make it $20 million-- mega Kim Kardashian wedding. So much hype tonight. But will all the hype turn people away from Kim`s wedding? The SHOWBIZ spin doctor is in next.
And who will be named the most provocative celebrity of the week? Mila Kunis for saying she doesn`t buy it when people say they can`t lose weight. How about Camille Grammer for dissing her ex-Kelsey`s manhood? Or Bert and Ernie? Should they get married? This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN News & Views.
Now the SHOWBIZ news ticker, more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news tonight.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hey, guys. Thank you for your questions.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We love all of them and we`re going times them as much as we can.
DIAZ: Not only can you keep up with the Kardashians, but you can also keep up with the Jenners. The Kardashian`s younger siblings, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, just launched their own blog and they are, quote, "so excited" to keep all their fans updated with their favorite pictures and videos.
Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT I`m Carlos Diaz in for A.J. Hammer
No matter how you feel about them, you have to admit the Kardashians are masters at getting their names out there. Tonight we are taking you on the Kardashians big spin. There`s just one week until Kim`s wedding, but could all the hype turn people away from watching Kim`s fairytale day? Right now, in New York is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT resident spin doctor and PR Guru Howard Bragman, who is the founder of 15 Minutes Public Relations.
All right, Howard. This week the news about Kim Kardashian fairytale wedding is break big the minute. First we got the news about Kim`s wedding guest list, which is filled with Hollywood royalty like Jennifer Lopez and Justin Bieber. Then there are reports that Kim could have the most profitable star wedding ever with all the money she`s making in TV coverage and sponsors. Plus the Internet and magazines are buzzing comparing Kim to royalty, calling her the new Kate Middleton.
Howard, the hype around this wedding is building to a fever pitch. You are the PR Guru. Do you think all of this hype is a good thing? You have one minute. How would you spin Kim`s wedding?
HOWARD BRAGMAN, FOUNDER, 15 MINUTES PUBLIC RELATIONS: You know what, a lot of people in this country can get famous. Kim has done something really brilliant, which is she`s continued to be famous and she`s made money out of it. I give her a lot of credit for that.
Yes, there`s going to be a lot of hype with this wedding, they are American royalty this family. I`m not judging. It`s just how it happens to be. They sell magazines, they draw people to TV and web sites. That`s why we talk about them. That is why we see them on the cover of magazines.
I know the Kardashian family well. I`ve worked with Kris, the mother, who is a "moma-ager", in Hollywood terms. She is the mother who is the manager. Which is often said disparagingly but she`s one of the smartest people in Hollywood. She`s done a brilliant job of cultivating the brand and image for all the girls, and the boys, and the family.
You are going to see this wedding everywhere but you`ll see the official pictures and physical video. It will be very controlled, very classy, and it`s going to make them a lot of money. And people are eating it up. It`s the doldrums of summer. We need a good story, Carlos. This is it, baby.
DIAZ: Howard, what`s your bottom line spin on Kim`s wedding?
BRAGMAN: Don`t cry for me Kim Kardashian, and the money keeps rolling in.
DIAZ: I love that. All right, SHOWBIZ spin doctor. We just mentioned that Kim`s young are sister Kendall, and Kylie, Jenner are following their older sisters and launching their own blog. 15-year-old Kendall, and 14-year-old Kylie are giving us the 411 on what`s going on in their life. Howard, take us behind the scenes of celebrity blogs like Kendall and Kylie`s are we really supposed to believe they`re the ones posting on this blog?
BRAGMAN: Well, what we should really know in the best of circumstances when it works the best, there`s two things going on. One, and I know Kris Jenner too well to think that these girls are going to go off the reservation, and Tweet themselves without running it by a grownup. I can tell you that the best of these work when the girls are involved and there`s a grownup helping direct the strategy of the blog, deciding what you`re going to talk about, staying away from the wrong controversies. So I think it`s going to work. This is how kids get their information now. They don`t really magazines or newspapers, Carlos.
DIAZ: You`re so right, Howard. You are the man. Thank you so much.
BRAGMAN: Thanks, Carlos.
DIAZ: Lots of calls coming into our SHOWBIZ "On Call" tonight about the upcoming Kardashian wedding. One thing we`ve been asking, are the Kardashians royalty?
Rochelle from Arizona says that idea is royal rubbish.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think the whole thing is just insane and ridiculous. They`re not the first people who have done this, of course, but it`s just so over top and insane, right down to the enormous ring, to $20 million for a wedding. Who cares? Quite, frankly. The Kardashians are famous for nothing. But this is how they`ve built their empire, doing stunts just like this. Whether their marriage lasts, I doubt it. Most families and relationships have been destroyed by doing this kind of thing on television.
DIAZ: Thank you, Rochelle. You don`t sound like a fan. But Tammy from Missouri disagrees with you
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, the Kardashians are royalty. They give money, they are doing it big, they are snatching up every husband in the NBA or football. The Kardashians need to wear purple all the time. They are royalty.
DIAZ: Tammy, bringing it. Thank you so much. How about you out there? What do you think? Give us a call on our SHOWBIZ "On Call" about this or anything else on your mind. Our phone lines are always open, give us a call, 1-888-SBT-BUZZ, that is 1-888-728-2899. Leave us a voicemail and we`ll play some of your calls right here on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
DIAZ: SHOWBIZ "Trending" tonight, like daughter, like mother. The shocking results of a new Temple University survey which claims that more and more moms are dressing like their teen-age daughters. OMG. This is definitely something that`s going on in Hollywood right now. The big question that we`re asking is this clothes copycatting cool, or should star moms back off? I was want to bring in my good friend, Daphne Brogdan, in Hollywood, she is the creator of the fabulous Web site, CoolMom.com.
Daphne, the first star example we have, comes-it is unbelievable, Madonna, 53 years old, her daughter 14 years old, Lourdes. Look at this, they`re rocking the black clothes, the jewelry. Anything wrong here?
DAPHNE BROGDAN, COOLMOM.COM: Well, you know, she is a rock star so I will say this, nobody`s saying, oh, Mick Jagger, why don`t you dress your age? Once you`re a rock star, you`re always a rock star.
I do think Madonna, because she has such a fabulous body, she doesn`t need to push it. We know she still looks great. Sometimes less is more.
DIAZ: Maybe you ask your daughter what are you wearing, I`m going to wear the exact opposite. Here`s another-
BROGDAN: Let`s-
DIAZ: No, go ahead.
BROGDAN: I was just going to say part of the problem is that kids are dressing more adult. So what`s mom supposed to do? Wear a bouffant and just wear pearls? I`m just saying.
(LAUGHTER)
DIAZ: Well, 18-year-old Miley Cyrus and her mom Tish, are up next. With these two it is sometimes it`s hard to tell them apart. Daphne, is it pretty cool for Tish to raid Miley`s closet or is it just creepy?
BROGDAN: What really creeped me out is that big angel tattoo wing she had on her back. Because then it really seemed like she was kind of like being, like, oh, yeah, I`m glad my 18-year-old is doing so well, but look at me, look at me, look at me. At some point you do want to focus the attention perhaps on the young`en a little bit. And you are right, they do look alike.
DIAZ: Frances Bean and we have Courtney Love. What do you think about these two?
BROGDAN: Well, poor Courtney Love. She`s such a GD train wreck, you know. There`s hard to pick out too much great parenting advice from her, so the clothes is just the tip of the iceberg.
DIAZ: Daphne, I want you to know I dress like my mom all the time. Thank you so much, appreciate it.
(LAUGHTER)
BROGDAN: So did Norman Bates.
DIAZ: Coming up on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, my eyes, they`re burning! That`s Britney Spears giving "Jersey Shores Pauley D. a lap dance. Why, Britney, why?
And SHOWBIZ TONIGHT is about the name the most provocative celebrity of the week. Will it be Mila Kunis for saying she doesn`t believe it when they say can lose weight? Camille Grammer for dissing her ex-Kelsey`s manhood? Or Sesame Street`s Bert and Ernie, the controversial new push to have them get married? This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN News and Views.

ANNOUNCER: TV`s most provocative entertainment news show continues right now.
DIAZ: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. It`s 30 minutes past the hour. I`m Carlos Diaz in for A.J. Hammer tonight. A SHOWBIZ exclusive tonight. Whatever happened to Washington? Former "Grey`s Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington, whose career took a big hit for his homophobic remark, is calling for a war on homophobia. He is also challenging Perez Hilton and Tracy Morgan to join him in a personal mission.
In a tell all interview with SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, Isaiah is speaking out for the first time about Tracy Morgan`s antigay rant, and said he never got the chance to make the same kind of amends Tracy got. Isaiah says he was gagged after he was fired from "Grey`s anatomy." Isaiah has written a remarkable book about his spiritual journey called "A Man From Another Land: How Finding My Roots Changed My Life." He spoke exclusively with SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Jo Semonia (ph).
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I want to talk about this remarkable spiritual journey you`ve been on. Tell me what you`ve been doing. You`ve written a book, you`ve traveled to Africa.
ISAIAH WASHINGTON, ACTOR, AUTHOR: For the last four years I`ve been following my purpose. I talk about this dream called the "Rerun" in this book, that I never wanted to talk about because I was afraid of being ridiculed for it. Particularly growing up in the `70s in Houston, Texas, you just don`t talk about Africa. Seeing things like Tarzan, or cartoons where the image was always wrong or negative, I always felt there was something more positive out there. I always felt there was something more to me and the story of my community before the Antebellum South, growing up in the South. Seems to me everything I wanted to be, football player, astronaut, did 20 years in the military, this dream would come up before something catastrophic would happen.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Because you went through quite a fire storm four years ago with "Grey`s Anatomy."
WASHINGTON: Uh-huh.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There`s no denying it. People associate that show with the scandal that happened four years ago. Would you have gotten to this place right, had you not had to deal with that?
WASHINGTON: Well, according to the way things have happened in my life and obviously the dream came to me before that went down, I would say, yes, it was time for me to go. My purpose was not being fulfilled being on that hit show. I was not born to be a super star on a television show for 10 years like I thought. Every time, what I`m saying, in this book of my life, every time I think I get complacent with something that I wasn`t born to do, I`m pulled out of it. Whether I want to go or not. Because the whole world knows I did everything I could to stay there, you know.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: But you`ve come out of this in a very positive way and, frankly, as a renewed man.
WASHINGTON: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What advice would you offer Tracy to how to get through this?
WASHINGTON: Well, it`s two different stories. There was the story with me, is that I attacked my former cast mate because of his sexual orientation, got into a brawl. Then my other former cast mate came in, on his behalf, to protect him. Let me just say this, if I didn`t know that Isaiah Washington, and I had heard that story, I wouldn`t have liked Isaiah Washington either.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Sure.
WASHINGTON: But that story was never accurate. It was never accurate. So what has happened is once you get that on the internet, there`s no taking it back. There is no correcting, setting the record straight, and you certainly don`t set the record straight at the Golden Globes after you win.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What advice do you have for Tracy handling it, though? Because he --
WASHINGTON: I don`t have any advice because we`re two separate entities. He`s a comedian who was desperate to make people laugh.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Right. But he`s dealing with the same media firestorm. He`s apologized several times, working with gay leaders
WASHINGTON: It doesn`t matter.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You handled the situation very similarly. Why is one sincere apology not enough?
WASHINGTON: Because the community is tired of homophobia, as they should be. The community is tired of those words that are hurtful, as they should be. I take my bumps and lumps because of using the words of the Golden Globe before the world. No matter what the context, I take that, I accept that, and I move on. I apologize for it. I cringe when I see it on YouTube. That moment is not the defining moment for me.
I don`t have any advice for Tracy other than the fact that I believe that he`s moving in the right direction, unlike what I was allowed to do. I was gagged, I was the brand -- the Dr. Burke brand was more protected than the Isaiah Washington brand. Not to speak of the person this way. But that was not the brand that the powers that be was interested in protecting.
From what I see, with him, he is going about the right things by going out there early on and apologizing immediately, which is something I wanted to do, but I wasn`t allowed to do it. I think now what I would love to do, to answer, is not give any advice. But I would love to do a panel with the black church, with Perez Hilton, with myself, with Tracy Morgan and have a community talk.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is that a call to action?
WASHINGTON: That`s a call to action. When I go around the country, have I to fight homophobic people in debates, just as much as those who still assume or think because of these allegations that I am homophobic. This is an opportunity for you, who have been put at the forefront, whether we like it or not, to have a real, authentic dialogue.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You mentioned the word you said at the Golden Globes, that same word was used by Chris Brown. Why is that a go-to word?
WASHINGTON: As Ann Coulter would say, it`s a schoolyard taunt. When I opened it up in my book, I was called that, all the time as a child, growing up in my community.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Why is that word a go-to word? Do we need to eradicate that?
WASHINGTON: I don`t know if it`s a go-to word. When I`m in England, that word means a cigarette. You know what I mean? So the word has changed over many, many times since I think what, the 17th century.
However, in my community growing up in the `70s, it meant someone who was weak. It had nothing to do with sexual orientation. You`re talking about a generational thing. I will be 48. In terms of the context of me using the word, it was me having an argument with another former cast mate, that had nothing to do with my other former cast mate, who happened to be gay at the time. Who I still respect, who I still would hug if I saw him today.
Believe it or not, I have no issues with him. The issue I had was my brand, my personal brand, was being taken in a direction with a community that I have been working in for 25 years. There`s no way I could be working in New York, in the theater, and be everything everyone was trying to say I was. It`s just virtually impossible.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
DIAZ: It`s really amazing how far Isaiah has come. We wish him the best. A reminder, you can read all about his remarkable transformation in his book called "Man From Another Land, How Finding My Roots Changed My Life."
All right. Moving on now, which big star wants to you see Jennifer Aniston naked? I`m not kidding here. You have to find out who just launched the, "See Jennifer Aniston Naked Foundation" and why Jen is cool with this.
Plus, is Jen`s dream romance about to come to a shocking end? That`s exactly what millionaire matchmaker Patty Stanger is predicting. That`s coming up.
Have mercy. Britney spears giving "Jersey Shore" Pauley D. A lap dance? You got to see the rest of this.
This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN News & Views. Now the SHOWBIZ News Ticker, more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news tonight.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
DIAZ: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m Carlos Diaz.
Did you see this? Ben Stiller might have just come up with the best name ever for a charity. It`s the "See Jennifer Aniston Naked Foundation." Watch this and it will explain.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
BEN STILLER, ACTOR: Here`s some of the names we have been considering, The Stiller Global Initiative, The Ben Cross, No Child Left Ben-hind, The Ben Schooler Foundation, The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can`t Read Good and Want To Do Other Stuff Good Too. So you think can you donate? Touched by a Ben-gel.
But the one we finally decided on is the, Jennifer Aniston Foundation. Just seemed like more people would go to that.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Have you seen this?
JENNIFER ANISTON, ACTRESS: What is it? What? I never said that! What? Stiller!
STILLER: So, please, go to "seejenniferanistonnakedfoundation.com" or Facebook.com/Stiller Foundation to find out more. See how you can give all children the education they deserve.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
DIAZ: See, that`s awesome. Ben Stiller is really trying to promote his real-life charity, the Stiller Foundation. It helps poor kids around the world get a decent education. But like Ben said, he thought a web site of see Jennifer Aniston Naked might get a few more hits. And more money for the kids. I think that is awesome. I love the fact that Jen played along to help.
Now, while Aniston is poking fun at herself for charity, some people out there aren`t being very charitable about her new relationship. Tonight one major critic is saying Jen and her new guy aren`t exactly a good match.
Aniston`s been spending a lot of time with actor and screenwriter Justin Theroux and they`ve got very public with their relationship. But who, you may ask, could possibly hate on this good looking, accomplished, and mature Hollywood couple? Here`s a hint. It`s someone who is quite used to telling millionaires like Aniston whom to date.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
PATTY STANGER. MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER: Are you kidding me?
Cut it out.
No, no, no.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
DIAZ: Yes, yes, yes. It`s the millionaire matchmaker himself Patty Stanger. We learned the star of the BRAVO reality show is slamming Just- Jen, which is what they`re being called. Patty Stanger is saying danger Jen Aniston, something is not right here.
Just what on earth is the millionaire matchmaker something`s not right here. Just what on earth is the millionaire matchmaker tacking about? Let`s welcome in the best TV journalist in the entire world, Taryn Winter Brill, she is joining us from New York City, and pretty-OK TV and radio host, Michael Billy.
Let`s go, guys. Here`s the problem Stanger has with Jen and Justin. It`s the fact that Justin Theroux left his girl friend of more than a decade just before he took up with Aniston. In a interview revealed today, Patty Stanger told Radar Online, quote, I kind of like him but here`s my problem, he was with the last girl for 15 or 16 years. And one day in walks the girl of his dreams and he says, bye, see ya, wouldn`t want to be ya. There`s a karmic payback for that.
Taryn, my friend, does patty have point? She`s suggesting Jen hooking up with Justin is no different than Brad Pitt leaving her for Angelina Jolie.
TARYN WINTER BRILL, TV JOURNALIST: Go, Patty. I love her. Something is definitely not kosher here. It is like these guys, they get hit on by celebrity women, and they are like, oh, wait. Was I in a serious committed relationship? Carlos, this reminds me of Julia Roberts, Danny Motor. She hit on him, boom, leaves his wife.
So, here is what I`m thinking, Carlos, go with me. These women, Danny Motor`s ex, Justin`s Theroux`s ex, they should all start a new reality show called "My Boyfriend Dumped Me For A Celebrity. Now Get Me Out of Here." What do you think? Ratings gold? Are you with me?
DIAZ: Taryn, I will go with you.
BRILL: Thanks, Carlos.
DIAZ: This is not the first time Patty Stanger has spoken out about Jen`s relationship with Justin. Watch what she told SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
PATTY STANGER, CELEBRITY MATCHMAKER: Hopefully, she`s going to rope this one, get the ring. I don`t recommend living together, they moved in together. She broke my rule on that. But hopefully she is-she looks like she`s glowing. She could be pregnant for all I know.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
DIAZ: You got to move in together. You got to test drive the car before you buy it. Michael Billy, should Jen listen to Patty and slow things down, should she do what a lot of people do on the millionaire matchmaker, and just ignore Patty?
MICHAEL BILLY, TV & RADIO HOST: Absolutely ignore Patty. Listen, back off, Stanger. I`ve been waiting for this relationship for a very long time. I need Jennifer Aniston to be very happy and I`m very pro Just-Jen, OK? This woman has suffered enough. Back off, Stanger, and let her be happy. Let us all be happy.
DIAZ: All right. Well, Patty Stanger`s comments are certainly provocative. Sorry, Patty, you did you not make the cut of the nominees of SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s most provocative celebrity of the week. Let`s look at who did make the cut.
Will it be Mila Kunis? The "Friends With Benefits" star sparked an outrage of controversy claiming that people who are having trouble losing weight just aren`t trying hard enough. And then there`s Camille Grammer for saying her ex, Kelsey Grammer, has a small -- just say its below the belt. Or will it be Bert and Ernie for the public demand that the "Sesame Street" characters have a gay marriage, come out as a gay couple.
Michael, tough choice this week. Let me get your vote.
BILLY: Obviously Bert and Ernie. I don`t mean to out anybody. But my boyfriend and I have definitely been to their house on Fire Island for dinner, OK? All I`m saying is they are the most controversial because everybody is talking about them. Mila Kunis, nobody likes to hear from a hot person about how easy it is to work out. And Camille, she needs some class. No need to talk about your ex-husband`s attributes
DIAZ: We have to get this, we have to get to this right now. Drum roll please, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s most provocative celebrity of the week is Mila Kunis.
BRILL: What!?
DIAZ: Mila Kunis for suggesting all you need to do is lose weight. Taryn, you are beside yourself. You have 10 seconds to retort.
BRILL: Once again, I`m outraged and betrayed. Camille Grammer went below the belt. That`s unacceptable and way past provocative, Carlos. I`m angry.
DIAZ: I think Michael Billy just went below the belt as well. I don`t know.
All right, guys. I have to go. Taryn Winter Brill, Michael Billy, thanks so much.
