Hello. I`m A.J. Hammer with sordid secrets exposed. The explosive new claims today from the woman at the center of the Secret Service prostitution scandal is making the country`s most trusted law enforcement agency look no better than a bad episode of "Jersey Shore."
These agents were supposed to be securing the safety of President Obama`s trip to Colombia. Instead, they are caught up in a web of sex, lies, and international scandal.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(voice-over) The U.S. Secret Service, one of the most respected, highly trained and, yes, coolest law enforcement agencies in the world.
DANIA SUAREZ, PROSTITUTE (through translator): They seemed like completely stupid idiots.
HAMMER: But today, in her American TV debut with NBC, the Colombian prostitution at the center of the scandal that rocked this storied agency is painting a different picture of the agents she encountered. And it`s not like this. It`s more like this.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We`re all dancing and having a good time fist-pumping.
HAMMER: It`s "Jersey Shore" Secret Service edition.
SUAREZ: I don`t know how Obama has them in his security force. What dumb men.
HAMMER: NBC`s "Today" show aired the show with Dania Londono Suarez who identifies herself as the prostitute whose dalliance with a member of the president`s security detail has turned into a major embarrassment for the agency.
ALEXIS TERESZCUK, ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR, "RADAR ONLINE": She does not paint a good picture of the Secret Service at all.
HAMMER: The 24-year-old told NBC`s Michelle Kosinski what happened that night she first encountered the Secret Service agents at this bar in Colombia when they were in town preparing for President Obama`s trip to Colombia.
SUAREZ: They were full of themselves. There was another crazy guy that would jump up on the bar.
HAMMER: Suarez tells NBC the agents were drinking vodka like it was water. The club scene she paints reminds us of a typical hip hop video.
(MUSIC)
Except these agents apparently didn`t have nearly enough cash to make it rain, Lil` Wayne style. But we`ll get to that in a minute. Anyway, Suarez also tells NBC the agents displayed an exhibitionist streak.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They liked to show off their bodies. Great bodies. Well-defined abs. They liked attention. I was surprised every time he danced with me, he lifted up his sweater so I could see.
HAMMER: Wow. Sounds like The Situation would be right at home with this situation.
TERESZCUK: It`s good for the Secret Service they`re in shape. That`s important. You need to be in shape when you`re protecting the president.
HAMMER: Suarez tells NBC she got close to one agent. And using a universal language, she made it perfectly clear some alone time with her would be costly.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: These are very basic words - sex, sexo, cash, money, dinero. I made a sign with my fingers so that he couldn`t pretend that I was charging $80 or $0.80. OK. No problem. Let`s go.
HAMMER: And go they did, to this hotel. And then Suarez says she and her new agent friend consummated their new business relationship. Everything was lovely until the next morning.
TERESZCUK: That`s when she asked for her money and that is when all the problems started.
HAMMER: After the loving, Suarez tells NBC her new friend refused to pay the agreed upon $800. Instead, she says he gave her $50 and kicked her out of the room. She went to the cops and this wild night out blew up into a major scandal, congressional hearings and even a presidential joke.
BARACK OBAMA, UNITED STATES PRESIDENT: I have to get the Secret Service home in time for their new curfew.
(LAUGHTER)
HAMMER: "Radar Online`s" Alexis Tereszcuk tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT the Secret Service agents failed to learn from Charlie Sheen`s even costlier escort scandal.
TERESZCUK: Charlie Sheen`s girlfriend - she wanted money. He wouldn`t give it to her. The cops got called. You saw what happened after that. He lost his job. Give the hooker the money.
HAMMER: So far, eight agents have lost their jobs in the scandal. But after her American TV debut, Suarez`s career prospects are looking up.
TERESZCUK: She says she has a book deal that`s in the works.
HAMMER: So even though Suarez never got her $800, instead something even more valuable - 15 minutes of fame for one night`s work.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
On a final note, NBC says they did not pay Suarez for an interview. The whole thing just boggles the mind.
And now, another real life soap opera playing out involving money, lots and lots of money. The supermodel versus the super-rich billionaire in a battle over big bucks.
Supermodel Linda Evangelista, famous for once saying she wouldn`t get out of bed for less than $10,000, is battling in court with the billionaire father of her child, a man who also happens to be Salma Hayek`s husband.
He is Francois Henri Pinault. And at stake, big time child support for Evangelista`s five-year-old son with him. "People" magazine is now reporting that they have come to an agreement.
But keeping up with all of this drama means rolling out the SHOWBIZ flowchart. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Kareen Wynter is in Hollywood tonight. Kareen, this is just unbelievable to me.
KAREEN WYNTER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: You know, A.J., this is really an epic battle that reads like a movie script, starring a supermodel, a movie star, and a French tycoon.
All right. Let me break it down for you. In the middle there, we see billionaire Francois Henri Pinault. On the left is Linda who`s demanding $46,000 a month, this in child support, which she says she spends on their five-year-old son. Expensive kid. Now, he claims she didn`t want support at first.
On the right there is his wife - we all know here - superstar actress, Salma Hayek. And it was actually revealed in court that their daughter has a $12 million home in trust. You know, A.J., Linda`s lawyers really drove home that contrast.
HAMMER: Well, if she gets whatever this amount is, rumored to be around $46,000 a month in child support, that would be a new record in New York. But what does she say all that money goes to, Kareen?
WYNTER: Well, you know, Linda says at least half of that goes to armed bodyguards to protect their son and for nannies that work around the clock. We`re talking 24 hours a day.
And Linda`s lawyer claimed in court that, you know, she needs the money, pointing out that her $1.8 million a year income, that it took a nosedive last year, A.J., after her contract with L`Oreal cosmetics ended.
HAMMER: I can see why you`d want nearly $50,000 a month if that`s, in fact, what happened here. Let me bring in Sunny Hostin, legal contributor with "In Session" on Tru TV and a former federal prosecutor.
So Francois claims that he offered Evangelista child support, offered her a number. She responded with a lawsuit. What do you think was going on there?
SUNNY HOSTIN, LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR, "IN SESSION": Well, he didn`t offer her enough. And I think this has very much to do with the fact he is married now to Salma Hayek, this gorgeous, gorgeous sort of movie star and they have a child together.
What mother would want another woman`s child to get more than her child? And we know that Linda Evangelista`s child is older, so he`s the first born child.
So I suspect, A.J., there was a lot of hurt feelings - a lot of hurt feelings going on as well as just a bit of competition between the two women.
HAMMER: Yes. Oh, it`s not strictly fiscal. There are definitely emotions playing into this thing.
HOSTIN: Yes.
HAMMER: And yes, Francois is a billionaire. He has money to be give to be sure. He revealed in court where a lot of that money goes. Kareen, it is so good to be as uber-rich as this man. What exactly was revealed?
WYNTER: A.J., these numbers are just absolutely astounding. In 2010, Francois, he spent $62,000 in clothes, vacations that ran him $200,000.
And we`re not done yet. And the upkeep on his garden which cost a mere $45,000. These numbers, I tell you, unbelievable.
HAMMER: Yes. I was going to say $45,000 on a garden, honestly, in the grand scheme of things, not a huge sum of money.
But Sunny, based on that kind of spending, do you think those revelations in court sort of put the pressure on Francois to pay up and settle this thing?
HOSTIN: There`s no question because a judge looking at that is thinking, well, actually, you`ve got money.
HAMMER: Right.
HOSTIN: You may have money to burn. If you can spend $45,000 a month on a gardener, then certainly, you can spend $46,000 a month to take care of your child.
So I suspect once the judge got that entire picture, there`s no question that Francois decided "I better settle this out of court rather than have a judge tell me how much money I need to provide."
HAMMER: Yes, and more details will be coming out. You want to hear another wealthy man`s take on this whole thing?
HOSTIN: Yes.
HAMMER: Because I spoke to Donald Trump earlier today before reports came out that these guys settled. And Donald didn`t think there should be or would be a settlement. Here`s what he said.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, BILLIONAIRE BUSINESS TYCOON: It`s nice if you can, but you don`t want to be taken advantage of either. And it`s certainly nice to get it settled. Settlement is always the best. It doesn`t seem like that`s going to happen.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: It doesn`t seem that that`s going to happen. And of course, he looked at me and said, "You know, A.J., I`ve been there."
HOSTIN: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) he was taken advantage of? How do you take advantage of a billionaire?
HAMMER: Are you at all surprised there was a settlement? It really seemed like it was the only way this thing was going to go from my perspective. But you work with these types of cases.
HOSTIN: Yes. No, I don`t think it`s a surprise to those of us that watch cases like this because, again, you don`t want a court mandating how much you`re going to give and sort of with a magnifying glass looking over your finances and then releasing it to the media and the world.
And so this is the kind of case that you want to keep behind closed doors and he did the right thing by doing that.
HAMMER: Yes. And who knows if wife Salma said, "You know, what, buddy? Put this thing to bed. I don`t want to be in the news for this reason."
HOSTIN: Exactly.
HAMMER: All right. Sunny Hostin, always appreciate it. Thanks so much. We move on now to a lot more Hollywood drama tonight.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You know what? You are a (EXPLETIVE DELETED) pain in the ass. I had to kind of create out of my ass yesterday something for you to do. We could have handled those puppets, believe me.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: She is outspoken to be sure, controversial, and now, she`s fired. Donald trump cans comedian Lisa Lampanelli on "Celebrity Apprentice" after weeks of wild boardroom drama.
Well, tonight - I love this woman - Lisa right here for a must-see headline-making SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview. Does she think the Donald actually made the right move?
Also J. Lo`s mommy confession.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JENNIFER LOPEZ, ACTRESS AND SINGER: I wanted kids so badly and I felt like I couldn`t have them either. It just wasn`t happening for me after I got married. And I was just like - I`m not so bad but I wanted it so bad.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: It seems like Jennifer Lopez can do anything. She`s a superstar singer, movie actress, amazing dancer. But tonight, J. Lo opens up to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT about why she fears she might never become a mother. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN.
Sasha Baron Cohen tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT why his character, "The Dictator," is a lot like George Clooney.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SACHA BARON COHEN, ACTOR: I also have a lot in common with George Clooney. We are both champions of equality. You know, in my country, women have the same rights as men. Absolutely not.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer. Tonight, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT goes one on one with megastar Will Smith for a SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview.
Now, after taking four years off, Will Smith is finally coming back to the big screen for "Men in Black III." Yes, I know. I can`t believe it either. It`s been four years. Trust me, it has.
I don`t know if it has something to do with all that time off, but I can tell you Will is opening up to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT in a big way.
SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Nischelle Turner caught up with the blockbuster actor and he made some serious daddy confessions that you have got to hear.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
NISCHELLE TURNER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: No, I`m serious. Was there any doubt that - and I`ll give you a chance to be proud papa - that you weren`t going to have these amazingly creative kids.
WILL SMITH, ACTOR: Listen, you know, it`s always - it`s, you know, with kids and parenting and all of that stuff, it`s always is scary proposition.
We try to just grant them their freedom, you know, and it really is the - if there`s a major adjustment that we`ve made from our upbringing is that we don`t impose our will on them.
We allow them to create their lives as they see fit and we help them build their lives more than demanding that they satiate our egos with their behavior.
TURNER: Where did you learn that though? Because I mean you said, "I grew up in West Philly."
SMITH: Yes.
TURNER: Where did you learn to have that mindset of "I`m going to let my kids be free"?
SMITH: You know, it was really just the things, you know, for Jada and I, we`re really similar in that way in how we grew and things we bucked against growing up.
TURNER: Yes.
SMITH: And we just wanted to create a place that nourished and nurtured in the way that we wished that we had been nourished and nurtured.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Insightful. Nischelle also spoke with Will about his 13-year-old son Jayden`s huge success as an actor. And check this out - she asked Will if he would ever consider getting Jayden into the blockbuster "Men in Black" franchises, perhaps a younger version of his character, Agent J.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TURNER: We say why not Jayden play the young Agent J?
SMITH: See, that`s the thing, because he barely tried to push me out of my movie, you know what I mean? As I can see, Jayden is already - he`s 13 years old, right?
So he`s at that mythological boy`s age, you know. It would be time for his Bro Mitzvah(ph), you know what I mean? So he`s right at that place. And he`s looking at me a little funky now. He`s ready to test me, and so he can come nowhere near my movies right now.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: I get (UNINTELLIGIBLE) Jayden in "Men in Black IV." All right. We move on now to Jay-Z`s brand-new daddy confession, why he told Oprah that his daughter is going to be spoiled.
Plus, Cameron Diaz`s new baby confession. Does the marriage-hating superstar really want a family?
And Coldplay`s moving tribute to Beastie Boys` Adam Yauch. That tops "The Buzz Today."
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(voice-over) Coldplay remembers.
(MUSIC)
The rockers paid tribute to rapper Adam "MCA" Yauch Friday night just hours after learning of his tragic passing. Coldplay played a sentimental version of the rap group`s hit song, "Fight for Your Right."
(MUSIC)
HAMMER: Forty-seven-year-old Adam Yauch died Friday after battling cancer for nearly three years.
Cameron`s baby confessions? Cameron Diaz opens up to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT about starting her own family. While promoting her upcoming film, "What to Expect When You`re Expecting," Diaz revealed that she`s always been surrounded by children and she`d definitely like to have her own one day.
CAMERON DIAZ, ACTRESS: You know, I love children. I have so many children in my life. I have been an auntie 15 years, you know. I have 15, 12, 11, and three-year-old sons, you know, across the ages.
So kids are amazing and I would be so open to having my own family, you know, whenever that`s meant to be.
Jay-Z`s daddy confessions. Jay-Z admits that his daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, will probably be the most spoiled kid ever. In a brand-new for Oprah`s Master Class Special Edition, Jay-Z shares what kind of dad he might be to Blue Ivy.
JAY-Z CARTER, MUSICIAN AND MUSIC PRODUCER: Everyone imagines they`ll be a great dad until they`re teenagers, saying, "Get away from me dad. You`re embarrassing me."
Everyone imagines that, right? But you know, I imagine I would take things I learned from my mom and things I learned from, you know, raising my nephews and apply that.
And then, you know, at the end of the day I just know I`ll probably have the worst spoiled little kid ever.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
HAMMER: Yes. I bet that`s going to happen. Moving on now to Justin Bieber`s unlikely new pal. The Biebs just spent the weekend in Las Vegas with boxing bad boy, Floyd Mayweather.
Yes, he was ringside with Mayweather right after his big fight. Is Justin trying to scruff up his clean-cut image?
Take that, Hollywood. "The Avengers" just busted up a Hollywood record. SHOWBIZ reveals how the superheroes are making super-cash. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN.
And here`s the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT first look at Nicki Minaj`s new Pepsi commercial set to her song, "Moment 4 Life."
(MUSIC)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: What do we call ourselves?
ROBERT DOWNEY, JR., ACTOR: Earth`s mightiest heroes.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: I think we have an army.
DOWNEY: We have a hulk.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: All hail the superheroes. They are protecting the world from evil and taking Hollywood by storm. "The Avengers" opened this weekend, and with the help of the hulk, it smashed box office records for the biggest opening haul ever on a weekend.
That`s right. The supercharged superhero movie pulverized the competition and had the biggest opening weekend in the history of Hollywood. So how much did the superhero posse bring in?
Well, listen to this. In the U.S. alone, "The Avengers" made $200 million, $30 million more than the previous record holder, the "Harry Potter" franchise finale.
Worldwide, the superheroes smash brought in another $150 million. Since the movie opened last week, it has made more than $640 million.
I can tell you there have been super-lines forming around the country to get into "The Avengers" like this. Look at this video where iReporter Kidd Daylen(ph) shot at the movie theater outside of Chicago. Kidd told us that the line was the longest he had ever seen for a movie.
From big box office to a big new role for Rob Lowe. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can reveal that Lifetime has just snapped up Rob to star in its new movie all about America`s most infamous mom, Casey Anthony.
Earlier this year, Lowe did a Lifetime movie playing Drew Peterson, the former cop accused of killing his wife. Well, this time around, he gets to play a good guy, Casey Anthony`s prosecutor, Jeff Ashton.
The movie is based on Ashton`s book about the trial that riveted the country. Ashton just told HLN he thinks the choice is a great idea telling us, "I`m flattered that Lifetime has chosen Rob Lowe to play me in a movie about my book."
"I wish I had his boyish good looks. When I told my wife she asked, `So does this mean that I`m married to Rob Lowe now?`"
Yes, who wouldn`t be flattered to be played by Rob Lowe? Well, the big buzz now is who`s going to be cast as Casey Anthony?
We want to know what you think about that. Here`s our SHOWBIZ TONIGHT exclusive. If Rob Lowe is cast as the prosecutor in the Lifetime Movie about Casey Anthony, who should play Casey? Lacey Chaber, Jennifer Love Hewitt or Emma Stone?

(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: She`s fired. Controversial comedian, Lisa Lampanelli, a boardroom brawler on "Celebrity Apprentice." But in a jaw-dropping turn of events, she`s been fired.
I spoke with her former boss, Donald Trump, today to get his side of the story. And tonight, Lisa`s here telling me how she feels about what really went down.

Paternity issues of Kardashian proportions. New questions about Khloe not being a biological member of the family.

HAMMER: The latest caught-on-tape Kardashian catastrophe.
ANNOUNCER: TV`s most provocative entertainment news show continues right now.
(MUSIC)
HAMMER: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. Thank you for watching. I`m A.J. Hammer. Tonight, you`re fired. Double trouble for Donald Trump on last night`s "Celebrity Apprentice."
In what I thought was just a jaw-dropping turn of events, Trump fired "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star, Teresa Giudice and controversial comedian, Lisa Lampanelli.
Lisa has survived the fiery feud with Diana Mendoza and some major head- butting in the boardroom, shedding lots of tears, dropping lots of F-bombs. Personally, I think it was Robert.
I was shocked to see her go. But it was her tough-as-nails attitude that kept her going. Or was it that attitude or her surprising boardroom breakdowns that actually got her fired?
I got to ask Donald Trump about that. I`ll have his take in just a moment. But first, joining me right now in New York, the very funny, the very talented, the very lovely Lisa Lampanelli.
LAMPANELLI: Hey.
HAMMER: It`s been great to see you through this season.
LAMPANELLI: Wasn`t it fun? Admit it. It was the best week ever.
HAMMER: It was a lot of fun, but I have umbrage to take.
LAMPANELLI: Yes.
HAMMER: I take issue with something. I heard you tell somebody - we were together earlier in the day, and you told somebody else after you won the $100,000 for your charity to Gay Men`s Health Crisis, you knew that, basically, the writing was on the wall. You were going to get fired. Nonsense, Lisa.
LAMPANELLI: No, I just felt it in my gut, A.J.
HAMMER: No, that`s just B.S. No. Come on.
LAMPANELLI: I`m a woman. I`m 50 years old. I go with my gut. I said to myself, "I think it`s my time." I swear, not like I didn`t fight for myself, not like I didn`t tell Marlee and John what was what, because you saw me in those interviews. I really threw down with them.
HAMMER: Yes.
LAMPANELLI: But I said - I don`t know. A part of me thinks I`m going to get fired for emotions because that`s what happened to Meatloaf, and who`s more like Meatloaf than me?
(CROSS TALK)
HAMMER: You might as well be twins. I mean, come on. You did show a great deal of emotion, especially when it came down to fellow "Celebrity Apprentice" star, Diana Mendoza.
LAMPANELLI: Yes, yes.
HAMMER: Shall we watch that?
LAMPANELLI: Of course. 0
HAMMER: Let`s watch that together.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
LAMPANELLI: You know what? You`re a (EXPLETIVE DELETED) pain in the ass. I had to kind of create out of my ass yesterday something for you to do. We could have freaking handled those puppets, believe me.
We could have glued some (EXPLETIVE DELETED) makeup and some (EXPLETIVE DELETED) glued something on that (EXPLETIVE DELETED) puppet.
DIANA MENDOZA, "CELEBRITY APPRENTICE" STAR: But you did it.
LAMPANELLI: Yes, but guess what? Because we had to create something for you to do again.
MENDOZA: Because you are the one deciding what you wanted me to do.
LAMPANELLI: I`m so not fighting with you. Just shut up, OK?
MENDOZA: You`re the one deciding what you want me to do.
LAMPANELLI: Shut up.
MENDOZA: You`re the project manager and I`m here to do what you want me to do.
LAMPANELLI: Do whatever you want. Bring out the box. Do what you want. Never is involved enough. (EXPLETIVE DELETED), baby.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
LAMPANELLI: I`m sorry.
HAMMER: You kept the censors busy. I thought I was watching "The Osbournes." I mean, are you serious with all the B thing going on?
LAMPANELLI: You know, they just get you. You`re so overtired and you`re stressed from working with people who bug you that you`re like, "I`ve just got to let it fly." That was fun to watch. See, this is how every Sunday night was in my house for the last 13 weeks.
HAMMER: Why? Because you didn`t see it until we all got to see it. And you were happy with how they showed you?.
LAMPANELLI: Loved it.
HAMMER: Did they actually make you look better than you really are?
LAMPANELLI: Oh, no, no, no. I`m that bad. The funny thing is like everybody complain about edits. Oh, they misrepresented me. That`s exactly how I am.
HAMMER: Yes.
LAMPANELLI: Imagine my poor husband has to live with that. Poor thing. But I`m rich, so what does he care?
HAMMER: Really? You`re honest about it. And your rate`s going up now because you`ve been there on the big show with Donald Trump.
And you were right there today when I was speaking with Donald about you. And even though you were fired, the mere mention of your name causes his face to light up with a smile.
LAMPANELLI: See. He loves me.
HAMMER: Let`s see what he says about you.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TRUMP: She was nicely fired though and she knew it was coming. And she`s a special person and she really did a great job. And she`s a big beneficiary of the success of the show.
HAMMER: I think she`s a changed person because of the show. What about you?
TRUMP: I don`t know. Lisa, are you changed? I don`t know if you`ll ever change. And we don`t want to change her. She`s unique and she`s terrific and she`s funny and she`s going to do great.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: I`ve got to say, I do think - you know, and I`ve watched your career for a long time. I`ve listened to you for a long time. I do think you`re changed in a way.
LAMPANELLI: Well, I think it showed people more how comics also have emotions, like we`re not just, you know, ha-ha funny 24/7. We cry when we`re upset or our feelings get hurt. We yell when we`re angry. We`re just like everybody else, so I loved it.
HAMMER: And we get to see how smart you really are.
LAMPANELLI: That was kind of cool.
HAMMER: That`s cool, you and Penn. I thought that was really (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Of course, Donald said, "I think she`s a special person."
(CROSS TALK)
LAMPANELLI: Yes. I didn`t know what he meant by special. What does he mean? Special ed? Who knows?
HAMMER: What`s the biggest thing that you learned from this entire experience? Because, honestly, it`s like nothing you`ve ever done before.
LAMPANELLI: I think it`s never to do a reality show again. No. It`s just exhausting. I would actually do another show like this. This is how nuts I am.
HAMMER: You would do it?
LAMPANELLI: Yes, I would. I think me and Diana need to have our own show.
HAMMER: I think so.
LAMPANELLI: Yes, I will -
HAMMER: Hold on a second. Would you and Diana Mendoza actually do your own show if somebody pitched it to you?
LAMPANELLI: If they called it "Driving Miss Crazy," I would say yes, because I`d be crazy.
HAMMER: I think that`s a perfect idea, put the two of you in an RV, send you off along route 66.
LAMPANELLI: Oh, my god. I think she`d kill me. I really do. See, that`s what`s funny. After "The Apprentice," you let it all go. You don`t hate anybody. Yes, you yell. You scream. But whatever. I spent all morning with Teresa today and we had a big fight last night, so it`s all good.
HAMMER: Yes. Well, the fight last night was really months and months ago.
LAMPANELLI: Sure. We`ve let it go.
HAMMER: So now, we have Clay Aiken who I know you`re a big fan of.
LAMPANELLI: Yes, love him.
HAMMER: You were here with him when the show was first getting underway. You have Arsenio Hall and Aubrey O`Day, who I know you also became a huge fan of.
LAMPANELLI: Love her.
HAMMER: Who wins this thing in your mind?
LAMPANELLI: I don`t know, dude. I`m very torn between Clay and Aubrey, and I`ll tell you why. Clay, I think, just has a lot of heart. Hardworking guy.
But look at Aubrey, man. Brains and beauty. And come on, she`s a very quick talking broad. She knows how to defend herself. So I don`t know those two may be going for it. But who knows? Arsenio might come out of nowhere.
HAMMER: And the truth is, even Donald Trump today told me that he does not know sometimes until that finale is underway. And somebody gets in his ear and tells him. No, he doesn`t know necessarily who`s going to win this thing.
LAMPANELLI: Yes, it`s very - they argue it right up to the last minute. I`m a fan of the show. I`ve watched it for years. And right until that last second, he, I don`t think, knows which way it`s going to go. This is going to be so exciting. I can`t wait.
HAMMER: And prior to "Celebrity Apprentice," your opinion of Donald Trump? Your impression of the guy?
LAMPANELLI: Well, as you know, I roasted him twice in the past 10 years.
HAMMER: Right.
LAMPANELLI: Loved him. Knew he could take a joke. So I always respected him. Now, I like him even more, not only is he funny and can really throw down and have big opinions like I have. I still love him. I can`t help it but I drank the Kool-Aid.
HAMMER: Well, you know that I think you are one of the best celebrity roasters on the planet. I think that`s a widely-held opinion. Speaking of roasting, shall we talk about tan mom?
LAMPANELLI: Yes. What`s going on there?
(CROSS TALK)
HAMMER: Let`s talk about tan mom. And before we actually get into it and I get your take on this overly-tan woman from New Jersey, we have to see how "Saturday Night Live" gave her their special treatment this weekend. Roll that, please.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KRISTEN WIIG, COMEDIAN: The point is, Seth, anyone can look like me. It`s not just the tanning. It`s also the right beauty products.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Really? Because you look like a baseball glove.
WIIG: That is not an accident, Seth. I follow the Wilson athletic beauty routine.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What is the Wilson athletic beauty routine?
WIIG: Every night I rub my face with Murphy`s Oil Soak. Then I put a baseball in my mouth and sleep with my head under the mattress. And now, I have the look every woman dreams of, Wile E. Coyote, right after something blows up in his face.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: So apparently anybody can have that look. Just follow those step- by-step instructions. Of course, that`s a spoof of the tan mom, Patricia Krentcil. We have reaction from her tonight.
LAMPANELLI: Oh.
HAMMER: Yes. She`s responding, saying, Kristen Wiig`s skit was hysterical and well done. I don`t know if that was an intentional pun there.
LAMPANELLI: It`s funny.
HAMMER: Now, tan mom thinks that her critics, including Snooki, who has criticized her, are jealous, fat and ugly. Are you jealous of the tan mom?
LAMPANELLI: I think she`s talking about Snooki. Wait a minute. So you`re jealous of her if you make fun of her?
HAMMER: You`re jealous, fat and ugly. Yes.
LAMPANELLI: I think tan mom is just a mental case, and that`s OK. She`s from New Jersey. Just cut off the borders and leave her there. I mean, we need to take Jersey and flush it.
HAMMER: I love all our jersey viewers. We love you. Lisa Lampanelli actually loves you.
LAMPANELLI: I do. I do.
HAMMER: She spends time at the Molly Pitcher rest area.
LAMPANELLI: Constantly.
HAMMER: Yes. Here`s the thing. People do say that maybe we shouldn`t be making fun of her. She is facing child endangerment charges because she allegedly put her young kid in the tanning bed.
But people are all saying, you know what? Don`t make fun of this woman because she`s potentially facing some major health issues as a result of looking this way and being this way.
LAMPANELLI: Who cares? We get to make fun of anything we want. Because I`ll tell you what - we`re all on the chopping block. One day or another, we`re all going to die.
So you know what? She`s no exception. We get to make fun of her at least until somebody takes back her 15 minutes of fame.
HAMMER: Well, I`m so excited that you are still remaining with "Celebrity Apprentice." We`re going to get to see you in the couple of final episodes and we`ll be hanging out, I`m sure, at the finale.
LAMPANELLI: Can`t wait.
HAMMER: Always great to have you here, Lisa.
LAMPANELLI: Love you, man. Thank you.
HAMMER: Thanks for being here. Make sure you catch the continuing drama on "Celebrity Apprentice" which, of course, airs Sunday nights on NBC.
Well, we move on now to Justin Bieber`s new bestie boxing champ, Floyd Mayweather. Yes, the teen heartthrob and Pretty Boy Floyd were hamming it up after Saturday`s big fight.
But did the Biebs just call a man who is heading to jail for domestic abuse his mentor? SHOWBIZ dares to ask, is Justin putting his reputation on the ropes?
Jennifer Lopez`s soul-baring baby confessions. Wait until you hear this tonight. Jennifer tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT how her new movie stirred up some old fears.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
LOPEZ: I wanted kids so badly. And I felt like I couldn`t have them either. It just wasn`t happening for me after I got married. I was just like, maybe I`m not supposed to have them, but I wanted it so bad.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Plus, Jennifer`s heartfelt new revelations about fellow superstar moms Angelina Jolie and Madonna. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN.
Elizabeth Banks speaks to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT about "The Hunger Games." Director Gary Ross not returning for the sequel.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ELIZABETH BANKS, ACTRESS: I think Gary is - I mean, he seems to be doing great. If he`s happy, I`m happy. I`m really excited to get to know Francis and just get back to work.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(MUSIC)
HAMMER: Well, there you have it. Rihanna`s explosive performance on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend. The seductive singer belted out songs while treating audiences to some sexy dance moves. But were her moves too racy?
Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer. More on Rihanna`s racy act in just a moment. But first, Bieber`s new best friend?
This is so wild to me. Justin Bieber raised more than a few eyebrows over the weekend when he showed up with boxing champ, Floyd Mayweather, for Mayweather`s big title match against Miguel Cotto.
Now, Floyd won the fight and he has a little time to celebrate before heading to jail on a domestic violence charge. So tonight, understandably, people are still trying to shake the image of Bieber as part of Mayweather`s bad boy entourage. The big question - is Bieber`s rep now on the ropes?
With me in New York, TV and radio host, Michael Billy. Joining me from Hollywood, Kim Serafin, senior editor for "In Touch Weekly." Some reports out there say Mayweather reached out to Bieber and offered to mentor him.
Apparently, Mayweather was very impressed with Bieber after seeing "Never Say Never." And I, too, believe everybody needs a mentor, but Michael, should Justin really be choosing a guy that is heading to jail next month on a domestic abuse charge?
MICHAEL BILLY, TV AND RADIO HOST: Absolutely not. Call the Jonas Brothers and go on a lunch date. Why would you choose this guy?
Look, there is a history of people in the music business who have issues with domestic violence, boxing, sports. Yes, it exists. It`s not like we stop becoming fans of them.
But as an 18-year-old kid to go out there and choose him as a mentor? Where`s his mother just pulling him by the ear and saying stop that?
HAMMER: Justin, you get over here right now.
BILLY: It`s the wrong crew.
HAMMER: All right. Here`s our SHOWBIZ flashpoint - is Justin Bieber putting his reputation on the ropes by hanging out with Mayweather? Kim, are we overreacting here? I mean, please.
KIM SERAFIN, SENIOR EDITOR, "IN TOUCH WEEKLY": You know, on one hand, Justin is obviously trying to become a more mature musician. He doesn`t want to just appeal to tween girls anymore.
And honestly, a lot of his fan base probably doesn`t even know who Floyd Mayweather is. So on that level, I don`t think you`re going to see the bad association.
On the other hand, it really - for someone like Justin Bieber who has such a squeaky clean image, it does seem kind of an odd choice to be choosing him to be your mentor. It seems a little bit odd.
But again, Justin`s trying to get out of that tween music business and he wants to be taken more as an adult musician. So it makes sense that he`s going to broaden his horizon.
HAMMER: All right. Let`s just hope he doesn`t, you know, now wind up in jail himself or strung out in a club.
BILLY: Get him to a fight at Chuck E. Cheese.
HAMMER: It`s a slippery slope, I tell you.
BILLY: If you want to be that kind of kid.
HAMMER: Well, one family that certainly doesn`t seem to worry about their reputation is the Kardashians. Now, last night, I couldn`t help but notice that a clip promoting the upcoming new episode of "Khloe and Lamar" reopened the controversy over who is Khloe`s real father. Watch this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Next on "Khloe and Lamar."
KHLOE KARDASHIAN: I know how you had an affair with my dad and who knows how many times.
JENNER: It was one time, Khloe.
KHLOE KARDASHIAN: She had an affair around the year I was born. That doesn`t make me comforted.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You don`t think you`re related to us? You have an insecurity issue.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Why don`t we just get a DNA test?
KHLOE KARDASHIAN: It scares me. But what if I`m really not?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: OK. I mean, this is just so strange to me. I find it so completely odd that they would even bring this up, let alone focus so strongly on it, considering how outraged this family was about those wild reports over this just a couple months ago.
Our next SHOWBIZ flashpoint - could the Kardashians be fueling the daddy rumors for ratings? I mean, Michael, the Kardashians would never throw a story like this into the mix just for ratings, would they?
BILLY: Of course not. That would be ridiculous. I mean, that`s like saying one of the Kardashians is going to put on this whole marriage thing. You know, that`s ridiculous.
HAMMER: Couldn`t do that.
BILLY: Come on, people. I don`t believe it for a second. This is absolutely ridiculous and distasteful. Robert, the Kardashian father, a guy who`s been since long - passed a very long time ago.
Very distasteful. Not my cup of tea. Totally ridiculous. Not a big fan. And possibly, I`ll give them credit. Maybe I would say James Gandolfini could possibly be the father. I don`t know.
HAMMER: I don`t know about that. I like James Gandolfini.
(CROSS TALK)
All right. Well, speaking of ratings, the ratings for "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend, slightly above normal. Eli Manning was the host. The musical guest was the lovely Rihanna.
And of course, Rihanna`s racy act still getting some big buzz tonight. Now, first, she was actually a no-show for her final "SNL" rehearsal. That reportedly didn`t sit too well with the show`s producers.
Rihanna`s people told SHOWBIZ TONIGHT because she was sick, not feeling well, had to rest her voice. But I`m thinking maybe, just maybe, she wanted to surprise the producers with her sexy number for the show which she got away with.
(MUSIC)
You know, I like Rihanna a whole lot. I`m certainly no prude, but I must ask. It is my responsibility here as a professional. Our final SHOWBIZ flashpoint - was Rihanna too racy on "SNL"? Or was it just classic Rihanna? Kim?
SERAFIN: I think when you invite Rihanna to perform and she`s promoting a new movie - she`s in "Battleship" - you know you`re going to get something that pushes the limits a little bit.
She definitely doesn`t live by anybody`s rules but her own. She did those songs with Chris Brown who a lot of people thought maybe it was a bad idea, but she did it anyway.
She wasn`t apologetic about it. So when you invite Rihanna to perform, you know you`re going to get that. So I don`t think anyone should be surprised at all.
HAMMER: And that is why we love Rihanna. Michael Billy, Kim Serafin, thank you both so much.
We move on now to Jennifer Lopez`s new baby confessions. The mom of twins is telling SHOWBIZ TONIGHT about her biggest motherhood fear.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
LOPEZ: I wanted kids so badly. And I felt like I couldn`t have them either. It just wasn`t happening for me after I got married. I was just like, maybe I`m not supposed to have them. But I wanted it so bad.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Wait until you hear this. What is the beautiful thing Jennifer admires about fellow superstar moms Angelina Jolie and Madonna? This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN.
SHOWBIZ first look. Glee covers One Direction`s hit, "What Makes You Beautiful."
(MUSIC)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Jennifer`s big mother hood fear. Jennifer Lopez seems to be able to rock in everything she does. I mean, she`s a singer, a dancer, "American Idol" judge and movie star, of course.
And Jennifer is actually back on the big screen right now in "What to Expect When You`re Expecting." She just made a soul-baring confession about the one thing she thought she might not be able to accomplish. That`s motherhood.
SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Kareen Wynter joins me now. What`s she saying, Kareen?
KAREEN WYNTER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: Well, Jennifer opened up to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, A.J., about her motherhood fears. And she also revealed how her new movie role opened her mind to something she had never considered before - adoption. Watch this.
LOPEZ: My character, Holly, in the movie can`t have a baby and she feels like she wants one so badly. And I actually did know those feelings because I wanted kids so badly and I felt like I couldn`t have them either.
It just want happening for me after I got married. I was like maybe I`m not supposed to have them. But I wanted it so bad. And so that was kind of my way into her character, you know.
And then as far as the adopting part, towards the end, you know, when they first introduced the babies to us, they bring these little Ethiopian twins in. And we met their mom and dad, you know, who had adopted them.
And we held them. And you really see how you could love a child that is not your own, that you never met before, with the hopes of raising it as one of your family. And I was like, "Oh, I understand this."
WYNTER: So interesting. You know, Jennifer, she also has a newfound respect for celebrity adoptive moms like Madonna and Angelina Jolie.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
LOPEZ: I commend them for it. I think it`s a beautiful thing. I think it`s a very selfless act of love to adopt a child that you don`t know, never seen before, never met before. It`s a beautiful thing.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WYNTER: A beautiful thing, indeed. I`m there with you, Jen. A.J.?
HAMMER: Yes. She makes me smile. I`m there with her too. All right. Let`s move on to another mom of a completely different kind, shall we? And talk about octomom`s porn debut.
I know you`ve been waiting for it. And tonight, we have it. The very first photo from her X-rated movie set.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: "They made me look so glamorous." That`s what octomom just said about her brand-new porn shoot on the blog "Naught But Nice Rob."
And tonight, we get a PG-rated peek Nadya Suleman`s X-rated debut. Let`s take a look at it. There she is, ladies and gentlemen. Octomom posing in a bikini.
SHOWBIZ TONIGHT first broke the news that octomom, Nadya Suleman, was open to doing porn to help support her 14 kids.
So here`s what she said about this big gig, "My first shoot was amazing, such a learning experience for me in so many ways. They made me look so glamorous. And for the first time in my life, I felt beautiful and sexy. I`m very excited for it to come out."
I don`t know what to say so I will end the show there. That is it for SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I am A.J. Hammer. You can catch SHOWBIZ TONIGHT weeknights at 11:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific here on HLN.
Stay right here for "DR. DREW," next. Tonight, the lovely actress Lisa Rinna on marriage, kids and getting her sexy back. "DR. DREW" starts right now.
