THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

A.J. HAMMER, HOST: Tonight, Jessica`s top secrets. Jessica Simpson just revealed her brand-new body today post-baby, and she also revealed the intense pressure that was put on her to drop the baby weight. Tonight, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT is counting down the top secrets of Jessica`s life after becoming a mom.

Thanks for watching. I`m A.J. Hammer. We`ve got two big "SHOWBIZ Countdowns" tonight, including the top five incredible surprises we got today, which includes the brand-new, remarkable news that the former sexiest man alive, Ryan Reynolds, and "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively are married. Who knew?

Also, the incredible surprise that Heidi Klum is speaking out for the very first time about her soon-to-be-ex-husband`s claim that she was sleeping with their bodyguard.

But first, the "SHOWBIZ Countdown" begins today with the top three Jessica Simpson shockers revealed today on the debut of Katie Couric`s new show.

Kicking things off at No. 3, of course, is the big reveal. It was Jessica for the very first time revealing her post-baby body after gaining all that weight.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KATIE COURIC, TALK SHOW HOST: Please welcome Jessica Simpson.

JESSICA SIMPSON, SINGER: Thank you.

COURIC: How are you?

SIMPSON: Hi, everybody.

COURIC: My first guest, this is very exciting.

SIMPSON: Very exciting. I almost peed my pants, to be honest.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: There you saw it and here`s our "SHOWBIZ Flashpoint." Did Jessica live up to the hype?

With me tonight from Hollywood, Heather Dubrow. She`s from "The Real Housewives from Orange County" and is also a mother of four. With me in New York is Ereka Vetrini, a TV host and a mother of two, so I expect great insight from your ladies.

And Ereka, I`m going to start with you. What did you think? Did she live up to the hype after all this waiting to finally see her post-baby body?

EREKA VETRINI, TV HOST: You know, maybe not for some, but for all the mothers out there dealing with their infants, their sleepless nights, not able to get to the gym, no nutritionist, no trainers, none of that, this is exactly the Jessica Simpson they wanted to see, someone honest about the fact that it`s hard, it`s really hard, and, you know, that it`s not just -- even if you`re a celebrity, it doesn`t just fall off like that.

HAMMER: And let`s remember part of the hype was her dropping some hints, not too subtle hints, that she was having a struggle losing the weight. So maybe our expectations weren`t that she was going to walk out somehow stick thin.

In your mind, Heather, did she live up to the hype?

HEATHER DUBROW, REALITY TV STAR: I think she did. I mean, honestly, I think it would have been disturbing if she came out in a bikini. I think she came off as very relatable and great.

And one thing that I was really happy about is that, I mean, even though it was sort of a running commercial for Weight Watchers, she`s promoting healthy eating, which is I think a really great message to send to women in America.

HAMMER: And really being relatable about all that pressure -- you guys know all too well the pressure on new moms. And celebrity moms, it`s even tougher for them, because of course, they`re in the spotlight when they have to lose all that weight after having a baby.

That takes us to No. 2 on our "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of Simpson shockers from her big reveal today. It was Jessica`s confession to Katie Couric that she actually agrees that, yes, there`s too much pressure on new moms. Let`s watch that together.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

COURIC: Do you think that`s putting a lot of pressure on all women to kind of have unrealistic goals?

SIMPSON: Absolutely. I have been the woman that`s looked at the magazines, like, oh, my gosh, how in the world did she do that?

You know, now being in that position, you know, I put on more baby weight than I was planning on putting on, so I think that I really have to separate myself from the world`s expectations.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Yes, and besides feeling a whole lot of pressure to lose the weight, you know, Jessica is also being paid a reported $3 to $4 million to front the Weight Watchers` new ad campaign.

Ereka, do you think -- I don`t know, we`ve been talking about this, really, since she had the baby -- all the pressure could possibly backfire on Jessica, because that can make it harder to lose the weight?

VETRINI: Yes, absolutely. But there`s something -- I have to disagree. You said you think it`s harder on celebrity moms. I have to disagree. And that`s where I got lost in the interview and I started really believing that Jessica was this everyday woman. And she`s not. She`s got nutritionists, and she`s got, you know, a team of people helping her out.

I think it`s actually harder for the everyday woman who doesn`t have that kind of support. So I can`t really feel too, too bad for her. She does -- she has a great deal. And what we -- wouldn`t it be nice if we were all that lucky?

HAMMER: Yes. And to be clear about my point, it wasn`t that it is harder for the celebrity moms to lose the weight. It`s harder in terms of the amount of pressure because perhaps...

VETRINI: True. True, that`s true.

HAMMER: ... they`re on television with that spotlight shining on them every day.

Heather, let me get your take. You`re a reality TV star. You`re an actress. You know something about this. You`ve dealt with it before. What do you think?

DUBROW: Well, I think it`s crazy pressure. I mean, honestly, as an actor, you know, you`re supposed to look a certain way. I mean, there`s a lot of pressure to always look thin and great.

And then someone gives you permission to eat for nine months, and a lot of us tend to go overboard. And then pulling it back in is really difficult.

And you know, look, there`s two sides to it. Of course, it`s a lot easier when someone is writing a seven-figure check to get motivated, but also there is a lot of pressure with everyone looking at you. It`s hard to bounce back, and you`ve got postpartum and you`ve got this little baby to take care of. It`s a lot.

HAMMER: Yes. But she was so relatable talking about how much she did gain which was neat to hear. She said when she was pregnant at one point she weighed more than 170 pounds before she gave birth to her daughter, and that was back on May 1.

DUBROW: We`ve all been there.

VETRINI: Exactly.

HAMMER: That`s right.

VETRINI: She was very honest, though. It was refreshing.

HAMMER: Well, here`s the thing that I think a lot of people actually wanted to hear from her today, how much weight she actually lost. Now, that takes us to No. 1 on our "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of "Simpson Shockers" today.

Well, guess what? She refused to tell Katie Couric exactly how much she lost. All she would say is that it`s been at least 40 pounds. Ereka, does it even matter how much weight she lost so far because people really - - people, like it or not, people wanted to know the number.

VETRINI: Right. Well, it matters, probably, for her contract, but it matters very little to us. You know what I mean? We all just wanted to see, did she look good or didn`t she look good? And the number business, that`s for her to deal with, with Weight Watchers. We don`t care so much about that.

DUBROW: I agree with that.

HAMMER: Well, the Weight Watchers -- go ahead, Heather.

DUBROW: I agree with it. It`s funny, you know. I was just reading an article today that Pink gave this interview. And she was saying her baby is 15 months old and she`s still 10 pounds from her pre-baby weight. But she looks phenomenal, and she`s healthy and she`s athletic. And I don`t think the number really matters.

VETRINI: Sometimes you`re more curvaceous in the right places.

HAMMER: Yes. And the great thing is...

DUBROW: And your body changes.

HAMMER: And look at the dialogue that`s happening as a result of -- I don`t think -- look, we paid attention to celebrity babies and body weight issues with celebrities before, but I`ve never seen so much focus post-baby on where the weight is going.

So that new Weight Watchers commercial we`ve been talking about was revealed today during Katie`s show, but we just see her face. I mean, look at this. This is the commercial. We`re not seeing any full body view, definitely no bikini shot like we see in the other celebrity Weight Watcher -- loss -- weight loss ads.

Jessica tells Katie that was intentional. Watch what she said about that.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SIMPSON: I really didn`t want it to be about my weight, because I know that everybody has their weight and has their own issues. And I really wanted it to be about the spirit of Weight Watchers and how I was feeling, and I wanted to talk directly to people. So I didn`t want the, like, big body reveal moment. It`s just not -- it`s not really who I am. And Weight Watchers was on board with that, thankfully.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: So Jessica says that Weight Watchers was comfortable with Jessica not revealing or showing her exact weight loss, but her words: "I didn`t want it to be about my weight."

Now, you know there are people out there, Ereka, who are watching this today who saw that commercial saying, "You don`t want it to be about your weight? It`s a weight-loss ad, and you`re being paid $4 million. That doesn`t add up."

VETRINI: Well, first of all, how many times did they say "Weight Watchers" in the course of the segment?

HAMMER: Well, there`s that.

VETRINI: Yes. Exactly. But the truth is, she addressed that perfectly, because I was thinking the same thing. I`m like, let`s see what`s happening here. But she was so good about the way she delivered that message and said, "No, this is about me talking to the camera."

And the truth is it`s a great "before." Right? We still -- we haven`t seen it yet. So we`re still waiting. And you know, it`s going to give us more to look for, I suppose.

HAMMER: It will play itself out.

Heather, did it surprise you that she didn`t show the full body shot and that she really wanted to -- well, she said she wanted to focus on other things. I don`t know if that was just the rationalization that was used.

DUBROW: Well, then don`t sign a contract with Weight Watchers if you want to focus on other things.

I think the bottom line is, you know, she wants to show that she`s having a struggle. She`s relatable. She`s gone on this program, and she`s losing the weight carefully and in a healthy way. And I think that whole message is good.

But to, you know, have a Weight Watchers commercial from here up and say, "I want to focus on other things," that just -- it seems a little hinky to me. Something is missing there.

HAMMER: And I -- look, I like her, and I still appreciate what she did here. And I want to applaud her for focusing on the other sides of it. I have a feeling a lot of people, though, were a little surprised by that today.

OK, Heather, Ereka, I appreciate you both being here with your special insight tonight.

And now that we have seen Jessica`s big reveal, well, I want to turn it over to you. Here is our SHOWBIZ TONIGHT exclusive poll. Jessica Simpson reveals her new body on "Katie." Does her weight loss effort inspire you? I`d love for you to vote at HLNTV.com/ShowbizTonight. Send me an e-mail, and I will read it on air. Send it to ShowbizTonight@HLNTV.com.

Well, here`s another stunning Hollywood revelation tonight. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are now husband and wife. How about that? They tied the knot in a secret wedding on Sunday. Obviously, it was a secret. We didn`t know it was happening. The wedding took place where "The Notebook" was filmed in South Carolina. So here`s the question: are Ryan and Blake`s stunning nuptials the No. 1 shocker on "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of "Incredible Surprises"?

Plus, Heidi`s defense. Heidi Klum adamant that she did not -- and I`ll repeat it for her -- did not cheat on her ex, Seal. Well, she is speaking out for the first time on Katie Couric`s brand-new show today. Tonight I will tell you what Heidi says really happened with her bodyguard.

Also, Taylor Swift, amazing as always, standing up to cancer. The superstar gives an emotional performance at the annual Stand Up to Cancer telethon. Coming up, I cannot wait to show this to you. It is the tear- jerking performance that, understandably, has gone totally viral today.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HAMMER: Tonight Rihanna`s new tattoo. For sure, Rihanna is no stranger to getting inked. We want you to take a close look at this picture of her latest tattoo. She just tweeted this to the world. And that is the Egyptian goddess Isis on Rihanna`s chest. Rihanna wrote on Twitter that she got the fresh ink in memory of her grandmother, which I`ve got to say, it`s kind of sweet even if she does have to bare her chest to show it off.

Well, coming up, Ryan Reynolds top-secret wedding to Blake Lively over the weekend shocked everyone, but will it be No. 1 on our "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of "Incredible Surprises"?

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TOM HANKS, ACTOR: Michael was in charge of love. He was the guy who just brought a zest and a joy. You always knew when he walked on the set. You always knew when you were involved in a scene with him. And I have -- I have never experienced a movie where everybody came out for each other`s scenes.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Tonight a star is remembered. That was Tom Hanks talking about his good friend and acting buddy Michael Clarke Duncan as he arrived at today`s funeral service for the late star. Tom and Michael, of course, worked together on the classic film "The Green Mile."

And you heard Tom say it: Michael was a man whose legacy is one of love.

Tom was just one of many stars that came out today to celebrate the life of Michael Clarke Duncan. Michael just tragically died after suffering a heart attack this summer. He was just 54 years old.

And today Michael`s loved ones, many of them Hollywood`s biggest stars, all showed up to pay tribute to the man made famous by his role opposite Tom Hanks in "The Green Mile." SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was right there at the special star-studded tribute, and that`s where "SHOWBIZ tonight`s" Nischelle Turner is joining us now.

Nischelle, I know you just spoke with Michael`s fiancee, former reality TV star and our friend Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth. I have to imagine it was one emotional conversation.

NISCHELLE TURNER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: Very much so, A.J. Definitely. You know, Omarosa is still battling a lot of feelings and emotions, because she said she didn`t lose Michael Clarke Duncan, the actor or the person. She lost the love of her life. Listen.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

TURNER: Omarosa, first of all, we thank you so much for talking to us. I know this has to be a very emotional time for you, but the first thing, you know, I wanted to just say is how are you? How are you doing today?

OMAROSA MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH, MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN`S FIANCEE: I`m better. We did plan a celebration, so it`s not supposed to be a sad occasion, and we have -- he would want to have lots of music, and I mean, it`s just going to be a good time. It`s not going to be a sad time, even though I`m crying.

TURNER: We don`t expect -- we understand the emotion, absolutely can understand the emotion. It was a week ago today that we got the news.

It was one of those things, first of all, with his heart attack back in July, and then with the news that he passed a week ago that kind of left all of us saying, wow, I mean, so unexpected. Can you take us back to when you got the news?

MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: I have to say this. Michael was an incredible human being, incredible spirit, and through this whole thing, I`m so proud of him. Doctors told me that they didn`t think he would survive after the heart attack from one or two days and he lived for 53 days, and I think that`s a testament to his spirit.

TURNER: Yes. Everyone said, because we were so struck and stunned by the news that he even had a heart attack. We all thought he`s so strong. One of the things that was widely reported was that you were there, and you revived him. Can you take me back to that day? I mean, you guys fought together.

MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: I`m just going to focus on today and not go back to that day and really focus on celebrating the life of an incredible human being and just thank everybody for the outpouring of love and support and how just everyone has come out to just show how much they appreciated him and celebrating him.

TURNER: We have heard from people like Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis who say this was a giant of a man, a man who loved life. He was big and he lived big, calling him larger than life and a gentle giant. Is that how you remember Michael, the man you loved?

MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: I don`t remember him as Michael the actor or entertainer. He was the love of my life. He is the love of my life, and I`m going to miss him so much. I`m going to miss his voice and his laughter and his hugs and how much he cared so much about his family. Thank you so much.

TURNER: We appreciate that. And our hearts go out to you and your family.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

TURNER: As you can imagine, it was very emotional for her to talk about him and to remember him, even though they are calling his home going today a celebration of his life and legacy.

And one of the things that Omarosa did want everyone to know is that they were in love. They did plan to marry in the upcoming year, and they also wanted to start a family -- A.J.

HAMMER: Nischelle, tough, tough day there, and our hearts go out to Omarosa. What a guy he was. What a friendly, wonderful guy.

As we move on right now, we`re talking about Jessica Simpson`s big reveal tonight. Jessica just debuted her post-baby body for the very first time this afternoon on Katie Couric`s brand-new show. Yes, she looks amazing, as always. But with a reported $4 million Weight Watchers deal on the line is it enough inspiration? And will Jessica`s new bod top tonight`s "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of the top five "Incredible Surprises"?

This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TURNER: You`re really good at just brushing the haters off. How do you to it, because they come from everywhere?

MILEY CYRUS, SINGER: I think you have to be, like, really comfortable with who you are and make really strong decisions even with, like you know, cutting my hair. It`s something I always wanted to do. And it`s not attached to anyone else but me.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: That was SHOWBIZ on location with Miley Cyrus just last week at the Video Music Awards.

Miley was doing great then, telling us how she deals with all the haters she seems to attract. Tonight Miley has a stalker scare, a very scary stalker scare.

Tonight, Miley`s big stalker scare. Over the weekend a man was arrested just outside of Miley Cyrus` mansion in Los Angeles. He jumped her huge fence, and when police finally got ahold of the guy, they discovered he had a pair of scissors on him and a long criminal history.

But here`s what I find to be the strangest part of all. The man actually claimed to be Miley Cyrus`s husband. He`s in jail on trespassing charge.

I`m joined by CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, trying to get to the bottom of this bizarre story.

So Sunny, this guy who says his name is Jason Luis Rivera, seems to be completely delusional. The cops asked him why he was at Miley`s home, and he told them, "She`s my wife." It would seem to me that Miley now is in real danger with a creep like this that`s so fixated on her.

SUNNY HOSTIN, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: I think you`re right. I mean, one thing that we always say in law enforcement, A.J., is once you have a stalker in your universe, very difficult to get that person out of your universe.

I mean, when someone is delusional and goes so far as to act on the delusions, to approach a home, to indicate that they are related somehow to the star. The fact that he, you know, had also these scissors, a weapon, a weapon with him, I think does not bode well for Miley Cyrus. This is probably, unfortunately, someone that will be in her life for quite some time.

HAMMER: Yes. I mean, people say it comes with the territory, but that doesn`t make it any less scary.

The good news here, if there is any good news, is that Miley reportedly wasn`t around at the time this guy was wandering around her property. But she can`t stay away from her home forever, Sunny. So at this point -- and I`m sure she`s got a security system, probably a bodyguard -- what kind of extra precautions does she really need to take to make sure she`s safe?

HOSTIN: Well, I think you`re right. She`s doing everything the right way. Because although she wasn`t there, her security staff was, and she has to sort of get these protection orders that a lot of stars are getting.

And we`ve heard about David Letterman and just all of these stars that are using law enforcement, are using the system to try to, you know, add an additional layer of protection for themselves, and she`s going to have to do that.

HAMMER: Well, hopefully, it doesn`t get any scarier that that for her in this instance. Sunny, thanks for your insight. I appreciate it.

HOSTIN: Sure.

HAMMER: Time now for the SHOWBIZ lineup. Coming up at the bottom of the hour on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, the surprise wedding of the year. That caught us all by surprise. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively got hitched on Sunday. It was a wedding that no one seemed to know about until it was over.

And Ryan and Blake`s wow of a wedding is just one of the stories in the running for tonight`s "SHOWBIZ Countdown." Monday`s top five incredible stories. So will the newlyweds take the top slot on the countdown?

This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

(MUSIC: TAYLOR SWIFT`S "RONAN")

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Right now on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, Taylor Swift`s tear-jerker. Taylor debuts her emotional new single, "Ronan," during a heart-wrenching performance on the Stand Up to Cancer telethon. Tonight, we will tell you the story behind the song about a young boy who died from cancer.

Jessica Simpson`s new body after baby and Heidi Klum`s brand new Seal- confessions. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT is counting down the top five incredible surprises. And why Katie Couric is involved in more than one of them. So which incredible surprise is the biggest of them all in tonight`s SHOWBIZ countdown.

SHOWBIZ TONIGHT continues right now.

Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. Thank you for watching. I`m AJ Hammer and tonight on the SHOWBIZ countdown Monday`s top five incredible surprises. I`m talking about the remarkable stories breaking today that made us say, wow.

We`re kicking things off with number five and Jessica`s big reveal. Finally, finally, for the first time Jessica Simpson steps out publicly since the birth of her daughter Maxwell Drew, who was born on May 1st to superstar mom boasting more than a 40-pound weight loss today and making her big debut on another debut, Katie Couric`s all new talk show. Let`s watch that together.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JESSICA SIMPSON, SINGER/ACTRESS: Well, I`ve just had a lot of pressure on me to lose the baby weight, and today was actually one of my goals, getting here and just feeling comfortable in a beautiful dress. And I have to say I`ve achieved it. I feel beautiful today.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: And just as expected she looked beautiful. Jessica`s fans have certainly been waiting and waiting and waiting for this big moment since it was revealed that Simpson had signed this deal with Weight Watchers for a reported $4 million to lose the baby weight shortly after her daughter was born. But with millions of dollars on the line and, of course, with a team of fitness coaches by her side, is Jessica`s weight loss a lot less inspirational for other moms who don`t have that same kind of support?

I want to bring in from New York entertainment correspondent Jill Dobson. She`s the author of a great online blog called thejilldobsonshow.com. Jill is a mom who knows what it`s like to struggle to lose the weight post-baby. Also in New York, my good friend, TV host, entrepreneur, model and all- around cool person, Daisy Fuentes.

Great to see you both. So there was so much pressure on Jessica Simpson these past few months. It was all over the Internet. People talking about what she would look like in the last couple of months. She`s talked about how hard it has been for her to get back to a weight where she was comfortable.

Her struggle takes us right to our SHOWBIZ flash point, Jessica Simpson, is her weight loss less inspirational because she`s being paid?

Daisy, what do you think about that? Not everybody is getting four million bucks to lose the weight.

DAISY FUENTES, TV HOST, ENTREPRENEUR AND MODEL: No, but that just goes to show you that it doesn`t really matter that you`re getting paid or not. It`s a struggle that everybody has, and I think that, you know, Jessica, the reason why we love her so much is because she is really OK with showing us that all of our struggles are the same and that we have a lot more in common than we think.

Our insecurities and our struggles are very similar. So I think that moms out there are going, OK, so, you know, even if she is getting paid all those money, she`s just like us, and it`s still hard. So the truth of it, it`s really difficult when you`re a new mom, not only to deal with your hormones and all the pressures of being a new mom, but not to have all these eyes on you. I kind of -- I really like her a lot for being really open and honest and saying, hey, it`s really hard for me. And I think every mom can identify with that.

(CROSSTALK)

FUENTES: So it`s really cool.

HAMMER: I absolutely think so, and I think it would have been different if the weight came off quickly with all the support she had and with the inspiration of making all that money, but, Jill, you must be relating to this. You`re a mom, you`re a journalist, on television. You have people looking at you. You know what it feels like when you have that kind of pressure. Are you feeling that same inspiration like Jessica?

JILL DOBSON, THEJILLDOBSONSHOW.COM: It is a challenge.

(CROSSTALK)

DOBSON: It is.

HAMMER: Are you feeling more inspired because she had a little more trouble and is being so honest?

DOBSON: It makes her so relatable because very many people have struggled with this. My goal was to lose the baby weight in five months. It took me six months. And I have to tell you, I didn`t have any multi-million dollar deal. My motivation is pain.

I tell you what, Jessica, sign up for a half marathon like I did and if you don`t run every day, you`re going to be in pain running those 13 miles. But she talks about how she has this endorsement deal but it`s still been very much a struggle but she also had some misconceptions. She says that she thought that she just gained a lot of water weight. And when the water broke it would all be gone.

So I think mothers out there, you know, educate yourself, learn that the appropriate amount of weight to gain and then the appropriate amount of time you should lose it in. It`s not two weeks like other celebrities. But give yourself a little time and like Jessica said, be kind to yourself.

HAMMER: Yes. Well, she`s learning a lot. Yes, for first time moms they`re learning right alongside with her. I think it`s really cool.

Jessica Simpson, by the way, not Katie Couric`s only big guest this week. This brings us to number four on our countdown of Monday`s incredible surprises.

Heidi`s defense. Now Heidi Klum opened up for the first time since she and Seal stunned Hollywood with news of their breakup after Seal just made claims that she was sleeping with the help. Now let me remind you what he told TMZ. He said I preferred Heidi would have showed a little more class and at least waited until we were separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help.

Well, now she gave her first interview since then. It airs on Katie Couric`s show on Wednesday. Let me read to you what Heidi is telling Katie. She said, "It was a unique choice of words. I`m used to it. Other people aren`t. When we were together, I never looked at another man."

So you heard it there. She actually calls what Seal said a unique choice of words. And it seemed to me, reading into those lines there, she was taking kind of a dig at Seal for maybe suggesting that she was having this affair with her bodyguard.

Daisy, it seems to me like she`s pretty ticked off. And I think we`re going to hear more of that.

FUENTES: I`m pretty ticked off.

(LAUGHTER)

FUENTES: I mean, that says the whole thing. I`m a little -- you know what? I feel uncomfortable for them. And I`m just not a fan of, you know, doing that sort of thing in public. I`m just not. I find it in poor taste. But you know, once you get it out there I guess it`s kind of fair game. And some people are OK with it. Some people feel like they need to either explain themselves or deny or confirm things, and once you open that can of worms, let me tell you something, it`s fair game.

HAMMER: Yes. It`s hard to close it back up. And the truth is Seal has been going around making the point that, well, we were so open about every aspect of our marriage so we should be open about, you know, aspects of our divorce.

FUENTES: Yes. Fair enough.

HAMMER: I`m not buying that at all. Well, the denial of another alleged affair takes us to number three on the SHOWBIZ countdown of incredible surprises today. "Real Housewives" star Brandi Glanville takes to Twitter to deny reports that she may have been cheating with her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, and that may have contributed to LeAnn Rimes who of course is Eddie`s wife now needing to go into treatment for emotional issues.

Here is what Brandi tweeted. "I am not cheating with my ex-husband. I would never do that." With a hash tag "ewwww." Well, Brandi`s tweet came a day after LeAnn left treatment over the weekend to put on a concert in Wisconsin. People.com reports that LeAnn told the crowd, "I am totally cool and so happy. I think I`m about to cry."

So LeAnn clearly on a mission to get her life back in order. She`s not alone, by the way. Number two on tonight`s SHOWBIZ countdown of incredible surprises today, Chad`s defiance. Former NFL player and reality TV star Chad Johnson reportedly refusing to sign on the dotted line for the divorce papers that were filed by his newlywed wife Evelyn Lozada after he was arrested for allegedly attacking her.

Jill, he thinks they can still make it work. I think he`s probably delusional.

DOBSON: Chad, if you love her, let her go. That`s my advice. She doesn`t want anything to do with him. Of course, as you mentioned, reports of abuse. This relationship is over. From all accounts and I think the right thing to do for him is to just let her go.

HAMMER: And I couldn`t agree more. I think he may be very determined but I don`t think that that`s actually going to get him back together with her. Don`t see it happening.

All of this taking us to number one on our SHOWBIZ countdown of incredible surprises today. Got to tell you, this one threw us for a loop because no one saw it coming, and we look for stuff like this. So Daisy and Jill, I want you to stay right where you are.

Also tonight, can`t wait to show you this. My SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview with the great James Cameron, who of course, the director of "Titanic" and "Avatar." I got him to open up to me about his greatest achievement and if there will be an "Avatar" prequel to go along with the other films we`ve been hearing about.

Plus, the tear-jerking performance by Taylor Swift. This took place at the Stand Up to Cancer benefit. It has gone completely viral. It`s a brand new song about a boy who died from cancer and it hits the top of the charts. I`m going to tell you the inside story of her emotional new song coming up.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HAMMER: It`s time now to reveal who is number one on our SHOWBIZ countdown tonight of Monday`s top five most incredible surprises. Let me run down who made our top five so far.

At number five, Jessica Simpson`s big reveal. Superstar mom looking great. She finally steps out to reveal her post-baby body. And in number four tonight, Heidi`s defense. The soon-to-be divorced supermodel opens up about the sudden end of her marriage and the claims that she had an affair with her bodyguard. In at number three, Brandi Glanville`s denial. "Real Housewives" star Brandi Glanville setting the record straight about an alleged affair that she was supposed to be having or supposedly or people were saying she was having with her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian. She says no way.

Number two, Chad`s defiance. The former football star and ex-reality TV star refuses to sign divorce papers filed by his newlywed wife Evelyn Lozada after he allegedly beat her up but he vows to win back.

Which brings us to number one as you see on our SHOWBIZ countdown of Monday`s incredible surprises. The "Once Upon A Time" co-stars of "Green Lantern" Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively got married.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BLAKE LIVELY, ACTRESS: It isn`t one way or the other. That`s a way a child looks at things. We`re not children anymore. I just don`t want to see someone I care about getting hurt. Least of all you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Well, from superhero to super wedding. Ryan Reynolds, the one- time sexiest man alive, pulls off the surprise weekend wedding to "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively. It took place in South Carolina.

Got to brig back entertainment correspondent Jill Dobson of thejilldobsonshow.com. TV host and model and entrepreneur Daisy Fuentes also with us tonight.

All right, Daisy, let me start with you here because it`s been just over a year since Ryan`s divorce from Scarlett Johansson and, quite frankly, Ryan and Blake never even confirmed the fact that they were dating. They stayed off the radar. So were you as surprised as everyone else to find out they finally got married so suddenly?

FUENTES: Pleasantly surprised. I always love when someone can pull this off like this, and it just goes to show that if you really do care about protecting your personal life and taking that route, it can be done. It can be easily done. And you can even get married and then announce it. I mean, if I was ever to go temporarily insane and go that route, that`s exactly how I would do it. I almost want to stand up and give a standing ovation.

HAMMER: Well, you know what --

DOBSON: And I feel exactly the opposite. I have to say. As a journalist we want to know all the details. Be more like Jessica Simpson and put it all out there for us. Please, come on, Ryan.

HAMMER: Yes, but Jill, to Daisy`s point, I mean what a feat it was to pull this off. It`s not easy to do, but obviously it can be done.

DOBSON: It is impressive. These two have wanted to stay out of the spotlight. I think Ryan Reynolds might say he learned a lesson during his relationship with Scarlett Johansson. He was under media scrutiny all the time, and he took even greater steps to avoid that this time around. And congratulations to the two of them on their wedding.

HAMMER: Yes. We`ve got to be happy for them. It is just hard to imagine, especially doing what we do and covering these things, how much energy went into keeping it a secret from everybody.

All right. Daisy, Jill, thank you both so much.

As we move on tonight, Hollywood stands up to cancer. Now, in just a moment I`m going to show you something incredible. It`s Taylor Swift`s unbelievable must-see emotional tribute to a 4-year-old boy who died of cancer.

SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was right there as some of Hollywood`s biggest stars came out to support the annual Stand Up to Cancer telethon to bring attention to the relentless disease. Cancer survivor and one-time star of the reality show "Survivor," Ethan Zohn, is fighting Hodgkin`s lymphoma for the second time.

Well, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was right there on the red carpet with Ethan. And he told us how he`s holding up through his grueling cancer treatments.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ETHAN ZOHN, FORMER "SURVIVOR" STAR: I`m feeling good. I`m five months post-stem cell transplant and I`m healthy enough to be here in person, which is -- touch and go for a while. But it was against doctor`s orders but it was that important for me to be here today. I have been on a bunch of experimental new drugs that were funded by Stand Up to Cancer and some of their dream teams. And if it wasn`t for that, I wouldn`t be on the red carpet right now.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You are living proof it actually works.

ZOHN: I am living proof.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Yes. It`s so great to see that Ethan is doing well.

Taylor Swift also making big news after her powerful performance on Stand Up to Cancer. Taylor debuted her emotional new single "Ronan." It was inspired by a mother`s blog about losing her young son Ronan Thompson to cancer. The emotional performance was released on iTunes and today it is rightfully the number one song on the singles chart replacing Taylor`s new hit "We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together."

Taylor`s performance went crazy viral today. You`ve got to watch this with me.

(MUSIC)

HAMMER: Sounds great as always. And I must applaud Taylor for donating all of the proceeds of her song "Ronan" to cancer and related charities. And by the way, got to mention the Stand Up to Cancer benefit still collecting donations at standuptocancer.org. They raised a lot of money but there`s still more that can be raised.

Well, tonight we have my SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview with the one and only James Cameron. The "Titanic" and "Avatar" director is opening up to me about his greatest achievements and we know there`s going to be an "Avatar" sequel. What about a prequel? Will he do that? I`ve got your first look at my headline-making SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview with James Cameron next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HAMMER: It is hard to believe it`s now been 15 years since the movie "Titanic" broke all kinds of records at the box office and today director James Cameron told me about another first, showing it to his young kids for the very first time.

So what does Cameron think about the movie being released on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D? Well, watch what he told me.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JAMES CAMERON, FILM DIRECTOR: The film was shot in a kind of a classic style, and if it -- we always knew that if it worked, it might have that sort of classic potential, but until we re-released the film back in April for the -- for the 100-year anniversary of the sinking, we didn`t know exactly -- we had no way to gauge that. And Of course, what we found was it`s still hugely popular worldwide.

HAMMER: So at the end of the day then, what do you -- is the reason it is so enduring? You mention the epic style. Obviously it`s a terrifically written story, it`s terrifically acted, visually it`s one of the most stunning films ever made but from your perspective, as the guy who made it happen?

CAMERON: Yes, I thought about it a lot. You can say well, the "Titanic" story itself is never going to go away. Meaning the historical story, but I think that`s only a part of it. I really think it`s the love story. It`s the fact that it`s -- you`re guaranteed you`re going to have an emotional reaction when you watch this movie whether you`ve seen it 20 times or whether you`ve never seen it before. You`re going to cry.

And that`s why we released it in 3D so that men could put the glasses and their dates wouldn`t see them cry.

(LAUGHTER)

HAMMER: Perfect idea. I actually -- I can`t wait to see it on the Blu-ray 3D.

CAMERON: Yes.

HAMMER: Finally, I get to watch it at home and have that visual experience.

CAMERON: Well, it`s gorgeous because, you know, Blu-ray is the ultimate home format. You know, it`s basically DVD on steroids. You know, full HD and so you get all the detail of the image that you`d see in a movie theater on your home screen.

HAMMER: When did you last see it all the way through?

CAMERON: Right before we started the 3D conversion. I wanted to watch it once just to -- because I knew I was going to go through every shot over and over and over and that would put me off watching it for about five years.

HAMMER: Right. Right.

CAMERON: So, you know, it was about I guess a year and a half ago.

HAMMER: But can you step back and be noncritical watching it.

CAMERON: Yes. Yes.

HAMMER: And just enjoy it for what it is as if you didn`t even make it yourself.

CAMERON: Yes. I mean watched it with my younger kids, my three younger ones and they have never seen the film. So I got to enjoy them seeing it. You know.

HAMMER: And they said, daddy, you did that?

CAMERON: Yes, I don`t think they even processed that part of it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: That`s pretty cool. I`ll have even more of my interview with James Cameron to play for you because we played a little game of true or false. You got to hear it. It`s all about what happened behind the screens of "Titanic." And here`s one thing I ran by him, did someone really lace the clam chowder on the set of the movie making the cast and crew really sick?

Also he`s got a secret about "Avatar" to share with you he hasn`t told anyone else yet. That`s coming up tomorrow in my SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview with the great James Cameron.

Tonight one-on-one with the great Mariah Carey. She of course is the brand new judge on "American Idol". Having one emotional year between her husband`s Nick Cannon`s health issues and losing her friend Whitney Houston. Tonight she tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT what it took to overcome all those hardships.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HAMMER: Tonight Mariah`s big triumph. Mariah Carey reveals to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT why she`s had such a tough year and how she triumphed despite the difficult times. Also "Green Lantern" stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively startled Hollywood by saying I do in a secret ceremony. All that is making big news in "The Buzz" today.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

HAMMER (voice-over): Two fewer famous fish in the sea? Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have just reportedly tied the knot. According to "People" magazine Ryan and Blake got married Sunday night in South Carolina. The couple, who co-starred together in 2011`s "Green Lantern," have always kept a low profile with their relationship. Ryan was previously married to Scarlett Johansson.

SHOWBIZ on location with Mariah. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was right there with soon-to-be "American Idol" judge Mariah Carey at the BMI Icon Awards where Carey was honored for her songwriting talents. Mariah revealed to us who her husband`s health scare and the passing of Whitney Houston inspired her latest hit single "Triumphant."

MARIAH CAREY, SINGER/SONGWRITER: I was going through a rough time. Nick was going through a difficult time and it was in February around the time when Whitney had just passed, and so there was just so much going on. It was such an awful kind of -- I don`t even know how to express what was happening, but I had to express it through music in terms of going the opposite way, almost to encourage myself. I guess "Triumphant," keep on living. You know what I mean? And that`s what I wanted people to hear.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAMMER: Coming up tonight on Dr. Drew, divorce with kids. How do you move on from a broken marriage when the kids keep you together. And tonight, Sheryl Lee Ralph and divorce court judge, Lynn Toler, joined Dr. Drew to guide you through healing after divorce. Dr. Drew starts right now.
