THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
A.J. HAMMER, HOST: Tonight, the "SHOWBIZ Countdown," "Biggest Buzz Makers." Jennifer Aniston reveals a baby bump in a hilarious new parody, while Donald Trump wags his finger at President Obama, using his famous line, "You`re fired." We`re counting down the top five "Biggest Buzz Makers" of the day, but which will be will be No. 1?
Hello and thank you for watching. I`m A.J. Hammer.
We`ve got two big "SHOWBIZ Countdowns" tonight, including a countdown of today`s top five "Biggest Buzz Makers" of the day.
You have got to see Jennifer Aniston`s hilarious pregnant parody. It`s taken on Giuliana Rancic`s brand-new baby revelation tonight. But which will be No. 1? Our big reveal coming your way.
But we begin our first "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of the night, the top three bombshells of the day. And we kick it off with No. 3 in the countdown. Lindsay Lohan arrested again.
Just days after she ripped on another star`s legal troubles, looks like Lindsay may have spoken too soon. Now, early this morning, Lindsay Lohan got busted for a hit and run outside this New York City hotel. This happened after a restaurant employee claimed that Lindsay hit him with her car and then just split from the scene.
Lindsay`s rep tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT that the claims are much, quote, "much ado about nothing and untrue." And ironically, this arrest comes days after Lindsay tweeted a slam on ex-teen star Amanda Bynes wondering why Bynes hasn`t been put in jail because of her vehicular troubles. This to me is a shocking case of car karma in Hollywood.
With me from Hollywood tonight, Jamie Kennedy. He is the host of the new game show, "Oh, Sit!" which airs Wednesdays on the CW. Here in New York, we have Tamar Braxton, who of course, stars in a new We TV spinoff of the hit show "Braxton Family Values." Her new show, "Tamar and Vince," debuts tomorrow night on We.
It is great to have you both here tonight.
TAMAR BRAXTON, REALITY TV STAR: Hi.
JAMIE KENNEDY, HOST, CW`s "OH, SIT!" Thank you.
HAMMER: You got it.
All right. So let`s talk about Lindsay. She gets busted just days after tweeting a snide comment about Amanda Bynes` own legal troubles. Tamar, I am thinking there is some kind of karma at work here. Can you deny it?
BRAXTON: No. I just think Lindsay at this point is a first-class fool. Just say nothing, mind your business, stop talking about other people and stop driving. How about that?
HAMMER: Yes. I don`t understand that at all. Get out of the car and just let other people have at it.
She got a lot of flack for tweeting that snarky remark about Amanda Bynes` troubles. And one of her critics is CNN`s own Anderson Cooper, who slammed her yesterday on his daytime talk show. Let`s watch that.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Now, I don`t know Lindsay Lohan. I feel bad for her. I wish her nothing but the best. But if you`re -- if I`m Lindsay Lohan, I would just be quiet and do your job.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I so agree.
COOPER: Just like do your job.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So what is it, then, a week and a half since Lindsay Lohan was in the papers? So she`s got to get herself out there.
COOPER: Get off Twitter. Get off -- just stop hanging out and just do your job and come back. Everybody wants -- everybody loves a comeback. Everybody is rooting for you.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Bingo.
COOPER: Just do your job.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Yes, see, Anderson, Tamar in agreement there.
And again, I should point out Lindsay says this new hit-and-run claim against her not true. But Jamie, doesn`t Anderson have a point and Tamar. I mean, Lindsay has proven she cannot stay out of trouble. It makes her the last person to be complaining about another person -- another star`s troubles for that matter.
BRAXTON: I mean like...
KENNEDY: I hate to -- I hate to see actress on actress crime. You know what I mean? Hating on another actress. The same thing. It`s the "A" to "A."
But also, it`s said that she hit a person at a very low speed in the knee. So it was a low-speed knee hit.
HAMMER: A low-speed knee hit. I guess, yes. We should probably give her some slack compared to the types of things that she has done in the past that have gotten her into some real trouble.
But now I want to move on to the revelation that one of the biggest bands of the 1990s was actually broken up by a secret love affair. This brings us to No. 2 on our "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of the DAY`S biggest bombshells.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (singing): I`m strumming his face with his fingers, singing my life with his words.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: We all remember the Fugees, of course, their huge remake of "Killing Me Softly," by the lovely Roberta Flack originally.
Well, now, ex-Fugee Wyclef Jean is out with a brand-new book. He says a torrid affair with singer Lauryn Hill broke the band apart at the height of their success. He claims their affair continued through the band`s rise to the top of the charts and even after he got married and that it ended when Hill falsely told him that he fathered her child.
Now, Tamar, you remember listening to the Fugees back then. They were huge, as a matter of fact, at about the same time your sister, Toni Braxton, was ruling the charts herself. Pretty shocking revelation from Wyclef, isn`t it?
BRAXTON: It really is. You know, it`s so juicy, it makes my mouth water. It really is.
But you know what? At the same time, I`m going to need to have several seats (ph). I`m just like upset that he wrote this book about, you know, Lauryn, and I just don`t think -- I think it`s in bad taste.
HAMMER: Sometimes the truth hurts, Tamar. Yes, I mean, it`s...
BRAXTON: The truth hurts. But shhhh.
HAMMER: It`s rough. Yes, right. Keep it down. Well...
BRAXTON: Keep it cute (ph).
HAMMER: This morning he was anything but quiet on CNN. He was talking about that destructive affair on "STARTING POINT." I want to show you this, because he told Soledad that, yes, you know what? That affair, it may have broken up our band, The Fugees, but it was also instrumental in all of the success of their classic album, "The Score." Let`s listen to that.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
WYCLEF JEAN, MUSICIAN: I can`t take my 20s back. I would never take the 20s back. And the people that are blaming me for the break-up, if you all have "The Score" that you all love so much, "The Score" wouldn`t have happened without the love triangle of everything that you`re hearing.
So inside of the mystery of "The Score," there`s always a passionate undertone in it. And I don`t think that the music would have actually came out like that if we wasn`t going through what we was going through.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: So he`s looking at the silver lining there, I guess.
Look, Wyclef and Lauryn`s affair breaks up the Fugees. John Lennon and Yoko allegedly break up the Beatles. I mean, Jamie, can we simply take from this that sex is the enemy of great bands everywhere?
KENNEDY: Well, I mean, it wasn`t just the sex. I read the article. And it said that she was pregnant and that he was the baby daddy. So then all of a sudden he found out he wasn`t. So I mean, you know, it`s a little hard when you think you`ve got a bun in the oven, and it`s not yours. That could happen.
BRAXTON: But he was married.
KENNEDY: They could have wrote a couple extra good songs about it, though. I mean, that was a great album. Maybe there`s one more album filled with pain. I`m not sure.
HAMMER: "The Score" relived. It should come back. They should do a 2012 version of it, I think.
So -- and yes, Tamar, he did carry on the affair through to his marriage. He`s trying to take it back now or he says he can`t take it back. I don`t know exactly which one.
BRAXTON: No. "The Score" is settled.
HAMMER: "The Score" is settled.
And here is No. 1 on our "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of the day`s biggest bombshells. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, back together.
Well, the new issue of "People" magazine reports that Pattinson and Stewart, who have been on the outs since Stewart cheated on Robert with a married director, the report is that they`re slowly reconnecting.
Now, according to the magazine, they met up in L.A. last weekend and just might become a couple again. Of course, much to the chagrin of friends who don`t want Robert to get hurt again.
Now Tamar, do you think is it in any way a good idea for him to get back together with her?
BRAXTON: Well, you know, usually I would say once a cheater, always a cheater. But in this case, they`re really, really young. And, you know, I`m really rooting for them. I think they`re a great couple. I just think maybe they just got caught up. Kristen, I`m talking about, she got caught up in some shenanigans. And I think slowly but surely they should, you know, get back together.
HAMMER: It does happen. Look, we`ve seen this before in star couples and non-star couples alike. But now the deal is we`ve been hearing from a lot of people, and it`s all out there on the Internet that the whole cheating scandal with Kristen Stewart was just some major publicity stunt meant to boost everyone`s profile.
Jamie, a bit of a conspiracy theory to be sure.
BRAXTON: What? No!
KENNEDY: No!
HAMMER: Now that there`s word that...
KENNEDY: That didn`t really happen?
BRAXTON: No. Ain`t nobody got time for that lie. That`s a lie.
KENNEDY: You know, I have to tell you guys something. I live in Los Feliz, and I`m not too far, and I was so happy that day I saw Kristen driving around. And when I followed her, I was so happy to be able to get that shot. I made some extra money for my beach house.
HAMMER: Yes. We`d like to thank you all for providing us with great entertainment throughout our summer by putting that shot in the magazines. I knew that was all your doing, man.
BRAXTON: That`s so funny.
HAMMER: All right. Well, you know what? I think if they do get back together, maybe it will just fuel that frenzy that it could be a conspiracy theory even more. But I guess we`ll just have to wait and see what happens.
KENNEDY: It would be amazing publicity if it was.
HAMMER: Yes, it would. Tamar, Jamie, stick around. Got to talk to you about a whole lot more later in the show.
But now we move on and ask the question, does Jennifer Aniston wear a wig?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JENNIFER ANISTON, ACTRESS: Good night, Rachel.
Oh, God.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Finally getting to the bottom of that.
Tonight, Jennifer Aniston spoofs the most infamous tacky tabloid tales about her life. But is that incredible video more buzzed about than Donald Trump firing President Obama in another outrageous video?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, REAL ESTATE MOGUL: You had some clear objectives when you took the reins. You promised hope and change. How did you do there?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Donald Trump versus Jennifer Aniston. Which story has people talking the most? You`re going to find out. It`s our "SHOWBIZ Countdown" of the top five "Biggest Buzz Makers."
This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: It is over. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT confirms that NFL star Chad Ochocinco Johnson and "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada have finalized their divorce after just 41 days of marriage. Lozada filed for divorce after Chad allegedly head-butted Lozada in a domestic dispute. Lozada`s attorney tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT that she`s looking forward to her future as a single woman.
Well, coming up next, Toni Braxton`s youngest sister breaks out with her own spinoff reality show. But what is the one thing she won`t reveal?
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Tonight Dave Matthews` heartbreak over President Obama. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT goes one-on-one with Dave Matthews as he promotes his new album, "Away from the World."
We just spoke with Dave for what was a fascinating interview, and he revealed to us why he`s disappointed by President Obama`s first four years in office. It is a growing sentiment among some in Hollywood. So will Dave Matthews throw his full support behind Obama this time around?
Here`s SHOWBIZ TONIGHT`s Kareen Wynter with this "SHOWBIZ Newsmaker" interview.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(MUSIC)
KAREEN WYNTER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: Well, your new single "Mercy," "Don`t give up. I know you can see all the world and the mess we`re making." Those are pretty strong words there.
DAVE MATTHEWS, MUSICIAN: We spent a lot of time bickering at great cost and very little time actually coming up with solutions. And I think we have -- we misused our ambition for our own gains, and I think that`s sort of pathetic and desperate.
WYNTER: You`re so socially active. You supported Obama in 2008. You support him now. You recently played a fundraiser for him in Seattle. Are you concerned about his chances in this election?
MATTHEWS: Oh, yes. I mean, I`m concerned about whether Obama can win. I`m also concerned about his policies. You know, because I certainly don`t agree with him on a lot of his positions.
I think that he has a concern for the population that put him in power. A real concern for them. That and his environmental position, although I`d like him to push a little harder, that`s where I`m drawn to him. And that`s where I agree with him. I don`t believe in trickle-down economics. I don`t think the people who have the most are inclined to share it.
I think it`s going to be a close race. Maybe it will be the ugliest election as far as empty falsehoods that the candidates throw at each other. I wish there was a third party. But right now I will wholeheartedly support Obama, even if I`m slightly heartbroken about it.
WYNTER: When you look back at 2008 and the energy from Hollywood and beyond, but there were so many entertainers at the forefront really pushing forth his message. Do you think that`s wavered a bit this time around.
MATTHEWS: And rightly so, people are disappointed. Not that it`s been easy. Because I think he`s been up against an incredibly poisonous opposition during his presidency. Just really disrespectful, I think, because he`s still the president, you know. And I guess, I think I was probably disrespectful of his predecessor. But I think it`s reached a new high.
Thank you very much for coming out.
WYNTER: Well, you talk as an entertainer, people definitely listen. Will you use that as a chance to, perhaps, encourage people to vote? Or...
MATTHEWS: I think people know what my opinion is. But I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
HAMMER: Favorite artist ever. And I can tell you that people are listening to Dave Matthews, political statement or not. The band`s new album, "Away from the World," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 today. Rightfully so. It is fantastic. The band`s sixth straight studio album to debut at the top of the charts.
Well, tonight, big Gangnam controversy to talk about.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
(MUSIC: PSY`S "GANGNAM STYLE")
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: OK, did Korean YouTube sensation PSY actually get a couple of lifeguards fired with his famous dance? I`m going to tell you why "Gangnam Style isn`t safe for everyone.
But will PSY outdo the Reg? Regis Philbin makes a surprise return to daytime TV. Did he make the right move? Is his new gig the talk of the town? Find out if Regis`s big return outdid Gangnam controversy in tonight`s "SHOWBIZ Countdown," the top five "Biggest Buzz Makers."
This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My wife doesn`t want to have a baby because she thinks she`s going to gain weight.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Have a seat. Good thing you`re sitting.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You want a baby?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: In my life? What about my album?
I ain`t got time to watch no kids. I want to dance and stuff. And drop it like it`s hot and pick it back up. She can`t be on the cover of a magazine with a baby.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A lot of people -- a lot of people are.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That`s not hot.
But what if I laugh, and I just start peeing on myself?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Yes. Toni Braxton`s sister, Tamar, breaks out on her own spin-off show, "Tamar and Vince." She`s exposing a whole new side of her "Braxton Family Values." Like why she`s not about to drop it like it`s hot with a baby just yet.
Tonight, Tamar is right here to reveal more of her brand-new reality.
The youngest of the Braxton sister is outspoken. She`s ambitious. She`s anything but shy. So in my mind, it makes perfect sense that Tamar would be the breakout star of her family`s hit reality show, "Braxton Family Values."
Clearly, Tamar doesn`t hold anything back. But is there anything that she and her husband Vince won`t share on their brand-new show, "Tamar and Vince"? The show debuts tomorrow night on We TV.
Tamar joins me right now in New York for this "SHOWBIZ Newsmaker" interview. Great to see you, Tamar.
BRAXTON: Great to see you, too.
HAMMER: And it was great seeing you in this clip of you and your husband, Vince, talking about the possibility of having a baby. Whether or not you`re going to do that. Pretty personal stuff.
But dare I say, perhaps not at personal as what we get from the Kardashians. I mean, we just saw Kourtney literally broadcast the birth of her baby. Would you ever go that far, Tamar?
BRAXTON: No. I don`t think I want my cooch all over America.
HAMMER: OK. So that`s a -- we`re just going to take that as a flat-out no. That goes across the line for you.
BRAXTON: Yes, yes.
HAMMER: All right. Well, I mentioned that you`re anything but shy. Are you ready to play the little game with me tonight?
BRAXTON: Uh-oh. OK.
HAMMER: All right. This is a game I`d like to affectionately call "Tamar`s Take." My point is to get your take on a few things really quick. I just want you to tell me how you`re feeling about these things. You ready to play?
BRAXTON: Yes.
HAMMER: Well, let`s play "Tamar`s Take."
BRAXTON: Uh-oh.
HAMMER: No. 1 on our list, there it is. It`s Nicki Minaj`s hair. Now I understand, Tamar, you have a serious problem with this new look that she`s sporting for "American Idol"?
BRAXTON: Well, it`s not a serious problem. I just like Nicki better with the pink hair. Everybody loves her on Pink Friday. And you know, this hair is just a little different for me. It`s a little Ronald McDonald-ish.
HAMMER: Ronald Mc -- but look at you. I mean, you shake it up with the hair. You`re sporting a different look than we`ve seen before.
BRAXTON: Hey, I am the No. 1 wig girl. So I get it. You know? And that`s why I love and respect Nicki so much, because she can shake it up with the wigs, too. But you know, it`s just -- you know, I don`t like her in the neon. She`s way too pretty for that.
HAMMER: All right. No Ronald McDonald neon yellow hair for Nicki Minaj, according to Tamar.
Let`s go to quick take No. 2 from Tamar. We just saw you walk the catwalk at Fashion Week.
BRAXTON: Yes.
HAMMER: And might I add, look at that. Holy smokes. You look fantastic.
BRAXTON: And hungry.
HAMMER: Did you starve yourself to do this?
BRAXTON: Well, I didn`t starve myself. I just put myself on a strict diet and I just worked out a lot more.
HAMMER: OK. But let me get your take, "Tamar`s Take" No. 2, which is on fashion. And most specifically, I`m talking about Kim Kardashians, "Kimye" fashion. Because I don`t know if you`ve seen the buzz on this, Tamar. Some people are saying she`s not looking so hot now that Kanye West has taken over her closet and what she wears. But what do you think?
BRAXTON: Well, you know what, I`ve always loved Kim`s fashion. But lately, she has slipped up a little bit. I think she`s just being comfortable being a girlfriend. That jacket was no, no. Put that back in the closet, Boo. She has a lot of great clothes. Don`t ever wear that, never ever again. Burn it.
HAMMER: Tamar holds nothing back.
All right. We know you can sing. You`ve got an album on the way.
BRAXTON: Yes. Yes, I do.
HAMMER: This leads to "Tamar`s Take" No. 3. I want to know which is your favorite singing show judging panel. You`ve got Nicki-Mariah on "Idol"; Britney and Demi Lovato on "The X Factor"; and Christina Aguilera and the gang on "The Voice." Which do you love the most of those?
BRAXTON: I`m so biased, because Mariah is my idol. So of course, it`s "American Idol." I mean, we`re going to have fun with Nicki, watching all the different looks that she has. Mariah and all of her moments. Randy with the "yo dog" and, you know, Keith Urban, he`s going to give us the country. So it`s going to be great.
HAMMER: Well, Tamar, we always have fun talking to you. Thank you so much for being here.
BRAXTON: Thank you for having me. Any time.
HAMMER: And make sure you check out Tamar getting real on her new show, "Tamar and Vince."
BRAXTON: Yes.
HAMMER: It debuts tomorrow night on We TV.
BRAXTON: Thank you so much.
HAMMER: You got it.
All right. As we move on, does Jennifer Aniston really swim in a pool of bottled water?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ANISTON: This looks so great. Oh, it`s perfect.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: I love this. It is Jennifer Aniston`s must-see hilarious spoof of all those tacky tabloid headlines about her life. Kind of makes you want to see her back on a sitcom, doesn`t it?
But is it more buzz-worthy than the big "Gangnam" controversy? Did Korean YouTube sensation PSY actually get a couple of lifeguards fired? I`m going to tell you the story that just may outdo Jen Aniston`s viral video. In the "SHOWBIZ Countdown," the day`s "Biggest Buzz Makers."
This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ANISTON: Good night Rachel.
Oh, God.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Right now the "SHOWBIZ Countdown," "Biggest Buzz Makers." Jennifer Aniston`s wig collection. It`s Jen`s hilarious spoof of the wildest tabloid rumors about her. And Donald Trump tells the president, "You`re fired."
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TRUMP: You had some clear objectives when you took the reins. You promised hope and change. How did you do there?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: The surreal and secret video that got bumped at the Republican national convention revealed. But will Donald be number one as we count down the top five biggest buzz making stories.
"SHOWBIZ TONIGHT" continues right now.
Welcome back to "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT." Thanks for watching. I`m A.J. Hammer.
And now, our SHOWBIZ Countdown of tonight`s the top five biggest buzz makers.
We are kicking things off at number five with emotional new revelations from E! News host and reality TV star Giuliana Rancic about her roller coaster year. From her shocking breast cancer diagnosis to the celebration of her new son, Edward Duke, Giuliana opened up this morning on the "Today" show about just how much her life has changed.
I want to bring SHOWBIZ TONIGHT Nischelle Turner is in Hollywood.
Nischelle, big fan of Giuliana. But wow, what a year it`s been and what a journey this year.
NISCHELLE TURNER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: It has been. It has been a year filled with highs and lows for Giuliana. But today, the E! News host and reality TV star had a great message for her devoted fans using her own struggles and celebrations as examples of just how much life can change just like that. Let`s watch what she said today on the "Today" show.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GUILIANA RANCIC, E! NEWS HOST: It`s amazing to think that I was reflecting on it the other day too, in one year so much has happened. It`s funny. This was the best year of my life because of the baby and it was the worst year of my life because of the breast cancer. But it just goes to show that if you are just strong and you are positive, great things can come out of the darkest time in your life.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
TURNER: You know, this is what I love about her, A.J. Giuliana has been so open about the good and the bad in her life. She pulls no punches along the way. And it is just such an inspiring story. And she and her husband Bill have also just revealed the identity of their surrogate, Delphine, that`s her in the red and white striped top who helped of course bring new baby, Edward Duke, into their lives. And they are featured on this month`s life and style magazine.
Look at them. That`s a good looking family. Yes, it is. I`m going to do the awe for you.
HAMMER: Two very well-deserving parents right there. Such a great spirit and so inspirational.
All right Nischelle, thank you so much.
We move on to number four tonight on the showbiz countdown. Donald Trump`s big Republican national convention surprise. Now, Trump teased it before the convention, nobody ever saw it. It turns out, Trump filmed an unaired you`re fired video. He had an actor playing President Obama. But NBC`s today show has just unveiled it. Let`s watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TRUMP: You`ve run up almost as much debt as every other president combined. I know, I know. It wasn`t your fault. It`s never anybody`s fault. You`ve inherited it, right? The fact is, the American people want results. President Obama, you`re fired.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: OK. Trump certainly one to never shy away from a little controversy.
Let`s go to Hollywood and bring in Jamie Kennedy, host of CW`s hit of game show, "Oh, Sit!" Also in Hollywood, Nikki Boyer, host of "Daytime in No Time" on Yahoo! TV.
And Jamie to you first. I`m thinking that video actually would have done well to create quite a bit of buzz at the Republican National Convention. And you know Trump had to be ticked that it wasn`t played. What do you think of it?
KENNEDY: Donald definitely probably is very upset it wasn`t played. It looked like an interesting video. But can it really top Clint`s talking to a chair? I mean, a legend talking to a chair bringing back the importance of chairs which brings me to my show, "oh, sit," which is on tonight 8:00 at the CW.
NIKKI BOYER, HOST, YAHOO!`S "DAYTIME IN NO TIME": That was good.
HAMMER: Yes. That was pretty good. It was on last night. Earlier tonight at 8:00. But listen, politics and buffoonery aside. It was a clever concept, Nikki. Did Republicans really miss a big opportunity by not showing it, even though they made time for Clint and the chair?
BOYER: Right. I kind of do think they did make a bit of mistake here. Because if I had to choose between which was funnier, Clint Eastwood talking to a chair or you`re fired, I`m going with you`re fired because at least it made me chuckle. I think the Clint Eastwood situation made me feel bad for him.
But, I think overall, my opinion here is like keep politics, politics and keep the funny sketches for "Saturday Night Live." Because honestly, it just doesn`t add up. When I watch these funny moments, I just go, look at them, they`re trying to be funny. That`s really cute.
HAMMER: Yes. That`s a really good point.
All right, let`s get off of that and move from Trump`s big surprise to a daytime TV stunner.
Number three on our countdown of tonight`s biggest buzz makers. It`s Regis and his return. Yes, it was revealed that Reg will be a special guest host with Rachel Ray for the full hour, not just once but once every month. So, welcome back, Reg.
Now Jamie, he couldn`t stay away. Are you shocked to see Regis back on television in daytime? We thought he would appear somewhere else, but Rachel Ray, really?
KENNEDY: I just think Regis is like the energizer bunny. I mean, he can`t stop. One time I did a show with him and he was like hey kid, hurry up. Hurry up. I got (INAUDIBLE). I got to get back. The guy is a legend. He`s 103 years old and he can`t stop. He`s got more energy than anybody. God bless him.
HAMMER: But, are you OK with the idea that he`s doing it on the Rachel Ray show where, you know, we`re going to see Regis, I don`t know, spitting in recipes and stirring things around?
KENNEDY: Are you saying that something might come out of his mouth like a denture or something?
HAMMER: I wasn`t saying exactly that, but.
KENNEDY: And look. You know, at that age, you`ve got to do different things. He`s taking on new stuffs. He is going to make some crepes. Who better to make crepes than Reg?
HAMMER: I suppose you are right. Yeas, Regis Philbin, crepes to me, that goes hand in hand. It was the first thing I thought of and unless it was just forget it.
And talk about timing. It`s been just over a week since Regis` last hosting seat was filled by Michael Stratham on live with Kelly. The show is flying high. I mean the ratings couldn`t be better.
Nikki, I`m wondering if this is just a fantastic coincidence that all the sudden they`re seeing success with Regis` old job and now he`s making this announcement that he is coming back on Rachel Ray.
BOYER: That`s a good point. Well, I think Regis is very smart. He realizes it was time to give his seat to somebody else, which he did. And I think ultimately, he loves working. He loves daytime TV and let`s be honest, I just think he wants free meals by Rachel Ray. I`ll come to your show, I`ll show up. My car will drop me off. I`ll come in, we`ll cook a little something. I will stuff my belly and I`m out. I`m going home to take a nap. I`m 81. Peace. Well, that`s what I think.
HAMMER: That`s a pretty good idea. All the crepes he can eat and it`s not. I know where Regis lives. Not that I`m stalking you. And I adore you. And I think the world of you. But. it is kind of a convenient situation.
Jamie, interesting to you that we are hearing all this now after lives has its big push and hurrah with Michael Stratham coming into the seat next to Kelly?
KENNEDY: You will never know, I mean. I was wondering why Kathy, you know, left back in the day. And now, she is on again on, you know, on the "Today" show. So, I think you know, as you know, it`s in our blood. You don`t want to stop. It makes I feel good. So, I think it is good. And I hope that, you know, Reg on TV is part of American culture.
HAMMER: I think it will be for a long time. And there is nothing wrong with seeing as much Reg as we can get. I like him a lot. Big fan of him.

HAMMER: Or will a new controversy involving Korean music phenom PSY take the number one spot? I`ll reveal the answer coming up next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: We`re counting down the top five biggest buzz makers of the day. Here is where we stand so far.
At number five tonight, Giuliana Rancic exposed baby revelations. You hear from Giuliana for the first time about being a new mom and reveals the surrogate who carried her new baby boy, Edward Duke.
At number four, you`re fired. Donald Trump tells the president he`s fired on a newly revealed video he made for the Republican convention that never aired.
In a number three, he`s back. Regis Philbin has a new TV gig. He`s going to be co-hosting the Rachel Ray show once a month. He said it`s a gig he can`t refuse.
And that brings us to number two on our SHOWBIZ Countdown. The California lifeguards who got fired for going Gangnam style. Now, they made a hilarious parody of Korean rapper PSY`s video Gangnam style and they got canned for using city resources to do this thing.
Jamie Kennedy is the host of "Oh, Sit!", Nikki Boyer who hosts "Daytime in No Time" on Yahoo! TV are both in Hollywood tonight. Everybody, guys, buzzing about the video of the lifeguards from El Monte, California. They gave a whole new twist to the Gangnam style craze. Let`s watch that together.
(VIDEO CLIP PLAYING)
HAMMER: All right, Jamie. I see you going on Gangnam style on us there. Look, these guys were having some fun and then they get canned. They actually just showed up at a big city meeting to beg for their jobs back. Now, even if they didn`t get permission to shoot this at the city pool, are you with me, the city needs to cut them a break and send these guys back to work.
KENNEDY: I got to tell you, I mean, if you watch -- first of all, everybody knows - loves Gangnam style or how do say, Gangnam style. I mean, it`s very catchy. Gangnam style. Gangnam style. And here`s the deal with it. They were synchronized. You saw it. I mean, they were synchronized. That was kind of like an Olympic event. I mean, they were very Gangnam style good. That was good.
HAMMER: I think it was good. And they should keep their jobs. Even PSY, he is the dude behind Gangnam style, he`s backing the lifeguards. And get this. When SHOWBIZ TONIGHT went one-on-one with PSY, he actually revealed to us that he can`t stand that his video is bigger than he is.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
PSY, SINGER: The video is much more popular. So if people say hey I`m PSY. What is PSY? Gangnam style, YouTube? Video? Oh, so things go like this. How come video is more popular than I am? So I`m here to promote myself. I`m the guy. I`m the guy. And I`m the guy.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: He`s the guy, PSY. But he`s getting big-footed by his own video. The lifeguards are getting fired for making a parody of it.
I mean, Nikki, don`t you think that everybody needs to take a deep breath and realized it`s just a video about having some fun? Come on.
BOYER: Yes. And they were - it`s just so everybody knows, they were off duty. It`s not like we were having drowning children because they wanted to make a music video. It was fine. And let`s be honest, it`s not like they were smoking cigarettes and getting in trouble and doing crazy. They were actually being creative and doing something funny. So, I say lighten up. And I have a feeling they are going to get their jobs back. I just do.
KENNEDY: We don`t know what they smoked before. Maybe they smoked before to get that style.
HAMMER: That is true, Jamie. We can`t say any truth about that one way or the other.
KENNEDY: They are great. Give them their jobs back.
HAMMER: Give them their jobs back.
All right. Time to reveal number one on our SHOWBIZ the countdown of the top five biggest buzz makers. And I love this. Jennifer Aniston`s outrageously funny brand new ad for Smart Water. It reminded all of us just how good she is at TV comedy. Let`s watch.

ANISTON: Listen, don`t cry. And if you are a good boy, I am going to play hide and seek with you later. I told you.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don`t want to hide. You always make me hide. I think you`re ashamed of me.
ANISTON: Good night, Rachel. Oh, God.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Perfect. I mean, come on. Jamie, isn`t it time for Jen to get back to her roots and I don`t mean her hair and star in another great sitcom?
KENNEDY: She`s hilarious. I`m so dumb, I thought that was real. I was like wow, they got tapes, what`s going on? Oh, my God. How did she get so pregnant? She`s hilarious. And it took me two times to recognize that was Jimmy Kimmel. I thought that was Gangnam style.
HAMMER: It was completely Gangnam style. And quite frankly, I`m glad once you saw it was Jimmy Kimmel playing her son there, you realized, it was actually a parody and not for real. But come on, Jen, back on TV.
All right, Jamie Kennedy, Nikki Boyer. Thank you both so much. Be sure to check out Jamie`s new game show. It is called "oh, sit." It`s Wednesdays on the CW.

CARLY RAE JEPSEN, SINGER: OK.
TURNER: For you. First, nine weeks at number one on the billboard 100. Quintuple platinum single. Number one on the iTunes singles charts in 37 countries. Touring now with Justin Bieber. Pretty darn good to be Carly Rae Jepsen, yes?
JEPSEN: It`s surreal to have it read back like that. But it`s amazing to me. It`s actually hearing my dreams come true.
TURNER: All of this from a video that you put on YouTube.
JEPSEN: Well, actually, the video that we did was kind of in a smaller budget like Canadian thing. But it went to a music station there. And it was Justin`s video that he did for his fans that really kind of sparked the viral.
TURNER: When you saw Justin Bieber do the lip-synching version on you- tube, did you say, why me? Why this song? What do you mean? What`s going on here?
JEPSEN: Someone posted it on my Facebook account and I remember watching it back and thinking that`s amazing. And I thought that boy looks a lot like Justin Bieber. No idea. And now, I watched it three more times because I had a Selena Gomez kind of step out of it. I think that is.
TURNER: That is Justin Bieber.
JEPSEN: I think that might be him.
TURNER: I`ve heard me say that it`s their guilty pleasure song. They love it. They`re singing in the shower song, their dance around the house song. Is there a fear though, that you can`t ever live up to that success that you had and oh, my God, will I be a one-hit wonder?
JEPSEN: They have to understand, when "Call Me Maybe" hit number 64on Canadian iTunes, I was stoked. And living forward, I look Release the album "Kiss," it`s just like a gift. I get to show the other songs that I write and I get to show the other flavors that I am as an artist. And I`m nothing but excited about that.
TURNER: Are you that girl that can march up to somebody and say here`s my number?
JEPSEN: Here`s my number. I`ve had moments in love. I did a kiss and run once. That`s as brave as I get.
