Earlier today, Taylor Armstrong spoke with Dr. Phil for a tear-filled hour of discussion about her late husband's suicide. While the entire show was hard to watch, perhaps the worst bit was listening to Taylor's play-by-play of her daughter learning of her father's death: More »

Earlier today, Levi Johnston appeared on Dr. Phil's talk show to refute some of the points Bristol Palin made about him during her recent press tour promoting her new book. Now that Levi's book, the aptly-titled Deer In Headlights, is about to make its debut, that apparently means it's his turn to talk. With that in mind, Dr. Phil curated a collection of Bristol's press clips in which she spoke about Levi and had them all queued up so that Johnston could plead his case for each. It goes pretty much how you'd expect: "What does that say about her? She dated a 'gnat' for four years, so..." Okay, then. More »

Today Jessica Beagley, the mom convicted of child abuse for pouring hot sauce into her son's mouth and giving him cold showers, was given a suspended sentence of 180 days. She was also put on three years of probation, ordered to continue counseling, and fined $2,500, though the fine will also be suspended if she completes probation.

36-year-old Jessica Beagley from Anchorage, Alaska is now facing misdemeanor child abuse charges after a home video she sent in to the Dr. Phil show completely backfired. The "Angry Moms" episode featured Beagley shouting to her son, "What happens when you lie to me? You get hot sauced!" And then she poured said hot sauce down his throat. As if that wasn't enough punishment for the small crimes of wriggling in his seat and pencil sword-fighting at school, she followed it up with a cold shower. Mother Of The Year, anyone? More »

• Though we've already read the eulogy for SATC, Hollywood executives have decided to revive the franchise with a film based on Candace Bushnell's prequel book The Carrie Diaries. And if you believe some anonymous insider, Michael Patrick King wants Blake Lively to play Carrie Bradshaw. "There are no plans to bring SJP and the other girls back together in the old format," says the source. "The prequel is about breathing new life into the story and exploring Carrie's first few months in NYC and the beginning of her relationship with an older man." If Star Wars: Episodes I-III have taught us anything, it's that prequels are always an awesome idea! Now that Blake has been cast, it's time to start looking for someone to play the culturally insensitive Jar Jar Binks character. [Grazia]
• Christina Aguilera released a statement about flubbing the lyrics to the national anthem at the Super Bowl. "I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place," she says. "I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through." [Rolling Stone]
• Supposedly Christina was "visibly upset" and flew home right after the performance. [E!]
