Miley Cyrus' dad, Billy Ray, called world-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz a paparazzo after she "jumped out" and "snapped away" at him at a, uh, completely planned out, Billy Ray-sanctioned photoshoot? • Hulk Hogan broke down and got religious while talking about son Nick Hogan's car accident and arrest, saying it will make both his son and his son's friend (who is in a vegetative state) "better people." • Reconciliation watch: James Haven, Angelina Jolie's brother (you know, the one she smooched), went to the Lakers game with estranged father Jon Voight.

Clips of Britney's second appearance on How I Met Your Mother have leaked. She looks cute! • Jason Lee revealed that he and girlfriend Ceren Alkac are expecting a baby girl. This will be baby #2 for Lee. His 4-year-old son, Pilot Inspektor, is currently getting beat up in preschool for that ridiculous name. • Ryan Seacrest is allegedly in talks to replace Larry King when his contract runs out next year. If nothing else, young Ryan will at least be less gassy than Larry. [Us, People, Dlisted]

Larry King Is Obsessed With Janet Jackson's Yo-Yoing Weight
Janet Jackson was on Larry King Live last night and Larry would just not leave her alone about that chunk of time when she was mysteriously fat about two years ago. But Janet has notoriously yo-yoed with her weight since she was a teenager, and she told Larry that she's actually writing a book all about her journey of accepting her body and being happy with herself. But Larry wouldn't let it drop there. Oh no! He wanted to hear about the specific foods she binged on, and then grilled her on the nicknames she earned as a kid, referring to her weight. Clip above.

Jon Stewart: Barack Obama "Cured My Leprosy"
While some were busy doing drunken post-mortems on the season premiere of America's Next Top Model last night, others were busy swooning over Daily Show host Jon Stewart, who appeared on Larry King Live to discuss the writer's strike, the Oscars (he's hosting this Sunday, don't you know?) and, of course, the election. See what he had to say about the criticisms and cults of personality surrounding Senators Clinton and Obama, above.

BREAKING OMG: Did John McCain Bone Blonde Lobbyist?!
- Maybe no.. But he would have, if loyal advisers had not protected him from himself! Loyal advisers who are now telling the Times all about it? (Loyal advisers who wish he had left the GOP? Seems poss!) Vicki Iseman. A youthful-looking 40. Pretty! Deny deny deny. Gary Hart was his groomsman, you know! The "miracle" Huckabee's been waiting for? [NYT]
- Let's be clear, Bill O'Reilly doesn't want to "lynch" Michelle Obama. Not until he has enough "evidence." He will "track it down." [Media Matters]
- Tucker Carlson just said he thinks she's got a "chip on her shoulder." Not that there's anythign wrong with that.
- All she was talking about was the record turnout! [CBS News]
- And let's go back to the chip thing for a sec. As Chris Matthews so helpfully pointed out this morning, slavery was in the Constitution. She grew up bound and determined to succeed, flung herself into an Ivy League bastion of entrenched privilege and classism and survived. Better than can be said for some of us but whatevs. [WSJ]

It Takes A Village (Or At Least A Grandma) To Raise Barack Obama's Girls
Last night, Michelle Obama — accessorized with perfect flip, a strand of pearls, and a pair of seriously-toned upper arms — sat down with Larry King for a quick, calm chat about issues both political and personal, specifically motherhood (Michelle admits she has a village to help her raise her two daughters), Hillary Clinton's attacks on her husband, and a guy named Bill. Clip above, and entire 18-minute interview here.

Snoop Dogg Tells Larry King He Belongs To "The Gangsta Party"
Rap star/weed connisseur Snoop Dogg appeared on Larry King Live on Friday evening, where he discussed parenting and politics and made a big fan out of Larry (who actually dropped words like "crackalackin'" and "shizzle"). In a pre-taped segment, the two went to a restaurant to eat chicken and waffles; Larry ordered an Arnold Palmer (ice tea and lemonade), so Snoop invented the Tiger Woods (lemonade and water). When they discussed politics, Snoop wouldn't disclose who has his vote, but he did say that if he does vote for Obama, it wouldn't just be because he's black. In fact, he seemed pretty fond of both Hillary and Bill Clinton when discussing the race for the presidency. Clip above.

Mary Kay Letourneau Weighs In On Debra Lafave
Debra Lafave, the Florida teacher convicted of having sex with one of her male students, was spared jail yesterday after violating her probation. In honor of the occasion, Larry King got "original" naughty schoolteacher, Mary Kay Letourneau (what is it with these pedophile women and surnames with the sound "Lay" in them?), on the phone to weigh in. Mary Kay, 46, told King that she thinks yesterday's court decision regarding LaFave was "fair", and chatted briefly about her family life with her former child lover/now-husband Vili Fualaau, 24, and their two daughters. And even though she's not allowed to teach ever again, Letourneau couldn't help but gently correct King's pronunciation of her husband's last name. (It's about time someone called King out on his idiotic, ignorant utterances. Doesn't he listen to his producers?). Clip above. More »

Dr. Laura Blames Whiny Women, "Defends" Her Soldier Son
Remember Dr. Laura? Well, she turned up on Larry King Live last night, where she held forth on everything from Britney (bad parent) to Lindsay (wasting her talents) to Hillary (so what if she cried?). In addition to questions about famous females, viewers solicited advice from Schlessinger on domestic disputes, and we noticed something a little funny, namely, that Schlessinger's answer for everything was blame the woman. (Sound familiar?) Her indignation took a turn for the, uh, different, however, when she was asked about her soldier son, Deryk, and reports that he created a MySpace page that included "cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation" and "a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned 'My Sweet Little Habib'", among other things.

Jesus Christ: What the fuck is up with Republican presidential candidates and cruelty towards animals? First, in a National Lampoon-like moment of utter idiocy, Mitt Romney straps the family dog to the roof of his car; now Mike Huckabee's son David is said to have lynched a stray dog while working as a counselor at a Boy Scout camp. (Where's the Michael Vick-worthy outrage? Unlike Vick, Romney and Huckabee don't have the excuse of their "cultural upbringings". Or do they?) Anyway, on last night's Larry King Live, King asked Huckabee about the lynching and Huckabee responded with something about David being a "minor" at the time of the incident and an upstanding Eagle Scout. (David wasn't following Scout Law about "kindness", was he?). Then Huckabee supporter Chuck Norris weighed in, using the phrase "choking unconscious". Interesting choice of words, considering! More »
Huckabee's "Minor" Son Was Still A Major Asshole

For reasons unknown, The Insider interviewed Larry King, his wife, and their two children about how they plan to spend the holidays. It's the first time King's sons Chance, 8, and Cannon, 7, have been interviewed, and they're not only rambunctious, but it's pretty awesome how they don't really care to behave when the cameras are around. In the clip above, watch how Larry is confused when the family is singing Christmas carols, but then the boys decide to sing Kanye West's "You Can't Tell Me Nothin'." It's not really Larry's fault though, he is like five generations older than they are.

Elle Editor Robbie Myers: "The Devil, Yes. I'm The Devil"
Anna Wintour she's not, but is Roberta "Robbie" Myers gunning for more name recognition? Not only is she rumored to be meeting with producers to become the next Nina Garcia, the Elle editor-in-chief (and former boss to our very own Jennifer Gerson) appeared on Larry King Live last night to tout the new issue of her magazine, its cover subject (guest Posh Spice) and, presumably, herself. (Jen confirms what we've suspected: She is "camera-shy" and "rarely does TV".) Anyway, here's what we learned: Ms. Myers has seen the Devil Wears Prada. She's different from Ms. Wintour in that she doesn't have any fur coats (but seems to like leather). She also endorses the idea of celebrities who design their own clothing and perfume lines. (Of course she does; Sarah Jessica Parker is a major advertiser!). Get to know Robbie in the clip above, and, as an added bonus, check out Posh's self-aware, slightly cute camera-faces as she arranges her head and lips for the best camera-angles.

Brad Pitt To Larry King: Yup, There's More Kids To Come
Brad Pitt was on Larry King Live last night, and, although he was there to promote his charity in New Orleans, he had to field questions from Larry about Angelina and the kids. Brad said that the kids think it's totally normal to come out of a house or building and see a wall of photographers, and he wishes there were laws against the paparazzi calling out the kids' names and following them. And although he kept reminding Larry that he tries to keep his private life private, he did gush a little, especially about Zahara, calling her "an absolute delight." Also, though they already have Zahara, Maddox, Pax and Shiloh, Brad admitted (again) that he and Angelina are "just getting started" in terms of children. The Jolie-Pitt Army will inherit the earth! Check out the clip, above.

It's (Kinda) Settled: Tyra Banks Had A Nose Job
This Larry King Live clip settles it for me: Tyra Banks has had a nose job. Dodai and I have been having this back and forth with each other about it. In her infamous "161" People magazine interview, she said, "I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business." But this archival footage from Larry King, that was re-aired on Monday, leaves me completely convinced that she's had work done. Larry asks, "Are you afraid of plastic surgery?" She responds, "No, I'm not afraid of plastic surgery and I'm not against it... I feel like everybody should make a choice and, you know, if they want to do that, that's fine. I'm so not against it." Yeah, the girl she's talking to is the one looking back her in the mirror. Also, she's clearly not against visible lace fronts, either! More »

Howard K. Stern: I Did Have Sexual Relations With That Woman
Howard K. Stern was on Larry King Live last night to discus his $60 million libel lawsuit against Rita Cosby for allegations she made in her book Blonde Ambition. Larry played clips of Howard's past appearances on the show, including one in which he appears with Anna and the two claim to strictly have a client/lawyer/BFF relationship. Another clip shows him claiming to be Dannielynn's father, and that the two had been secret lovers for years. Even confronted with his own lies and shady behavior, he still insists on sticking to his story of the moment — that he and Anna were lovers for years, that they truly believed he was the father of the baby, that he was willing to take a DNA test to prove that the whole time, that they didn't do drugs, and that he never sucked off Larry Birkhead. Howard also discussed recently-surfaced pictures in which Anna looks totally wasted while holding daughter Danielynn. Check out the shots after the jump. More »

Get ready to gasp and/or cry. The clip above is of Tammy Faye on Larry King Live last night. As you probs, know, Tammy Faye is incredibly sick with an inoperable form of cancer, and although she's far surpassed her initial prognosis — a feat that's been attributed to her unflappable good nature and positive attitude — the end seems to be imminent. If you've never seen the film The Eyes of Tammy Faye, put it on your Netflix queue, and now. The documentary shows Tammy for the woman that she is: Campy and cute, with a heart of gold. I know that when she passes, my eyeliner and mascara will be running down my face—which will actually be a fitting tribute to the woman who wants to be "remembered for my eyelashes." Keep her in your prayers, if that's something you do. More »
