You gotta hand it to Chelsea Handler!

Gurl has NO problem with owning up to what she says about people - to their face!

Case in point: LeAnn Rimes, with whom the late night talk show host had a field day when she cheated on her first husband with the also-married Eddie Cibrian, appeared on Chelsea Lately last night to promote her new album, and well, to say it was a little awkward would be putting it mildly!

Ch-ch-check out the interview (above)!

Yeah. You can totally tell how nervous LeAnn is…and how Chelsea still probably stands by exactly what she said back in the day!

LOLz! But props for playing nice on air, ladies!

Epic bummer! We were REALLY looking forward to this!

Last month, we were very excited to hear that our fave Liza Minnelli had been cast in an episode of TV Land's Hot in Cleveland.

We had heard that she was set to play the agent of Wendie Malick's character Victoria Chase.

Now, we've learned that Liza's being forced to cancel her Cleveland shoot because she's unable to travel due to a recent ankle injury.

We're very sorry to hear this, but more than anything else we just want Ms. Minnelli to fully recover.

UR in our thoughts, Liza!

Everyone who has one (and who doesn't have one by now) knows that Twitter is the fastest way to stay up to date with current events. The micro-blog has completely changed how we all get knews and realizing that, journalist have now taken up using it as a tool to share breaking news stories with the world.

Or at least, they did. Seems big news corporations are cracking down on their staffs to ensure that their network gets all the coverage and hits from a story, not their team's Twitter pages. With that in mind, BBC sent out a memo to their staffers yesterday, announcing that reporters are NOT allowed to break news stories on Twitter before they tell their newsroom colleagues.

Chris Hamilton, the BBC's social media editor, elaborated on the decision, saying:

We were won over as soon as we heard that Vampire Diaries/90210 hottie Stephen Amell was cast in this show…but we suppose we'd like to hear more!

During a recent interview, CW's development head Thom Sherman opened up about the upcoming Green Arrow pilot, and he had the following to say about it:

Sigh… poor Brian Williams!

NBC's newest news magazine, Rock Center, hadn't exactly been doing well in its Monday 10pm spot.

So the execs had a little chit-chat and moved the show to Wednesday at 9pm.

But that failed! As usual, the show scored a 1.1 rating with 5.3 million viewers.

Oh well, we're not too worried for Brian. The big wig over at NBC says Rock Center is his project and he knows it's gonna take a while before everyone sees how great it is.

Lovin the optimism!!

Congrats ladies! (BUT only to three of you!)

Even though ratings for the first season of The Real Housewives of Miami sucked were less than average, it's been confirmed that BRAVO is giving them a second season.

To mix things up the network is only inviting 3 the original cast members — Marysol Patton, Lea Black and Adriana De Moura — back. Others expected to be announced soon.

In a press release Thursday BRAVO reps said:

That's not EXACTLY how we remember it, but hey!

He certainly had us in stitches!

Martin Short made a HIGHlarious appearance on Conan last night, and during his interview, decided to 'recreate' Madonna's Vogue performance during last week's Super Bowl halftime show!

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

He certainly has the hand movements down, doesn't he? Ha!

Weeeeerk, boy!

Well here's a fun twist on Beauty and the Beast!!

As Emilie de Ravin plays Belle, her kingdom is threatened by the Ogre wars.

So she suggests they enlist the help of Rumplestilstkin (Beast). While Rumple agrees, he does so only on one condition — he must have Belle!

She agrees as Gaston's dismay but soon finds an evil lurking inside…

Watch the sneak peeks above and tell us UR theories!!
