Video: Lauren Alaina Interview: No, I Am Not Dating Scotty! (Photos)

Posted on May 26, 2011 by Parisa Michelle

SPOTTED: American Idol runner up, Lauren Alaina, was at The Grove in Los Angeles Thursday for an interview with Mario Lopez of Extra.

Lauren was there the morning after the finale. Mario asked Lauren what she whispered in Scotty’s ear before Ryan Seacrest announced the results. She said I asked him, “Are you ready to win? Cause you’re gonna win!” She also said the Idol process was a lot harder than she expected but it has prepared her for whatever lies in the future for her. For those of you wondering how her voice is, she said she is hoarse but other than sounding like a man for now, she’s doing great and will be fine.

I asked Lauren the big question on everyone’s mind: Is she dating Scotty McCreery? Here is her answer in this video:

SPOTTED: Teresa Giudice of the Real Housewives of New Jersey at The Grove in Los Angeles to surprise host of Extra, Mario Lopez.

Teresa stepped onto the Extra set bearing a batch of Holy Cannoli Cupcakes for Mario, made from her new Fabulicious!: Teresa’s Italian Family Cookbook. And of course, he ate one and loved it!

Mario taught Teresa how to dance (see video below) and Teresa in return taught Mario how to flip a table New Jersey/Italian style — and Mario did great–you can see the video below. Teresa said, “It all comes from the guns. First, you have to bang on the table!” Then, flip!

Teresa spoke about the latest addition to the Housewives cast: Her sister in law, Melissa Gorga who is married to her brother Joe. Teresa said she and her brother were best friends until he got married but things are not so peachy anymore and it just breaks her heart.

After taping ended, Teresa chatted up with Mario’s girlfriend, Courtney Mazza and gushed over their baby Gia.

VIDEO: Star Jones Calls Obama’s Interruption of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ A “Pimp Move!”

Posted on May 2, 2011 by Parisa Michelle

Star Jones was at The Grove in Los Angeles Monday May 2 for an interview with Mario Lopez of Extra and to promote her book, Satan’s Sisters.

Her timing could not have been more perfect. Star appeared only a few hours after the May 1 episode of Celebrity Apprentice was interrupted by a Barack Obama press conference announcing the death of Osama Bin Laden. The interruption started a lot of murmurs that Obama timed the press conference to show Trump who the real boss is!

In the video below, Star called the interruption of the show Obama’s “pimp move.” In the video, she also talks about her thoughts on La Toya Jackson’s return to the show and Donald Trump’s plans to run for President of the good ‘ole US.

In this second video below, Star talks about her fight with NeNe Leaks – Just like on Celebrity Apprentice, she says she wanted to show how an educated sophisticated woman acts under stress versus a “ghetto money” woman. Oh no she didn’t. But oh ya, she did.

Watch the videos. More photos coming soon. Watch the whole interview on Extra – I have only included 1% of it. It’s really good!!
