Oprah Winfrey says talk show will end in 2011

We don't want to say we told you so, but way back on two weeks ago we said Oprah Winfrey's talk show may be shutting down as the most influential female entertainer in the universe focused on her new network. So Juice*heads shouldn't have been surprised when she announced Friday that her last episode would end on Sept. 9, 2011, the AP now says. That's just in time for the 25th anniversary!

"Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit," she said, noting prayer and careful thought led to her decision."... I certainly never could have imagined the yellow brick road of blessings that have led me to this moment."

Winfrey didn't offer any specifics on what would happen once she moved over to the Oprah Winfrey Network, but we're willing to bet she'll have some other kind of show. You think she makes money by doing nothing? Meanwhile, the rest of the show's lifespan won't disappoint, she promises.

"Over this holiday break, my team and I will be brainstorming new ways that we can entertain you and inform you and uplift you when we return here in January," she said. "And then, season 25 -- we are going to knock your socks off."

That can only mean one thing: Eating contests, monster truck rallies, fireworks and nonstop NASCAR!

Pamela Anderson had to tell her kids about Tommy Lee sex tape

The grandmammy of all sex-tape mistresses finally has to pay what she owes, as Pamela Anderson confesses she had to tell her two kids about her celluloid shenanigans with then-husband Tommy Lee. Gee, mom, we'd rather talk about menopause than to hear about this, they said.

Anderson said during an interview with British talk show host Jeremy Kyle that her boys Brandon, 12, and Dylan, 11, are finally of the age where things like her background in videography are coming into play, the New York Daily News reports, especially since it was mention in 2006's Borat.

"I knew kids were going to watch the film and there was a reference to the tape in the movie and they're that age and, you know, people are going start saying things," the 47-year-old said. "I just said, 'Look, Mummy and Daddy were massively in love, we videotaped everything, everything was videotaped, and you're probably going hear about something at school.' "

Since all the kids have iPhones these days, we doubt they'll just hear about it. Although, it's been a long time since 1998, so maybe 12-year-old boys aren't as into porn as they used to be. Oh, who are we kidding?

Rihanna may have a thing for 90210's Tristan Wilds

We're closing in on a year since Chris Brown savagely attacked Rihanna, so it must be about time to hear if she's ready to date again. Forget the Justin Timberlake rumors; The New York Daily News says she's taken a shine to 90210's Tristan Wilds.

The 20-year-old actor showed up at a party Rihanna was hosting over the weekend at her L.A. home before leaving for London, and guests noted the sparks were immediately noticeable.

"No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate," a source says. "But everyone quickly realized they weren't meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see."

In fact, the pair met when a music producer introduced them. Wilds starred in The Wire and Jay-Z's Roc Boys video, and is working on an album of his own, which is a prerequisite for young actors these days.

"He's a real gentleman," the source adds. "She likes him a lot, and it shows. From the moment he walked into her party, Rihanna lit up."

The affection is only supposed to get more intense, the source promises: "They're already planning to use iChat and Skype to stay in contact until Tristan finishes shooting 90210 for the season and can fly out to meet her on the road." Good, that'll keep us busy here at The Juice* for a spell.

Tila Tequla sues Shawne Merriman for abuse

In an incremental legal update, reality TV princess Tila Tequila is suing ex-boyfriend and San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman for domestic abuse, the AP reports. The penalty for allegedly choking a 100-pound MySpace mistress, according to the suit: $1.5 million.

Merriman was arrested on Sept. 6 after Tila (nee Tila Nguyen) signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing him of battery and false imprisonment at his home. Merriman, 25, countered he was trying to protect Tila -- by throwing her to the ground and holding her down to prevent her from leaving. She might have been drunk, but Meriman's lawyer won't say that was the reason.

This civil suit is the result of local DA Bonnie Dumanis not filing charges against Shawne, despite the fact that he weighs in pretty close to three bills, and probably didn't have to force Tila to the ground to stop her, let alone allegedly choke her. We think it's entirely possible all those steroids Merriman's been taking may have clouded his judgment.

Gossip Girls: Blake Lively's breasts build buzz

If you were paying attention to coverage of the premier of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee in New York on Saturday (and really, who didn't?), you may have noticed Gossip Girl star Blake Lively's ensemble (far left), if only because of what wasn't there.

New York magazine's Jessica Pressler noticed, too, writing: "The assets Lively flaunts most flamboyantly are not on her head: They're on her chest. ... Regarding her bisque-colored, seemingly nippleless boobs, rounding like Barbie's out of her tiny jacket, we realized we'd seen those things before. Many, many times. Clearly, Lively, who has said she does not employ a stylist, is trying to make Abundant Cleave her look."

The Juice*'s crack investigative team looked into it for a whole seven minutes and realized that yes, the 22-year-old has a penchant for plunging necklines. Above you can see here on the red carpet at the Emmys (second photo), at an after-party for the same event (third) and at a fashion show in September (last). What do you expect from the star of a show that touted a threesome as a big ratings draw?

Levi Johnston 'did not go full frontal' for Playgirl

Sorry to disappoint all five of you Levi Johnston fans, but he doesn't go full-frontal in his nude photo shoot for Playgirl. That's fine, we've already seen quite enough of him as it is, thank you.

"Although Playgirl is ecstatic with the footage of the Levi Johnston shoot, and viewers are going to be pleased and surprised, Levi did not go completely full frontal, as was suggested by his camp a few weeks ago," magazine rep Daniel Nardicio tells Us. "Levi looks great in the shoot, and was a consummate professional, and we look forward to releasing the photos very soon."

Levi isn't ready for his 14th minute to end quite so soon, manager Tank Jones says, telling Us: "People need to wait. I was on the shoot. I know what was shot."

That tells us only one thing -- something wasn't what Playgirl had hoped. Perhaps the size of his ... ego?

Megan Fox wasn't allowed to joke about Hitler

If watching 30 Rock isn't enough for you to understand why the nitwits at Saturday Night Live can't get their acts together, Megan Fox explains the problems with her monologue during her guest shot awhile back for the season premiere. Namely, the best idea from her writers involved Adolf Hitler.

“There’s one specific pitch that we can’t do,” Fox told NY Times Magazine. ‘They wanted me to do a Q. and A. with the audience for the opening monologue. And Hitler is in the audience. Hitler stands up and says, ‘Why did you compare me to Michael Bay?’ Which is funny, but we can’t do that.”

We're not exactly sure what it is about this that makes it unairable. Frankly, the actual monologue (watch it below) is what should have been cut down, because everyone knows how to use Photoshop.

Charlie's Angels is being remade for ABC

The deadly remake virus sweeping Hollywood has reached into television, past the 1980s (re: V) and into the '70s, where Charlie's Angels is the latest victim ready to be ruined for prime time, Variety says. Weren't the movies bad enough?

The 1976-81 Aaron Spelling series will be adapted for ABC by Josh Friedman, the guy who was responsible for the ill-fate Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. So, he obviously knows how to modernize a classic franchise, right?

Original Angels producer Leonard Goldberg and movie-version star and producer Drew Barrymore are on board to lend a hand (and some cash). Maybe this version will have the same fate as a failed 2004 bid, but we doubt it: those angels are very resourceful.

Carrie Prejean calls Larry King 'inappropriate' for asking her about why she's on his show

The strange saga of former Miss California Carrie Prejean took a turn for the surreal on Wednesday night's Larry King Live, with Prejean threatening to walk off the show because Larry dared to ask her about her settlement with the Miss California USA pageant. Even stranger, it turns out people really care what she says -- she was in Twitter's trending topics all day as the video clip of the interview (watch it above) went viral.

After a lengthy diatribe about how the "liberal media" unfairly attacks conservative women (Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi probably have a response to that), King asked Prejean about why she dropped claims of libel, slander and religious discrimination in her suit against the pageant. Carrie said she couldn't say, thanks to a confidentiality agreement.

"Why settle when you had a fight to carry on? You can't even say why you settled?" King pressed.

"Larry, it's completely confidential and you're being inappropriate," Prejean answered.

In the ensuing argument, it becomes vaguely apparent that Carrie may not even understand what her confidentiality agreement entails, although smart Juice*heads know that the answer may be that the pageant's attorney revealed a solo sex tape Prejean made when she was only 17 years old -- although that, too, may be untrue, since she may have been 20 but wanted people to think she was 17 so it wouldn't get out. That's the rumor, anyway.

King gets passive aggressice, saying "Okay, Inappropriate King Live continues," and going to a caller who asks about gay marriage, during which Prejean removes her microphone and chats with someone offstage, sitting at her desk like a spoiled brat instead of getting up and walking out like a truly indignant person would.

"I think you are being extremely inappropriate right now, and I'm about to leave your show," Prejean tells King, later saying it was wrong of Larry to take phone calls. Has she never watched the show? And this begs the question, if she doesn't want to talk about the stuff that's making her famous, why exactly does she think she deserves to be on Larry King Live?

We'd also like to note when Larry came back from commercial, she hadn't gone anywhere. She has a book to promote, you know.

Fergie says she's faithful to Josh Duhamel, despite her bisexual past

Let's steer away from tales that Josh Duhamel was cheating on wife Fergie, since we've found out that the Duchess is also one to enjoy a roll in the hay with another woman. We woulda never guessed it.

"I've had a lot of fun with women, and I'm not ashamed of it," she tells the Advocate. "But just because I enjoy women doesn't mean I'm allowed to have affairs in my relationship."

And what brought on this confessions? Professional help, of course.

"I learned through talking with my therapist that it is still cheating even if it's with girls, so there is a rule there," she says, noting that there's another thing keeping her from walking away: "The problem is that I also love a well-endowed man."

She doesn't understand why this confession on bisexuality is such a big deal, though. She says she's been honest with Josh "from the get-go" and it has been brought up before.

"Go back four or five years, people, and you'll see the same answer," she says.

But even with such a sordid past, don't plan on seeing a sex tape of Fergie with Josh or anyone else.

"No, that's not happening. We're too smart for that," she says. "We've done some filming but with no tape in the camera." Yeah, that's what Josh told her, anyway.
