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.

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.

No Doubt sues Activision over Band Hero avatar use

The gang from No Doubt has its legal briefs in a twist over Activision's Band Hero, since you can play the game as the band and let them perform any of several dozen songs that aren't related to the ska-pop group. Wait, these are the same folks who had a big hit by covering Talk Talk's It's My Life, right?

Band manager Jim Guerinot tells Rolling Stone that No Doubt was "mortified" to learn not only could their avatars sing other songs, but individual group members could perform other songs solo.

"They're just like, 'What? We didn't sign up for this,'" he says. The answer? A lawsuit alleging fraudulent inducement and breach of contract.

"Without the band’s knowledge or approval Activision turned the group into virtual karaoke players by having them perform over 60 additional songs by other musical groups," a statement read. "... Despite repeated requests by the band that Activision honor its contract Activision has refused claiming the necessary fix would be too expensive.” 

Activision isn't backing down, saying in a statement that the company "believes it is within its legal rights with respect to the use and portrayal of the band members in the game and that this lawsuit is without merit." 

We wonder how long it will take the band to realize that even if there was a breach of contract, throwing a hissy fit and suing only makes them look bad. If we want to make Gwen Stefani sing Styx's Mr. Roboto, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Parents group wants to stop 'Gossip Girl' threesome

That super-secret threesome episode of Gossip Girl has caught the eye of a parents group, who have complained to CW affiliates that Monday's episode should be yanked from the air so their precious kids don't have to be exposed to the realities of primetime television competing with basic cable.

The Parents Television Council president Tim Winter says in a letter obtained by Entertainment Weekly that stations will be “complicit in establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers should engage in behaviors heretofore associated primarily with adult films" if they show the episode.

Furthermore, the group threatens that "the affiliate, not the CW network, that will bear the financial burden of an FCC fine should any of the content of the November 9th episode be found to violate broadcast decency laws." Of course, there's no mention fo the fact that lawyers and censors probably have vetted the thing eight ways from Tuesday already, but it sounds good, right?

Hey Tim, while you're decrying TV shows targeted at teens for promoting "high-risk sexual behaviors," we'd like to remind you there are usually buttons to allow you to either change the channel or turn off the damn set and talk to your kids instead of letting the glowing picture box raise them.

Humorless Catholics could be mad at Larry David

It's safe to say Catholics may not be the biggest fans of Larry David, since Sunday's episode of Curb Your Enthusiam involved urine splashing on a painting of Jesus. Who woulda thunk David had a penchant for being rude, demeaning and offensive?

"I don't think it's funny," InsideCatholic.com publisher Deal Hudson told Fox News. "Why is it that people are allowed to publicly show that level of disrespect for Christian symbols? If the same thing was done to a symbol of any other religions — Jewish or Muslim — there'd be a huge outcry. It's simply not a level playing field."

The plot in question involved Larry's assistant believing her mother's painting of Jesus is crying because of Larry's unfortunate backsplash. And of course, that's the MOST SHOCKING THING EVAR!!!1!!

"Anyone who follows Curb Your Enthusiasm knows that the show is full of parody and satire," HBO told E!. "Larry David makes fun of everyone, most especially himself. The humor is always playful and certainly never malicious."

Indeed, disrespecting religion is a favorite pastime for David. Did you guys never see Seinfeld?

Jon Gosselin, Octomom Nadya Suleman may be going on a date for TV

We tried to ban Jon Gosselin and Octomom Nadya Suleman, but the event horizon of media-generated gossip is upon us: The pair are going out on a date for a reality show, In Touch Weekly says. Repent, for the end is nigh.

"I heard that Nadya has an insatiable desire to spend time with Jon and to put their families together," former Cheaters producer Bobby Goldstein apparently told the mag, the New York Daily News says. "And I had the idea that this could be a very entertaining fiasco."

Mind you, both sides are denying this is in the works, but a press release says cameras will record Jon "as he contemplates what hooking up with Octomom could really be like. He's totally creeped out by the idea that if they got married, they'd have 22 kids."

We'd be totally creeped out by that, too, if it were true at all. Gosselin's manager told E! you shouldn't believe everything you read, thankfully.

"This is the first I've even heard of it," he said. "This isn't happening."

Note Goldstein is never quoted as saying it really is a factual, paid-for and signed-for show. And so we go back to trying our best to ignore this, and ruefully whimpering in a corner as we tell ourselves we're different from other gossip outlets because we make fun of morons like this. That's what we do, right? Right???

Nicole Richie shows off son Sparrow James Midnight Madden

Since nobody really seems to care about Nicole Richie anymore, she and hubby Joel Madden were quick to jump on a deal with People to show off their newest baby, six-week-old son Sparrow James Midnight Madden. With a name like that, the next kid will be on the cover of Mad Magazine.

"I couldn't be happier," Richie tells the mag. "The only thing you want is for your kids to be healthy and happy, and they are. I'm right where I belong." Back in the spotlight, we presume, if only for a week.

Also with the 28-year-old and her spouse is 21-month-old daughter Harlow, who seems to have taken a shine to Sparrow: "I'm glad I had a girl before I had a boy. She just loves him so much."

The Juice* is not one to hate on the kids, so we'll say that's sweet and call it a day. If you become interested in either Richie or Good Charlotte, dear readers, please let us know.

Meryl Streep's daughter Mamie Gummer is engaged

The celebrity dirt beat is a little clean today, so we're forced to report stuff like the fact that Meryl Streep's daughter is engaged. Next on The Juice*: Sandra Oh's doorman has a toothache.

Mamie Gummer, who takes after mom by being an actress, told Us she is engaged to actor boyfriend Ben Walker: "He proposed two days ago. ... He did it on one knee!" Yes, Mamie, that's usually how proposals are done.

The couple had been dating for about a year and a half after working together on a film and a Broadway production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. we'll probably update you on the wedding someday, unless one of Meryl's three other kids with Don Gummer do something noteworthy.

Wilmer Valderrama is ... the Dog Whisperer

Usually we're complaining that TV networks only greenlight reality shows these days, but how about a scripted show taken from a reality show? When that happens you get stuff like Wilmer Valderrama playing a character based on Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan, Variety says.

Fox is developing a show with Valderrama playing a Millanesque dog trainer with a multimedia empire. It will be written and executive-produced by Emily Kapnek, the same woman who tried to get Wilmer a show with The Emancipation of Ernesto, which you don't know about because it never went anywhere.

And why does Wilmer get to do this? Because he's so much like Cesar? After making movies like Fast Food Nation and The Condor, V does know something about working with dogs, but in this case, we'd rather stick with the real thing.
