Grey’s Anatomy’s Katherine Heigl made me laugh when she said “sh*t”, after they called her name as the winner of the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, at Sunday night’s Emmys.
Backstage, Kat revealed to Access Hollywood that it was her mother’s attempt to calm her down – by suggesting that there was no chance her girl would win — which led to the sound-censored — but seen– expletive.
“She’s the biggest supporter of mine in the universe so if she was like, ‘You know what? I love you, I think you deserve it but I don’t think you’re going to get it this year,’ I was like ‘You are right!’ and I totally calmed down and relaxed,” Katherine told Access. “I was like ‘Cool’ and ‘Everything’s fine!’ My heart rate slowed down [then] they said my name and I nearly just sh** myself. So that’s where that came from.”
I love that story. Really down-to-earth, really cool.

Who says “no” to
Oprah Winfrey? Apparently,
Rosie O’ Donnell does.
Oprah wanted to have Rosie on her show to talk about the former View co-host’s new book, Celebrity Detox, but Rosie decided to go a different way.
“She’s doing an interview with Diane Sawyer instead,” a spy for Page Six said. Cindi Berger, Rosie’s rep, said, “Rosie has always been booked with Diane. We gracefully declined Oprah’s offer. I’m sure Rosie will do Oprah’s show another time.”
The book is said to dish about Rosie’s rivals, Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Donald Trump, amongst other things. It’s an interesting choice for Rosie to turn down Ops, considering every book Oprah touched turns to platinum. Then again, you can call Rosie many things, but a sell-out? Never.

As the legal battle for Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline continues, new accusations are flying about the tots’ mom, Britney Spears.
A former bodyguard for Britney, Tony Barretto, was prepared to testify about “issues of nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use and safety issues involving the children” that he witnessed as her bodyguard before she fired him on May 17, said his attorney. But instead of testifying, his written allegations were entered into court as evidence.
Britney’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, strongly denied any drug use by her client. “He isn’t a credible witness,” she said.
Which is all fine and good, except for the fact that Laura quit as Brit’s legal rep just hours later.
“I don’t want anyone to perceive that we’re dumping Britney,” Laura said. “In a lot of attorney-client relationships, there comes a time when some fresh blood is necessary.”
Riiight. Can you say “run for the hills”?

Holy smokes! Weeds star Mary-Louise Parker has added a baby girl to her family. Her reps confirm to People.com that the actress has adopted a daughter from Africa. Mary-Louise, who was nominated for two Emmy awards Sunday night, was spotted with her newest addition over the weekend as they traveled to the show.
“Mary-Louise is such an incredible mom,” says a source. “She couldn’t be happier about this.”
The baby girl will join her new brother, 3-year-old Will, who’s dad is Billy Crudup.
Congrats!

Just your typical day of hard knocks for the Princess of Disaster, Britney Spears. A mere hours after Britney’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, stepped down as her legal representation in the custody battle versus Brit ex Kevin Federline, another of Britney’s staff quit.
Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm, who took Britney on as a client in the beginning of August, has bailed. The management company gave this statement to People.com:
“It saddens us to confirm media reports that we have terminated our professional relationship with Britney Spears. We believe Britney is enormously talented, and has made a terrific record. But current circumstances have prevented us from properly doing our job. We wish Britney the best.”
The statement didn’t say what those circumstances were, but we’re pretty sure it has a tiny bit to do with something called the MTV VMAs.
Britney is, supposedly, extremely difficult to control and takes no advice from anyone. Though, she may want to reconsider — we’ve all seen how well that works out for her.

Remember
Renee Zellweger’s cute lil’ son in
Jerry McGuire? Well,
Tom Cruise’s one-time stepson,
Jonathan Lipnicki, is all
growed up — as they say. Here he is last night at the TV Guide
Emmys post-party.
I like that he’s continued to be creative with his hair… or maybe his Mommy’s still styling it.

Holy crap! The Britney Spears/Kevin Federline divorce case has taken quite the interesting turn. Check this shocker out, courtesy of Entertainment Tonight:
“ET has several reliable sources that the FBI and LAPD are investigating legitimate leads on a contract hit on KEVIN FEDERLINE’s life.
Multiple sources tell ET that the FBI made attempts to contact Federline to inform him of the potential danger.
Sources within the FBI tell ET that this is the bureau’s standard operating procedure when someone’s life is threatened.
ET has been working this story for the past two months. When contacted, the FBI told us that the bureau cannot confirm or deny an investigation.”
Isn’t that nuts? The FBI should look into that crazy, crying Britney fan. Or could it be Britney herself that put this hit out — she does hate him. What do you guys think?
UPDATE: TMZ.com has learned that, though there was an LAPD investigation into the reports of a plot to kill Kevin, the FBI was never involved, and the case was closed almost two months ago due to insufficient evidence.
Which means K-Fed lives on.
