  Self-Love Trifecta: Oprah the person talks about Oprah the show in Oprah the magazine

  Meaghan Murphy | 

  

  After 25 years of hosting her daytime gabfest, Oprah is taking a long round of applause.

  From herself.

  In a self-love trifecta, Oprah the person is talking about Oprah the show  on not one, but two covers of Oprah the magazine’s June issue.

  The first cover will show a contemporary, wizened Oprah, while the second will show Oprah on the set of her first national show way back in 1986.

  Inside, Oprah is interviewed by her best friend.

  “The first few years when the staff was still less than 12 people, I used to hang out with them because we were doing live shows, and we’d be done by 10 a.m.,” Oprah tells Gayle King of the show’s early days. “We had four people in four chairs, and that was it. Those were the days where I’d be the one taking the lunch order. I would walk around asking, ‘Okay, is it gonna be Taco Bell today, or are we doing Wendy’s?’ And then we’d go out and party at night.”

  June 8: Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, at left, and Snooki arrive at Logo Network's Third Annual NewNowNext Awards.

  Mike “Situation” Sorrentino’s situation isn’t exactly situated.

  A spokesperson for MTV announced last week that Sorrentino signed a “series-development deal” with the network and is filming a pilot episode later this year.

  On Wednesday, the greased-up “Jersey Shore” star excitedly tweeted, “AMAZING NEWS AND IM SO HAPPY ABOUT MY NEW #MTV SHOW!”

  But is the ab-tastic star getting ahead of himself?

  Rush to get Pippa Middleton's topless photos taken off the market; family feels 'betrayed'

  Meaghan Murphy | 

  

  21st Century Rule of Thumb: If your sister is planning on marrying future King of England, don’t pose for potentially embarrassing pics, or take your clothes off in public.

  Ever.

  That’s the lesson Pippa, and her brother James, Middleton are learning after “friends” have sold compromising snaps of the siblings in various states of undress, including new topless pics of Pippa taken while she was swimming.

  “The whole family is furious at what they see as a betrayal,” a friend of the Middletons told the U.K.’s Telegraph newspaper.

  HOT SHOTS: Pippa Middleton.

  The Middletons have scrambled to quash the distribution of several racy photos, which also include a shot of Pippa partying in a lavender bra with a boxer-clad friend.

  Bieber blasts back at "CSI" star Marg Helgenberger after she calls him 'a brat'

  Meaghan Murphy | 

  

  Don’t cross Justin Bieber, or he may accuse you of being “kind of lame.”

  That’s the lesson Marg Heigenberger learned after “The Biebs” blasted back after the “CSI” star called him a “brat” during a French radio interview last week.

  “Justin Bieber wasn’t bad,” Heigenberger explained of her 17-year old costar. “He had never acted before. I shouldn’t be saying this, but he’s kind of a brat. He was actually very nice to me, but he locked one of the producers in the closet. And he put his fist through a cake that was on the table.”

  “It’s kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you,” Bieber Tweeted Monday. “I will continue to wish them luck and be kind.”

  Pippa Middleton's porn proposal latest in list of requests for world's new 'It Girl'

  Meaghan Murphy | 

  

  Fresh-faced English beauty Philippa Charlotte “Pippa” Middleton has an opportunity to take a break from her life of mingling with the monarchy to film a sex scene in a studio somewhere in the San Fernando Valley.

  The Duchess of Cambridge’s little sister received an offer of $5,000,000 from Vivid Entertainment’s Steven Hirsch to do just one X-rated scene, TMZ reported.

  “As far as I’m concerned, you were the star of the recent Royal Wedding,” Hirsch wrote to the 27-year old. “As I watched a broadcast of the event, I couldn’t help but think that with your beauty and attitude, you could be an enormously successful adult star.”

  The world’s most famous maid of honor captured the interest of male admirers when she wore a form-fitting dress created by Sarah Burton to the royal wedding. Even best man Prince Harry seemed captivated by her charms, openly flirting with his common sister in-law on the big day.

  Perhaps that is because despite hobnobbing with royalty, the future Queen of England’s sister has a wild side.

  Johnny Depp wants Tonto to boss around the Lone Ranger

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  Maybe they’ll call it “Tonto’s Revenge”?

  Actor Johnny Depp, who is developing the movie version of “The Lone Ranger” with his “Pirates of the Caribbean” director Gore Verbinski, wants someone other than the guy wearing a white hat calling the shots.

  “I remember watching it as a kid, with Jay Silverheels and Clayton Moore, and going: ‘Why is the f***ing Lone Ranger telling Tonto what to do?’” Depp told Entertainment Weekly about the durable black & white Western TV series that ran in reruns well through the 70s.

  “I liked Tonto, even at that tender age, and knew Tonto was getting the unpleasant end of the stick here.”

  ABC censors Usama bin Laden Joke on 'Happy Endings'

  Meaghan Murphy | 

  

  ABC’s new comedy, “Happy Endings,” usually deals with a group of loft-dwelling twentysomethings—not politics—but on last night’s episode, “Of Mice and Jazz-Kwon Do,” ABC’s standards and practices awkwardly cut a joke about Usama bin Laden.

  The episode taped weeks ago, long before there was any hint of the mission to kill of the Al Qaeda leader.

  Elisha Cuthbert’s character is having trouble with a pesky mouse that has invaded her apartment, and Zack Knighton compares the rodent to a “Bin Laden.”

  Lady Gaga's 'Judas' video is 'a mess,' Catholics say

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  Following weeks of anticipation over her controversial single “Judas,” Lady Gaga released the video Thursday.

  In the video, which leaked a few hours premature of its intended premiere, Gaga plays Mary Magdalene in a motorcycle gang of apostles led by Jesus, played by “Old School” actor Rick Gonzalez.

  With their names emblazoned on the backs of bejeweled leather jackets, the apostle gang heads to a dance party at “Electric Chapel,” where it’s apparent that Judas, played by actor Norman Reedus, is ready for trouble.
