Kaiser covered the bigger names at last night’s American Music Awards, but here we have some more fashion for you. To start there’s Jenny McCarthy in purple Victoria Beckham. I would like this dress with some sexy strappy heels, but those booties are too informal for the red carpet. I really like her hair, that sideswept look is so pretty. Jenny’s makeup is a little severe, but it’s not terrible.

Audrina Patridge still working it like it’s 2006. She has a killer body but that’s a dress for Vegas, not an awards show. Look at her ridiculous stripper heels!

Here’s Julie Bowen getting it wrong again in a sparkly stripe tube dress. Her legs look great, I’ll give her that, but she’s looking gaunt otherwise, and that hair! It’s too messy looking.

Mary J. Blige was bizarre in animal print Cavalli. The print on that dress is way too realistic and it has a weird effect on the eye. It’s like she’s wearing a Halloween costume, not a dress. Plus she’s got on huge earrings that don’t really go with the look. Fug.

Katherine Heigl was also in Cavalli, in slightly more flattering plunging chiffon. I swear I can see her implant scar in one of these photos, and that dress just emphasizes how fake her boobs look. Her hair is not cute at all like that, but it’s short now so she probably didn’t know what to do with it. Katherine and her husband, singer Josh Kelley, presented the award for best Favorite Country Album, which went to Taylor Swift.

And Nicki Minaj wore an Oscar de La Renta gown with a lace bodice and lime green bubble skirt. It’s like she’s channeling Lady Gaga with her fashion and Katy Perry with her hair. Minaj took home awards for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album, for “Pink Friday.” I do like her shoes, she picked some nice strappy heels that didn’t overwhelm her already overwhelming outfit. For her, this look is pretty decent.

The National Enquirer ran a story over two years ago that Jenny McCarthy was in talks with Oprah for a talk show deal. It’s wasn’t just The Enquirer, either, The Hollywood Reporter ran a similar story in May, 2009 claiming that McCarthy had “inked a multi-year overall deal with Winfrey’s Harpo Prods. to develop projects on different platforms, including a syndicated talk show that the actress/author would host.” Supporting these stories was a new blog that Jenny started that was hosted on Oprah’s website. Only that was just about the last we heard about a McCarthy Oprah collaboration apart from some rumors.

I was honestly just thinking about this a couple of weeks ago when I wrote about how Neil Patrick Harris might get a talkshow with Oprah. According to Bill Zwecker at the Chicago Sun Times, Jenny’s talks with Oprah stalled and she eventually pulled out of the potential deal. After over two years that sounds pretty reasonable. Zwecker has “a number of sources” who have told him that Jenny is now trying to work with NBC to get something off the ground.

Apparently due to those old “creative differences,” South Side native Jenny McCarthy pulled the plug on her development deal for a talk show on Winfrey’s new network — and reportedly will take the concept to NBC.

Now, I want to stress that the Peacock Network’s representative would not admit any McCarthy tie to NBC, saying only, “We do not comment on projects in development.”

However, a number of sources have confirmed the actress, autism advocate and Mother McAuley High School grad believes her talks with NBC will get her show on the air quickly — and showcased to a far larger audience than she would have had at OWN.

The Winfrey-owned network did issue a curt confirmation that “OWN does not have a show in development with Jenny McCarthy.”

I also understand that Winfrey and her OWN team are deeply disappointed by McCarthy’s impatience with the rate of progress in developing the new program.

“OWN clearly needs a big infusion of compelling programming if it’s going to begin to build a decent-sized audience, but Jenny should have thought twice — or three or four times! — before burning a bridge with Oprah,” said a veteran TV exec, very knowledgeable about OWN, Winfrey’s organizational process and her production team.

[From The Chicago Sun Times]

That’s probably pretty smart of Jenny. Yes no one should burn bridges with The Mighty O, but really how well is OWN going to do? Jenny is better off going to an established network where she’ll have a wider viewership. NBC isn’t very skilled at promoting or giving its best shows a fighting chance, but surely it’s better than OWN. As for how well Jenny will do as a talk show host that remains to be seen. She’s a goof ball with some pretty controversial ideas about healthcare to say the least. She’s entertaining though and she seems to be able to hold her own.

Whenever Jenny McCarthy gets a new boyfriend, it seems the press hears about it. She was with Jim Carrey for years, and then dated some famewhore bodybuilder guy, right around the time her new book came out. She dumped the bodybuilder in December and found a new guy just in time to kiss her at midnight during her gig hosting New Year’s Rocking eve. Jenny may roll these guys out to the press after three dates, but she told Ellen Degeneres that she doesn’t introduce any boyfriends to her son Evan, 7, until after she’s dated them for six months. Good for her. Jenny also explained that she met her new boyfriend on a blind date that her sister set up for her, and that she went through a few duds before she found him.

Ellen: Now, how long have you been seeing Paul?

Jenny: For like, 5 weeks, I think it’s been.

Ellen: What do you mean, “I think?” At that point, you know exactly how many days.

Jenny: Okay, it’s like 36 days and two hours but I decided to import this time because I wasn’t doing a very good job with LA guys. These LA dudes had more make up in
their purse than me. They’d literally pull out their knapsack of concealers and I’m like, it’s time to look outside of LA. I found a boy. I went on some blind dates. He was my 5th blind date.

Ellen: Who set you up on blind dates?

Jenny: I told everyone I know, “Please, I can’t pick them. As a friend, find me a man.” So the first blind dates were these really bizarre dudes that were like, “Do you know Sharon Stone?” And I’m sitting on a date going, “Well, I know of her. I’ve seen her in movies.” “Well, you think you can get an autograph?” I’m like, “Oh my god.”

Ellen: What kind of friend set you up with that guy?

Jenny: Not a very good one. So my sister was the one who turned me on to Paul who’s a sports agent and lives in Boston. His accent is so strong it’s like Good Will Hunting strong that I really can’t understand anything he says to me. He could’ve proposed to me and I could’ve said yes by now and I have no idea. And I’m really happy.

Ellen: So he lives in Boston so you went on a date here or there? He came here?

Jenny: No, we met up in New York. We had a blind date there. You know that movie, “Up in The Air?”

Ellen: That’s what’s happening?

Jenny: We’ve been meeting up in the air in both cities and trying to make it work.

Ellen: So you’re very happy it seems.

Jenny: I am. I feel content. Everybody’s asking me the magic question, “Has he met [son] Evan?” Evan is, by the way, on the strictest VIP meet and greet which is like 6 months. I don’t have guys meeting him on a cycle. That boy is very important to me.

Ellen: Good, because that would be very confusing for him.

Jenny: It would be.

[From The Ellen Degeneres show, received via e-mail]

That’s great that Jenny makes sure a relationship is stable before bringing the new guy around her son. I wonder, though, what she does with Evan while she’s jetting all over the place to meet up with this new guy. She probably has a nanny who can watch Evan at home so it’s not disruptive to him and he can stay in school.

I don’t think Jenny is dating too much for a single mom, as much as she’d probably like us to think she is. She’s trying to find the right guy for her, and that involves getting out there and meeting people. Her mistake isn’t dating, it’s telling the press every time she sleeps with a guy. That’s better than bringing him around as another dad or “uncle” to her son, though. If Kate Hudson followed this rule her son would never meet her boyfriends.

Back in August, Jenny McCarthy rolled out her new boyfriend, Jason Toohey. Media outlets had to search for photos of him – and we found them on his body-building page, where he took to the interwebs to show off his extremely sketchy body. Besides “professional gym rat” and “the founder of Eyedews” (for real), Jason didn’t do much besides be Jenny’s silent boyfriend. After the official People Magazine roll-out, they weren’t even seen together all that often. It just seemed like Jason was Jenny’s “just for now” bone. And now it’s over! SOB.

Just four months into her new relationship, Jenny McCarthy has broken up with boyfriend Jason Toohey, In Touch can exclusively reveal. Blond beauty Jenny, who began dating the Las Vegas-based body builder soon after her shocking split from Jim Carrey, kicked Jason, 35, to the curb after she presented at the American Music Awards on November 21.

“He couldn’t handle her fame and the amount of attention she received, so she ended it,” an insider explains.

A rep for the 38-year-old model mom tells In Touch, “They are on good terms and will remain friends.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

Yeah, my guess is that he could totally handle the amount of fame Jenny got, he just wanted a piece of it too. But, whatever. Now Jenny can roll around in the millions of dollars Jim Carrey gave her and go trolling for strange with Chelsea Handler and Jennifer Aniston. SISTERHOOD.

Jenny McCarthy has been all over the place this week, promoting her new book, Love, Lust and Faking It. She memorably went on Oprah and talked about breaking up with Jim Carrey because it “wasn’t fun anymore.” She also talked about her hairy cooter. Yeah. I actually watched 20 minutes of Oprah’s interview with Jenny and I came out of it… well, I still think Jenny is a vapid a–hole who should seriously consider growing up. But I revise my opinion of her from the other day – I don’t think she’s malicious, and I don’t think she spoke about Jim or their relationship with any sort of meanness. I respected that she made the effort to talk about her responsibility in the breakup, and all of that. So: still a vapid a–hole, but she’s got a few good qualities.

That being said, f-ck me, she grates on my nerves. She did another interview, this time with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. Bush gets her to talk about her dong rules, how horny she is, and how she fantasizes about Brad Pitt peeing on her (I think):

Move over “Cougar Town,” Jenny McCarthy is the real deal. In a new – and quite outrageous– interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush, the uncensored former Playboy Playmate revealed that in her late 30s, she’s feeling sexier – and more lustful — than ever.

“Dispel a myth for men: Do women lust as much as men lust?” Billy asked Jenny in the interview promoting her sexy new book, “Love, Lust & Faking It: The Naked Truth about Sex, Lies, And True Romance.”

“No, you guys! I mean, mind you, as we get older, I’ve noticed, now being 37, I’m much more horny than I was in my 20s,” she said.

“How horny are you – scale of 1-10?” Billy asked.

“I’m about a 9.8,” Jenny laughed, uproariously.

The blonde bombshell didn’t stop there – in her book, she sets the story straight on “man junk”… so Billy asked her the question men really want to know.

“Does size matter?” he probed.

“Size definitely helps, but the thing is, you don’t need big,” she said. “Average is awesome. Standard issue is awesome!”

While Jenny is happy to talk about sex, she revealed she’s been rather prudent on another sexual matter.

“Do you have a sex tape?” Billy asked.

“Oh, I love that question. No I don’t have a sex tape and I’m kind of upset that I don’t. You know why? ‘Cause I’m really good,” she laughed.

Jenny’s book gets into bisexuality, something in which Jenny admits to have dabbled.

“Do you like girls or no?” Billy asked.

“Me being a Playmate? Of course. Being around naked women, something is going to happen,” she revealed. “Yeah, I’ve played around.”

In addition to a host of sexy revelations, Jenny’s book also includes secrets from her dreams – one of which featured Brad Pitt.

“My [dream] night with Brad Pitt in the book is one of the best nights ever,” she said. “He’s just as hot as you think he is; his butt is beautiful and he can pee like a race horse. That’s all I can tell you ‘cause Angelina might be mad.”

[From Access Hollywood]

Are we still finding this kind of junk “naughty”? That’s how Jenny is playing it. Like, “Oooh, I just said ‘penis’! HAHA, I’m in middle school! Hold this pickle!” Also, I’m so over women talking about how great they are in bed. Jenny might be awesome in bed, but unless we’re the guy buying you martinis at the Ramada bar, stop telling people that. Personally, I prefer the opener (for men and women): “I’m horrible in bed. I have issues.” It’s a better conversational gambit, honestly. If (and when) a guy says that to me, I’ll be all “Ooh, tell me!” You get it all out in the open, and if you end up sleeping with the person, you either meet their low expectations or you exceed them. Think about it!

Jenny McCarthy was on Oprah yesterday. While watching the clips I kept getting distracted by how pulled her face looked. It looked like more than just too much Botox or fillers as her cheeks were puffy and her eyes were too high. Jenny is promoting her new book, Love, Lust and Faking it. (It’s rumored that she’s slated to host her own show on Oprah’s network, although I can’t find any official confirmation for that.) On Oprah, she talked in general terms about her relationship with ex Jim Carrey, which we covered Monday. She also told the story about how she earned the October cover of Playboy in 1993 at the age of 21. According to Jenny all she did was show up uninvited at the Playboy offices, get asked to do a bikini photoshoot, and get a callback about an hour later that she was chosen as Miss October. When she finally took off her panties for the photoshoot, she was mortified when the makeup artists and photographers called her the hairiest woman they’ve ever seen. You can watch her describe this in video on Radar Online and a longer clip from Oprah’s website.

During her Tuesday appearance on Oprah, former Playboy cover girl Jenny McCarthy told a hilarious story about her first naked shoot when the magazine’s photographers were shocked at the amount of hair she had “down there!”

Jenny recalled the reaction in the room the first time the crew on hand got a look at her au naturale.

“All of a sudden I hear WOAH, WOAH! And I said is there anything on it? What’s wrong?”

Jenny said the makeup artist came over to her and explained why everyone was so shocked. “They said they never saw anyone as hairy as you in their entire life!” The audience roared as Oprah laughed along with Jenny.

She said there was a discussion with the Playboy staffers and the photographer figured out what to do: “’I say we just light the heck out of it!’” Jenny recalled the photographer saying.

Jenny kept the audience and Oprah in hysterics when she added that the makeup lady used a brush to manicure the region and later exclaimed, “I guess I’m not using this one again!”

[From Radar]

She also described how she came from a Catholic family and was too scared to tell them she was posing nude in Playboy. Instead she sent them on a cruise on the week her magazine cover came out using part of the money she earned. They of course found out anyway but her mother forgave her after a few days.

I usually like Jenny but she’s trying way too hard to be funny and is annoying me here. I can see how she would be too hairy at 21 if she was young and never shaved in that area before. It seems like the Playboy people would have some clippers on hand to groom her ahead of time instead of just brushing it, though. (Here’s a link to the only very NSFW photo I could find from that 1993 pictorial. She doesn’t look that hairy.) Jenny has a book to promote and she’s going to act like a goon and tell outrageous stories. She hasn’t changed much since her Singled Out days after all.

I’m not a big fan of Jenny McCarthy, but I don’t have a rabid dislike for the woman. I know a lot of people feel strongly about her autism activism, but I’ve always kind of seen that as just Jenny being a mother and trying to be a strong, effective advocate for her kid, and the results are both good and bad. Anyway, Jenny is getting her on show on Oprah’s network, and Oprah interviewed Jenny for a show that will air tomorrow. If this is a preview of coming attractions, I want nothing to do with this junk – I really, really, really hate the way Jenny is coming across in this interview. Oprah asks Jenny about her split with Jim Carrey, and Jenny’s reaction is so… ugh. Here are the quotes:

They were all but inseparable starting in early 2007, but by this past April came the news that Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey were going their separate ways.

While others – including Hugh Hefner, a fan of the former couple – speculated on what went wrong, Oprah Winfrey is getting right to the heart of the matter by asking McCarthy herself, “Tell me, when did you know it was over? ”

In her response that airs on Tuesday’s The Oprah Winfrey Show, McCarthy, 37, says, “You know, the simple word I can give – and there’s a few, so let me say a few. The first thing is, when it’s not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship.”

The actress and former Playboy model, who on the program also discusses her new book, Love, Lust and Faking It, also address her image while she was dating funnyman Carrey.

“I’ve learned that,” McCarthy says, “and this is why my identification wasn’t caught up [in] being a celebrity’s … girlfriend.”

“It wasn’t?” asks Winfrey.

“It wasn’t at all,” insists McCarthy, as Winfrey presses her further by asking, “You are sure?”

“Absolutely,” answers McCarthy. “I did check on that, by the way. I checked into myself. How does my ego feel? … My ego’s fine. I’m a warrior mom [to son Evan, 8]. I always got back on my feet, and I know especially this year who I am.”

Once Winfrey accepts McCarthy’s response, the host goes on to say to her guest, “Okay, I’m gonna ask this … Just because I have to … Any chance you’ll get back together, do you think?”

“God, another good question,” replies McCarthy.

“That’s sort of a simple one,” says Winfrey, to which McCarthy says back, “I know. I didn’t even think about that one, though.”

[From People]

“The first thing is, when it’s not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship.” Oh, f-ck you. First of all, a relationship isn’t going to be fun all the time – some days are going to be bad, some days are going to take work. I cannot even express my disgust for a grown, 40-something woman, a mother who allowed and promoted her boyfriend’s relationship with her child, to sit there and whine about how she got out because it wasn’t “fun.” Grow up. And what’s worse is that I actually believed that Jenny had split from Jim for a really good reason – that he had stopped taking his medication, and she couldn’t be a mother to her son and be her boyfriend’s mental health caretaker. There is the possibility that Jenny’s “fun” complaint is a cover for the real reason – but it just feels like she’s really stupid and immature and she’s couldn’t handle the situation when Jim needed her in a way that wasn’t “fun.” Oh, but I guess Jenny got what she wanted in the end – Jim handed over $25 million in a trust for her and for her son, and now Jenny gets to have “fun” with young famewhores with weird stomachs.

This is a kind of heartwarming story about two kooky famous people finding their way back together after a high profile breakup. According to Star Magazine, which has run insider stories on these two in the past, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey are trying to make it work again after splitting up this April. They’ve since each been seen out with other people, but (allegedly) found their way back to each other and may be headed for a reconciliation.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey may be giving love another shot!

She pulled the plug on their nearly five-year-relationship last April, as Star was first to reveal, because his bouts of depression made life with him very difficult at times. But in late August they met up in L.A. — and have been talking almost daily ever since, says a source.

“Jenny has told Jim that she missed him, and he didn’t want to end it in the first place,” an insider tells Star. “Jenny now thinks she may have rushed into breaking up with Jim. He can be hard to deal with, but he can also be so sweet and loving and fun.”

Two possible obstacles to an immediate reconciliation: Jim has been seen out with a stunning brunette, while 37-year-old Jenny — who has gushed about Jim’s deep bond with Evan, her autistic 8-year-old son from a previous marriage — has been dating former fitness model Jason Toohey since June. But the stars are realizing that nothing compares to what they had with each other, says the source. And their loved ones aren’t surprised.

“Jim’s daughter, Jane, had urged Jenny to take him back all along,” says the source. “Everyone in their circles agrees that Jim and Jenny belong together.”

[From Star Magazine]

I hope this is true. I really loved them together and they seemed like such a united team. There were rumors that after their breakup Jim gave Jenny a whopping $25 million to help ensure that she and her son, Evan, were set for life along with providing financing for Jenny to continue her autism advocacy work. Jenny might not really need the money. She has a talkshow coming out on Oprah’s new network, and reports have her earning $3-5 million a year with bonuses for high ratings. We’re about to see a lot more of her, or maybe not if Oprah’s new network ends up being a flop. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is true and that these two are back together.

Yesterday, I covered Jenny McCarthy’s recent comments to Us Weekly, which she made while at a Las Vegas event over the weekend. She was oddly, suspiciously overconfident in describing her new single life, all while showing off her completely jacked, Botoxed face. Anyway, turns out all the happy talk about being a single “girl” was just that, bullsh-t. She’s got a man! His name is Jason Toohey, and he’s a famewhore. How do I know that? Because he’s been posting photos of Jenny on his Facebook, and this whole “relationship” just got rolled out like a film premiere in People Magazine:

Jenny McCarthy has officially moved on.

After she teased on Twitter about dating a “mystery man,” the identity of the actress’s new guy is a mystery no more. His name: Jason Toohey, 35, and he is a Las Vegas resident and former fitness model who has been quietly dating McCarthy for two months.

In fact, things are going so well that the two already live together – temporarily, at least.

“I’ve been living in Vegas for about a month. My house is under construction right now in L.A., so I very well could be here until it’s done,” McCarthy, 37, told PEOPLE at Saturday’s Midsummer Night’s Dream party at Las Vegas’s Palms Casino Resort. “It’s been awesome here.”

While McCarthy didn’t offer any details about Toohey, her rep confirmed to PEOPLE that they were indeed an item.

Still, the two haven’t been exactly shy about their romance, having been spotted on several dates in Las Vegas. They also shared kisses Saturday as McCarthy hosted the Midsummer Night’s Dream bash.

Toohey, who once starred as a pirate in Treasure Island’s Sirens of TI show, is the founder of Eyedews, an under-eye mask treatment. Recently, McCarthy began promoting the product via Twitter and on Las Vegas television.

After her April breakup with longtime boyfriend Jim Carrey, McCarthy says she is focusing on “change and growth.”

“But I feel really good,” she said. “I’m really happy [and] I’m looking forward to the future.”

[From People]

Oh, her rep confirmed that they were an item and nothing else! Then how did People Mag find out so much about him so fast? Could it be that Jason confirmed all of the salient details to People, hm? Anyway, in addition to People’s whitewash (Jason is “the founder of Eyedews, an under-eye mask treatment”?), he’s also on a bodybuilding site with this photo and description: “My name is Jason Toohey I am a male fitness model, actor, and stunt performer. I live in Las Vegas Nv where I perform as a Pirate at the Treasure Island Hotel / Casino.” AND he is the founder of an under-eye treatment?!?

His stomach is creeping me out. Look, I’m not afraid of dudes who are well-built, who take care of themselves and stuff. But whatever is going on around his abdomen is freaking my ass out.

All in all, he seems like maybe he would be fun for a month or two, and then you would get tired of his mouth-breathing, right? So, I hope Jenny hits and quits it.

I still cannot get over how jacked Jenny McCarthy looks in these photos. When I first saw them, I thought it was my imagination, like “Oh, it’s just because her hair is weird” or “maybe it’s just a little Botox” – but she really looked crazy at this Las Vegas event. It’s made me wonder, actually. Remember when Jenny and Jim Carrey split up this past April, and a week later every tabloid was saying that it was because Jim went off his meds? Now I just think that Jenny might be the crazy one, honestly. If she steps out of the house thinking she looks awesome like this, she might have some problems. And to go along with her jacked face, she also has a winning, suspiciously positive attitude:

After parting ways with Jim Carrey four months ago, Jenny McCarthy says she’s still single — and loving it!

“I’m enjoying it tremendously!” McCarthy, 37, told UsMagazine.com of single life at Saturday’s 4th Annual Midsummer Night’s Dream at Palms Pool & Bungalows in Las Vegas.

Her proof: “Look at me in this outfit,” she said of her super-skimpy, cleavage-bearing outfit. “Would I not be hitting this? Come on.”

She added of the daring look: “I have one more year to pull off an outfit like this, so I better hit it while it’s hot.”

As her L.A. house undergoes renovations, McCarthy moved to Sin City from Los Angeles about a month ago with Evan, her 8-year-old son with ex-husband John Asher. “I really love it,” she says of the Nevada gambling capitol. “I was never really a fan of Los Angeles. Coming out [to Las Vegas] believe it or not, I feel more peaceful.”

How does she entertain her little boy in the city? “Evan has seen every single show and he’s gone to every casino, every arcade,” she said. “There really is only so much you can do with a kid.”

[From Us Weekly]

Holy crap, she’s only 37 years old? I thought she was… much older. She really was older, wasn’t she? She shaved her age down at some point, I’m sure. Let me do a little research… no, apparently she’s turning “38” in November. Hmpf. Maybe I was confused because of the Botox? I swear to God, ladies, nothing ages you faster than Botox. Instead of just having some laugh lines and wrinkles, suddenly your ‘Toxed face looks like the puffy, waxy, jacked version of your old face.
