People: True, it’s time for ‘True Tori’ to return
Tori Spelling is willing to go there for a second time.
Lifetime says filming began Thursday on another season of “True Tori.”
On the show, cameras follow Spelling as she works to piece together her marriage after her actor-husband, Dean McDermott, was caught in a cheating scandal late last year.
While McDermott is on the series, “True Tori” focuses on the 41-year-old Spelling.
In an interview earlier this year with the Associated Press for her ABC Family comedy, “Mystery Girls,” Spelling said doing “True Tori” was “a great experience” because it helped get her story out, rather than letting tabloids tell their version.
Minaj shoots for sophistication
Nicki Minaj, who has recently dropped her colorful style for a more natural and sophisticated look, says it’s because she’s more comfortable in her skin.
“I kind of feel now that I look more like my regular old self, like what I look like when I’m at home,” she said in a recent interview. “I think there’s just a little bit more confidence and so I’m like, ‘It is what it is. I am who I am. I look like what I look like.’ I don’t really have to change much of it anymore.”
Minaj’s new look includes her natural black hair color versus the wild and bright wigs she’s worn. At the Fashion Rocks concert Tuesday in Brooklyn, New York, she wore a blazer and skirt that came off like a little black dress.
Onstage, Minaj wore less when performing her rump-shaking hit “Anaconda,” which has peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her other single, “Bang Bang,” with Ariana Grande and Jessie J, is another massive hit, giving the performer two songs in the current Top 5.
If they ever remake ‘Animal House’
Add a new talent to supermodel Kathy Ireland’s portfolio: burping.
A celebrity judge at this year’s Miss America pageant, Ireland was challenged Wednesday night by pageant host Dena Blizzard to reveal an interesting fact about herself that no one knows.
Ireland claimed she could “burp the alphabet.”
Blizzard, a former Miss New Jersey and now a standup comedian, challenged Ireland to do it onstage.
Ireland admitted she really can’t burp the alphabet, but she did let out a loud belch on command from the stage during the second night of preliminary competition.
Blizzard lauded Ireland, saying, “You just made supermodels cool!”
