Nick Cannon 30th Birthday Party Sponsors


Nick Cannon is looking for someone to sponsor his 30th birthday party, tattling squeals tell The New York Post’s Page Six Column.

Reps for Mariah’s Other Half — who also masquerades as host of the TV talent show America’s Got Talent — have sent out a mass email asking corporate sponsors to foot the bill for Cannon’s 30th birthday bashes in New York and Los Angeles next month, Hollywood insiders say. Tinseltown heavyweights like Jay-Z and Beyonce and Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are expected to attend the celebrations and Nick is using his celeb connections to save a little dough as he leaves his twenties in the dust.

“This is an extremely exciting opportunity to sponsor a fun and lavish event? opportunities range from gift bags and signage to tweets and photo ops,” reads the emal, which was sent to more than a dozen major corporations.

In exchange for their sponsorship, Nick promises that companies will receive Tweets and exclusive photographs in recognition of their donation. A $2,500 donation will get sponsors a feature in the gift bag, while an even more generous $15,000 will guarantee “one Tweet,” plus a “mention in all public relations materials,” the email reads. Those prepared to fork over 25,000 smacks will earn the donator the official title of “Host Sponsor,” which includes “three Tweets,” a “right to service out photos,” and a “logo on all collateral.”

Laila Ali Pregnant Again


Laila Ali is expecting her second child with husband Curtis Conway. The former boxing champion and Dancing With The Stars announced her pregnancy in a video message to PEOPLE Magazine on Wednesday.

“I am pregnant again! I’m three months, and I’m so excited, my family is excited,” Ali exclaimed. “I’m hoping it’s a girl this time!”

Laila and Curtis married in July 2007 and already have one son, Curtis Jr., 2.

“Pregnancy isn’t ‘I can eat whatever I want,’ because you have to remember you’re going to be stuck with a lot of that weight afterwards that you need to try to get off. So I don’t recommend ‘grubbing.’ I have cravings all the time, even when I’m not pregnant. I made a strawberry shortcake last night. It was great.”

While Laila is indulging only a few early pregnancy cravings, the athlete is noticing changes in her well-crafted physique much earlier this second time around.

“I’ve noticed I’m putting on weight faster this time, I started showing sooner,” she explains. “Staying fit is a challenge, even if you are a former world-class athlete such as myself, because you just don’t have the energy that you used to have. Also, I have to hold myself back because I want to work harder than I’m able to.”

Ali says her famous father, boxing great Muhammad Ali, is overjoyed about being a grandpa again.

“My dad is an excellent grandfather. He loves kids. He loves to kiss them to death.”

Britney Spears Tribute Was Most-Watched “Glee” Episode Ever


Britneymania hit McKinley High in a big way on Tuesday night’s edition of Glee — and it appears Gleeks and pop stans alike tuned in to make the show’s Britney Spears Tribute the most-watched broadcast of Glee’s

Approximately 13.3 million viewers tuned to watch the singing/dancing cast give their rendition of Brit’s hits — including “Toxic,” “Me Against the Music,” “I’m a Slave 4 U,” “Stronger,” and Spears’ 1998 breakout single “…Baby One More Time” — The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The episode opened with Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) trying to prevent his singing group from channeling the sexy pop icon, instead encouraging them to sing adult contemporary music at a McKinley High School Homecoming assembly. Despite Mr. Schuester’s attempts, New Directions take to the stage with a sexy cabaret-style of “Toxic” with Morrison himself joining in. Series star Heather Morris paid tribute to Brit’s performance of “I’m a Slave 4 U” at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards — complete with a live snake.

The singing superstar tuned into last night’s show –in which she had a brief cameo role — and kept fans up-to-date in a series of posts to her Twitter page before thanking Glee producers for honoring her contributions to the recording industry.

“Getting ready to watch GLEE! I’ll be Tweeting along with the episode… Awww Heather Morris is sooo cute! Brittany S Pearce. Ha! She was so fun to work with and was really sweet in person. John Stamos is still hot! He looks the same as he did on Full House…” Spears wrote.

“Watching …Baby One More Time brings back so many memories! Feels like yesterday… I love this version of Stronger. Artie did a great job. The Glee version of Toxic is amazing! I loved it! Thank you guys SO much for making this happen!”

Samantha Fox lost her curves


Ms Fox, well known for her yummylicious body, had everyone asking, “Where have your curves gone, Samantha? She showed off a very slight frame as she left a TV appearance.

We all remember her for her curvy figure and an impressive bosom that became her bread and butter when she shot to fame as a young girl.


But Samantha Fox looked a shadow of her former self as she left a television studio looking a lot skinnier than in recent years.


The former topless model was snapped leaving the ITV studios in London yesterday having been a guest on the daily chat show, Loose Women. And she looked very tiny, her former curves almost non-existent as she posed for photographers outside the studios.

Tom Arnold Rehab


Tom Arnold’s next starring role? Rehab: Take 2!

Roseanne’s former peen supplier has checked into the world-renowend Betty Ford Clinic in Pasadena for six-weeks of inpatient therapy to help him detox from pain drugs prescribed to him following recent emergency colon surgery.

Over the summer, the True Lies star was secretly for a perforated colon, a painful procedure that forced him to spend a month in the hospital, where his a cocktail of pain pills were used as part of his pain management.

“He spent over a month in the hospital after emergency surgery for a perforated colon. During that time, extensive pain and anti-anxiety meds were administered,” Arnold’s publicist explains. “His doctors advised him to go into a supervised, structured recovery/rehab facility to properly and safely detox from all meds.”

Tom married his fourth bride, Ashley Groussman, last November.

A “sober alcoholic,” Arnold, 51, hasn’t had a drink in 20 years.

Cher Lady Gaga Duet


In news that will be heavenly music to the ears of pop lovers everywhere, The Gossip Hotline is atwitter with buzz that two of the most flamboyant and outre pop songstresses of our time are teaming up to lay down vocals on a collaboration.

Cher/Lady Gaga Duet anyone?

Tattles reportedly tell The National Enquirer (Consider the Source!) that the ladies bonded after meeting for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month. Still sexy at 64, Cher presented Gaga — who at 24, is young enough to be the music luminary’s granddaughter — with the Video of the Year Award. The gals have become fast friends and are toying with the idea of having a Cher feature on Gaga’s eagerly-awaited new album, Born This Way, or performing live together, spywitnesses squeal.

“They are now like mother and daughter,” author Mark Bego, who has penned two books about the “Turn Back Time” singer, tells The Enquirer.“They both take their outlandish fashion sense dead seriously, both have a sense of humour about themselves, and they are both staunch gay rights activists.”

Bristol Palin Bar Investigation


The 19-year-old daughter of conservative Republican Sarah Palin, who is currently competing on the hit ABC celeb-reality show Dancing With the Stars, is at the center of an official investigation after she was caught hobnobbing at an Anchorage, Alaska water hole with pro partner Mark Ballas last Friday night, The Alaska Dispatch is reporting.

Palin’s visit to the Rumrunners Old Towne Bar and Grill has prompted legal troubles for managers of the establishment, who are waiting to hear if they will face fines, liquor license revocation, and/or charges from the Alaska Department of Public Safety. The problem? According to Alaska state law, patrons under the age of 21, are not permitted in a bar without a legal guardian or spouse over the age of 21. At just 19, Bristol is underage and was not legally permitted to be inside the establishment.

State law would also allow a 19-year-old to visit a bar if the establishment is also designated as a restaurant and Young Miss Palin was indeed there to eat. Witnesses say Bristol was seen enjoying some nachos as she happily chatted with Mark, 24. However, state officials are still trying to determine whether or not Bristol had the right to be in the bar.

So much for a night out on the town.

Mallika Sherawat First Actress to Kiss Snake in Movie His


Mallika Sherawat did the unthinkable and won herself many more fans. Hottie Mallika Sherawat was enjoying the company of snakes as she brought real snakes to promote her film Hissss at the ongoing Cannes Film festival.

The always provocative actress turned up with snakes, a python included, at the photocall of her movie ‘Hisss’ (where she plays a snakewoman). And did she have the photogs in a tizzy! She posed with the snakes, had the snakes wrapped around her, and even kissed the snakes!

“In my previous films, I had to kiss – but they were all humans. Here, I was kissing a snake with Jennifer yelling out to me, ‘Mallika, look passionate, you are the naagin’. There were so many retakes and the snake was rubbery, slimy,” Mallika is quoted as saying in an interview.

Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif And Akhsay Kumar In Song ‘WALA WALA’


om the flick Tees Maar Khan. The song has Salman Khan and the movie’s lead stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif dancing to a fun qawwali number where they are engaged in a mock fight.

Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif Steamy Kiss Scene In Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara


Now guess what? Hrithik and Kat have sealed their first onscreen kiss together. It’s learnt that before shooting the kiss during the first schedule in Spain, Zoya sat with her actors and emphasized on how important is the liplock for the scene. And as Hrithik, Kat are two beautiful stars who look great together, it made all the sense to showcase their sizzling chemistry on big screen. It would work wonders for Zoya’s film.

Of course, Zoya Akhtar’s film is likely to benefit from the scene as the duo’s onscreen s=chemistry only goes one step ahead with it. The two stars look smashing together and are likely to steal much attention in the B-town. Considering the importance of the scene,

Katrina’s nod for the sensual scene comes as a complete contradiction to her earlier statement where she proclaimed that she would sign all her future films with no-exposure, no-kissing clause only.

The source adds, “Hrithik and Kat have done a photo shoot in the past. Apart from that, they haven’t interacted a lot socially either, so breaking the ice wasn’t easy, but you wouldn’t believe that if you see the kissing scene.

Unlike some other celebrities, Swift has no complaints about the intense public scrutiny that she is subject to because of her fame.

At her recent performance on 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, Swift debuted the second single - Innocent - from her upcoming album Speak Now.

The lyrics of the song allude to Kanye West's infamous interruption of her acceptance speech at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Referring to the incident, Swift hinted to Fox News that she considered the lyrics of the song Innocent therapeutic.

Speak Now, Swift's third studio album, drops worldwide on October 25.

It comprises 14 tracks, all of them written by Swift.

"I've written all the songs on it about things that have happened over the last two years, and a lot has happened over the last two years. It's been every eventful, a lot of adventures and misadventures," Swift told Fox News. "I have a lot of fun doing this and getting to write songs about what happens in my life, but putting it all out there in your music — all the details — you're taking a chance with that because you are very vulnerable."

Swift plans a world tour in support of the album following its release.

David Beckham Says Hooker Claims Are Slander


David Beckham, 35, has an 11-year marriage history behind him and three sons by his wife Victoria, 36 – Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, from 11 to 5 years old. Did he cheat with prostitutes?

A recent cover that appeared in In Touch Weekly leaves no doubt about it, citing stories of his wild sex romps outside marriage.

It drew an immediate backlash from the famous footballer. First Beckham’s rep assured UsMagazine that the story was “completely untrue and totally ridiculous” and that In Touch Weekly had been informed about it prior to their publishing the offending cover. The rep added that the tabloid was not to expect that it would get away with it.

Last Friday Beckham’s lawyers filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing the magazine of slander and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The accusation is also brought against one Irma Nici, 26, whose statement says that Beckham had sex with her five times in 2007 and she was not the only prostitute he bedded.

In Touch’s comment is expected to appear soon.

According to Us Weekly, the happy couple hosted their vow renewal ceremony at the Beverly Hills home of music producer Irving Azoff, the same location they tied the knot last Sept. 27.

“Lamar has truly made our anniversary more special than I ever could have imagined. The day has been somewhat like a treasure hunt, moving from one surprise to the next. Here’s a pic Malika took after she blindfolded me en route to the first anniversary location. I’m on cloud 9 right now!” Kardashian wrote on her Official Blog after the event.

On Tuesday, Lohan voluntarily checked herself into drug treatment for the fifth time in three years. The decision follows a chaotic summer for the scandal-stained screen star, which saw the once-promising actress jailed twice for violating her DUI-related probation and failing a court-ordered drug test after confessing to using cocaine. The starlet, 24, entered an unidentified rehabilitation center in Southern California late Monday night and is expected to remain there until an Oct. 22 court hearing to determine her punishment for the failed drug test.

She has earlier dated NFL player Reggie Bush, football player Cristiano Ronaldo, pop singer and TV personality Nick Lachey
and singer and actor Ray J. "I feel like I don't need a man, but I'm also such a hopeless romantic. I really think that having someone makes everything more entertaining," the Daily Telegraph quoted Kardashian as saying.


"I'm happily single and having fun. But I think everybody can make time for someone they really like," she told UK magazine More! I'm dating or I'm trying to. I just want to keep it a bit quieter and move
private than previous relationships. "I would just take falling in love a bit slower these days. And I've got so much more going on, being single means I can concentrate more on myself," added Kardashian.

Rod Stewart Wedding Suit Lawsuit


Rod Stewart is being sued for not ponying over $7,500 for the tuxedo he wore to his 2007 wedding to wife Penny Lancaster.

On Monday, designer Karen Mathews filed papers in Los Angeles Small Claims Court alleging that the “Maggie May” rocker — who is expecting his second child with Penny early next year — ordered custom-made clothes for several events in 2007 but never paid for them.

“The clothes were never paid for in full and [Rod] kept the rest of the clothes without ever returning what hadn’t been paid for,” says a spokesperson for Matthews, who has been designing threads for celebs for more than 30 years.

A rep for Stewart, on the other hand, claims the musician shouldn’t have to foot the bill for the fashions — his wedding suit in particular — because the quality was “unsatisfactory” and left much to be desired.

“It wasn’t produced on time and was ill-fitting and totally unusable. He had to buy a proper suit at the last minute,” says Rod’s spokesperson.

Over the course of his career, Rod, 65, has been accused of being frugal with his millions. His son Sean once labeled him “cheap,” while Ronnie Wood — who played with Rod with the band the Faces – has previously described him as “tighter than two coats of paint.”

A court date in the suit case is set for November.

The dance and pop-infused disc is flanked by the singles “What’s My Name?” and the Stargate-penned and produced “Only Girl (In the World).” The latter is currently No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Alex Da Kid — the producer/songwriter behind Eminem’s current No. 1 “Love the Way You Lie,” which features Ri-Ri — confessed that the material that makes up Rihanna’s Loud is “like a mixture of her two sides. It’s commercial, but at the same time it’s got an edge to it — it has substance.”

Ali Lohan is grabbing headlines


Even as elder sister Lindsay Lohan faces another stint in jail, 16-year-old Ali Lohan is grabbing headlines with a racy new advertisement where she models a series of revealing outfits. Ali posed in a series of outfits from her sister’s clothing line ‘6126′, including cleavage baring frocks and sheer dresses. The teenager has shocked fans with her very adult photoshoot and she looks much older than her years in the outfits, reported Daily Mail online. The line is inspired by Marilyn Monroe and “salutes modern women who understand that confidence can be bewitching and classic sophistication is always in vogue”. Lindsay meanwhile is due back in court today to answer to charges she broke her probation by testing positive for cocaine. Judge Elden Fox could schedule a formal probation revocation hearing 30 days from tomorrow. If Judge Fox decides to go that route he could order the ‘Mean Girls’ star to go to jail immediately and stay there until the formal hearing. However, if she is sentenced to 30 days on Friday she could end up serving no time at all due to jail overcrowding.

Bono charity faces fraud charges


Rock philanthropist Bono, the frontman of U2, has come under attack after it was revealed that his anti-poverty foundation ‘ONE’ gives only one percent of it’s funds to charity.The non-profit organisation set up by the Irish rock icon received almost 15 million in donations in 2008 but handed out only 190,000 to good causes, reported New York Post. More than 50 percent of the funds, went towards paying salaries and ONE is now facing allegations of mismanagement and fraud. In the UK, the organisation laid on a series of high-profile, celebrity-supported events since it launched in 2002 to fight poverty in Africa and Aids worldwide. ONE spokesman Oliver Buston has defended the way the organisation is run, insisting the money is used for promoting its campaign and raising awareness rather than being given straight to those who need help. “We don’t provide programmes on the ground. We’re an advocacy and campaigning organisation,” said Buston. Another spokesman in New York today dismissed the notion of lavish salaries being paid to its 120 members of staff and said the organisation was highly efficient in its raising of awareness.

David And Victoria Beckham's Marriage At Stake


Victoria and David Beckham’s relationship is going through a crucial phase since rumors emerged that David slept with a prostitute.

Though David has denied that the claims are true yet Victoria is said to be finding the allegations stressful.

Knowing that David and Victoria are not just husband and wife, they’re multi-million pound brand and the rumors could really ruin them, "They may be trying to put a brave face on this but they're really suffering and are trying to hold things together for the sake of the kids."

With New York Fashion week going on in the background, it was really hard for Victoria to concentrate; she couldn’t sleep properly and desperately struggled to hide the huge dark circle under her eyes at the show.

Despite their efforts to remain calm and hold things together, it’ll take a huge toll on their marriage and their brand.

Judge Slams Case against Anna Nicole Smith Doctors, Howard K Stern


The Judge in the case has told prosecutors that the evidence presented by them didn't support their case against Howard K Stern and Anna Nicole Smith doctors Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry termed the case "kitchen-sink prosecution" in which charges were thrown "against these defendants in the hope something survives."

Stern, 41, Anna Nicole's lawyer and long term companion, Kapoor, 41, a doctor who specializes in internal and geriatric medicine, and Eroshevich, 61, a psychiatrist, are accused of conspiring to illegally provide the former Playboy model with prescription drugs before she died.

The Judge termed the prosecutors "overzealous" and opined they "appeared to be winning above fairness."

They were building their charges on evidence that didn't connect.

"It seems that the prosecution is saying, 'Look at all the drugs she took…these people are guilty."

"So, the prosecution had a dead celebrity and a lot of low-level misdemeanors."

Closing arguments in the case will be presented on Thursday.

The judge will consider a defense motion to toss some of the 11 felony counts before giving jury instructions on deliberations, expected to start next week.

Salman Khan to Build One School a Year for As Long As He Lives


Salman Khan has vowed to help Mumbai based Professor Sandeep Desai build schools for the poor with an astounding commitment that's a measure of the actor's generosity.

The large hearted and sometimes impulsive actor's commitment should put to shame the mightiest and the richest in our country.

After initially committing to match donations from his fans towards Desai's quest to build rural schools, Salman boldly committed to make one school every year for as long as he lives.

"I shall make sure that I vil make 1 school fr him every year till the time I am here . So plz don't stress guy's . Lv u n thank u guy's" Salman tweeted AM hours on September 28.

Salman got involved in Desai's unique mission after he read a TOI news story on the professor recently.

Desai, is a former engineer who used to teach at the S P Jain Institute of Management and Research. He quit his job in 1997 to start an English medium school for children from Goregaon slums.

Desai is currently in the process of building a second similar school for poor rural children in Ratnagiri, but he has run out of funds.

He now spends six hours every day seeking donations from commuters travelling on the Chruchgate - Goregaon local train.

Having read about the professor, Salman urged his fans to donate whatever they could afford and posted the bank account number of Desai's charity on Twitter.

"let me kno hw much u hv donate. I vil put in sm too but u do it only if u hv it, no stress at all haan.thanx" he tweeted to his fans.

Salman clarified that he is not seeking donations for charity Being Human.

"This is not 4 the Being Human charity this is about being human. This is Prof sandeep desai's charity 4 the rural school he wants to build"

Shahid Kapoor in Mira Nair's Next


Shahid Kapoor will reportedly play lead in a Mira Nair film based on Mohsin Hamid's second novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist.

Having devoted 2010 exclusively to Mausam, his father Pankaj Kapoor's directorial debut, Shahid has been on the lookout for promising projects for 2011.

He is reported to have given a nod for Sajid Nadiadwala productions' next, tentatively titled Heer Ranjha, but there is no official confirmation. Besides, Shahid recently told his Twitter fans that he plans to rebound in 2011 doing three films!

According to a Mumbai Mirror source, "Mira has already met Shahid. The actor loves the script."

Two are reportedly working on the formalities with an aim to start production early next year.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist is set in an outdoor Lahore café with the protagonist, a bearded Pakistani man called Changez (the Urdu name for Genghis), reminiscing to a nervous American stranger about how he fell in love with America, but eventually abandoned it.

Changez was a top Princeton graduate. He was hand-picked by a top New York valuation firm Underwood Samson and he lived the American dream to the full until 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Mira reportedly believes Shahid has the intensity required to play the role of Changez.

Kangana Ranaut: Ethnic Charm at Knock Out Music Launch

Miley Cyrus Stays Cool in Lace Shorts


Miley Cyrus flaunted her long and toned legs dressed in black lace shorts and blazer leaving Newsroom cafe on September 28.

Either she was trying to stay cool, or look hot enough to make us forget the oppressive heat - we are not quite sure.

The 17-year-old's attire for the late lunch - short shorts, white tank and blazer - was certainly intriguing.

Miley accessorized with black John Lennon style sunglasses, three necklaces - one of them reaching her thighs - a chunky ring on her left hand middle finger, black booties, and a shoulder bag with charm embellishments on the shoulder strap.

Her shoulder length hair framed her face.

Miley, who recently wrapped filming for L.O.L. in Paris, was reportedly meeting the producer of So Undercover, the film she recently signed up for.

The Allan Loeb and Steven Pearl written film will be directed by Tom Vaughan. Filming will begin this fall.

Snooki Need Rehab


Poor taste in fashion and a soft spot for muscular “juicers” may be the least of Snooki’s problems.

Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi insists recent reports claiming that she fell critically-ill after being diagnosed with alcohol poisoning last May are categorically-false, but informants with noses for news say Snooks “Bring Your Own Keg” attitude is out of control and has the diminutive reality tart just a hop, skip, and jump away from a stint in rehab.

Paging Dr. Drew….

MTV producers are torn, one insider told The Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday. While show bosses recognize that Snooki has all of the tell-tale signs of becoming a future cardbord box-dwelling boozer, they’re not ready to let the outspoken guidette bid farewell to Seaside Heights for a six-week stint at The Betty Ford Clinic.

After all, sober or sloshed, the girl’s a ratings goldmine. And Snooks drunkeness makes for good television, MTV argues. Just check out the public reaction that followed the former student’s arrest for disorderly conduct last month. Sending her to rehab — particularly during taping — could tame the show’s tawdry appeal.

”While this is reality TV and pretty much anything goes, other members of the cast and show staffers are very concerned about Snooki — want her to get some serious counseling, if not total rehab. The problem is, this is contradictory to what makes ‘Jersey Shore’ fun. It’s all about wild partying, and there’s lots of drinking. You can’t suddenly mix in a serious element and add a ‘Celebrity Rehab’ angle. … Even though she needs help, that won’t be part of the show — at least for now…”

Lindsay Lohan Is Bailed out of Jail – Again


This time it could have been different for Lindsay Lohan – longer than 15 hours that she actually spent inside. But, as things stand, she walked out of jail close to midnight on Friday upon posting bail.

It could have been longer than 15 days, for earlier that day Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox, following Lohan’s admission to failing a court-ordered drug test ruled that she remain in custody up to her probation hearing scheduled for October 22.

The actress’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, was quick with an appeal stating that a conviction of misdemeanors makes Lohan entitled to bail and Judge Fox’s decision should be overruled. Talking to UsMagazine Holley said that the case was clear and the actress was sure to be bailed out.

Accordingly Assistant Supervising Judge for L.A.’s criminal courts Judge Patricia Schnegg agreed later Friday that Lohan can leave the regional Detention Center upon posting a bail of $300,000 with a further injunction to steer clear of places that primarily sell alcohol. Besides, she was ordered to wear a SCRAM bracelet for the third time within this year.

Katy Perry too risque for Sesame Street


Popstar Katy Perry’s much talked about ‘Sesame Street’ cameo has been chopped after producers of the cult children’s show received complaints about her risque outfit. The complaints flooded in after the release of a trailer which showed the 25-year-old chasing beloved character Elmo around a cartoon set to a child-friendly version of her hit ‘Hot n Cold’. But her lime green bustier dress prompted the ire of viewers on YouTube and now producers of the show have decided not to run the clip on the children’s show which is an American institution, reported New York Post online.
