Britney talks about babies, home life
NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Newlywed pop star Britney Spears has posted a message on the Internet that adds fuel to rumors she's pregnant.
The young diva says on her subscription-only Web site she "can't wait" to have a baby, MSNBC reports.
"A lot of people think you should wait till you're older to have kids," Spears writes in the message. "I've had a career since I was 16, have traveled around the world and back and even kissed Madonna! The only thing I haven't done so far is experience the closest thing to God and that's having a baby."
She also says mothers should stay at home with their children and "not rely on nannies."
'Cheers' star Shelley Long overdoses
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Actress Shelley Long was hospitalized for a week in Los Angeles after taking an overdose of painkillers, the New York Post reported Friday.
Friends of Long speculate the 55-year-old "Cheers" star, depressed over the breakup of her marriage last year, took the pills in an apparent suicide attempt. Long, who played waitress Diane Chambers in the hit sitcom, was admitted to UCLA Medical Center Nov. 16 and released Tuesday, her mother said.
She fell into depression after her husband of 22 years, securities broker Bruce Tyson, left her. The couple is in the process of a divorce and Long is now living alone after moving out of their Hollywood mansion when it was sold.
Long, who won an Emmy and two Golden Globes for her work in "Cheers," left the show in 1987, six years before its last episode. She starred in several movies since then but never reached the level of success she enjoyed in her "Cheers" role.
Model accuses 'Price is Right' producer
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- A former model on "The Price is Right" claims she was fired after she filed a sexual harassment complaint, Celebrity Justice reported Friday.
Claudia Jordan said Phil Wayne Rossi, a former producer of the show, grabbed her buttocks and made sexual comments to her.
"I was in the mirror one day doing my makeup and my supervisor came behind me, Phil Rossi," Jordan said. "And he put his hand on my butt, and he whispered in my ear 'nice butt.'"
Jordan, who is black, also says she was the subject of racial discrimination.
"You know comments like, 'Stand between the two white models,' and 'Make it a reverse Oreo,' and it was all funny to them, but they were used to doing it," she said.
Jordan emphasizes show host Bob Barker did not grab her or sexually harass her, but says Barker's role of executive producer makes him responsible for what happened.
For years women have filed a variety of harassment and wrongful-termination claims against Barker and the "Price is Right."
Playboy seeks shots of 'Housewives' star
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Playboy magazine is looking for nude photos of "Desperate Housewives" star Nicolette Sheridan, the New York Post reported Friday.
The magazine was in talks with Sheridan's former boyfriend about nude photos he took of her 10 years ago, but then dropped its bid after telling him it had found other such photos of her elsewhere.
"We were made aware of the old pictures and we are not using them," a Playboy spokesperson told the Post. "We don't have any other nude photos of her." The magazine is reportedly trying to coax Sheridan's people into letting her pose nude for a Playboy layout.
