Unfortunately, we don't expect to hear anything from them until like maybe a week before the show starts. So, these rumor reports are all we have to go on to provide any sort of insight until CBS or the Big brother producers decide to chime in with anything. With that said, this latest rumor comes from the folks over at Radaronline.com. After they reported this latest rumor, a ton of other media outlets jumped on board. They're claiming that former MTV "Jersey Shore" reality star Sammi Giancola is rumored to have joined the cast. Her nickname was "Sweetheart" on Jersey Shore. We don't know exactly why she was given that nickname. It might have been because she was...

We all know Barbara Walters for serious journalism, but it turns out the former "20/20" host had a lighter side, too -- even before she joined the women of "The View."
Don't believe us? Check out this clip from a 1991 interview she conducted with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yes, the Ninja Turtles; Donatello, Michelangelo, and the rest of the gang. (Scroll down to watch.)
(Yes, we know this clip has been around for a long time, but it just seemed wrong not to share.)
"We take you to an abandoned subway station under the streets of New York," she narrates at the beginning of "The Barbara Walters Special" segment.
But her seemingly serious introduction takes a turn for the unexpected when the camera pans from the set's grimy exterior to the Ninja Turtles sitting on the couch.
As amusing as this interview might seem, the characters were among Walters' least favorite interview subjects,...

Mo'Nique would not be upset if her husband cheated on her. The 'Precious' actress - who has been married to Sidney Hicks for the past 25 years - claims they have an open relationship which wouldn't be destroyed if he were to have an affair. Speaking on the Oscar night edition of 'The Barbara Walters Special', she said: "Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That's not a deal-breaker. That's not something that would make us say, 'pack your things and let's end the marriage.' " The 42-year-old star - who is favourite to win Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars on Sunday night (07.03.10) - said it was because she had been with Sidney so...

Toronto -- Canada may not own the medals podium at the 2010 Vancouver Games, but the country's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium owns the couch.
Through 13 Olympic nights, not even Fox's "American Idol" can match the primetime drama of the Winter Games that continue to dominate Canadian TV screens leading up to the closing ceremony Sunday night.
Ratings gold for the CTV-led consortium providing Games coverage here have instead pushed popular U.S. series such as Fox's "House" and "The Simpsons" and ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives," many in repeat episodes, off their perennial primetime perch, according to Bbm Canada data.
With the Canada-u.S. hockey rivalry looming large in the Olympic coverage, the 10.6 million average total viewers that tuned in Sunday night (Feb. 21) to watch the Americans beat Canada 5-3 in a preliminary round easily trounced "Cleveland" with 627,000 total viewers and "Brothers and Sisters" with 618,000 viewers on Global Television.

Walters to step down from '20/20'
Barbara Walters will step down as co-anchor of 20/20 in September after 25 years at the helm of the ABC newsmagazine show. ABC on Sunday announced on ABCNews.com that Walters had asked for an early release from her contractual obligation. ABC News said Walters would shift to producing more primetime news specials for the network in addition to delivering her signature Barbara Walters Specials. Walters also will continue as co-host and executive producer of ABC's popular daytime chat show The View, which she launched in 1997. "Starting in September, I want to have more flexibility in my life without the responsibilities of a weekly newsmagazine," Walters said in a statement. " '20/20' has been an integral part of my life and a major focus of my work." Walters has co-anchored 20/20 since its inception in 1979. She has worked alongside John Stossel for the past year. Her original co-anchor Hugh Downs retired in 1999. An ABC News spokesman said the network would take its time in selecting a new co-anchor for the show because Walters will not depart for another eight months. "My admiration for Barbara and her contributions to ABC News and our national conversation cannot be overstated," said Bob Iger, president of ABC parent Walt Disney Co. Walters became the first woman to anchor a nightly news broadcast on one of the Big Three networks when she joined ABC News in 1976 following a 13-year run on NBC's Today.

Lost at Home did its best for ABC in its premiere Tuesday but the night belonged to Fox's American Idol and 24. ABC's Lost at Home, a domestic comedy starring Mitch Rouse as a harried workaholic father who is trying to reconnect with his family, bowed at 9:30 p.m. to an average of 8.4 million viewers and 3.9 rating/10 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. The sitcom held the lion's share of its 9 p.m. lead-in, According to Jim (9.2 million, 4.2/10 in adults 18-49), but it was overshadowed in the demo by Fox's 24 (12.6 million, 6.3/16) and placed third behind 24 and CBS' The Guardian (10.7 million, 2.4/6) in total viewers. NBC, meanwhile, saw its Tuesday tentpole Frasier (9.1 million, 3.5/9) slip to near record-low ratings for an original episode. It didn't help that NBC's 8 p.m. Three Stooges Anniversary special opened the night for the peacock in fourth place with an average of 8.7 million viewers and 2.9/8 in adults 18-49. At 10 p.m., ABC finally aired its Barbara Walters Special (8 million, 3.3/9) which was delayed from its usual Oscar night telecast because of the network's war-related news coverage that night (March 23). Needless to say, the special didn't generate nearly the numbers it would have had it aired in conjunction with the Academy Awards telecast -- it fell behind CBS' Judging Amy (12.1 million, 3.3/9) in total viewers. As usual, Fox's American Idol (21.1 million, 9.5/25) was the dominant program of the night, fueling the network's win with an average of 16.9 million viewers and 7.9/20 in adults 18-49. ABC placed second for the night in adults 18-49 (3.6/9) while CBS was No. 2 in viewers (11.5 million).
