Tony Danza Heads to Philadelphia to Teach


Who’s the Boss? meets Head of the Class? Maybe.

Actor Tony Danza is heading to Philadelphia to shoot A&E’s new reality show Teach at Northeast High School, PEOPLE confirms.
The city’s School Reform Commission voted 3-1 Wednesday to approve the filming of 13 episodes of the show, which will document Danza as he co-teaches 10th grade English with a certified teacher, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Danza will also help out with the prom and school plays.

Danza originally shot the pilot of the show in Yonkers, N.Y., but the city’s school board vetoed future episodes, so production moved to Philadelphia.

“[I am] humbled, honored and so grateful that the City of Philadelphia has decided to let us try this,” Danza said in a statement. “I have always wanted to teach, so this is a gift for me. I will work hard to make sure I don’t let anyone down, especially the kids.”

Philadelphia schools Superintendent Arlene Ackerman also released a statement, saying, “This important project will help illuminate the joy, rewards and challenges of one of the most gratifying professions available, a first-year teacher in the city of Philadelphia.”

Paula: I Will NOT Return To 'Idol'


IT'S final. Paula Abdul, who quit "American Idol" a couple of weeks ago but then negotiated to try to get back on, won't be appearing as a judge on the top-rated show. She tweeted on Tuesday night, "with sadness in my heart, I've decided not to re turn."

I don't know about you but I'm beginning to get dizzy with all of this back and forth nonsense. Producers of American Idol. Pay Paula what she was originally asking and be done with it! She's worth the $ and you know it.

Manhunt for Reality Star Focuses on Canadian Border


Talk about a HOT MESS. I thought this guy looked WAY to weird for words when I watched the last few episodes of Megan Wants a Millionaire. I'm still wondering why I even started watching it in the first place but forgive me this minor transgression of the mind. At this time, the police search for reality-TV star Ryan Alexander Jenkins, labeled a "person of interest" in the Los Angeles-area murder of his swimsuit-model wife Jasmine Fiore, has focused on the Washington state-Canadian border.

Jenkins, a contestant on Megan Wants a Millionaire and I Love Money 3 (and a successful real-estate developer), "was the last person seen with the victim when she was still alive," said Buena Park, Calif., police Lt. Gary Worrall. Jenkins, 32, was also the one who reported his wife missing.

"That's suspicious to us," said Worrell, noting that after contacting police Jenkins is now nowhere to be found.

Over the weekend, the remains of the 5' 3" Fiore, 28, were discovered folded into a suitcase in a trash receptacle in Buena Park.

Jenkins is due in court on Dec. 18 for a misdemeanor charge of "battery constituting domestic violence" against his wife stemming from an April incident in Las Vegas, according to documents viewed by the Herald. The Orange County Register reported at the time that Jenkins was arrested and charged with allegedly striking Fiore "in the arm with his fist."

The Herald also reports that in January 2007 Jenkins received a conditional discharge and 15 months probation for a July 2005 assault of a woman in Calgary. Court documents reveals that he was ordered to undergo psychological counseling for domestic violence and attend outpatient treatment for sex addiction.

He was also restrained from contacting the victim, who reportedly was his girlfriend.

Octomom Bashes Gosselin's Tummy Tuck


During last night's episode of 'Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage',Nadya Suleman took a gratuitous verbal slap at Kate Gosselin. She criticized the 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' star for getting a tummy tuck after having her sextuplets. "I feel like it's cheating [to get a tummy-tuck]. It's her choice. If she has enough money to fix herself, let her... I have a better shape, though. I'm sorry, no offense to her." Watch the video after the jump!
