Most divorced couples stay far, far away from each other. Courtney Cox and her ex, David Arquette are doing the complete opposite.

The couple recently separated after 11 years of marriage when rumours of David’s infidelity made headlines. The two have a daughter, Coco, who is now 7. To prove to Coco and everyone else they can still be model parents, they managed to stay friendly and respectful.

David is currently a contestant on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and Courtney has been seen in the audience cheering him on. Cute! I can’t list that many broken-up couples that can still manage to be in the same room together, let alone go on to produce comedy shows.

The pair have sold a sitcom to NBC, according to the Hollywood Reporter. It’s called Ten Years and much like their own lives, it’s the telling of a modern couple going through marital problems. But the work doesn’t stop there!

They’re also in talks to sell another sitcom, Skinny Girl, to ABC. This show follows the life of a former fat girl who’s trying to maintain her weight while working at a greasy diner. It doesn’t sound as interesting or intelligent than Ten Years but if the two manage to sell both sitcoms to both networks, we can expect them to stay side by side for a long time. Maybe even rekindle lost love, later down the road. It’s all about staying together for the kids, right?

ABC has made a formal apology regarding the Nicki Minaj tit slip incident this morning on Good Morning America. Viewers launched complaints regarding the incident, which caused ABC to apology.

“Although we had a five-second delay in place for the Nicki Minaj concert on GMA, the live East Coast feed of the concert regrettably included certain fleeting images of the performer that were taken out of later feeds of the broadcast in other time zones. We are sorry that this occurred,” ABC said in its statement.

Big deal! Her tit popped out. WOW! We want to know who the people are who complained about this. Seriously, what nerd has that much free time on their hands?

Excuse the obscure nature of this post, but in dramatic news, Oprah Winfrey is assuring the world she is not a lesbian to put an end to any swirling rumours about her and longtime gal-pal Gayle King. I’m “not even kind of a lesbian,” the TV host tells Barbara Walters in an ABC interview.

Oprah also comments on her longtime partner since 1986, American businessman Stedman Graham, and how the two are still happily together. While Graham is rarely mentioned, his union with Oprah is widely known.

The Walters-Winfrey special is scheduled to air this Thursday night on ABC, where hopefully many fascinating tidbits are revealed. Perhaps she will admit that one of “Oprah’s Favourite Things” is actually only one of her second favourite things. I’m lookin at you Sarabeth’s Kitchen Jam. Your spreadability was less than ideal.

Sarah Palin was at “Dancing With The Stars” last night showing support for her daughter Bristol, but was surprised by the audience reaction.

“There’s booing in the ballroom,” host Brooke Burke said right before Palin appeared on the live show. “We don’t know why.”

According to E! Online, there was a misunderstanding regarding the booing. “The booing heard was a direct response from the audience to Jennifer [Grey] and Derek [Hough]‘s scores which were perceived as relatively low for a dance that received a standing ovation,” DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells E! Online.

Understandably Sarah looked quite stunned when she heard the booing. She plans to attend the show again soon.

Our boy Levi Johnston has a habit of popping up in places where the Palins don’t want him. Bristol Palin is not taking any chances with her new gig on “Dancing With The Stars,” and is taking steps to ensure Levi is kept out of the audience.

“The last thing in the world Bristol wants is to look up from her cha-cha-cha and see his big goofy grin looking at her,” a family friend tells PopEater. “This is her time to shine and she doesn’t want him trying to steal her spotlight.”

“I wouldn’t put it past him to try and sneak into a taping,” an insider tells PopEater. “The only person that loves the press more than the Palins is Levi himself.”

Security apparently will be very tight on the set so Levi is certainly going to have a tough time raiding the studio.

President Barack Obama appeared on “The View” today where he was quizzed on a variety of topics, including pop culture.

Quizzed by Joy Behar in a “lightening” round, Obama was asked if he knew if Lohan is in jail. “I actually know that, yes,” the President responded.

However, Obama is not a fan of “Jersey Shore” it turns out. “Should Snooki run as mayor of Wasilla?” Behar asked. Obama, laughing, responded, “I gotta admit, I don’t know who Snooki is.”

Obama also discussed that he was up to date on the legal problems of Lindsay Lohan, but did not offer any views about Mel Gibson and whether he needs anger management.

“I … I …,” the President stuttered and then joked, “Let me answer the Afghanistan question!” He informed the panel he “hadn’t seen the tapes.”

Not everyone is happy about Kate Gosselin’s return to “Dancing With the Stars” on May 24 or 25, besides Jon Gosselin.

PopEater reports that sources tell them fellow competitors on the reality show are not looking forward to seeing the reality Mom.

“Everyone, especially Kate’s old dancing partner Tony, are dreading the return of Gosselin to the dance floor,” an insider tells PopEater. “Kate comes with a lot of drama. She’s the only celebrity who insisted on having a bodyguard with her at all times and put the costume department through hell each week. She tortured Tony and you don’t even want to know what she put the show’s hairdressers through! The day Kate was voted off, everyone was celebrating backstage. It’s been a lot less toxic without her.”

With out a doubt, ABC will be happy to see Gosselin return to the show. Like her or not the lady has a lot of star power, and with star power comes great ratings.

However this isn’t the first we have heard problems about Kate Gosselin on set. Let’s not forget Jon Gosselin and his issues. Again this is only further evidence the guy has a point for cheating and divorcing Kate.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation claims ABC is treating Adam Lambert with a double standard, reports E! News.

Following the former American Idol contestant’s controversial performance at the American Music Awards, the network announced it was cancelling three upcoming performances by Lambert. He will not appear as scheduled on Jimmy Kimmel Live or Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve because the network claims his performance at the American Music Awards differed greatly from what was rehearsed. However, Lambert will be performing on The View and will be named one of Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009.

“We appreciate ABC’s commitment to gay and transgender inclusion in other programming,” said Jarrett Barrios, president of GLAAD. “However, let us be clear that GLAAD remains steadfast in our assertion that Adam Lambert is being subjected to a double standard by ABC as an openly gay performer. We do not support ABC cancelling Adam Lambert’s past and future performances. We urge the community to reach out to ABC and express their concerns that Adam Lambert is being subjected to a double standard.”

Lambert has admitted that his performance may have crossed a line.

After Adam Lambert’s scandalous performance at the American Music awards on Sunday, fans and critics everywhere were left wondering what the singer would have to say about himself. Apparently, according to Lambert, no apology is needed.

According to people.com, Lambert admitted to Seacrest that he thinks the adrenaline took control over the performance. “I admit and I’m kind of proud of the fact that I did get a little carried away. I had a good time and I was merely interpreting the lyrics of my song. It wasn’t meant to piss anyone off, it wasn’t meant to hurt anyone or cause any problems,” he elaborated on Seacrest’s website.

The network doesn’t seem to agree with Lambert’s laid-back explanation and lack of apology. After he French-kissed a band member and imitated oral sex, AMB has issued statements specifically clarifying that Lambert will not be performing on its morning program. It subsequently cancelled his Good Morning America performance following an onslaught of complaints about their broadcast.

Lambert holds the view that his actions are no different than what females have been simulating onstage for years. “I do think there’s a slight double standard,” he explained. “I’m a sexual person, and maybe people didn’t see that on American Idol,” he says. “But now… they do.”

Lambert has certainly got his message across, and it has left many wondering what the state of his career will be following the performance. He has received a lot of support via Twitter, showing that the majority of his fans are willing to stick with him through thick and thin, stating that the network is merely homophobic and Lambert was not doing anything wrong.
