Even Christie Brinkley wears Spanx.

That's the most illuminating thing I got from "The Talk." Brinkley was the first guest on the premiere episode on the CBS afternoon talk show. Geared toward moms, it's hosted by Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini, Sara Gilbert and Sharon Osbourne. Marissa Jaret Winkour was on there too, but it seems like she's going to be a roving correspondent.

I could give you the recap, but that's not what you want to know. You want to know if it is just a "View" rip-off. Kinda. It's hosted by women.

Other than that, it's not like "The View" because it's toothless, deliberately, I think. Because, you know, it's just about being a mom. 

Because of "Meet the Osbournes," we learned the rock stars may be wild on stage, but at home, they are just like us, except wealthier and wackier.

"Growing Up Twisted" (A&E, 10 tonight) makes the same point with a different family, that of Twisted Sister's Dee Snider. The show features Snider, his wife of 34 years Suzette, and their four kids.

You could say the Snider family is a cross between "Meet the Osbournes" and  "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" (also on A&E). The Sniders are foul-mouthed, like the Osbournes. Suzette is a blonde bombshell like Simmons' former Playboy model partner Shannon Tweed, although while Tweed clothes are mature sexy, Suzette dresses fairly close in style to the 15-year-old hootchie-clad bad girl she must have been when she hooked up with Dee.

If you haven't heard, David Hasselhoff has left NBC's hit, Simon Cowell-produced "America's Got Talent."

He says he's going to work on his own show.

Well, Life & Style Weekly says it knows who the new judge will be: Howie Mandel.

The "Deal or No Deal", the tabloid reports, host will join Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan for the fifth season.
