YouTube Divorce Lady Officially Divorced; Omarosa versus Wendy Williams on TV
ANDERSON: On SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, a shocking decision for the wacky YouTube divorce lady. Tonight, a judge rules in this bizarre split. Will Tricia Walsh-Smith be kicked out of her apartment? Will she get any money and will she ever stop making these ridiculous videos?</s>SAVAGE: I`ll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it`s a brat who hasn`t been told to cut the act out.</s>ANDERSON: Savage outrage. Tonight, the explosive words about a devastating disability from one of the most popular talk radio hosts around. Should Michael Savage be fired? Tonight, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT with the autism outrage that`s spreading to Hollywood.</s>OMAROSA, VILLAIN ON "THE APPRENTICE": Wait, wait, wait, wait.</s>WENDY WILLIAMS, HOST, "THE WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW": What?</s>OMAROSA: You said you were going to straighten me out? What the hell was that?</s>WILLIAMS: I said smooth you out.</s>OMAROSA: What does that mean?</s>WILLIAMS: We`re going to talk and have a nice conversation, Omarosa.</s>OMAROSA: Oh, no. I know how to chill.</s>WILLIAMS: OK.</s>OMAROSA: But I will not be disrespected.</s>WILLIAMS: OK. We`re going to talk about the book.</s>OMAROSA: All right. Let`s get to it, Wendy. Oh, don`t. I host my own show.</s>WILLIAMS: I want to look at it and show it to</s>ANDERSON: Michael, at one point, it looked like Wendy was just going to slap Omarosa silly, didn`t it?</s>MICHAEL MUSTO, ENTERTAINMENT COLUMNIST, "THE VILLAGE VOICE": Yes, this was like a "Celebrity Death Match." It was "Alien Versus Predator" and I actually loved it. You don`t want to mess with either one of these women in a dark alley or on a TV show. But I`m with Wendy here, Brooke. I mean, Omarosa is proving here that she needs to be smoothed out a little bit. She really needs to hear "you`re fired" once again. Or maybe just "you`re tired".</s>ANDERSON: "You`re tired." That`s a good one. Well, I think Omarosa finds a little sport in stirring up controversy. Shallon, what we`re seeing here on the reality show villain act that Omarosa has really perfected, hasn`t she?</s>SHALLON LESTER, ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALIST: Well, she has and she hasn`t. If she were truly savvy, she would have learned that people would like to see her become a little bit more likable as she develops. But she hasn`t. She`s still sort of the same pathetic - and as Wendy Williams said, D-list person. But if she was so D-list and irrelevant, why did Wendy have her on the show? Just because she had a book? A lot of irrelevant people write books. They don`t deserve to be on TV. So I think this little catfight kind of served both of their interests. They both kind of got the attention and the publicity they desperately needed.</s>ANDERSON: Yes. We`re talking about Wendy Williams` show. And you know, to that end, I want you to take a look at more of what went down between Omarosa and Wendy Williams. It really got personal as they started to rip into how each other looks. Watch this.</s>WILLIAMS: I would suggest for you some Restylane. The lines sag.</s>OMAROSA: And I would suggest a wig that doesn`t sit off my head three inches. That would be my suggestion.</s>WILLIAMS: You know what? Omarosa, and on that note, thank you for coming on my show.</s>ANDERSON: Wendy makes it clear it is her show. It really got vicious. And guys, what I really love here is that Omarosa was also on this show to promote a charity for young people called "Positive Vibrations" which promotes nonviolence. Ben, not for nothing, why are we still talking about Omarosa four years after she first appeared on "The Apprentice"?</s>WIDDECOMBE: Well, she`s clearly making a lot of money out of her shtick which is to be a reality show villain. As she told Wendy, she has done no fewer than 17 different reality shows since her breakout on "The Apprentice." But I think the problem and what causes so much tension that`s evident in Omarosa is that she doesn`t realize if she`s going to go that route and be that persona, she can`t turn around and then claim to be a philanthropist and to have a charity. She also told many that she still runs her political consultancy out of Washington, D.C. I want to know what person in their right mind would hire Omarosa to be a lobbyist for them in Washington. She has to be one thing or the other.</s>ANDERSON: Yes. Who would trust her? I know she`s really made a career out of being a TV villain, it seems. OK, guys, I do want to now move on to another story new right now. The YouTube divorce lady, Tricia Walsh-Smith, who just got her butt kicked by a judge in her divorce case. Yes, you know, we all remember when Tricia took her rage over divorce to YouTube with several shocking videos like this one. Take a look.</s>TRICIA WALSH-SMITH, THE YOUTUBE DIVORCE LADY: The only cruel behavior I`ve ever done to that man is make him have skim milk in his cappuccino. And I did sneak wheat grass once into his freshly made vegetable juice. I loved and adored him.</s>ANDERSON: Well, a judge just granted her husband the divorce that probably desperately wanted after living with her, and ordered her to stick to the pre-nup which means she`s got to get out of their apartment in 30 days, and she only gets $750,000 of his multimillion-dollar fortune. Michael, did this whole YouTube thing really backfire on her?</s>MUSTO: Absolutely. It made Tricia camp icon. It didn`t really her case. YouTube is not a court of law - news flash. If it were Chris Crocker, it would have won damages against the press for making fun of Britney. We all had a lot of fun watching Tricia`s videos. In fact, I was convinced they were Mad TV outtakes. But she should have gone somewhere classier, maybe like Craigslist or something to really state her case in a serious way.</s>ANDERSON: Well, speaking of her in the interest of fair disclosure, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT has secured the first extensive interview with Tricia Walsh-Smith since that divorce ruling for tonight`s show. But she bailed on us, canceled at the very last minute. Thanks for nothing, Tricia. But I want you guys to listen to what she told reporters outside of court right after the divorce hearing.</s>SMITH: My husband had no grounds when he filed last October. He was throwing me out with only $50,000. Now, you heard in the court tonight - $50,000. He had plunged me into debt. By doing YouTube, I brought attention to my plight.</s>ANDERSON: And did you like that? Telling the person behind her just to be quiet there. And I`m sorry she is getting $750,000. Ben, I would have to think all those people out there having trouble paying their bills have zero sympathy for this woman.</s>WIDDECOMBE: Well, I wish someone would throw me out with only $750,000. I think she should just take the money and run. It was $750,000 for nine years of marriage. No one in her family liked her, including her husband. I think she`s done terribly well out of the whole deal.</s>ANDERSON: Well, the judge said that she completely shot herself in the foot by making these YouTube videos so she could have done even better. Listen to what the judge said, quote, "She has attempted to turn the life of her husband into a soap opera by directing, writing, acting in and producing a melodrama." Shallon, do you think she totally got what she deserved here?</s>LESTER: She`s definitely reaping what she`s sown. And she should learn the phrase, "Revenge is best served cold, not while the judge is still reviewing your pre-nup." Even if she garners some public sympathy for this, the public wasn`t ruling on her case. She should have just stuck to the basics and done what every woman has done when they`ve gotten dumped - cut the crotches out of his pants. You move on.</s>ANDERSON: And be classy about it like her husband.</s>LESTER: Yes.</s>ANDERSON: He didn`t publicly talk about their laundry. OK. Michael Musto, Ben Widdecombe, Shallon Lester, thank you all. Good to see you. Well, that YouTube lady`s divorce battle was pretty nasty. But it doesn`t even come close to what`s going on with one of the biggest talk radio hosts in the country.</s>SAVAGE: I`ll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it`s a brat who hasn`t been told to cut the act out.</s>ANDERSON: That`s Michael Savage ripping into such a devastating disability, autism. Tonight, there`s coast-to-coast outrage and Hollywood is all fired up. Should Savage be fired? You`ve got to stick around for this stunning debate, next. I just cannot believe what "The View`s" Sherri Shepherd is revealing. She is opening up like never before about some deep, dark secrets like sleeping around, having abortions and her startling words about dying. I`ve got that straight ahead. And you also don`t want to miss this totally ridiculous thing that Hulk Hogan`s daughter is saying about women voting in this year`s presidential elections. Let me just say Brooke isn`t going to be getting her Ph.D anytime soon. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT coming back right after this.
