Tonight, the incredible story of why Wayne Newton says he wanted to kick Johnny Carson`s butt. I`m Brooke Anderson in Hollywood. TV`s provocative entertainment news show starts right now.</s>HAMMER: On SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, stars who have been nice, and stars who have been naughty. Tonight, why even kids think Paris and Britney need a good talking to by Santa.</s>HAMMER: The shocking list of who kids say has been good and whose stocking they think should be stuffed with a lump of coal. Get ready, Paris and Britney, because Santa Claus is coming to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. And you won`t like what he is bringing.</s>HAMMER: Big paychecks, big flops. Tonight, startling new information about what some of Hollywood`s leading ladies get paid. But hold on. Wait a second. Their movies are tanking. Do they deserve to make millions when they aren`t putting butts in seats? Tonight, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT dares to ask the controversial question, are Hollywood`s biggest female stars overpaid?</s>ANDERSON: Hi there, everyone. I`m Brooke Anderson coming to you from Hollywood. And tonight the Hulk is angry, and you won`t like the Hulk when he is angry. Hulk Hogan is now fighting back against his wife big-time in their divorce war. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT with the brand new developments straight ahead.</s>HAMMER: They all mess with the Hulk. But first, I got to say I love this. Love it, love it, love it. Kids in America - who says they don`t know right from wrong? Santa Claus, I hope you are listening because tonight, the kids have spoken about Britney Spears, about Paris Hilton, and what Santa ought to do this Christmas with them. So who`s been naughty, and who`s been nice? Well, the naughty, that`s kind of a no-brainer. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT with breaking news for the North Pole.</s>CROWD: Three, two, one.</s>HAMMER: So, the holiday season is upon us, and as the song goes, Santa Claus is making a list and checking it twice to find out who is naughty and nice. And that includes celebrities.</s>JULIA ALLISON, EDITOR-AT-LARGE, "STAR" MAGAZINE: Not only does Santa know what you are doing when you`re sleeping and when you`re awake, whether you`re bad or whether you`re good. For celebrities, the rest of America knows too.</s>HAMMER: SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can tell you, America`s children know which celebrities have been naughty and nice, and now, they`ve made their own list.</s>MICHAEL YO, "E! RADIO": The thing about kids is they tell you what they really think.</s>HAMMER: A marketing firm polled over 1,000 kids between the ages of 2 and 17 and asked them who should be on Santa`s naughty list. So, according to America`s kids, who deserves coal in their stockings more than anyone else? Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, of course.</s>ALLISON: Kids are pretty judgmental.</s>HAMMER: Julia Allison of "Star" magazine says it`s no surprise Britney topped the list. You`ve got to think that Santa has heard about her head shaving, her partying, her less than ideal mommy skills.</s>ALLISON: Maybe little Jaden James and little Sean Preston should let mommy know that Santa is not coming this year because mommy was naughty.</s>HAMMER: And then there`s Paris Hilton. How could kids not put her on Santa`s hit list? Her DUI arrest, her jail time, and what can we say? She`s Paris.</s>ALLISON: What makes a celebrity naughty? Could it be - maybe not wearing panties? Driving under the influence? Maybe it`s running over paparazzi`s feet. Britney and Paris really take the cake here.</s>HAMMER: Also making the naughty list, Lindsay Lohan, the Grinch, Darth Vader, the kleptomaniac Fox, Swiper, from Dora the Explorer.</s>SWIPER: Oh, man.</s>HAMMER: Oh, and one surprising choice, Beyonce. Huh?</s>YO: What`s naughty about Beyonce?</s>ALLISON: Yes, what was up with that? It`s like her having a butt?</s>HAMMER: Well, Beyonce had a song called "Naughty Girl." Maybe the kids just took her literally. The school kids also voted on who Santa should put on his nice list. Their top choice Hannah Montana, the pop star in disguise played by Miley Cyrus. That choice isn`t exactly a Christmas surprise.</s>ALLISON: It`s like an automatic direct line to Santa if you are on the Disney Channel. "Hi, yes. I`m Hannah Montana. I`m on the Disney channel. Santa, I want everything." And Santa is, like, "Sure, you are really nice. You are on the Disney Channel."</s>HAMMER: Movie star/humanitarian/serial child adopter Angelina Jolie also topped the kids` nice list.</s>YO: Angelina did very well with the kids because they know there`s a chance she might actually adopt them too.</s>HAMMER: But America`s schoolchildren aren`t total Scrooges. The kids in the poll say even the baddest of the bad deserve at least one present and to get another chance to be good girls next year.</s>YO: They still want to give you hope, Britney. They still want to give you a present for Christmas. Hopefully, it`s not a baby.</s>HAMMER: So, cheer up, Paris and Britney. Even if Santa does end up leaving you coal, or some other items -</s>ALLISON: Santa is going to bring not only coal for Britney, but also panties.</s>HAMMER: If you stay out of trouble and avoid drinking and driving, you could actually get on the nice list next year. Remember, Santa will be watching.</s>HAMMER: Yes, he will. So, is it really any surprise that Britney and Paris are beating out the Grinch and Darth Vader? Did the kids get it right? With us tonight, in Hollywood, the always nice Howard Bragman, founder of Fifteen Minutes Public Relations. In Los Angeles tonight, the often nice and sometimes naughty investigative journalist Pat Lalama. Pat, let me fire it up with you. Any surprises here? Did the kids get it right by putting Britney and Paris right at the top of the naughty list?</s>PAT LALAMA, INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST: I am so happy today. You have just made my week with this, and here is what I propose. Let`s take all those fabulous little kids and give them the jobs that the studio executives and the music industry should have. Put the music industry people and the TV executives in the third grade where they belong. I love this. They have got it right, and somebody should listen.</s>HAMMER: Howard Bragman?</s>HOWARD BRAGMAN, FOUNDER OF FIFTEEN MINUTES PUBLIC RELATIONS: I`ve got to give credit to the kids. And I`ll tell you, Britney and Paris got there the old-fashioned way this year, didn`t they? They certainly earned it on both parts. So, good job, kids.</s>HAMMER: Well, yes, and I think the point is that we`re always hearing about how dangerous Paris and Britney are to kids because they worship them and try to emulate them, be just like them. So, Pat, we really should be dancing on the roof tops here that the kids actually get it.</s>LALAMA: Well, you know what, it`s just like, remember, "High School Musical" doing so well in the ratings. Why is it that the sex-obsessed people in Hollywood and New York who create television shows and music today don`t understand that they don`t speak for most people and the values that most people wear so much on their sleeves and in their hearts? It`s disgusting. And these children are - they`re giving me hope for the future. I cannot tell you how happy I am about this.</s>HAMMER: Well, when you look at the nice list also, I find it really interesting that the older kids, who are the age bracket of 13 to 17 who participated in this survey, put Angelina Jolie at the top of their nice list. You know, Howard, it would seem to me, I mean, of all people, Angelina is a perfect example to people like Paris and Britney of a bad girl turned good.</s>BRAGMAN: Well, you`ve got to remember a couple of things. First of all, the stuff that we call "bad" to kids today may not be as bad as we think it is, OK? I think the definition of "bad" has changed. And the other part is this stuff happened a few years ago, and kids have a notoriously short memory if they ever knew it at all. They`re about as fresh as what they see on TV or on the web that day. I think there`s no surprise there. And she certainly deserves it. She`s one step below mother Teresa and maybe above Mother Teresa if the kids took a poll.</s>HAMMER: And to that point, though, Howard, they should be trying - I`m talking Britney and Paris here - trying to take a page out of Angelina`s playbook, wouldn`t you think?</s>BRAGMAN: Well, the lesson is you can turn it around. I think K-Fed probably would have gotten on the nice list this year. And in years past, he certainly got coal in the stocking. So, absolutely, you can turn it around if you listen. That`s a big "if," isn`t it?</s>HAMMER: That is a big "if" for certain. If there`s one thing for sure about them, they are consistent in not doing that. All right. At the top of the nice list and this is really no surprise, Miley Cyrus. Of course, she is the kid known by all kids as TV`s Hannah Montana. You know, let`s think about this for a moment, though, guys. Britney Spears was once America`s sweetheart, just like Miley Cyrus. What do you think, Pat? Should we be worried that Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus, might actually one day shave her head in public?</s>LALAMA: My heart pounds for the day that we find out there are nude photos of her, you know. I mean, you know - let`s just hope to dear heaven that it doesn`t happen, that she can maintain who she is. And let me tell you, A.J., you know how it will happen? With good parenting - the parents behind the good kids. Because if you look at all the bad kids, their parents - I`m not going to say they`re bad people, but haven`t done the work that it takes to keep the kids grounded.</s>HAMMER: Well, let me tell you, we`re looking at Miley and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus right there, and he is a very involved dad. He is a good guy. I like him a lot. I have a lot of respect for the guy and I think he`s doing a terrific job.</s>LALAMA: Even with that song he did "Achy Breaky Heart," you still like him?</s>HAMMER: We won`t hold "Achy Breaky Heart" against him, all right? We`re going to let that one go. All right, Howard, anybody missed on this particular list? Let`s talk naughty here. What do you think?</s>BRAGMAN: I think O.J. Simpson was kind of naughty this year. Reportedly, he stole other people`s toys, and you don`t steal toys and get on Santa`s good list. We all know that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and if it really gets out of Vegas, you must have really been naughty, right? If it makes it all the way to L.A. and SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, you are on the list.</s>HAMMER: Naughty, indeed. All right. Howard Bragman, Pat Lalama, you know, I feel like we`re in the holiday spirit already here. I thank you for joining us tonight on</s>SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.  LALAMA: Thank you, A.J. And you`re not going to get coal, A.J. You`re going to get some good stuff.</s>HAMMER: Well, I hope so.</s>ANDERSON: Well, tonight, Wayne Newton reveals who he would put on his naughty list.</s>WAYNE NEWTON, SINGER AND "DANCING WITH THE STARS" STAR: I`m going to say something I have never said on television, Mr. King.</s>ANDERSON: "The Dancing with the Stars" star opens up about something for the very first time, why he wanted to beat up one of TV`s most beloved entertainers. Talk about Danke Schoen. We`ve got that coming up.</s>HAMMER: What did he say? What did he say? All right, Brooke. A Hulk Hogan ticked off at his soon to be ex-wife, Linda. Now, tonight, I can tell you their divorce - man, it`s getting ugly, as the Hulk might say in a voice something like that. I`ve sat down with him before, and her, as a matter of fact. I never would have imagined it would have come to this. Why the Hulkster is now suing her. And money makes people do crazy things. But speaking of cash, tonight, I`ve startling new information about what some of Hollywood`s leading ladies get paid. Now, hang on a second. Their movies are tanking, even though they`re making all this money. I`ve got to ask, are Hollywood`s biggest female stars overpaid? That`s coming up at 30 minutes past the hour. Now, we would like to hear from you. It`s our SHOWBIZ TONIGHT question of the day on that very subject. Hollywood`s biggest movie stars: Are they overpaid?
