Larry King to host show on SportsNet LA

Larry King is to serve as host of "Larry King at Bat," a program on the Los Angeles Dodgers' television network, starting next month. SportsNet LA made the announcement Tuesday, Variety reported. The hour-long show is to premiere March 18. It was unclear how often it will air. "In addition to being a talented and renowned TV personality, Larry King is an incredible Dodger fan," Dodger President and Chief Executive Officer Stan Kasten said in a statement. "We are so excited to officially bring him into the Dodger family." "With my love of sports and my interviewing skills, I think it will be a happy combo," the 80-year-old King said.


Paula Deen says she is 'fighting to get her name back'

U.S. celebrity chef and author Paula Deen says she is "fighting to get her name back" after a racism scandal nearly destroyed her career last year. Deen, 67, admitted in a 2013 deposition she used the N-word in reference to an African-American man who robbed her at gunpoint decades ago. The confession sparked a media firestorm and, although Deen apologized for her behavior and insisted she is not a racist, she was fired by the Food Network and lost numerous product endorsement deals. "I'm fighting to get my name back," Deen told People.com, adding she feels she has survived her "greatest fear." "I used to have dreams that I lost everything," she said. "And when it finally happens, you think, 'I'm still alive.'" She admitted to People.com there were some days she struggled to get out of bed. "When I woke up each morning, it was like my world was crashing down again," she said. TMZ recently reported Deen signed a $75 million deal with a Phoenix-based investment company to revitalize her brand. Jahm Najafi made the pact to sell Deen's pots and other cooking related items. The company owns SkyMall magazine, the Book of the Month Club and Columbia House.

Enquirer apologizes for Philip Seymour Hoffman article

The National Enquirer admits it published an erroneous story about Philip Seymour Hoffman and is now funding an annual scholarship in the late actor's name. The announcement came after Hoffman's longtime friend, New York playwright David Bar Katz, filed a $50 million lawsuit against the tabloid, which claimed the two men had a homosexual relationship. Bar Katz said in court documents the story and an interview attributed to him were "complete fabrication." The Enquirer withdrew the article and apologized, the Hollywood Reporter said. The publication also is funding Bar Katz's American Playwriting Foundation, which will grant $45,000 each year to make an unproduced play, as part of its settlement of Bar Katz's lawsuit. Called the Relentless Award, the prize will represent "Hoffman's dogged pursuit of artistic truth," Bar Katz said. The Enquirer also ran a full-page advertisement in the main news section of Wednesday's New York Times stating it was deceived by a person claiming to be Bar Katz, THR said. Hoffman, the Oscar-winning star of "Capote," died this month in New York of a suspected heroin overdoe. The 46-year-old actor was survived by his longtime girlfriend and their three young children.


Pippa Middleton talks about her famous bridesmaid dress

Pippa Middleton admits the tight white bridesmaid dress she wore to her sister Kate's 2011 wedding to Britain's Prince William may have fit "too well." Middleton, 30, an author and party planner, received media attention from around the world for her shapely appearance in the gown. E! News said she joked at the Women in Advertising and Communications dinner in London Tuesday about her unexpected experience in the spotlight. "As I have found out, recognition has its upside, its downside and -- you may say -- its backside," Middleton said. Referring to the dress, she said she was "glad it fitted." "In retrospect, it fitted a little too well."
