TLC’s hit reality show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” is breaking records, scoring its highest rating ever with their new series of holiday specials.  The Halloween show debuted with 3.1 million viewers, getting the second highest overall rating of the night behind “Real Housewives of Atlanta”.  Jane asks, “What is it about Honey Boo Boo?”  

You know him as one of the stars of “Jackass” and the host of “Killer Karaoke” but now, Steve-O is speaking out on a much more serious topic. Steve-O teamed up with Farm Sanctuary in a new documentary called “What Came Before”.  The documentary, narrated by Steve-O, profiles three animals who either escaped or were rescueD from factory farms.

Steve-O talks about each animal and his own journey to the sober, vegan, animal advocate that he is now.

Are Rihanna and Chris Brown together again? That’s what everyone is wondering after the superstars’ very public outing at the Lakers-Knicks game on Christmas Day. The two were seen cozying up to each other in courtside seats, laughing, talking, and then were spotted holding hands as they left. While no official comment has been released, many are speculating the on and off again couple might be back on.

And this isn’t the first time both singers made headlines for being together. Back in 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault of Rihanna stemming from a vicious fight as the couple drove home from a pre-Grammy party. Brown is still on probation from that incident.

Police arrested two men they say planned to kidnap, strangle and castrate star singer Justin Bieber. Cops say the mastermind behind the plot was a convicted murderer, Dana Martin, who is currently in prison serving two life sentences for raping and killing a 15-year-old girl 12 years ago.

According to court documents, Martin had become infatuated with Justin Bieber and even had a tattoo of Bieber on his leg. He allegedly orchestrated the scheme with a former fellow inmate Mark Staake who in turn recruited his nephew Tanner.

Dave Hester, one of the stars of the hit show “Storage Wars”, is suing A & E, the network that airs the show claiming that parts of the show are staged.  According to Hester says he was fired from the show after he expressed concern over producers allegedly planting items in the storage units. Hester says producers plant valuable items in the units to make the show more interesting and he says the show rigs the bidding process.

A&E says it does not comment on pending litigation but in a previous statement has said “There is no staging involved. The items uncovered in the storage units are the actual items featured on the show.”

MTV’s new reality series “Buckwild” is stirring up controversy before its big debut.  The show stars nine young adults from West Virginia whose motto is reportedly “Whatever happens, happens.”

It’s set to air in January in place of “Jersey Shore” but now U.S. Senator Joe Manchin is asking MTV to cancel the show saying it “plays to ugly, inaccurate stereotypes about the people of West Virginia.”  Sen. Manchin even claims the show isn’t real!  Jane talks to the newest member of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” to get her reaction.

The escalating war between country superstar LeAnn Rimes and Real Housewife of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville takes an ugly turn as new accusations surface. Brandi Glanville claims her 9-year-old son got sick after eating Stepmom LeAnn Rimes' laxatives, saying he thought they were candy. This, just the latest, in a long line of accusations between the two stars.

Tonight, Giuliana Rancic, co-anchor of E! News, joins Jane to talk about her recent sit down interview with the country star where she asked the questions everyone wants to know! Does LeAnn regret the affair? Why did she seek therapy? And what does Eddie think about all of this?
