Lionel Richie
On his new album Tuskegee, one of the year's most pleasant surprises, R&B and pop icon Lionel Richie reinterprets his catalogue with help from contemporary country stars, adding a little twang to hits like "Say You, Say Me" and "Dancing on the Ceiling." Friday night, some of those same artists — Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts among them — reunite with Richie in Las Vegas to show off their creations live onstage in ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends — In Concert (9/8c, CBS).
TV Guide Magazine: Aside from the performances, what else does the special feature?
Richie: The artists' stories about me and how the songs affected them.

Jessica Simpson, John Varvatos, Nicole Richie
Oh dear. To quote a real fashion star, that is a lot of look. And honestly, Nicole Richie deserves better. Who ever imagined you'd hear that some day?!
Last night, NBC's design competition, Fashion Star, returned for week two and once we got past the sight of Jessica Simpson's ginormous bra-monsters trying to eat their way up her neckline, we were struck by all the excessive business going on. An overly loud audience. Runway shows that look like a theme-park concert mated with a Eastern European beauty pageant. Backstage footage. Confessional interviews. Judges comments. Buyers bidding. It's just too much.

Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson might be carrying pregnancy weight, but viewers will see a slimmer version of the singer when her reality competition show Fashion Star premieres in March.
"I wasn't pregnant when we shot it. It will be amazing to see myself with a waistline," she said on a call Thursday, according to US Weekly. "I'll be like a big blob sitting on the couch watching myself thin."

Nicole Richie, John Varvatos, Elle Macpherson, Jessica Simpson
At first glance, NBC's upcoming Fashion Star may sound like a knockoff of Lifetime's Project Runway and Bravo's The Fashion Show. But executive producers, including original Runway co-creator Jane Lipsitz, insist Fashion Star goes one step further.
As host and executive producer Elle Macpherson told reporters at NBC's winter TV preview Friday, it was important to "create a show that was just as much about shopping as it was about fashion."

Rebecca Black and Jay Leno
YouTube sensation Rebecca Black almost didn't recorder her hit song.
On Tuesday night's Tonight Show, Black told Jay Leno that the original song the studio sent her was about being a guy's superhero. Black couldn't relate and asked for — and got — something else: "Friday."
"It's about having fun with your friends and being a teenager. I thought it was different because it's not indecent," she said.

"Do you guys even do a Google search on these people?" she asked Bachelor host Chris Harrison. "Honestly, my 90-year-old mother with a box of wine and steno pad could've found out more information about this guy."
As for the contestants...
