Vanessa Minnillo Finds the Beauty Within | Today's News: Our Take | 1/1/2009

You've all heard it: "Beauty's only skin deep." "Beauty's on the inside." Vanessa Minnillo certainly has and now, she's out to test those notions. The former TRL VJ serves as host and one of three judges — alongside Nole Marin and Cheryl Tiegs — in ABC's new beauty competition with a twist, True Beauty (premieres Jan. 5 at 10 pm/ET). Ten becoming contestants think they're vying to be named the most physically beautiful person, but they are, unbeknownst to them, also being judged on their inner beauty, behaviors and kindness, among other criteria. Minnillo, a one-time Miss Teen USA, chatted with TVGuide.com about why she jumped onboard the series, what she thinks of the "kids'" ugly behavior and how the show can be re-tooled for future seasons.

Naughty Knifeplay May Cut Short Lohan Pal's "Career" | Today's News: Our Take | 6/5/2007
Risqué photos published by X17 and showing a "dazed"-looking (imagine!) Lindsay Lohan cavorting with a knife and a mystery brunette could cut short the esteemed career of the latter lass, who has since been identified as Vanessa Minnillo — aka the former host of TRL and ongoing gf of Nick Lachey. Minnillo's appearance in the pics follows unflattering talk that while wielding a mic for ET, she "was extremely high maintenance," as a source tells the New York Post's Page Six. "Vanessa wants to be a celebrity, not interview them. She wouldn't conduct post-[Grammys] interviews because she wanted to party," and thus irked her bosses to the point that she wasn't asked to cover the Oscars. A rep for Minnillo insists to the Post, "[Vanessa] chose to leave ET because her contract expired. This is the first I've heard of any bad behavior."POLL: Whose mom is better, Lindsay's or Paris Hilton's? Vote here. read more
View the Possibilities: The Next Rosie | Today's News: Our Take | 4/25/2007
After this year's dramatic turn on The View, with Rosie O'Donnell leading the discussions and picking fights with certain real-estate moguls, she's opting out of next year's contract. I think it's a wise decision. Although Rosie helped View ratings, got the audience stirred up and made the top of video lists and news items, I wasn't settling into her presence on the ABC morning program as well as I have with Meredith Vieira's new gig at Today. So, who would be a better choice for The View? Who would really complement the other ladies and still argue with Elisabeth Hasselbeck? Who could nestle into the comfort (and sometimes uncomfortable) zone of Hot Topics and later avoid public announcements from Barbara Walters trying to smooth over any rumors?Let us ponder the possibilities....Paula Abdul is definitely not an option. Ellen DeGeneres would be hilarious mixed with Joy Behar, but we'll let her keep her own show, which commands a funny, friendly and entertaining vibe all in one.More... read more
