Is Kris Jenner Joining 'The Talk' as New Cohost?

Is Kris Jenner Joining 'The Talk' as New Cohost?

Fresh off her gig as mother of the bride, Kim Kardashian's mom, Kris Jenner, may have just have scored a new job! 

According to EW.com, Jenner has signed on to cohost CBS' chatfest The Talk for two weeks in the fall. But sources say her guest stint could turn into something more permanent and that Jenner may be the substitute for Sharon Osbourne, who is taking a hiatus from the show to spend more time with her husband, rocker Ozzy Osbourne.

There has been a bit of a revolving door at The Talk since its premiere. Most recently it was announced that Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete were not expected to return next season because their contracts were not picked up. Comedian and radio personality Sheryl Underwood is slated to join Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert and Osbourne on the panel for the new season -- and it looks like Jenner may just find a solid home as cohost, as well. And with her wild, reality-TV family, Jenner were certainly have a lot to talk about!

The new season of The Talk premieres on Sept. 6.

Natalie Portman First Post-Baby Film Role: Playing Angela Lansbury's Mom?

Natalie Portman First Post-Baby Film Role: Playing Angela Lansbury's Mom?

Is Natalie Portman's maternity leave over? The actress, who gave birth to son Aleph in June, is reportedly in "informal" talks for the lead role in a new indie drama.

According to TheWrap, the 30-year-old Black Swan actress has been offered the starring role in Adaline, an indie film about a woman who stops aging after a strange accident. According to an earlier press release, the character "was killed in a car accident, until a simultaneous lightning strike resuscitated her and physiologically locked her in her late 20s. Adaline lives a solitary existence until she meets a man worth losing her immortality for." Katherine Heigl was originally attached to star, but dropped out in November.

While the film sounds cool, the news is surprising -- if only because Portman seemed so excited about taking a long maternity leave.

"I imagine I'm going to want to be home for years, just me and my baby," she told Newsweek in January. She did, however, note that her friends told her otherwise: "Everybody says after two months you go out of your mind."

Maybe Portman is being tempted by Adaline because of the rare opportunity to work with another great actress: Angela Lansbury. The 85-year-old actress -- who has five Tonys, 15 Emmy nominations and three Oscar nominations -- has taken only two film roles in the past decade. If Portman signs on to play the immortal lead character, she won't only get to star with Lansbury -- she'll get to play her mother! That's an offer she won't get again, and perhaps reason enough for husband Benjamin Millepied to stay home with the baby for awhile.

Lady Gaga is already a VMA icon. Since she first made her VMA debut in 2009, she has become a force to be reckoned with. She annually makes headlines for her fierce sense of style, her fierce sense of self and the fact that she's always willing to do the unexpected. That combination has made her a fan favorite. And, she said those qualities are an extension of her as a celebrity.

"I think something that's always been very important to me ... is that the fame as an art form has always been an interesting stage," she told MTV News during "MTV First: Lady Gaga." "It begins on the subway or in the car on the way here. It begins when I wake up in the morning and I take a shower. It's not something that is temporal. It has no end, so I'm excited to continue as an artist to push the boundaries of where pop music can exist."

2009
Arrival: She hit the carpet at Radio City Music Hall in New York City wearing a designer neck brace, but it was her date, the beloved Kermit the Frog, that really made headlines.

Outfits: Four in the main part of the show, which included her red-carpet Victorian-style gown, her white and blood-smeared performance bra and underwear, a red lace Alexander McQueen dress/mask/top hat combo and a sparkly white dress and wreath hat.

Nominations: She tied pal Beyoncé with nine nods, including Video of the Year and Best Female Video.

Wins: Three, including Best New Artist.

Performances: She gave fans a theatrical take on her "Paparazzi" track, seemingly bleeding all over the stage at the famed New York institution.

2010
Arrival: She hit the carpet in L.A. in a stunning McQueen dress joined by dates that were just as surprising as her 2009 beau: former armed-services members, in protest of the now-defunct "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Outfits: Three, which included her red-carpet look by McQueen, an edgy black ball gown by Giorgio Armani, and, of course, the infamous meat dress by Franc Fernandez.

Nominations: Thirteen nominations, including nods for Video of the Year, Best Choreography and Best Collaboration.

Wins: Eight wins, including the night's big prize of Video of the Year for "Bad Romance," beating out herself for "Telephone."

Performances: She rather unexpectedly gave a blink-and-you-might-miss-it sneak peek at her 2011 single "Born This Way." When she hit the stage to accept her Video of the Year award, she sang part of the song's infectious chorus.

2011
Arrival: She's certain to arrive, but how will she do it and who will be her date? Frankly, anything is possible.

Outfits: Given her penchant of wearing numerous outfits over the course of the night, we expect many looks at this year's show.

Nominations: She racked up four noms for Best Female Video and Best Video With a Message for "Born This Way," as well as Best Art Direction and Best Choreography for "Judas."

Wins: That's up to the fans, who vote on winners.

Performances: She's scheduled to open the show and set the vibe for the entire night. Given the caliber of stars (Eminem and Rihanna, Janet Jackson, Madonna with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera) who have done it in the past, it is one of the most-coveted slots in the show.

What do you expect from Lady Gaga at this year's VMAs? Tell us in the comments!

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for Best New Artist at VMA.MTV.com.

Olivia Wilde Spends More Time with Tao

They decided to call it quits on their marriage back in February, but Olivia Wilde and Tao Ruspoli were spotted together in Venice Beach, CA on Thursday (August 25).

Keeping things between them as civil as can be, the ?House? actress and her soon-to-be- ex husband sat on a curb and enjoyed a chat along with some lunch - making for the second sighting of togetherness this week.

Meanwhile, during a call into ?On Air with Ryan Seacrest? the same day, Olivia explained how she thinks that the Jonas Brothers - who occupied her current home before she did - left a bit of a spell on the house.

She told Seacrest, ?Because they are such good virginal boys, those Jonas Brothers, they haunted my house, and now there?s a no sex hex on my house.?
