He says he and his thenwife linda drift ad part but he had a friend who always had his back. He was holding my father as my father passed away. Sothere was never any question of who he was or what he meant to me. Reporter his name . Bubba clem, the shock jock in florida who suggests an unusual method to makeim forget his troubles. Offering up his own wife heather. Do you recall what your answer was . I said i would. Reporter hogan said he initially lghed it off. I knew they had an open marriage because he talked about it on the radio. I thought with me it was so many times they talked about it, it turned into a joke. Reporter but at his lowest point he says he called his i said, shes filing for divorcrc i called bubba, crying on the phone, broke down. Bubba said, come over to the house, lets talk.

You put it in the public because you believed it was true and it wa interesting, right . Yes. And it didnt really m tter whether or not it was a more bid and sensational prying and that didnt matter to you, did it . No. Reporter the judge asking denton to resesnd to this final question from the jury. If the video was gratuitous would you still believe that its covered under the First Amendment . No, i wouldnt.

Basically its b brand building. Reporter reality shows used to be a way for regular folks to become famous. Think snooki on jersey shore. Or bethenny frankel. A real housewife turned business touch my body reporter for a woman whos been in the spotlight since she was 20, a solo artist with the most number one hits of alltime like touch my by. Touch my body reporter and who more or less owns christmas. All i want for christmas reporter could endlessly chasing fame be a new reality show, do more harm than good .

Reporter led some viewers to question whether she had a Substance Abuse problem. Allegations she addressed on nightline in2009. Ive never been addicted to y prescription drugs, ive never been drunk, i have worked my whole life. I sacrificed being a normal girl and not havingg the ability to have proper relationships, not being able to be mom, a real mom. I am fortunate and feel completely blessed. But im not the girl thats in those tapes. Repepter the backlash making her question the decision to ever do a reality show. I honestly think it was the biggest mistake. Reporter but mariahs world is not designedo be a warts and all production. Mariah is one of the producers and she said she has veto powers over what is and isnn included. Only a star as big as mariah can insist that i have veto power. Reporter shes already made it clear that some things are off limits. Like her 4yearold twins with exhusband nick cannon. When my colleague Michael Strahan visited mariah backstage at her las vegas show last year, she talked about the imporornt of shielding them from the glare of celebrity. Theyy human beings and they have to be treated as such. Its not just like, theyre bies, they dont know whats going on. Yes, theyre sensitive and theyre going to feel any kd of tension. This would be my living room. Reporter but she has let cameras into her private life before. Besides cribs this is my first apartment ever. To follow her for their uncut series. Dont make the show so early. I dont know that people want to see this much of mariah, but theyre going to. I dont feel kate middleton. Reporter Heather Mcdonald was chelsea handlers sidekick on chelsea lately. And fancies herself something of a reality show expert. Im obsessed with reality shows.

Reporter friends with kris jenner shes had a cameo on the mother of all reality shows keep ising up with the kardashians. I think shes going to regret not buying at the end of the episode itses are like, well, you know. Kris jenner will be like, you know. In the end i knew that even though my girls fight, theyre always going to be sisters. You u ow, theres always a little bit of a button to like like full house kind of. Alittle, kardashians and ull house have a lot in common. Reporter she has high hopes for mariahs show. She can be her fabulous self. We can see her trotting along shopping. Counting her diamonds. Happy birthday reporter what fans want are the candid moments, the unguarded star. At work will youre trying to play like youre so grown reporter and at play. Shes not willing to lit h h hair down and show people what shes really like and give them a peek inside her life, its not going to work. If its not dramatic, i its not going to be good tv. If you make it too much pablum and not enough drama, its not going to achieve its ultimate goal which is getting viewers. Reporter and gettingiewers means staying relevant. Well see if she can do both when mariahs world debuts later this year. In new york.

And its pretty much changed my life. Reporter Group Classes focus on teaching all types of women how to protect themselves. Using all types of footwear. A former ballerina, she switched focus to selfdefense while she was just a teenager. Unfortunately i was satisfaction basically assaulted when i was 19 by someone that i knew. And i tried to find aay to heal myself. My father actually recommended a selfdefense system and it was the one thing that allowed me to feel the sense of empowerment. Because i felt like i was doing something positive towards the incident. High heels are a key ingredient, she says. So her students are never unprepared. The thing is that its selfdefense. That its not martiti arts. Youre caught off guard, so for a woman to live her lif wearing high heels, its a valid concern.
