Dina's Dirt for November 21, 2024

Richard accidentally flipped off Savannah Guthrie on live TV. The moment happened after a clip from his new show, "The Agency," was shown, and he raised his middle finger to reenact a part of the scene that didn't make the preview. When he realized it was broadcast, he said, "Sorry, but that's what I did in the piece," while Savannah pointed out, "You just did an obscene gesture on this family morning show." It came a day after Cher was on the show and dropped an F-bomb.

"The Simpsons" is losing one of its legendary voice actors. Pamela Hayden, who has voiced the character of Bart's best friend Milhouse Van Houten (as well as bully Jimbo Jones, next door neighbors Rod and Todd Flanders and many other iconic characters), is retiring. She has been credited on almost 700 of the show's 774 episodes to date. In a statement, Pamela said, "The time has come for me to hang up my microphone, but how do I say goodbye to 'The Simpsons'? Not easily."

On "The Today Show," Bowen Yang revealed his real life fairy godmother Ariana Grande called "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels herself so he could be in the film "Wicked." He said Lorne wouldn't let him because of his obligations to SNL, but then one phone call from Ariana changed all that. By the way, "Wicked" Director Jon M. Chu admitted that Ariana Grande originally wanted to audition for the part of Elphaba in "Wicked." He was told that she had even prepped it for the audition. But when asked if there was a chance she could've gotten the role, he said, "The reality is no."

Lamar Odom bought a "Realdoll" that resembles his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian. After touring the RealDoll's Las Vegas facility, he ended up placing an order for a customized doll that looked a lit like Khloé, saying it was "perfect" for him. He did admit, though, that ordering it could be seen as a bit disturbing.

Yet another contestant from "The Voice" has dropped out. Not long after Team Michael contestant Tanner Frick unexpectedly quit "The Voice," Team Gwen's Mor Ilderton decided to leave during the final Knockout round. If they keep dropping like this, the judges may just have to compete against each other.
