This weeks’ Us Weekly cover features former talk-show maven, Ricki Lake, giving her critics a Hi-Yah! Only Britney and Anna Nicole have gotten more hits on the magazine’s website. The former talk show host went from 250 lbs to a slender 123 lbs.

Lake says that she “f*&#ing loves the cover”, and I’m also sure she loves being almost as popular a mental case and a drugged out Playboy has been!

P.S. I smell The View replacement.

Well more like the Internet. Several celebrities from A through the D list have thought about or actually done this, and R. Kelly’s joining the same effort as he publicizes the release of this new album, Double Up, on May 29. Are you ready for R.KellyTV? I don’t think anyone is. Check out the intro clip.

Yesterday, Lloyd’s of London insured America Ferrara’s smile for $10 million. The agreement wasn’t made in vanity’s sake. She joined forces with Aquafresh White Trays, which vows to give $1 from the sale of each tray to Smiles for Success—an organization that provides dental care for welfare women who enter the workforce. She’s one of the many celebrities to have a body part or attribute insured with Lloyd’s of London such as Keith Richards, Bette Davis and Claudia Schiffer. Congrats again to America!

This one was too good not to share! One of our love muffins, Nelson, from Ohio wrote in with this week’s Ask B. Scott. Here it is…

B. Scott,

Love the site! Love the fashion tips especially. I want your opinion. I’m not big but I want to know if it’s okay for big people to wear skinny jeans? I saw someone last week with a pair that almost ended my vision. What do you think?
