Seriously? OMG! WTF?

It’s Marcia, Marcia, Marcia when the fifth season of "Celebrity Fit Club" returns to VH1 next year with "The Brady Bunch" star MAUREEN McCORMICK among the eight celebrity weight watchers. "My daughter said, ‘Mom I think you should do it,’" Maureen replies, when asked why she agreed to appear on the celeb reality show. "For the past few years, I had been totally out of exercising, just eating and going crazy. I thought, ‘What a great opportunity to do something positive.’" Maureen, who admits she suffered from bulimia in her late teens and early 20s, is hoping to lose the 25 to 30 pounds she has gained since her mother died. "I have had a lot of hard things going on in the past few years of my life," she tells ET. "My mother was my best friend. It was really hard going through her illness with her. I have a brother who is mentally retarded, and about a month before my mother died, my father came to me and said, ‘I need to put DENNY into a home.’ That was really, really difficult." As for her eating disorder, she says it didn’t take place during "The Brady Bunch," but afterwards. "Back on the show, I could eat whatever I wanted," she recalls. "Things changed. I am 5-foot 3-inches. At some point I stopped growing, and it is harder when you are small. We never dealt with [eating disorders] on the show. I really don’t think EVE [PLUMB] or Susie [SUSAN OLSEN] were dealing with a weight issue." It was a fear of becoming very ill or dying that caused Maureen to stop purging. "I had some friends going through the same thing with me at the same time," she explains. "I am really stubborn and really strong-willed when I put my mind to something. When I do, I can say no and turn things around." Joining Maureen for the fifth season of VH1’s weight-loss series are TIFFANY, KIMBERLY LOCKE, DA BRAT, DUSTIN DIAMOND, WARREN G, CLEDUS T. JUDD and ROSS MATTHEWS.

Now I can’t wait to see this season of CF5.

If the Luxor’s light beam ever needs extra wattage, bring on Liza Minnelli. The energy at her free concert for fellow entertainers early Sunday was something to behold. The Nativity With 23 standing ovations and too many affectionate shoutouts to count, more than 1,000 showbiz kids and headliners showered the Broadway and film icon with appreciation during her two-hour show in the Luxor Theatre. Minnelli was making good on a recent promise to revive a lost tradition on the Strip. Back in the 1980s, she often joined Sammy Davis Jr. for special after-hour shows for performers who rarely got to see the big names. Minnelli, 60, repeatedly referred to the youngish crowd as "my babies" and thanked the audience for turning out. In a moment that long will be remembered, Minnelli brought down the house late in the show when she told the crowd, "Wait a minute, I can’t see a damn thing," and plucked off her iconic eyelashes. Special guest performer Terri White wowed ‘em with "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and Sam Harris joined Minnelli for "Happy Days are Here Again." As the crowd filed out about 3:30 a.m., "La Cage" headliner Frank Marino was heard saying, "Now if we can just get Cher to do it."

Sounds like it was one hell of a show! 

Elton John left the stage briefly during a weekend concert in Brisbane after being struck by a bout of nausea, according to a news report Monday. John left the stage without a word about two hours into his Sunday concert. He was gone for about five minutes, the Australian Associated Press reported. When he returned, the 59-year-old pop star used an Australian colloquialism to explain that he had left the stage to vomit. "I thought I’d better chunder in the toilet (rather) than all over the front row," he was quoted as saying. Apparently feeling better, John closed the show about 45 minutes later.

You have to admire him for getting right back on and finishing the show!

A livid Kate Moss has shelled out the cash for an anti-heroin implant in a last ditch attempt to get junkie boyfriend Pete Doherty off the drug for good. The supermodel was furious when Pete was arrested in East London last week on suspicion of possession of crack cocaine, and promptly paid for a week of treatment at a clinic in Portugal. Part of that treatment included an anti-heroin implant, inserted in to his abdomen – a tactic that Pete has tried before. With each implant costing £600, in addition to travel fees and clinic expenses, Kate is estimated to have spent several thousand pounds on cleaning Pete up. Onlookers observed that the Babyshambles frontman was not overly grateful for her efforts, however. Pete was allegedly seen slamming the phone down on Kate after a heated argument as he checked out of his hotel yesterday. Kate has already issued Pete an ultimatum: clean up his act, or lose her in the process.

I do not know how or why she puts up with him? I would’ve dumped his a$$ a long time ago.

John Stamos has joined the cast of ABC’s "A Raisin in the Sun," the TV movie adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry’s play. In "Raisin," which tells the story of a family living and struggling on Chicago’s South Side in the 1950s, Stamos has been cast in the role of Carl Lindner, who represents the all-white community of Claybourne Park in its efforts to buy out the black Younger family from moving in. The three-hour movie also stars Sean Combs, Phylicia Rashad, Audra McDonald and Sanaa Lathan, who are reprising their roles from the 2004 Broadway revival. The movie starts shooting soon in Toronto.
