'Don't Trust the B--' stars embrace show's titleIt's no surprise that Krysten Ritter revels in the chance to play Chloe, the title character in ABC's new comedy, "Don't Trust the B-- in Apartment 23." "I mean, d-uh," she told CNN. "[In the premiere] alone, I’m in a rap video; I’m naked; I’m getting a kid drunk; and having sex on a birthday cake. It’s ridiculous! It’s really fun to play any character that has no morals and no filter." Ritter was genuinely surprised through the course of shooting the show's first season as to how far the writers took her character.

The "Dance Duel," promoted last week, didn't occur. ABC says the dance-off between couples with the lowest viewer vote totals will actually begin next week. And one of the show's more popular celebrities got the boot.

Nicki Minaj: Gaga comparisons are 'tired'You won't offend Nicki Minaj if you try to draw a comparison between her and another outrageously dressed singer, Lady Gaga, but she just might demand to know why you think they're similar. "[The comparison] irks me, yeah," Minaj said in an interview with ABC's "Nightline." "First of all, I'm a rapper. I'm from south Jamaica, Queens. What are the similarities? Wigs? Every female in this game wears wigs." And if you think "over-the-top costumes" is another thing the two stars have in common, you'll be met with the buzzer sound.
