Race is an uncomfortable topic for most people, and talking about race — particularly controversial racial topics — is likely what Quentin Tarantino, director of Django Unchained, had in mind when he made the movie. Unfortunately for reporter Jake Hamilton of Houston-based Jake's Takes, Samuel L. Jackson wasn't about to let a white reporter get away with avoiding a certain word during their interview.

Django Unchained movie review: Bold and bloody>>

Hamilton began his questions in a seemingly routine way, but an unimpressed Jackson interrupted the reporter mid-sentence.

JH: "You know there's been a lot of controversy surrounding the usage of the N-word in this movie and..."

SLJ: "No? Nobody? None? The word would be?"

JH: "I don't want to say it."

SLJ: "Why not?"

JH: "I don't like to say it."

SLJ: "Have you ever said it?"

JH: "No sir."

SLJ: "Try it."

JH: "I don't like to say it."

SLJ: "Try it!"

JH: "Really, seriously?"

SJ: "We're not going to have this conversation unless you say it. You want to move on to another question?"

JH: "Okay. Awesome. Um..."

You can get the full interview below; Hamilton starts talking to Jackson around the 13:55 mark. Hamilton looks noticeably unsure and surprised at Jackson's reaction to his avoidance of using the N-word. Jackson seems irritated at the so-called sugarcoating of the interview.

Did Samuel L. Jackson drop the F-bomb on SNL?>>

Hamilton commented today, "The most awkward moment was just seeing everyone in the room freeze, and waiting to see what my reaction was going to be." He continued, "Whatever the video's doing today, making the rounds, it's not as bad as it would be if I had actually said it. The last thing that my affiliate needs is one of their reporters going around saying the N-word and broadcasting it everywhere."

This one is a tough call, and we can see both sides of the issue. Hamilton chose to play it safe regarding the use of the N-word, and Samuel L. Jackson looks like a bit of a bully.

Patti Page died on Jan. 1, 2013; the singer was 85 years old. Younger generations may not be familiar with Patti Page, but she was one of the most successful recording artists in history. Page sold over 100 million records with her most popular song, "Tennessee Waltz," which spent 13 weeks on top of the Billboard music charts in 1950. Younger fans might be familiar with another of her hits, " Doggie in the Window?" which went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1953.

An Oklahoma native, Patti Page was just 20 years old when she signed with Mercury Records, which is still in existence today as part of the Island Def Jam Music Group. Mercury Records, then a relatively new label, credits Page as its first — and one of the most — successful female artists.

She had commerical success with her first single, "Confess," released in 1948, and then made history with her second single, "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming," released in 1950. That song sold over 1 million copies. Page is credited with introducing the technique of overdubbing, which allows studios to add sound to a previously recorded song. Overdubbing was first done on her song "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming," to make up for the lack of backup vocals.

Fox News reports her biggest hit, "Tennessee Waltz," was not intended to be a major song, although it ended up becoming the first pop song that had country crossover appeal. "Tennessee Waltz" was recorded on the flip side of the record, commonly known as the B-side; the A-side was a Christmas song Page recorded for radio play.

Page was quoted once as saying, "Mercury wanted to concentrate on a Christmas song and they didn't want anything with much merit on the flip side." She went on, "The title of that great Christmas song was 'Boogie Woogie Santa Claus,' and no one ever heard of it."

It's not clear how "Tennessee Waltz" hit radio airwaves. Perhaps radio disc jockeys played it by mistake.

Page died on New Year's Day in Encinitas, California, according to her publicist, Schatzi Hageman. Page is survived by her son, Daniel O'Curran; her daughter, Kathleen Ginn; and her sister, Peggy Layton.

Below is the full version of Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz."

Did you miss out on some or all of the first half of Nashville's premiere season? Fret not! ABC has got you covered with Nashville: The Whole Story. The special show will spend an hour catching up and digging into the first half of the show.

We'll look back on how Teddy ended up as putty in Lamar's hands. We'll watch as he betrays his buddy Coleman Carlisle and thoroughly ticks off his wife, singing legend Rayna . We'll even relive the nightmare with that wretched and simpering Peggy. ABC will remind viewers just what possessed Teddy to run for mayor and hurt so many people in the first place. That should be interesting.

We'll also relive Scarlett's story from her first introduction to the vixen-like Juliette to becoming a "loose" girl after an awful week. We'll watch the waitress/poetess turn into a songwriter/singer with just the snap of an old man's fingers and the help of one seriously hot guy.

Speaking of hot guys, it wouldn't be a television drama without a few torrid love affairs, and Nashville certainly offers up its fair share of those. First, there is the young love triangle among Scarlett and her leading men, Avery and Gunnar. Or, well, it could be a polygon if you include Marilyn and Hailey. Uh-oh.

Let's not forget the old flames that burn between Rayna and Deacon, either. Did we ever finally decide who's daddy to Rayna's two little girls? The always vindictive Juliette also tried her turn with Deacon, but that seems to be over... for now. After all, she's in a very, very serious relationship with that super cute quarterback. That was made to last.

Finally, there is sure to be tons and tons of great music. Everyone knows that no version of Nashville is complete without the music. Nashville offers all kinds. You've got the pop-country crossover stuff that sounds exactly like Taylor Swift that Juliette gives you. Meanwhile, Rayna plays a slightly different country game more reminiscent of Martina McBride's kind of music. Then there are Scarlett and Gunnar who, without doubt, have the most folky, earnest sound. It's so sweet and beautiful. Especially when they cover The Civil Wars' "If I Didn't Know Better."

Oh, it's all too much to rehash! We'll leave it to ABC.

For more deets so that you can be fully prepared for the return of Nashville, turn on ABC tonight at 10/9c.

The success of HBO's Girls hinges on the chemistry between its stars. Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet make the show pop. But one of the women almost didn't make the cut.

According to The New York Times, Mamet had a rough audition. It was so bad she was convinced she'd lost the part of Shoshanna. The day of her reading, Mamet was battling a terrible cold. To keep her symptoms at bay, she took several doses of cough medicine. It was a good idea in theory, but it threw her off her game.

“Those cold meds are nothing to mess with, let me tell you," Mamet explained. "I called my agent and said, ‘I think I may have lost this job.'" At the time, the Shoshanna character wasn't a major part of the show. She could have easily been written out of the pilot. Therefore, it wouldn't have been a huge loss. But something about Mamet's unique performance made Dunham want to expand on the role.

Another sneak peek at Girls' Season 2>>

“She definitely shifted my original conception of the character, which was a much more tangential girl, whose main job was to illuminate how un-Sex and the City this world was,” said star and creator Dunham. “But Zosia’s read — her odd intonations, her roiling insecurity — gave me the sense that Shoshanna could be something much larger.”

The rest is TV history. Shoshanna is a core member of the Girls team. We love her quirky and neurotic behavior.

Flipping Out project manager extraordinaire Jenni Pulos is pregnant! While announcing she and new husband Jonathan Nassos are set to become parents in 2013, the reality star also admitted to having a major case of nerves.

"I am so very grateful for the best Christmas/New Year/Bday gift ever," Pulos tweeted along with the hashtag #yesiampregnant on Wednesday.

Seen here at the NOH8 party in Hollywood on Dec. 13, the Bravo reality star looked to be sporting a tiny bit of a baby bump! She is currently 17 weeks along.

Although Pulos and Nassos, whose wedding was featured in Flipping Out's sixth season, are thrilled to be expecting, they know the pain of loss all too well. Pulos revealed to Us Weekly that she suffered a miscarriage a few short months after they exchanged vows.

Recalling how she felt hearing the pregnancy news from her doctor in October, Pulos said, "I didn't think it would happen so quickly. I was open to IVF or adoption."

"I won't lie: I'm scared!" the mom-to-be added. "I'm like, 'How am I going to be a mom? I'm so immature!' But I'm going for it. It's so exciting."

More celebrity pregnancy news from SheKnows>>

No congratulatory wishes have yet been sent out from Jeff Lewis, Pulos' boss and Flipping Out co-star, via Twitter. In December the pair made headlines when he filed a lawsuit against her over her upcoming book Hang in There, Baby -- What One of the World's Most Difficult Bosses Taught Me About Life, Work and Love.

Nonetheless, Pulos is in a celebratory mood. She tweeted late Wednesday, "Never give up on love... or baby!" #cougarscandoit!

What advice can you offer to calm the nerves of Flipping Out's Jenni Pulos?

It looks like Modern Family star Ariel Winter is starting 2013 off on the right foot. TMZ is reporting that the 14-year-old is heading to school for the first time.

This may sound like no big deal to most teens, but Winter has been privately tutored her entire life. Recently, Winter was officially placed in the care of her sister, Shanelle Workman-Gray, and the decision was made to place her in a private Los Angeles-area high school.

Sources told the gossip site that the ABC star faces stricter rules in her sister's home, but she is flourishing under her sibling's guardianship. This is a big change from the tumultuous time she spent under the care of her mother, Chrisoula Workman. Last fall where there was evidence of emotional abuse in the parental home.

The other good news is that this change in living conditions has improved the actress' mood on set. Modern Family producers say they have seen a positive change in Winter and are happy to work with her class schedule.

The custody settlement was reached in mid-December with Workman-Gray maintaining custody of her younger sister. Winter's dad, Glenn Workman, was given authority over the young star's finances. Ariel's parents are currently separated and do not live in the same household.

The entire family is undergoing counseling to help everyone heal from a very emotionally charged case. Ariel's mother also lost control of her daughter's career and cannot contact her daughter outside of counseling.

After such a dramatic fall for the teen, it's nice to see that Winter has landed safe and sound in the new year.

There's so much awesome stuff planned for this season of The Biggest Loser. We can't tackle everything, but we'll tell you two of the most important things.

First, Jillian Michaels is back! She's such a beast. She pushes her contestants so hard, but you can always see the love in her heart and her desire to see them achieve their goals. We're sure the contestants were stoked to see her return, but we also know the viewers are excited, too.

Check out this awesome clip of Jillian in all her glory...

Another incredibly cool thing The Biggest Loser is doing this season is tackling childhood obesity, a major problem in America right now. According to the CDC , roughly one-third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese in 2008. The numbers continue to rise, so it's safe to assume that four years later, that fraction is probably even more significant.

So, what's The Biggest Loser doing about childhood obesity? It's trying to raise awareness by having three of its youngest contestants ever. It will be interesting to see how rough Jillian and the boys get with these kids. We're also hoping they aren't affected by any of the lame games the adults have been playing during recent seasons.

Watch this introduction to the kids. You're going to have a hard time not falling in love with them.

It looks like this season will be a good one. Enjoy the show!

Emma Stone will never forget the day she spent "writhing" around on Ryan Gosling's bed, even if her friends were at one point reluctant to believe it ever happened!

"I can still remember the first time I auditioned with Ryan for Crazy, Stupid, Love," Stone, Glamour UK magazine's latest cover girl, shared.

"My friends took me to the airport that night and when they asked me what I'd been doing all day, and I said that I'd been writhing around all over Ryan Gosling's bed, they were like, ‘Right! Get on that plane!' I guess that is pretty weird to hear."

Emma Stone admits she is "less buxom" than her curvy comic-book character >>

Weird has, however, become the norm for the actress, who was caught by photog cameras out with boyfriend Andrew Garfield on Dec. 12.

"It's weird in Los Angeles.... [Paparazzi are] hiding out everywhere," the 24-year-old The Help actress vented. "The hardest thing is that it makes me act like an a**hole because I now have this weird level of paranoia that I never had before."

"It feels like having a private investigator on you or something," Stone continued. "You find yourself walking around holding your head up like you're looking in the mirror—and your friends are wondering what's wrong with you. Then I feel like a jerk because half the time there's nobody there.... Still, I really don't want to be caught with a burger all over my face."

Does Emma Stone have a pre-fame sex tape? >>

Though life in California may have its downsides, the beauty admitted she can't quite understand her British beau's cultural quirks, either.

"Why is drinking such a big thing in Britain?" she pondered. "Then there's the 'c' word — the 'see you next Tuesday' word — it's everywhere, peppering every sentence, whereas if you say that word in America it shuts down the whole room. And of course there's all the 'piss-taking' you guys do over there."

Hulk Hogan is bringing his sex tape back to life. Hogan refiled his $100 million lawsuit in Florida court just months after he asked a judge to dismiss the suit in federal court. TMZ reports Hogan decided to dismiss the federal suit in order to consolidate his claims against Gawker and his sexual partner on the tape, Heather Clem, into one case. Hogan is suing both Gawker and Heather Clem — Hulk says he was secretly filmed and that Clem had a role in leaking the footage to Gawker.

Want to see a Hulk Hogan sex tape? Too bad, it exists>>

The sex tape featuring Hulk Hogan having sex with Clem — who at the time was the wife of radio DJ Bubba the Love Sponge — was initially leaked to the website Gawker in early October 2012. The leaked video is in grainy black and white and is one minute of the 30-minute sex tape. It is also shot from an angle looking down onto a large canopy bed, as if the camera was placed on some sort of high shelf or in a ceiling corner.

Hulk Hogan drops sex tape lawsuit when BFF apologizes>>

What's a bit odd about Hulk Hogan's sex tape is that Hulk and Heather talk to a man off camera for a bit. Gawker and most others assume the off-stage presence was Heather's now ex-husband and Hogan's best friend, Bubba the Love Sponge. So while Hulk Hogan seems to have been aware he was in some kind of voyeuristic situation, the quality of the sex tape and placement of the camera suggest to us that Hogan likely didn't know he was being filmed.

The lawsuit Hogan filed for unspecified damages against Bubba the Love Sponge was settled out of court, and Sponge apologized on the air. Given the divorce of Bubba and Clem, it seems Sponge doesn't mind wathching his wife get nailed with a massive lawsuit — ahem.

This is one easy dish to prepare! Not only that, but a zucchini and carrot omelet is full of protein, and it makes a great way to add veggies to a meal. Tucked away inside the omelet, zucchini and carrots add great taste, texture and flavor.

Zucchini and carrot omelet recipe

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup shredded green zucchini
• 1/3 cup shredded carrot
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish

Directions:

1. Add the eggs to a medium-sized bowl and beat well. Add in the salt, pepper and thyme and mix again.
2. Add the zucchini, carrot, garlic and Parmesan cheese to the eggs and mix to incorporate.
3. Add the olive oil to an 8-inch saute pan over medium-high heat.
4. When the olive oil is hot, add the egg mixture to the pan so it spreads out evenly. Don't stir the mixture. Instead, let it stand for a minute so the bottom of the eggs begins to set.
5. Use a rubber spatula to push the mixture around a bit, so all the liquid spreads out to the hot surface of the pan. Use the spatula to gently loosen the edges of the omelet so it doesn't stick.
6. Allow the eggs to cook for 2-3 minutes, then use the spatula to carefully fold half the omelet over, onto itself. Wait a minute or so, then carefully slide the omelet onto a serving dish.
7. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and more salt and pepper if you'd like. Serve warm.

Eggs are an exceptional addition to a Gluten-free Friday meal!

Just when you thought the wholeJersey Shore clan had cleared out of trending pop culture, they're back. Well, at least two of the cast members are.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley will be back on MTV in less than a week for Season 2 of their reality series Snooki & JWoww. The duo gave an inside look on their Jersey Shore spin-off when they stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Friday.

The season will include the birth of Snooki's baby Lorenzo with her fiancé, Jionni LaValle, but the scenes won't be too graphic for viewers.

Snooki said, "[The footage of his birth will be] over the shoulder, you see some stuff."

JWoww then chimed in with, "Never go below the curtain.” 

With good advice like that, it seems that JWoww is clearly a pregnancy pro, but does she have the baby bug yet after hanging with her BFF's baby?

“A little bit, but I want to wait, maybe a year or so. I’ll babysit anytime… I just want to see how 2013 goes…," says JWoww.

Perhaps she would like to get married first, especially since she is already engaged to her bodybuilder boyfriend of two-and-a-half years, Roger Mathews?

However, there was no mention of a wedding from either reality star, but JWoww seems to have producing aspirations in her future.

I really want to get into producing,” shared the MTV star. “I want to produce TV shows.”

Her ideas for upcoming shows include a talk show for Snooki, a style show, a makeover show, and a show to help kids who are being bullied. With all of these creative ideas at hand, it seems like the duo plan on sticking around the reality show landscape for quite some time.

The Season 2 premiere of Snooki & JWoww airs on Jan. 8 on MTV.

Cougar Town's spicing things up for cable. This month, the former ABC comedy makes the leap to TBS. To get the word out, the show's cast and creator Bill Lawrence attended the winter Television Critics Association press tour. They gave journalists a sneak peek at the new season.

Cougar Town gets new season, new network>>

Cougar Town is filled with pop culture quirks. The characters are strange to say the least, and each episode usually has an odd theme. Even though they're off-kilter, the writers find a way to rope them into reality.

How will they keep that going in season four? Well, newlyweds Jules and Grayson want their marriage to stay fresh, so they decide to get naked.

“One day in trying to keep our marriage alive we have a naked day,” Cox says. “There happens to be only one spot in the whole house where I can stand and the light comes in at all angles; step out of it, disgusting.”

The idea for the episode was based on a real event. One of the show's writers tried it at home with their spouse. “It was sexy for about five minutes and then it was just two middle-aged people standing around naked,” Lawrence says.

Busy Philipps is pregnant with second child>>

Speaking of romance, the long-developing relationship between Travis and Laurie will continue to build. But according to EW, don't expect Philipps real-life pregnancy to be written into the show. Travis and Laurie aren't moving that fast.

Cougar Town returns Jan. 8 at 10/9c on TBS.

Frank Ocean apparently has no plans to try and get out of his recent string of tickets. After being pulled over for speeding and marijuana possession, the R&B star took to Twitter to freely admit to both crimes!

On New Year's Eve, Frank Ocean was pulled over in Mono County, California, for speeding. According to TMZ, the 25-year-old was doing "roughly 90 in a 65."

When police officers approached his black BMW, they detected the smell of marijuana. One search of his belongings later, they turned up "a small bag of pot on his person."

R&B golden boy Frank Ocean nabbed by California police twice! >>

Reports state Frank Ocean was given a verbal warning for speeed, then was cited by police officers for marijuana possession, driving on a suspended license and for having tinted windows.

The "Novacane" singer's license was confiscated immediately, and his passenger was then allowed to drive the vehicle away.

Frank Ocean is a homosexual hip-hop first >>

For a few days, Frank Ocean remained mum on the drama that occurred after he was pulled over Jan. 3. Later, he tweeted this gem: "hi guys, i smoke pot. ok guys, bye."

He then went on to explain, "hi guys, i drive a m3. that b***h fast..ok guys, bye. :)"

Are we all clear on that then? Frank Ocean guilty of speeding, and guilty of pot possession in the closing hours of 2012 by his own admission.

After tweeting, "i slept thru the countdown," Ocean looked to the year to come, noting, "2013 sounds very futuristic."

This is really happening: Oxygen is set to release a new reality show called All My Babies' Mamas this spring. Yep, you read that correctly: All My Babies' Mamas. The show follows Carlos "Shawty Lo" Walker, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with his 10 baby mamas — that is, women who had children with Shawty Lo outside of marriage. Some versions of the term define "baby mama" as a woman who has children with a barely- or mostly-absent father. But, based on the preview of Oxygen's All My Babies' Mamas, it looks like all 10 of Shawty Lo's "babies' mamas" and their 11 children live together.

In Oxygen's preview for All My Babies' Mamas,we see Shawty Lo introduce himself as a major hip-hop rapper and producer. Lo says, "A lot of people might have heard of me from the beef I had with T.I. but the beef is over." . The preview then switches to one of Shawty Lo's baby mamas, E'creia, known as "The First Lady"— because she is the "baby mama with the most power"— due to her "control of all of Shawty Lo's finances."

E'creia takes it upon herself to describe the other baby mamas that live in the house. For example, Angela is "The Fighter Baby Mama", and Amanda is "The Jealous Baby Mama." E'creia goes through all 10 women and labels them as such. Also, Lo has a 19-year-old girlfriend named Ashlin who is the same age as some of his oldest children.

Check out the preview for Oxygen's All My Babies' Mamas below — the footage starts at the one minute mark. We also included a review from the YouTube user, which we think is a pretty good representation of public opinion about All My Babies' Mamas.

Paula Deen's diet has been a smashing success. Shortly after going public with her controversial diabetes diagnosis, the television chef made moderation her now motto — and shed 36 pounds from her frame!

One year after losing the weight and successfully keeping all of it off, the 65-year-old says that it's not only what she eats that is important, but why she eats.

"Putting my fork down and having a conversation has been a huge help,"Paula Deen explained to Woman's Day.

Why does taking the time to talk help? She added, "Because it takes 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that you’re full.”

Who's hungry? Paula Deen slings 25,000 pounds of ham>>

It's important to note that Paula Deen's diet success has been more about small lifestyle changes than following any particular diet plan.

"It's amazing how little changes will give you big results," she said, sharing that she now has a small sliver of cake and fried chicken monthly instead of weekly.

Rather than count calories, Paula Deen has taken to portion control through eyeballing her plate. The goal dinner, lets say, is a fistful each of meat and starch on your plate, while the other half of the plate is devoted to vegetables.

Paula Deen drops her pants — sizes>>

Another rule of thumb she's developed? Don't bother eating what you don't like.

"In my refrigerator, there's no light mayonnaise," Deen admitted. "I'd rather eat less of the real thing and have it taste really good than have diet stuff that tastes awful."

It's also important to note that the Food Network star has committed to regular exercise, though learning to love it was a bit of a struggle. She joked previously to People, "I heard that exercise is addictive. So far, it's not like cigarettes."

All in all, Paula Deen's diet sounds rather doable, don't you think?

The adorable blond Texan and former Bachelorette contestant, Sean Lowe, has had his heart broken on television once already. This time, with the roses in his hand, he's hoping to find a real, lasting love with one of the 26 beautiful girls ABC has picked out just for him. That's right. It's time for another round of The Bachelor.

In case you don't remember his story : Sean made it to the final three on Emily's season of The Bachelorette. He was pretty hopelessly in love with her and thought she felt the same way. Ready to be her husband and a father to her child, he stood before her with two other guys and had his heart ripped out of his chest when he thought for sure he'd walk away a winner, instead.

Luckily, he hasn't let his experience with Emily scar him permanently. Now he has a second chance and is in charge of who stays and who goes. He's going to work hard to make sure he finds a girl who's willing to spend forever with him.

The best part: To help win their hearts, he'll have to peel off his shirt at least a few times, right? Check out this promo...

The seventeenth season of The Bathelor premieres Monday, Jan. 7 at 8/7c.
