Despite their differences, Melissa Rivers wants Kathy Griffin to find happiness.
The two previously worked together briefly on Fashion Police in 2015, after Griffin replaced the late Joan Rivers on the E! series, which Rivers executive-produced. Since Griffin exited the show two years ago, Rivers says she and the My Life on the D-List star have not stayed in touch.
On Monday, Rivers, 49, sat down with veteran journalist Larry King for an episode of Larry King Now, discussing her relationship with Griffin — and why she finds the 57-year-old comedian’s recent behavior so troubling.

According to a new report from the people over at the Christian Post , some new celebrities names have already started turning up as possible houseguests for the upcoming Celebrity Big Brother edition that's due to air this winter 2018. Before we start running off these names, we want to say that none of these people have been officially confirmed to appear on the show. Some of them are just rumored to possibly be in talks to appear on the show, but no official decisions have been made by CBS. It does make sense that the network would actively be in talks right now with multiple celebrities as they're trying to get the season put together in time for a possible January or February 2018 premiere date. With all that said, the Christian Post is reporting that Skid Row front man Sebastian Bach is reportedly in talks with the show to possibly participate.

He faces an unusually tumultuous time, as the Academy confronts multiple challenges, from the industry’s transition to digital, and pressures from ABC to increase viewership of the Oscar show, to the need to raise more funding to build the troubled $400 million Academy Museum at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
