If you haven't set your DVR for "Celebrity Wife Swap" on January 3rd already, you better get started.  ABC has just announced the  six celebrity pairings who
will try to learn what life is like in one another's shoes.

Cast List:
--Gary Busey will swap with Ted Haggard
--Tracey Gold will swap with Carnie Wilson
--Flavor Flav will swap with Dee Snider
--Mick Foley will swap with Antonio Sabato Jr.

The celebs will move into the other family's house and live that lifestyle before implementing their own rules later on in the week.

Hey Chuck fans! Linda Hamilton will return as Chuck's mama, Mary Bartowski, for the show's two-hour series finale, airing January 27th.

Jason Biggs will be guest starring on "The Good Wife" in February. He'll play a client of Lockhart Gardener. His character, also a lawyer, is being sued for
refusing to release the name of one of his clients.

According to Access Hollywood White House party crasher, Tareq Salahi has a crush on Kate Gosselin.  He evidently saw the mother of 8 on Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday and has asked for an introduction. (Does he know she has 8 kids?) Salahi's wife recently left him after running off with the guitar player from Journey, Neal Schon.

For the first time in 30 years, all the kids from the classic TV  show, "The Waltons" will reunite in Jersey City for the 40th anniversary of the TV movie that started it all, "The Homecoming." Judy Norton (Mary Ellen), Jon Walmsley (Jason), and Richard Thomas (John-Boy) - and seven other cast members are expected to attend a screening of "The Homecoming" at the Landmark Loew's Jersey Theatre in Jersey City tonight. Walmsley said this will be their first complete reunion in 30 years.

Season 19 of "The Amazing Race" is still airing but spies have discovered that season 20 is already underway, but you'll never guess who's running the race. You either hate them or love them...."Big Brother" couple, Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly, aka Brenchel. The pair met on season 12 of "Big Brother," got engaged and returned last summer for the 13th edition, which ended with Rachel taking the $500,000 prize.  Now they're racing around the world in hopes of winningthe million dollar prize.

Last Sunday on the premiere of "Kim and Kourtney Take New York" Kim whined when Kris accidentally stepped on her foot and broke her toe nail, but when "Celebrity Rehab" creator, Dr. Drew Pinsky saw Kim forcefully, with all her might, hit her husband on the arm, he called it domestic violence. "A lot of people watching this may not understand this. And I get that. It looks playful. What's the big deal? But it's a massive deal", says the doctor. "This is an incontrovertible piece of evidence of someone engaged in a domestic violence relationship." In the scene Pinsky pointed to, Humphries attempts to pick up Kardashian and in the process steps on her toe. Kardashian becomes enraged. Because Kardashian is a petite 5-foot-2 while Humphries is a giant 6-foot-9, the punch landed without so such of a grimmace, still, Pinsky says the footage is shocking.  Pinsky also takes issue with Kris saying it's not ok for him to just grab his wife and throw her on the bed.  "People minimize this stuff until it gets to the emergency room. Then they wonder what happened" he said.

Bob Marley's widow is suing one of her relatives for selling the family name to just about anyone who asks. Rita Marley and nine of Bob's kids filed a federal lawsuit against Richard Booker, Bob's half brother, for trademark infringement and unauthorized use of Marley's likeness. Apparently, Booker's been registering the trademark "Mama Marley" to sell fish, fish and chips, fish cakes, fish croquettes, fish fillets, fish mousse, and fish sausages. The suit also claims Booker is using Marley's name and image to market an annual concert in Miami.
Marley's family wants a judge to stop Booker from using the name and want him to turn over all his profits.

TMZ is reporting that Oneal Ron Morris, the fake doctor accused of injecting cement into her plastic surgery patients says all the allegations against her are false.  She has no idea why these women would lie ... and she's going to write a book about the whole ordeal. Morris says the accusers are ruining her life, and feels she'll prevail in the end.

In the wake of sex-abuse allegations levied against assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, Penn State University officials say they will increase transparency and ethical standards on campus and plan to donate $1.5 million in football bowl proceeds to a pair of sex-crime advocacy organizations. University President Rod Erickson promised the donation Thursday morning. The Big Ten bowl revenue, which usually goes back to the athletic department, will go to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

President Obama and his family lit the 89th annual National Christmas Tree Thursday night. Carson Daly hosted. Entertainment was provided by Big Time Rush, country singer Rodney Atkins and Kermit the Frog. The president urged the crowd to make this a season of giving by helping the homeless, the hungry and the sick and reaching out to those families who are struggling to work and provide for their families. After the tree-lighting, Kermit the Frog joined the first lady on stage to read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" to a group of children. Santa Claus was also there to make an appearance and celebrate, too.
