Carnie Wilson is speaking out about Howard Stern.
During her appearance on The Talk on Tuesday, the Wilson Phillips singer opened up about being fat shamed during a 1999 interview on Stern's show, just 9 weeks after she underwent gastric bypass surgery.
"I went to do The Howard Stern Show and when he was on E!, it was on camera,” Wilson shared. “So when I walked in, the producer Gary said, ‘Step over here and wait for Howard.’ Well I didn’t know this, but I was stepping on a scale. And I looked up and in red, big numbers, 233 lbs. showed up on this thing."
"I said, ‘Wait a minute?’ and I looked down and all I could think was ‘Howard, ready to shame me?’" she said. "They purposely did it.”

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival has unveiled its 2015 line-up which includes films representing 54 countries, 23 world premieres and 53 U.S. premieres. The U.S. premiere of Niki Caro’s McFarland USA will close out the 30th fest. Based on the 1987 true story and starring Kevin Costner and Maria Bello, the film follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in California’s farm-rich Central Valley, as they give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Costner), a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. The unlikely band of runners overcomes the odds to forge not only a championship cross-country team but an enduring legacy as well.
The festival runs from January 27-February 7.
Below is the list of World and U.S. Premiere films followed by the list of titles by sidebar categories.

A self-acknowledged "showcase for Academy Award frontrunners," the Santa Barbara International Film Festival is often overlooked for the actual films that earn it festival status. An amalgamation of international discoveries and ’merica’s circuit highlights, the Sbiff curates a week of best-of-the-best to pair with their star-praising. The 2015 edition offers another expansive selection, bookended by two films that aren’t on any radars just yet. Sbiff will open with "Desert Dancer," producer Richard Raymond’s directorial debut. Starring Reece Ritchie and Frieda Pinto, the drama follows a group of friends who wave off the harsh political climate of Iran’s 2009 presidential election in favor of forming a dance team, picking up moves from Michael Jackson, Gene Kelly and Rudolf Nureyev thanks to the magic of YouTube. The festival will close with "McFarland, USA," starring Kevin Costner and Maria Bello. Telling the 1987 true story of a Latino high school’s underdog cross-country team,...

The SyFy Channel, best known for its lack of proper vowels and dozens of so-bad-they're-good movies that cleanse Tk's palate after a good centipedeing. Naturally, they've decided to spin off that talent into the world of the big screen, where the budgets are bigger, the CGI's a bit better, and the gratuitous nudity doesn't have to be covered by any legal minimum of square centimeters.
A lot of press is spinning this from the angle of hoping that we get the "Battlestar" SyFy channel and not the "Sharktopus" SyFy channel. I disagree entirely. Look, the good big budget science fiction is going to get made no matter what. The good cheap indie science fiction is going to get made no matter what. But you know what gets left out? The quality B-movies. The fun, scenery chomping, unintentionally hilarious bits of science fiction that take just enough money to do that...

Do you have issues? Some people do when it comes to how women are portrayed in magazines. You make the call -- are these periodical covers sexy or sexist?
Top 10 Sexy (or Sexist) Magazine CoversSarah Palin's Leg Show
The former vice-presidential candidate isn't too happy about Newsweek "going rogue" by putting a picture of her, originally used for Runners World, on its November 23rd cover. Palin herself voiced her disapproval, criticizing the news magazine's choice as "out-of-context" and "sexist." Newsweek editor Jon Meacham defended his decision, saying it was "simply the most interesting image available."
Um, and he likes to sell magazines.

Update: Stern, Eroshevich and Kapoor are present in the courtroom this morning. Documents have been filed and, as predicted, there are now 11 felony complaints against Stern, including accusations of using a false name to score Smith drugs. The doctors already faced similar charges and all three maintained their not guilty pleas. The district attorney blamed a clerical omission on Stern's previously light charge count. In addition to the original charges, he now faces four counts of obtaining fraudulent prescriptions and one cout of prescribing, adminstering or dispensing controlled substances to an addict. "I think that the case against Howard K. Stern is weak because they are holding him...
