[Hammer:] Big news breaking tonight on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT is Whitney doing enough? Whitney Houston getting treatment again for drugs and alcohol. The SHOWBIZ TONIGHT great debate should Whitney be doing more to clean up her act? Fergie`s royal snub confession. The Duchess of York reveals to Oprah how she really felt about being dissed from the royal wedding
[Winfrey:] How hurtful was it to not be invited?
[Ferguson:] It was so difficult.
[Hammer:] But should we feel sorry for Sarah? That`s coming up.
[Announcer:] TV`s most provocative entertaining news show continues right now.
[Wendy Williams, Host, "the Wendy Williams Show":] Whitney, you need more than outpatient.
[Unidentified Female:] Yes, she does. I agree. I agree.
[Williams:] and furthermore, I`m going to tell you this right now, because I said it before, I don`t believe you were sober on "Oprah." I don`t believe that you went into rehab voluntarily this time. What I do believe is that, Whitney because I was watching "Inside Edition" yesterday no, walk with me on this one, OK? On "Inside Edition," they said that Whitney just signed on for "Waiting Exhale 2." Well, you know what happens with these Hollywood people. You have to be insurable.
[Unidentified Female:] That`s right.
[Williams:] You know, you have to be insurable and bankable. And nobody`s insuring this.
[Unidentified Female:] Right.
[Williams:] So clean it up.
[Hammer:] Wow, some tough love there. And Megan, you know, it`s fascinating that Wendy`s watching your show, "Inside Edition," to learn all about what`s going on with Whitney so she can talk about her on her show. The power of TV. Look, I think it`s great if Whitney Houston did check herself into rehab. It is an outpatient program, though. If she did this voluntarily, great for her, but do you think she`s doing enough?
[Megan Alexander, Correspondent, "inside Edition":] You know, when the announcement came down that Whitney had checked herself in for the third time into rehab, A.J., I was remembering what Rob Lowe said last week when he was promoting his book and asked, "How did rehab work for you? Why did it work for you?" And he said, "Because I wanted it to." We don`t know Whitney Houston`s mental state. We don`t know if she wants to get better. But I think it is ironic that, as she signed on to the film, "Waiting to Exhale 2," that she happens to conveniently check herself in. But A.J., this is my thought if anything can cause you to focus and point you in the right direction, I say more power to her. And if that film guides her down a healthy path, good for her.
[Hammer:] Yes, even if the motivations aren`t exactly the purest or what we think they should be, I agree. And I`m always happy to hear somebody getting the help whatever the reasons for that are. And Wendy Williams was referring, as you heard, to Whitney Houston`s 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey where she said that she`s done with drugs once and for all. Obviously, she still needs help. Again, I think this is just another step in Whitney`s personal journey, whatever the reasons for rehab. But Wendy Walsh, can we hold out hope that Whitney will clean up her act because this is a revolving door for her?
[Wendy Walsh, Tv Journalist And Doctor Of Psychology:] You know, we always have to hold out hope. I mean, addicts are able to overcome their illnesses. But then, they`ve got to sort of walk the tiger for the rest of their life. I know she said she`s done with drugs forever. But there are vulnerable things that happen at different times in somebody`s life where they can have a relapse. I`m glad, like you said, that she`s getting some help. I would like to see her like Wendy Williams said, I would like to see her be in residential treatment just because the statistical probability that she`ll get over it are greater. And I really, really want to see her do well and be a happy mother again. She`s 47 years old. It`s time. It`s time.
[Hammer:] And wow, when you think of a woman who is simply at the very top of her game, what a superstar and I think that`s why we all do hold out hope that she will get past whatever has been holding her back from just moving on and being well. Right now, I`ve got to move on to Sarah Ferguson`s royal wedding confessions. Now, Sarah`s daughters were invited to their cousin Prince William`s wedding. But Sarah she got snubbed. That was after her caught-on-tape drama, you remember, where she was allegedly trying to sell access to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew. Well, now, Sarah is revealing on "Oprah" how she really felt as the world watched William and Kate without her there.
[Winfrey:] How hurtful was it to not be invited?
[Ferguson:] It was so difficult because I wanted to be there with my girls and to be getting them dressed and to go with the family. And also, it was so hard because the last bride up that aisle was me and I knew all those feelings. I think Diana would be so proud of her son both of them. You know, they did a great job. And I sort of really love the feeling that sort of Diana and I both weren`t there but I was there I`m here to say how proud she would have been.
[Hammer:] Well, Sarah takes full blame, as you see, for the fact that she wasn`t invited. And she says she didn`t even feel worthy of an invite. Megan, I`ve always liked Sarah Ferguson. I was disappointed to see the drama that she went through with that caught-on-tape stuff involving her ex-husband. But do you feel a bit sorry for her? I do.
[Alexander:] I absolutely do and she is so likable, A.J. I love watching this interview because Sarah Ferguson gives us something that we don`t see often from the royal family warmth and feeling. And I think that`s because her and Diana were such good friends. We remember that video clip of them skiing and falling down, laughing together, and the fact that they both felt like outsiders. I think she would have brought a warmth to the wedding and been able to give us a perspective on what Diana would have felt
[Hammer:] Yes.
[Alexander:] That we really didn`t have. That`s the one thing that was missing at the wedding that she would have shown us. And family is family at the end of the day. I wish she would have been here.
[Hammer:] Well, here`s the thing, though, that I felt very interesting about what Sarah told Oprah. She said she loved the feeling that she and Princess Diana weren`t there at the wedding I guess a reference to the fact they were both outsiders. But Wendy, do you think maybe it was a little bit of an odd thing to say given, you know, obviously very different reasons why she and Princess Diana weren`t at the wedding?
[Walsh:] The truth is, what she`s doing is she`s bonding and she`s underscoring the camaraderie she had with Princess Diana. The two of them were young girls sometimes I call the "growing up" royals. We watched them kibitzing in front of the camera. I don`t know if you remember the time they were taking their umbrellas at some event and poking other people, and pretending they weren`t seen, even though the cameras were catching them. They you know, she cares a lot about Diana. She has a bond with her and she wanted to underscore that by the statement.
[Hammer:] Yes. And you cannot help but appreciate her absolute candor about everything that`s been going on. Megan Alexander, Wendy Walsh, I thank you both. We have big new Star Jones news breaking today, a reported brand-new Star battle with her ex. And it could cost her a lot of cash. Also, Beyonce`s big Billboard milestone. And a royal honeymoon revelation. Where in the world are William and Kate? Find out in "The Buzz Today."
[Bono:] It`s a process right now that she`s going through with becoming comfortable with me this way. It`s a big change.
[Hammer:] Tonight, we are asking, is it understandable that Cher`s having a hard time with this? Also this
