Cable network TruTV is adding Shaq to its development slate.
Execs have ordered a pilot of “Upload With Shaquille O’Neal” (working title), from the producers of “Tosh.0” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” that highlights the week’s top web videos and also gives O’Neal and friends the opportunity to create their own.

“Kourtney has always loved Mexico,” a friend of the soon-to-be mother of two tells In Touch:
While her rep denies the story, In Touch has learned she has selected Casa Aramara — the stunning estate on the outskirts of Puerta Vallarta, owned by Kardashian pal Joe Francis — as the venue for her wedding to Scott. “Her family has been friends with Joe or so long,” the friend adds.

On the inequalities in the world today:
“The natural law us that we should all have equal access, equal opportunity with the planet. But it seems the way that we’ve divided it up politically or economically, that is not the case.”
On his desire to change the world:
“I’m in a very, very amazing position, one of great opportunity and money and resources that I never thought I would have. And I find myself at times in Ethiopia with people who have nothing and it’s tough, it’s a wrestle.”
The singer’s got some foreclosure issues to that he’s got to deal with, says TMZ.
Here’s the deal: Even after the bank took his house and sold it, he’s still on the hook for $250,000 — this according to a new lawsuit.
PMI Mortgage filed the lawsuit against Sweat in Georgia — claiming the singer defaulted on a $450,000 mortgage on his Detroit home, which he purchased in 2004.

On becoming a super famous celebrity:
“I look at Kristen Stewart now and I think, ‘I’d never want to be that famous.’ I can’t imagine how I’d feel if all of a sudden my life was pandemonium.”
“In some ways, it’s a hard life, but it’s a great professional life. I’m doing what I love, and then I get months and months of rest. I have a lot of money for a 21-year-old. I can’t stand it when actors complain.”
On playing a bounty hunter in “One for The Money”:
“It was fun. It took some getting used to, doing these things, admittedly. We went to a range to practice shooting and it was exhilarating. I was actually a pretty decent shot. The character is from small-town New Jersey, brave and bold, but in over her head. That’s what makes you root for her.”
On whether she’s ever had contact with past lovers over the years:
“A year after high school I tried to get my high-school boyfriend to date me again. I had relocated from Connecticut to Los Angeles and was really striking out in the dating department. And I remember thinking, ‘My high-school sweetheart was kind of great. I wonder if he would take me back?’ But it didn’t work out [laughs]. Oh well. It worked out for me in the end.”
On whether she thinks that speaking her mind about the industry has ever weighed against her:
“Sometimes it has and sometimes it hasn’t. There was a minute when I was afraid to say anything at all. But in my mind there’s a difference between foot-in-mouth comments and being forthright. If I’m passionate about a subject, then I should be brave enough to talk about it honestly and not worry about people’s reactions. It’s never my intention to offend anyone, so when I have, I’ve been horrified.”
On if she thinks she’s thin-skinned or thick-skinned:
“Totally thin-skinned! I’m a big baby. I feel like men can sort of shrug their shoulders if people have a strong reaction to something they’ve said. Whereas I spent two years questioning everything about myself. Maybe I am ungrateful? Maybe I am too opinionated? So yes, I’m thin-skinned.”
On whether there’s anything that has surprised or challenged her about marriage:
“Well you can’t completely prepare for it. You don’t know what to expect until you’re in it. We didn’t live together before we got married because I was clinging to my ‘bachelorettedom’. It requires a lot more thoughtfulness than I had maybe realized. Communication can be difficult, and sometimes whatever you’re saying is not exactly what they’re hearing and that can start to breed resentment. You don’t even know it’s happening. Maybe one or the other is not feeling noticed enough or taken care of enough. You can love someone so intensely, and know they love you intensely, and still manage to completely f*** it up.”
Rappers Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane are being great peers and friends by footing the bill for a pricey funeral for murdered Atlanta rapper Slim Dunkin.
Born Mario Hamilton, the rapper was brutally gunned down Friday night inside an Atlanta recording studio after a verbal altercation with an unidentified man.
Reps for Waka and Gucci are bringing their money together to make sure Slim is laid to rest in style and class.

Lady Gaga on being proposed to after a breakup:
“How f***ing romantic. Sure, pop a ring on my finger and make it all better. I can buy myself a f***ing ring.”
Lady Gaga on her talent and relationships:
“If I go to the piano and write a quick song and play it back, they are angry with how fast and effortless it is. That’s who I am, and I don’t apologize for it. But it’s a hideous place to be in when someone that you love has convinced you that you will never be good enough for anyone. I had a man say to me, ‘You will die alone in a house bigger than you know, with all your money and hit records, and you will die alone.’”
Lady Gaga on moments of self-doubt:
“Even though I know it sounds a bit Hallmark, whenever I [was] in that kind of stressful, worthless moment, I would think, I’ll show you.’”
Lady Gaga on dating people who are intimidated by her:
“I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that what intimidates them is not my purse; it’s my mind.”
