*VH1 has set April 11 for the season premiere of "What Chilli Wants," a new reality series that follows TLC's Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas of TLC as she searches for Mr. Right.

Based on the show teaser [seen below], Chilli has a long list of standards that has made her search rather difficult. Her dream guy must be "gorgeous, sensitive and charming," according to the 38-year-old singer, "and also a non-drinker, non-smoker and anti-pork."

Her buddies, including TLC's T-Boz and Missy Elliott, tell her that she'll never find a man unless she's willing to compromise on a few of her standards.

In January, VH1 held a casting call for men ages 25-40 "who have the sex appeal, personality, good looks, success and heart to date a major music artist who is looking to find her true love."

After 29 years, Barbara Walters has one final Oscar Night Special.

In the 29th and final "Barbara Walters Oscars Special," Mo'Nique opened up to Walters about her almost-four-year marriage to childhood friend Sidney Hicks.

Mo'Nique said it is an open marriage, which she defined for Walters as "no secrets."

"Open means, you know what, let me tell you my every secret, my fantasies, my thoughts, so that way, there are no surprises," Mo'Nique said.

When asked by Walters if the couple had sex outside of the marriage, Mo'Nique said: "Let me say this: I have not had sex outside of my marriage with Sidney. Could I have sex outside of my marriage with Sidney? Yes. Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That's not a deal-breaker."

Walters pressed: What if it happened more than once?

Mo'Nique: 'I'm Very Comfortable and Secure With My Husband'

"What if it's 20 times?" said Mo'Nique, who has twin boys with Hicks and a son from an earlier marriage. "That's not something that ... would make us say, 'Pack your things and let's end the marriage,' because we've been best friends for ... is it over 25 years? And we truly know who we are. Truly.

It's hard to believe it's been 30 years since Bern Nadette Stanis last suited up as Thelma on "Good Times."

The actress, now 56, says she continues to act whenever parts come along, but is also happy to indulge in her other pastime, writing books. Stanis is spending these days promoting her second tome, "Situations 101: Relationships, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

"I did 101 different [relationship] situations and my responses to each and every one of them," she explains, adding that the book is for both male and female readers.

"I love being an author, I dance, and you're gonna see, I am a painter," she says - to the shock of both EUR's Lee Bailey and her "Good Times" co-star Jimmie Walker, who was sitting next to her.

Stanis says she regularly paints in oils, and boasts that she's much better than her fictional older brother, who admits he can't paint a lick even though his character JJ was a talented "ar-teeste."

"I would say once a month, some guy comes up and says, 'I'm a painter, and I was inspired by your work,'" laughs Walker. "As we all know, Ernie Barnes did all of our paintings and he was fabulous. Unfortunately, Ernie's passed away, but I can't even do stick figures."

Whether it's painting, writing, dancing or acting, Stanis says her main focus is to just go with the flow. "I just keep doing things that I feel to do," she says. "Things keep evolving and I go with it."

Michael Jackson's family believes involuntary manslaughter charges against the pop singer's physician would be "just a slap on the wrist," attorney Brian Oxman said Wednesday.

Oxman told CBS' The Early Show that Dr. Conrad Murray displayed recklessness in dispensing powerful drugs to help Jackson sleep, warranting a second-degree murder charge. Involuntary manslaughter -- the charge prosecutors reportedly plan to seek -- carries a maximum jail sentence of just four years.

"That is just a slap on the wrist, and a slap in the face, because Michael Jackson was someone who we knew was in danger of being brought to his knees, brought his death, by the use of these medications," Oxman said.

Murray's attorney said the doctor is ready to surrender to authorities if prosecutors file charges. While there is no public timetable for charges to be filed against Murray, there are strong indications the move is imminent.

Murray, who has a practice in Houston, came to Los Angeles last weekend and spent Tuesday afternoon meeting with his newly assembled team of three lawyers. The district attorney's office has not said if it will file charges but lead defense attorney Ed Chernoff said Murray is ready for such a move.

"I haven't received any phone call from anybody asking for the doctor to surrender," Chernoff said. "If we get the call, we'll be happy to."

A law enforcement official last month told the AP that prosecutors had decided to seek a grand jury indictment on an involuntary manslaughter charge. On Tuesday, a second law enforcement official said prosecutors were sticking with the charge but planned to file a criminal complaint to avoid the appearance of secrecy in the closely watched case.

Both officials requested anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss the case.

David Walgren, the deputy Los Angeles County district attorney handling the case, declined to comment.

Jackson, 50, hired Murray to be his personal physician as he prepared for a strenuous series of comeback performances in London. His death on June 25 in Los Angeles came after Murray, tending to Jackson in the star's rented mansion, administered the powerful anesthetic propofol and two other sedatives to get the chronic insomniac to sleep, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office, which ruled the death a homicide.

Propofol is only supposed to be administered by an anesthesia professional in a medical setting. The patient requires constant monitoring because the drug depresses breathing and heart rate while also lowering blood pressure, a potentially deadly combination.

Murray, a cardiologist, has maintained from the outset that nothing he gave the singer should have killed him. Administering propofol to Jackson wasn't illegal, so prosecutors must show Murray deviated from accepted medical norms when he administered it in a non-medical setting while Jackson already had other sedatives in his system.

A criminal complaint would pave the way for a preliminary hearing in the case, where a judge would publicly hear evidence and decide if it should go to trial.

Such a hearing would provide a valuable glimpse into the strength of the government's case and could help Murray determine if he should negotiate with prosecutors for a plea deal, said criminal defense attorney Roger Rosen, who is not a part of the case.

"You get a flavor for what you are dealing with," he said.

Chernoff recently hired attorneys Joseph Low, who has worked in the media spotlight representing Marines accused of wrongful killings in Iraq, and J. Michael Flanagan, who represented Britney Spears in a hit-and-run case.

Los Angeles Police Department investigators spent months gathering evidence, with detectives talking to numerous medical experts to determine whether Murray's behavior, which included talking on his cellphone and leaving Jackson's bedside, fell outside the bounds of reasonable medical practice.

To bring a manslaughter charge, prosecutors must show there was a reckless action that created a risk of death or great bodily injury. If a doctor is aware of the risk, there might also be an issue of whether the patient knew that risk and decided to take it.

Murray was in dire financial shape when he signed on as Jackson's doctor, owing a total of at least $780,000 in judgments against him and other payments. Low declined to comment on what financial arrangements the lawyers had made to represent Murray.

The amount of claims levied against the estate of Michael Jackson totals more than $20 million, according to TMZ.

     The tally includes a $5 million claim from a memorabilia collector, a $1 million claim from someone who wants a cut of the "Thriller" music video, a $2.3 million claim from Dr. Tohme Tohme and a $1.5 million claim from a law firm.

     "That does not mean -- by any stretch -- the estate will pay all the claims," the site reported. "We're told some of them are patently bogus and lawyers for the estate will not pay, unless a judge orders them to ante up."

     Meanwhile, Michael's father Joe has subpoenaed medical and other records from the UCLA Medical Center in hopes the documents will reveal evidence of foul play in his son's death.

     "Joe's lawyer, Brian Oxman, sent two subpoenas to the UCLA Medical Center -- the hospital where Michael Jackson was pronounced dead on June 25," TMZ reported. Oxman is asking for a number of documents, including medical records, autopsy reports, autopsy photos, medications and prognosis assessments.

     Joe Jackson tells TMZ his entire family is behind the subpoenas, and that they all believe the medical records will show what was in Jackson's body when he died. They believe the information will expose foul play.

     Jackson's estate lawyers are reportedly outraged. TMZ reports, "We've obtained a letter sent to Oxman by estate lawyer Howard Weitzman, in which Weitzman calls the subpoenas 'clearly improper.' Weitzman claims the subpoenas violate Jackson's right of privacy and the physician/patient privilege. Weitzman also says the subpoenas are irrelevant to Joe Jackson's only legal claim -- a financial allowance."

*Both the New York Daily News and the New York Post have reported that Mary J. Blige hauled off and socked her husband Kendu Isaacs in front of guests at her album release party Tuesday night after accusing him of flirting with a woman.

      The reported punch in the face - which drew blood, according to the Post - went down at New York's M2 after Blige allegedly saw Kendu checking out one of the waitresses.

       "[Blige] turned to him and was screaming, 'You're not going to ruin my night,'" a witness told the Post. "They got up in each other's faces before someone tried to separate them, at which point she shoved the guy aside, pulled back and popped [Isaacs] in the face."       

       The source said Blige, Isaacs and their entourage were whisked through a door to the attached club Pink, which was closed. The witness continued, "She was yelling at him, 'What are you gonna do, Chris Brown me?' Four of her bodyguards and two of the club's kept them apart."       

       Isaacs, according to the Post, was tossed out of the venue, while Blige went to the ladies room to fix her hair and makeup. But she bounced soon after, leaving partygoers Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Busta Rhymes and others behind, according to the papers.       

       When asked to confirm the reports, Blige's rep, Karynne Tencer, told the Post, "People lie and don't know what they're talking about." When the Daily News asked for a comment, she referred to the incident as a "misunderstanding" and said Blige's marriage is as strong as ever.       

       "They're as happy as can be," said Tencer. "They're spending the holidays together with their three children. Everything's great."

      Well in that case we truly want to wish the couple a very Merry Christmas and a HAPPY New Year.

Elin Nordegren, the wife of Tiger Woods, will seek a divorce, ABC News.com is reporting.

A source close to Nordegren told the Web site on Wednesday that a "divorce is 100 percent on."

Nordegren was recently photographed pumping gas without her wedding ring.

Woods and his wife have been married for five years and have a 2-year-old daughter and a 10-month-old son.

Woods announced late last week he was taking an indefinite leave from public life and golf while he works to fix his marriage after multiple allegations of infidelity.

The announcement came two weeks after Woods crashed his SUV into a tree outside his Florida home, setting in motion a stunning downfall for the world's No. 1 player, who for 13 years rarely made news off the golf course. One woman who said she had a 31-month affair with Woods shared a voice mail that she said Woods left her two nights before his Nov. 27 accident.

"I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children," Woods said in a statement released last week. "I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try."

Woods has not been seen in public since the accident.

Tyler Perry is thanking fans for their prayers following the death of his mother Tuesday at age 64.

      "Willie Maxine Perry. February 12, 1945 to December 8, 2009. Thank you for all your prayers," read a message on Perry's Web site Tuesday. No further information was given regarding the circumstances of her death.

      Maxine Perry was a preschool teacher who worked at the New Orleans Jewish Community Center for most of her life, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Tyler Perry, 40, has credited her as the inspiration for his most popular character, Madea.

      Perry recently recounted details of his troubled childhood, including how his mother tried and failed to leave his abusive father.

      He talked about the joy of spoiling his mom financially during last night's primetime interview with Barbara Walters for her "10 Most Fascinating People" special.
