Drew Carey feels "really bad" that Bob Barker wasn't invited to appear on Tuesday's "The Price Is Right" 40th Anniversary Special. But he insisted in an interview with TMZ that the snub was unintentional and not the result of a feud between the show and its former host of 35 years.
"It wasn't because of animosity or anything like that ... nobody has anything against him ... it just didn't occur to anybody to invite him personally to be on the show because it was a salute to contestants," Carey told TMZ. "Everybody loves Bob Barker."
Barker spoke out about not being invited to the special in an interview with the AP on Tuesday, saying the show's producers "chose to ignore me, which is fine," while also noting that, "They haven't even offered me a DVD."

The Price Is Right celebrated its 40th anniversary this morning with a special episode that featured returning contestants from the past four decades– but Bob Barker, who hosted the show for 35 years, was nowhere to be seen. Barker tells The Associated Press the show’s producers “chose to ignore me, which is fine”.

Barker is shown in several clips, but was not invited to appear on the program or attend the taping. ”They haven’t even offered me a DVD,” Barker told the AP.

As the 2012 Calgary Stampede winds down, work continues on the Transcontinental Railroad, or at least the version being built in the fictional world of AMC's Sunday sophomore drama "Hell on Wheels."
"It's hot right now," says star Anson Mount, calling from the Alberta, Canada, city, "and we're dealing with the mass confusion that is Stampede."
Mount plays Cullen Bohannon, a former Confederate soldier trying to escape his haunted past. He has become attached to the traveling community of vice and corruption that follows the Union Pacific Railroad workers as they march across the country on the way to meeting the Central Pacific Railroad and linking the two coasts of the recently reunified nation.
Along the way, Bohannon has forged a link of his own with biracial emancipated slave Elam Ferguson (Common). They may have come from different worlds in the former Confederacy, but their fates are intertwined as the now...

The 'Glee' star wore glam Old-Hollywood inspired curls on set—take your cue from Lea's look with these styling tips! Lea Michele, 25, arrived on the Glee set for an April 25 taping with cute retro curls! The look is perfect for prom or a dressy date night. Even if you have super-straight strands, you can create tight curls with the right curling iron! To get thick ringlets like Lea, use a clip-less curling iron like T3 SinglePass Whirl. A clip-free iron ensures you get perfect curls without a dent in sight! To style: hold the wand perpendicular to the floor with the tip facing down. Start by the ear and wrap 3-inch sections of hair away from your face and around the barrel. Hold for 10 to 12 sections and then gently release the curl. Repeat this process until your hair is completely styled. Create a deep side part to get a retro feel.

Just days after speaking out against The Price Is Right’s recent promotion of the Calgary Stampede and Rodeo, iconic television host Bob Barker has fired off another letter on PETA’s behalf to the event’s main sponsors—including Bell Canada, General Motors of Canada Limited, Anheuser-Busch International, and TransAlta Corporation—to urge them to turn their backs on the notoriously violent and deadly rodeo.
In the letter, Barker points out that horses routinely die in the stampede—one had to be euthanized on the first day of last year’s spectacle, and six horses died in 2010’s event alone. Many more sustain painful injuries.
“The Calgary Stampede has long been synonymous with animal abuse,” writes Barker. “I hope you will agree that no animal deserves to suffer like this in the name of a tradition that should have died out with the covered wagon’s last ride. My...

Kate Middleton ended her and Prince William‘s Royal Tour of Canada on a high—and style-savvy—note Friday.
The Duchess was decked out in a satin-and-wool scarlet-colored—think bright red with a slight orange hue—coat-dress for her and William’s final stop of their nine-day tour: The Calgary Zoo.
The royal couple were taken by Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach and his wife Marie on a tour of the zoo’s Enmax Conservatory on St. George’s Island, located near downtown Calgary.
They walked through the conservatory’s Garden of Life, a pathway that winds among a variety of tropical plants, and the Premier highlighted some of the research, particularly aimed at protecting the environment.
Earlier in the day, the newlyweds took part in a parade for the Calgary Stampede, at which they donned jeans. Afterwards, they made a quick pit stop at their hotel, where Kate changed outfits.
