Jenny McCarthy says she "has no hard feelings" toward Josh Groban after he ditched the taping of her new late-night talk show on VH1 last week. Groban was scheduled to be the first guest on the "The Jenny McCarthy Show" last Thursday. However, shortly after he came to the set of the show he left because he was reportedly offended by the sexy go-go dancers on the show.
"I was really surprised when Josh Groban left; I mean, it's not like he's going on 'Oprah's Favorite Things' -- it's 'The Jenny McCarthy show,'" Jenny's funny assistant, Michelle Buteau, told The Huffington Post. "It's laid-back, sexy fun -- and tits. What man wouldn't want to be a part of that?"
Jenny was forced to tape her first show without a first guest, but nonetheless her rep told the HuffPo that she "has no hard feelings and says Josh is welcome to come back anytime."
Michelle Buteau added that Jenny went on with the show without missing a beat. "Jenny was so amazing that night. She didn't even flinch -- she was a true professional. She thought quickly and pimped her sister," she said talking about Jenny's sister and makeup artist, JoJo. " With her drink in hand and not a hair out of place, home-girl started the show with the same amount of love and energy as she would have done with her original guest. You go girl."
Although some insiders say that Josh was upset after he saw the interview questions, which reportedly included, "What music do you listen to when you make love?" others argue that he was uncomfortable with the stripper poles and dancers on the show.
"I feel like -- even though Jay Leno is sexy and all -- I wanted to bring some sexy girls like you'd see in a nightclub," says McCarthy. "We have a bartender, a DJ, so I thought let's have some go-go dancers, dressed the same as you see in Vegas. Kind of cabaret style."
