Dorthe Skappel Biography

Dorthe Skappel is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on December 18, 1962 in Oslo, Norway. Dorthe Skappel (born 18 December 1962) is a Norwegian television personality, journalist, celebutante and former model, probably best known for hosting God kveld, Norge! and Gullruten on TV2.

In 2007, Skappel was contracted to star in the Norwegian version of Dancing with the Stars, except it included dancing on ice skates and it was called Isdans, Norwegian for “Ice dance”. She received critical acclaim for her performances, but on 4 May Skappel had an accident when she fell head first onto the ice while training with her partner. She was hospitalized with minor injuries and received bruises across her face, but has since recovered from the accident. Eventually, Skappel finished in fourth place. In 2008, Skappel sparked both fame and controversy when she recorded her first music video, in which she is seen rapping and “cursing” towards known Norwegian celebrities, and even her own television network, as the video was entitled “Fuck TV2”. The song then became huge a hit, as it entered the official top 20-list at VG within the first week. However, the video itself was censored by TV2 and subsequently uploaded on YouTube onto various channels, where they have altogether garnered about 100,000 viewers. Although Skappel raised controversy over the video, most fans, including most of the celebrities who were “cursed” at, applauded her rapping. Later that year, Skappel interviewed Gerard Butler regarding the release of RocknRolla, a film written and directed by Guy Ritchie. Since Alexander Rybak won the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, Skappel has expressed interest in presenting the next contest ceremony, which will be held in Norway in 2010.

On 5 January 2010 TV 2 reported that Maria Skappel gave birth to a daughter, culminating in Dorthe Skappel becoming a grandmother at the age of 47.

Since 2006 Skappel, along with fellow Norwegian entertainers Tone Damli Aaberge, Pia Tjelta and Mia Gundersen, has fought an ongoing legal battle concerning an online pornography web site, which illegally contains nude photos and images of Skappel, Aaberge and Gundersen among others. The publishing of the images on the web site attracted widespread media attention, but Skappel has since claimed these to be fake and manipulated through digital technology. The site was reportedly operated by Bjørn-Endre Andersen, in addition to a number of similar web pages being operated in his name both domestically and abroad, but thus far neither the Norwegian National Authority for the Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (Økokrim) or the National Criminal Investigation Service, have concluded a successful investigation, citing the lack of evidence.
