Celebrity Gossip: 2010

Jessica Simpson: BETRAYED By Eric Johnson!

Life & Style is turning back the clock to 2005.
Having built quite a reputation shredding Jessica Simpson and her ex-husband Nick Lachey back then, imagine how pumped this tabloid is to have her engaged again! Imagine what shocking betrayals they can have Eric Johnson commit!

If a star is betrayed, and no one buys the issue, is it even true?

Despite the dramatic headline that makes you think Eric cheated, the meat of the story (very lean meat at that) is that she's just "discovered Eric’s secret past."
This runs counter to the main headline, but whatever. The details of what he did that's so bad? He studied how to snag a rich woman. He's a freeloader. Snooze.
Also, she's hot if nothing else, and this is one of the worst Jessica Simpson pictures ever. Why not show some cleave? Or a picture with the betrayer himself?
After they tried to make Jessica pregnant last week, this is two straight bombs, L&S. Do us a favor and step it up next week. Third time's the charm, baby.

Report: Aretha Franklin Has Pancreatic Cancer

After a mystery illness prompted her to cancel all upcoming events and undergo surgery last week, Aretha Franklin offered very few details to the media.
Now reports say the Queen of Soul is suffering from pancreatic cancer.
A source familiar with the situation told The Detroit News about Franklin's condition. Detroit's Fox 2 news also attributing that information to a relative.

Aretha Franklin has not confirmed reports of her diagnosis.

The National Enquirer posted a story on the music legend's reported illness earlier, prompting some of the speculation regarding the Queen of Soul.
Last month, Franklin announced she was canceling all concerts and appearances through May on the orders of her doctors, but did not elaborate.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Wednesday that he's visited with Franklin four or five times recently and said she is "recovering very well" from surgery.
He says the 68-year-old Franklin takes daily walks up and down the hall of her hospital, and that her spirits "are high and her faith is strong."
Hopefully she recovers swiftly and fully from whatever ails her.

American Idol to Make Like Big Brother?

A pair of new judges and the elimination of the top 24 round is reportedly not enough change for American Idol.
The show is contemplating something much bigger.
As detailed by The Hollywood Reporter, producers are emphasizing the theme of "transparency" this season. As such, they are seriously thinking about going all Big Brother on viewers: filming the interactions of finalists that reside together in a Los Angeles home.

Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson

Other changes being considered: allowing the contestants to use Twitter throughout the season; taking the finalists on a road trip to Las Vegas and somehow integrating them with Cirque du Soleil's Beatles-inspired show.

But let's get back to the concept of an American Idol top 12 house. Think this is a good idea?

Luke Scott Slams Barack Obama, Hopes to Slug .600

Barack Obama likely won't be selecting Baltimore Orioles first baseman Luke Scott in his baseball fantasy draft next season.
The power-hitting lefty gave a lengthy interview to Yahoo today in which he touched on the topics of hunting, guns... and the integrity of President Obama.
"Obama does not represent America," Scott said. "Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here. It's not that you're supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven't. That kills a country. It killed Russia."

Even if it were about being born here, Scott believes Obama would not be representative of the country, saying:

"[Obama] was not born here. That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything."

Ronni Chasen Murderer Acted Alone, Police Conclude

The Ronni Chasen murder case is nearly closed.
Chasen, a Hollywood publicist, was gunned down on November 16, shortly after leaving a premiere party in honor of the film Burlesque.

On December 1, ballistics tests matched the gun Harold Martin Smith used to kill himself with the one used to kill Chasin.
This evidence, combined with a neighbor who claimed Smith had bragged about murdering Chasen, led police to believe a professional hit was put on the publicist. But a subsequent investigation has authorities stating otherwise.
Det. Sgt. Mike Publicker said cops think this was a "random act of violence," a case of a "robbery gone bad."
"Interviews we've conducted lead us to believe [Smith] was in a desperate point in his life," Publicker added. "We believe he intended to rob her. We don't believe he was a paid hitman."
Beverly Hills Police Chief David Snowden repeated this sentiment in a press conference with reporters this afternoon. He said the investigation remains open, however, and is approximately 60-70 percent complete.

Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz: Back On?

A month after parting ways, are Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez back on? It looks like it after they were spotted getting cozy over dinner in West Hollywood.
"They looked super couple-y," an insider told Us about the actress and New York Yankees slugger. "Cameron was holding his hand and kept nuzzling him."
Friends say the reconciliation shouldn't come as a surprise.

CAMROD: Are Rodriguez and Diaz back together?

"They break up and get back together all the time," notes a source close to Diaz and A-Rod, who parted ways in October because "they needed some space."
Maybe they got too much space and couldn't resist each other?
While the actress was recently linked with Glee star Matthew Morrison - the two hung out at L.A. lounge Bardot - that fling has since sizzled, so stay tuned!

Kate Gosselin on Troubled Kids: The Pressure is Getting to Them!

In the wake of two of her children getting expelled from school, Kate Gosselin went on record, discussing the situation personally for the first time with ET.
Asked if Collin and Alexis Gosselin were in fact expelled, she said, "Two of my kids, no, are being tutored at home, with a teacher who is working closely with our kindergarten teachers in school, doing the identical curriculum."
So basically ... they were kicked out.

Kate says life in the spotlight is hard for the kids.

The-recently divorced reality star says that, "All the pressure was getting to them," explaining, "You have a lot of the divorce anger mixed in with that."
"The goal is to get them back into school as soon as possible," she adds.
But will their deep-rooted rage issues and bullying tendencies subside?
Kate also discussed the rumor that her upcoming TLC show, Twist of Kate, had been canceled. Kate says that no, "We're sort of still trying to shape it [into] what it needs, what is going to be fun. So no, it's not canceled."
Fortunately for the kids, Thanksgiving came and went without incident.
"We were able to work out the holiday time peacefully," she said of splitting time with her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin. "So I had the first half, he had the second half, and, we just take it year by year, and holiday by holiday."
Kate and the kids appear on a Kate Plus Eight special Sunday on TLC.
So it goes for the diva facing financial ruin ...

Michael Brea Admits to Killing "Demon" Inside Mother, Provides Chilling Details of Crime

Actor Michael Brea gave a chilling interview to The New York Daily News today.
The small-time thespian, who was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly killing his mother with a three-foot sword, opened up to the newspaper and said "I didn't kill her. I killed the demon inside her."

Before ending the life of 55-year old Yannick Brea, Michael said a number of visions gave him no choice.
"I was sleeping in my bedroom. God came above my bed and reached his arm to me. I said, 'God, is my time on earth over?' I heard a voice say, 'Yes Michael, today is your last day.'"
The actor also said a man put a curse on him at Prince Hall Masonic Temple in Harlem and that strangers came up to him on a subway ride to Brooklyn:
"I felt like Neo from The Matrix. I began hearing voices and feeling powerful. They were asking about the difference between mom and mother. It was a sign."
Brea went on to detail Tuesday evening: he arrived home in Prospect Heights and hugged his mom because "I knew I would never see her again." He subsequently entered his bedroom and lit candles before putting a dagger and a ceremonial Freemason sword by his side.
When he went into the kitchen, he claims Yannick "had the voice of the demon. I opened the door with the dagger at my side and the sword. I asked, 'Do you believe in God?' She said, 'No, Michael no,' and began screaming. I began slashing her like this," the actor outlined, while slamming his right hand down in a violent hacking motion.
"I didn't want to kill her right away," he said. "I wanted to give her time to get right with God... I just kept cutting her. No one could stop me. I was doing the work of God."
When police arrived on the scene, there was blood everywhere and Yannick was on her knees in the bathroom. Brea stood with the sword in one hand and Masonic Bible in the other.
He says he has no remorse over the crime.

Matthew Rutler: A Risky Rebound for Christina Aguilera?

Christina Aguilera has rebounded quickly from her recent divorce.
The singer has been spotted out with Matthew Rutler, a production assistant and a guitarist in the Nate Mott Band. The two met on the set of Burlesque in February and quickly bonded - much to the chagrin of friends.
“Christina is completely taken with Matthew," a source tells Star. "But he’s a wild rocker type with a reputation as a ladies’ man."

An insider says Rutler is in "heaven" because he's dating a celebrity.

“He networks like crazy with all the big names she introduces him to. He’s a major operator. And everything is on her dime, because he’s broke. Matt used to live in a crummy apartment with roommates; now he’s at her Beverly Hills mansion every night."

While pals worry that this relationship is "too much, too soon" for Christina, she isn't letting any personal issues affect her work. Check out a series of recent performance by Aguilera in her THG video section.

Thanksgiving Couple Sightings: Swiftenhaal, Kimbriel and More!

For many celebrities this year, Thanksgiving was a time for turkey, pumpkin pie... and romance!
For example, while NBC aired a special in her honor Thursday night, Taylor Swift spent the holiday with new man toy Jake Gyllenhaal. They went for coffee in Brooklyn around 10:30 that morning and "were really really sweet," said a witness.

Elsewhere...

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green snapped a picture of themselves at Disney World.
Glee star Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer partied at Groucho club in London.
Kim Kardashian and Gabriel Aubry hung out together in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.
Lindsay Lohan dined with Samanta Ronson at the latter's apartment.

Kanye West: Taylor Swift Should've Stuck Up for Me!

Taylor Swift, Kanye West ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

Why would Taylor Swift ever stand up for Kanye West?!
Leave it to the ego-inflated rapper to insist, during an on-stage rant last night, that the country cutie should have had Kanye's back after his infamous 2009 VMA outburst:

"Taylor never came to my defense in any interview and [she] rode the wave, and rode it and rode it!" he said during a rambling onstage rant last night at New York's Bowery Ballroom.
Huh? Yeah, we don't get it either.
West also blasted the media for how he believes it "exploited" George W. Bush's recent comment about the rapper. The former president said that West accusing him of not caring about African-Americans during Hurricane Katrina was one of his lowest points while in office.
"Look at how they exploited him," he ranted. "They said that he said that was his lowest moment. And as a mass, as America, we took that as a fact.
"If you look at the interview, he said, 'It's one of his lowest moments,' and he said it about 10 different things," West griped.
"But because the popularity of me, they exploited that to make you watch the interview and make you feel that he was stupider than ever...It shows you the way they try to villainize."

Paris Hilton’s Hair-Raising Battle Continues

AP Photo/Mark Damon

This is how rich people say, "I know you are, but what am I?"
Paris Hilton is countersuing the hair extension company that is suing her for $35 million, demanding $3 million for fraud, breach-of-contract and inappropriately trading on that famous Hilton name.
Does the heiress' case have roots, or is it all a tease?

Hairtech International sued Paris in August, claiming she wore a competitor's hair extensions and breached her contact by skipping promotional appearances, albeit because she was in jail.
Paris' complaint says Hairtech's story is "born of pure fiction" and alleges that the company exploited her celebrity status. Her filing includes a letter from a colleague of plaintiff Chris Volek's, in which the colleague states that Volek and others at Hairtech have "left a trail of complaints and defrauded victims in their wake."
In various emails, Volek called Hilton "truly amazing," "sensational" and "freaking Stunning [sic]," according to Paris' filing.
Hairtech "sought to capitalize on Ms. Hilton's brand and fame by offering to pay substantial 'guaranteed' royalties in exchange for the right to associate Ms. Hilton's brand with their line of hair products," the suit alleges.
The heiress claims Hairtech failed to pay "in excess of $1.7 million," going so far as to commit "fraud by secretly altering documents presented to Ms. Hilton's company for signature."
All in all, Ms. Hilton is asking for $2.1 million in damages, at least $400,000 in punitive damages and attorney fees, and $500,000 in declaratory relief.

Bitch Stole My Look: Anna Wintour vs. Carey Mulligan

Neil Rasmus/BFA/Sipa Press; David X Prutting/BFAnyc/Sipa Press

The devil (aka Anna Wintour) wears Lanvin and we're guessing she doesn't like to share. But that doesn't stop Carey Mulligan from copying her look.
Vogue's editor-in-chief (and the inspiration behind The Devil Wears Prada) wore this sleeveless animal-print frock at the Michael Kors show in New York two months ago. She completed her look with metallic kitten heels and a colorful beaded necklace.
Then just last week, Hollywood's fresh-faced fashionista wore the designer dress above the knee for Google's Boutiques.com launch party, pairing the printed number with a black clutch, bib necklace and brown YSL pumps.
So who wears it best, the perfectly put-together editrix (who eats the competition for breakfast) or the fearless ingénue and her quirkier sense of style?

THG Presents: The 10 Biggest Turkeys of 2010

Happy Thanksgiving to all from The Hollywood Gossip!
What would this holiday be without family, food, football and reflection upon the things we appreciate most ... in the case of THG, that means some of the bird-brained celebs we've had the privilege of covering in the past year.
Without further ado, THG's Top 10 Turkeys of '10 ...

We may rename this the Spencer Pratt Thanksgiving Turkey Award.

10. Barack Obama. The good will and immense popularity enjoyed by the President at the start of his White House term eroded fast, leaving in its wake a deeply polarized electorate and a Congress destined for partisan gridlock.

9. Jake Pavelka. Lame stints on The Bachelorette, The Bachelor and DWTS were enough to overcook this turkey, but his televised breakup special with fake fiancee Vienna Girardi was the year's reality TV douchepocalypse.
8. The Kardashians. Sure, they're harmless, but there's so darn many of these girls. Mix in a hearty helping of Scott Disick and we're just burned out.
7. LeBron James. The NBA's best player, who has never won a title, made this summer all about him and his decision on where to play next year. A "decision" that marked the most absurd, narcissistic, self-serving stunts in sports history.
6. Spencer Pratt. He's fallen off from 2008's Top Turkey status, but he's got staying power. Faking a divorce, getting married for a third time in as many years, blowing through $10 million and turning into a mountain man? Impressive.
5. Dancing With the Stars voters. Bristol Palin? Seriously people?
4. Lindsay Lohan. The definition of train wreck. Second only to ...
3. Charlie Sheen. His violent altercation with wife Brooke Mueller last Christmas combined with Capri Anderson dalliances this fall? Quite a year for Charlie.
2. Mel Gibson. Why? Just listen to his rants. Wow.
1. Tiger Woods. Today, or more accurately early tomorrow morning, is the anniversary of Tiger's car (and image) crash, following a blowout with Elin Nordegren, who learned of his affair with Rachel Uchitel and took a 9-iron to his face.
The months that followed revealed additional mistresses, worried voicemails, nasty text messages, sordid fantasies, ridiculous rumors and bad golf. It's a scandal that may never be equaled, and certainly worthy of Top Turkey billing.

If nothing else ... Tiger Woods' Thanksgiving can't be worse than last year's.

Michael Lohan: Lindsay Wasn't Fired, She Quit!

Michael Lohan is slamming the director of Inferno, Matthew Wilder, for lying about firing Lindsay from the lead role in his upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic.
Celebuzz talked to Michael who claims that, in no uncertain terms, "Lindsay left Inferno. Wilder can shove it up his butt. She didn't want to do that movie."
"He's full of it. He was trying to ride our coattails."

ADVENTURES OF MILO: Today's task? Defend daughter's name!

Lindsay Lohan's highly-anticipated lead role in Inferno had been in limbo after failing drug tests, spending a few weeks in jail and landing in rehab indefinitely.
This caused shooting to be delayed, at which point Wilder said he let Lohan go and replaced her with Malin Akerman. It made sense ... but MiLo's crying foul.
"She doesn't need to do a movie like that," Michael Lohan said. "Give me a break. What a great thing to do for a girl that's going through recovery."
"Put her in a position to act in a position where she's a drug addict. Real genius, and he cares, right? Come on. Biggest hypocrite on the planet."
"If he wants to say he fired my daughter, let him say to to my face."
Your move, Wilder.

Ke$ha Ain't Going Nowhere!

She doesn't have the best singing voice around - as evidenced by this AMA performance - but Ke$ha has a message for critics in the latest issue of Complex: She ain't going nowhere!
And while she's sticking around the music business, she might as well do so on roller skates...

In an interview with Complex, Ke$ha touches on everything from being turned on by pocket change to being compared to Lady Gaga. Read a few excerpts below:

What turns you on that people would find bizarre?
A bag full of quarters.

Is there a specific type of beard that you're into?
I like the rugged, mountain-man beard, personally. I won't discriminate, but my favorite kind of beard is one that could potentially be a homeless beard. Like, you actually have to discover if they're un-groomed for a reason. I like a really unkempt beard.

Are you tired of the comparisons people draw between you, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry?
I actually think that's cool. Out of that group of chicks, I'm the new bitch on the block, so I'm still getting used to being compared to some of the biggest pop stars in the world, but I don't take any offense to it. That just means people know my records.

Rihanna Wants (Male) Kids With Matt Kemp

Is Rihanna ready to settle down?
In the December issue of Interview, Kanye West interviews the singer, who is much happier these days, and hints that motherhood may be on the horizon.
"It could be a year from now," she said. Seriously?

MOTHER-TO-BE: Rihanna is, just not anytime soon ... probably.

Of course, "It could be 10 years from now. Whenever is right, I don't really plan the age," Rihanna tells the magazine. "I mean, I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I think about kids. Whenever the time is right, I'll just know."
This much is certain: the pop star has found a great match in L.A. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp in January, and wants an all-male household with him.
"If I had a girl, she'd probably be really rebellious," the singer laughs, alluding to her Good Girl Gone Bad ways. "She would be like a bundle of karma."
As for where she would raise her brood, Rihanna says she "would love to bring them up in Barbados," though her job may prevent that from happening.
"I can't live that far away from everything now, without kids," she explains. "I certainly couldn't raise kids and [have a career] with the schedule I have."
She's 22, fortunately, so she's got time.

Michael Brea: Charged with Gruesome Murder

Michael Brea has officially been charged with as gruesome a crime as one can commit.
The small-time actor was discovered inside his Brooklyn apartment yesterday morning, covered in blood, clutching a bible and standing near the bathroom where police found his 55-year old mother's dead body. Reports indicate Yannick Brea had severe cuts on her head, countering sources who originally claimed she was decapitated.
Police had to subdue Michael with a taser.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told The Associated Press that officers found the 31-year old actor - who appeared in Step-Up 3D - "in a bedroom... with a 3-foot sword."

After undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at a Brooklyn hospital, Brea was arrested on charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

UPDATE: Neighbors tell The New York Daily News they heard Brea screaming at his mother "Sinner! Sinner! You never accepted Jesus!" around the time of the alleged attack.

Kate Gosselin Now Home-Schooling Troubled Kids

Jon and Kate Gosselin's troubled kids Collin and Alexis are reportedly "doing a lot better" since their surprising, recent expulsion from private school.
The six-year-olds were booted out of their Pennsylvania school and are currently being home-schooled by their famous (and controversial) mom.
Kate was forced to take over after Collin and Alexis' rage issues, including incidents of violence and bullying, continued to spiral out of control.

BEFORE THE RAGE: Collin and Alexis is simpler times.

The expulsion was a wake-up call for Kate, who is working to get their behavioral issues under control and providea more structured environment at home.
"The two kids are doing a lot better. It seems like they are happier now that they are receiving more attention to meet their needs," a source told Radar.
"Both Collin and Alexis are happy they are enjoying spending more time with their mother and also with (their dog) Shoka now that he has returned."
Kate and Jon Gosselin are on the same page when it comes to Collin and Alexis' structure for schoolwork and are directly addressing behavioral issues.
Jon and Kate hope that the troubled pair can even return to the same school next year to rejoin their brothers and sisters if things keep improving.
The kids' issues sparked fresh criticism over whether living their lives on TLC TV shows is hurting their development and causing behavioral woes.
Jon certainly believes it does, pleading with Kate to end it.
TLC and Kate have no such intentions of pulling the plug.
They're putting their differences aside now, though: "Jon and Kate are working to share time with the kids at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's."

Lily Allen: Engaged to Sam Cooper?

Is Lily Allen engaged to her boyfriend, Sam Cooper?
That's the rumor going around, just weeks after tragically losing her baby six months into her pregnancy. Now magazine claims Cooper popped the question.
A friend of Allen's told the publication: "Everyone's so proud of Lily. She's made a list of how to get through what can only be described as a horrible tragedy."

Engaged or not, Lily Allen and Sam Cooper sure are happy.

"This is the most awful situation in the world and she's aware that nothing can take away the hurt she feels at losing her and Sam's baby."
"Last week, Sam told Lily he can't live without her and wants to go ahead with the wedding plans. This has given her a major boost."
So are they getting married or not?
Allen, who was also admitted to the hospital with a blood condition shortly after losing her first child, has said that she needs "time to heal."
"He's been very supportive but he's hurting like hell as too, so they had a long heart-to-heart and have planned a holiday somewhere quiet."
They added: "Lily's a fighter and says if she can get through this, she can get through anything." So basically, we have no clue if she is.
Either way, we wish the singer the best.

Kat Von D Loses Cat, Home in Fire

Kat Von D's life just went up in smoke.
The outspoken tattoo artist is mourning the loss of her cat Valentine, whom she lost in a house fire. "R.I.P. my little Valentine," she tweeted Sunday.
That's so sad, not to mention scary. The L.A. Fire department was called and arrived at 11:23 p.m. Sunday to battle what was a very strong blaze.

The cause of Kat Von D's house fire is still under investigation.

"Fire fighters encountered heavy fire with extreme smoke but they were able to knock down the fire," the captain said. "There was no one home."
"My house burned down last night with my cat inside," Von D, who has been dating Jesse James since August, explained early Monday morning.
"Finally get to sleep away the rest of today. Hope tomorrow is gentler," the L.A. Ink star said. "To gain everything, you must lose everything."
Good to see she's staying strong through this.

Angelina Jolie Will NOT Celebrate Thanksgiving!

Millions will delight in Thanksgiving festivities tomorrow. Angelina Jolie is not one of them, electing not to commemorate the genocide of Native Americans.
"Angelina Jolie absolutely hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans," a friend of the actress tells PopEater.
Valid point, but pumpkin pie just tastes so good ...

NO THANKS-GIVING: Angelina Jolie is not a fan!

"To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn't her style," the friend says. "[Jolie] doesn't want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder."
Not sure how many of us toast to murder at the dinner table on this day, but she prefers to think of herself as a citizen of the world, not just America.
Always extremely sensitive to suffering throughout the world, she's going to great lengths to make sure the Jolie-Pitt brood doesn't honor it here.
"Angelina gets so grossed out by Thanksgiving that she has made sure her family will not be in America this year on Thursday," an insider reports.
While Brad Pitt recently told Extra, "We'll whip up a turkey somewhere," a family friend tells me, "If Brad wants turkey, he'll have to cook it himself."
Well, that would likely be the case whether they observe the day or not. Dude is so annoying when he eats, you know she makes him do the work.

Willow Palin Lambasts Media, Praises Bristol

Willow Palin is not happy with the media. Must run in the family.
A week after her big sister, Bristol Palin, apologized for Willow's use of a gay slur on Facebook, the 16-year-old spawn of Sarah is sounding off solo.
In a statement to E!, Willow goes off on Facebook haters, scandalous "lies" in Life & Style and Bristol's run to the Dancing With the Stars finale.

Bristol, Sarah, Trig and Willow Palin with He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.

"Today I am focusing on a special event - Bristol and Mark [Ballas]'s appearance in the Dancing With the Stars finals. Nothing will take away how proud we are of Bristol and her grit and determination that got her this far," says Willow Palin.
Then her attention turned to the "ridiculous" reports, namely a Life & Style story painting the wild child as a crazy, vodka-chugging drug dealer.
"It is disappointing to see people claim they know me to sell stories," she said.
"As for people accusing me of being at a party over a year ago, the accusations are ridiculous. The same people saying this were also the ones attacking my family on Facebook. Unfortunately some people have learned that there are publications that will pay money for stories, no matter how misleading."
"Nevertheless, I recognize that my family has been given a great honor and privilege to make a difference in this country, and even though I am just 16, more is expected of me," she continues. "That being said, I say this to Bristol and Mark (with a hat tip to Lady Gaga) - Just Dance!"
Awwww.
Notice she left out the bit about slinging dope in a Target parking lot. Eh eh? Just kidding. We're sure that didn't happen. Actually we're not sure, it very well may have. But you can't trust anything that Life & Style says either.

David Arquette: One Wild and Craaaazy Guy!

David Arquette has not lost it, people.
The actor may have been out partying all of last weekend and may have placed some misguided phone calls to Howard Stern, but the recently-separated actor explained why during an appearance on Lopez Tonight yesterday: that's just who he is.

"I've always been a wild man," he told the host. "My nickname was 'David Good Times.' I like running around, having fun... I like meeting people. I did that privately for a long time because I wasn't ever going out. Now, I'm in the nightclub business. I'm going out."
The modest actor also said he didn't care at all about what tabloids wrote.
"I am a fun-loving, great person," Arquette said. "I refuse to let these magazines vilify me, make me a demon. I am one of the best people you'll ever meet."

Tiger Woods: Creepin' on Random Hoes!

They say a Tiger can't change his stripes. Well, a year after Tiger Woods' infamous Thanksgiving weekend car wreck, which revealed his affair with Rachel Uchitel and ignited a mammoth sex scandal, the golfer is up to his old tricks.
No, not Joslyn James and Devon James. But similar tricks.
"He's seeing random girls, creeping around in a low-key way," Us Weekly quotes an alleged Tiger insider as saying. "I don't think you can call it 'dating.'"

PROWLIN'! Tiger is supposedly in the hunt (for tail) once again.

So basically, dude's on the prowl for cocktail waitresses all over Florida, but it's hard to call it dating when you get kicked out of the house at 6:30 a.m.
Oddly, this bogus report goes on to reveal Tiger's actual plans for Thursday one paragraph later: "The kids and his mom will join him for Thanksgiving."
His ex-wife Elin Nordegren, meanwhile, is "not dating, but is in great spirits," the source adds. Well, that's good to hear ... $110 million has to help.

Jennifer Grey Reflects on "Unbelievable" Dancing With the Stars Win

After having four neck surgeries and waging a fight against cancer, Jennifer Grey "didn't even think about winning" when Dancing With the Stars began.
When she was handed the Mirror Ball trophy Tuesday, the health woes the 50-year-old battled made it even sweeter. "This is so unbelievable," she said.
"I feel so grateful, so blessed, that I had this opportunity. I don't know that there's any experience that will ever be anything like this again."

Derek Hough, Jennifer Grey Picture ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough are this season's champions.

Grey's title was effectively sealed 10 minutes before the big reveal, when lightning rod finalist Bristol Palin was named the season's third-place finisher.
It came down to Jennifer and Kyle Massey, who she bested with two perfect scores Monday, and whose fan support wasn't expected to match Bristol's.
After weeks of debate about Palin's staying power thanks to an active fan base, in the end it was not quite enough to deny Jennifer what was hers.
Kyle Massey and partner Lacey Schwimmer knew it too.
"We didn't think we'd make it past the first week, so to make it to the finals and to place second behind Jennifer and Derek, who got perfect scores, means we were pretty close to perfection," Massey said after the show.
"Jennifer deserved to win. America got it right."
With partner Hough's help, Grey slowly made her way around the ballroom after the show to talk to the press with a ruptured disc in her lower back.
She sustained that Monday, and in between performances last night, Grey was in pain. An ice pack was strategically tucked into her dancing pants.
Grey credited her husband, actor Clark Gregg, and their 8-year-old daughter, Stella, for their undying support of her ballroom "immersion course."
"I've done nothing but sleep and take care of my injuries. They have been so amazing," says Grey. "My husband has been taking care of everything and my daughter has become so much more self-sufficient. It's been great for everyone."
"I found out my husband can cook!"
Sounds like a win-win to us!

Kanye West Goes on Insane Concert Rant, Possibly Compares Matt Lauer to Child Abuser

Kanye West is out of his mind.
The rapper went on a VINTAGE Kanye rant last night in his New York concert, going off on everything from Taylor Swift and George W. Bush to the Today show.
Of the VMA debacle, he said "If I wasn't drunk, I woulda been on stage longer," then accused Swift of milking it, saying she "rode and rode" the wave of publicity.

Regarding the former President, West said his post-Katrina criticism of George Bush was "a BLATANT truth" ... then lambasted the media for demonizing Bush.
He also brought up the Today show drama again, reiterating his belief that Matt Lauer sabotaged him and ran a clip from his Q&A with Kanye out of context:
"Matt Lauer's not a bad guy I'm sure, but if you're a child being abused by a parent ... or a girl being abused by your boyfriend ... the greatest win that you could ever have is for that person to hit you in public. You SEE! YOU SEE! I TOLD YOU!"

Bristol Palin's DWTS Secret Weapon: Prayer

Bristol Palin finished third on the Dancing with the Stars finale.
Considering the scrutiny and controversy she fought through - not to mention her lack of experience dancing - it's pretty darn impressive for the 20-year-old.
Her secret to overcoming all that adversity? Prayer.

Palin, who fell just short behind Kyle Massey and winner Jennifer Grey on last night's finale, drew ire from some fans for advancing despite relatively low scores.
"It is faith that got me through this, just praying all the time and just relying on God and knowing that He is on our side and we'll get through this," she said.
"Just persevere, have confidence, and be willing to go try new things," she said, asked what she'll take away from this. "I've grown so much as a person."

Police to Question Denise Richards Over Alleged Charlie Sheen Harrassment

Even in divorce, Denise Richards can't get away from the mayhem Charlie Sheen leaves in his drunken wake.
Because the actor's ex-wife was actually present at dinner on the night Sheen allegedly went ballistic and eventually threatened the life of Capri Anderson - the porn star has said Richards left when she saw the evening turning into a night of "floozies" - police have contacted the actress.
Richards was also sleeping in the Plaza Hotel room across from her ex when cops arrived on the scene. She reportedly entered at some point and could have spotted evidence to be used in an investigation.

Two women, half a man.

Sources tell TMZ Denise plans to "fully cooperate."

Meanwhile, a police spokesman spoke to E! News and gave some background on just what the NYPD is looking into, based on charges Anderson has brought against her one-time date.

"She decided a month later the crime that was completed was harassment," the spokesman said. "She said he was shouting at her, knocking things off in the hotel room, acting irrational. She voluntarily locked herself in the bathroom and was not held against her will. She was not a victim of assault. She was not imprisoned in the hotel room."

Why didn't police initially investigate the events?

"When we responded, she didn't file a police report. She never said she felt in danger. Mr. Sheen voluntarily went to the hospital were he underwent a psychiatric evaluation."

Cops will also speak to Sheen about the incident at some point over the next couple days.

Perhaps an English teacher could do the same. This crazy dude needs serious grammar help!

Christy Martin, Boxing Legend, Accuses Husband of Shooting and Stabbing Her

Christy Martin is a boxing legend, the first female in her sport to cover Sports Illustrated. But now this brawler is truly in for the fight of her life...
... against both death and her husband.

Chrissy Martin on SI ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

Martin, who once appeared on the undercard of a Mike Tyson match, is recovering in a Florida hospital after being shot and stabbed yesterday.

While details are still coming in, TMZ reports the boxer stumbled out of her home after the incident, flagged down a car and was taken to get care by a passing motorist. Despite her injuries, Martin told authorities the man behind the attack was her 66-year-old husband and trainer, James Martin.

Police are now on the hunt for the man who made the mistake of thinking Christy Martin could be knocked out so easily.

Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene: Happy as Ever!

Following the announcement by Demi Lovato that she's seeking treatment for an abundance of personal issues, Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene have found themselves under unexpected fire.
Fans of the 18-year old singer initially jumped to unfortunate conclusions and blamed Demi's ex for dating Greene so soon after he and Lovato broke up. The criticism has since died down, allowing these two to focus on their relationship.
Which, sources confirm, is going extremely well.

Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas: Coffee today, a ring tomorrow?!?

E! News quotes a friend that says Ashley's parents have met Joe and simply adore him. Look for this couple to spend the holidays together.

"They are happy as ever right now," says the pal.

And, hey, no signs yet that Greene is corrupting Jonas in any way. So that's good.

Dancing With the Stars: Who Will Win?

Does Jennifer Grey deserve it because of the physical ailments she's overcome and the high scores she's consistently produced, week in and week out?
Does unheralded, charismatic Kyle Massey get the nod thanks to the rare blend of technical merit and fun he and Lacey Schwimmer bring to the table?
Does Bristol Palin deserve it because ... well, presumably people have some reason for stuffing the virtual ballot box for Sarah's daughter each Monday.
Who should win Dancing With the Stars this evening?

The real (and possibly rigged, depending on who you believe) votes are cast, but THG's poll is open! Weigh in and watch the results along with us later ...

Megyn Kelly in GQ: Foxy News Anchor!

Everyday on Fox News, Megyn Kelly reports from her America Live desk. Now, GQ has decided: she's hot!
The blonde "reporter" is featured in the magazine's latest issue, showing just how fair her skin is and and just how balanced her... nevermind.

Among the topics Kelly tackles in the interview is the old rumor that she carried on an affair with fellow anchor Brit Hume. Megyn says of this story:

"I think Brit knew how preposterous it was to anyone with two nickels in between their ears. The first thing he said at his retirement dinner was "I haven't been this honored since that rumor about me having an affair with Megyn Kelly went around."

Clearly, this is a woman unafraid to embrace her sex appeal. But is that the proper attitude for the lead daytime anchor on the country's most watched news network? You tell us: Megyn Kelly in GQ is...
