3/5/10 Johnny Depp Quitting Movie?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet
Friday, March 5, 2010
The "New York Post" says that JOHNNY DEPP is trying to quit the movie he's currently making, "The Tourist" . . . because his longtime girlfriend VANESSA PARADIS wants him to. --And why does she want him to quit? Because his co-star is ANGELINA JOLIE. --As you may know, Angelina stole BILLY BOB THORNTON away from LAURA DERN when she starred with him in the 1999 flick "Pushing Tin". --And while Angelina was filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" with BRAD PITT, she stole HIM from JENNIFER ANISTON. --And now, Vanessa is afraid Angelina will go after HER man. And she's especially worried because they'll be shooting a SEX SCENE. --So Johnny is supposedly being the good boyfriend and trying to break his commitment to the film. --A "source" says, quote, "[Johnny is] currently trying to [get out of the movie] . . . and they're talking about replacing him with Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio."
The tabloids have linked ANGELINA JOLIE with quite a few guys over the years, but this one is new to me. --Some new book claims that MICK JAGGER and Angelina started having relations after she appeared in the ROLLING STONES' video, "Anybody Seen My Baby?" in 1997. --At the time, Mick was still married to JERRY HALL --Then, Mick and Angelina had ANOTHER affair in 2003. --The book also claims Angelina rolled around for a while with RALPH FIENNES . . . whom your kids know as Lord Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" movies.
Technically, we don't know for sure whether SIMON COWELL is engaged to his girlfriend . . . "American Idol" makeup artist Mezghan Hussainy. But one thing he'll readily admit to is that he's in love with her. --He says, quote, "You confuse lust with love, you know, when you're in your teens and stuff like that. It's a difficult thing to describe other than you know it when you are. --You just know when you've found somebody special and I feel very, very happy."
Several sources are claiming that ELIN NORDEGREN and the kids have moved back in with TIGER WOODS to help him get his life and career back on track. --But that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be a happy family again. --One source says, quote, "Elin knows Tiger has issues and is afraid to go near him romantically. Because of the children and his need to return to golf, she will try to live in the house with a wall between them. --The marriage is all smoke and mirrors, but Elin will help Tiger rebuild his image and gain new sponsorships because this is what his life is all about. --She is doing this more for the kids and holding the family together then anything else." --According to TMZ, Wednesday was the first night Tiger and Elin spent in the same house since November.
SEAN PENN has been going to Haiti to help with the earthquake relief effort . . . but not everybody thinks his heart is in the right place.
--There are those who've accused him of exploiting the tragedy to improve his public image . . . and others who think it's hypocritical for him to complain about the misfortune and injustice, then go back home to his millions of dollars. --Well, Sean has a special wish for those who doubt his sincerity . . . quote, "You know, do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it."
I'm not really buying this, but PULITZER PRIZE CANDIDATE "The National Enquirer" says that MARIE OSMOND is on suicide watch since the death of her son Michael last Friday.
When JAKE PAVELKA proposed to VIENNA GIRARDI on "The Bachelor" earlier this week, he forgot to tell her an important fact about himself: He already had a girlfriend. (???) --At least that's what the alleged girlfriend claims. Her name is Tanya Douglas . . . and she says that when Jake went off to film "The Bachelor", they left their relationship, quote, "on hold." --And after the show finished taping in November, he started calling her and telling her how much he loved her. He also said the producers FORCED him to propose to Vienna. --Tanya came forward yesterday in a radio interview . . . (--With Island 106 in Panama City, Florida.) She actually tried to keep her identity a secret, and her voice was disguised. But the media found out who she was. --The reason she's coming forward is because she's disappointed that Jake proposed to Vienna . . . especially if he didn't mean it. She claims she and Jake had plans for the future . . . which may have included MARRIAGE. --Jake is denying her claims, of course. --He says, quote, "The relationship with [Tanya] was prior to 'The Bachelor'. It simply did not work out. --There was no overlap with that or any other relationship during the show. It is unfortunate that people such as this are trying to financially capitalize on or disparage my incredible relationship with Vienna. --I only wish everyone could be as happy for us as we are happy together."
3/4/10 Charlie Sheen Chaos
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, March 04, 2010
MO'NIQUE isn't just a funny comedian and a great dramatic actress, she’s also a wife. A wife with very strange views on her husband and marriage. --On the BARBARA WALTERS Oscar special . . . which airs Sunday night . . . Mo'Nique explains that her marriage to actor SIDNEY HICKS is OPEN . . . although she's never taken advantage of that personally. --But she says, quote, "Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That's not a deal-breaker. That's not something that would make us say, 'Pack your things and let's end the marriage.' --What if it's 20 times? So what? We've been best friends for over 25 years, and we truly know who we are. Oftentimes, people get into marriages and they don't know who they're laying next to. I'm very comfortable and secure with my husband." --Oh . . . and remember Mo'Nique's hairy legs at the Golden Globes??? That wasn't just a one-time oversight. That's how Mo'Nique rolls all the time. And Sid digs it. --Mo'Nique says, quote, "He loves the hairy legs and if Sid likes the hairy legs, there you go. I tried shaving one time, and it was so uncomfortable and painful. I said never again would I do that to myself. I'm 42 and I'm very hairy."
After she broke up with country singer CHUCK WICKS, JULIANNE HOUGH was briefly linked to JARED FOLLOWILL from KINGS OF LEON. But now there might be a new man in her life. --Rumor has it she's dating DANE COOK. On Saturday night, Julianne attended one of his "comedy" gigs in Hollywood. After the show, he reportedly hopped off the stage and kissed her . . . and they left together. --Later that night they went out for dinner. A witness says, quote, "They looked very happy together, and very affectionate."
REBECCA GAYHEART and ERIC DANE . . . who ALLEGEDLY like to do drugs and take bubble baths with prostitutes whom they pay by credit card . . . will be the caretakers of a human female for the next 18 years. --Rebecca gave birth to a baby girl on Wednesday. She's their first child. There's no word what they named her.
On Tuesday, RadarOnline.com quoted "sources" who said that BROOKE MUELLER was bisexual . . . and that she and CHARLIE SHEEN invited several other women into their bedroom. --And the "source" said these three-ways often included the ingestion of illegal substances. --Radar Online also claimed that one of the women who engaged in these SHEEN-ANIGANS would be coming forward soon to share her story. --Yesterday, Radar Online added a new wrinkle to the story. They said that Charlie and Brooke have shared as many as 10 sexual partners . . . and some of them were GUYS. --Yesterday's "source" said, quote, "It's more twisted than anyone knows or suspected. It's crazy."
MEL GIBSON has been talking a lot lately about how he gave up smoking . . . and what an ordeal it was. --Now he's telling us that it was even MORE difficult because he was a PRENATAL NICOTINE ADDICT, thanks to his mom. (???) --He says, quote, "It is a hellish habit to break. Your neurons are involved. My mother smoked when I was in her womb. I first had one when I was nine years old and I thought, 'Yes, I missed this!' I knew I missed it. --And 45 years later, after every single artistic decision; every decision I'd ever made was done with a cigarette. To not have that is pretty hectic. It's worse than crawling the walls, which I did for a while." --Then, Mel offers these upbeat, encouraging words . . . quote, "There's no more fun things left. I just don't do anything fun anymore; but that's dying isn't it? --I mean you die in stages. You let things go in pieces. It's mostly over halfway through."
This is RIDICULOUS . . . but it's funny . . . so let's roll with it . . . "Life & Style Weekly" would like to know why ANGELINA JOLIE is turning her daughter Shiloh INTO A BOY. (???) --Shiloh has a rather boyish haircut these days . . . and she tends to wear boyish clothing. And, as BRAD PITT admitted on "Oprah" not too long ago, Shiloh prefers to be called JOHN. (--Although that's just because she's obsessed with "Peter Pan".) --It's not clear exactly what Angelina's motivation is for this . . . or why Brad doesn't shoulder any of the "blame" for it.
When SARAH PALIN showed up in Los Angeles to tape "The Tonight Show" earlier this week, she had an ulterior motive. --By the end of the day today, she and "Survivor" creator MARK BURNETT will have met with all four of the major networks . . . NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox . . . about a reality show featuring the Palin family introducing the rest of America to their beloved Alaska. --One network executive said it would have elements of the Discovery Channel documentary series "Planet Earth". --There's no word yet if any of the networks are interested.
3/3/10 Jackson Kids in Trouble
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, March 03, 2010
The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services paid a visit to KATHERINE JACKSON'S house on Monday night . . . to investigate an incident involving some of her grandchildren and . . . a STUN GUN. --Here's TMZ's version of the story: A few weeks ago, JERMAINE JACKSON'S 13-year-old son Jaafar ordered a STUN GUN online . . . apparently without any adults knowing about it.
--Jaafar lives with Katherine, as do several of his cousins . . . including MICHAEL JACKSON'S three kids. --So last week, security at the house heard some kind of commotion on the second floor. When they went to investigate, they found Jaafar trying to use the stun gun on Michael's 7-year-old son, BLANKET. (!!!) --One of the guards confiscated the gun before that could happen and gave it to Katherine, who locked it away. --But somebody . . . we don't know who . . . reported the incident to the Department of Children and Family Services. They paid a visit to the Jackson compound on Monday night, and took the stun gun. --But Katherine's attorney, Adam Streisand, tells a different story. --He admits Jaafar received the stun gun in the mail two weeks ago. Shortly thereafter, Katherine and one of the guards heard the sound of the taser and followed it to a room where they found Jaafar testing it ON A PIECE OF PAPER. --Streisand says, quote, "Mrs. Jackson took control over it and then had it removed from the house. There was no other incident. --Blanket Jackson never saw or heard the taser. Neither did Paris Jackson. Prince saw the taser in the possession of security. There is no second taser." (--That's another claim TMZ makes . . . that Jaafar has a second stun gun squirreled away somewhere.) --Katherine's attorney adds, quote, "All of the kids are happy, healthy and wonderful and that is Mrs. Jackson's only objective and concern."
It turns out the Smithsonian is NOT interested in the suit that O.J. SIMPSON wore when he was acquitted of double murder charges almost 15 years ago. --We heard yesterday that attorneys for both O.J. and FRED GOLDMAN had reached an agreement to donate the suit in the memory of NICOLE BROWN and RON GOLDMAN . . . the two people O.J. LEGALLY didn't kill. --But a statement on the Smithsonian website reads, quote, "The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History will not be collecting O.J. Simpson's suit. The decision was made by the museum's curators together with the director." --A museum spokeswoman adds, quote, "We feel that this suit does not have a direct enough connection to represent the story of this event. This is no comment on the trial, O.J. Simpson, or the acquittal."
It's been a few years since NAOMI CAMPBELL hit somebody. Or else it's just been years since someone REPORTED being hit by Naomi Campbell. Either way, the streak is over. --Naomi is wanted by New York City Police after she started whacking away at her driver yesterday afternoon with her weapon of choice . . . a CELL PHONE. --Naomi was being driven through Manhattan at around 3:00 P.M., when she became ENRAGED for some reason, and attacked the driver from the backseat. --Now check this out . . . the driver actually stopped and yelled for a traffic cop. That's when Naomi JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR AND RAN AWAY. (!!!) --The driver . . . a 27-year-old guy who was only hired for the day . . . suffered some bruising under his right eye. --Of course, Naomi's rep is trying to downplay this whole thing. He said, quote, "There shouldn't be a rush to judgment. Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye."
DONNY OSMOND says his family is trying to stay strong in the wake of the death of MARIE'S 18-year-old son, Michael Blosil. --He tells "The Insider", quote, "Whenever there's a situation where there needs to be rallying, the Osmonds rally around each other and support each other. And there's a lot of that going on right now." --Donny said that when they heard the news, he and his other brothers boarded his private jet and flew to Las Vegas, where Marie lives. He says, quote, "It meant a lot to her to have us at her house."
It's time for the CHARLIE SHEEN story to get a little more sordid. --RadarOnline.com claims that a woman will soon be coming forward to admit that she had THREE-WAYS with Charlie and his wife, BROOKE MUELLER. And she plans on revealing, quote, "more outrageous details of their relationship." --There's no word what she has to say, but an unrelated source says, quote, "Brooke is bisexual. She and Charlie have had more than one woman share their bed in the short time they've been married. --Some of the women they slept with together also did drugs with them." --It's not clear when or where this woman will supposedly tell her story . . . but Radar Online says it'll happen within the next two weeks.
Sources say that TIGER WOODS is back home in Windermere, Florida . . . after spending a week in Arizona undergoing family and marriage counseling. --His wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, took part in the sessions with him. --We'd heard from PULITZER PRIZE CANDIDATE "The National Enquirer" that Tiger was in Arizona for treatment of DRUG ADDICTION. Apparently, that's not the case. --Now that he's home, Tiger is reportedly back to a daily golfing regimen. There's still no word when he'll compete again.
Not surprisingly, JAY LENO cruised to an easy victory over DAVID LETTERMAN on Monday night . . . his first night back as the host of "The Tonight Show". --According to the early estimates, 6.6 million people watched Leno's return, while "The Late Show with David Letterman" only averaged 3.8 million.
3/2/10 'Dancing' Lineup
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, March 02, 2010
SIMON COWELL can't be too happy about this: --There's a picture floating around the World Wide Web of Embarrassing Images depicting CLAY AIKEN fondling the breasts of Simon's new fiancée, MEZHGAN HUSSAINY. --Meghgan is a makeup artist for "American Idol". And the word on this picture is that it's more than six years old. --Which means that it could have been taken while Clay was competing on "Idol" back in 2003. If not, it was taken shortly thereafter . . . and LONG before Simon seeing Mezghan.
"Golf Digest" magazine says that TIGER WOODS received crisis management advice from a man who probably knows exactly what he's going through: WILLIAM JEFFERSON "HORNDOG" CLINTON. (???) --But Tiger didn't seek out Billy's advice. It was Bill who made a personal call to HIM to, quote, "offer encouragement." (--There's no word what was said, but how badly would you like to hear a recording of that conversation???) --Clinton's rep was asked to elaborate . . . but all he would say was, quote, "President Clinton spoke with Tiger and wished him well." (--By the way, an earlier version of the "Golf Digest" article suggested that PRESIDENT OBAMA had called Tiger, too. That did NOT happen. The magazine has since admitted it made a mistake.)
The suit O.J. SIMPSON wore when he was acquitted of the murders of NICOLE BROWN and RON GOLDMAN in 1995 may be headed to the Smithsonian museum. --After years of arguing over its fate, attorneys for O.J. and FRED GOLDMAN finally decided to donate the suit in the memory of Nicole and Ron. (--If the Smithsonian doesn't want it, they'll give it to someone else.) --O.J. . . . who was contacted in prison . . . said he was cool with the arrangement as long as nobody made money off the suit.
At this Sunday's Oscars, BRITTANY MURPHY will be featured in the annual MONTAGE OF DEATH. And her husband, Simon Monjack, will be there. --He says, quote, "I have been honored by an invitation to the Academy Awards, which I am very grateful for . . . I will fast for the next seven days in order to fit into my tux and polish up the patent leather shoes and then, in my wife's honor, walk the infamous red carpet." --Simon says he hopes to take Brittany's mother as his date, but it'll depend on her health. --Meanwhile, TMZ is reporting that Brittany left EVERYTHING to her mother. But Simon is cool with that. --In fact, he says that when they got married, he had her write the following into her will, quote, "I am married to Simon Monjack, who I have intentionally left out of this will."
Marie Osmond’s adopted son, MICHAEL BLOSIL had a roommate, Sean Srnik that is talking. Sean told "In Touch Weekly" exactly what happened last Friday night, when Michael jumped to his death from their 8th-story Los Angeles apartment. --It all started innocently enough. Sean says, quote, "He walked in the door, and I was hiding behind the refrigerator. I popped out, and I was like 'Hey Mike!' and I gave him a hug. --That's just how we are . . . we joke around. Everything seemed fine, everything was just going as our daily lives go." --At about 9:15 P.M., Michael received a phone call and left the room. --Five minutes later, their friend RUTH ANN, who lived in the building, ran in and asked where Michael was. --Sean says, quote, "We knew something was wrong. She grabbed the note and as soon as she started reading it, she started hysterically crying. I read the first three sentences of the note, and I realized exactly what was going on. --While I was reading, she went to the balcony because she heard sirens. She looked down, and that's when she saw Michael." --As we've already heard, Michael texted Ruth Ann and told her there was a note for her in the apartment. In the note, Michael talked about how he was lonely and felt like he didn't fit in. --He also rather ominously described, quote, "[his] last shower [and his] last cigarette."
Forbes.com has put together another one of their wonderfully entertaining pop culture lists. This time, we're looking at Hollywood's Most Influential Celebrities. And sitting at the very top, not surprisingly, is OPRAH WINFREY.

Monday, March 01, 2010
Michael Blosil . . . the 18-year-old son of MARIE OSMOND . . . committed suicide Friday night by jumping to his death from his 8th floor apartment in Los Angeles. --Blosil . . . who had been suffering from severe depression in recent years . . . left a note in which he claimed that he was lonely, had no friends and didn't fit in. --Ironically, before killing himself, he texted a female FRIEND who lived in the building, telling her there was a note for her in his apartment. --Law enforcement sources say Michael was supposed to hang out with the woman that night. When she received his text . . . at about 9:00 P.M. . . . she went to his apartment, where his roommates let her in. --Michael's note didn't actually mention suicide, but it did say that the woman was his only good friend in L.A., and talked ominously about things he would be doing for the last time. --Moments after the woman entered the apartment and read the note, she and Michael's roommates heard sirens on the street below. They looked out the window, and that's when they realized what had happened. --Marie issued the following statement on Saturday . . . quote, "My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time." --Donny Osmond and Marie do a show at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas . . . but it's been canceled indefinitely in the wake of Michael's suicide. --Marie and her ex-husband Brian Blosil have seven children. Five of them . . . including Michael . . . are adopted.
GARY COLEMAN suffered a seizure on the set of "The Insider" Friday morning. --Gary was on the show with DR. DREW PINSKY, which turned out to be a lucky break. Dr. Drew was able to give him medical attention until paramedics arrived. --Gary was transferred to a local hospital in stable condition. There's been no further word on his condition. --"The Insider" says it will NOT air or release any footage from the incident.
SIMON COWELL is, in fact engaged to Mezhgan Hussainy . . . the head makeup artist on "American Idol". --Mezhgan, a native of Afghanistan, has been dating Simon for about a year. She's 36 . . . Simon is 50. --There's no word on a wedding date, but "sources" say it could happen soon.
When things got tough for TIGER WOODS last November, Gatorade was one of the first sponsors to distance itself from him. --The company didn't bail on him entirely, but they did discontinue his Gatorade Tiger Focus energy drink. --At the time, they claimed the drink was already scheduled to end its run . . . and the timing had nothing to do with Tiger's WHORE MONGERING. --But there's no mistaking their intentions this time. On Friday, a Gatorade rep said, quote, "I can confirm that we no longer see a role for Tiger in our marketing efforts and have ended our relationship. --However, our partnership with the Tiger Woods Foundation will continue. We wish Tiger all the best."
"Bachelor" jerk JASON MESNICK . . . the dude who proposed to MELISSA RYCROFT, only to later dump her for runner-up MOLLY MALANEY . . . made The Big Mistake with Molly on Saturday. --The ceremony was filmed for an upcoming ABC special called "The Bachelor: Jason and Molly's Wedding" , which will air next Monday night.
Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife Denise Richards may be called to testify at Charlie’s Colorado trial, but not by Charlie’s side. TMZ reports that the Pitkin County D.A. may be interested in having Denise testify about an incident that occurred during their marriage that is similar to the allegations Charlie’s current wife, Brooke Mueller, made against him on Christmas day. In a declaration signed by Denise when she got a restraining order taken out against Charlie, she claimed that on December 30th, 2005, Charlie pushed her while she was holding their daughter Lola. Denise said that the shove caused her to fall backwards on to the floor with the child. Charlie allegedly then screamed at her “I hope you (bleeping) die b***h.” Charlie denied the allegations at the time.

Friday, February 26, 2010
The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office released its final report on the death of BRITTANY MURPHY. And they cleared up two issues that have been lingering since she passed away in December. --Brittany wasn't taking illegal drugs . . . and she wasn't too skinny. --Doctors did find elevated levels of Vicodin in her system . . . as well as Prozac and drugs associated with over-the-counter cold medications. The report says, quote, "There is no history of alcohol or drug abuse." --As for Brittany's weight, it says, quote, "The overall appearance of the body is consistent with the recorded height of 65 inches and the recorded weight of 115 pounds. --The body appears well developed, normally muscular and slim but not excessively thin." --Earlier this month, the coroner said pneumonia was the primary cause of death . . . and added that Brittany's death was accidental, and probably could have been prevented with the proper treatment.
When TIGER WOODS left Florida on his private jet last Saturday, there was talk that he'd gone to Arizona . . . and not back to Mississippi, where he'd been receiving treatment for his alleged SEX ADDICTION. --Well, the "National Enquirer" says Tiger DID go to Arizona . . . and he IS back in rehab. But not because of his restless groin syndrome. --They claim he's at a place called The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona . . . where he's being treated for an addiction to the prescription meds Ambien and Vicodin. --A "source" says, quote, "In therapy, Tiger blamed a lot of his cheating behavior on his drug addiction, saying that the drugs were responsible for impairing his judgment. --After he left Gentle Path [in Mississippi], Tiger flew to Arizona for his initial intake interview at The Meadows, which is better equipped to handle rehab for drug addiction and depression."
CHARLIE SHEEN'S wife, BROOKE MUELLER, left her second rehab clinic and is now back home. --But she's still being treated for . . . whatever she's being treated for. She brought some sober coaches and therapists back with her. --Sources say Brooke wanted to be at home with her 11-month-old twins, now that Charlie is off in rehab himself. --Charlie's parents, MARTIN and JANET SHEEN, are at the house helping Brooke with the kids. --Meanwhile, RadarOnline.com says that Brooke has been hiding her crack addiction for a while now.
--A "source" says, quote, "Brooke has been out of control for months. She smoked crack the night before she had Charlie arrested in December. --[She and Charlie] both have addiction issues and they don't have a happy marriage. It was just a disaster and they tried to cover it up as long as they could but ultimately the whole situation just exploded."
HARRISON FORD has been flying helicopters and airplanes for 15 years now, and it STILL gives him a rush. So much so that he sometimes makes unnecessary trips with the aircraft that he keeps at an airport in Santa Monica, California. --He says, quote, "Learning to fly was a work of art. I'm so passionate about flying I often fly up the coast for a cheeseburger. Flying is like good music; it elevates the spirit and it's an exhilarating freedom." --Not surprisingly, that whole "flying up the coast for a cheeseburger" thing isn't sitting well with some environmentalists. --Dr. Wendy Buckley . . . the director of a website called CarbonFootprint.com . . . says, quote, "Flying is a huge source of carbon emissions and making unnecessary journeys by plane can no longer be seen as responsible to our environment. --Stars like Harrison Ford need to embrace the huge opportunity to lead by example in the battle against climate change . . . reduce their overall lifestyle carbon footprint and carbon offset those unavoidable emissions."
JON VOIGHT enjoyed a much-publicized reunion last weekend with ANGELINA JOLIE, BRAD PITT and their ever-growing clan of children. And obviously, he enjoyed it. Especially since it was his first time meeting his grandkids. --He says, quote, "It was just wonderful to spend time with Angelina and Brad and the children. I've been waiting so long to hug my grandchildren and it was amazing, they are the most beautiful, loving kids you could imagine. --And I'm not just saying that because I'm their grandfather, they really are something special." --He adds, quote, "I hope I get to see them again soon. I want to spend as much time with them as possible." --By the way . . . Jon would like you to know that Brad and Angelina are SOLID. He says, quote, "Angelina and Brad are so happy together and they are the most amazing, loving parents I've ever seen. --It truly moved me to see how Angie is as a mom, I am so proud of her . . . she has so much love to give and to share with the children and with Brad."
LEVI JOHNSTON has been ordered to pay BRISTOL PALIN close to $18,000 in back child support. --Yesterday, a judge set Levi's monthly payment at $1,688.42 . . . retroactive to the birth of their son Tripp in December of 2008. --Bristol's attorney said, quote, "Bristol is pleased with the court rulings today and looks forward to resolving the remaining issues with Levi."
There are all kinds of reports online about how SIMON COWELL and ELLEN DEGENERES haven't been getting along on "American Idol". --Supposedly, it all began last month when Simon was late for the taping of one of Ellen's first shows . . . and since then, Ellen has become increasingly intolerant of Simon's "cruel" comments to the contestants. --TMZ reports that Simon and Ellen's frustrations with each other are apparent both on and off camera, and a so-called "insider" tells them that Simon is quote, "intentionally pushing Ellen's buttons" by being extra mean. (???) --There isn't any real PROOF that Simon and Ellen are at each other's throats, but people are pointing out that they are no longer sitting next to each other at the judges' table.

Thursday, February 25, 2010
JIM CARREY and JENNY MCCARTHY have been pretty adamant about not wanting to get married. But now, Jenny says that making The Big Mistake is a possibility. Just not anytime soon. --She tells "Us Weekly", quote, "We say 'never,' but I don't know. Maybe for tax purposes, someday, when we are old. --That's what we keep joking . . . like, when we are 70! But for now, we're fine. We are really fine!"
Do OLSEN TWIN relationships still matter in 2010??? If so, then you should know this: MARY-KATE is single again, after dumping her boyfriend of almost two years. --The guy's name is Nate Lowman. Mary-Kate gave him his walking papers just before Valentine's Day. --And she was supposedly seen making out with JOSH HARTNETT at a party in London last weekend.
And the latest male celebrity that the "National Enquirer" has sleeping with a stripper is . . . "Lost" star MATTHEW FOX. --The "Enquirer" claims Matthew has been sleeping with 26-year-old Stefani Talbott . . . whom he met when she was dancing at the Stars Cabaret club in Bend, Oregon. --She says, quote, "Yes I've been having an affair with Matthew Fox. We had sex together. I've kept voice mails and text messages from him." --A "source" says, quote, "Matthew's partying is out of control. He's boozing and carrying on with women. His carousing is at an all-time high." --Matthew, of course, denies all this.
JOHNNY DEPP may be one of the sexiest men alive, but you might not think that if you were standing downwind from him. And the same goes for his girlfriend, VANESSA PARADIS. --Because neither one of them has terribly good hygiene. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "Johnny usually smells because he rarely showers. He isn't big on personal cleanliness and Vanessa isn't much different. --They found their perfect match in each other. It's hard to be around them. Their personal hygiene is not their priority."
NANCY KERRIGAN'S brother Mike was finally released on bail yesterday, and is back home with his family. --Mark is facing a charge of assault and battery on an elder with serious bodily injury . . . after he got into a physical fight with his 70-year-old father, which resulted in Dad suffering a fatal heart attack. Police still might upgrade the charge to manslaughter. --Mark's family . . . including Nancy and their mom . . . say it wasn't his fault.

Gossip columnist FLO ANTHONY tells "Entertainment Tonight" that ELIN NORDEGREN is NOT interested in patching things up with TIGER WOODS. --She says, quote, "I've been told that Elin wants to go. Elin does want a divorce. [Tiger] is talking to her, saying, 'We need to try to work this through.' . . . He would like his marriage to work. He would like to see his children." --She adds, quote, "Elin is moving definitely toward divorce but she is being pulled in a lot of directions. So, you know, one day it can be a divorce. The next day it can be, 'Well maybe I will try to stay.' --She has got a lot of friends. She has acquired some advisers along the way. You know, just every day is different. She also has her mother and her twin sister who are very, very big influences." --By the way . . . RadarOnline.com claims that the night before Tiger's apology, he tried to get Elin to sit for a FAMILY PORTRAIT with him and the kids. And he made the bone-headed decision to spring it on her at the last minute. --She refused.
TIGER WOODS apologized to someone new this week . . . and this time, his wife ELIN joined him in saying she was sorry. --Tiger and Elin sent an apology letter to the other parents at the Premiere Academy in Windermere, Florida. That's the preschool their 2-year-old daughter Sam goes to. --They apologized for the way the paparazzi has been swarming the place in the last few weeks. --They said, quote, "[We would like to] offer our personal apology for any inconvenience you are experiencing due to the increased media scrutiny surrounding our children. We truly understand how frustrating it can be. --We hope that the paparazzi will find something better to do with their time in the near future. In the meantime, it is our goal to keep life as normal as possible for our children. --We are sure that as parents you can appreciate that. For Sam, that normalcy means attending the school that she enjoys so much. --Again, we truly appreciate the support from the entire Premier Academy family."
Despite recent denials from his rep that anything like this was even remotely possible, CHARLIE SHEEN checked himself into rehab yesterday morning. --Details are scarce, but here's the statement from Charlie's rep . . . quote, "As a preventative measure, Charlie Sheen has entered a rehabilitation facility. He will take some time off his series 'Two and a Half Men'." --CBS issued its own statement wishing Charlie the best and saying that taping would be temporarily suspended. --TMZ claims that Charlie will spend TWO WEEKS in rehab . . . and that there are about six episodes left to shoot this season. --There's no word where he is, but he's NOT at the same place as his wife, BROOKE MUELLER. --An unidentified "source" gave some insight into Charlie's decision to get help . . . telling "People" magazine, quote, "Charlie is stressed. He's tired. The kids are on his mind. Brooke's on his mind. --A lot of things are on his mind. He didn't want to get [to] a place where he had the urge to get high. He's not using and he doesn't want to. --He felt like he needed to get away from negative influences around him and clear his head, rest and take a short break." --With both Charlie and his wife in rehab, family and staff will pitch in to help take care of their 11-month-old twins.
I guess we can stop calling LINDSAY LOHAN a lesbian . . . or even bisexual. Because it turns out she's only gay for SAMANTHA RONSON. --In the second part of her interview with Britain's "Sun" tabloid, she says, quote, "If I wasn't with Samantha, I would probably be with a boy next. She's the only woman I've been attracted to. --We love each other. We might reconcile the relationship, maybe. I don't know." --She adds, quote, "I never really thought about women before, it kind of just happened with Samantha. It surprised me. --We're still in touch. We live in the same apartment building in L.A. and see each other often. She has always been one of my best friends." --Lindsay pretty much blames Samantha's family for their rocky relationship . . . quote, "Her family is very involved in her relationships and that was difficult. --I think Samantha was growing as a celebrity and a musician and I think that might have scared her family. But I've always been her biggest supporter and, yeah, I love her. --All the fighting stuff was just because all her friends had got involved and made me an outcast, which wasn't fair to Samantha. I think it was a jealousy thing in terms of her becoming more famous than the rest of them. --She kind of does what she wants now. It's changed, so who's to say we won't be together again?"
GARY BUSEY has a new baby boy at home. Gary's girlfriend, Steffanie Sampson, gave birth yesterday morning. They named their new son Luke Sampson Busey. --Gary . . . who's 65 . . . has two other kids from previous relationships. JAKE BUSEY . . . who's an actor himself . . . is 38. His daughter Alectra is 17.
The latest PAULA ABDUL employment rumor comes from the "National Enquirer", which claims that Paula may be getting her own talk show on OPRAH WINFREY'S upcoming network, OWN. --Supposedly, the show would be similar to Oprah's . . . in that it'll feature celebrity guests and, quote, "inspirational stories." (--The network doesn't launch until next January . . . so if this is true, we're still a long way from it happening.) --There has also been talk that Paula could be a judge on SIMON COWELL'S new show, "The X Factor". But she could do both. According to the "Enquirer" she said, quote, "If ELLEN DEGENERES can do it . . . so can I!"

Over the weekend, a rep for ABBIE CORNISH issued a statement saying that Abbie and RYAN PHILLIPPE had broken up. --And the statement went a little something like this . . . quote, "Abbie ended the relationship with Ryan and she moved out of their home." --Yesterday, Ryan's rep issued his own statement, with a slightly different take on the situation. --He said, quote, "Ryan ended the relationship and asked her to move out of his house."
52-year-old LORENZO LAMAS proposed over the weekend to his 23-year-old girlfriend, Shawna Craig. They've been dating for about three months. Not surprisingly, she's a model who wants to be an actress. --Shawna Craig will be Lorenzo's FIFTH wife.
NHL star MIKE COMRIE didn't just ask HILARY DUFF to marry him . . . he slipped a MILLION-DOLLAR RING on her finger. (!!!) --That's according to E! Online, anyway. A source says the rock is 14-karats. --That same source says Hilary and Mike are in the process of buying a $10 million house in Beverly Hills.
No one's going to win a Pulitzer for pulling this out of LINDSAY LOHAN . . . but she recently told Britain's "Sun" tabloid that she used drugs and alcohol to mask her problems. --Lindsay said it got to its peak when her dad, MICHAEL LOHAN, started talking about her in the media back in 2007. --She said, quote, "That's when I hit rock bottom. I abused substances too much and it wasn't the answer to my problems. People need to know that. --I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances. Now I'm in a place where I don't need to use anything and I can feel emotions because I choose to. --I learned from my mistakes and I'm now healthy and happier. I never want to be close to losing everything I worked for and aspired to have my whole life. --Mind-altering substances are so dangerous. If I can teach others, especially teens, by sharing my experiences, then that's what I will continue to do." --Lindsay has been to rehab three times. The first was in 2007, after a bad experience with Ambien. --She said, quote, "I went to rehab three times. The first time I checked myself in because I had taken Ambien. It's a sleeping aid but it makes you hallucinate. I ran a bath and fell asleep on the floor and the bath had overflowed. --When I woke up I was so scared. I called my therapist and said, 'Can I just go somewhere for a month?'" --Lindsay said she's in a much better place now . . . quote, "I'm allowed to drink now but I know my limits. There are certain situations where I have obligations. There's no reason to (drink) because I don't want to feel like (crap) in the morning." --She added, quote, "I've now learned my boundaries and I've been very good with cleaning house with people who I know didn't have my best intentions at heart. A lot of people in L.A. are very self destructive. --Partying so hard simply isn't worth it. Life is worth living and there is so much to do and experience, it's wonderful."
CHARLIE SHEEN'S wife, BROOKE MUELLER, had to switch rehab facilities over privacy concerns. --She WAS at a place called the Canyon. But her lawyer says an employee was leaking information about her to the media. He plans to file a lawsuit against the joint. --Brooke's new facility is a PRIVATE HOME in the Los Angeles area, which provides a, quote, "more secure, confidential environment." --Meanwhile . . . representatives from the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services paid a visit to Brooke and Charlie's kids on Sunday night. But not because anything happened. --It was a routine, follow-up visit requested by authorities in Aspen, Colorado . . . where Charlie and Brooke had their little "incident" on Christmas Day.

By now, you must have seen some or all of the 13-and-a-half-minute statement TIGER WOODS gave on Friday. So let's get right to the high points. -- Tiger's wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, was NOT there. --In front of a small group of friends, family . . . (--Including Tiger's mom Kultida, who sat front-and-center) . . . business associates and reporters . . . Tiger started off with an apology. --He said, quote, "Many of you in this room are my friends. Many in this room know me. Many of you have cheered for me, or you worked with me, or you supported me. Now, every one of you has good reason to be critical of me. --I want to say to each of you simply and directly: I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in." --Then he went right into a quick update on the status of his marriage. The basic message was, THEY'RE WORKING ON IT. --He said, quote, "People want to know how I could have done these things to my wife Elin and my children . . . Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. --As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words. It will come from my behavior over time. We have a lot to discuss. However, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us." --Later in the speech, Tiger said, quote, "I understand people want to know whether Elin and I will remain together. Please know that as far as I'm concerned, every one of these questions and answers is a matter between her and me." (--When he said that, he was also talking about the details of his affairs . . . which he's obviously not going to lay out for us.) --Tiger also made it clear that Elin did NOT go after him like a Category 5 hurricane with a pitching wedge back in November. --He said, quote, "Some people have speculated that Elin somehow hurt or attacked me on Thanksgiving night. It angers me that people would fabricate a story like that. Elin never hit me that night or any other night. --There has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage. Ever. --Elin has shown enormous grace and poise throughout this ordeal. Elin deserves praise, not blame. The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. I was unfaithful, I had affairs, I cheated." --Then, Tiger talked about WHY he did what he did. And he blamed a misguided sense of entitlement. --He said, quote, "What I did was not acceptable and I am the only person to blame. I stopped living by the core values that I was taught to believe in. I knew my actions were wrong, but I convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply. --I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself. I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. --I felt that I had worked hard my entire life, and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them." --But he added, quote, "I was wrong. I was foolish. I don't get to play by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me." --More than once, Tiger alluded to all the people who looked up to him . . . especially the children . . . and how his actions had let them down. --At one point he said, quote, "Parents used to point to me as a role model for their kids. I owe all those families a special apology. I want to say to them that I am truly sorry." --Then Tiger admitted that he's been in REHAB since December. He said, quote, "It's hard to admit that I need help, but I do . . . I have a long way to go, but I've taken my first steps in the right direction." --He also said he would be returning to rehab on Saturday. --Tiger ended his statement with this . . . quote, "There are many people in this room and there are many people at home who believed in me. Today, I want to ask for your help. I ask you to find room in your heart to one day believe in me again. Thank you." --After giving his speech, Tiger walked over to his mother and gave her a long hug. Roll credits.
Not surprisingly, some of TIGER'S ANGELS were unhappy with Tiger's speech on Friday. --One of them is former porn star JOSLYN JAMES. (--She's the one who claimed last week that Tiger knocked her up twice. She said she lost one of the babies and aborted the other.) --She and her shamelessly fame-whoring attorney GLORIA ALLRED held a press conference to discuss how very WRONGED Joslyn has been through all this. --The gist of the press conference was that Joslyn wants an APOLOGY from Tiger for putting her through such emotional turmoil. --Like many of the other girls, she claims she was led to believe she was the only OTHER WOMAN in his life, and that he truly loved her. --She also claims she gave up her lucrative career in smut because Tiger was so jealous. --Another of Tiger's mistresses, JAMIE JUNGERS, was equally unimpressed.
--She said, quote, "That apology is crap. He's making a sob story to make people sorry for him. I don't feel sorry for him. --I've seen his face and his emotions when his father died and this was different. Just by his facial expressions . . . I'm not going to call him a liar but . . . he's playing that card." --She also wants to know why Tiger apologized to EVERYONE BUT HIS HO'S. --She said, quote, "He's apologizing to these young kids . . . everybody but the women that were involved in the relationships. --It's hurtful. It's rude. He should have apologized to the people like myself, his mistresses, because we're dealing with a lot of stuff too. It's not one-night stands, it's relationships . . . he could have at least mentioned the women."
TIGER WOODS' wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, wasn't at his speech on Friday. But don't read too much into that. According to some reports, they were together again before the day was over. --TMZ says that Tiger arrived at his home in Windermere, Florida at about 4:00 P.M. Friday . . . and Elin was there. --And RadarOnline.com says the two of them played an hour of tennis together on Saturday afternoon. --That night, they headed to the Orlando airport with their two children and boarded one of Tiger's private jets bound for . . . somewhere. --We don't know where they were headed, but Tiger did say in his speech that he was going back to rehab on Saturday. --We don't know if he went back to the clinic in Mississippi that he's been in since December, or if he's at a different facility.
PAMELA ANDERSON finally admitted she'll be on the new season of "Dancing With the Stars", which kicks off next month. --She says, quote, "Do you think I'd be good? I think it would be fun. I can't dance, but I like the challenge, and am looking forward to some of the outfits I get to wear."
HILARY DUFF is engaged to MIKE COMRIE of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers. Her rep says, quote, "After having been together for over two years, they are very excited to share this happy news. They are thankful for all of your warm wishes."
BILLY JOEL and his 28-year-old estranged wife KATIE LEE have reportedly been spending a lot of time together lately. --So-called "sources" say he's forgiven her for cheating with a much younger Israeli fashion designer, and they're trying to patch things up.
ABBIE CORNISH is no longer dating RYAN PHILLIPPE. Her rep has issued a statement saying, quote, "Abbie ended the relationship with Ryan and she moved out of their home." --The rep did not give a reason for the split. There have been rumors that Ryan was CHEATING . . . but when asked about that, Abbie's rep refused to comment. So far, there's been no comment from Ryan.
ANGELINA JOLIE may have reconciled with her dad, JON VOIGHT. Angelina, BRAD PITT and the kids spent some time with Voight in Venice, Italy over the weekend.
This might truly be a sign of the Apocalypse: The "National Enquirer" has been accepted into the Pulitzer Prize competition for its work on the JOHN EDWARDS scandal. --The "Enquirer" is competing in two categories: Investigative Reporting and National News Reporting.
