Lindsay Lohan: “I’m a Workaholic”

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

She’s never been known for her good judgment, but nonetheless Lindsay Lohan says she has the best work ethic in Tinseltown.

In a recent interview, the “Mean Girls” actress did a bit of bragging about her penchant for ambition, giving herself props for putting her nose to the grindstone.

Lady GaGa Continues to Lower Fashion Bar

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Okay, what is this nonsense. Come on Lady Gaga.

We know you are trying to push the fashion envelope and whatnot, and look as weird as you possibly can. But not even you can pull off a giant button on your head.

Sometimes, there is a thing as trying too hard. Instead of putting buttons on your head, why not focus on removing any and all buttons and the rest of your clothes.

That Lady Gaga nude Rolling Stone cover was quite popular, after all, and will surely get you more of the attention you clearly desire than this will. We're just saying.

Gaga Over FashionGive Us a Break

Where Lady Gaga comes up with these ideas, no one can say.

Fortunately, this low point in celebrity fashion history was debuted at an event a good cause, at least. Lady Gaga attended an AIDS charity gathering held by Body Positive North West in Manchester, England, on Monday.

The 23-year-old singer said: “I have a lot of gay and lesbian friends who are confronted by the fears of that sort of lifestyle. I am a very supportive, proactive woman and I really just wanted to paint with them today.”

Amen to that, Button Head. Click to enlarge more Lady Gaga pictures ...

Kim Kardashian and LaLa Vazquez: Out and About

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

This isn't exactly breaking news, nor is it the most exciting celebrity gossip story you'll read today.

But don't blame us. Blame Kim Kardashian.

If the reality TV star would go back to making sex tapes, or posing nude in Playboy, we could report on something other than the fact that her and LaLa Vazquez went shopping in Beverly Hills this week.

Alas, this is all we have at the moment. Even Kim herself seems bored by this activity, as she's seemingly telling a photographer, in the shot below, that there are more interesting things to snap pictures of than her jaunt across the street:

Chris Brown: Held Out of BET Awards

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Given his high-profile legal woes as of late, Chris Brown was reportedly pulled from this past weekend’s BET Awards performer roster, a move that was encouraged by multiple parties.

An inside source revealed that the Reverend Al Sharpton was one of the objectors to Brown’s presence at the event.  “Al made such a fuss to the BET executives that they pulled Chris.”


Debbie Rowe Trying to Contact Jackson Family

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson's ex-wife and mother of his two eldest kids, has left messages in hopes of getting in touch with the late singer's family.

She's been unsuccessful so far, according to reports.

"We've been trying to reach them at different numbers," says Marc Schaffel, a former Jackson business associate who's close with Debbie Rowe. "We don't know if who we have been leaving messages with have gotten the messages."

Rowe is the legal parent of Prince Michael Jackson I (a.k.a. Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr.), 12, and Paris Jackson, 11, and most sources close to the situation think that she can likely obtain custody of the two children if she chooses.

Jackson's third child, Prince Michael Jackson II (a.k.a. Blanket), 7, was born to Michael via an unnamed surrogate who has never once been identified.

The children's grandmother and Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson, was granted temporary guardianship after filing a petition in L.A. Probate Court.

In the 22-page document, Katherine claims the kids "have no relationship with their biological mother" and "have a long established relationship" with her.

Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson

"In all fairness I wouldn't say they are avoiding [Debbie]," Schaffel says, adding that Rowe usually contacts them through Jackson's business office. "Our understanding, though, is that the Jackson family does want contact with Debbie."

Schaffel says there were "several reasons" why Rowe reached out, including wanting "to offer input into a venue where they could have a public memorial."

"Debbie was absolutely devastated by Michael's death," he says.

"They had an incredible bond and friendship even prior to the marriage ... Debbie was a very good friend to Michael during all those years."

While Schaffel won't comment on whether Debbie Rowe has had contact with the kids the past few days, or will seek custody of them herself, "she understands it's a very difficult time for everybody involved, including the children."

"I think everybody involved would say they want to see the children have no more disruption in their life until their father has been put to rest."

Robert Pattinson: Central Park Stud

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Taking full advantage of a beautiful summer day in New York City, Robert Pattinson was spotted filming his new movie “Remember Me” in Central Park this morning (June 30).

Rick Astley Dead? Not So Much!

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Rick Astley is reportedly dead.

Rick Astley is also reportedly NOT dead.

In what appears to be yet another Internet death hoax this week, a fake AP report said the singer-songwriter, most famous for his one-hit wonder single "Never Gonna Give You Up" in 1987, had been found dead in a Berlin Hotel Room.

According to a CNN iReport that appeared to be based on a legitimate AP wire story, Astley's body was found at the Angleterre Hotel in Berlin:

"[Rick Astley] was found unconscious in his hotel bedroom and was unable to be resuscitated. He was pronounced dead on the scene."

Rick Astley

However, the story did not appear on the official AP newswire, and a link on the Digg social networking site took visitors to a YouTube clip of Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up" and said, "You've beeen Rickrolled."

While the people reponsible for this probably thought this was pretty funny, it was a borderline move at best during a week in which several prominent figures died - Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Billy Mays.

Over the past week alone, fake news reports have surfaced saying such stars as Jeff Goldblum, George Clooney, and Natalie Portman had died.

Twitter hacking of Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears' accounts also suggested the premature demise of these talented youngsters. Will it ever end?

Yesterday, Britney Spears debuted her new brunette look (and her new boyfriend), catching fans used to seeing her signature blonde weave locks off guard.

It's probably good she's no longer making changes quite that drastic. We loved Cue Ball back then as much as we do now, but we worried a little bit about her.

When Rihanna left her hotel in New York City yesterday she was dressed in a pair of denim shorts, a loose fitting white shirt and some white flat shoes. But it wasn’t just her outfit that was casual, her whole demeanour seemed much more relaxed than usual.

But that makes sense seeing as her dad recently admitted his daughter is happy she can now put the court case with Chris Brown behind her. He said:

“Chris put her through hell, she’s just relieved it’s all over.”

But that isn’t all he had to say on the matter:

“Chris should have been sent to jail for what he did to my girl. He’s got off lightly.”

Well, we must admit we’re inclined to agree with him on that one.

Do you remember when OK! Magazine published their rather tasteless tribute issue for Jade Goody before she’d actually died? Well their tribute issue for Michael Jackson has managed to eclipse even that.

Billed as ‘The Official Tribute Issue’ and a ‘World Exclusive’ when OK! Magazine say they have ‘The Last Pictures’ they really mean it. The front cover shows medics desperately try to revive Michael Jackson after he suffered a fatal heart attack at his LA home but as we now know their efforts were in vain.

Is this image really a fitting tribute to the King Of Pop or have OK! gone a step too far? We think already know the answer to that question but we’d still love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Yesterday was Katie Price and Peter Andre’s daughter Princess Tiaammi’s second birthday so it’s hardly surprising that both parents were keen to spend some time with their little girl.

In the morning mum-of-three Katie took Princess and Junior to Toys R Us to pick up some presents and then in the afternoon it was daddy’s turn so Katie dropped the two kids off at her estranged hubby’s new house.

Despite being just a few feet away from each other the atmosphere was frosty and the former couple managed to keep their distance. Eeeek, awkwardness!!

Anyway, later that very same day we caught up with a happier looking Pete taking his kids to a funfair in Brighton to celebrate his daughters special day. So all’s well that ends well.

Jon and Kate Gosselin to Shun Celebrity Gossip Tabloids

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

After whining about tabloid coverage of their lives to tabloids, Kate and Jon Gosselin, whose unraveling marriage has dominated headlines lately, have released a joint statement to tabloids saying they no longer wish to speak to tabloids.

The phrase too little, too late comes to mind.

In their first joint statement since announcing their divorce to the surprise of no one last week, Jon and Kate Gosselin say they are done with celebrity news:

“During this very difficult time we will be working to focus solely on the needs of our family. This includes no longer commenting publicly or reacting to media stories and speculation. Our goal is to do the very best for our children."

The statement continues: "That will be done as privately as possible. We appreciate the understanding, support and well wishes from so many. Thank you.”

Wow guys, doing something with the kids in mind? A novel concept! One would think this thought process would occur before whoring them out on a reality show, then banging the random teacher and/or bodyguard, but good for you!

Tonight’s episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 will be a retrospective attempt to gloss over the ugliness of multiple affairs and keep viewers focused on the cute kids look at the Gosselins, who were married for 10 years until last Monday.

That's the latest word on this rumored romance.

And it comes to us from The Hangover star himself.

Although they had a romantic dinner at Il Cantorini in New York City earlier this month, Bradley Cooper insists he and Jennifer Aniston are, yes, “just friends.”

“She’s a friend of mine,” Bradley said.

“Simply, simply, just a friend. She’s someone who is super, super known. If someone says hello to her, it’s given that he’s fallen in love with her. So, no. No."

"She’s a very, interesting woman, but she’s simply a friend,” he said, according to E!

Well, that officially clears up the rumor-filled relationship status of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston in no uncertain terms ... or does it!?

We appreciate the attempt to stay under the radar, especially in the early stages of the relationship if they are dating, but we're not buying it!

Thoughts? Are they dating and trying to play it cool, or are they really just friends? And do Bradley and Jen make a good couple?

Michael Jackson Will Surfaces; Estate in Court

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Michael Jackson's lawyer has a copy of the late singer's will and he intends to file it with the court, according to a report this afternoon on TMZ.

The Jackson family doesn't have a copy of the will, which is currently in possession of attorney John Branca. It's unclear how many wills Michael Jackson made out and when, but Branca believes he's looking at the most current.

Branca says he has a signed will by Michael Jackson that he intends to file within 30 days. It is unclear at this time what Jackson's will might say.

John Branca has a long history with Jackson, having brokered the singer's famous deal for Jackson to purchase The Beatles' publishing catalogue in 1985.

Branca and Jackson stopped working together in 2006, but interestingly, he was re-hired just weeks ago. Michael died Thursday of cardiac arrest.

So far, the confirmed autopsy results are unclear as to the cause. The leaked autopsy results from earlier today are apparently completely fabricated.

Michael Jackson, Parents

Meanwhile, initial papers have been filed with the court to probate Michael Jackson's estate, and it seems Jackson's mom and dad don't know Michael had a will.

The petition was filed by Michael's parents, Joe and Katherine Jackson, who also filed a petition to obtain guardianship of Michael's children in court today.

But the odd thing regarding the will is that the Jacksons filed the papers saying the music icon died "intestate" - or in layman's terms, without a will.

The petition asks that Katherine Jackson be named as administrator of the will, meaning she wants to call the shots (and receive a commission, most likely).

The papers say Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael's two older children, Michael Jr. (Prince I) and Paris, will be served with notice of a hearing.

More details as the story develops.

Meanwhile, two photos believed to be from Jackson's final tour rehearsal at L.A.'s Staples Center (Tuesday, June 23) have surfaced. Click to enlarge:

Britney Spears: A Boyfriend (and Husband) Restrospective

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Britney Spears is dating her agent, Jason Trawick.

With fans of the singer almost universally lauding her new relationship with this slightly older, solid individual, questions of whether he is "the one" have already popped up. Of course, this is not the first time a man has been in this position.

Far from it.

Below, The Hollywood Gossip reflects on the men in Britney's life. As was the case with our recent Paris Hilton boyfriend retrospective, the list is not short.

Reg Jones Pic

1996: Reg Jones. Britney's first boyfriend is alleged to have nabbed her virginity when she was just 14. This explains so much regarding l'il Jamie Lynn.

Britney and Justin

1999-2002: Justin Timberlake. For a time Britney and Justin were the first couple of crappy, mass-produced pop music. Then she cheated on him with Wade Robson and went downhill, while he became a true music star in his solo career.

fred

2002: Fred Durst. The Limp Bizkit frontman got it on with Spears after her breakup with JT, forever damaging any credibility he once had as a rock musician, but probably gathering some amazing material to brag about to friends at bars.

Best. Kiss. Ever.

2003: Madonna. Okay, sorry, there was no actual relationship between Madonna and Britney Spears. But c'mon, one of the best Britney Spears pics and hottest moments in girl-on-girl action history has to count for something. Right? Right.

Party Time

2004: Jason Alexander. Sure, they were only married for 55 hours until she had that $h!t annulled. But think about it, he must have gotten lucky at least once. They got wasted and married in Vegas! Who actually does that?

A Pregnant Britney Spears

2004-2006: Kevin Federline. For about two years, Kevin Federline made an honest woman out of Britney Spears. They had two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, just the cutest things ever. At some point, though, she realized that she was Britney Spears, and that she was married to Kevin Federline.

Britney Spears, J.R. Rotem

2006: J.R. Rotem. He tapped that wheelbarrow style. Enough said.

Bohen

2007: Isaac Cohen. Isaac and Britney really seemed like they had a good thing going, and they did, until she went bat$h!t crazy and they broke up. Issac later cashed in, giving a classic interview about their marathon boink sessions.

Troubled BritneyJason Filyaw Picture

2007: Jason Filyaw. This random rocker developed a relationship with the singer, even going so far as to say he was in love with her on MySpace, then went AWOL.

Britney Spears, Howie Day

2007: Howie Day. The lame excuse for a singer followed in Filyaw's footsteps, but things went south when she OD'd. A rehab romance is doomed from the start.

Britney Spears, No-Neck Dude

2007: Daimon Shippen. Britney and oafish bodyguard Daimon dated briefly during her prime meltdown days. He fell off the face of the Earth almost immediately.

Brit Brit

2007-2008: Adnan Ghalib. This shady fella had been working as a paparazzo, taking photographs of Spears outside her house, when one night she invited him into her car and began a sexual relationship with him, natch.

Chase Benz and Britney Spears Pic

2009: Chase Benz. Britney was romantically linked to Chase, one of her Circus tour backup dancers, earlier this year. More than likely, though, they simply danced suggestively during her traveling S&M show and people got the wrong idea.

Britwick

2009: Jason Trawick. Finally, a stable guy. One that Jamie Spears knows and approves of. We imagine they'll get married someday for that reason alone.

What do you think? Is Jason Trawick the one? Should Britney marry him?

document.getElementById('mut_583').value = readCookie('mut');
OMG yes, they are made for each other!
Maybe someday, but it's too soon now!

Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf Heat Up Screen… and Each Other?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Thanks to a $201 million haul for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf were on top of the box office this weekend.

But were the co-stars also on top of one another?!?

According to The New York Daily News, the actors sat next to each other during a dinner with 10 friends, including director Oliver Stone, at Nobu on Thursday. But that wasn't all!

“They definitely seemed into each other,” said a witness, who added that LaBeouf followed Fox out the door around 10 p.m.

Meanwhile, another spy said the pair partied together in West Hollywood earlier in the week and “Shia couldn’t keep his eyes off of Megan: He literally watched her like a hawk all night.”

Melissa Rycroft: Engaged to Tye Strickland?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

There may not have been a rose ceremony, and it may not have taken place in front of any TV cameras, but reports indicate that Melissa Rycroft has been proposed to once again.

On Friday night, according to The Dallas Morning News, Rycroft and boyfriend Tye Strickland showed up at Brio Tuscan Grille in Southlake, Texas. They were joined by a pair of older couples, rumored to be each side's parents.

Melissa Rycroft and Tye Strickland

This spring, Tye Strickland accompanied Melissa Rycroft to Dancing with the Stars training. Now, he'll accompany her to bed every night for the rest of their lives!

As a vase of fresh flowers sat on the table, whispers around the restaurant turned to the fact that Melissa and Tye got engaged earlier in the evening.

The newspaper cites sources that claim Rycroft was presented with a ring inside of a box that featured its own internal lighting (to make the diamond shine).

If this is true, the controversial Bachelor finale in March will have resulted in two happy endings: one for Rycroft and Strickland; and one for Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, who are together and very much in love, according to THG insiders.

Kate Gosselin Cookbook Postponed By Publisher

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Christian publisher Zonder van looks like it's going to postpone the debut date of Kate Gosselin's next book, Love is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories.

It was due out in November. But that was before the grating star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 was in the middle of an ugly public divorce from husband Jon Gosselin.

A Jon and Kate retrospective looking back at the couple's 10-year marriage airs tonight as TLC tries to gloss over the nastiness of the past few months.

But the book jacket's promise of "an inside look at one of America's most close-knit families" doesn't have the quite same ring it used to now, does it?

The book was to feature Kate Gosselin's favorite recipes, along with her tips on eating organically and "meaningful mealtime blessings." Maybe now she can rewrite it with a recipe for humble pie. Ohh, snap, you got served there, Kate.

J. GosselinGrating

Jon and Kate Gosselin in what have become very familiar situations.

Postponing - or even outright canceling - the book will undoubtedly hurt both Kate Gosselin and the publisher right where it counts, on the bottom line.

But Maureen "Moe" Girkins, the CEO of Zondervan, now says that the publisher plans to "work with Kate to reassess the schedule for her next book."

Kate's first two books published by Zondervan, Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets and Eight Little Faces, were bestsellers.

No word if the publisher has acquired the rights to Deanna Hummel's forthcoming memoir, Hummers by Hummel: How I Seduced Jon Gosselin.

It's hard to imagine who would by a cookbook by Kate at this point, but who knows. Maybe she can put out a calendar of her bikini photos instead?

"Wussup everyone???? Its the new Mrs. Hank Baskett!!!!!!!!! ahhhh hahah ahahha!! I cant believe im a married woman! yayyyyy. Just wanted to make sure u all remember that theres a brand new episode of KENDRA tonight!"

That was Kendra Wilkinson, celebrating Saturday's fairy tale wedding to Hank Baskett and plugging her reality show last night as only she can. Poignant.

Just be glad you just have to read that and not actually hear her laughing.

No Kendra Wilkinson wedding pictorial has been released, but it was "a wedding fit for a princess" at the L.A. Playboy mansion, according to witnesses.

Here's a nice overhead shot of Hank Baskett marrying Kendra's cleavage ...

BASKETT CATCH: Kendra Wilkinson grabs a man - for life - in Hank.

Among the guests in attendance were Kendra's former boyfriend, Hugh Hefner, his three current girlfriends (the Shannon Twins and Crystal Harris) and scores of other Playboy bunnies he has more than likely boned. Heartwarming.

Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, who starred with Wilkinson in The Girls Next Door, were bridesmaids. Hefner was originally going to walk her down the aisle, but Wilkinson changed her mind and her brother Colin did the honors.

About 500 guests, including many Philadelphia Eagles teammates of Hank's, in all were on hand as the pair exchanged vows on the front lawn of Kendra's old home.

The newlyweds jetted off to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia for a nine-day honeymoon Sunday. Here's hoping they party with Amy Winehouse while they're there.

Robert Pattinson: Still Filming New Movie, Still Stirring Up Romance Rumors

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Turn away, Twilight fans!

In the photos below, Robert Pattinson is giving a large stuffed animal to a woman that is NOT Kristen Stewart!

** UPDATE: Phew. We're being told the woman in the following pictures is Emile de Ravin and the images are courtesy of a movie she is filming with Pattinson, Remember Me.

Robert and Emile

It doesn't seem like Stewart has anything to worry about... unless certain reports from the film's set are to be believed. A witness told Life & Style:

"[Robert and Emile] both seemed to be having a great time and looked genuinely happy to be working together."

This is causing extreme heartbreak for Stewart because, in the words of a Twilight insider: "Rob flirted with Kristen when they were filming, so she can't help but wonder what he's doing with Emilie."

Uh-oh. As you click on the pics below of Pattinson and de Ravin, let us know: Do you think these two are hooking up?

Billy Mays Death Due to Heart Failure, Not Head Trauma

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Billy Mays, who took the art of the TV sales pitch to a new level, died of an heart attack Sunday morning, Florida authorities close to the situation revealed.

A medical examiner in Florida says Mays showed no evidence of head trauma, despite being struck on the head on board an airliner that made a rough landing.

That flight took place on Saturday night.

The TV advertising guru arrived home safely, despite the difficult landing, but Billy Mays was found dead early Sunday morning at his Tampa house.

Preliminary autopsy results show that Mays suffered from hypertensive heart disease, Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams said.

Toxicology and tissue tests will take several weeks before a final cause of death is issued, he said. But the autopsy showed no evidence of trauma to the head, either external or internal, despite Billy Mays hitting it on the plane.

The autopsy showed that Mays' heart was heavier than normal because the left ventricle had enlarged, a symptom of heart disease, Adams said, also noting that investigators had ruled out prescription drug abuse as a cause of his death.

Billy Mays was taking prescription painkillers Tramadol and hydrocodone for hip pain, but pill counts showed that Mays had taken the correct amount.

Len Goodman: Diagnosed with Cancer

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

As the head judge on Dancing with the Stars, Len Goodman is tasked with handing out 10s to the best performances each week.

Following Goodman's recent admission that he's battling prostate cancer, though, allow us to reverse roles and deliver a top score to this brave dancing expert.

The 65-year old was diagnosed in March, but he told Britain's The Daily Mail that the disease was found early and, following surgery, he feels "right as rain."

Instead of removing the cancerous tumor immediately, Goodman actually continued his role on Dancing with the Stars for two months, critiquing Melissa Rycroft, Gilles Marini and others without showing any signs of the discomfort he was experiencing.

"I could have said 'sorry' and not done the show, but the doctors felt I wasn't riddled with it and it wasn't so far advanced that it was a life-or-death scenario," Goodman told th newspaper. "It takes a few weeks to get everything set up for the operation anyway, so I went ahead and did the show. I had the surgery done as soon as I got back from America."

Feeling fine, Goodman points to the major downside of his cancer scare.

"You can't play golf, which is the biggest blow at the moment."

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

A guardianship petition has been filed for Michael Jackson's children by 79-year-old Katherine Jackson, the late superstar's mother, according to reports.

She is asking the court to appoint her the guardian for all three kids. The petition states the kids have "no relationship with their biological mother."

The biological mother of his youngest child, Prince Michael Jackson II (a.k.a. Blanket) is not known, and believed by most sources to be a surrogate.

According to the petition, the three children of Michael Jackson are in the care of Katherine Jackson and they have "a long established relationship."

Debbie Rowe is named as mother of two kids (ages 12 and 11) in the petition. The petition says the value of Michael Jackson's assets is unknown.

As for Prince Michael II, Michael's third child, in the box where it says "mother" the box is checked "none." His DOB is listed as January 21, 2002.
