Celebrity Teen Idols

Debbie Rowe’s lawyer was happy with the way she acted while reaching a custody agreement with the Jackson family over Michael’s children.

Attorney Eric George said, “The parties engaged in a dignified discussion that resulted in a dignified outcome. The sole consideration between the parties was the best interests of the children. I’m proud to have worked with such professionals who represented Ms. Jackson, and I am particularly proud of Deborah for her integrity and selflessness.”

Stepping out for a bite to eat to kick-start the day, Jessica Alba was spotted picking up breakfast with her daughter Honor and a friend in West Hollywood on Thursday (July 30).

With her baby girl appearing to be a bit testy on this particular morning, the “Sin City” star toted her young love in her arms as the group strolled past awaiting paparazzi.

If you could see our staff right now, you'd notice that each of us has taken our hats off.

For what reason?

To salute George Clooney.

The serial dater and beloved bachelor has made no secret of his enjoyment of the single life. Nor should he.

Clooney's latest bed post notch is Italian model Elisabetta Canalis. We've tracked down the following, old modeling shots of the beauty and it's safe to say that, by George, the actor has done it again!

Whether she is accentuating her cleavage or dressing as Snow White, Elisabetta Canalis is gorgeous.

"I have now become more fussy about who I date. And in any case my future boyfriend will have to share my bed with [her mini Doberman] Piero, too," Canalis recently told Italian magazine Tu. "Before in love I used to play much more, now I don't want to waste any more time with wrong relationships. I just want someone who can make me find tranquility. I want to get home and find a person who can make me feel good."

Lord knows Clooney can do that!

Looking radiant in red, Penelope Cruz took to the red carpet for the UK film premiere of “Broken Embraces” in London on Thursday (July 30).

Held at Somerset House, the Spanish actress was joined by director Pedro Almodovar for the day’s fun-filled press duties.

In St. Clairesville Ohio, two police chiefs are being accused of breaking into the home of Sarah Jessica Parker’s surrogate to scoop up information for tabloid material and have been arrested.

Belmont County jail has confirmed that Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter and Bridgeport Police Chief Chad Dojack were taken in Wednesday night and released.

She’s always up for a high-profile evening out, and last night (July 29) Mandy Moore was spotted at the Express launch of the TXT L8TER Denim Campaign.

The “All Good Things” songstress looked city chic as she arrived at Nobu in Los Angeles, sporting a black leather jacket teamed with a pair of distressed denim jeans and buckle-laden black leather boots.

She’s been seen riding on the back of George Clooney’s motorcycle as of late, and Elisabetta Canalis is the envy of millions of women as she settles into the role of the hunky actor’s new girlfriend.

The Italian model and television personality is well-known on the international scene, and in a recent interview (prior to dating Clooney) she revealed that her man must be a dog lover.

Last week, reports suggested that a 25-year-old Norwegian rapper called Omer Bhatti was the love child of Michael Jackson, after photographs of Omer surfaced weeping with the Jackson family during Michael’s tribute concert.

In light of those claims, Omer has strongly denied being in anyway related to the Jackson family. But now Michael’s father Joe has explicitly said that Omer – who knew MJ for 13-years and even lived at Neverland for a time – is in fact the lovechild of Michael Jackson.

During a yet-to-be broadcast interview Joe admitted that he knew Michael had another son. He then went on to say this about Omer:

“He looks like a Jackson. He acts like a Jackson He can dance like a Jackson…”

So, is Joe Jackson crazy, or is he telling the truth?

Sure, it's kind of the nature of The Bachelorette, but Anderson Cooper did not hold back when asking Jillian Harris about juggling so many men on the show.

Filling in on Good Morning America, AC sat down with Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski to discuss the just-completed fifth season of the ABC reality series.

His first question: "How many men did you have sex with?"

Clearly uncomfortable with the line of questioning, Ed Swiderski tried to defer to his fiancee, and said that like everything else in life, "you get used to it."

Jill didn't bite on some of the more risque questions, but did give us a little insight into all the kissing that went on over the course of three months.

Jillian Harris: "I kissed, um, 10 guys, but only four of them with tongue."
Anderson Cooper: "You know what, I just threw up in my mouth."

Check out a portion of the funny, awkward interview below ...

Anderson Cooper: Bachelorette Grilling!

Getting down to business, Jennifer Aniston was spotted hard at work on the set of her new flick “The Bounty” in New York City today (July 30).

The “Rumor Has It” hottie looked absolutely fabulous as she confidently strutted around the lot in a grey top with khaki belted shorts and sandals.

Although many women are wishing they could be compared to Angelina Jolie’s looks, Megan Fox is not one of them and is sick of people comparing the two actresses.

“I think it’s cause she has tattoos really, I think a lack of creativity on the media’s part,” said the sultry actress. “I am brunette with tattoos, I curse and I have made mention of sex before. I joke about it which people find outrageous so they want to constantly compare that to her.”

Mel Gibson going off on a random dude (one is accusing him of this) would not surprise us in the least. Not after the incident with sugar t!ts way back.

But police think the guy is full of it this time.

The actor's "victim" claims he ripped apart his t-shirt for trying to snap a picture of Mel and girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva while they were at a club.

The guy went to LAPD Hollywood Division and filed a report against Gibson. Law enforcement says the "victim" suffered no injuries and may be lying.

After interviewing the man, cops believe it was impossible for Mel Gibson to have even made contact with him, as the star was wedged in a booth with his pregnant girlfriend and couldn't have realistically grabbed the dude's shirt.

This tool appears to have ripped his own shirt and blamed Mel.

The man was asked to walk three times before the alleged incident took place. Security told him no photography was allowed in the club, but he persisted.

Cops say witnesses say the same thing - the guy made up the allegations of battery. No one saw his shirt ripped when he was leaving the venue.

Gibson will probably not even be interviewed. Case closed.

Summit Entertainment isn’t keeping quiet about the replacement of Rachelle Lefevre with Bryce Dallas Howard for the third Twilight movie, as the company says that Lefevre has no reason to be stunned - especially since it was her own fault.

“We at Summit Entertainment are disappointed by Rachelle Lefevre’s recent comments which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the studio,” a press statement reads. “Her decision to discuss her version of the scheduling challenges publicly has forced the studio to set the record straight and correct the facts.”

Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, will get custody of his three children under terms of a deal that's just been reached, according to reports.

According to reports, Debbie Rowe, the mother of the Michael's eldest two children, Prince Michael I and Paris Jackson, will get visitation, but no cash.

Though he did not go into specifics, Katherine's attorney Londell McMillan said on CBS' The Early Show Thursday: "It's an agreement, an agreement for the best interests of the children. This is not a money deal. This is not about money."

Since the singer's June 25 death, Katherine Jackson, 79, was named the legal guardian and has been in control of Prince, Paris and Michael's third child, Blanket.

Blanket (a.k.a. Prince Michael Jackson II) was born to an unnamed surrogate, though recent tabloid reports have suggested that his biological mother is Pia Bhatti.

That would be the mother of Omer Bhatti, MJ's supposed "secret son."

But back to Debbie Rowe. The singer's ex-wife has sent mixed signals on the subject of whether she wants to be the children's guardian since he passed away.

NBC's Today show reports that under the new deal, Debbie Rowe, who will not receive money, will retain her parental rights but has agreed not to claim custody.

Katherine Jackson will raise Michael Jackson's kids, as he requested. Debbie Rowe will be allowed visitation with Prince Michael and Paris Jackson, her biological children.

NBC also reports that Prince and Paris know Debbie Rowe is their mother, and as a central part of the agreement, they will begin to have a relationship with her. A child psychologist will supervise the process, according to reports.

McMillan said , "We will be making an announcement shortly on that issue, and all the parties are resolved. There is no situation better for these children than for them to be raised and reared in the loving care of Mrs. Katherine Jackson."

He dismissed reports that crazy Joe Jackson shouldn't be involved in raising the star's children. Said McMillan, "I don't think it's valid at all. I think that Joe Jackson is the husband of Mrs. Jackson, but he is not living in Los Angeles."

Katherine Jackson was also left 40 percent of Michael Jackson's estate, whereas Joe and Debbie Rowe were omitted from the will altogether.

Michael appointed his two longtime business partners, John Branca and John McClain, as co-executors. Katherine wants to be included on all future dealings regarding the estate, but denies she is challenging the executors or will.

Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl recently lamented the 17-hour day she spent on the set of her hit show on the first day back from its summer hiatus.

In fact, the Emmy winner kept bringing this up, only half-jokingly, during her press tour to promote her new movie, The Ugly Truth. It was a little weird.

Well, what if the 17-hour day in question was Katherine's own fault? Oh yes, really. It turns out the "cruel" shooting schedule was only to accommodate her.

The producers of Grey's Anatomy actually graciously shuffled things so she could go off and promote The Ugly Truth, paying a ton of overtime in the process.

Katherine Heigl is known for her acting talent. And loud mouth.

Then again, Heigl was "totally kidding" when she told journalists, talk show hosts and everyone who would listen that she wanted to "embarrass" the show.

Much like it was probably all a joke when she didn't submit her name for Emmy Award consideration the year after winning for "lack of sufficient material."

Hilarious, indeed. Yes, Katherine Heigl pictures are hot. But she needs to shut her yap once in awhile and stop bashing the show that made her famous.

British Reality TV star, Imogen Thomas, got topless yesterday in Marbella, Spain. And no, she had no idea the cameras were around, she was totally acting normal. Good lord, these boobs are simply awesome. Honestly, I had no idea who the heck she was until I saw these boob pictures. If this is reality in Britain, I need to get a passport. More Imogen Thomas topless pictures. Happy Clicking…

Jessica Simpson ticked off the Indians this week when a Reporter asked her if she planned to take back the boat she bought for former boyfriend, Tony Romo. She proclaimed that she isn’t an Indian Giver. Maybe its because she can’t get into the gate to repo the boat? Here is more from Us Magazine.

Jacqueline L. Pata, executive director of the National Congress of American Indians, tells Usmagazine.com Simpson isn’t the only person who uses the word in a derogatory sense.
The concept of Indians giving and sharing with one another is where the term originated, she explains, but has somehow morphed into an insensitive phrase that stereotypes Native people as ones who give and then take back.
“Most people flippantly use the comment ‘Indian giver’ without realizing its true meaning, Pata tells Us.

Debbie Rowe and the Jacksons have reached an agreement in the battle over the kiddos that aren’t hers. Yeah, weird eh? Anyways, Rowe gets to keep her originally agreement with Michael, minus the occasional SMS message reply whereas she says, “no, you look normal honey.” Here is more from TMZ.

Sources tell us, Rowe has agreed that Katherine Jackson will be the guardian of Michael’s children, subject to the judge’s approval.
Rowe will get visitation of the two children she had with Michael.
But here’s what’s interesting — Rowe wants and will get a psychologist who will visit the children and help them adjust to her being in their lives on a meaningful basis.
Rowe will maintain her parental rights. We’re told the agreement does not specify the amount of visitation.

This is awesome. Love the Kobe remarks. Wow. Funny stuff.

Mischa Barton may be starring on The Beautiful Life this fall.

But, sadly, no description could be more ill-fitting for the actress herself these days.

Following talk that Barton was admitted to the psychiatric ward of Cedars-Sinai Hospital because she was strung out on coke, a source is confirming the rumor that the actress also tried to commit suicide.

"She tried to kill herself," an insider told E! News, while another source added: "She was being crazy that day [when she went to Cedars Sinai Medical Center]."

Of course, Barton's rep classifies the suicide allegation as "absolutely false."

He said to Ted Casablanca of E! News: "Your source is far from knowledgeable, as nothing they've told you is true, inclusive of the suicide attempt."

The same rep did not offer any actual reason for why is client was admitted to the hospital in the first place, however.

As for her status on the aforementioned CW series this fall?

"The network and studio have been supportive of Mischa's casting and subsequent recovery all along. Thanks for checking, though," he bitterly replied.

After interviewing a man who accused Mel Gibson of tearing his shirt upon trying to take a picture of the actor at Playhouse in Hollywood, cops are certain it is a lie.

The latest reports tell that police believe it was impossible for Gibson to have even made contact with the man and that Gibson was at a booth with his pregnant girlfriend and could not have grabbed the guy’s shirt.

Doing his best to look like a doting father, Jon Gosselin was spotted playing with her daughters at home in Reading, Pennsylvania today (July 30).

The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” dad was all about looking like a responsible parent in front of the TLC cameras, tying two tin cans together with a string to form a makeshift telephone.

While she has certainly been known for her fair share of snafus, Lily Allen may have topped even herself with the strange look she showcased last night (July 29).

The “Smile” songstress stepped out for dinner in London, sporting a multi-colored fright wig and glittery silver eye shadow as she walked past a gaggle of shutterbugs.

Mischa Barton went into psychiatric hold on July 15 and has recently left to return to work - but many friends are worried about her.

CW’s, The Beautiful Life, has producers confident that Barton can handle her workload even though friends are doubtful.

We don't wanna kick Kim Kardashian when she's down.

But the reality TV star is giving us no choice.

The day after she and Reggie Bush ended their relationship, Kardashian appeared on the Alexa Chung Show on MTV. And, for reasons unknown, she was wearing the outfit seen below.

Forget the hole in her heart, as a result of her and Reggie's break-up; why is there a hole in this blouse's shoulder?

What do you think of Kim's outfit?

Taking some time away from her hectic schedule, AnnaLynne McCord was spotted out at Nobu restaurant in West Hollywood last night (July 29).

The “90210” hottie was joined by what appears to be her new boyfriend as she passed by the paparazzi and headed directly inside the celebrity-popular eatery.

Out enjoying what was a lovely evening, Rihanna went to dinner at Da Silvano in New York City on Wednesday night (July 29).

Looking gorgeous in an all black ensemble, the Barbadian beauty was escorted out of the popular Big Apple eatery following her nighttime meal.

Turn away, Robert Pattinson!

Your rumored girlfriend is pretending to make a move on another man!

At this year's Comic-Con festival, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart were asked about the increased focus on their characters' relationship in New Moon. With Edward away, the two almost kiss, as shown in this still shot from the movie.

Similarly, in the video below, Stewart lunges at Lautner and almost plants a wet one on him.

"We get along really, really well," Taylor said afterward.

It sure seems that way. Should Pattinson be worried?

A Stewart Smooch

Enjoying a relaxing afternoon in Beverly Hills, Jordana Brewster was spotted leaving a hair salon yesterday (July 29).

The “Fast and Furious” actress seemed to be in a good mood as she strolled past the paparazzi, stopping to pose for pics and sign autographs before heading off.

Kevin Jonas recently proposed to long time girlfriend Danielle Deleasa - and the two may have a wedding in paradise!

The couple is rumored to be celebrating their nuptials in the Bahamas, where they met in May of 2007 while their families were on the island vacationing, making it the ultimate romantic place to tie the knot.

Is there anything she can’t do? Jennifer Aniston and producing partners have protected the financing for the actress in an upcoming movie called Goree Girls, a women’s prison musical set in the 1940s

“Jennifer has finally signed on the dotted line to make Goree Girls her next movie as both star and producer,” a source said. “She is gearing up to shoot this during the first eight weeks of 2010.”

Enjoying some mother-daughter bonding, Katie Holmes and Suri were spotted on the set of “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” earlier today (July 29).

The “Teaching Mrs. Tingle” actress and her adorable toddler looked like a couple of pampered divas as they made use of a personal umbrella-holding assistant as strolled around in the rain.

She’s having a fantastic summer with the success of her All I Ever Wanted tour, and last night (July 29) Kelly Clarkson took her road show to Columbus, Ohio for a performance at the Ohio State Fair.

Following a groove-filled set by opener Eric Hutchinson, the “Since U Been Gone” songstress took the stage in front of a packed house.

She has quite a range as an actress, and yesterday (July 29) the usually-glamorous Katherine Heigl was spotted looking a bit trashy on the set of a new project.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” gal donned a hair rag, purple sweater, nightgown, and furry slippers as she filmed a scene outside a silver airstream trailer.

He doesn’t need any more bad press, but after a scuffle in a Los Angeles night club last evening (July 29), that’s exactly what Mel Gibson is gonna get.

The “Lethal Weapon” stud was reportedly hanging out with his new girlfriend Oksana Gregorieva at the launch party for Hollywood’s Playhouse when the incident occurred.

Two weeks ago, rumors began circulating that a Norwegian dancer, Omer Bhatti, is the secret son of Michael Jackson, a love child resulting from the King of Pop's one-night stand with his mother, Pia Bhatti, a quarter-century ago.

Speculation then increased when photos surfaced of Omer Bhatti sitting with Jackson's brothers at his memorial service July 7, and when it was revealed that Bhatti lived at Neverland Ranch with Jackson when he was a kid.

But last week, according to The Mirror (UK), Omer said that while he and the star were very close, and he was "like a son" to him, they are not related.

That made sense ... at least as much as anything regarding Michael Jackson can. But now, Michael's insane father, Joe, is weighing in on the subject.

In an interview with NewsOne, Joe Jackson is now saying Michael Jackson is the father of Omer Bhatti, and that he always knew Omer as his son.

Compelling, yes. But there are a couple of problems with this account:

1. Joe Jackson is typically not lucid.
2. When Joe Jackson does have a coherent thought, it more than likely is based around a shameless attempt to cash in on someone or something.

More than likely, Joe either has no clue where he is at this moment, or is angling to make money off of this story somehow. A pimp always finds a way.

The kid himself has explained the relationship with Michael, and with a lack of anything more concrete to go on, it's still hard to believe that the 25-year-old is the secret love child of Michael Jackson. Oh, and Omer Bhatti is WHITE, people.

Here's the recent Joe Jackson interview in question ...

Joe Jackson on Omer Bhatti

Enjoying some hard-earned time off from their “Twilight” franchise, Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz were spotted at the Express TXT L8TR event last night (July 29).

The “New Moon” costars looked to be having a marvelous time as they hobnobbed with fellow attendees and struck a few poses for the paparazzi.

Ju'Not Joyner made it to the final 36 contestants on season eight of American Idol.

This gives the aspiring singer a unique perspective into the country's top-rated show, one he used to either exploit for personal gain this week; or speak the truth about how the competition is rigged by producers.

In an online chat with fellow semifinalists such as Felicia Barton and Kendall Beard, Joyner went off on the series.

He declared "it's a fixed thing if I ever saw one," and made the following accusations:

• American Idol producers labeled him a "troublemaker" because he questioned the show's contract (which he referred to as a "slavetract");
• He was cut from the show due to his concerns over this contract;
• The show makes contestants use the same lawyer;
• Producers had it out for him after he refused to let them highlight his background on air: "They wanted me to put that out to the world and expose my personal business for ratings. I wouldn't do it," he said.

Most damning of all, Joyner says the results of American Idol are fixed. He said that Kris Allen is a talented musician, but:

"The producers know who they want and they slant it to reflect that. They fix it in a way that makes you surprised but it's still manipulated. Think about it...ADAM, ADAM, ADAM, then...Kris....SURPRISE SMITHCHES!!!!"

In conclusion, Joyner scoffs at the notion that Idol is a regular talent show, writing in the chat:

"It's a reality show with writers!! We're all actors. All these shows have writers that guide the public opinion. The Hills, Real World. All of them. Do you think a billion-dollar enterprise is subject to the whim of the public?"

The Hollywood Gossip take: Joyner's comments, while seemingly inflammatory and newsworthy, are really not that groundbreaking to anyone that watches American Idol.

It's clear the judges make comments based on which performer they want to see move on, often at the expense of one individual's singing ability for another's marketing potential. It's also obvious the show focuses on interesting backstories, as the constant mentioning of Danny Gokey's wife's tragic passing proved this season.

But so what? This is a TV show. It needs viewers and ratings.

At the end of the day, Allison Iraheta, Allen and Adam Lambert were the three best singers in the competition. Almost every season, there's little to complain about at the end.

Until Joyner can provide some sort of proof that the show is truly rigged, we're chalking his comments up to bitterness over his placement. What do you think?

As we reported yesterday, Tony Romo has been linked to another woman named Natalie Smith almost immediately after he broke up with Jessica Simpson.

But Smith's father is quick to shoot down reports that they're involved.

"His breakup brought all these rumors that are not true," says John Smith, Associate Athletic Director at Romo's alma mater, Eastern Illinois University.

He admits that Tony Romo and Natalie Smith met up for lunch in Dallas last week, but says his entire family – including his wife and three daughters – have "always been friends" with the Cowboys quarterback since he was in college.

"Natalie feels so bad," adds her dad.

"Just being friends with Tony has now disrupted everyone [from] talking about Tony and football and are instead talking about Tony and all of this."

With reports about his love life like this surfacing regularly, the newly-single (or not) Dallas Cowboys quarterback is set to report to training camp this week.

"What is funny about all this is that if Tony hadn't broken up with Jessica, nothing would ever have been written about him having lunch with Natalie," adds her dad.

Simpson, meanwhile, has started hitting the town in Los Angeles after keeping a low profile for the first few weeks after getting dumped and locked out by Romo.

She joined a large group of friends and family – including her parents Joe and Tina – at Katana's Red Sun BBQ on July 26 for a belated birthday celebration.

The next day, the singer arrived at West Hollywood's House of Pascal Mouawad for a CD release party for Candy Shop by An-Ya, an artist on her dad's label.

"She was in high spirits, joking, laughing, meeting people," says a Jessica Simpson source. "You wouldn't even know she was upset about a breakup."

Natalie Smith's father says she's not the "other woman."

The custody case regarding the late Michael Jackson’s kids has finally reached an end, and the children’s grandmother Katherine Jackson will be their legal custodian.

According to Katherine’s attorney Londell McMillan, everything has been settled, with Debbie Rowe (the mother of two of the kids) receiving visitation rights, but no money.

When ESPN reporter Erin Andrews spotted "suspicious people" lurking around her Georgia home last week, she called 911 on them and did not hold back.

Describing to the dispatcher just how she feels about her recent video scandal, her call for assistance soon turned into a frustrated, foul-mouthed rant.

The hotel peep hole video of Erin Andrews naked, which she did not know was being filmed, has catapulted the beautiful reporter into the news in a manner she never envisioned, nor asked for. And she's rightfully upset about it.

In the call, before she even says her name, a pissed-off Erin says she has paparazzi outside her house, calling them "jerks," "a$$holes" and pointing out that "I've been in the news recently about being in a hotel naked."

The dispatcher's response? "Oh ... I'm so sorry."

Erin Andrews has not had the best of weeks.

Asked to read off the license plate number of photographers' car, Erin, who was with her mom, said: "Let me see if I can read it. I can not believe these guys are knocking on my door. Such a$$holes! ... Mom, you're totally being obvious."

Increasingly frustrated about the nude hotel video, Erin goes on to say, "I did nothing wrong and I'm being treated like f***ing Britney Spears and it sucks."

It turns out that the dudes were just news reporters hoping to secure an interview with Andrews, and were allowed by police to leave without being cited.

She has always been a big fan of fashion, and last night (July 29) Michelle Trachtenberg was spotted at Intermix for the Rag & Bone celebration.

The “Gossip Girl” hottie looked lovely as she posed for the paparazzi outside the New York City hot spot, sporting a sparkly black jacket over an ivory top with black stretch pants and gold ankle boot heels.

Kourtney Kardashian says her sister is doing great after a break-up with Reggie Bush.

Life & Style says Kim Kardashian is heartbroken.

So, which is it? Somewhere in between.

The reality TV star took to her blog late last night and sent a message to fans in light of the news that she's no longer dating the New Orleans Saints running back. Kim wrote:

I truly appreciate all the love and support I've been receiving over the last 48 hours. I just want you all to know I'm doing okay, and I really appreciate your support. I've been reading all your comments and I really have the best fans ever! I love you guys!

We love you, too, Kim. And we hope this hiccup doesn't prevent you from posing naked again any time soon.

Kim Kardashian is sad. Send in your well wishes to her right now!

Maintaining her fantastic physical form, Charlize Theron was spotted on her way to a gym in West Hollywood yesterday afternoon (July 29).

The “Italian Job” hottie was joined by a gal pal, and looked sporty sexy in a screenprinted tank top with stretch Capri shorts and sneakers.
