Jon Gosselin to Appear on Good Morning America, Bash TLC For “Exploiting” Kids

Monday, August 31st, 2009


Jon Gosselin is finally ready to break his silence.

In a formal, sit-down interview, that is. Lord knows that guy runs his mouth to celebrity gossip tabloids pretty much 24-7, resulting in more inopportune sound bites and contradictory statements than you can even keep track of.

Good Morning America scored the first post-divorce interview with the nation's most eligible d-bag bachelor. On Friday, Jon sat down with GMA to talk about ex Kate Gosselin, the network that started it all (TLC) and his future career.

In her recent media tour, Kate Gosselin has remained fairly neutral, or at least just let the softballs sail past her whenever she's asked about Jon.

Will America's biggest player do the same?

A source on set during the taping tells E! that Gosselin was "very open and honest" about his feelings toward Kate and the future of Jon & Kate Plus 8:

"TLC has had him on a gag order and he's sick of it ... Jon basically comes right out and says he's worried the show is exploiting his eight children."

The Biggest Loser

Okay, so he's sick of the cameras following his eight kids around, but that doesn't mean the King of Pimps, who hosted a Las Vegas pool party packed with scantily-clad babes Saturday, is ready to leave the spotlight himself.

"Jon says he doesn't see himself as a celebrity, but because the public now does, it makes it hard to go back to a normal life and a normal job," says the source.

"He wants to stay in the TV industry, and he has a lot of ideas."

Naturally, when Jon got wind of this E! News report, he got on the horn and said the complete opposite: "I'm not saying TLC is exploiting my children."

"I have said on numerous occasions TLC has afforded my kids a better life and provided a better roof on their heads," the lover of Hailey Glassman adds.

He did say that "What I do believe is the media and tabloids covering my family and the show for their own financial gain are the ones exploiting them."

The interview is scheduled to air in the next week.

Audrina Patrige Announces ‘Hills’ Departure

Monday, August 31st, 2009

It has been in the mix for months now, and finally Audrina Patridge has officially announced her departure from “The Hills.”

The “Into the Blue 2” babe told press, “I’m almost done with ‘The Hills.’ We’re in the middle of finishing these episodes, and I’ll be leaving them.”


AnnaLynne McCord, Skin and Bones Host Las Vegas Pool Party

Monday, August 31st, 2009


Remember when we said Las Vegas was growing so desperate for party hosts that it hired Jon Gosselin and Amber Rose?

The city truly showed how hard up it is for celebrities when it actually dug a skeleton out of the ground and propped her up on the red carpet of the Wet Republic pool party at the MGM hotel on Saturday.

Oh... wait. That's actually 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord. Our bad. The protruding bones and utter lack of body mass threw us off.

McCord was in Vegas to wear an ugly bathing suit and promote the second season of her CW hit, which premieres on September 8. It's possible that co-star Shenae Grimes was also on hand, but turned sideways during the event and vanished entirely.

Far Too Thin

It's a little-known fact that AnnaLynne McCord's head weighs more than the rest of her body. Someone really needs to get this actress a cheeseburger. Click on the photos below to see what we mean...

Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson Photo: Revealed!

Monday, August 31st, 2009


It was only a matter of time.

Last week, Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson came out of the woodwork to claim he is Michael Jackson's son - because his name is Prince Michael, obviously.

According to court documents released last week, Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson requested a DNA test to prove he is the biological son of the King of Pop.

TMZ unearthed an image of the supposed secret son when he was a kid. Do you think he's Michael's love child? Here's a photo of "the other" Prince Michael ...

Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson Picture

Is this Michael Jackson's secret love child?

Ron Newt, a close family friend, approached Joe Jackson, whom he was friends with before Michael's death. Newt says Joe denied it and to "leave it alone."

That's in contrast to the way Joe, Michael's dad, reacted when asked if Omer Bhatti is Michael's son. The elder Jackson pretty much confirmed he kind of is.

The "official" Prince Michaels - Michael Jackson, Jr., 12, and Blanket, 7, were raised by MJ and are now with his mother Katherine Jackson, as per his will.

Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson is 24 and just looking for "closure."

The DJ AM Drug of Choice: Crack

Monday, August 31st, 2009


Listening to DJ AM talk about crack being his "drug of choice" is downright chilling, but in a recent interview with MTV News to promote his upcoming reality show about drug abuse (Gone Too Far), the late Adam Goldstein said exactly that.

DJ AM talked described how he bought a crack pipe to show how easy it is. The 36-year-old said, "I bought a crack pipe ... that was my drug of choice."

"And I walked out and I'm holding it," he said.

"And I realized after I was holding it that my palms were sweaty and I was like, 'Wait a minute, this is not smart for me to be holding this right now.'"

He recently signed on to do the MTV reality show Gone Too Far, about getting users off drugs, and while filming the show he held the crack pipe for the first time in years, but said that a guardian angel was looking after him.

Adam Goldstein Picture

DJ AM was found dead in his apartment Friday night of an apparent drug overdose. A law enforcement source said a bag of crack was found by his body.

No one knows for sure, but he was said to be upset over a recent breakup with girlfriend Hayley Wood. He was last heard from around 1 a.m. Friday.

Goldstein, who often talked openly and honestly about his myriad past struggles with drug abuse, claimed he was off drugs for more than 11 years.

On Saturday, the New York City Medical Examiner's office announced that after an initial autopsy proved "inconclusive," more tests, including a toxicology report that might require weeks to conduct, would be performed.

Here's a video of DJ AM's interview with MTV ...

Amber Rose Bikini Pics: Yikes!

Monday, August 31st, 2009


It looks like Las Vegas is losing its luster.

The former hot spot for celebrities and entertainment has been reduced hiring the likes of Jon Gosselin and Ambert Rose as pool party hosts.

The father of eight and bagger of anyone with breasts chilled in a private cabana at the MGM Grand over the weekend; while Rose led the Tao beach party at The Venetian Hotel and Casino Resort.

Kanye West eventually flew in to hang with Amber and bring some legitimacy to the event. We hope he wasn't worried about losing her to someone else.

Trust us, Kanye, the ugly, self-absorbed, often-naked, orgy-hating Rose is all yours.

Jenna Bush Joins the Today Show

Monday, August 31st, 2009


NBC's Today show has hired Jenna Bush Hager as a new correspondent.

The 27-year-old teacher and daughter of George W. Bush will contribute once a month with stories on issues like education to TV top-rated morning news show.

Jenna Bush said she has always wanted to be a teacher and a writer, and has already authored two books. But she was intrigued by the idea of getting into TV.

"It wasn't something I'd always dreamed to do," she said. "But one of the most important things in life is to be open-minded and to be open-minded for change."

Jenna will essentially work two part-time jobs as a correspondent for Today and in her school, where she will be a reading coordinator this year.

Jenna Hager Picture

She was on the morning news program two years ago to promote her book about an HIV-infected single mother, Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, and it went so well that Hager's short interview was stretched to nearly a half hour.

She and her mother, Laura Bush, also co-hosted an hour of Today about the time their picture book came out. She "just sort of popped to us as a natural presence, comfortable" on the air, said executive producer Jim Bell.

"I think she can handle it," he said. "I think she knows something about pressure and being under scrutiny. When she came here, she knocked it out of the park."

Jenna, who married Henry Hager last year, will work out of NBC's Washington bureau.

"I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them urban education, women and children's issues and literacy," she said.

While not as exciting as Melissa Rycroft joining the staff of Good Morning America, we're happy for Jenna and her newest career endeavor.

Megan Fox Hearts Jewish Men, Vagina Power

Monday, August 31st, 2009


Love Megan Fox, hate Megan Fox or think Megan Fox just says things for attention, everyone must admit:

The ridiculously sexy actress is certainly entertaining.

For example, as the latest Cosmopolitan cover girl, Fox gives the publication an interview in which she provides hope for Jewish men and power to women around the world. Here are a few excerpts:

On monogamy: "I have no problem with commitment–you can’t have a real relationship without it. I can flip on a switch in my brain, and even if the next Brad Pitt is standing next to me, I won’t look at him. but I can also turn that switch off, and then I collect attractive boys."

On her ideal date: “A sexy sandwich with Andy Samberg and Jonah Hill…”

On relationships: "Women hold the power because we have the vaginas. If you’re in a heterosexual relationship and you’re a female, you win."

Covering Cosmo

On the guys she's been naked for: "I never call them guys. I always called them boys. Maybe it’s a superiority complex - my needing to keep them down.”

On playing games with men: “It’s fun when someone intends to put you in his back pocket, but instead, he walks away wounded. I make it a mind game so they don’t know if I’m hitting on them or mocking them. Male actors drop lines about their private jets, trying to seem powerful, but I don’t give a s—. I don’t need someone else’s power. I’m obtaining my own.”

Tyra Banks: Engaged to John Utendahl?

Monday, August 31st, 2009


Tyra Banks' longtime boyfriend, businessman John Utendahl, reportedly exists, and reportedly is very rich. Neither of which are all that shocking, really.

But when they went out to lunch on Saturday at the Little Next Door in Los Angeles, Banks was supposedly seen sporting a rock on her left ring finger!

Of course, Britney Spears wears engagement rings for fun without actually being engaged to Jason Trawick, so there's no telling what celebrities will do.

Still, is Tyra Banks engaged to John Utendahl? We can only hope for the future Gossip Girl guest star's sake that he's nicer to her than Brady Green.

This is Tyra Banks' boyfriend, John Utendahl. Tyra Banks is kind of annoying, so we have no idea how he does such a good job tolerating her on a regular basis.

Jon Gosselin: The Hottest Thing in Vegas

Monday, August 31st, 2009


The temperature exceeded 100 degrees ... in the shade.

But Jon Gosselin was still the hottest thing in Las Vegas.

The father of eight hosted a much-hyped Vegas pool party Saturday, with four friends and even his mother in tow. Soon enough, he was surrounded by women.

Moments after walking into his private cabana at MGM Grand's Wet Republic, several girls from the adjacent VIP area approached the celebrity gossip staple.

Jon seemed very much at ease, as he always does with gaggles of girls who for some reason throw themselves at him, ordering champagne, water and food.

The former Mr. Kate Gosselin said, "It looks like we'll have a good time" – as 2,000 people danced and boozed to the sounds of rock, hip hop and house music.

Jon Gosselin in Las Vegas

The King of Pimps holds court over the Land of Mediocre Girls.

Not everyone was happy to see him, though. As he walked on the red carpet at the casino, one bikini-clad woman stood on a railing and shouted, "Team Kate."

Not a particularly creative diss, but effective.

Sporting shorts and a button-up collared shirt at the pool, Jon was spotted collecting a few phone numbers and mixing drinks for the scantily dressed women.

Hailey Glassman may not want to read this.

After his pool time, Jon Gosselin was seen dining at Craftsteak with his mother and friends, and later checking out Cirque du Soleil's Ká. Solid night in Vegas.

Gosselin is in town for the MAGIC fashion convention, which begins Monday. As for the clothing line he and Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier are supposedly collaborating on, "Everything is still in the works," Jon said.

Fans On The Hunt For Robert Pattinson’s Hiding Place…

He’s been trying to a keep a much lower profile while filming the third instalment of the Twilight saga, but last night Robert Pattinson and his fellow cast members decided to have a rare public outing in Vancouver.

We spotted the group as they made their way to Boneta restaurant for a meal while on a break from filming.

And it’s no wonder Robert is so keen to stay out of the public eye; apparently Twilight fanatics are constantly on the hunt for where the actors are shooting Eclipse as they’re desperate to sink their teeth into the British born heartthrob.

We’ve seen just how fanatical Robert’s admirers are – so we’re sure their film set location won’t stay a secret for long…

Just a few hours ago, Peter Andre left his home in Brighton with Harvey and his two children Junior and Princess for a family day out.

And in an interview with the New of The World newspaper today, the smiley looking singer has also revealed that he’s ready to find love again as he struggles to cope with the continuing scandal around his estranged wife’s new boyfriend Alex Reid.

Speaking about the “porn video” in which Alex allegedly stars, Pete commented:

"I can't believe he is making films like that. What kind of role model is he for my children?'"

And in order to get over Katie, Pete says he’s trying to ignore everything that’s written about her:

"I have even taken off all my Google alerts and everything so I don't hear about her. She is a grown person and I can't control her. I have no feelings about what she's up to."

But what about love, eh?

"Am I ready to find love again? I don't have anyone yet, and it's been too hard to think about moving on until now, but I am getting there.”

Khloe Kardashian Konfirms: Kopious Kourtney Kardashian Pregnancy Koverage to Kome!

Monday, August 31st, 2009


Phew. That was klose.

For a few moments, we were afraid we'd never heard about Kourtney Kardashian and her pregnancy ever again.

How would we face each day without knowing whether or not the reality TV star has chosen to discover the gender of her baby? It's too unsettling a possibility to even konsider.

Fortunately, Khloe Kardashian told TV Guide that her sister's expecting state just happens to koincide perfectly with the upcoming season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The writers have made it a "a major part" of new episodes.

"It's going to be everything Kourtney is going through up until the birth," Khloe said. "It's more of a family situation anyway, so I think it's perfect timing."

It really is. It's almost as though Kourtney pulled her goalie on purpose in order to give the show fresh storylines.

Khloe and Kourtney

Meanwhile, tonight's episode of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami features a speed dating session Khloe sets up for her sister.

The reason?

"At first, I was trying to fight a lot more [to get Kourtney to date], but then I realized she was just so miserable without [Scott Disick]," Khloe said, referring to the man that has implanted his seed in her sister.

When did Khloe kome to this realization? When she turned the pages of the script for the next episode.

Rihanna: Kind of Terrifying in Vogue

Monday, August 31st, 2009


Some people in fashion say that the ’80s are back. So are the ’60s, ’70s and ’90s, and soon enough the '00s, according to other "experts," but no matter.

The new cover of Italian Vogue, featuring Rihanna splashing water from a bucket, or something, and looking hella fierce, channels ’80s icon Grace Jones.

We mean fierce in the literal sense.

In the shoot, by Steven Klein, Rihanna looks like she's on steroids with the outfit and angular makeup she's wearing. Or maybe it's just that bad ass glare ...

Rihanna Vogue Cover

EXTREME RIHANNA: We don't know what the hell kind of couture this is, but Rihanna definitely shows off her slightly insane, bad ass side on the cover of Vogue.

Perhaps this is simply a strategy to make sure Chris Brown abides by the terms of his probation and keeps his distance. Scare the living crap out of the guy.

Ever wondered what Miley Cyrus tastes like?

Well, if you’re ever in Hollywood then why not pop into Millions of Milk Shake and find out, because on Friday morning the young singer was at that very establishment whipping up a delicate blend of her favourite flavours to create a milkshake named after herself.

You may recall that Lindsay Lohan was at the same establishment last month doing the exact same thing. Just think, if you were at Millions of Milk Shake right now you could basically have Miley and Lindsay on tap.

Yes, that’s right – we resorted to cheap innuendo because we couldn’t think of anything else to write. Was that so wrong of us? *hangs head in shame*.

Travis Barker Twitters Props, Grief For DJ AM

Monday, August 31st, 2009


After forming a lasting, near-tragic bond over their improbably survival of a plane crash that claimed the lives of four people last September, Blink 182's Travis Barker can't believe his close friend DJ AM is gone just one year later.

While he is normally known for his bitter online rants about his former wife Shanna Moakler, Barker's most recent Tweets were heartfelt and sad ...

"Don't know how i am gonna play 2night but i am for AM. My brother is gone.i love u and miss u, i'll never forget all the good times we had."

"I'll never forget everything we've been thru and every time i play the drums i'll think of you," Barker's Twitter tribute continued. "U were an amazing friend/DJ/human being. Rest In Peace my brother, this really f--ks me up."

DJ AM, Travis Barker

Travis Barker and DJ AM prior to the South Carolina plane crash that they both narrowly survived almost a year ago - and which bonded the pair ever since.

The famed drummer has reunited with his longtime band Blink 182 and is on tour with the group, which took the stage in Hartford, Conn., last night.

Blink 182 paid tribute to DJ AM during an encore at their Saturday concert, Rolling Stone reports. When Barker would normally perform a drum solo, the band held an onstage vigil while all of the lights in the arena were turned off.

AM, real name Adam Goldstein, 36, was found dead Friday afternoon. The cause of his death is not yet known, but some say his recent breakup with Hayley Wood may have caused the addict-turned-straight-arrow DJ to relapse.

In one raunchy snap taken for the publication by famous photographer Mario Testino, GaGa is seen covering her modesty with a healthy dollop of delicately placed pink fluff – which is a shame really as we were hoping she’d finally put an end to all those hermaphrodite rumours by revealing all.

LiLo Loses £1.2million Worth Of Jewellery…

[Images: Mr Paparazzi/Big Pictures Words: Staff Writer]

Lindsay Lohan was up bright and early yesterday morning for a shopping trip to Revolver in West Hollywood – where we caught up with her trying on a multitude of different outfits.

The actress seemed to be in a blasé mood despite the fact that a Beverly Hills jewellery store are reportedly threatening her with legal action after she allegedly “lost” £1.2million worth of borrowed jewels.

Apparently the 23-year-old was loaned the bling by swanky Beverly Hills store XIV Karats more than two months ago. But when the shop recently asked her to hand back the goodies, the Mean Girls star claimed they’d been stolen.

Lindsay's home was burgled last weekend, and the thieves are said to have made off with many of the actress’ expensive possessions. A source said:

"Lindsay claimed they had been stolen. They disappeared. XIV are not happy about it.”

"The jewels were in Lindsay's care and they were only on loan. If something is not resolved soon there will be legal action taken."

It’s not the first time Lindsay has been in hot water over lost jewels; earlier this year £250,000 worth of Christian Dior gems vanished from a photoshoot in London which LiLo was starring in.

Friends Claim Kerry Katona Refuses To Give Up Drugs…

Despite all the drama of the last few weeks, Kerry Katona was trying to give her daughter Molly a taste of normality over the weekend by throwing her big birthday bash.

Yesterday the former Iceland star invited Molly’s pals to her Cheshire home where, in the garden, they played on a bouncy castle and sang karaoke tunes.

But behind closed doors Kerry is reportedly refusing to give up drugs despite the caution she received from police last week after a video emerged of her allegedly snorting cocaine.

Friends of the disgraced reality star claim that Kerry has been sobbing, saying: "I just can't give it up." One source revealed:

"Kerry's life is in turmoil. Despite everything that's happened she still wants to get her hands on drugs."

Surprisingly though Mark Croft has allegedly been trying very hard to support his wife in her battle against addiction; apparently he’s even banned her from using her mobile phone so she can't ring dealers up. The source went on:

“He (Mark) has even told dealers not to help her. She wanted amphetamine (speed) or cocaine this week but he told people not to supply to her. He wants her to come off drugs for good, clean up her life and her image."

A thoughtful and caring Mark Croft?! We’ll believe it when we see it.

Mischa Barton Blames Her Breakdown On Her Wisdom Teeth….

Mischa Barton has been speaking about her recent stay in a psychiatric unit, and funnily enough she reckons her alleged breakdown was due to the pain she suffered as a result of an operation to remove her wisdom teeth.

The former OC star – who we spotted filming her new TV show The Beautiful Life in NY on Friday - was removed from her home last month by officers after she rang the police with “medical issues”.

Apparently the actress was then placed under involuntary psychiatric hold following a suspected overdose, but was released within a few days and allowed back to work.

But now the 24-year-old says that the breakdown was due to a horrific wisdom tooth operation which she had to go through without medication:

"I had to get through it without proper painkillers because I couldn't take those during work. So it's been a nightmare."

Mischa also admits that she "got completely stressed out" prior to her stay in the hospital:

"I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom about things and have to get the most stressed out just to feel better again.

"I got completely stressed out and couldn't handle everything, and now I feel really in control."

Uh-ha, yeah, wisdom teeth, that sounds plausible…

Katie Price Pays Homage To Jordan….

Wearing a “Jordan” necklace, Katie Price headed into Brighton yesterday for a little shopping trip. But despite the fact that she was only making a quick journey into town, Katie decided to really dress up for the occasion – well sort of anyway.

In a Jordan style outfit the former glamour model wore a bright pink top, paired with a short pink denim skirt – and to top it all off, a pair of fluffy pink heels. It was an eye-catching combination to say the least.

Meanwhile, as her divorce battle continues to rage it looks as though her estranged husband, Peter Andre, has managed to beat Katie in the reality TV department.

Viewing figures reveal that Pete’s one-off reality show Going It Alone attracted a larger audience on it’s opening night than Katie’s reality programme did when it aired on Thursday evening

But it was a narrow victory; What Katie Did Next pulled in 1.28m people whilst Going It Alone attracted an audience of 1.72m.

Cheryl Cole may have been moved to tears by 40-year-old Daryl Markham’s sad story, but in our opinion there was only one performance which really shone on last night’s X Factor.

We loved Rozelle Phillip’s rendition of Jennifer Hudson’s One Night Only so much that we actually got goose bumps! Whilst other performances on the show were good (Jamie Archer and Miss Fitz), we’ve got a feeling that Rozelle has potential to make it do the final – do you agree? And what did you think of all the other act’s on last night’s show?

Oh, and while we’re on the subject of X Factor – are you starting to get accustomed to the new “live audience” formula yet? Because we’re certainly not…

As you’ve probably already heard: Oasis are over. After 18-years together, Noel Gallagher walked out on the band on Friday after he had a massive row with his brother Liam.

But now in a message to the band’s fans Noel has claimed that he decided to quit because of constant "verbal and violent intimidation".

On the band's website on Saturday Noel wrote:

"The level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable."

Although Noel offers no details about what the intimidation was, or who was responsible for said “violent” intimidation, we think we all know who he’s referring to, don’t we?! *coughs-Liam-Gallagher-coughs*.

DJ AM (real name Adam Goldstein), who once famously dated Nicole Richie, was found dead in his apartment yesterday after a reported overdose.

According to police sources the DJ was found dead “face down” in his NY home surrounded by a crack pipe and prescription pills.

Sources say that Adam had been devastated over a break-up with girlfriend Hayley Wood shortly before his death. Apparently she called off their relationship within the last week.

The tragedy comes just a year after Adam miraculously survived a plane crash last year that killed four people and seriously injured Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker.

Celebrities have reacted with shock about the DJ’s death. On Twitter yesterday, Lindsay Lohan wrote

"I can't believe this.. i'm in shock. why? why? r.i.p. adam."

Meanwhile Kelly Osbourne told her followers:

"I just cant believe that adam (dj.am) is gone i dont want to believe it im in shock. he was one of the most genuine people i have ever met!"

"They were making out in one of the booths and seemed totally into one another. They were having a great time and definitely appear to be back on. They didn't care who saw them."
