Charlie's Got That Newlywed Sheen

Today 11:12 AM PDT

Perhaps the third time will be the charm for Charlie Sheen.

E! News confirms that the Two and a Half Men star swapped vows with live-in love Brooke Mueller Friday in front of about 60 people at a private estate in the gated Los Angeles community of Beverly Park.

All dolled up for the occasion were Sheen's two daughters with ex-wife Denise Richards, Sam, 4, and Lola, who will be 3 next month.

The actor's ever-supportive dad, Martin Sheen, and mom Janet were also in attendance, along with pals Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart.

Mueller, 30, donned a simple ivory gown for the occasion—a nod to what a source tells us was Sheen's wish for a low-key affair, which also included instructions to the gents to leave their ties at home.

However, providing plenty of glam all by itself was the custom-made $500,000, 11-carat ring that the real-estate investor has been sporting since Sheen popped the question during a trip to Costa Rica last July.

"It is a canary-yellow, flawless diamond," the man responsible for the finger candy, jeweler Lord Alon Barak, told E! "Charlie really went above and beyond."

This was the third trip down the aisle for Sheen, 42, and the first for Mueller.

But just because the nuptials were on the casual side didn't mean the bride wasn't primed to look her best, making a last-minute stop Thursday at dermatologist-to-the-stars Dr. Harold Lancer, presumably to make sure her complexion would be picture-perfect for the big day.

"She was so excited. She told everyone in the waiting room that she was getting married,” an eyewitness told E! News. “She said, ‘I’m so excited, I’m getting married tomorrow!’

"She looked beautiful and was glowing; she was so happy.”

Mueller met Sheen about two years ago at a Victoria's Secret party hosted by Gayheart, who in turn was spotted Sunday at her gal-pal's bridal shower at the Warehouse Restaurant in Marina del Rey.

While Mueller's friends plied her with goodies, wedding guests were asked to give donations to Chrysalis, a charity that aids victims of domestic abuse, in lieu of presents.

The newlyweds are expected to attend the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball tomorrow night in Beverly Hills, meaning a good cause is trumping the honeymoon, at least for this weekend.

Brangelina Buns Still in the Oven

Today 10:35 AM PDT

Despite rampant reports to the contrary, the Jolie-Pitt offspring count is at four, and holding.

Angelina Jolie's manager, Geyer Kosinski, told E! News that stories of the actress and Brad Pitt welcoming twin daughters this week are "not true," meaning the most-watched baby bump in the world has yet to pop.

Pitt manager Cynthia Pett-Dante also was in full denial mode, labeling the birth reports premature. "It is a rumor," she said.

Similarly, a source close to the family in France told E! News that Jolie was still at her Provence home sans newborns as of Friday morning.

The stork non-delivery puts the kibosh on voraciously circulating and rather detailed reports, led by Entertainment Tonight, that Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane arrived via C-section at a Catholic clinic in Aix-en-Provence.

By Friday evening, ET had removed the story from its website.

While Jolie has previously claimed that she wants to give birth in her late mother's home country, she has yet to confirm the genders of her pending progeny, let alone whether they will in fact be named in honor of their grandparents (Jolie's late mother is Marcheline; Pitt's is Jane).

Regardless, whenever the genetically blessed babes make their debut, they will mark kids No. 5 and 6 for the Jolie-Pitt brood, joining Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, who turned 2 just this week.

Jolie left it up to Kung Fu Panda costars Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman to serve as advance men for the baby news while promoting the cartoon at Cannes earlier this month. Black confirmed that Jolie and Pitt were expecting twins, while Hoffman may prove himself as potentially reliable as Deep Throat, claiming the babies weren't due until Aug. 19.

Last weekend, word broke that that the 32-year-old Oscar winner and Pitt, 44, were moving into the 1,000-acre, $60 million Chateua Mirval, complete with 35 bedrooms, a vineyard and a moat, just outside Aix-en-Provence. The family relocated to France back in April in anticipation of the baby-delivering.

All week long, delivery trucks have been pulling up to estate, bringing furniture and toys for the kids, including a delivery of ATVs for Pax and Maddox.

In other words, the babies may not have arrived, but the nesting is in full effect.

Winehouse Late, Again

Today 9:25 AM PDT

It's nice to know some things never change.

British trainwreck Amy Winehouse was an hour late to her first post-rehab concert Friday night. The Grammy-winning soul chanteuse performed a 55-minute set at the sold-out Rock in Rio music festival in Lisbon, Portugal. Lenny Kravitz was the headliner.

Winehouse's voice cracked throughout her performance and, at one point, she ran offstage. She had visible cuts on her left arm, a bandage on her right hand and apologized to the crowd for her sore throat.

The trouble-prone diva is famous for her tardiness, show cancellations, offstage antics and rehab stints. Just last week, her father accepted a prestigious British award on her behalf because the 24-year-old was late to the ceremony.

In Amy's defense, they don't teach punctuality in rehab.

Ronson Hits Rewind on Perez Lawsuit

Today 8:45 AM PDT

But what she really wants to do is sue!

Six months after the case was thrown out of court, Lindsay Lohan's attached-at-the-hip BFF Samantha Ronson wants to reinstate her defamation lawsuit against gossip blogger Perez Hilton.

The celebrity DJ claims that her former lawyer (whom she's also suing) mishandled the case, which was originally filed in July 2007. Ronson is suing Hilton (aka Mario Lavandeira) for writing that she owned the cocaine found in LiLo's car after a May 2007 crash.

Ronson will make her appeal on Wednesday to Judge Elihu M. Berle, the same judge who threw out the case back in November 2007.

Lost's Perrineau Uncovers Child No. 2

Fri., May. 30, 2008 4:37 PM PDT

Harold Perrineau has another girl in his life.

The Lost star and wife Brittany Robinson welcomed their second daughter, Wynter Aria, May 7 in Los Angeles, E! News confirmed Friday.

Wynter joins sister Aurora Robinson in the Perrineau household.

"Mom and baby are doing fine, along with dad and big sister," a rep for the couple said in a statement.

A source says that Wynter arrived earlier than expected and Perrineau, who was in Hawaii filming the reliably mystifying fourth-season finale of Lost, which aired last night, had to hightail it back to L.A. to make it in time for the birth.

"He did run back to be with her because she went into labor early,” the source said. "There was a rush from filming the season finale and getting him out on time. There was a really big push to get him out on time. He had to leave days earlier than originally expected. The Lost team was phenomenal and really worked to make that happen."

The couple tied the knot in 2002, before Perrineau landed the role of rueful dad Michael Dawson.

Why Tom Cruise's Way-Late Valkyrie Is Like a Rave

Fri., May. 30, 2008 4:27 PM PDT

For those who can't wait to see Tom Cruise go all Nazi in the forthcoming, thrice-pushed back Hitler-killer thriller Valkyrie, don't knock on Terence Stamp's door.

"I don't know anything," confessed Cruise's costar, about why the Bryan Singer-directed WWII flick has been so steeped in delay-laden turmoil.

While promoting his much-lighter Get Smart with Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway in Los Angeles today, Stamp likened the Valkyrie process to a huge party with hippie kids, ecstasy and trance music. But in a good way.

"It's like a rave," Stamp said of the shifting feature. "You don't get the address until the last minute." That address is currently February 13, 2009, so, like see you there? We'll pay double to see Cruise wave around some glow sticks, wearing a Cat-in-the-Hat hat and toting one of Suri's pacifiers.

Sex and the Swag Suites

Fri., May. 30, 2008 4:25 PM PDT

Joel Madden is one good boyfriend. At Kari Feinstein's Style Lounge (part of the star-studded hoopla surrounding the MTV Movie Awards this weekend), he dished that although he's more into movies like Ironman and The Chronicles of Narnia, he'd see Sex and the City with Nicole Richie.

"Of course I'll go with her!" he said after his DJ set. "She goes with me to all of my movies, so no problem. We do 50/50; I pick one and then she picks one."

So where was the missus? Keep reading to find out!

Seems like Nic was home watching Harlow, but Joel made sure to pick up the following goodies for her: Crumbs cupcakes, bikinis from 1690 Swimwear and a Lelo "pleasure object". Benji also grabbed one for gf Paris Hilton as well. Looks like they'll be having a good weekend.

Meanwhile, over at the Simply Stylist suite, Jeremy Piven accidentally walked out with someone else's swag. The Entourage star was leaving Chateau Marmont in his Range Rover when word went out that some of Shark star Sarah Carter's loot was missing. An organizer ended up finding it in the Pivs' backseat!

Jeremy was totally apologetic and joked that he really wanted women's stuff. But earlier, he actually got dresses from MM Couture and Bordeaux for a "lady friend," whose identity he wouldn't divulge.

The Rock's Divorce Solidifies

Fri., May. 30, 2008 4:15 PM PDT

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has left no stone unturned.

The actor's divorce from his wife of 11 years was finalized May 19, and Dany Johnson has reclaimed her maiden name of Garcia, according to a detailed settlement agreement filed in Miami-Dade County and obtained by E! News.

The ex-spouses, who announced their separation last June, have one child together, 7-year-old Simone Alexandra Garcia Johnson.

Per the terms of a settlement dated April 29, the duo will amicably share physical and legal custody. Johnson will fork over $22,454 per month in child support and each parent will make monthly contributions of $5,000 apiece to a trust account for Simone's private-school tuition, health care and, eventually, her college expenses.

Furthermore, Johnson and Garcia have both waived their rights to any alimony and have agreed to trust each other when spur-of-the-moment decisions need to be made regarding their child, to allow her as much phone time as she wants with either parent and to recognize each other's right to play as large as role as possible in the girl's upbringing.

"Each of the parties shall exercise, in the utmost of good faith, his and her best efforts at all times to encourage and foster the maximum relations of love and affection between the minor child and her mother and father," court documents state.

The agreement, which obviously could teach most Hollywood types a thing or two, also includes a very detailed breakdown of the parents' custodial obligations on birthdays and holidays, including Father's Day and Mother's Day.

D.A. Passes on Dennis Farina's Gun Bust

Fri., May. 30, 2008 3:57 PM PDT

Dennis Farina has managed to avoid a repeat of Big Trouble.

The actor will not face felony charges for attempting to board a flight at LAX earlier this month with an unregistered .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol in his luggage, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

Instead, Farina's case has been referred as a possible misdemeanor to the L.A. City Attorney's Office, where the matter is currently under review.

While he was originally booked for a lower-grade offense following his May 11 arrest, authorities bumped the charge up to felony possession of a loaded firearm after learning not only did the former Law & Order detective not have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, but that it was also unregistered.

Farina, 64, spent the majority of the afternoon at Van Nuys Jail before being released on $35,000 bail.

Police said he was very cooperative and apologetic while in custody. Upon his release, Farina issued a statement to "apologize to anyone and everyone that I have caused any embarrassment or inconvenience to.

"It is my own stupidity to find myself in this embarrassing situation," the What Happens in Vegas star said. "I'll be spending the next few days kicking my own ass. No one is more embarrassed than myself."

Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen: Married!

Posted on May 31st, 2008 10:34 am

Overcoming numerous obstacles in their relationship - such as a rumored porn addiction for one half of the couple and the constant premise of awful human being Denise Richards throughout - Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen walked down the aisle together yesterday.

The pair got married at a private estate in Los Angeles, as a source on the scene said “they’re well matched and incredibly happy.”

Mueller and Sheen exchanged vows in front of about 60 close friends and family. Among those in attendance were Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane and wife Rebecca Gayheart, who first introduced the couple in 2006.

“Brooke really wanted to walk down the aisle in a big way, but Charlie insisted they keep it simple and small,” an insider told People.

Jo Frost Wants to Help Britney Spears

Posted on May 30th, 2008 11:05 am

Previously, we watched in horror as Dr. Phil tried to make even more of a name for himself off Britney Spears.

Now, Supernanny Jo Frost is following in Phil’s disgraceful footsteps.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Frost offered her childrearing expertise to mother of Sean Preston and Jayden James.

“I do believe she loves her children very much and I’d be more than happy to help her,” Frost said, trying as hard as she could to sound legitimately concerned.

“Importance in motherhood is about really relating to other mothers, being able to have support groups and it’s about Britney being in a place where she’s feeling secure and confident in herself, so that she is able to take care of her little ones and give them what they need from her, which is their mother around.”

Truer words have never been spoken by someone trying to exploit a celebrity with a bipolar disorder.

Happy Birthday, Devendra Banhart!

Posted on May 30th, 2008 8:51 am

No offense, Devendra Banhart, but if your birthday took place last month, our staff probably wouldn’t have acknowledged it.

This random singer has only earned status as a celebrity gossip subject to due his relationship with Natalie Portman. But that’s okay. Would anyone know who Ray J was if he didn’t videotape himself giving it to Kim Kardashian?

So here’s to Devendra Banhart! The Cisco Adler-lookalike turns 27 today. And he’s likely receiving the best gift of all tonight: Natalie Portman nude. Enjoy, sir.

If a guy that looks like Devendra Banhart can land a gal that looks like Natalie Portman, every male out there has a chance!

Ray J Responds to Drug Charges

Posted on May 30th, 2008 6:37 am

Ray J is many things to many people.

A sex tape partner to Kim Kardashian. A condom promoter to Trojan. A staff favorite at The Hollywood Gossip.

But, in the following statement issues to celebrity gossip outlet TMZ, Ray J responded to his alleged drug drama at a hotel in D.C. last weekend and insists he is not a hardcore user.

“The defamatory statements made by the staff at the Washington D.C. Hyatt accusing me of using the drug ‘boat’ or PCP are totally false and are an attempt by them to gain publicity for their hotel,” he said. “These drugs are illegal and since the police were called, I would have been arrested if I had these drugs in my possession. The statements made by the hotel staff are extremely damaging, and I’m contemplating legal action.”

The police were called to the Hyatt Regency last Friday after hotel staff asked a belligerent Ray J to leave the premises after he was allegedly found with a stash of the club drug “boat” and marijuana.

If he’s wrongly accused, Ray J should definitely fight the man. But just how damaged can your reputation get from this, dude? You’re best known for videotaping Kim Kardashian nude. No offense. We still love you.

Celebrity Quotes of the Week: From Bill Clinton to Ne-Yo

Posted on May 30th, 2008 6:22 am

We were entertained by the musings of the usual suspects this week, such as Spencer Pratt, along with the thoughts of celebrities we had never heard of before, such as Ashley Harkleroad.

We’re sure this isn’t the last time Spencer will be featured in our weekly review, while we’re also sure we’ll be hearing - and most definitely seeing - more from Harkleroad, as well. Check out the following sample of celebrity quotes now and visit our section of them for many more…

Spencer Pratt: Heidi read me biblical passages like ‘Honor thy wife.’

---

Ne-Yo: I’ve written for Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Celine Dion and … Lindsay Lohan? But I will say this. We gave her a quality record and she did a ridiculously fabulous job. I was so shocked I had to call her and apologize for what I was thinking because she did so good. I think the world is gonna be surprised.”

---

David Cook [to Kimberly Caldwell]: I’m just excited because I finally get to talk to you. I’ve been hearing you say all these nice things about me all season, So I’m actually going to ask you to dinner right now.

---

Ashley Harkleroad [on posing for Playboy]: There’s a few reasons why I did it, but I can’t really go into it right now. But like I said, I really didn’t think it was that big of a deal. I’m proud of my body. I stay in shape and try to stay fit.

---

Bill Clinton: She will win the general election if you nominate her. They’re just trying to make sure you don’t.

9021-NOOOOO: Tori Spelling Returns to Beverly Hills

Posted on May 30th, 2008 6:15 am

As if appearing on a reality show - about running a ridiculous inn with husband Dean McDermott - wasn’t a low enough point in the career of Tori Spelling, the awful actress has now essentially admitted:

I can’t find work.

Therefore, she’s managed to beg and plead her way back on to the only series that ever hired her: yes, Spelling will be reprising her role as Donna Martin on The CW’s remake of Beverly Hills, 90210.

So, gag us with a spoon for even asking, but what will Donna be doing in the exclusive zip code?

“Donna loved designing and wanted a career in fashion. It’ll be fun to explore that storyline,” Spelling said about the reprisal. “And, I’m sure fans will be dying to know if she’s still married to David!”

Considering the fact that his portrayer, Brian Austin Green, is too busy having sex with Megan Fox to bother reappearing on the series, we’re guessing the answer is no.

John Mayer Shirtless!!!

Posted on May 30th, 2008 7:20 am

Here’s a photo of John Mayer shirtless, and it causes us to ask:

What’s the big deal?!?

Is this image really so sexy, so seductive, so irresistible that it would enable the singer to bed Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly, Cameron Diaz and, most recently, Jennifer Aniston?

If you’re a female - or Perez Hilton - reading this, please write in and let us know the appeal of John Mayer. The guy scores more in a week than Bret Michaels does on an entire season of Rock of Love.

Is it his looks? Or just his cheesy lyrics?

And if it’s the latter, attention Megan Fox: your body is a wonderland.

There. Can we expect a call from the actress now?

Jenna Bush, Henry Hager Honeymoon in Hawaii

Posted on May 29th, 2008 1:58 pm

Finally, some happy news to show that not all marriages are crumbling like that of Bill and Jennifer Butler Murray. Take the Hagers, for example!

Anyone who’s planned a wedding knows what a great feeling it is to finally relax afterwards. Especially if you’re the First Daughter!

Jenna Bush (now Jenna Hager) and husband Henry Hager are honeymooning in Maui, where they were snapped Wednesday cuddling on the beach. Prior to their sun-filled PDA, the newlyweds stuck to a hectic schedule.

One week after their May 10 wedding at the Bush family ranch in Crawford, Texas, Jenna, 26, and Henry, 30, traveled to Virginia for another lavish ceremony: his graduation from Virginia’s Darden School of Business!

Later that week, Jenna headed to Los Angeles for a taping of the Ellen DeGeneres Show with her mother, First Lady Laura Bush.

Source: Sarah Larson is Amazing

Posted on May 29th, 2008 1:53 pm

Judging by what one of her friends says, Sarah Larson might be single - but she’s gonna be okay!

“She’s a beautiful, amazing, compassionate human being who was thrown overnight into the middle of the media monster and has done an amazing job at staying true to herself and her family and friends,” the source told People Magazine.

Larson, of course, had dated George Clooney from September 2007… until yesterday. We were devastated to hear about their break-up.

Newly single, Sarah Larson is now free to lick magazine off the sand again.

Clay Aiken and Jaymes Foster: Expecting!

Posted on May 29th, 2008 1:05 pm

Many people have long speculated that Clay Aiken may be gay.

Why? No idea. Well, he’s apparently not - he’s gotten someone pregnant… though her name is Jaymes. Our point? We have none. We’re just saying.

According to TMZ, Clay Aiken is going to be a daddy, having knocked up Jaymes Foster. No, we’re serious! Clay Aiken and Jaymes Foster are expecting!

Sources say that the baby mama is a record producer, who produced some of his albums and is Clay’s best friend. He lives with her when he’s in L.A.

She’s the sister of record excutive and (Brody Jenner’s stepfather) David Foster. Jaymes Foster in her late 40s, though her exact age is not known.

She divorced a few years back and has no kids. Clay Aiken is 29.

UPDATE: Apparently Jaymes Foster was artificially inseminated.

Clay is a gonna be more than just sperm to her, however - he will have an active role in raising her child. Aiken’s rep has not yet commented. Stay tuned.

Jennifer Murray Sues Bill Murray For Divorce

Posted on May 29th, 2008 12:34 pm

In Groundhog Day, Bill Murray relived the same day, over and over and over again. If he thought that day sucked, well, this one isn’t much better.

His wife, Jennifer Butler Murray, is suing him for divorce in South Carolina after 10 years of marriage. She is seeking to dissolve her union to due Bill Murray’s drug addiction, physical abuse, adultery and abandonment.

Jennifer Murray also requested a restraining order against him.

A lawyer for Bill Murray says the actor is deeply saddened by the breakup and is committed to the best interests of the couple’s four children.

According to Jennifer Murray, Bill’s alcohol, marijuana and sex addictions were among the reasons she felt forced to move to a new home in 2006 with their four young children. The filing adds that Bill Murray once “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’”

A prenuptial agreement states that Bill would pay Jennifer Butler Murray $7 million in the event of a divorce, but she has asked a South Carolina court to determine whether the agreement is still valid.

Sienna Miller Totally Loves Rhys Ifans

Posted on May 29th, 2008 11:24 am

You may question the sanity of Sienna Miller - in fact, you pretty much have to - but don’t you dare question her love for Rhys Ifans.

The British actress recently told her country’s Elle magazine that it takes very little for her to gush about her man:

“When his name is mentioned, it makes me smile like a fool because I instantly think of him and it makes me happy. He does just make me happy. I totally love Rhys.”

Sorry, Jude Law. But it appears as though Miller has finally moved on. We hope the various women you take home every night are keeping you comfort at least.

Miller, meanwhile, is next starring in a remake of the classic cartoon G.I. Joe. There’s no truth to the rumor that producers thought of renaming it G.I. Ho in her honor. Zing!

Celebrity Diets That Work!

Posted on May 29th, 2008 9:45 am

Life isn’t always easy in Hollywood.

Due to excessive green room buffets and/or unborn children inside their wombs, many celebrities often pack on the pounds.

Through exercise, dieting and air brushing, however, many stars manage to lose the weight, throw on a bikini and get paid by entertainment news reporters for posing on a beach.

Below, we honor the beauties that make a point of looking good, so we can make a point of searching for them on the Internet.

For example, here’s a shot at Lauren Conrad. The Hills star says she was so self-conscious, before shedding six pounds, that she “wore a one-piece bathing suit the entire time” while on vacation in Mexico. The horror!

What other celebrities have gone from paunchy to pretty? Click on the pics below to see find out…

Britney Spears: Dating Jason Trawick?

Posted on May 29th, 2008 8:53 am

Rocking a flowy purple dress (on a day that was apparently chilly) Britney Spears visited her manager - and rumored boyfriend - Jason Trawick.

Whether their meetings are more about pleasure than business has left fans and media filled with curiosity, pondering the following questions:

• Are they dating or just working together?
• If so, is this destined to be a long-term relationship or just another in her long line of flings?
• What ever happened to Adnan?
• Who the heck is Jason Trawick?
  

Of the possible romance, a source close to the family said: “Jamie Spears thinks Jason would be a great match for Britney. She’s always had a thing for bad boys, but now she realizes good guys can be attractive, too.”

After her “business” meeting, which may have pertained to her career “comeback,” Britney Spears continued on with her uneventful but pleasant day, smiling ear to ear as she paid a visit to the local gym for a workout.

Marie-Anne Thiébaud Denies Affair with Mutt Lange

Posted on May 29th, 2008 8:52 am

Marie-Anne Thiébaud is going on the offensive.

The woman accused of having an affair with Mutt Lange - and, subsequently, breaking up his marriage to Shania Twain - is speaking publicly for the first time about the allegations that have made her more of a public enemy than Dina Lohan.

“You cannot believe everything you read in the press,” Thiébaud, ironically, said to the press.

When by People if she had an affair with Lange, Marie-Anne said: “No.”

Of course, that response contradicts several sources close to the situation. They say Thiébaud and Lange left their spouses for each other and continue to maintain a romantic relationship.

So we guess it all comes down to this: Can we believe Marie-Anne Thiébaud?

Celebrity Hair Affair: Penn Badgley

Posted on May 29th, 2008 8:47 am

Penn Badgley stars on Gossip Girl. As Dan Humphrey, this 21-year-old has rapidly established himself as one of TV’s hottest young hunks.

But he wasn’t always so handsome. Just a few years ago, Penn Badgley was, shall we say, more of an alternative, long-haired hippie type?

See the celebrity hair transformation below. Here’s the trendy boyfriend of Blake Lively earlier this year (left), and a few years prior …

Which hairstyle works better on Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley?

Media Whores Confirm Pregnancy at Last

Posted on May 29th, 2008 8:35 am

Newlyweds Ashlee Wentz and husband Pete Wentz have been expecting for some time now, but just confirmed publicly for the first time she’s pregnant.

“While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child,” they wrote on Pete Wentz’s official website.

“This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”

That’s it. Show’s over. We’ll have some celebrity gossip you haven’t heard 10 times before at some point, promise.

No Longer Looney: George Clooney, Sarah Larson Break Up

Posted on May 28th, 2008 3:34 pm

On a day when Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt announced their second fake engagement, another famous Hollywood couple has gone the opposite way.

We’re sad to report that George Clooney and Sarah Larson have broken up.

While it had seemed as though this model had finally captured the heart of the world’s most eligible bachelor, In Touch reports that the relationship wasn’t meant to be.

“George is relieved to be single again. He thinks Sarah is sweet and that is why it was so hard to break up with her. The truth is that they had little in common and he just doesn’t want to be tied down,” a source told the celebrity gossip tabloid.

It’s not too late, George. Don’t let Sarah Larson go! You two can still be Looney!

Vanessa Curry: The Alleged Kobe Bryant Mistress

Posted on May 28th, 2008 2:19 pm

Kobe Bryant stood tall last night as his Los Angeles Lakers took a 3-1 lead in the West Finals with a grueling road win at San Antonio.

Similarly, the website that claimed the NBA star had an affair with a Laker Girl named Vanessa Curry is refusing to back down under pressure.

Earlier this week, Bryant’s lawyer fired off a letter to TheDirty.com, demanding that the post about Kobe and Vanessa Curry be taken down.

TheDirty claimed Kobe had an affair with Curry, 18, who has resigned her position with the Laker Girls - the Lakers’ cheerleaders.

The site’s lawyers are firing back, claiming the story is in fact true, but even if it wasn’t, “because Mr. Bryant has previously publicly admitted to similar acts of infidelity… it seems unlikely that any jury would find ‘actual malice.’”

Those be fightin’ words!

Even better: The Dirty’s lawyers say the fact that Kobe Bryant’s lawyer went and sent a demand letter regarding the matter “only increases the likelihood that this story will receive more attention than it already has.”

The Dirty’s lawyer then makes reference to “The Streisand effect” - when Barbara made a stink over photos of her beach pad taken from a helicopter and it just made everyone aware of where she lived.

What do you think? Did Kobe Bryant have an affair with Vanessa Curry? If he didn’t, should this site be forced to take down the story?

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt: Engaged! Again!

Posted on May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm

After famously calling off her engagement to Spencer Pratt last year, Heidi Montag has revealed, for the first time, that she’s changed her mind.

That’s right.

The plastic surgery-loving, duck-lipped bimbo is having second thoughts about having second thoughts and plans on marrying slimy Spencer after all.

“I’m ready to marry Spencer,” the 21-year-old star said.

“He’s my soulmate.”

What changed with The Hills couple? Spencer convinced Heidi Montag to plan a wedding again during a secret make-or-break getaway to Mexico.

Guess it went well. Now Heidi and Spencer are ready to walk down the aisle again, after a year of great publicity and ratings for The Hills.

“Heidi read me biblical passages like ‘Honor thy wife,’” says Pratt.

More like ‘honor thy checkbook.’ Jackasses. Hopefully Spencer can afford more than that $300 fake-ass diamond ring he bought last time.

Ashlee Simpson Now Ashlee Wentz

Posted on May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm

Newly married Ashlee Simpson is changing her name to Ashlee Wentz in honor of her husband, Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz.

“I think that that’s something that a woman should do when they’re marrying a man,” she said. “It’s a tradition I think is a great tradition.”

The singer, who got married May 17, says privately she’ll go by Ashlee Wentz and “professionally,” she’ll be Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

“These decisions are all completely up to Ashlee,” Wentz said. “I want her to do these kinds of things the way she wants to do them.”

Still, he admits, he was flattered.

“Oh man, I was like upgrade me! You know what I’m saying? The Wentz family, our Christmas card just got upgraded! It feels insane. It feels unreal.”

No word on whether Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are planning to marry, or whether she will be known as Jessica Simpson-Romo after they do so.

Rachael Ray Involved in Keffiyeh Controversy

The following is a true story, not some Saturday Night Live skit drawn up to mock extreme conservatives:

Rachael Ray may be a sell out, but at least she isn’t a fear-mongering nut job such as Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin.

Due to pressure from Malkin - who makes Karl Rove seem like a benevolent liberal - Dunkin Donuts has canceled an ad in which the domestic diva wears a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men.

What, you didn’t know that a keffiyeh was a symbol for terrorism? As Malkin succinctly puts it, you must be a clueless moron.

“The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,” Malkin wrote in her syndicated column. “Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant and not-so-ignorant fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons.”

Note to Malkin: these types of scarves are available at Target. Get over yourself.

Not wanting to drum up controversy, Dunkin Donuts has pulled the ad, which featured the photo above. Its response to Malkin?

“In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial.”

Readers, if you care about the state of this nation, you’ll send in your thoughts to Michelle Malkin and let her know America, similarly, has no use for her.

Tony Romo to Joe Simpson: Back Off!

Posted on May 28th, 2008 10:27 am

Despite all the breakup talk, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are back together, but a college friend of the Dallas Cowboys quarterback says Romo’s insisting on calling the plays from now on.

“He did agree to go to [sister Ashlee's] wedding - keeping his promise to Jessica,” Romo’s Eastern Illinois alum pal told the Chicago Sun-Times.

“But he made it super-clear that if they were to give it another go, her dad, Joe, had to seriously back off.”

Joe Simpson, a former minister and current pimp, has long been seen as an overbearing presence, managing both his daughters’ careers.

While clearly successful at what he does - look at how much money he’s made off two airheads with no talent - Joe Simpson has earned a reputation as a guy who’s, um, extremely difficult to work with.

The Sun-Times says Tony Romo told Jessica Simpson that their renewed relationship is on a trial basis, so long as Joe “leaves them alone” and stops telling Romo how to run his life, career and endorsement deals.

Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson have been seen together in recent days, after the solo vacation Jessica took in Cabo San Lucas following the pregnant, talentless Ashlee Simpson’s marriage to Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz.

During the New York City premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie this week, star Sarah Jessica Parker commented on her favorite part about the project.

“The best part about making the movie was being back with the women on the set all day every day, and the best part about tonight is being here … with the fans,” she said, as a crowd of people squealed and waved around her.

Women are excited for the Sex and the City movie. Men are excited to see Kristin Davis nude.

Pitching Photo Finish: DeAnna Pappas vs. Mariah Carey

Posted on May 28th, 2008 9:35 am

A pair of Hollywood Gossip favorites recently showed off their fine form - on the pitcher’s mound! As baseball fans, we couldn’t resist this photo finish …

Newlywed Mariah Carey threw out the first pitch at a Japanese baseball game this week. No word on whether her throw made it to home plate, but at least she has a shiny jacket with her initials embroidered. That counts for something.

This week on The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas took to the hill against some of her aspiring boyfriends at Dodger Stadium. Most of the shlubs proved inept at home run derby, but DeAnna looked stellar. And we don’t mean her mechanics.

Former Employee Confirms Validity of R. Kelly Sex Tape

Posted on May 28th, 2008 9:09 am

A Toastee Toof sex tape landed this Q-list celebrity a new reality show.

Ditto for the Kim Kardashian sex tape.

But we can only hope confirmation of a R. Kelly sex tape will land this pedophilic singer in jail for a long time. Following the testimony of a recent employee yesterday, this appears closer than ever.

Lindsey Perryman, who worked as a personal assistant to R. Kelly and his family on and off for seven years, was among the latest witnesses to identify the musician and the alleged victim as the ones on the graphic 27-minute videotape.

“I didn’t want to think it was them,” Perryman said, adding that she never saw anything that might make her think the Grammy-winning singer might be involved in anything untoward, even after he was indicted in 2002.

“He treated the people that worked with him extremely well,” Perryman added. “There was never any reason to walk away and say I would call the police.”

Tell that to the minor R. Kelly is accused of having sex with and urinating on.

The singer is charged with 14 counts of child pornography for allegedly videotaping himself getting it on with an underage girl; hefaces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

After seeing the video for a second time, she is “110 percent” certain that it stars her former boss.

“The image I saw looked exactly like Mr. Kelly,” she said, adding she was “shocked” and “disturbed” by the tape.

Perryman added that she recognized the girl as the one in the video by her cheekbones, as well as by the “distinctive” way she moved her mouth, smiled and talked, she told jurors.

Prosecutors claim the tape was made between Jan. 1, 1998, and Nov. 1, 2000, and that the young female in the tape was born in September 1984. That’s sick, R. Kelly.

Chyler Leigh Sex Tape Update: Not Real

Posted on May 27th, 2008 3:13 pm

There’s no doubt that Toastee Toof has a sex tape. Crazy reality TV skanks will do anything for fame and money.

Grey’s Anatomy star Chyler Leigh? Not so much.

Rumors of a Chyler Leigh sex tape were floating around the Internet today, but thanks to TMZ, we can officially declare that celebrity gossip bogus.

Reps for the 26-year-old actress say she’s had a large tattoo on her back since age 19 - and the Chyler Leigh lookalike in the sexy nude pictures ain’t gone none.

The naked chick also has a tongue ring. The Grey’s Anatomy star? Nope.

Here’s a very sexy picture that will make you wish there were a Chyler Leigh sex tape out there.

It's sex tape Tuesday. The latest one circulating on the Internet allegedly stars Chyler Leigh from "Grey's Anatomy." But here's the deal: It's not her.

Reps for the 26-year-old actress tell us she's had a sprawling tattoo on her back since she was 19 -- ain't no tattoo on the lookalike in the raunchy video. The ringer also has a tongue ring and Chyler doesn't.

Chicken-Fighting Photo Finish: Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt vs. Mario Lopez & Karina Smirnoff

Posted on May 27th, 2008 1:54 pm

There’s nothing like a little fun in the pool.

Especially if you’re C-list celebrities with no jobs… or at least ones that offer a heck of a lot of time off in between seasons.

On the left, The Hills‘ Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag chicken-fight their way to $10,000 paydays from a certain celebrity photo agency.

On the right, Dancing with the Stars‘ Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez show they’re still an item, frolicking in Miami and apparently indicating that they’d welcome the challenge of taking Spencer and Heidi down. Hard.

Who would win a chicken-fight between Speidi and Marina?
