Is Brittney Jones the Next Kim Kardashian?

You absolutely won't believe this, but Brittney Jones is now on board with the release of her sex tape.
As is mandated by the bylaws of amateur porn production, the alleged mistress of Ashton Kutcher initially claimed she was taking legal action against the supposedly unauthorized marketing of her pounding some dude on video.
But after meeting with Vivid Chairman Steve Hirsch, Jones is lining her bank account reversing her stance.



Brittney Jones Sex Tape
“The video was coming out whether I liked it or not and I didn’t want everyone else to make money from this private home video except me," Jones says in a new statement. "If Kim Kardashian can survive and in fact do even better after a sex tape scandal, I guess I can, too.”
One can only hope. Brittney Jones Confidential is on sale now, folks. Do you think this random 22-year old has what it takes to be the next Kim?

Scott Disick Puts Price on Son

It's a question all fathers have asked themselves: How much should I charge a network for featuring my son on a reality TV show?
For Scott Disick, that answer is reportedly $5,000. For producers of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, which debuts January 23 on E!, their response is: HA!
Scott and Mason
$mile, $on!
Sources close to the show say E! offered $1,000/episode in exchange for Mason to appear on the upcoming spin-off, but Disick "played hardball" and "bungled negotiations, so you won't see Mason at all."
Scott's greed, of course, will likely benefit to Mason in the long run.

Conclusion to Breaking Dawn: Revealed?!?

POSSIBLE HUGE SPOILER ALERT: We may know how Breaking Dawn concludes.
Because the final installment of The Twilight Saga will be broken into two parts, producers had to find a way to break up the films in a suspenseful manner. According to someone who read the script and then spoke to a Robert Pattinson fansite, writers have come up with a way to do just that.
Robsten Art
The Volturi will confront the Cullens in a bloody, climactic scene that is described as follows:
Alice touches Aro. When she touches him, he ’sees’ what will happen if he continues his course. So, the first person whose head comes off is Carlisle. In the vision. Then everything goes to sh-t and all kinds of dying happens. And Bella and Edward kill Aro. Bella and Edward, they die too. All these other people die, too. Jane and her brother. Lots of deaths on both sides. Then the [Volturi] guy snaps out of it, says he’s sorry. Everybody makes up and lives happily ever after.
No fantasy sequence of this kind takes place in the book. However, as mentioned, the movie must come up with a way to conclude one half of Breaking Dawn and transition into the final movie.
Might this rumored scene accomplish that goal? You tell us. How does it sound?

JWoww on Jersey Shore Season 3: Crazy Drama!

JWoww promises plenty of drama when Jersey Shore returns for Season 3 next week. We're inclined to believe the fake-breasted, hot-headed star.
Frequent sparring partner Angelina Pivarnick may be gone, but according JWoww (Jenni Farley), tears and tirades are still to come on the MTV hit.
“There’s a whole lot of drama!” JWoww said, admitting that she is at the center of much of the action herself, thanks to her split with Tom Lippolis.
Where's the Costume?
BUSTIN' OUT: JWoww is so ready to this season.
“You will see that I go through a bad breakup, and I find new love,” Jenni says. “Everyone finally gets to see my side. I come out of my shell.”
JWoww’s pissed off ex publicly accused her of cheating - and cheating her out of royalties - last summer, but the starlet is hardly heartbroken.
Instead, she's turning her misadventures in love into the third season of her hit show, along with a dating advice book to be released next year.
At least she has Sammi Giancola to take out her frustrations on. Watch JWoww get into it with her roomie in the Jersey Shore Season 3 trailer!

Amber Portwood and Clinton Yunker: It's Over!

Amber Portwood and Clinton Yunker have broken up, paving the way for her eventual reconciliation with baby daddy/punching bag Gary Shirley.
Just kidding ... about the second part.
The controversial Teen Mom star ended the "mature relationship" this week, and the mixed martial artist has wasted little time moving on.
Clinton Yunker MugshotAmber Portwood Mug Shot
PORKER: They seemed like such a good match, too ...
"I was out with some friends at Buffalo Wild Wings and recognized Amber's boyfriend Clinton, but he was all over some girl," a source said.
"He told me Amber broke up with him."
In true reality TV style, things got crazy when Gary Shirley, who's been criticized for egging Amber on, showed up to the same restaurant.
"Clinton's brother was there with him and he tried to pick a fight with Gary and friends," the source said, though no punches were thrown.
Police were called to the restaurant but no one was arrested.
Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley had planned a trip to New York City to celebrate New Year's Eve and the prospect of getting back together.
Those plans were nixed when a No Contact Order was given to Portwood in lieu of her domestic violence charges from the local D.A.'s office.
She pleaded not guilty, but the No Contact Order remains.
That order bars her from seeing or having any contact with Shirley. It remains to be seen if it will be lifted. As far as Clinton Yunker goes?
"Clinton didn't seem too torn up about the breakup," the source said. "In fact, he seemed ecstatic and was really having a good night!"

Dr. Conrad Murray's Manslaughter Defense: Michael Jackson Killed Himself

Prosecutors in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case alluded to the defense Dr. Conrad Murray is likely to use in court - that the singer killed himself.
Not on purpose of course, but according to the legal team of the physician on trial for his death, Jackson killed himself with a fatal dose of Propofol.
L.A. County Deputy D.A. David Walgren says it's "clear the defense is operating under the theory that the victim, Michael Jackson, killed himself."
The JackoBad Doc
REASONABLE DOUBT? Is Murray's theory enough to beat the rap?
Murray claims he left Michael's bedroom the day he died (June 25, 2009) to go to the bathroom. MJ awoke and, in a moment of frustration, injected a massive dose of the anesthetic Murray was administering to treat his insomnia.
Walgren said of the Dr. Conrad Murray and his lawyers in court, "They don't want to say it, but that's the direction in which they are going."
In fact, they don't want to say anything. At the preliminary hearing, the defense plans on staying silent and letting the D.A. reveal its hand.
The defense believes there's no way this is not going to trial, and as such, will wait to see the prosecution outline its case before it decides how to proceed, using both the above theory and claims that other doctors over-medicated Michael.

Chris Brown, Raz B Apologize For Twitter Feud; Singer Professes Love For Gay Fans

Chris Brown denies he is homophobic. Nevertheless, he says he is sorry for making crass sexual references in his Twitter feud with Raz B.
"Yesterday was an unfortunate lack in judgment sparked by public attacks from Raz B, who was bent on getting attention," Brown said.
The anger-plagued singer adds, "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and frustrated I am over what transpired publicly on Twitter."
Brown Out of His MindRaz B Pic
RAZZING RAZ B: Chris Brown sure did that, homophobia or not.
Brown, who was given a death threat by Ricky Romance (Raz's brother), says "I have learned not to condone acts of violence against anyone."
"Molestation and victims of such acts are not to be taken lightly; and for my comments I apologize - from the bottom of my heart."
After Raz B called him out for beating Rihanna, Chris fired off a crude reference to the alleged molestation of Raz by his former manager.
A source close to Brown stresses that it's questionable whether Raz was actually molested, not that it excuses Chris' comments.
Brown ends his apology with this:
"I love all of my fans, gay and straight. I have friends from all walks of life and am committed, with God's help, to becoming a better person."
For his part, Raz has issued an apology of his own, saying, "I want to publicly apologize for my direct attacks done out of anger. This is about taking the right approach, so not only my story can be heard, but so someone learns something."
Raz B insists the Twitter feud was "not about receiving attention," as Brown insisted, but was about standing up for what he felt was "right."
Raz is not without blame here. He ignited the war, and after Brown reacted to Raz with racist and gay slurs, Raz hurled gay slurs of his own.
To his credit, he acknowledged that, adding, "Standing up for yourself does not mean yelling or victimizing others. I sincerely apologize."
"I was told that 'you can’t hear my message if I’m screaming.'”
As for the death threats Raz B's brother made towards Brown, Raz's rep says Ricky Romance's opinions and statement do not reflect how Raz feels, and that "Raz B cannot control his brother being protective over him."

Spotted: Brangelina in ... Missouri!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are always on the move. Their latest stop? Pitt's hometown of Springfield, Mo., where they spread good cheer ... and money.
Just days after celebrating Christmas in Namibia, the couple made a brief stopover at the St. John’s Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center in Springfield, Mo.
That's the place where Brad grew up.
Traveling Brangelina
"They called a little bit ahead, about an hour ahead, and requested to tour the pediatric center," hospital spokesperson Cora Scott said on Thursday.
"They stayed about 45 minutes. It was a very nice visit."
Pitt and Jolie, along with Pitt's brother and sister and their families, donated $1 million to St. John's Foundation for Community Health just last year.
They dedicated a pediatric cancer center to Pitt's mom.
"Jane Pitt is a gem in our community," Scott said. "She's a very wonderful woman who cares so very much about the well being of children."
During the brief visit Wednesday, the Hollywood A-list couple were accompanied by both of Brad Pitt's parents along with his brother Doug.
Pitt and Jolie didn't mention New Year's plans, but for now it seems that the couple and their kids are spending time with extended family.
No mention of their recent wedding either ... SHOCKING.

Joe Francis has confirmed his split from Christina McLarty.
His publicist said: “After careful and thoughtful consideration on both of our parts, Christina and I have mutually decided to end our relationship. We entered into our relationship with love and it’s with love and kindness that we leave it."
"We wish each other the best for the future. There was no divorce and there will be no divorce because the couple was never legally married."
Francis and Christina McLarty had a civil ceremony "wedding" just last month, but apparently it didn't count. Just a couple of points here:

  • Is the engagement ring she's flashing in this photo fake as well?

"Then all of a sudden you're like, 'Woah!' But you get used to it. You ignore it. 'Cause whatever people say about me doesn't bother me at all."
"It doesn't matter if you're in high school or college or at work, someone's not going to like you. It's inevitable. But it doesn't mean anything."
Sage words from someone so young. Between all the pro-masturbation comments and topless concert photos, our little girl is really maturing.

Ashton Kutcher Prepares for the Apocalypse

Now we know why Ashton Kutcher wasn't so worked up about those Brittney Jones allegations. The actor has far more pressing issues on his mind!
In the latest issue of Men's Fitness, the No Strings Attached star says the Apocalypse is almost upon us and he even knows how it will all go down:
"It will not take much for people to hit the panic button... You start taking out electricity and satellites, and people are going to lose their noodle. People don't have maps anymore. People use their iPhones or GPS systems, so if there's no electricity, nobody has maps."
Men's Fitness Cover Boy
Kutcher himself then asks and answers: What happens when all our modern conveniences fail?
"I'm going to be ready to take myself and my family to a safe place where they don't have to worry."
That's why he's stocking up on guns and running the canyons near his house, while also doing bikram yoga and learning Krav Maga, an Israeli combat technique.
"All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the end of day. I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I care about."
And, hey, if he looks good in a bathing suit to boot, all the better!

How Did She Slim Down?!?!?
What was her post-birth weight-loss secret?
"I try to make healthier choices.”

Eat healthy, cut down on portions and work out. We hope you're writing all this down, people. It's incredibly insightful stuff, totally worth the money you'll spend on this magazine.

Markai Durham, 16 and Pregnant Star, Under Fire Over Abortion Special

MTV somehow managed to upstage the antics of Teen Mom firebrand Amber Portwood this week with a controversial episode of 16 and Pregnant.
The special, entitled "No Easy Decision," chronicled the decision of Markai Durham, 19, to terminate her second pregnancy. Yes. She had an abortion.
Durham already has a daughter with her teenage boyfriend, and the couple concluded, sadly, that they simply couldn't afford to raise another child.
Markai Durham Picture
16 19 AND PREGNANT: Markai Durham made the decision to end her second pregnancy. Reactions to this vary widely depending on one's view of abortion.
While Entertainment Weekly called the MTV reality show a "vivid, unsparing look" at a "harrowing decision," Fox News described the special as "controversial."
The N.Y. Post reports that anti-abortion critics railed against the "one-sided portrayal" of the issue, saying "the pro-life issue will simply get tackled."
For her part, Markai Durham is standing by her decision saying, "I get sad from time to time thinking about it, but then everything happens for a reason."
A post on Durham's Facebook fan page sought to quell negativity as well:
"Let me say this again: If you DONT like Markai or her decision. UNLIKE the page, its simple. Markai feels enough pain for making her choice, she DOESNT need to be ridiculed for it. Shes been honest with you when she could have hid it."
"Have some respect or leave! Seriously there are plenty of pages "talking (expletive)" so go there. Dont waste your time, Im just going to ban you."
If nothing else, you have to credit Markai for courageously subjecting herself to the criticism she knew she'd face when this special episode aired.
Was their decision not to have a child they couldn't afford actually responsible? Why not practice safe sex? Is it all unethical? So many questions.
No matter where you stand on the pro-life issue, abortions do happen. What do you think? Did MTV tackle the subject fairly? Share your comments.

Michael Jackson Estate on Discovery Channel Autopsy Special: Are You Kidding?!

Michael Jackson's estate is incensed, albeit legally powerless to ax a documentary about the late singer's autopsy on the Discovery Channel.
The upcoming special set to run in the UK features a reenactment of MJ's autopsy. The King of Pop's fans and executors alike are irate over it.
This advertisement is a big reason why ...
Michael Jackson Documentary Ad
NOT CUTTING IT: In any language, it's bad taste.
Co-Executors John Branca and John McClain lambasted the network for "cynically attempting to dupe the public into believing this has serious medical value."
Branca and McClain can't legally stop the Jan. 13 special exploiting Michael's death, so they're mounting a press offensive in hopes of shaming Discovery.
The L.A. County Coroner is with them, too. Producers from Discovery went to Asst. Chief Coroner Ed Winter earlier this year and were told to kiss off.
"I told them no, we had no interest and it was a pending case," Winter said. "It's unprofessional. I wouldn't do it anyway out of respect for the family."
Producers did get a copy of the Coroner's report, which is public record.

Extortion Case Against Oksana Grigorieva Looking Thinner Than Expected

Mel Gibson claims Oksana Grigorieva tried to extort him, and despite what a shady character she is, proving that claim is proving difficult.
The investigation of Gibson's accusations that his former flame and the mother of his daughter tried to extort him is weak, reports indicate.
"It's looking more and more like no crime was committed by Ms. Grigorieva," a well placed source with knowledge of the situation says.
Mel and Oksana Pic
Is Oksana Grigorieva about to be let off the hook?
The troubled actor is being investigated for domestic violence against Oksana Grigorieva, a separate investigation also nearing its end.
Mel Gibson and his attorney, Blair Berk, met with officials to discuss what they believe was deliberate extortion on the part of Oksana.
But it looks like actual evidence is thinner than Lindsay Lohan.
"There is simply no smoking gun against Oksana," the source said. "There are emails which Gibson's camp say is clearly extortion."
But those emails can also be viewed in the context of an ongoing negotiation between Mel and Oksana regarding custody of Lucia.
That makes it tougher to prove extortion, the sources say.
Oksana was represented by a very well regarded lawyer, Eric George and walked away from the large settlement she tried to procure, said the well-placed source, noting complications in any potential criminal case against Oksana.
Extortion is always hard to prove, especially if the person being accused was already repped by a lawyer and in a custody dispute.
Unless you're the idiot who tried to bilk David Letterman and make it beyond obvious, it's very tough to make the charge stand up.
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department hasn't officially handed over the extortion case to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

Laura Govan Accuses Gilbert Arenas of Family Abandonment

When NBA star Gilbert Arenas was traded to the Orlando Magic this month, he didn't just leave behind the Washington Wizards. He also abandoned his pregnant girlfriend and three children.
A publicist for Laura Govan tells The Washington Post that the guard's baby mama "has not heard from Arenas the whole month of December." He reportedly left his family "with no money to purchase food or Christmas gifts."

Arenas actually seemed to acknowledge his irresponsible behavior, telling the newspaper soon after the trade: "I went to the airport and left. I didn't have a chance to say bye to anybody. I didn't even say bye to the kids."
Govan - who is the sister of Basketball Wives star Gloria Govan - and Arenas have had a rocky nine-year relationship.
They've broken up numerous times, she's been accused of having an affair with Shaquille O'Neal and she's currently knocked up with her and Gilbert's fourth child.
Overall, we know Arenas likes to call himself as Agent Zero, but we always thought that was a reference to his uniform number. Not his number of morals.

Natalie Portman Loves Girl-on-Girl Action

"How do you get guys to a ballet movie? How do you get girls to a thriller? The answer is a lesbian scene. Everyone wants to see that." - Natalie Portman
The producers of Black Swan apparently agree with her. In Darren Aronofsky's dark spin on the classic ballet Swan Lake, Natalie and Mila Kunis go at it.
Portman also stars in No Strings Attached (as well as the upcoming Your Highness and The Other Woman), but that alone should put Black Swan atop your list:

"Everyone was so worried about who was going to want to see this movie," Portman, who just got engaged to Benjamin Millepied, said in an interview.
Natalie and Mila in a bed-rocking sex scene should help with that problem. The hot, surprising hook-up helped the film get more than just Oscar buzz.
