Oksana Grigorieva on Larry King: Mel is Insane

Oksana Grigorieva told Larry King last night that Mel Gibson hit her, choked her, waved a gun at her and made her sincerely think she was going to die.
On "Jan. 6 [of this year] the beating took place," the actor's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his daughter, who also has a 12-year-old son by Timothy Dalton said. "Mel actually assaulted me while I was holding the baby in my arms."
"I ran into my son's bedroom and told him, 'Mel's crazy.'"

Grigorieva said that at that moment, her son, Alexander, hid behind the bed as Oksana stood with her daughter Lucia, "like a mother protecting her cubs."
News came out this week that Mel admitted slapping Oksana, but not punching her, in a hysterical moment during which he says he was protecting Lucia.
She says he did much worse, and recorded the Mel Gibson tapes as evidence of her murder, if that happened, but also to "help" crazy Mel if it did not.

Randy Jackson on New Michael Songs: FAKE!!!

Michael Jackson's brother Randy went OFF on Twitter last night, stoking the flames of the debate among fans and family members over Michael's "new" music.
Swearing some songs on Sony's upcoming Michael album are fake, he writes "Some of the songs are him, and some aren't. I would be [sic] my life on that."
"I know this may seem harsh, but this is the truth, as I know it..."

Every expert, including forensic voice specialists, who analyzed the tracks said the voice on "Breaking News" is MJ's, but Randy Jackson is undeterred.
Undeterred and conspiratorial: "But what's worse ... is that my brother isn't here, and these people are more concerned about making money off his death. They could care less about why and how he died, or maybe they already know."
Randy also claims MJ's executors "didn't care about quality or how complete the vocals were." That's a different argument, one we also heard from will.i.am in lamenting the album release, but it doesn't mean it's not him.

Katy Perry's Chest: Too Big For the Troops

To help promote VH1's upcoming December 5 special Divas Salute the Troops, Katy Perry was photographed posing like a pinup girl, according to reports.
That's nice, right? Not for her reps, who think she's just too voluptuous. "Her team thinks her boobs look too big," the source says of the 34D newlywed.
Another source confirms: "It's true. The ads are being redone!"

Do Katy Perry's reps know who they're repping?

Yesterday, VH1 released the retouched promo shot (left) featuring Perry's downsized chest. Absurd. If they want to Salute the Troops, why not leave it as is?
Honestly, if you're seen any Katy Perry pictures, why would you want a toned-down version? She's all-natural and attractive. This is just plain discriminatory!
It's not Perry's first cleavage controversy, if you recall. In September, Sesame Street yanked her duet with Elmo after a public outcry over her low-cut dress.

Bristol Palin on Dancing With the Stars Finals Run: "I'm Comfortable"

Bristol Palin was as shocked as anyone that she made the Dancing with the Stars finals, but that doesn't mean she feels she's undeserving of her spot.
"I'm thrilled! It hasn't fully sunk in for me," she told Us Weekly after Tuesday's results show. "I know we're in the finals, but it doesn't seem real yet."
She knows that her final-three status is controversial, especially after this week's elimination of Brandy, but Bristol said she's not hurt by the skeptics.

Could Bristol Palin actually WIN Dancing With the Stars?

"I know I've worked hard to get where I am," she said. "I definitely feel like I'm the most improved dancer on this show, so I'm comfortable with that."
Her pro partner Mark Ballas added that DWTS has a long history of "shocking" results, citing Sabrina Bryan, Joanna Krupa, Jennie Garth and Mel B.
Still, her moves are so mediocre, it's even harder to take her seriously on the dance floor than in the Bristol Palin-Situation PSA. What do you think?

Eva Longoria Confirms Divorce From Tony Parker

ollowing the shocking revelation of his affair with Erin Barry, Eva Longoria has issued a brief statement confirming she is divorcing Tony Parker.
"It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce," she said of Parker, whom she married back in 2007.
"We love each other deeply and pray for each other’s happiness."

BALL HER: San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker and Eva Longoria appeared to have a model marriage, but he was apparently running around with Brent Barry's wife.

Citing irreconcilable differences, she filed for divorce Wednesday morning in L.A. Superior Court. Rumors of their split began earlier in the week.
Parker reportedly had an affair with Erin Barry, his teammate's wife, earlier in his marriage to Longoria, then kept in touch with her on Facebook.
Says a source, "Eva is heartbroken by the betrayal."
Eva Longoria recently discovered that her husband had also been exchanging texts with Barry for a year, several hundred in one month even.

Sonja Morgan: In Debt, Angry at John Travolta

Don't worry, Teresa Giudice. You aren't the only member of the Real Housewives franchise who is an idiot with money.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Sonja Morgan filed for bankruptcy protection yesterday, listing $19.8 million in debt and $13.5 million in assets on her petition. We'll give you a moment to let those numbers sink in...

"The decision to seek bankruptcy was not an easy one, but unfortunately, I am at a crossroads in my life," wrote the 46-year-old Bravo star, who was arrested for DUI this summer, in court papers.

So, what role does John Travolta play in this?

Morgan blames her mounting debt on a failed film venture with Hannibal Pictures Inc.

She says she threw a lot of money into the production of Fast Flash to Bang Time, but the movie never began shooting because Travolta required "various conditions" that producers were unable to meet.

Moreover, Morgan's court documents cite her "bitter" divorce from her husband as a cause for her financial problems, adding to the overall point: anyone except Sonja Morgan herself is to blame for this, people!

Kendra Wilkinson Insists: Moms Can Be Sexy!

Kendra Wilkinson has had it!
The Playboy centerfold is sick of all those news stories that claim mothers can't be sexy and is doing something about it: posing on yet another tabloid cover and issuing more nonsensical, misleading statements about her life. To wit:

This just in: Kendra Wilkinson is not a nun!

Just a couple retorts to the capitalized headline above: Has anyone ever claimed a mom cannot be sexy? We're pretty sure Heidi Klum has four kids. Hot case closed.

Meanwhile, in the latest sign of the approaching Apocalypse, sources confirm that Kendra will be writing a second book. Her first somehow shot to number-four on The New York Times Bestseller List.

"People still crave knowing about her life now as a mom to little Hank," a publishing insider told Life & Style. "Kendra's part of a new breed of mothers, the kind that can dress provocatively for a wild night of dancing, but still get up in the morning to change diapers. She wants to show everyone you can be a mom, work and be sexy."

You sure can. It helps when you're worth millions of dollars, too.

Kate Gosselin: Living Like Diva, Facing Fiscal Ruin!

Kate Gosselin is spending money like it's going out of style.
The only problem? With eight children and the kind of lifestyle only the richest can afford, her reduced income can't match her diva-like spending habits.
This could explain the kids eating moldy sandwiches lately.

THE WELL IS DRYING: Kate Gosselin's still spending, though.

Kate the child abuser made a small fortune from her TLC show and Dancing With the Stars, but insiders say much, if not most of it has evaporated.
"Kate lives like she is a movie star," a friend tells PopEater. "She flies first class, stays at expensive hotels. She once spent $7,000 on a haircut!"
While Kate keeps living the diva life, all the lucrative deals she's tried to put together to earn the cash to keep it up seem to have fallen through.
"Kate was hoping to get paid to endorse a bunch of products," the friend reports. "She thought she would earn millions advertising baby carriages."
"The poor thing even thought she would get a deal with Cover Girl after being on Dancing With The Stars, instead they went with Beyonce."
LOL, Kate. Delusional much?
There's no end in sight, either. With eight mouths to feed, not to mention the new expense of having a home tutor for two of the sextuplets - after Collin and Alexis Gosselin's expulsion from private school - the bills keep piling up.
"Kate is so worried about her finances that she's even thinking about getting a real job," an insider says. Hey, it's not like she can count on Jon.

Miley Cyrus Speaks on Big Bang Video, 18th Birthday Plans and More

What was it like for Miley Cyrus to make out with Keven Zegers in the music video for The Big Bang? How will this singer celebrate her 18th birthday in just a few days?
During a break from rehearsing for her appearance at this Sunday's American Music Awards, Miley answered these questions and more. To wit:
"Kevin is actually the boyfriend of someone that works very closely with me," Miley says. "So there was definitely a little awkwardness since she was on set or whatever."

For understandable reasons, Miley remained mum on the topic of her parents' divorce, not commenting on rumors that she played an indirect role in their split.

Bristol Palin Defends Willow Palin, Sort of Apologizes For Gay Slur

With 16-year-old Willow Palin catching some serious heat for calling an old classmate a f***ot on Facebook, older sister Bristol stepped up to apologize.
"Willow and I shouldn't have reacted to the negative comments about our family. We apologize," Bristol Palin wrote on her Facebook wall. "On a nicer note, thank you for supporting the great competition in Dancing with the Stars!"
Nice plug.

Bristol Palin has her sister Willow's back.

A few hours later, B-Palin added: "Thank you supporters who continue to support. The haters are already pulling out all the stops this week to destroy."
Yes, there it is. The conspiracy angle. Some misguided defenders of the Palins have opined that using the word f----t is only bad because it's Willow.
Bristol did not specifically mention Willow's gay slur directed at Tre, some dude who supposedly went to their school, and who updated his Facebook page Sunday with, "Sarah Palin's Alaska is failing so hard right now."
Not to take this biting criticism of her mom's show lightly, Willow retorted: "Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I've seen pictures of, your disgusting … My sister had a kid and is still hot...Tre stfu. Your such a f----t."
For her part, Bristol joined Willow in bashing Tre, writing: "You're running your mouth just to talk s--t." She also singled out some guy named "Jon," writing: "You'll be as successful as my baby daddy, And actually I do work my ass off."
"I've been a single mom for the last two years."
Willow has since deleted her Facebook account. Should we care what a teenager says? Is it any less bad because the word is common? The question remains ...

Erin Barry and Tony Parker: Inside Their Sexting and Eva Longoria's Revenge

Eva Longoria was devastated when she discovered her husband, Tony Parker, had been trading sexual texts with Erin Barry, the wife of his former teammate.
Erin and Brent Barry had been close friends with Eva and Tony at one point, making the betrayal even harder on the Desperate Housewives star, reports say.
That's why she decided to blindside him by filing for divorce from Parker before they decided to take the breakup news public, according to Radar. Point, Eva!

BARRY BAD CALL: Never text dirty with your teammate's wife.

“They were working out the details. They didn’t want it to become a messy divorce," says a source. "Then Eva got a little revenge and didn’t tell Tony she was filing and dropped the papers on him, catching him off balance for the media blitz.”
While some reports say the exchanges between Tony and Erin Barry were “innocent,” conflicting stories call the sext-messaging flirtatious, sexual and "over the line."
Erin Barry is also in the midst of a divorce from Brent. It's unclear if the relationship with Parker ever became physical, but it sure sent Eva into a tailspin.
Parker apparently claims it never progressed beyond texting.
“Look, any wife is going to be upset with what Tony did, but he swears the relationship with Erin stopped there and they never had sex,” a source tells Radar.
“And Tony also says the text messages ended months ago.”
Doesn't sound so minor when coupled with reports that Longoria herself not only filed for divorce out of nowhere, but leaked the story of Tony's infidelity.
“Suddenly, Eva Longoria not only filed the papers but then went public with Tony’s relationship with Erin Barry. He was surprised, to say the least."
Interestingly, initial reports of the couple's demise said that Tony filed divorce papers in Texas. This was in fact the plan, but he never did so.
“He held off,” the source said. “It had been discussed but then was abandoned. Next thing he knew she surprised him by filing on Wednesday."
Take that! Eva issued a brief statement confirming the split after the fact, and her reason for feeling burned is, honestly, quite understandable.
“Eva is furious that Tony started a relationship with a woman she knew, a woman they went out with as couple friends," says the insider. "She felt betrayed by Tony and this is how she decided to get a small measure of revenge.”
Well played, Eva Longoria. Well. Played.

Change is Coming to American Idol

A new judging panel isn't the only change coming to season 10 of American Idol.
Producer Nigel Lythgoe told TV Guide this week that he has a couple unique ideas for the season that kicks off in January:
1. There will be no top 24, as the show will cut contestants directly down to the final 12. Explains Lythgoe: "I didn't think [the top 24] were very good, I was bored with them by the time they got there."

2. Theme weeks will focus on decades instead than individual artists.

3. Finalists will face new challenges, most prominently contests to make the top music video, while also working with a band and dancers for an awards show-type performance.

It also sounds like we'll be treated to more country music than ever before this season. Sounds good to us. What does everyone else think of the changes coming to Idol?

Donald Trump For President? It Could Happen!

Will Donald Trump seriously run for President?
Appearing on Good Morning America today, the mogul, who has toyed with the idea before, was talking about it again this morning - and seriously.
His reasoning was simple: "I'm looking at this country, and what's happened in terms of respect. And the respect for this country is just not there."

TRUMP 2012: Don't laugh. The Donald is considering it.

"I have many people from China that I do business with, they laugh at us. They feel we're fools. And almost being led by fools," Trump continued.
But is he the man to change all that?
According to Trump, the United States has become a "whipping post" for China to assert its control because of the nations' trade imbalance and China's currency manipulation, a problem he claims President Barack Obama has failed to address.
That would change under Trump, Trump claims.
"When you have billions in dollars in deficits with a country, those are trade wars I like. You don't have to do business with China. You don't have to do business with other countries," The Apprentice creator added, basically firing China.
So will he run or not? He can certainly afford it.
Trump said if he runs, it'll be as a Republican and he would be willing to spend at least $200 million of his own money in a campaign. Watch out, Sarah Palin!
"I would take her on," he says of the Thrilla From Wasilla, although he says it's foolish to underestimate Bristol's mama grizzly. "I like her, but I'd take her on."
His decision will be based, he says, on whether America "continues to be taken advantage of by the world." Basically, subject to change, and interpretation.
"Would I rather be in the race or not be in the race? I can tell you, I love what I'm doing. I'm having a great time doing what I do. I'd rather not [run]."
Just don't write him off yet. That 'd be no fun.

Tiger Woods Opens Up About "Pain in My Soul"

Tiger Woods is reeling - on and off the golf course.
Nearly a year after the Thanksgiving car crash that exposed his affair with Rachel Uchitel and later countless others, the golfer is opening up to Newsweek.
"Last November, everything I thought I knew about myself changed abruptly, and what others perceived about me shifted, too," Woods writes in an essay.

For Tiger Woods (and THG), life changed forever that night.

Last Thanksgiving night, the golfer drove his Escalade into a fire hydrant outside the home he shared with wife Elin Nordegren and their two young children.
Later, we learned he and Elin were arguing over his affair with Uchitel. It was just the beginning of one of the biggest sex scandals in history unraveling.
Woods writes: "I had been conducting my personal life in an artificial way, detached from values my upbringing had taught, and I should have embraced."
"The physical pain from that car accident has long healed. But the pain in my soul is more complex and unsettling; it has been far more difficult to ease - and to understand. But this much is obvious now: my life was out of balance."
"My priorities were out of order. I made terrible choices and repeated mistakes. I hurt the people whom I loved the most. And even beyond accepting the consequences and responsibility, there is the ongoing struggle to learn from my failings."
He and Elin finalized their divorce this August.
Expressing new appreciation for fatherhood and life in general, he adds: "Slowly, I'm regaining the balance that I'd lost. My healing process is far from complete."
"I am beginning to appreciate things I overlooked before. Some victories can mean smiles, not trophies, and that life's most ordinary events can bring joy. Giving my son, Charlie, a bath, for example, beats chipping another bucket of balls."
"Making mac and cheese for him and his sister, Sam, is better than any restaurant. Sharing a laugh watching cartoons or reading a book beats channel-surfing alone. Some nights, it's just me and the kids, an experience that's both trying and rewarding. Probably like the experience a lot of families have every evening around the world."
It's hard to say from our perspective, but here's hoping Tiger truly is humbled by all he's been through, becomes a better person for it, and comes back better than ever. He didn't win a tournament in 2010. We wouldn't bet against him next year.

Amber Portwood: Charged With Felony Battery!

Looks like Amber Portwood's attacks on Gary Shirley will have consequences.
The Teen Mom star has been charged with two felony counts and one misdemeanor for domestic violence and battery today. Under Indiana law, domestic abuse is a felony if a child is present for the abuse, as baby Leah was in both cases.
One of the charges is based on footage never aired by MTV. The other:

SLAPPED: Gary Shirley knows how that feels. Now Amber Portwood's been hit as well - with criminal charges stemming from the couple's recent squabbles.

The incidents related to the charges happened June 14, July 18 and August 14 of this year. Documents say Amber choked, slapped, punched and kicked Gary.
Detective Mitch Carroll says that if convicted, Amber Portwood faces up to three years in jail and fines of up to $10,000. Still, the troubled star is defiant.
“I didn’t hit Gary in front of Leah so there's no felony,” she told Hollywood Life. “There’s nothing against me. They can’t charge if they don’t have proof.”
We'll see about that, since she lost baby Leah as a result ...

Tony Parker on Erin Barry "Affair": Sexting Only!

Two new revelations in the week's top celebrity scandal:

1. The Eva Longoria-Tony Parker divorce was in the works at least a week before Eva filed, contrary to the story some people in her camp have spread.
2. Tony denies having sex with Erin Barry.

SEXTING: A portmanteau of sex and texting, first popularized circa 2005; The act of exchanging sexually explicit messages or photos between mobile phones.

Tony admits a "sexting relationship" with Erin, the estranged wife of his former Spurs teammate Brent Barry, but nothing more, and says even that ended months ago.
Parker sources insist, "They never had a physical relationship."
As for Eva's "revenge filing" that supposedly blindsided Tony, new reports suggest that's not true, and that he was aware she would file the papers in Los Angeles.
As for her motivation in doing so, that's still up for debate.
Not only was the Eva Longoria-Tony Parker divorce a foregone conclusion, but it was timed to coincide with the Us Weekly cover story about it. Just bizarre.
As for why Tony and Eva are telling different stories about the divorce, a close friend of Tony's puts it simply: "She was into the whole PR thing. He wasn't."
Eva's people say Tony's story is untrue ... with one source saying they "were still talking about working out the marriage up until the morning she filed."
The long and short of it: Who was planning what and when depend on who you ask, as does whether Tony put it to Erin Barry. But it's definitely over.
