Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene: Happy as Ever!

Following the announcement by Demi Lovato that she's seeking treatment for an abundance of personal issues, Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene have found themselves under unexpected fire.
Fans of the 18-year old singer initially jumped to unfortunate conclusions and blamed Demi's ex for dating Greene so soon after he and Lovato broke up. The criticism has since died down, allowing these two to focus on their relationship.
Which, sources confirm, is going extremely well.
Greene and Jonas
Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas: Coffee today, a ring tomorrow?!?
E! News quotes a friend that says Ashley's parents have met Joe and simply adore him. Look for this couple to spend the holidays together.
"They are happy as ever right now," says the pal.
And, hey, no signs yet that Greene is corrupting Jonas in any way. So that's good.

Dancing With the Stars: Who Will Win?

Does Jennifer Grey deserve it because of the physical ailments she's overcome and the high scores she's consistently produced, week in and week out?
Does unheralded, charismatic Kyle Massey get the nod thanks to the rare blend of technical merit and fun he and Lacey Schwimmer bring to the table?
Does Bristol Palin deserve it because ... well, presumably people have some reason for stuffing the virtual ballot box for Sarah's daughter each Monday.
Who should win Dancing With the Stars this evening?

Megyn Kelly in GQ: Foxy News Anchor!

Everyday on Fox News, Megyn Kelly reports from her America Live desk. Now, GQ has decided: she's hot!
The blonde "reporter" is featured in the magazine's latest issue, showing just how fair her skin is and and just how balanced her... nevermind.
Megyn Kelly in GQ
Among the topics Kelly tackles in the interview is the old rumor that she carried on an affair with fellow anchor Brit Hume. Megyn says of this story:
"I think Brit knew how preposterous it was to anyone with two nickels in between their ears. The first thing he said at his retirement dinner was "I haven't been this honored since that rumor about me having an affair with Megyn Kelly went around."
Clearly, this is a woman unafraid to embrace her sex appeal. But is that the proper attitude for the lead daytime anchor on the country's most watched news network? You tell us: Megyn Kelly in GQ is...

Michael Brea Suspected of Decapitating Mother with a Samurai Sword

This is as bizarre and as heinous a story as we could possibly imagine.
Michael Brea, a small-time actor who once appeared on Ugly Betty, has been taken into custody for allegedly chopping off the head of his mother with a samurai sword.
Michael Brea Picture
According to police reports, cops arrived to an "extremely bloody" scene at Brea's Brooklyn home around 2:20 this morning and found the actor holding a bible. They had to subdue him via taser.
A neighbor recounted events, as he/she heard them, to WPIX 11: "I hear [Brea] chasing [his mother] through the house and he's just saying a bunch of [Bible] passages like, 'Repent, Repent, Repent.' I heard him chasing her through the house and I heard a loud scream and so I have my father call the cops."
The victim was found with her head sliced off. At the moment, Brea is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation and then will be handed over to the NYPD.

Clear the Road: Lindsay Lohan Regains License

Lindsay Lohan has regained the right to operate a motor vehicle. We are happy for her ... and scared bit for residents of Palm Springs, California.
The L.A. County Probation Department and officials at the Betty Ford clinic signed off this morning, so Lindsay can drive again. Special treatment?
Not so much. Officials allow this for people "at Lindsay's care and treatment level," though it's still odd, as her legal problems stem from driving.

SCARED? It's LiLo, we wouldn't blame you. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
Meanwhile, Michael Lohan is so stoked about his daughter regaining her driver's license, dude gave her his own Mercedes Benz to tool around town in!
Not only is she planning on having Thanksgiving with dad, she's cruising around in the (very expensive) wheels MiLo lent her to prove his trust.
Michael dropped the convertible off Monday for her to drive as she pleases. How nice. We'd still keep a lengthy following distance ... but nice.

A Royal Frenzy: Tabloids Concoct Coverage of Kate Middleton and Prince William Engagement

What's the only development that will get tabloids in more of a frenzy than rumors of an engagement between Kate Middleton and Prince William? That's easy:
An actual Kate Middleton and Prince William engagement.
Following months of speculation over whether this couple was broken up or already wedding planning, trashy magazines scrambled this week to find some unique angle on the fact that Kate and William are simply happy, together and engaged. Let's see what they came up with:
The Real KateMaking of a PrincessA Wedding Special
From stories on the "real" Kate (newsflash: she wears a bikini sometimes!) to inside dish on how Middleton has been molded into a princess, these publications claim to have it all. To wit:
Us Weekly reports Kate has received "royal assistance" for years, including lessons on the paparazzi-filled life of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. Says Katie Nicholl, author of "William and Harry: Behind the Palace Walls."
"About three years ago, palace staff started showing Kate video of Diana. Video of her getting out of a car and paparazzi going berserk, so that Kate would know how to deal with it. Now, she already knows how this works."
One of Kate's first lessons in this world: don't speak to tabloids such as Us Weekly.

Randy Quaid: Canada Saved My Life!

Increasingly crazy actor Randy Quaid says if it wasn’t for Canada's refugee system, he and his wife Evi would be dead. Thanks to the star whackers, natch.
Quaid made this comment as he entered his immigration and refugee board hearing in Vancouver, B.C. The couple faces an outstanding warrant in the U.S.
"If it wasn't for Canada's refuge system, my wife and I would be dead," Randy told CKNW Vancouver, adding that he "feels good" despite the drama.
Evi, Randy Quaid
BRINGING THE CRAZY: No one does it like the Quaids.
The strange couple, wanted for squatting in a home they used to own in California, is claiming refugee status because of a bizarre theory that they're in danger.
According to Randy and Evi Quaid, a random, roving gang of hooligans is hell-bent on ruining the lives of and/or murdering famous people such as themselves.
The situation became even stranger after the board determined that Evi Quaid could claim Canadian citizenship because her father was born in Canada.
Today's hearing will establish if Randy may remain in Canada. We sort of hope he can, for his sake, even if it'd be more entertaining if he came home.

Yes, Source Confirms, Kim Kardashian is Dating Gabriel Aubry!

It was more than just a random sighting at a Lakers game, sources say. Kim Kardashian and Gabriel Aubry really are an item!
A couple days after cameras caught the reality star alongside Halle Berry's ex, an insider tells Us Weekly "they met through friends and have been dating a few weeks."
Kim and Gabriel
Another person claiming to be in the know elaborated a bit to Life & Style:
"Kim and Gabriel met a few times while they were both in New York, and there was definitely chemistry. But when Kim returned to Los Angeles last Thursday, they really took it to the next level. They went out to dinner, caught the Lakers game and spent time at Kim's house."
This source says Aubry has already met Kim's mother and sisters, all of whom are "wild" about him. We guess there's only one thing left to decide then, readers: Kubry? Gardashian? These two need a nickname, stat!

Fantasia in Court: I Aborted Antwaun Cook's Baby

Fantasia Barrino may possess an incredible voice, but she's known more for her scandal-filled personal life than anything else these days.
The latest bombshell to drop from this former American Idol champion arrives courtesy of her recent court testimony, as Fantastia was a witness in boyfriend Antwaun Cook's divorce proceedings against ex-wife Paula yesterday.
Under oath, Barrino reportedly stated she got pregnant by Cook and had an abortion.
Fantasia B.
In August, Cook admitted he had been sleeping with the singer, but said Fantasia was unaware he was still married.
That was the focus of a line of questioning in front of a Mecklenburg County Court judge yesterday, as Paula Cook's attorney pressed Barrino on whether or not she knew her boyfriend was still living with his wife during their relationship.
Because reporters were barred from the courtroom, it's unknown exactly what exchange led to Fantasia's admission, but multiple sources told Radar Online she confirmed the abortion and said it took place around the time of her summer suicide attempt.
Antwaun and Paula are in court because they were unable to settle on terms of a divorce through private mediation.
Meanwhile, it's still conceivable that Paula could sue Fantasia over the unusual Alienation of Affection law, which North Carolina still has on the books and which states that an abandoned spouse can file lawsuit against the party responsible for the dissolution of a marriage.

Heidi Montag: "Obsessed" With Plastic Surgery!

Heidi Montag has married Spencer Pratt a bunch of times, but her true love is plastic surgery, and her secret crush was the man who operated on her.
One of the late Dr. Frank Ryan's close friends, Dawn DaLuise, takes issue with Heidi's claim that he pressured her into her hilarious major makeover.
"I believe she had a crush on him," the celebrity plastic surgeon's pal said. "She was romantically obsessed. She saw him as a night in shining armor."

WORK DONE: Dr. Frank Ryan did a number. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
To hear Heidi Montag tell it now, Dr. Ryan - who died in a car accident after driving off a cliff in Malibu - wanted the poor thing "to be his Barbie doll."
DaLuise said it was Heidi who made the Barbie comment.
"He sent texts and emails saying she wanted to be Barbie, to look exactly like Barbie," DaLuise said, adding that Ryan tried to talk the plastic surgery addict OUT of getting DDD breasts, a brow lift, a nose job, lipo, butt augmentation, etc.
"He presented why he didn't think this was a good idea."
DaLuise shot back at the wife of Spencer Pratt after she trash talked the dead surgeon, suggesting that Heidi, not the late doctor, is merely a publicity seeking opportunist who used the death of Dr. Ryan in a bid to stay famous.
Yup, we can see that.
"They knew she showed up at the office uninvited, and they knew she phoned and he wouldn't take [her] calls," DaLuise said, noting that. "She began that pursuit only after he was rebuking her on a personal and social level."
She said others friends and workers of Dr. Ryan will come forward if she doesn't stop desecrating his memory. Eh, that probably won't stop her.

Kim Kardashian Signs on for Sketchers

Feet may not be the first (or second... or third...) body part that comes to mind when you think of Kim Kardashian, but Sketchers is hoping to change that.
The sneaker company has signed Kim and mother Kris Jenner to endorsement deals. Look for the pair to be featured in a campaign titled "Shaping Up With the Kardashians," a fitness challenge that will serve as this brand's marketing centerpiece in 2011.
Hey, whatever weight loss program that doesn't involve hours on the toilet is a step in the right direction for these people.
Sketchers GalSneaker Spokeswoman

"Shape-ups have already impacted my fitness routine for the better," Kim said soon after this announcement was made. "I am always on-the-move and never know exactly when I can fit in my next workout."
Adds Skechers Fitness Group President Leonard Amato: "Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are aspirational individuals and the perfect spokespeople to inspire women to maximize their fitness level."
Hehe. We're trying not to laugh too hard at any reference to Kim Kardashian as an aspirational individual. Apt word choice, dude.

Jake Pavelka is on Team Bristol Palin

Jake Pavelka, who lasted five weeks last season on Dancing With the Stars, can relate to Bristol Palin. He knows a thing or two about having two left feet.
While Jake's popularity couldn't match Bristol the Pistol, who made to the finals, he says it's great that she lasted this long - and she has a shot tonight.
“It’s a level playing field. The score is zero, zero, zero,” the former Bachelor and Bachelorette star said. “It’s what makes Dancing With the Stars special."
Bristol and Jake
From one bad dancer to another ...
"It really proves that when America votes, it’s what drives the show. It’s just like American Idol, it’s not decided by the judges. It’s decided by America.”
Well, the judges do play a role, as we discussed in our Dancing With the Stars recap earlier. But his point is essentially correct, and Bristol's proof of it.
When asked who his dream star for DWTS would be? "I think Jennifer Love Hewitt should do Dancing With the Stars. She’s a hottie,” Pavelka said.

Charlie Sheen Text Messages Reveal Plans to "Get Ball Rollin" on Payments to Capri Anderson

Advantage Team Capri?
While Charlie Sheen and Capri Anderson wrestle back and forth in the media and in the courtroom - the latest development in the battle between this sitcom and porn star revolves around the former suing the latter for extortion - TMZ has uncovered a slew of text messages that back up at least two of Anderson's claims.
On GMA
In an interview with ABC that aired yesterday, Capri said Sheen contacted her the day after he allegedly went berzerk inside a NYC hotel room and offered her $20,000 to not tell her side of the story.
She's also cited an expensive purse the actor destroyed during his rampage on the night of October 25. If the following text messages are to believed, exchanges between these two soon after this incident took place do at least confirm these aspects of Anderson's story.
As first published by TMZ, we present a series of texts between Anderson and Sheen from the day after their infamous first day together:
Sheen: "All I need is an Acct number etc and I will wire u 20k if u think that will cover everything ... I really feel bad, u are as cool and sexy and as sweet and fun and friendly as they get!"
Anderson: "u trashed my brand new prada purse dude not cool - how u managed to rip the strap off and put 2 holes in it is beyond me."
Sheen: "Don't worry about our mutual friends, deal with me directly and I promise u kind lady, all will be restored and set straight."
Anderson: "Yes u can call me.  I don't have a bank account believe it or not."
Sheen: "Oh, well in that case, lemme put together a plan to get u square and flush.  Can u tok (sic) for a sec now sweetie?"
Sheen: "Good news!  My asst Rick is good friends with a cat named Mark in NY, he will get the wire, cash that bitch, and deliver it to u where ever it's convenient ... I'll get the ball Rollin in am, and have data for u asap after that...
Anderson: "Can he leave it somewhere secure for me to pick up?  Like with a bank rep ... I'm rlly nervous about all this."
Sheen: "Of course, whatever makes u feel better... Lemme start that ball Rollin and I'll get back to u with the details..."

Kim Zolciak: Angling for a Spin-Off?

Kim Zolciak is pregnant. But instead of seeing first steps and adorable giggles in her future, this Real Housewife can only see one thing: dollar signs.
Insiders tell Radar Online that Kim wants to follow the Bethenny Frankel model of ditching one show for the grander opportunity of starring in a spin-off that would follow her and boyfriend Kroy Biermann as they prepare for parenthood.
There's nothing like using a fetus as a bargaining chip, is there?
Trying to Sing
If Kim Zolciak is given her own show, can she at least be barred from singing on it?
"Kim knows that having this baby represents a great opportunity and she is already in talks about her own reality show spin-off starring Kroy," a source says. "This would represent a real problem for Real Housewives of Atlanta because they wanted her baby and any wedding for their show... it will all come down to money."
Ah, the joys of expecting motherhood.

Oksana's Bodyguard: Mel Wanted Me Dead! DEAD!

Mel Gibson wanted Oksana Grigorieva's bodyguard, Kristian Herzog, murdered ... well, at least according to the uber-shady dude's last will and testament.
Radar Online found the document somehow, as well as emails Herzog - a twice-convicted felon who claims he put it to Oksana - sent her this fall.
"I fear that Mel Gibson may try and have me murdered," he wrote in the will.
Mustache MelOksana, Bodyguard
This just gets weirder by the day.
"I was told that my actions supporting Oksana Grigorieva have greatly disturbed Mel Gibson and he has made comments about having me killed."
Seriously, dude, murder? We all know Mel has anger issues up the wazoo, but you expect us to believe he wanted to TAKE YOUR LIFE? Please.
The murder-for-hire plot is the latest shocking charge from Kristian Herzog, who claimed he and Grigorieva were romantically involved this year.
He calls Grigorieva "my best friend in the world" in the will, in which leaves "100% of any and all that I own or control" to ... Oksana, obviously.
He also touted the reasons why the actor wanted him killed, namely that he had four mistresses who Kristian Herzog had been trying to expose.
"I am also the one that has been trying to get all of Mel Gibson's 4 other mistresses (NOT V.K.) and former staff to come forward and tell the truth about how Gibson assaulted and abused Oksana Grigorieva and her children," Herzog wrote.
V.K. was an apparent reference to Polish porn star Violet Kowal, who claimed she had a steamy three-month love affair with Gibson in Malibu.
That was right around the time of Mel's infamous blowout with Oksana in early 2010. Grigorieva has recently charged that Mel cheated on her.
Herzog also claimed he and Grigorieva felt her lawyers "were working in concert with Mel Gibson's attorneys and NOT looking out for [Oksana]."
He said: "Although I have NO plan to ever take my own life, I am writing this my last will and testament just in case Mel Gibson has me killed."

Sarah Palin Defends Dancing With the Stars Voting, Brushes Off "Haters"

With the judges' scores comprising half the total, Bristol Palin needs a surge of voter support to overcome Jennifer Grey's lead and win Dancing with the Stars.
Can she do it? Ask Audrina Patridge or Brandy if they doubt her fans' ability to pull her through. Bristol's march to the final week has been something to behold.
It's surprised some fans so much that there's been talk of vote-rigging, but her mother, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, dismisses all conspiracy theories.
Aww Shucks
“The producers of Dancing With the Stars are explaining over and over again, there’s no way to cheat the system,” Sarah said. “But the haters are going to hate."
"Bristol has said it best. Bristol has said, ‘Mom, it doesn’t matter what we do, we’re going to get criticized anyway, so we might as well just dance.” So, so true.
The mother of Bristol and Willow Palin said, “You’re right, honey, you might as well dance, fly, and soar and speak about issues that are important to this country."
"We might as well do it, and we’ll take that criticism, because we know that, at the end of the day, truly, being committed to a cause is worth it.”
What cause she's talking about is subject to interpretation, but how inspirational. Anyway, does Bristol Palin deserve to be in the DWTS finals?
