THG Presents: The 10 Biggest Turkeys of 2010

Happy Thanksgiving to all from The Hollywood Gossip!
What would this holiday be without family, food, football and reflection upon the things we appreciate most ... in the case of THG, that means some of the bird-brained celebs we've had the privilege of covering in the past year.
Without further ado, THG's Top 10 Turkeys of '10 ...
Spencer Pratt Turkey
We may rename this the Spencer Pratt Thanksgiving Turkey Award.
10. Barack Obama. The good will and immense popularity enjoyed by the President at the start of his White House term eroded fast, leaving in its wake a deeply polarized electorate and a Congress destined for partisan gridlock.

9. Jake Pavelka. Lame stints on The Bachelorette, The Bachelor and DWTS were enough to overcook this turkey, but his televised breakup special with fake fiancee Vienna Girardi was the year's reality TV douchepocalypse.
8. The Kardashians. Sure, they're harmless, but there's so darn many of these girls. Mix in a hearty helping of Scott Disick and we're just burned out.
7. LeBron James. The NBA's best player, who has never won a title, made this summer all about him and his decision on where to play next year. A "decision" that marked the most absurd, narcissistic, self-serving stunts in sports history.
6. Spencer Pratt. He's fallen off from 2008's Top Turkey status, but he's got staying power. Faking a divorce, getting married for a third time in as many years, blowing through $10 million and turning into a mountain man? Impressive.
5. Dancing With the Stars voters. Bristol Palin? Seriously people?
4. Lindsay Lohan. The definition of train wreck. Second only to ...
3. Charlie Sheen. His violent altercation with wife Brooke Mueller last Christmas combined with Capri Anderson dalliances this fall? Quite a year for Charlie.
2. Mel Gibson. Why? Just listen to his rants. Wow.
1. Tiger Woods. Today, or more accurately early tomorrow morning, is the anniversary of Tiger's car (and image) crash, following a blowout with Elin Nordegren, who learned of his affair with Rachel Uchitel and took a 9-iron to his face.
The months that followed revealed additional mistresses, worried voicemails, nasty text messages, sordid fantasies, ridiculous rumors and bad golf. It's a scandal that may never be equaled, and certainly worthy of Top Turkey billing.

Dramatic Tiger Picture
If nothing else ... Tiger Woods' Thanksgiving can't be worse than last year's.

Michael Lohan: Lindsay Wasn't Fired, She Quit!

Michael Lohan is slamming the director of Inferno, Matthew Wilder, for lying about firing Lindsay from the lead role in his upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic.
Celebuzz talked to Michael who claims that, in no uncertain terms, "Lindsay left Inferno. Wilder can shove it up his butt. She didn't want to do that movie."
"He's full of it. He was trying to ride our coattails."
Begging For it
ADVENTURES OF MILO: Today's task? Defend daughter's name!
Lindsay Lohan's highly-anticipated lead role in Inferno had been in limbo after failing drug tests, spending a few weeks in jail and landing in rehab indefinitely.
This caused shooting to be delayed, at which point Wilder said he let Lohan go and replaced her with Malin Akerman. It made sense ... but MiLo's crying foul.
"She doesn't need to do a movie like that," Michael Lohan said. "Give me a break. What a great thing to do for a girl that's going through recovery."
"Put her in a position to act in a position where she's a drug addict. Real genius, and he cares, right? Come on. Biggest hypocrite on the planet."
"If he wants to say he fired my daughter, let him say to to my face."
Your move, Wilder.

Ke$ha Ain't Going Nowhere!

She doesn't have the best singing voice around - as evidenced by this AMA performance - but Ke$ha has a message for critics in the latest issue of Complex: She ain't going nowhere!
And while she's sticking around the music business, she might as well do so on roller skates...
Ke$ha in Complex
In an interview with Complex, Ke$ha touches on everything from being turned on by pocket change to being compared to Lady Gaga. Read a few excerpts below:
What turns you on that people would find bizarre?
A bag full of quarters.
Is there a specific type of beard that you're into?
I like the rugged, mountain-man beard, personally. I won't discriminate, but my favorite kind of beard is one that could potentially be a homeless beard. Like, you actually have to discover if they're un-groomed for a reason. I like a really unkempt beard.
Are you tired of the comparisons people draw between you, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry?
I actually think that's cool. Out of that group of chicks, I'm the new bitch on the block, so I'm still getting used to being compared to some of the biggest pop stars in the world, but I don't take any offense to it. That just means people know my records.
It's Ke$ha!

Rihanna Wants (Male) Kids With Matt Kemp

Is Rihanna ready to settle down?
In the December issue of Interview, Kanye West interviews the singer, who is much happier these days, and hints that motherhood may be on the horizon.
"It could be a year from now," she said. Seriously?
Rihanna Interview Cover
MOTHER-TO-BE: Rihanna is, just not anytime soon ... probably.
Of course, "It could be 10 years from now. Whenever is right, I don't really plan the age," Rihanna tells the magazine. "I mean, I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I think about kids. Whenever the time is right, I'll just know."
This much is certain: the pop star has found a great match in L.A. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp in January, and wants an all-male household with him.
"If I had a girl, she'd probably be really rebellious," the singer laughs, alluding to her Good Girl Gone Bad ways. "She would be like a bundle of karma."
As for where she would raise her brood, Rihanna says she "would love to bring them up in Barbados," though her job may prevent that from happening.
"I can't live that far away from everything now, without kids," she explains. "I certainly couldn't raise kids and [have a career] with the schedule I have."
She's 22, fortunately, so she's got time.

Amber Portwood's Baby Now Indiana's Problem

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood's daughter is now a ward of the state of Indiana, meaning her guardianship is determined by a judge and government agency.
It's the latest, most dramatic development yet in the ongoing saga of the MTV star, whose troubled, often violent life has played out on the popular MTV show.
Portwood and former fiance Gary Shirley appeared in an Anderson, Ind., courtroom Tuesday for an emergency child placement hearing concerning Leah.
A. Portwood Picture
It's official. Indiana has wrested control of Leah from Amber.
As the Department of Child Services assesses Leah's living situation, Leah, 2, remains under the state's control, even though she is staying with Shirley.
The Indiana Department of Child Services also supervised Amber Portwood's most recent visit with Leah at Gary's house, taking place Tuesday after court.
Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley declined to comment outside court.
Gary and Amber, whose violent altercations (which are basically one-sided, with him taking the pounding) appeared extremely friendly toward each other.
DCS will monitor Amber's progress in the wake of her felony battery charges, and determine if Gary's home is suitable for Leah to remain in permanently.
DCS has been probing Leah's living situation at Shirley's house and asked for changes that Shirley will comply with, one source close to the matter said.
Under Indiana law, if a child is found to be a "child in need of services" (CHINS) the child then becomes a ward of the state, which happened in this case.
Portwood gave Leah to Shirley recently, believing the toddler would be better off with him right now, given the demons she's battling. It was for the best.
Hopefully Clinton Yunker is there to comfort her in this tough time.

Michael Brea: Charged with Gruesome Murder

Michael Brea has officially been charged with as gruesome a crime as one can commit.
The small-time actor was discovered inside his Brooklyn apartment yesterday morning, covered in blood, clutching a bible and standing near the bathroom where police found his 55-year old mother's dead body. Reports indicate Yannick Brea had severe cuts on her head, countering sources who originally claimed she was decapitated.
Police had to subdue Michael with a taser.
Michael Brea Photo
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told The Associated Press that officers found the 31-year old actor - who appeared in Step-Up 3D - "in a bedroom... with a 3-foot sword."
After undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at a Brooklyn hospital, Brea was arrested on charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
UPDATE: Neighbors tell The New York Daily News they heard Brea screaming at his mother "Sinner! Sinner! You never accepted Jesus!" around the time of the alleged attack.

Kate Gosselin Now Home-Schooling Troubled Kids

Jon and Kate Gosselin's troubled kids Collin and Alexis are reportedly "doing a lot better" since their surprising, recent expulsion from private school.
The six-year-olds were booted out of their Pennsylvania school and are currently being home-schooled by their famous (and controversial) mom.
Kate was forced to take over after Collin and Alexis' rage issues, including incidents of violence and bullying, continued to spiral out of control.
Collin and Alexis GosselinWire-Haired Man Goblin
BEFORE THE RAGE: Collin and Alexis is simpler times.
The expulsion was a wake-up call for Kate, who is working to get their behavioral issues under control and providea more structured environment at home.
"The two kids are doing a lot better. It seems like they are happier now that they are receiving more attention to meet their needs," a source told Radar.
"Both Collin and Alexis are happy they are enjoying spending more time with their mother and also with (their dog) Shoka now that he has returned."
Kate and Jon Gosselin are on the same page when it comes to Collin and Alexis' structure for schoolwork and are directly addressing behavioral issues.
Jon and Kate hope that the troubled pair can even return to the same school next year to rejoin their brothers and sisters if things keep improving.
The kids' issues sparked fresh criticism over whether living their lives on TLC TV shows is hurting their development and causing behavioral woes.
Jon certainly believes it does, pleading with Kate to end it.
TLC and Kate have no such intentions of pulling the plug.
They're putting their differences aside now, though: "Jon and Kate are working to share time with the kids at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's."

Lily Allen: Engaged to Sam Cooper?

Is Lily Allen engaged to her boyfriend, Sam Cooper?
That's the rumor going around, just weeks after tragically losing her baby six months into her pregnancy. Now magazine claims Cooper popped the question.
A friend of Allen's told the publication: "Everyone's so proud of Lily. She's made a list of how to get through what can only be described as a horrible tragedy."
Sam Cooper and Lily Allen
Engaged or not, Lily Allen and Sam Cooper sure are happy.
"This is the most awful situation in the world and she's aware that nothing can take away the hurt she feels at losing her and Sam's baby."
"Last week, Sam told Lily he can't live without her and wants to go ahead with the wedding plans. This has given her a major boost."
So are they getting married or not?
Allen, who was also admitted to the hospital with a blood condition shortly after losing her first child, has said that she needs "time to heal."
"He's been very supportive but he's hurting like hell as too, so they had a long heart-to-heart and have planned a holiday somewhere quiet."
They added: "Lily's a fighter and says if she can get through this, she can get through anything." So basically, we have no clue if she is.
Either way, we wish the singer the best.

Kat Von D Loses Cat, Home in Fire

Kat Von D's life just went up in smoke.
The outspoken tattoo artist is mourning the loss of her cat Valentine, whom she lost in a house fire. "R.I.P. my little Valentine," she tweeted Sunday.
That's so sad, not to mention scary. The L.A. Fire department was called and arrived at 11:23 p.m. Sunday to battle what was a very strong blaze.
Kat Von D Fire
The cause of Kat Von D's house fire is still under investigation.
"Fire fighters encountered heavy fire with extreme smoke but they were able to knock down the fire," the captain said. "There was no one home."
"My house burned down last night with my cat inside," Von D, who has been dating Jesse James since August, explained early Monday morning.
"Finally get to sleep away the rest of today. Hope tomorrow is gentler," the L.A. Ink star said. "To gain everything, you must lose everything."
Good to see she's staying strong through this.

Angelina Jolie Will NOT Celebrate Thanksgiving!

Millions will delight in Thanksgiving festivities tomorrow. Angelina Jolie is not one of them, electing not to commemorate the genocide of Native Americans.
"Angelina Jolie absolutely hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans," a friend of the actress tells PopEater.
Valid point, but pumpkin pie just tastes so good ...
Thanksgiving Hater
NO THANKS-GIVING: Angelina Jolie is not a fan!
"To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn't her style," the friend says. "[Jolie] doesn't want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder."
Not sure how many of us toast to murder at the dinner table on this day, but she prefers to think of herself as a citizen of the world, not just America.
Always extremely sensitive to suffering throughout the world, she's going to great lengths to make sure the Jolie-Pitt brood doesn't honor it here.
"Angelina gets so grossed out by Thanksgiving that she has made sure her family will not be in America this year on Thursday," an insider reports.
While Brad Pitt recently told Extra, "We'll whip up a turkey somewhere," a family friend tells me, "If Brad wants turkey, he'll have to cook it himself."
Well, that would likely be the case whether they observe the day or not. Dude is so annoying when he eats, you know she makes him do the work.

Willow Palin Lambasts Media, Praises Bristol

Willow Palin is not happy with the media. Must run in the family.
A week after her big sister, Bristol Palin, apologized for Willow's use of a gay slur on Facebook, the 16-year-old spawn of Sarah is sounding off solo.
In a statement to E!, Willow goes off on Facebook haters, scandalous "lies" in Life & Style and Bristol's run to the Dancing With the Stars finale.
The Palins and Levi
Bristol, Sarah, Trig and Willow Palin with He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.
"Today I am focusing on a special event - Bristol and Mark [Ballas]'s appearance in the Dancing With the Stars finals. Nothing will take away how proud we are of Bristol and her grit and determination that got her this far," says Willow Palin.
Then her attention turned to the "ridiculous" reports, namely a Life & Style story painting the wild child as a crazy, vodka-chugging drug dealer.
"It is disappointing to see people claim they know me to sell stories," she said.
"As for people accusing me of being at a party over a year ago, the accusations are ridiculous. The same people saying this were also the ones attacking my family on Facebook. Unfortunately some people have learned that there are publications that will pay money for stories, no matter how misleading."
"Nevertheless, I recognize that my family has been given a great honor and privilege to make a difference in this country, and even though I am just 16, more is expected of me," she continues. "That being said, I say this to Bristol and Mark (with a hat tip to Lady Gaga) - Just Dance!"
Awwww.
Notice she left out the bit about slinging dope in a Target parking lot. Eh eh? Just kidding. We're sure that didn't happen. Actually we're not sure, it very well may have. But you can't trust anything that Life & Style says either.

David Arquette: One Wild and Craaaazy Guy!

David Arquette has not lost it, people.
The actor may have been out partying all of last weekend and may have placed some misguided phone calls to Howard Stern, but the recently-separated actor explained why during an appearance on Lopez Tonight yesterday: that's just who he is.
On Lopez Tonight
"I've always been a wild man," he told the host. "My nickname was 'David Good Times.' I like running around, having fun... I like meeting people. I did that privately for a long time because I wasn't ever going out. Now, I'm in the nightclub business. I'm going out."
The modest actor also said he didn't care at all about what tabloids wrote.
"I am a fun-loving, great person," Arquette said. "I refuse to let these magazines vilify me, make me a demon. I am one of the best people you'll ever meet."

Jennifer Grey Reflects on "Unbelievable" Dancing With the Stars Win

After having four neck surgeries and waging a fight against cancer, Jennifer Grey "didn't even think about winning" when Dancing With the Stars began.
When she was handed the Mirror Ball trophy Tuesday, the health woes the 50-year-old battled made it even sweeter. "This is so unbelievable," she said.
"I feel so grateful, so blessed, that I had this opportunity. I don't know that there's any experience that will ever be anything like this again."
Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough are this season's champions.
Grey's title was effectively sealed 10 minutes before the big reveal, when lightning rod finalist Bristol Palin was named the season's third-place finisher.
It came down to Jennifer and Kyle Massey, who she bested with two perfect scores Monday, and whose fan support wasn't expected to match Bristol's.
After weeks of debate about Palin's staying power thanks to an active fan base, in the end it was not quite enough to deny Jennifer what was hers.
Kyle Massey and partner Lacey Schwimmer knew it too.
"We didn't think we'd make it past the first week, so to make it to the finals and to place second behind Jennifer and Derek, who got perfect scores, means we were pretty close to perfection," Massey said after the show.
"Jennifer deserved to win. America got it right."
With partner Hough's help, Grey slowly made her way around the ballroom after the show to talk to the press with a ruptured disc in her lower back.
She sustained that Monday, and in between performances last night, Grey was in pain. An ice pack was strategically tucked into her dancing pants.
Grey credited her husband, actor Clark Gregg, and their 8-year-old daughter, Stella, for their undying support of her ballroom "immersion course."
"I've done nothing but sleep and take care of my injuries. They have been so amazing," says Grey. "My husband has been taking care of everything and my daughter has become so much more self-sufficient. It's been great for everyone."
"I found out my husband can cook!"
Sounds like a win-win to us!

Kanye West Goes on Insane Concert Rant, Possibly Compares Matt Lauer to Child Abuser

Kanye West is out of his mind.
The rapper went on a VINTAGE Kanye rant last night in his New York concert, going off on everything from Taylor Swift and George W. Bush to the Today show.
Of the VMA debacle, he said "If I wasn't drunk, I woulda been on stage longer," then accused Swift of milking it, saying she "rode and rode" the wave of publicity.
Kanye is Krazy
Regarding the former President, West said his post-Katrina criticism of George Bush was "a BLATANT truth" ... then lambasted the media for demonizing Bush.
He also brought up the Today show drama again, reiterating his belief that Matt Lauer sabotaged him and ran a clip from his Q&A with Kanye out of context:
"Matt Lauer's not a bad guy I'm sure, but if you're a child being abused by a parent ... or a girl being abused by your boyfriend ... the greatest win that you could ever have is for that person to hit you in public. You SEE! YOU SEE! I TOLD YOU!"

Bristol Palin's DWTS Secret Weapon: Prayer

Bristol Palin finished third on the Dancing with the Stars finale.
Considering the scrutiny and controversy she fought through - not to mention her lack of experience dancing - it's pretty darn impressive for the 20-year-old.
Her secret to overcoming all that adversity? Prayer.
Bristol and Ballas
Palin, who fell just short behind Kyle Massey and winner Jennifer Grey on last night's finale, drew ire from some fans for advancing despite relatively low scores.
"It is faith that got me through this, just praying all the time and just relying on God and knowing that He is on our side and we'll get through this," she said.
"Just persevere, have confidence, and be willing to go try new things," she said, asked what she'll take away from this. "I've grown so much as a person."

Police to Question Denise Richards Over Alleged Charlie Sheen Harrassment

Even in divorce, Denise Richards can't get away from the mayhem Charlie Sheen leaves in his drunken wake.
Because the actor's ex-wife was actually present at dinner on the night Sheen allegedly went ballistic and eventually threatened the life of Capri Anderson - the porn star has said Richards left when she saw the evening turning into a night of "floozies" - police have contacted the actress.
Richards was also sleeping in the Plaza Hotel room across from her ex when cops arrived on the scene. She reportedly entered at some point and could have spotted evidence to be used in an investigation.
DeniseTotally TRASHEDStripping Star
Two women, half a man.
Sources tell TMZ Denise plans to "fully cooperate."
Meanwhile, a police spokesman spoke to E! News and gave some background on just what the NYPD is looking into, based on charges Anderson has brought against her one-time date.
"She decided a month later the crime that was completed was harassment," the spokesman said. "She said he was shouting at her, knocking things off in the hotel room, acting irrational. She voluntarily locked herself in the bathroom and was not held against her will. She was not a victim of assault. She was not imprisoned in the hotel room."
Why didn't police initially investigate the events?
"When we responded, she didn't file a police report. She never said she felt in danger. Mr. Sheen voluntarily went to the hospital were he underwent a psychiatric evaluation."
Cops will also speak to Sheen about the incident at some point over the next couple days.
Perhaps an English teacher could do the same. This crazy dude needs serious grammar help!

Christy Martin, Boxing Legend, Accuses Husband of Shooting and Stabbing Her

Christy Martin is a boxing legend, the first female in her sport to cover Sports Illustrated. But now this brawler is truly in for the fight of her life...
... against both death and her husband.
Martin, who once appeared on the undercard of a Mike Tyson match, is recovering in a Florida hospital after being shot and stabbed yesterday.
While details are still coming in, TMZ reports the boxer stumbled out of her home after the incident, flagged down a car and was taken to get care by a passing motorist. Despite her injuries, Martin told authorities the man behind the attack was her 66-year-old husband and trainer, James Martin.
Police are now on the hunt for the man who made the mistake of thinking Christy Martin could be knocked out so easily.
