NeNe Leakes Continues to Milk Marital Problems for Every Last Drop of Publicity

NeNe Leakes wants fans to pray for her as she struggles through her marriage to Gregg.
She also wants them to keep giving her attention and sympathy as she milks the couple's relationship for every last drop of publicity.
Following an episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta that saw NeNe meet with a divorce lawyer because she was angry at Gregg for going off on her in a radio interview, Leakes now tells Essence she and her husband are "still together."

"We are in the same house and we are still legally married. But that's not to say we won't be unmarried," she said. "One day is good, the next day is bad."
NeNe says Gregg does not want a divorce, and she's afraid of going through with one herself:
"Gregg is my friend and he's been that for years. He's always been a great rock for me and I'm afraid that if we really break it off for good I won't have that rock."
Plus, she won't have anything to continually blog about. NeNe has already used up plastic surgery as a way to make headlines, what other reason aside from relationship drama does she have for being in the news?!?

Antoine Walker Sued For Ganking Fiancee

Former NBA star Antoine Walker is being sued a guy for $5 million.
The charge? That 'Toine stole his fiancee! He's accused of putting the moves on an engaged woman a few months ago, then laughing when dumped him.
Kevin Jenkins says he actually caught his fiancee having "an intimate moment" with Walker back in October and decided he would approach the pair.
Antoine Walker, Evelyn Lozada
That suit and ring have likely been repossessed.
At that point, "Mr. Walker taunted and laughed at Jenkins with the intent of causing him emotional distress." Jenkins says he became suicidal as a result.
Now, he wants Antoine to cough up that sum. Good luck with that, given Walker's very serious financial problems. Dude blew like $100 million bucks!
Oddly enough, Walker himself was engaged to Evelyn Lozada (above) before he went broke and she glommed on to Chad Ochocino instead. Go figure.

Octomom Told to Pay Up or GTFO By New Year's

The man who holds the note to Octomom's house is once again saying how he's fed up with her games, and now wants her to pay $450,000 by January 1.
Plus interest, natch.
Amer Haddadin says he's been more than understanding when Nadya Suleman fell behind in making her monthly payments, but, well, enough is enough.
Octo on the Move
Octomom can run, but she ... wait, she can run?
A $450,000 balloon payment has been looming over the mother of 14 for months ... it becomes due every time she falls behind on California mortgage payments.
Amer, who planned to publicly shame her the last time this happened, only to have her scrape together the cash last minute, says she's fallen behind once again.
Guy served Octomom's lawyer with a letter demanding Nads pay the full $450,000 balance plus interest by December 31 or get out of her La Habra home.
She scraped up the cash last time somehow ... can she do it again?!?

Gosselin Kids Tell Classmates Santa Doesn't Exist; Jon and Kate Receive Angry Phone Calls

First the rage issues and now this. They're just six years old, but the Gosselin kids are accused of playing Grinch and spoiling Christmas at school.
"The kids don't believe in Santa Claus, and they're telling other kids at school that there is no Santa Claus," a close friend of the family said.
Children as young as six were told that "your parents are lying to you," causing Kate and Jon Gosselin to receive calls from stunned parents.
Gosselin Kids
Just because Kate's hair is whack doesn't mean you have to out Santa.
"Jon has received angry phone calls from parents because the children actually told others that 'your parents are lying to you,'" the insider said.
Hey, at least the dude's got a job now ... cut him some slack.
Denying a report that two of her eight children were expelled from school, even though they were Kate this week admitted their anger issues.
The Kate Plus 8 star revealed that she and the school "mutually agreed" to take the pair out of school, and they're studying with a private tutor.
While no one's saying which of the Gosselin kids spilled the 'Santa secret', the confidant revealed that they were told to go along with it now.
"The kids are too smart at this point, but they are sweet about it and go along with it... and the Easter Bunny too," said the family source.
How festive. Wonder if they leave out moldy food for Santa.
Whether they believe in Santa or not, it won't be stop the gorgeous kids from having a Merry Christmas at both their mom and dad's homes.
"Kate gets even years and Jon gets odd years. So this year, Kate has the kids on Christmas Day and Jon will have them on Christmas Eve."
"The kids will probably also get to open presents on Christmas Eve if Jon's mother says that's the plan. His mom has the final word on that."
That explains so much.

Ashton Kutcher Threatens Legal Action Over Brittney Jones Sex Tape

Let's get one thing straight: Ashton Kutcher does NOT co-star in Brittney Jones Confidential, the sex tape his alleged mistress is set to release on December 14.
But that doesn't mean the actor is happy with the existence of the video, especially because Vivid Entertainment is referencing Kutcher and Jones' allegation in its marketing of the amateur adult movie.
Ashton Photo
Don't worry, Ashton. Brittney's film can't make you look any worse than Killers did.
In a Vivid press releasing touting the sex tape, the company writes "Ashton's fans will undoubtedly enjoy seeing what the star himself may have experienced."
Hilarious? Yes. Illegal because it uses the star's name to sell the porn? Probably, argues Kutcher's legal team.
In a letter sent to Vivid, Ashton's lawyers claim those behind the release are infringing on the actor's "marketable celebrity identity value." We're pretty sure he killed that himself with Killers, though.
These attorneys are threatening to take action unless Vivid stops using their client's name in association with Brittney Jones.

Bristol Palin: The Worst Person in the World!

Bristol Palin is not really the Worst Person in the World, but she did earn the top spot in Keith Olbermann's nightly Countdown segment by that name.
The MSNBC host called out the DWTS finalist and daughter of Sarah Palin for her recent PSA with The Situation promoting safe sex and abstinence.
Olberman likened it to someone saying George W. Bush “kept us safe, ‘cept for that 9/11 thing, which doesn’t count.” Ouch. Here's the segment ...

Bristol: The Worst Person in the World!
Bristol responded on Facebook that calling her a hypocrite is an “old canard” and ripped Olbermann for being unoriginal in his “insincere incredulity.”
Think Sarah knows what those words mean? Nice refudiation in any case, B.
Not sure if he needed to go there with the 9/11 line, because all things Bristol are hilariously absurd on its their own merit, but that's Keith for you.
On a side note, Fox News really cited an Onion article as actual news? That's the journalistic equivalent of a Bristol Palin abstinence PSA for you.

In Hard Times, Heidi Montag Must Defend Herself

Short on cash to pay for security and worried about the dangers this world may throw at her, Heidi Montag is dedicating all her efforts to self-defense.
“I can’t afford security, so I practice self defense and chain punching,” she tells Radar Online, noting that she's learning martial arts to protect herself.
Although she used to have a posse of bodyguards on hand, as her breasts have ballooned, she and husband Spencer Pratt have fallen on lean times.
Gettin' it LOOSE
GETTING LIMBER: Heidi preps with some yoga. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
“I have spent millions in security in the last four years because I had to take care of the cost myself. It’s crazy and it’s hard, but life is not always fair."
Poor baby, blowing untold sums of money on wholly unnecessary things. Surely her plastic surgery obsession didn't factor into her financial woes at all.
“I've had to change my life. I can’t afford to go to the clubs anymore because the protection I need can cost anywhere from $5,000-$10,000 a night."
"When you travel it’s worst, you need to cover the guards' travel, food' lodging, etc., and pay them. All my money went there, safety is number one.”
Wait ... Heidi Montag requires that much security?
Does anyone care enough to hurt her? Or even know who she is anymore? Oh, the petite blond with the fake chest, nose, ass ... none of those in L.A.

Britney Spears' Rep Denies Jason Trawick Abuse Story, Alleged Tape Recording in Statement

Britney Spears' Rep Denies Jason Trawick Abuse Story, Alleged Tape Recording in Statement

As you've probably heard, Britney Spears has been hit with serious allegations from Star and Radar Online, both of which claim the star's boyfriend abused her.
Britney purportedly called her ex-husband, Jason Alexander, to tell him about a beating she suffered at the hands of Jason Trawick. He has a recording of this.
Now, both Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, and Trawick himself have strongly denied the allegations in a statement issued wide and posted on Britney’s site.
Jason Trawick and Britney Picture
The statement by Spears' reps reads as follows:
“Every aspect of the story published by Star Magazine is completely and utterly false and Star Magazine was informed of the falsity before it was published.”
“The statements attributed to Jason Alexander are a complete fabrication as Britney has not had any form of communication with Mr. Alexander in years."
"The audio recording posted on Radar Online purporting to be between Britney Spears and Jason Alexander is so obviously fake as to be laughable."
"Suffice it to say, that Jason Trawick has never laid a hand on Britney."
"This is just another example of the irresponsible nature of the tabloid media relying on shoddy sources and false information for the sole purpose of selling magazines, without regard to the truth and without regard to who they hurt in the process."
"These irresponsible statements are defamatory and Britney Spears’ legal team will be taking legal action against all of the appropriate parties.”
Earlier in the day, Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush also spoke with Jason Trawick directly, who said the assault allegations came out of nowhere.
Trawick told Bush that he’s been busy arranging a charity screening of Secretariat for some children in the Valley and prepping for Spears’ birthday on Thursday. He added that the voice on the recording, posted on Radar, was clearly not Brit’s.
When contacted by Access Hollywood earlier on Wednesday, David Perel, Executive Vice President of Radar Online, claimed that the recording was “100 percent verified” and a rep for Star responded that, “Star stands by its story.”
Hey, what do they have to lose at this point?
In other news, happy birthday Britney!!!

Taylor Swift Named EW Entertainer of the Year

Talk about an impressive feat: Taylor Swift has been named Entertainer of the Year... for the second consecutive time!
Following the Associated Press honoring the singer with this distinction in 2009, Entertainment Weekly has done the same for 2010.
EW Entertainer of the Year
What has Taylor done to earn this title from EW? Only begin the year with a number-two single debut (“Today Was a Fairytale”), a hit movie (Valentine’s Day), and a quartet Grammy wins, including Album of the Year.
She also headlined a series of arena concerts and sold over one million copies of the album "Speak Now."
Swift also created a stir for supposedly penning songs about ex-boyfriends such as Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas, and John Mayer.  Her response to that talk?
“Sometimes I would laugh because I would see it in print and it would say, ‘This song, which is written about her ex, so-and-so…’ And they would write about it as if it was fact. The fact is, I haven’t ever confirmed that any song is about any particular person."
Among other Entertainers of the Year, as shown on various covers below? Rico Rodriguez, Jane Lynch and Jon Hamm.

Angelina Jolie Hits Back at Sarajevo Haters

Angelina Jolie paused from plugging her new film with Johnny Depp (watch The Tourist trailer) to hit back at critics of her upcoming directorial debut.
The Oscar winner lashed out at the Bosnian haters who have called her ignorant and sought to block her from shooting her film in the country.
"There's one person who has a gripe. The majority of the population, the cast, the president, have been extremely supportive," Jolie said in Paris.
Beautiful Ange
A number of people were upset after hearing the still-untitled film's plot dealt with a Bosnian Muslim woman who falls in love with her Serbian soldier rapist.
The storyline from the film set during the 1990s war turned out to be a rumor, and a false one at that, but their protests were enough to spark controversy.
The outcry even prompted officials to cancel the star's film permit, citing insufficient paperwork, only to reissue in days later. But has she already moved on?
As a result, producers of Jolie's untitled drama kept shooting in Sarajevo to a minimum, instead opting to shoot a key scene in Budapest, Hungary.
Jolie defends the film, noting that 95 percent of those in the cast had lived through the war. She said she wanted to tell this story due to her anguish over the fact that the international community was so reticent to try and stop the war.
"I wanted to learn more about it and the people, the more I read and learned I was drawn to that part of the world," Jolie said. "I met artists from that part of the world and found they were extraordinary for what they'd gone through.
"I wanted to give them a platform."
The Mighty Heart star and U.N. goodwill ambassador previous said she would meet with some the Bosnian critics, but  no date has been announced.

Evelyn Lozada on Chad Ochocinco Engagement: YAY!

Evelyn Lozada may star on Basketball Wives - returning to VH1 with new episodes on December 12!!! - but this reality star has never actually been wife.
She can't wait for that to change, however, as she gushed to People this week over her engagement to NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.
"He gets who I am, supports my dreams and loves me unconditionally," she told the magazine. "I just knew he was the one from me."
Evelyn Lozada Pic
While a source claims "Evelyn has been dying to have kids and is looking forward to starting a family with Ocho," the impending football wife didn't touch on that subject here.
Instead, she simply said: "I couldn't be happier with my engagement to Chad. Our friendship is true love and respect and is unlike anything that I have ever experienced." 
What truly beautiful words. We wish Chad and Evelyn and their six-month marriage all the best.

THG Asks: Should Lindsay Lohan Appear on Dancing With the Stars?

Welcome to THG's new feature, in which two of our celebrity gossip experts debate topical issues in the entertainment world and you decide who wrote the winning argument!
Today, THG Asks: Should Lindsay Lohan Appear on Dancing With the Stars?
YES by Free Britney
Dancing With the Stars has resurrected careers for years. With Lindsay Lohan, they'd not only have a buzz-worthy star, but a lock for the redemption angle.
When I heard DWTS was courting LiLo, I was skeptical. Is she ready for the spotlight so soon, I wondered. But what better start to her post-rehab life?
This is a girl once known for family-friendly projects. Now that she's really turning a corner in her troubled life, she can endear herself to 20 million people.
Whether it's fans' first look at Lohan 2.0, or a welcome comeback by the adorable Parent Trap star, she can actually dance, giving her a leg up on Bristol!
The Dance
NO by Hilton Hater
Lindsay Lohan should not go Dancing with the Stars for one reason: she'd win in a landslide. Seriously, check out "Jingle Bell Rock" choreography in Mean Girls.
But even more seriously: DWTS is viewed by over 20 million people a week. While the resumes of its "Stars" may often be thin, at least these contestants are known for SOMEthing in their professional field. (Okay, except Bristol Palin.)
Sadly, Lindsay isn't known as anything but a train wreck at this point. The acting boat sailed about two drug arrests ago. How would ABC even describe her? Lindsay Lohan, Professional Rehabber? Not an example such a popular show should set.
THG Asks you ... should Lindsay go on DWTS? Who made the winning case?

A Tax Evader
All attempts by Snipes and his attorneys to overturn his 2008 conviction failed, as prosecutors allege the actor did not pay any taxes on the reported $38 million he earned from 1999 on.
"The Defendant Snipes had a fair trial... The time has come for the judgment to be enforced," wrote U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges.
Indeed, for Snipes, it's time to get off the Money Train.
