Dancing With the Stars Really Wants Lindsay Lohan!

We're reported the rumor already, but it looks like Lindsay Lohan is really in talks to be a contestant on the hit show Dancing With the Stars.
After what seemed like endless legal problems that landed her in jail and rehab, the ABC hit wants to give LiLo a chance to rehab her image.
“Lindsay has been talking with the DWTS people,” a source close to her said. “She is definitely interested and considering being on the show.”
Beautiful Redhead
We may see Lindsay Lohan bust a move!
While the troubled star remains in rehab at the Betty Ford Center, she has the full support of her treatment team behind her for this gig.
"Lindsay's treatment team actually thinks that Dancing With the Stars would be a perfect transition back to work for her," says the insider.
"She would have a set schedule, she would be occupied and would be very productive. Lindsay wanted their approval before proceeding."
She got it, too - it's a far cry from Lindsay Lohan nude in Inferno - and it could be a good fit. DWTS producers have wanted her for a while.
"Dancing with the Stars producers have had Lindsay on their wish list of cast mates for a very long time,” a source tells Radar Online.
Not only would she generate a lot of buzz (a la Kate Gosselin and Bristol Palin), Lindsay would actually be a tough contender as well!
Says a source close to the negotiations: “She would be great on the show; she could maybe even win because she is a great dancer!”
Our two editors debated whether she should do DWTS recently.
This celebrity gossip expert said yes, it would be the perfect route back. His counterpart said no, she needs more time to recuperate.

Lady Gaga Wax Figures: Revealed!

Witnesses Describe Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as "A Couple in Love"

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart did not just get married.
But they did just get outed as a couple once again, as multiple sources relayed stories this week about the pair not shying away from public displays of affection while filming Breaking Dawn in Louisiana.

Regarding a cast dinner at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, an onlooker told People:
"There was a lot of hand-holding, sitting next to each other. Everyone was talking around the room, but Kristen and Rob were just talking to each other, not really into the conversations everyone else was having."
At a karaoke bar named Cadillac Café, meanwhile, witnesses said Rob and Kristen "weren't slobbering all over each other," but:
"They sure looked like a couple and were talking with each other like a couple. They [seem like] a couple in love."
And they aren't the only ones! With the Twilight Saga cast shooting in Baton Rouge, Joe Jonas has been spotted all around the area with Ashley Greene.
An employee at Fred's Bar, for example said these two have shown up "a couple of times" to listen to bands: "They were definitely together, holding hands," the source says. "A few people recognized them, they were pretty cool."

Jon Gosselin Loving Life as "Regular Guy"

Jon Gosselin is loving his newfound "normalcy," or whatever you'd call his version of it. As we reported last week, he just got a regular job - one he loves.
"On his first day of work, he just loved it. He felt weird that everyone knew who he was. But they didn't talk about it, it's a trust issue," a source said.
His gig is in his pre-TLC field: "The job is IT-based online marketing. He solves problems, teaches people to solve their problems. He really enjoys it."
A J.G. Pic
JOE SCHMOE: Jon Gosselin is relishing his new role.
A source says that while Jon is often recognized by clients, most folks are now accepting him for who he is as he's "trying to start his life again."
"He lost everything. There were so many things he had to face because not a lot of people in the world who could relate to what he was facing."
"He had eight kids at 27-years-old.  He was on a reality show, he was in the tabloids and he got divorced. It was a lot to deal with all at once."
"He did a lot of stupid things."
That he did. Amazingly, it looks like those days are - dare we say it - starting to fade, with a regular life and the right priorities in their place?

Kardashian Konfidential Sits on NY Times Best Sellers List, Apocalypse Approaches

We give up.
We've tried to point out the obvious flaws in Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian (namely: an utter lack of talent), we've cited the latter's publicity-based relationships, we've questioned why the topic of spreading mayonnaise on one's vagina makes for talk show foder.
But none of it matters. For reasons that defy comprehension, Kardashian Konfidential - the memoir that delivers such fascinating tidbits as Kourtney uses pink dish gloves - currently sits at number-four on New York Times Best Sellers List. To anyone who purchased it, we have a simple question:
WHY?

The Bachelor kicks off its new season, and its second starring Brad Womack, on January 3, but we have a deluge of spoilers for you right here, right now.
Including the winner, already. Yes, the winner.
We don't relish the idea of divulging this information, but this is THG. It's what we do. You have the opportunity to exit this article right now. Still here?
Nice. So who gets engaged to Brad Womack?
Bachelor Brad 2.0
For that piece of information and everything that happens between The Bachelor season premiere and the final rose ceremony, follow the jump ...
Somehow, the great Reality Steve has unearthed all this info, and the man is never wrong. Well, almost never. We don't doubt him in this case, anyway.
His site actually has much more information than we've posted here, but this is everything important. Here are the 20 girls who survive the premiere:
  1. Alli Travis: 24, buyer for Abercrombie & Fitch, lives in Ohio.
  2. Ashley Hebert: 25, Madawaska, Maine. A longtime ex boyfriend died right before she came on the show. Currently attending dental school.
  3. Ashley Spivey: 25, nanny from NY, gets the first impression rose, father died two years ago, which is probably going to be her story line.
  4. Britt Billmaier: 24 or 25, Seattle, WA. Stanford grad, is a chef.
  5. Chantal O’Brien: 28, Mercer Island, WA. Chantal is the daughter of Mike O’Brien, former Seattle Seahawks star. Married from 2005-2009.
  6. Emily Maynard: 24, Charlotte, N.C.. Mother of daughter Ricki, whose dad is NASCAR's Ricky Hendrick, who died while Emily was pregnant.
  7. Jackie Gordon: 27 or 28, from Rhode Island, currently lives in New York City. Works with special needs kids on Upper West Side.
  8. Keltie Colleen: Age unknown. Originally from Alberta, Canada.
  9. Kim Coon: 25, a marketing coordinator in Charlotte, N.C.
  10. Lindsay Hill: 25, Frisco, Tx. Was a 1st grade teacher.
  11. Lisa Morrisey: 24, Lives in Kansas City.
  12. Madison Garton: Age? Lives in New York City.
  13. Marissa May: 26, Works for SUN Sports/FOX Sports Florida.

  19. Shawntel Newton 24, Chico, Calif. She’s a mortician. Works as an enbalmer and funeral director at their family owned funeral parlor.
  20. Stacey Queripel: Bartender at Splash Lounge and Burger Bar in Boston.
Here are the hometown dates in order of filming:
  • Emily Maynard (Charlotte, NC).
  • Chantal O’Brien (Mercer Island, WA).
  • Shawntel Newton (Chico, CA).
  • Ashley Hebert (Madawaska, ME).
Shawntel Newton is eliminated at the rose ceremony.
The overnight dates in South Africa play out with no dramatic exits for anyone, and the eventual elimination of Ashley Hebert. Sorry Ash.
The season finale, therefore, pits Emily Maynard against Chantal O’Brien, and ultimately, Brad Womack chooses ... Chantal O’Brien.
Chantal O'Brien Pic
They're still together, too. On Thanksgiving, Brad was in Palm Desert, Calif., with Chantal O'Brien and her family celebrating Thanksgiving.
Fun footnote: Chantal is the girl who bitch-slaps him the first night as she steps out of the limo who slaps Brad, as seen in the previews!
Well choreographed, ABC!
That's all for now. More details to come as they become available and as the episodes air! We'll update this page frequently all season ...

Kumari Fulbright Sentenced to Prison for Torture of Ex-Boyfriend

We shudder to think what a talent competition would be like in prison...
Kumari Fulbright, an Arizona beauty queen who was arrested in late 2007 and charged with the brutal kidnapping and torturing of an ex-boyfriend, has been sentence to two years in jail.
Kumari Fulbright Photo
Along with three other men, Fulbright - a former Miss Arizona contestant and law school student - was apprehended three years ago for taking Joshua Conway hostage, holding him at gunpoint and slashing him with a knife.
In addition to her sentence, Fulbright was ordered to pay Conway $15,000, which really should make up for everything.
We will punish her further by directing readers to this truly amazing mug shot of Kumari. It says it all.

Marisa Miller: Nude for Skin Cancer Awareness Campaign

On one hand, we'd be thrilled if no one ever contracted skin cancer ever again.
On the other, those that have come down with this disease have contributed to a need for others to screen for it... which has contributed to Marc Jacob's new awareness campaign, Protect the Skin You're In... which has led to the following photo of Marisa Miller nude.
So you can see why we're torn on this issue.
The image below of of this Victoria's Secret model in nothing but sneakers will appear on T-shirts and be available at Marc Jacobs boutiques in the near future, with all proceeds going to the NYU Cancer Institute.

Although it didn't benefit any important causes, Miller is also responsible for what may be the hottest photo ever taken. View it NOW.

Brian David Mitchell, Uber-Creepy Elizabeth Smart Kidnapper, Found Guilty in Federal Court

Brian David Mitchell was convicted of kidnapping Elizabeth Smart.
Seven years after he abducted Smart now 23, from her Utah bedroom and subjected her to a terrifying nine-month ordeal, a jury rendered a guilty verdict on charges of kidnapping and transporting a child across state lines for sexual purposes.
He faces a possible life sentence. That might not be long enough ...
Brian David Mitchell Picture
AHHH! Scared yet? Luckily for all of us, Brian David Mitchell is off to prison.
Jury deliberations began after a month of testimony, including several days on the witness stand for Smart, who calmly recounted how Mitchell raped her daily.
Mitchell was singing "The Great Redeemer Died," as he often does, and didn't stop singing when the verdict was read aloud, showing no visible emotion either.
Elizabeth Smart, 23, took her seat next to her parents, Ed and Lois, and her sister, Mary Katherine. After the verdict was read, a look of triumph was shared.
Mitchell's accomplice, Wanda Barzee, who pleaded guilty to kidnapping last year, is serving a 15-year sentence in a federal facility already. Good riddance.

Taylor Momsen: A Promoter of Masturbation

Don't look at us. She said it. And because Taylor Momsen is so edgy and cool, she can talk about masturbating a lot and it makes her awesome. Deal.
In an interview with The Guardian (UK), Taylor said unequivocally that “I’m a promoter of masturbation. Don’t sleep around ... learn yourself first!"
"Guys do, but girls don’t. And that’s why girls have so many bad experiences. But you can know your body, know yourself, know what feels good."
Stroke It
PLEASURE YOURSELF, KIDS: Seriously, the Gossip Girl star says it's cool!
"You don’t have to give yourself away just to have sexual relevance," she adds.
"I don’t think sex is something people should be afraid of. It’s part of human nature. I don’t think it should be shameful, particularly for girls and young girls.”
The Pretty Reckless singer may look back on this and wish she'd shut her yap (that or she'll blame her parents like usual), but doesn't make a terrible point.
Hold out, don't put out, girls. There are alternatives that don't talk back.

Evelyn Lozada Wants At Least One Ochocinco

Evelyn Lozada has a 10-carat ring on her finger and an 85 on her arm. But there's another number she's focused on in the wake of her engagement to Chad Ochocinco: One.
That's how many children she's hoping to have with this wide receiver, at least for now.
"I definitely want an Ochocinco," Lozada tells Latina Magazine. "I don't know if I want cinco, but I want an Ochocinco. I have a daughter; she's 17 and she's about to go to college. I still have the desire to be a mother and I did such a great job with her that I'm like, 'Let me do this again.' I would love to have a boy."
Future Football Wife
With Basketball Wives returning to VH1 this Sunday - yes, she's still on it, despite being engaged to a football player; you do the math - Evelyn touched on a number of other topics with the publication, as well.
Will the couple star on their own reality show? We’ve talked about it and I don’t know. I always hear that when you do a reality show with your fiancé or your husband, it’s like a curse! [Laughs] But I’m not opposed. If any good offers come through, we’ll see.
Is a wedding date set? My show is about to air and Chad’s been playing football (and Lord knows he’s been having a rough season) so once all of that is done we’ll be able to focus on the wedding. We haven’t decided on a date yet. We’re leaning towards either having the wedding in Miami or a destination wedding. I don’t want anything too big. I’m turning 35 and I want something intimate with my family and friends.
What about the dress? I’m not really the ball gown kind of chick. I want something sexy - kind of like a see-through sexy mermaid style on top.
Wow. Who could have seen that coming?

Miley Cyrus was Caught Smoking What?!?

The video of Miley Cyrus smoking a bong at her birthday party last month has raised many questions among her fans and critics. Is this proper behavior? What idiotic friend filmed this act?
And what the heck if salvia?
Indeed, the substance Miley inhales on camera is an herb that is legal to possess in California. However, it has been listed as a "drug of concern" by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
Partying Singer
It looks like this friend of Miley Cyrus has already had a hit or two of salvia, doesn't it?
Here is what else the DEA has to say about salvia:
  • It's typically smoked to "evoke hallucinogenic effects."
  • These effects "include perceptions of bright lights, vivid colors and shapes, as well as body movements and body or object distortions."
  • Physical manifestations include: uncontrolled laughter, lack of coordination, dizziness, slurred speech.
  • The agency is "looking into the drug" to determine whether or not it should be considered "on par" with LSD and heroin.
  • It is not considered to be addictive.

Amber Portwood and Baby Leah: Reunited and it Feels Kind of Scary For Most of Us!

Amber Portwood is back together with Leah, her baby daughter, after a brief period of estrangement courtesy of the State of Indiana. Being reunited feels so good ... for them. Teen Mom fans and Gary Shirley are probably very worried.
They look happy here, at least ...
Amber Portwood and Leah PictureAmber Portwood and Leah Photo
POOR LEAH: Not only is her mom crazy, but leopard print? Really?!
In October, Child Protective Services decided Leah should live temporarily with dad Gary Shirley, Amber Portwood's ex-fiance and frequent beating victim.
Gary's new girlfriend better watch her back too. Just saying. Careful.
But Amber Portwood is now in therapy and. despite facing felony battery charges for attacking Gary in an episode that aired on MTV, deemed fit for Leah.
She's also got a brand-new three-bedroom home in Anderson, and "is so excited to have Leah back," a source tells Us. "She has a bedroom all set up."
The county jail has a cell set up for her too, we heard. Just in case.

Celebrity of the Year Finalist #8: Lindsay Lohan

With 2010 drawing to a close, it is with much pride that THG unveils its 10 finalists for its prestigious, Fourth Annual Celebrity of the Year award.
These stars all gave us their best, their worst, their nude pics (sometimes) and their scandals (often). This month, THG honors that greatness.
Following the revolting but necessary inclusion of Danielle Staub at #9, we present Celebrity of the Year finalist #8 ... Lindsay Lohan!
Cracked Out Mess
Lindsay Lohan's default expression throughout most of 2010.
The past year was a wreckalicious one for Lindsay Lohan, who used to be an actress at one point. These days, she's known mostly for ... being a disaster.
Still, the fact that she defied death and appears to be on the right track at last - she's been in rehab for months with no end in sight - is worthy of props!
If you searched for "Lindsay Lohan jailed" from mid-July on, chances are you'd find a THG story. She was locked up this summer for a probation violation.
She was then spring, entered rehab, left rehab, failed a drug test, had a warrant issued for her arrest, was briefly jailed and then ordered to rehab again.
Through it all, she feuded with her family, was dumped by various partners and producers, stayed out late a lot and pushed her frail body to the limit.
She posed nude for more random magazines than we can even recall, stayed up very late, was a terrible influence to her sister and made excuses a lot.
We're so glad she's still with us and hope that one day soon, she can get back to entertaining more than just celebrity gossip websites (thanks, though).
Dancing With the Stars is reportedly a'callin' and we hope she can answer the bell. It could be her ticket back to success like it has been for others.
In honor of this THG fave, all she's provided us and all the hopes we're pinning on her for next year, here's a look at some Lindsay photos from 2010 ...

Billy Ray Reacts to Miley Cyrus Bong Hit

Like the rest of the world, Billy Ray Cyrus found out today about his daughter's use of a bong during her 18th birthday party.
Taking his thoughts to Twitter - because all fathers should be concerned about their public reputations over any sense of privacy or decorum - Billy Ray seemed to lay some of the blame at the feet of his ex-wife.
He and Tish are going through divorce proceedings right now, which Billy Ray clearly references in his response to Miley's actions:

Cate Edwards: Engaged to Trevor Upham!

In the final days before Elizabeth Edwards' death, daughter Cate gave her mother the happiest of news: She was engaged to longtime sweetheart Trevor Upham.
The couple, who met as students at Princeton, got engaged over Thanksgiving after spending the holiday at the Edwards family's Chapel Hill, N.C., home.
"Elizabeth was thrilled," a close friend told People.
Elizabeth and Cate Edwards

Elizabeth Edwards' funeral is today. Cate Edwards, 28, is expected to deliver a eulogy and Trevor Upham, a physician, will serve as one of the pallbearers.
Upham has said that Cate, an anti-discrimination lawyer in D.C., and her mother (also a lawyer) were alike in many ways: "They have the same quirks."
"They like the same things. I think they even hold their phones the same way."
Congratulations to Cate on this wonderful news, which surely made her mother thrilled and proud even in the circumstances of these past couple of weeks.

Happy Birthday, Hank Baskett IV!

Hank Baskett IV turns a year old today, and the little guy really needs your best wishes.
This is a toddler whose dad continues to be cut by professional football teams and whose mother is so desperate for attention that she'll mislead the public about a miscarriage. Pretty tragic stuff.
Hank, of course, is just the innocent, adorable bystander in all of this. He's not even aware of how his mother is exploiting him on tabloid covers such as the ones shown here. He probably thinks the cameramen are his relatives.
Poor guy. Happy birthday, buddy.

Fans Irate Over Michael Jackson Autopsy Special

Michael Jackson fans are not pleased with the idea of the late King of Pop's autopsy being reenacted on TV, calling the concept an "affront to human dignity."
