John Travolta is Gay, Carrie Fisher Says

John Travolta is gay and it's no secret - just ask Carrie Fisher.
Travolta has been followed by gay rumors and reports since the late 1980s, always denying them and often enlisting a team of lawyers to take action.
But Fisher, most famous for her iconic portrayals of Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, tells The Advocate that her old friend is ... well ...

Carrie and John go way back, but is she telling it like it is?
The Advocate asks: “I know you and Travolta go way back, so let’s get really blunt here: Does his (Travolta’s) legal team have any business demanding Gawker remove a recent post suggesting that he’s given (bleep) jobs?”
Her response: “Wow! I mean, my feeling about John has always been that we know and we don’t care. Look, I’m sorry he’s uncomfortable with it, that’s all I can say. It only draws more attention to it when you make that kind of legal fuss."
This isn't her first such comment about Travolta, either.
In a 2009 Advocate interview, Fisher lists among 10 Things Gay Men Should Know About Women that “We don’t really care that John Travolta is gay.”
Travolta was first publicly called gay by porn star Paul Barresi who gave an interview about an alleged gay relationship with Travolta in the 1980s.
He later recanted that story and subsequently said the story was true.
Other men have come forward alleging sexual contact with John, who recently became a father again, welcoming a son with wife Kelly Preston.
The latest of alleged Travolta paramours, Robert Randolph, recently came forward to tell the National Enquirer about the star's "secret gay life."
Randolph's new book has drawn heavy fire from Travolta’s legal team as the author alleges to have direct knowledge of Travolta's gay dalliances.
Do you think he's gay? Does it even matter?

Selena Gomez on Justin Bieber Breakfast Date: Just Pancakes!

When is breakfast at IHOP more than just a chance to catch up over some deliciously greasy fare? When it involves two of the world's most popular pop singers.
Indeed, the Internet has been buzzing over the supposed date Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber went on late last week, as the two were seen all cute and cozy at the aforementioned establishment.
Can we officially dub these two "Jelena?" Not exactly, Gomez says.
Pre-Performance PoseBieber at the Ball
"It was just pancakes! Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed to Us Weekly, adding in an interview with MTV: "Who doesn't like pancakes? We were both performing in the same place so we went and had pancakes together. That's all it is. All innocent."
Well... that's no fun.
Selena does admit that she's close to Bieber, but not in the way many have been believing.
"I love Justin. When he first started to come over from Canada his manager contacted me and he just said that he would like to meet me and he was just such a good kid... I feel like a big sister now, 'cause I want to protect him."

Kate Middleton: In Crisis!!!

Major intoxication. Public urination. And the embarrassing photos Great Britain's Royal Family does not want anyone to see.
All of these developments and more are teased in the latest issue of Life & Style, which we're confident is a completely reliable source when it comes to news on Kate Middleton and her relatives.
Kate in Crisis!
According to sources not remotely close to the family, pictures were taken of the Middleton family on April 15, 2009. They allegedly show Kate's brother, James, in an overly drunken state, headed for a London lounge named Raffles.
"He was so out of it, he shocked bystanders by urinating through a railing into a historic, private garden," an insider claims. "Kate was mortified and tried to keep people from taking his picture, but he didn't seem to care."
Expect these totally legitimate pictures to cause problems between Middleton and the Queen.
"Now that Kate is joining her family, those photos are more embarrassing than when they were originally taken," a Royal source tells the tabloid, adding that Elizabeth has told the pair to party in private:
"She's even asked William and Kate to cut down on their evenings out because she doesn't think it looks right for them to be partying so much during a recession."

Ke$ha Named Billboard Artist of the Year

It's hard to believe, but Ke$ha has only been part of the pop culture consciousness for a year.
This singer's first hit, "Tik Tok," hit number-one in January. It was then followed by three more smashes, as well as 1.1 million copies sold of the album "Animal." For these reasons and more, Billboard Magazine has named Ke$ha its Artist of the Year.

How does Ke$ha feel about this honor and her meteoric rise in general? She told the publication:

Think Ke$ha deserves this honor? Ponder that question as you check out a video of her and her friends covering a Rolling Stones classic below.

Robert Pattinson: The Next Eminem?

Yo, his name is Robert Pattinson and he here's to say: he once wanted to be a rapper in a major way...
If this whole acting thing doesn't work out, the Twilight Saga star recently told Monsters & Critics that his fallback career would be to make like a certain Grammy-nominated hip hop star.
"I was obsessed with Eminem when I was younger. When he first came out I was about 12 and fanatical about his Slim Shady CD. I think he's a genius," Rob said.
A Handsome Photo
Adding that he even gave his crew its own name (The Big Tub and the Tappy Cats), Pattinson said "most of my rhymes were stolen off other people." Maybe one day we can all listen to them. He says:
"I've got a whole collection of tapes of me rapping from when I was 13! I wanted to be a rapper so there are hundreds and hundreds of tapes. They're very amusing!"

Minaj's New Year's Eve party - hosted alongside Shayne Lamas' husband / The Dirty (dot) com founder Nik Richie - will go down at Mansion in Miami, Fla.
The club shelled out $50,000 on an all-pink decor - cotton candy, carpets, drapery, aerialists, dancers, light shows and Nicki-esque butt pads for the staff.

She may not be married to Drake, but she appears quite attached to that color scheme. Think she's got enough pink-themed props for this particular event?
Hey, when girls wanna hit it, you gotta play to the audience.

Lindsay Lohan: Don't Call Me Provocative!

She's been called a lot of names over the years, and understandably, Lindsay Lohan is not a fan of certain words used to describe her in the media.
Hilariously, the real button-pushing term for her is "provocative."
Seriously ... for her that's over the line. Sources say the actress is "beyond upset" that CNN dared use that unspeakable epithet to describe her.

Lindsay: Where's the love? [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
The news network's Showbiz Tonight listed LiLo among the most provocative stars of 2010 (she's also #8 in THG's Celebrity of the Year rankings).
Miley Cyrus, Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen also ranked high on the provocative scale, but Lady Gaga took the top prize. Not bad company really.
So either Lindsay is just pissed she lost to Lady Gaga or she has no idea what that word means. Because she's pretty provocative. See below:

THG Presents: Celebrity Mistresses of the Year!

Where would THG be without good cheating scandals? Sure, these women are trashy beyond belief, but boy do they keep things interesting with their sexting, locking themselves in closets, making up sex tape rumors and such.
We despise them. And applaud their efforts. Below are THG's esteemed finalists for the Rachel Uchitel Award as the top celebrity mistress of 2010 ...
Devon James: So SexyJoslyn James Pic
Two of Tiger Woods' more disgusting, entertaining mistresses.
Devon and Joslyn James. Yes, we know Tiger Woods' mistresses are soo 2009. But Devon James and Joslyn James (no blood relation, LOTS of sexual relations) simply refused to crawl back in the hole from whence they came.
Brittney Jones. Ashton Kutcher's alleged mistress is relentless. That much cannot be disputed. Every time her accusations are shot down, she comes up with even more ridiculous ones. Threesomes, sex tapes ... snuff films may be next.
Erin Barry. She may not be an actual mistress, but when you're sexting Tony Parker and that's why he gets divorced from Eva Longoria, you're on the list.
Jasmine Waltz. A star-stalking pro if ever there were one. At least she said that David Arquette was only mediocre in the sack, though. Props there.
Capri Anderson. The porn star/stripper/escort/whatever she is co-starred in Charlie Sheen's now-infamous hotel meltdown, and having witnessed this chapter of his downward spiral, promptly moved to cash in with a lawsuit.
He may countersue for extortion. $h!t happens when you're Charlie Sheen.
Capri PictureBombshell
Capri (left) and Bombshell. Neither needs a second name.
Michelle "Bombshell" McGee. Not only is she the year's trashiest, her scandal was the most shocking, breaking up Jesse James and Sandra Bullock.
Add on her very special way with words, her soft porn tendencies, all the tattoos and having the audacity to blab non-stop about James for months?
It's hard to see how anyone else could even compete. But you tell us, celebrity gossip junkies: Who was your favorite celebrity mistress of 2010?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Get Out of My Kool Aid!

On The Real Housewives of Atlanta this week, the women seemed more delusional than ever. And that's saying A LOT, we know.
Come along with our THG intern as she review the latest installment of this ridiculous Bravo series...
Delusion seemed to be wafting in the air this week in Atlanta!  Sheree went to see Ladyboy Lawrence after hours in his salon to get her hair done a la Diana Ross.  While getting coiffed she gets a call from The People Store, the premier talent agency in Atlanta, where she recently auditioned.
She's landed an agent.  She's also accepted a small part in a local play called "Child Support Man." Broadway, here she comes!
Making Like Diana Ross
Kim met with Mitchell, a choreographer Kandi set her up with, to rehearse her dance moves for her upcoming tour.  Kim claims to have 16 years of dance experience, but it's not apparent from the geriatric moves she's putting out on the floor. 
She also claims to be a better dancer than a singer.  With Kim's attention span the size of a flea's ass, how she even manages to put one leg in front of the other to walk is an accomplishment in itself.
Getting ready to finally mail out her wedding invitations, Cynthia chats with sister, Maloria, about how stressed life is becoming for her.  Not only because of the impending wedding but because 50-year-old Peter and Nene are just not getting along.
50-year-old Peter walks in and when confronted by Cynthia about his recent blow-up with Nene, claiming not to know what she's talking about.  Can it be that 50-year-old Peter is jealous of Cynthia's relationship with Nene?  Cynthia begs him to get along with Nene.  For the sake of everyone's sanity, listen to her Prickly Pete!
Dwight drops by Phaedra's to check out the baby, but more importantly to dish about Cynthia and Kim. Looking like a white-chocolate dipped Mad Hatter, Dwight informs Phaedra that not only did the due date of Aydan's arrival come into question again, but that her unborn child was referred to as an alien. 
Oh, that Dwight, full of nothing but bon mots and good cheer.  Phaedra wants to know why Cynthia is "all up in her Kool-Aid" and what exactly qualifies Kim to be called a "head nurse.  Stripping at the Cheetah House in costume certainly does not.  Rising above it all and refusing to respond to the criticism, Phaedra's too high class to bother with such nonsense.
Laser Zapping
Kandi stops by Sheree's to help her run lines for "Child Support Man" and they both end up relating to the play.  Kandi wonders how it is that Sheree got no child support from Bob Whitfield, while Sheree asks Kandi about her situation. 
Kandi thinks Sheree's going to do really well in the play, but informs Sheree that she won't be able to attend since she has prior committments.
Kim invites the ladies over to try out her new laser-sculpting "exercise" equipment. Why sweat your fat away when you can just laser it off while scarfing down a pizza and some chicken strips? 
Cynthia lures Nene to the kitchen with the premise of wanting to talk about the recent battle between 50-year-old Peter and Nene.  Nene wants no drama, but agrees to chat.  Cynthia lets Nene know she was just giving her space and meant no harm.  She gives Nene a candle and pulls out a "friend contract" for Nene to sign.  Single Black Female anyone?  Nene signs it, desperate to get away from Cynthia's insanity.
Sheree's stage debut in "Child Support Man" draws a big crowd at The Soul Factory. Hoping Nene and 50-year-old Peter can contain themselves, Sheree has noticed that Nene's a little flirty with 50-year-old Peter.  Maybe that tension between them is about something else? 
Nene and Phaedra are in the crowd, bored out of their minds, waiting for Sheree's appearance.  When she finally hits the stage, it's more like a cameo. Cynthia is not impressed judging by her "It's a long way from the chitlin circuit to Broadway" comment.  Amen.  But Sheree is ready for a standing ovation afterwards.  She's also ready to move into film.
NeNe Smoking
Phaedra confronts Cynthia after the play about the whole alien baby comment thing and Cynthia tells Phaedra to check her sources.  That damn Dwight... always stirring the pot! 
Meanwhile, 50-year-old Prickly Peter apologizes to Nene for his recent blow-up and explains that's he's just a little bothered by the constant phone calls between her and Cynthia.  It's called having a BFF, Prickly Pete.  Look into it.
Nene and Kim have lunch where they discuss Cynthia's "friend contract."  Kim thinks Cynthia's a loon and should focus on her upcoming marriage to Prickly Pete instead of worrying about Nene so much.  Could Cynthia possible be "into" Nene? 
Nene doesn't think so and, even if she was, Nene's strictly dickly.  Kim's shocked when Nene reveals she's okay with Gregg moving out if it comes to that and even more shocked when Nene says she's open to dating a white guy.  Kim mentions dating 25-year-old Kroy Biermann and how he's revived her va-jay-jay. Maybe Nene should give it a shot.
Oh, Kim, that's crazy talk!
