Charles Barkley Calls Out Brett Favre, Small Junk

Brett Favre crossed the line by allegedly texting pics of his penis to Jenn Sterger, but not in the way that the media has been reporting it, Charles Barkley feels.
Barkley told The Roundtable on WJOX in Birmingham, Ala., that he is "100 percent against sexual harassment," but that Sterger never accused Favre of that.
The whole Brett Favre scandal has been a "witch hunt," in Barkley's mind: "I don't know Brett Favre, but worst case ... Brett Favre's just a freak apparently."

Barkley: Favre "broke one of the Ten Commandments."
In fact, Sir Charles goes on, “My biggest problem with the whole Favre thing is if you’re going to send a woman a picture of your junk, it should be huge."
"You can't send small junk to a woman and expect anything."
Well, there you have it. Listen to his remarks here. Then watch a recent interview he gave with David Letterman in which Barkley made similar points ...

Tiger Woods Scandal: The Top Sports Story of '10

The truly unparalleled Tiger Woods scandal and his humbling, less than stellar return to golf was named the top sports story of 2010 by the AP.
He should share the honor with Rachel Uchitel.
The fallout from Woods' admission of infidelity was something no one could have expected - a deluge of mistresses, a split from Elin Nordegren and perhaps most surprisingly, a winless season on the golf course for the first time.
Puzzled Tiger
The Tiger Woods scandal made 2010 a year like no other.
It was Thanksgiving 2009 when Woods' pristine image unraveled after he crashed his SUV into a tree, unleashing salacious revelations of his double life.
Will 2011 be the year his return to prominence is the top story? That would be a comeback for the ages, and at this point, we're sort of pulling for it.
He made for great celebrity gossip, but at the end of the day, he's paid a heavy price for his "transgressions." It'd be nice to see Tiger back on top.

Ronnie Ortiz Indicted For Jersey Shore Assault

Jersey Shore star Ronnie Ortiz (also known as Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Ronnie Magro) has been formally indicted by New Jersey grand jury on an assault charge.
The legal trouble for Ron stems from an episode from the MTV reality series. The title of the episode during with he cold-cocked Stephen Izzo? "One Shot."
Ortiz faces up to five years in state prison for third-degree assault.
Douche-Tastic
DOUCHE-TASTIC: And this was before his new tattoo!
The meathead “purposely or knowingly caused significant bodily injury to Stephen Izzo by striking in the face with a closed fist," the indictment reads.
Izzo is already suing Ortiz, MTV, Jersey Shore producers and the nightclub over the assault, which caused him to lose consciousness. Pretty bad stuff.
Not bad enough for the show to tone down the violence, of course. If these clips from Jersey Shore Season 3 are any indication, it's gonna be a wild winter.

Lindsay Lohan Terrified of "Psycho" Photographer

Lindsay Lohan knows all about doing things strictly to get the attention of dealing with the paparazzi, but feels one shutterbug has crossed the line.
Having just moved to a more secure location by the Betty Ford Clinic after being stalked by Sam Lutfi (or someone), now she's got more problems ...
According to Lohan, a "psychotic" photog seems to live outside her digs. He's there EVERY day and doesn't miss a beat when she ventures out.
What a Wreck
Poor girl just can't catch a break.
Lindsay is so upset, she's asked her lawyer to go to court and get a restraining order against this dude and several others, but so far nothing's been filed yet.
TMZ sources confirm there is indeed a guy who follows her everywhere she goes, running up to her car, yelling at her every time she comes to a stop, etc.
He drives a Prius with tinted windows. Nice to see that even the seedy underworld of celebrity gossip media feels the urge to reduce carbon emissions.

Sunny Oglesby & Levi Johnston: Dating Somehow!

Sunny Oglesby is apparently dating Levi Johnston.
While the wisdom of this decision is questionable to say the least, given Levi's track record, they seem really happy - and Bristol Palin is even happy for them!
Levi, 20, has been dating Sunny Oglesby, 19, for two months since meeting through mutual friends. They're even "in a relationship" on Facebook! OMG!!
Sunny Oglesby and Levi JohnstonBristol P. Pic
ALWAYS SUNNY: Sorry, that's the best we can do for a photo of Sunny Oglesby and Levi Johnston at the moment. She's not a fan of THG on Facebook ... YET!!
If you assumed this newfound romance would cause a rift between Levi and baby mama Bristol Palin ... that would be a safe assumption. But an incorrect one.
"I have to be happy for Levi's new relationship because it sounds like his new girlfriend is influencing him to want to actually spend time with Tripp," she said.
"I sincerely appreciate [Sunny's] influence because [Levi Johnston] hasn't asked to see Tripp in over five months, so I'm happy for this new development!"
Passive aggressive much?
If it makes Bristol feel better, Sunny's apparently down for stepmom duty. Or at least meeting the little guy. She currently works as a day care instructor!
"She said she's so excited to meet Tripp," the source says.
"He's been in Los Angeles with Bristol for the past few months for Dancing With the Stars. [Sunny] can't wait to meet him when they get back to Alaska."
Hopefully Levi can fit a visit into his mayoral campaign.
At least he's got one vote in the bag. According to her Facebook page, Sunny is from Oregon but currently resides in Wasilla, Alaska, Levi's hometown.
We eagerly await their engagement at any moment!

Julianne Hough "Is That So Wrong" Music Video: Banned By CMT?

Gorgeous Dancing With the Stars pro-turned country singer Julianne Hough sheds some clothes in the video for her latest single, "Is That So Wrong."
But don't go clamoring for the music video of Julianne playfully romping around her apartment wearing next to nothing and dancing seductively yet.
According to reports - and the singer herself - CMT deemed it too racy!
Julianne Hough, Brown Hair
At a recent live show, Julianne Hough told the crowd, "This next song - funny story - I shot a music video for it, but Country Music Television banned it ... apparently I was taking off too many clothes as I was dancing across my bedroom." Gulp.
CMT denies any ban and says it isn't playing "Is That So Wrong" because of contract negotiations with Hough and other artists. CMT and its parent company, MTV, are currently in talks with VEVO, which distributes videos from Hough's label.
As such, don't look for it on CMT. It's also NOWHERE on YouTube or anywhere but the not-at-all-sketchy-or-porn-site-sounding YouClubVideo (dot) com.

Demi Lovato Sex Tape Rumor: Untrue, "Disgusting" Rep Says

Just days after a couple racy photos of Demi Lovato leaked onto the Internet, an even dirtier rumor has sprung up around the troubled singer: she's the star of a new sex tape.
But Demi's rep has quickly shot to the defense of his client, issuing the following response into what he deems a "disgusting" story planted by some media outlet.
"Perpetrating these completely unfounded rumors from supposed sources while Demi is in treatment dealing with serious physical and emotional issues is disgusting.
"The sourcing on this report is so spotty that it is hard to fully respond... We would ask serious news outlets to strongly consider the source of this story before they regurgitate it."
THG is far from a serious news outlet, but we still felt a need to shoot down this rumor before it spread too rapidly. Have some morals, fellow bloggers!

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Touch Hands in Miami!!!

Note to Selena Gomez: if you want us to believe that you are NOT dating Justin Bieber, perhaps you shouldn't frolic with him in front of reporters.
Just days after Gomez scoffed at the notion that her IHOP meal with the shaggy-haired singer was anything but a mutual enjoyment of pancakes, she was spotted in Miami with Bieber... looking cute and cozy!
Cuties in MiamiNear Hand Holding!
We're not saying Bieber and Gomez are definitely an item, but there's something strange about these pictures, isn't there?
No one else is around. This almost come across like a Speidi-esque, staged photo op. As a pair of media savvy stars, one can't help but wonder: why are Justin and Selena acting in such a way that will only fuel dating rumors?
