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.

“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.

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.
