Ashton Kutcher’s alleged mistress fakes pregnancy tale.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi MooreAs you’ll recall, Ashton Kutcher was recently the focus of stories that he slept with another woman while wife, Demi Moore was out of town. Well, that woman,  Brittney Jones is now trying to sell another story claiming she’s pregnant.
Friends say Jones, 21, was ‘boasting’ she got pregnant after a one-night stand with Ashton at their $3-million mansion in the Hollywood hills. Her manager and publicist both tried to sell her story to several media outlets, but it fell apart when Jones’ monthly cycle returned.
“Brittney thought she was pregnant because her period was late for at least a month,” one source told Radar. “In her mind, Brittney believed she was about to have Ashton Kutcher’s baby.”
But some to whom the story was pitched had major doubts whether Jones was really pregnant, or just seeking fame.
“It was a blatant fabrication,” says a source with direct knowledge of the pitch. “Either way, Jones was trying to make money.”
It all began on October 6; Jones claimed she met Ashton at ‘Lucky Strike Lanes’ in Hollywood, gave him her number, and later went to his home They allegedly made out on the couch, and later exchanged a few texts.“He said they share women, but he isn’t supposed to sleep with women on his own,” Jones said at the time, to anyone who would listen. “He explained they had a deal to share lovers. He felt bad that he’d been with me and didn’t share.”Through their lawyer, both Ashton and Demi have denied any cheating occurred. The pair were seen together again on Wednesday at the ‘GQ Gentleman’s Ball’ in New York, looking happy and still firmly a pair.That’s the tale, guys – So was she pregnant, or was it all just a scheme. Leave a comment and let’s take a count…

Lisa Blount, who gained fame and a Golden Globe nomination – in 1982’s ‘An Officer And A Gentleman’, in which she played Debra Winger’s friend, Lynette Pomeroy, has died at the young age of 53. The actress who also co-starred with fellow Arkansan Billy Bob Thornton,in 2004’s Chrystal written and directed by her husband, Ray McKinnon, died at her Arkansas home after battling chronic illness and complaining of back and neck pain, police said.

No foul play is suspected, though authorities haven’t released a cause of death.
Ray, who recently played a football coach in the hit film The Blind Side, was out of state at the time of Lisa’s death.  Louise says as recently as two weeks ago, Lisa “had been filming in Nashville for a TV pilot on Fox called Outlaw Country. She was excited to work with Mary Steenburgen.”

Miley Cyrus’ Parents Going their Separate Ways.

miley-cyrus-parents-time.jpgLooks like Miley Cyrus will have a lot more angst under her wing now that her parents have formally announced their divorce. The Disney pop star icon’s parents Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus have just released a statement saying that after 17 years of marriage, they have decided to finally part ways as a couple.
The two expressed that this moment is a very difficult time for their whole family but is necessary because all of them are trying to work out their own personal issues. A source close to the family also said that a divorce was already expected months, even years before and that this is the best thing to be done by Billy and Tish. The source also negated all the tabloid rumors saying that a third party was responsible for the break up.
Billy Ray Cyrus, a country singer turned actor, exchanged vows with Tish in December 12 and had three children with Miley,17, being the eldest. The other two children are Braison, 16 and Noah, 10 years old. Billy has also adopted two more children whom he has taken under his care when they were still infants and a stepson from a previous marriage.
The couple officially filed their divorce papers last Wednesday in Tennessee with irreconcilable differences as the reason cited for the separation.

Well, it looks like those individuals were correct, Mariah is pregnant. However, the road has not been a smooth one. In fact, it has been downright tough.

Cannon was there through thick and thin and stood strong with her throughout the ordeal. He even held her hand during the interview.
The couple has high hopes for the future and is excited about Mariah’s current pregnancy. Best of luck to the seemingly happy and in love couple! I really hope everything works out and that they have a healthy and happy baby!

Tila Tequila Accused of Kidnapping Woman.

Tila Tequila Accused of Kidnapping WomanTila Tequila is once more in the news for something untoward. This time, however, the charges against her are really bizarre. An L.A.-based photographer is accusing the former reality star of kidnapping his girlfriend.
Allegedly, Tila along with four men armed with firearms, took his girlfriend hostage and later threatened to physically harm him and if his girlfriend called the cops.
Garry Sun, is the gentleman making these outrageous claims. He is reportedly so shook up by the incident that he has filed a restraining order against Tequila.
The story really is a strange one. Sun claims that Tequila, along with her armed “gang” took his girlfriend from her house and forced her to get on a plane to Los Angeles.
According to Tila, the whole entire story is a bunch of lies. She claims that Sun is mad because he lost his job working on her website. She is accusing him of being a bitter employee who wants to get even by going to the press in an attempt to generate bad publicity.

Top Model Gets Violent Over Cab Ride?

Top Model Gets Violent Over Cab?Jessica White, the supermodel who has been paired with both footballer, Terrell Owens and Sean Penn, the actor, reportedly got into a violent scuffle with a young lady, over a cab.
The exchange apparently got so out of hand that authorities were called. There is no word on whether or not charges will be brought, but chances are that they will. What person passes on an opportunity to sue a celebrity? Not to many.
The specifics aren’t yet known. No one knows for sure if the girl who got the beat down tried to “steal” the cab or said something nasty. It’s not likely that the beat down was totally unprovoked but with those crazy models, you never know.
They seem to be pretty quick tempered and you never know what might tip them off. Many of them routinely go ala “Naomi Campbell” with little provocation.
In the next coming days, more details should emerge. Right now, as stated above, the details are kind of sketchy. All that is being reported is that super model, Jessica White, went up side the head of a 28 year old woman and left a little bit of damage.

8 Celebs With Embarrassing Parents.

Embarrassing Parents
In order to drown the sorrow spurned by her daughter’s elimination from “Dancing With the Stars,” Audrina Patridge’s mother, Lyn Patridge, hit the bottle a little too hard at L.A. restaurant, Beso. What ensued was a very sloppy, very embarrassing, drunken rant. The video is a little too potty-mouthed for me to post, but you can watch it here. And I strongly suggest you do. I’ll just give you the greatest hits. She starts off slow, “Audrina is going to f**king rise. She’s got class. She’s a Polish, Catholic, f**king full-on Italian. Not only that, she was raised right. And I don’t give a s**t. It’s all American.” But wait … there’s more. “Lauren Conrad’s pissy ass little fashion s**t. That bitch wants to bring it on? Let’s go!” And finally, “F**king ‘Hills’ tramps, my baby’s a star!”
I am mortified for Audrina. And, selfishly, I’m looking forward to seeing much more of Lyn Patridge on Audrina’s new reality show, which is officially happening by the way.
After the jump, some more celebs and the family members they try hard to keep far away from the spotlight.

Before Demi, There Was January....

Oprah’s New Channel OWN Won’t Use The B-Word


Oprah Winfrey photo In a major departure from her previous programming — some of the filthiest programs on television — Oprah has said no one on her new channel will be using the word “bitches.” I just hope the Oprah Winfrey Network cleans up their act and bans “hoes” and “sluts,” too, because you know those Oprah gals get mouths on them when they’re fired up! Maybe OWN could start a company-wide “swear jar” and be fined a quarter whenever someone says a naughty word. Then Oprah could collect all the money and buy herself something nice for once!

Rupert Everett: Michael Jackson was a freak

Actor thinks it's 'fortuitious' that the Thriller star died

Rupert Everett believes Michael Jackson is now out of his misery

Rupert Everett says Michael Jackson can finally be at peace now he’s dead.

The actor is convinced the Thriller star was unable to lead a normal life because he was hounded by photographers.

‘I think it was fortuitous that he died,’ says Rupert. ‘He was supposed to be doing 50 concerts in London.

‘It wouldn't have mattered how good or bad he was. He wouldn't have managed to do all of them and the press would have destroyed him.’

Rupert thinks it was a shame that Michael had to resort to plastic surgery.

‘He was a freak,’ he tells the Daily Mirror. ‘He looked like a character from Shrek.

‘He was a black to white minstrel. He personified the pain and anxiety of a black man in a slave country. We all watched as he changed from black to white. He was living performance art.’

Taylor Swift Quizzed on Jake Gyllenhaal by Ellen DeGeneres.


Taylor Swift Quizzed on Jake Gyllenhaal by Ellen DeGeneres

Getting to the heart of the matter, Ellen DeGeneres doesn't let Taylor Swift off the hook when it comes to asking what's going on between the country superstar and Jake Gyllenhaal.

"Are you optimistic about love? How do you feel about love right now?" DeGeneres, addressing the topic at hand, asks Swift on The Ellen DeGeneres Show episode airing Monday.

"I'm always optimistic about love," responds Swift 20.


Confirming Swift's stance, DeGeneres repeats, "So you're always optimistic about love?"

"Yes, always, sometimes," says Swift, beginning to backtrack slightly.

"But right now you are?" asks DeGeneres.

"Well, why wouldn't anyone be?" says Swift, before DeGeneres boldly states, "Especially if your boyfriend is Jake Gyllenhaal, because he is very handsome."

But, DeGeneres concludes, "Y'all are just hanging out though, right?"

Swift acknowledges that she and Gyllenhaal were photographed together in New York last weekend. As the singer says to DeGeneres, "You have a picture of us on the [TV] screen, don't you?"

"Right," admits DeGeneres. "But it's just y'all hanging out – this does not prove anything. I'm just saying he's adorable and I like him very much, and so if that is the case that he's your boyfriend, I think that's fantastic."

Still, noting that Swift herself admits that she writes songs about her boyfriends once the relationships end, DeGeneres asks Swift on Gyllenhaal's behalf, "Wouldn't he be nervous if anything goes wrong?'

Beth Holloway Felt Compelled to Confront Joran van der Sloot.

Beth Holloway, mother of missing American teen Natalee Holloway, says she felt compelled to break into a Peru prison to confront Joran van der Sloot, the man suspected in the case of her daughter's 2005 disappearance.

Holloway describes being in Peru to visit the family of van der Sloot's alleged murder victim Stephany Flores Ramirez, 21, when a Dutch news crew offered her a chance to confront the suspect for the first time.

"You know you can't plan on doing something. That [opportunity] presented itself … and it was something that I felt, 'How could I not do it?' " she tells The Insider in an interview to begin airing Friday. "You know, I've traveled all this way."

Beth Holloway Felt Compelled to Confront Joran van der SlootRELATED: Beth Holloway Confronts Joran van der Sloot in Prison


Holloway reportedly visited van der Sloot for only five minutes in his Castro Castro prison cell, where the 22-year-old is awaiting trial. Van der Sloot then canceled the meeting because his lawyer was not present. Holloway's goal, she said, was to find closure – in the form of the location of her daughter's remains, to which she believes van der Sloot holds the key.

"I really felt like for me to move on, what I wanted to [do was] recover her remains," she says. "Because I was so heavy into this communication with [van der Sloot] about, you know, that he knows where her remains are."

Holloway recounts the email exchange between her and van der Sloot in the course of an alleged extortion plot, saying that he began emailing her in March with messages indicating "that he was ready, or wanting, to sell me Natalee's remains for $250,000." She says the emails went back and forth for several weeks until she decided to visit Peru.

Natalee Holloway's 24th birthday would have been this week. She was last seen alive with the young Dutchman on the Caribbean resort island of Aruba. He has publicly said several times that he killed Holloway before retracting his confessions.

Beth Holloway still doesn't have answers, and says she is left with only an idea of what happened. "I think that we all know that it was not good, the outcome for Natalee," she says.

"But it's something that you know is so important in a missing person's case is a resolution, whether it's recovery of remains … of course, everyone would love the outcome that they recover a missing loved one alive, but it just doesn't always happen that way. We know that."

Camille Grammer: My Kids Don't Realize Kelsey Isn't Coming Back

Angela Weiss/Getty
 
Camille Grammer: My Kids Don't Realize Kelsey Isn't Coming BackCamille Grammer's marriage to Kelsey Grammer fell apart as the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills's cameras rolled over the summer while her husband was in New York, starring in Broadway's La Cage aux Folles and beginning a relationship with flight attendant Kayte Walsh, 29.

Now the newly minted reality star is speaking out about her heartbreak.

"This is my chance to tell my story and move on," Camille, 42, who has two children, Mason, 9, and Jude, 6, with Kelsey, 55, tells PEOPLE in an extensive interview. "Maybe it will be cathartic. Maybe this is part of my process."

When did you find out your marriage was over?
In June I got a phone call from a mutual friend in New York who was upset by behavior of his that she'd seen. I asked, "Is he leaving me?" and she said, "Yes." I called him but couldn't get through, so I texted him and asked him to please call me. Nothing. An hour later, I texted him again and he wrote: "I don't want to talk." I wrote, "We've been together for 14 years; I deserve an explanation." Finally, three hours later, he called me. He basically said, "I don't want to be married anymore."

How did you react?
I asked him if there was anything we could work on. I offered to go to therapy. Having children, I wasn't ready to throw in the towel. But his mind was already made up. I started crying and he said, "Oh, grow up." I said, "What about our children?" and he said, "They'll get over it." It was harsh.

How do you feel today?
I feel completely abandoned. I feel dismissed. This all happened very quickly for me. We don't even speak. He doesn't want to. For me, having two children together, it's very important that the two of us communicate. He only wants to communicate via e-mail, through our lawyers or a therapist who acts as a mediator.

How are your children reacting to the divorce?
They still don't realize he's not coming back. They think their daddy is busy doing a play. I'm trying to work with them on the concept that he's not going to come home the way they think he is. For my son, who is only 6, that's hard to understand. They've heard about his girlfriend, but the girlfriend to them is not real. How do you explain that to a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old? You can't lie. You have to be as truthful as possible, but you also have to be responsible.

How do you feel about your future?
I was scared at first, and there's still fear. But I'm excited about my future. That sounds weird, I know. But Kelsey was a very difficult man to have a relationship with. I miss him, but I don't want to look back anymore. Everything is new. I'm excited about rediscovering myself and becoming independent again.

Paula Deen Named Grand Marshal of Rose Parade.

California is about to become a little more southern.

The Tournament of Roses Association announced Tuesday that Paula Deen will be the Rose Parade Grand Marshal in Pasadena on New Year's Day.

Deen, 63, will ride in the 122nd parade on January 1, 2011. Later, she will toss the coin before kickoff of the Rose Bowl game.

"My whole family has watched it on TV for years," Deen told PEOPLE after the announcement. "My sons are very impressed that I was chosen. It only took me 40 years to impress them, but I've finally done it."

"I'm living the dream, honey," Deen continued with a laugh. "Actually, no. I never thought this would happen in my wildest dreams, because I just don't have that kind of imagination!"

Deen first learned of the honor while sitting at her Savannah-area home. "Someone delivered a big, beautiful arrangement of white roses," she says, "and I said, 'This has to be some sort of mistake. Who would be sending me roses?' And then I learned that I had been chosen, and I was thrilled."

Now, Deen has a lot of preparation to do. "I have to decide what to wear," she says. "And what am I going to say? I'm speechless right now."

Will she be as dumbfounded on New Year's Day? "Oh, don't worry. I'll find my tongue long before the parade," she says. "You can't keep me quiet for long."

Mel Gibson Was Never 'Fired,' Says Hangover 2 Director.


Mel Gibson Was Never 'Fired,' Says Hangover 2 Director

Todd Phillips wants to set the record straight once and for all: Mel Gibson's proposed cameo in The Hangover 2 didn't work out – but the actor was never "fired."

"No one was ever fired," the film's director said at the press day for his new movie Due Date. "It's a term that is so obscene to me."

Phillips says the move to replace Gibson with Liam Neeson was business as usual.

"Someone was doing me a favor to come in for a two-minute cameo, and we changed it," Phillips says. "It wasn't like we fired somebody. [Gibson] was just doing a favor from the beginning."

But the back-and-forth certainly caused a stir. Shortly after news of Gibson's cameo as a Bangkok tattoo artist emerged, Phillips announced the appearance was cancelled. Then there was speculation that Hangover star Zach Galifianakis was leading the call for Gibson to be cut from the movie after the comedian gave an interview to a comedy podcast suggesting there were problems on the Hangover 2 set.

Earlier this week, Phillips directed focus away from Galifianakis, saying "a lot of people didn't" like the idea of Gibson's cameo.

After taking heat for his revealing interview on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show earlier this month, David Arquette dished more private details of his split with Courteney Cox on Wednesday.

Arquette, who later apologized via Twitter for over-sharing, admitted that Cox was not happy he spoke so candidly about their relationship the day after the two announced their trial separation.

"She got really pissed," Arquette, 39, told Howard Stern Wednesday morning. "We talked it all out and then we took a walk and it was great … She had a right to get upset about some of the personal details."

In his initial interview with Stern, Arquette revealed that Cox, 46, was tired of being his mother and that they haven't had sex in four months.

Wednesday, Arquette admitted to crying following the first time he slept with another woman after 11 years of marriage, "because it was the end of all the intimacy I shared with my wife."

He later addressed rumors that he'd cheated on Cox, explaining that their separation agreement allowed them to see other people. "I was faithful to my wife for 11 years … completely devoted," he said Wednesday on Regis & Kelly.

The actor, who has a 6-year-old daughter, Coco, with Cox, hasn't ruled out the possibility of getting back together with his wife, and hopes some space might help their relationship. "We gotta kind of make this separation more separate ... Just not so easy to communicate," he told Stern.

When pressed by Stern about whether he was ready to move on, Arquette said, "The fact of the matter is that I am still [expletive] in love with my wife – that's the bottom line.
