Sarah Palin Rips Michelle Obama, Decries First Lady's Efforts to Curb Childhood Obesity

Sigh. Sarah Palin is back in the news again.
For whatever reason, the ex-Alaska Governor took First Lady Michelle Obama and her efforts to improve childhood nutrition to task on Laura Ingraham's radio show.
We know conservatives believe in smaller government, and there are strong cases to be made for that philosophy. Attacking Michelle's nutrition initiative, though?
First Lady MichelleYup, There's a Pulse
Sarah Palin is not a fan of Michelle Obama's anti-obesity efforts.
Of the First Lady, Palin told Ingraham that "I think she has got a different worldview and she is not hesitant at all to share what her worldview is."
As for Sarah Palin's worldview, no one can make sense of it, but she does use big words like "exceptionalism" in the rant against Michelle below:

Michelle McGee: Alive, Pole Dancing With Elves

Notorious mistress Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, a.k.a. the tattooed girl who broke up Sandra Bullock's marriage to Jesse James, is still doing her thing. Whatever that is.
Here's the gross McGee at the Melbourne Sexpo in Australia last weekend, where she posed with elves, pole danced and made friends with terrifying phallic creatures.
Some pictures really are worth a thousand words ...
Michelle McGee and an Elf
GOING DOWN (UNDER)Don't hurry back, Bombshell.

Judge Denies Bail for Bruce Beresford-Redman

Bruce Beresford-Redman may never be a free man again.
The former TV producer and suspected murderer has been denied bail by Los Angeles District Court Judge Susan Segal, who said in court today "I do not believe he can be awarded with bail for the allegations which he has been alleged... Mr. Redman presents a risk of flight.”

Beresford-Redman was taken into custody on November 16 and charged with the brutal killing of wife Monica Beresford-Redman. Her body was found in a Cancun sewer on April 8.
Bruce's parents were present in court this afternoon to show support for their son, who arrived in handcuffs and often smiled back at his relatives throughout the hearing.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Celebrate Pax's Birthday

Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving, but she's not a joyless person.
The actress and partner Brad Pitt treated their children to a hot air balloon ride to celebrate son Pax's birthday in Paris. The Vietnamese native turned seven!
Pax, Brad, Angelina, nine-year-old Cambodian son Maddox, five-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara and four-year-old biological daughter Shiloh all took part.
Brad and Angie
PARISIAN PAIRBrad is also promoting Megamind in Europe.
The balloon operator said: "They were like any other family. There was nothing out of the ordinary which made them any different from any other family."
He added that throughout the ride, the couple's children were "excited but very well-behaved. What I think they wanted was a little moment of peace."
"Angelina is a very beautiful woman in person. She was friendly and spoke to me. Brad is very nice and very outgoing. He played a lot with the kids."

Lindsay Lohan Sober House Wins Award

We don't really understand what's going on in this pic, but it involves Lindsay Lohan's living quarters being honored in some way. To that, we can only say ...
ROTFL!
Her rehab program awarded her sober house with a “Sober Shine Award,” displayed in the front yard Monday. Hey, the place has worked wonders for Lindsay ...
Sober Shine Award
LETTING IT SHINEAny captions for this picture likely involve the words "Lindsay," "Lohan," and "sober." Just when you think you've seen everything, right?

Kardashian Kredit Kard Kanceled Kause of Krazy Kash Koncerns

The Kardashians have been ripping people off. No, we aren't referring to the fact that this family has managed to convince people to purchase its merchandise and waste hours of their lives following the exploits of utterly talentless individuals.
For now, at least, we're just talking about the credit card sponsored by Kim, Kourtney and Khloe.
Kredit Kard
Due to allegations of exorbitant, possibly illegal fees, the Kardashians have yanked their prepaid Mastercard off the market. The move is a response to the Attorney General of Connecticut actually opening up an investigation because the card might have been violating consumer protection laws.
Let's all give Sarah Palin a moment to Tweet about how the government should justleave us alone, dammit...

Britney Spears Conservatorship Rollin' Into '11

Britney Spears will ring in 2011 and quite possibly beyond under the control of her father, and the conservatorship is A-O-K with all the parties involved.
There are no plans to end the conservatorship, which was created in February 2008 after the singer went off the rails, and has continued ever since.
Don't worry, though. It's not bad news for Britney.
Caffeine Fiend
As long as Starbucks runs are permitted, she's all good.
She's "content" with the current arrangement and is no longer antsy to end it, since Jamie Spears has given her so much more space this past year.
As for the pop superstar's business affairs, Britney Spears, Inc., has never run more smoothly, so no one sees a reason to pull the plug on that, either.
So ... there you go. No news here. How 'bout these Britney Spears pics!

Celebrity Hairstyle Showdown: Pink vs. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga knows a thing or two about sporting gray hair. If there's anyone who could make that a fashionable look in their mid-20s, it's the Gaga.
No one else would even try it, right? Pink begs to differ.
The newly-pregnant singer rocked the gray coiffure herself this weekend, offering her challenge to the Lady. Whose gray is the greatest? Vote:
 


Rachel Uchitel Speaks on Celebrity Rehab Stint, Battle With "Love Addiction"

In a rare TV interview, Tiger Woods' famed mistress Rachel Uchitel spoke on the Today Show about her addiction to love and how that led her astray.
Appearing alongside her Celebrity Rehab mentor, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Rache promoted her stint on the VH1 program and explained why she went on it.
"I knew that I needed help," Uchitel, who claims she went on the program to deal with her love addiction. "And I wanted to get it from Dr. Drew."
Love Addict
Uchitel she needs help ... and had some lip injections.
The 35-year-old all-pro mistress also said she was being treated for addiction to Ambien and other prescribtion medications, which she did not identify.
Dr. Dew said Rachel Uchitel's condition is partly triggered by traumatic events in her past, such as the premature deaths of her father and fiance Andy.
She was set to get married before he perished in the 9/11 attacks.

Anne Hathaway and James Franco to Host Academy Awards?

If Anne Hathaway wears what she donned for a recent EW photo shoot at next year's Academy Awards, we think the following news is nothing short of exhilarating:
According to Deadline Hollywood, Hathaway and James Franco are near-locks to host the 2011 Oscars. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has  made the offer to these stars and it "looks like" both have accepted, reports that trade.
Hathaway Picture
James Franco Image
Both actors are starring in new films, with Franco considered a front-runner for Best Actor based on his portrayal of Aron Ralston in 127 Hours.
Assuming Hathaway and Franco officially accept the honor, it would mark the first time in history a pair of current, mainstream movie stars host the ceremony. What do you think of this choice?

Willie Nelson Arrested For Marijuana Possession

Legendary singer Willie Nelson was busted over the weekend in Texas for possession of six ounces of marijuana. Wait ... Willie Nelson smokes pot? Who knew.
Nelson’s tour bus pulled into a routine checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Tex. and in an astonishing feat of law enforcement, an officer noticed a familiar herb smell.
Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West said: “It’s kind of surprising, but I mean we treat him like anybody else." And by surprising, he probably means not at all.
Willie Nelson Pic
It wasn't Willie Nelson's first drug bust. Nor will it be the last.
As much of a joke as this sounds like, a criminal defense attorney in Austin says six ounces of pot could get Willie six months minimum and up to two years.
But Bruce Margolin, director of the L.A. chapter of NORML, thinks he has a defense that could spring the 77-year-old crooner by tracing the weed to Cali.
Specifically, Nelson can claim he forgot the California-grown pot was on the bus. The Golden State is cool with medicinal marijuana, after all. Stay tuned.

Should Susan Boyle Sing at the Royal Wedding?

He's already a reality show judge and record producer. But Simon Cowell is looking to add another title to his resume: wedding planner.
Speaking to Extra, Cowell offered up an idea for who should sing at the royal nuptials between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
"Susan Boyle would be perfect," said the former American Idol panelist, adding that Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" would be the ideal wedding song for the pair.
SuBo with FlowersGreeting the Public
As the world knows by now, William and Kate got engaged last month and have scheduled their exchanging of vows to take place at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011. Billions are expected to watch on television.
Would Boyle be able to handle that pressure? Do you think she'd made a good choice to sing at the reception?

Celebrities to Spurn Twitter, Facebook For Charity

Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and Usher are going dark.
All in the name of charity. The aforementioned foursome and others are signing off Twitter and Facebook Tuesday until they raise $1 million for World AIDS Day.
Keys' charity, Keep A Child Alive, is staging a campaign that will have celebs such as Lady GaGa, Justin Timberlake, and Usher signing off of all social media.
Peace, Usher!
PEACE OUTDonate money or Usher won't be back on Twitter!
The "Digital Life Sacrifice" will feature the stars' filming "last tweet and testament" videos which will show them lying coffins to represent their "digital death."
"It's really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on," Keys said. "It's so important to shock you to the point of waking up."
"It's not that people don't care or it's not that people don't want to do something, it's that they never thought of it quite like that. This is direct, instantly emotional way, a little sarcastic too, as a way to get people to pay attention."

Brooke Mueller Claims to Be Happy, Healthy

Over the weekend, reports surfaced that Brooke Mueller was downing a lot more than cranberry sauce.
Photos of Charlie Sheen's ex-wife were taken of her exiting a hotel, looking disheveled and, reportedly, on her way to rehab. But Mueller has now shot down this claim as "ridiculous" and added: "I am happy and healthy."
She also really is filming an Oxygen reality show with Paris Hilton. That remains hard to fathom.
Brooke Goes Public
Of course, if Mueller was out drinking, it would be easy to understand. She should be celebrating every second she has free from Sheen and his wild, dangerous lifestyle.
But a source tells Us Weekly she is "clean and sober. Everything is going really well for her. She is focusing on the twins and being a good mom. She is really excited about her new show with Paris."
Well, sure. If there's any guaranteed way to remain sober and focused on raising two young children, it's by filming a reality series with Paris Hilton.

Oksana Grigorieva to Mel Gibson: U Still Love Me!

For a woman claiming she feared for her life, Oksana Grigorieva sure wrote some interesting things to Mel Gibson. Interesting emails, to be more precise.
In the months following their nuclear argument on January 6, she sounds very much like a woman scorned and not ... well, a woman fearing for her life.
The emails are significant for this reason. In them, Oksana appears in search of answers, if not in hot pursuit of Mel Gibson. Hardly fearful or threatened.
Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva
If Oksana feared Mel, she had a funny way of showing it.
Oksana, on March 30: "I don't belive (sic) that u stopped loving me just in one phonecall. U either stopped loving me a long time ago or u still love me."
Oksana, on May 2: "Until this morning I was still missing you so much and secretly wanted and hoped for us to be together again ... I still believed that you loved me."
"Now I dont. I think you knew what was going on."

Tiger Woods Tweets Love For Kids, Pie

Tiger Woods has come a long way since last Thanksgiving.
Last year, there was a car crash, a likely 9-iron to the grill and a series of revelations that led to him being crowned THG's Biggest Turkey of the year.
His fake, perfect life unraveled that infamous night. This Thanksgiving, though? Just some fake Tweets about his new low-key, family-oriented life.
Woods Family Photo!
FACADEThe star's seemingly perfect life was anything but.
With Elin Nordegren long gone, Tiges spent a quiet holiday with his two kids, Sam, 3, and Charlie, 1½ and his mother, Kultida, a source reports.
Sounds like it went well. "I just finished a pretty tough cardio session this morning because of all the apple and pumpkin pie," the golfer Tweeted.
No word if he went creepin' on random hoes later.
True or not (you never know with Mr. Corporate), the guy clearly wants us to think he's reflected on life and is focusing on what's truly important.
It's probably accurate, at least to a point. Hard not to reexamine your life after all that. Here's hoping Woods has turned the corner internally.

Brangelina Goes AWOL on Thanksgiving

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did their thing on Thanksgiving.
What that was, we have absolutely no idea, but it appears their kinds hung out on the beach for the holiday Angelina loathes, parents nowhere in sight.
Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Knox and Vivienne were all spotted at the beach, accompanied by their nannies on Thanksgiving. No sign of Ange or of Brad Pitt.
A. Jolie and B. Pitt
REWRITING HISTORY: Brangelina will have none of it.
Pitt did comment earlier that the family would be overseas, but did not mention specific plans. Likely because Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving.
“Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like many other Americans,” a source said of her perception of the day.
“To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn’t her style at all."
Apparently she put her money where her mouth is, at least

Kate Gosselin Wastes Money on Tanning

What do you do when your diva-like ways are running your family into fiscal despair? If you're Kate Gosselin, you go get your tan on in Reading, Pa.
The mother of eight was seen exiting a local tanning salon, where she channeled her inner Snooki, before heading over to do "business" at a FedEx.
Here's Kate looking lean and sort of tan ...
Kate Plus Tanning
BRIGHTER DAYSKate Gosselin has seen them.
We're not criticizing the tanning industry overall, but it seems like a waste of money when you've got eight mouths to feed and limited income, no?
Seriously, the children eat moldy food so you can do this!?!?
Kate, who recently admitted that her kids are under pressure lately, yet shows no apparent inclination to do anything about that, spent Thanksgiving day with the enormous brood before handing them off to their deadbeat dad.

Jason London and Sofia Karstens: Engaged!

Jason London of SyFy's Weather Wars is heading to the altar with his actress girlfriend of more than two years, Sofia Karstens, London tells E! News.
The brother of Jeremy London sealed the deal Saturday night in L.A. when he proposed to his lady love with a ring passed down by her grandmother.
"I love waking up with my best friend every morning," London said, with Karstens adding, "I feel so lucky to have such an amazing man in my life."

Jason London and Sofia Karstens will wed next July 16.

Lindsay Lohan: Free For a Day

Lindsay Lohan enjoyed a temporary respite from rehab this weekend. On the docket for the troubled, recovering actress? Coffee and cigarettes.
Guess caffeine and nicotine rank pretty far down the list of Lindsay Lohan vices. Kicking her addictions to cocaine and alcohol are top priorities.
Here's LiLo at a local Starbucks near Palm Springs ...
Free For a Day

The 24-year-old spent Thanksgiving with her dad. While she and Michael Lohan are on better terms, he hasn't been able to get Linds to quit smoking.
Last month, when the reunited twosome began to mend fences, MiLo sent her an electric cigarette as part of a care package, apparently to no avail.
Oh well. Maybe that'll come after she completes her stint in rehab, which has been going on for two months-plus and seems to be working wonders.

Jackie Evancho Sets Debut Album Record for 2010

From America's Got Talent to America's got a burgeoning superstar on its hands...
Jackie Evancho, the 10-year sensation who mesmerized television viewers this summer with her operatic voice, has set a Billboard record with the release of the album "O Holy Night." It sold 239,000 copies in its first-week of release, ranked number-two on the Billboard 200 chart and made Evnacho the top-selling debut artist of 2010.
Jackie Evancho Image
"Jackie Evancho is one of the purest and finest vocalists I've ever heard, and the initial response to her debut release has been phenomenal," said Steve Barnett, Chairman of Columbia Records.
See what all the buzz is about for yourself. Watch Jackie sing the title single off her CD at a recent Pittsburgh Christmas parade. The video is posted below.

Taylor Swift & Jake Gyllenhaal: Actually Photographed Together!

You've heard the rumors. You've read the quotes from anonymous sources. But you still haven't seen Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal together.
Until now!
Following a Thanksgiving morning spent at a Brooklyn coffee shop, this likely couple visited Swift's hometown of Nashville over the weekend. Yesterday afternoon, the two were seen getting breafast at Fido, a coffeehouse and café near Vanderbilt University. Allow us to present actual evidence this time:
In Nashville
Swiftenhaal: Alive and well!
"They were smiling and laughing. They were talking a lot and enjoying each other's company," a witness told People. "They didn't look like friends."
Another customer named Emma Rice, who posted this picture online, added that Taylor and Jake looked "very cute" and "seemed close."

The Black Eyed Peas Set to Rock Super Bowl

The Black Eyed Peas are on a roll.
Fresh off an American Music Awards win for Best Pop Group (click here to watch their futuristic performance), the gang will do the Super Bowl halftime show.
"The Black Eyed Peas are officially performing the Super Bowl halftime show in Dallas," will.i.am tweeted to fans, confirming the can't-miss mini-concert.
DA Peas
The Peas are the first non-rock group to hit the stage since Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's famous wardrobe-malfunction during halftime in 2004.
Since then, older and less controversial artists such as the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, The Who and Bruce Springsteen have done the honors. No longer.
They could have picked anybody. It says something that they picked us," will said.
Indeed. We can't wait to hear "Let's Get it Started" at a sporting event for once.

Presenting: The First Photo from Breaking Dawn!

Director Bill Condon has given Twilight Saga fans a major gift for Thanksgiving: The first photo from Breaking Dawn!
The film opens in less than a year, on November 18, 2011. While Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been photographed making out with each other in Brazil over the last couple weeks, this is the first actual image from the movie.
So, what is it? What did Condon Tweet? Find out below!

Breaking Dawn Pic
While rather vague to non-Twihards, anyone familiar with the story of Breaking Dawn can easily guess what is posted here.
It's a shot of Bella in bed, clutching a fist full of feathers, as her and Edward will be taking a big step in their relationship during the final installment of the Saga. Look for Stewart to be getting naked a lot as a result.

Justin Bieber Answers YOUR Questions!

It was anything but a Black Friday for residents of New York City yesterday.

Thanksgiving Couple Sightings: Swiftenhaal, Kimbriel and More!

For many celebrities this year, Thanksgiving was a time for turkey, pumpkin pie... and romance!
For example, while NBC aired a special in her honor Thursday night, Taylor Swift spent the holiday with new man toy Jake Gyllenhaal. They went for coffee in Brooklyn around 10:30 that morning and "were really really sweet," said a witness.

Matthew Rutler: A Risky Rebound for Christina Aguilera?

Filed under: Celebrity Couples, Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera has rebounded quickly from her recent divorce.
The singer has been spotted out with Matthew Rutler, a production assistant and a guitarist in the Nate Mott Band. The two met on the set of Burlesque in February and quickly bonded - much to the chagrin of friends.
“Christina is completely taken with Matthew," a source tells Star. "But he’s a wild rocker type with a reputation as a ladies’ man."
Pic of Xtina
An insider says Rutler is in "heaven" because he's dating a celebrity.
“He networks like crazy with all the big names she introduces him to. He’s a major operator. And everything is on her dime, because he’s broke. Matt used to live in a crummy apartment with roommates; now he’s at her Beverly Hills mansion every night."
While pals worry that this relationship is "too much, too soon" for Christina, she isn't letting any personal issues affect her work. Check out a series of recent performance by Aguilera in her THG video section.

Michael Brea Admits to Killing "Demon" Inside Mother, Provides Chilling Details of Crime

Actor Michael Brea gave a chilling interview to The New York Daily News today.
The small-time thespian, who was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly killing his mother with a three-foot sword, opened up to the newspaper and said "I didn't kill her. I killed the demon inside her."
Michael Brea Pic
Before ending the life of 55-year old Yannick Brea, Michael said a number of visions gave him no choice.
"I was sleeping in my bedroom. God came above my bed and reached his arm to me. I said, 'God, is my time on earth over?' I heard a voice say, 'Yes Michael, today is your last day.'"
The actor also said a  man put a curse on him at Prince Hall Masonic Temple in Harlem and that strangers came up to him on a subway ride to Brooklyn:
"I felt like Neo from The Matrix. I began hearing voices and feeling powerful. They were asking about the difference between mom and mother. It was a sign."
Brea went on to detail Tuesday evening: he arrived home in Prospect Heights and hugged his mom because "I knew I would never see her again." He subsequently entered his bedroom and lit candles before putting a dagger and a ceremonial Freemason sword by his side.
When he went into the kitchen, he claims Yannick "had the voice of the demon. I opened the door with the dagger at my side and the sword. I asked, 'Do you believe in God?' She said, 'No, Michael no,' and began screaming. I began slashing her like this," the actor outlined, while slamming his right hand down in a violent hacking motion.
"I didn't want to kill her right away," he said. "I wanted to give her time to get right with God... I just kept cutting her. No one could stop me. I was doing the work of God."
When police arrived on the scene, there was blood everywhere and Yannick was on her knees in the bathroom. Brea stood with the sword in one hand and Masonic Bible in the other.
He says he has no remorse over the crime.

Kate Gosselin on Troubled Kids: The Pressure is Getting to Them!

In the wake of two of her children getting expelled from school, Kate Gosselin went on record, discussing the situation personally for the first time with ET.
Asked if Collin and Alexis Gosselin were in fact expelled, she said, "Two of my kids, no, are being tutored at home, with a teacher who is working closely with our kindergarten teachers in school, doing the identical curriculum."
So basically ... they were kicked out.
Shill
Kate says life in the spotlight is hard for the kids.
The-recently divorced reality star says that, "All the pressure was getting to them," explaining, "You have a lot of the divorce anger mixed in with that."
"The goal is to get them back into school as soon as possible," she adds.
But will their deep-rooted rage issues and bullying tendencies subside?
Kate also discussed the rumor that her upcoming TLC show, Twist of Kate, had been canceled. Kate says that no, "We're sort of still trying to shape it [into] what it needs, what is going to be fun. So no, it's not canceled."
Fortunately for the kids, Thanksgiving came and went without incident.
"We were able to work out the holiday time peacefully," she said of splitting time with her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin. "So I had the first half, he had the second half, and, we just take it year by year, and holiday by holiday."
Kate and the kids appear on a Kate Plus Eight special Sunday on TLC.
So it goes for the diva facing financial ruin ...

Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz: Back On?

A month after parting ways, are Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez back on? It looks like it after they were spotted getting cozy over dinner in West Hollywood.
"They looked super couple-y," an insider told Us about the actress and New York Yankees slugger. "Cameron was holding his hand and kept nuzzling him."
Friends say the reconciliation shouldn't come as a surprise.
ARod on the Red Carpet
Cam Diaz
CAMROD: Are Rodriguez and Diaz back together?
"They break up and get back together all the time," notes a source close to Diaz and A-Rod, who parted ways in October because "they needed some space."
Maybe they got too much space and couldn't resist each other?
While the actress was recently linked with Glee star Matthew Morrison - the two hung out at L.A. lounge Bardot - that fling has since sizzled, so stay tuned!

THG Presents: The 10 Biggest Turkeys of 2010

Happy Thanksgiving to all from The Hollywood Gossip!
What would this holiday be without family, food, football and reflection upon the things we appreciate most ... in the case of THG, that means some of the bird-brained celebs we've had the privilege of covering in the past year.
Without further ado, THG's Top 10 Turkeys of '10 ...
Spencer Pratt Turkey
We may rename this the Spencer Pratt Thanksgiving Turkey Award.
10. Barack Obama. The good will and immense popularity enjoyed by the President at the start of his White House term eroded fast, leaving in its wake a deeply polarized electorate and a Congress destined for partisan gridlock. 
9. Jake Pavelka. Lame stints on The BacheloretteThe Bachelor and DWTS were enough to overcook this turkey, but his televised breakup special with fake fiancee Vienna Girardi was the year's reality TV douchepocalypse.
8. The Kardashians. Sure, they're harmless, but there's so darn many of these girls. Mix in a hearty helping of Scott Disick and we're just burned out.

Michael Lohan: Lindsay Wasn't Fired, She Quit!

Michael Lohan is slamming the director of Inferno, Matthew Wilder, for lying aboutfiring Lindsay from the lead role in his upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic.
Celebuzz talked to Michael who claims that, in no uncertain terms, "Lindsay left Inferno. Wilder can shove it up his butt. She didn't want to do that movie."
"He's full of it. He was trying to ride our coattails."
Begging For it
ADVENTURES OF MILOToday's task? Defend daughter's name!
Lindsay Lohan's highly-anticipated lead role in Inferno had been in limbo after failing drug tests, spending a few weeks in jail and landing in rehab indefinitely.
This caused shooting to be delayed, at which point Wilder said he let Lohan go and replaced her with Malin Akerman. It made sense ... but MiLo's crying foul.
"She doesn't need to do a movie like that," Michael Lohan said. "Give me a break. What a great thing to do for a girl that's going through recovery."
"Put her in a position to act in a position where she's a drug addict. Real genius, and he cares, right? Come on. Biggest hypocrite on the planet."
"If he wants to say he fired my daughter, let him say to to my face."
Your move, Wilder.

Police to Question Denise Richards Over Alleged Charlie Sheen Harrassment

Even in divorce, Denise Richards can't get away from the mayhem Charlie Sheen leaves in his drunken wake.
Because the actor's ex-wife was actually present at dinner on the night Sheen allegedly went ballistic and eventually threatened the life of Capri Anderson - the porn star has said Richards left when she saw the evening turning into a night of "floozies" - police have contacted the actress.
Richards was also sleeping in the Plaza Hotel room across from her ex when cops arrived on the scene. She reportedly entered at some point and could have spotted evidence to be used in an investigation.
DeniseTotally TRASHED
Two women, half a man.
Sources tell TMZ Denise plans to "fully cooperate."
Meanwhile, a police spokesman spoke to E! News and gave some background on just what the NYPD is looking into, based on charges Anderson has brought against her one-time date.
"She decided a month later the crime that was completed was harassment," the spokesman said. "She said he was shouting at her, knocking things off in the hotel room, acting irrational. She voluntarily locked herself in the bathroom and was not held against her will. She was not a victim of assault. She was not imprisoned in the hotel room."
Why didn't police initially investigate the events?
"When we responded, she didn't file a police report. She never said she felt in danger. Mr. Sheen voluntarily went to the hospital were he underwent a psychiatric evaluation."
Cops will also speak to Sheen about the incident at some point over the next couple days.
Perhaps an English teacher could do the same. This crazy dude needs serious grammar help!

Christy Martin, Boxing Legend, Accuses Husband of Shooting and Stabbing Her

Christy Martin is a boxing legend, the first female in her sport to cover Sports Illustrated. But now this brawler is truly in for the fight of her life...
... against both death and her husband.
Chrissy Martin on SI
Martin, who once appeared on the undercard of a Mike Tyson match, is recovering in a Florida hospital after being shot and stabbed yesterday.
While details are still coming in, TMZ reports the boxer stumbled out of her home after the incident, flagged down a car and was taken to get care by a passing motorist. Despite her injuries, Martin told authorities the man behind the attack was her 66-year-old husband and trainer, James Martin.
Police are now on the hunt for the man who made the mistake of thinking Christy Martin could be knocked out so easily.

Bristol Palin's DWTS Secret Weapon: Prayer

Bristol Palin finished third on the Dancing with the Stars finale.
Considering the scrutiny and controversy she fought through - not to mention her lack of experience dancing - it's pretty darn impressive for the 20-year-old.
Her secret to overcoming all that adversity? Prayer.
Bristol and Ballas
Palin, who fell just short behind Kyle Massey and winner Jennifer Grey on last night's finale, drew ire from some fans for advancing despite relatively low scores.
"It is faith that got me through this, just praying all the time and just relying on God and knowing that He is on our side and we'll get through this," she said.
"Just persevere, have confidence, and be willing to go try new things," she said, asked what she'll take away from this. "I've grown so much as a person."
She's come along way since dating Levi Johnston. Follow the jump to see Bristol and Mark, along with their fellow finalists, on The View ...

Kanye West Goes on Insane Concert Rant, Possibly Compares Matt Lauer to Child Abuser

Kanye West is out of his mind.
The rapper went on a VINTAGE Kanye rant last night in his New York concert, going off on everything from Taylor Swift and George W. Bush to the Today show.
Of the VMA debacle, he said "If I wasn't drunk, I woulda been on stage longer," then accused Swift of milking it, saying she "rode and rode" the wave of publicity.
Kanye is Krazy
Regarding the former President, West said his post-Katrina criticism of George Bush was "a BLATANT truth" ... then lambasted the media for demonizing Bush.
He also brought up the Today show drama again, reiterating his belief that Matt Lauer sabotaged him and ran a clip from his Q&A with Kanye out of context:
"Matt Lauer's not a bad guy I'm sure, but if you're a child being abused by a parent ... or a girl being abused by your boyfriend ... the greatest win that you could ever have is for that person to hit you in public. You SEE! YOU SEE! I TOLD YOU!"
Entertaining as he is, dude needs a whole team of psychiatrists ASAP. Watch the clip after the jump to see Kanye West's nine-minute tirade in all its glory:

Willow Palin Lambasts Media, Praises Bristol

Willow Palin is not happy with the media. Must run in the family.
A week after her big sister, Bristol Palin, apologized for Willow's use of a gay slur on Facebook, the 16-year-old spawn of Sarah is sounding off solo.
In a statement to E!, Willow goes off on Facebook haters, scandalous "lies" in Life & Style and Bristol's run to the Dancing With the Stars finale.

"Today I am focusing on a special event - Bristol and Mark [Ballas]'s appearance in the Dancing With the Stars finals. Nothing will take away how proud we are of Bristol and her grit and determination that got her this far," says Willow Palin.
Then her attention turned to the "ridiculous" reports, namely a Life & Style story painting the wild child as a crazy, vodka-chugging drug dealer.
