In a new entry on her MySpace blog, Michael Jackson's ex-wife, Lisa Marie Presley, talks about how Michael feared he would end up like her dad, Elvis Presley.

"Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general," Lisa Marie writes. "He stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, 'I am afraid that I am going to end up like [Elvis], the way he did.' I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that."

Lisa Marie also made note that their two-year marriage, from 1994-1996, was not a "sham" despite what most believed, but she did call their union "unusual."

"I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much. I became very ill and emotionally/spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him," she writes. "I was in over my head while trying."

Michael's ex says, that no matter what went on between them she always wanted what was best for him, and is now hoping he can finally find peace. 

"He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together," Lisa Marie writes. "I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now. He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be." 
 

The singer was seen at Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Orlando on Sunday with a chick who looked very much like Ri Ri -- but wasn't.

Teyana Taylor, an 18-year-old rapper/singer from New York, was the lady with Chris at the ballgame. And she wasn't too thrilled with everyone in the world thinking she was someone else.

While watching the game, Teyana Twittered, "If one more reporter says that I'm Rihanna, I'm gonna go crazy." Following it up with, "I look nothin like Rihanna."

Okay, try telling that to Chris when he's messing up your name later in the night.

Bruce Willis has been bitten by the love bug.

The actor and his wife, Emma Heming, posed for the new issue of W, where Bruce went on to gush about how his faith in love was renewed after finding her.

Bruce said he was positive that he was done with marriage. Then he met Emma.

"I lasted one date," he admitted. "I went from 'F--- love' to 'Love is truly the answer.'" 

After he and ex, Demi Moore, split in 1998, Bruce thought his time being ga ga over someone was so over.

"I spent the last 10 years single and, for the most part, unhappy. In a dark place. I never thought that being with someone else was the answer," he told the mag. "I would say, 'I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.' But I was just kidding myself," he adds. "Then I started hanging around Emma, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier." 

And he doesn't care who knows it.

"We're sickening," he laughs. "We make out in public. I know there's some rule that you're not supposed to be doing - what is it? Public displays of affection?" 

As for his ex wife, her new hubby, Ashton Kutcher, and his three daughters, Bruce says they've just figured out how to make it all work.

"We've become like a tribe," he says. "It's generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don't understand how I can get along with my ex like that.

"Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we're really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together. I still love her, and I have a lot of respect for how she lives her life."

Such a lovefest.

Lots of action at last night's NBA finals game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic.

No, I'm no talking about the actual basketball-playing, but about the fact that both Chris Brown and Rihanna were in attendance!

According to a source, Chris and Rihanna actually requested to sit together(!), but when the time came, they were seated in separate sections. They also avoided each other during halftime, where they hung out in different lounge areas.

Rihanna has just been subpoenaed to testify at Chris' next hearing -- so, what is the deal with them?

Do you think they are actually still together but are laying low until the case is over? How could she want to hang with him after what he did to her?

It's mind-blowing.

Pete Wentz had to play referee for wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and former girlfriend Michelle Trachtenberg, after Ash got a bit tipsy and, um, went nuts.

It all started out fine when the couple met up with Michelle at the "DJ Hero" video game party at LA's Wiltern Theatre. According to PerezHilton.com, "The evening started off very civilly. Pete and Ashlee had a pleasant conversation with Michelle and her boyfriend for close to 20 minutes, and even showed [Michelle] some baby pictures of [Ashlee's] little boy, Bronx."

But then Ashlee started throwing back drinks -- and things got messy.

"Things got out of control," an insider said. Ashlee began to give her hubby a lap dance, while staring at his ex and making inappropriate remarks to the Gossip Girl actress. "She was grinding up on Pete like a stripper. It was actually pretty disgusting," the witness blabbed.

Then Ash did the unthinkable -- she turned to Michelle, who was confused by the whole thing, and said, "I hope you know, the whole time you were dating Pete, I was [bleep]ing him!"

Oh no she didn't!

Pete reportedly was about to die when someone came and made Ashlee leave.

A rep for Ashlee said, "It was just a misunderstanding. Ashlee has since apologized to Michelle and they remain on good terms."

Riiight. Good terms, my hiney. Love it. 

This is crazy!

Some loony woman attacked Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend, Terri Seymour, outside the Nokia Theater last night, after the American Idol finale.

According to TMZ.com, Teri was approached by a woman who asked her if she was Simon's girlfriend -- then proceeded to try and choke her!

Terri is ok -- she refused medical treatment and was escorted out of the entertainment complex by police.

The crazy woman, Janice Thibodeaux, was booked on felony battery and is being held $52,700 bail.

Oh, and when TMZ spoke to Janice's brother and sister, they said she's "not crazy" and this is "way out of character" for her.

Uh-huh. She sounds real sane to me.

A new single of the pop star's has been posted on Kanye West's blog, and it certainly sounds like Ri could be talking to her ex, who allegedly beat her up the night before the Grammys in February.

The song is called "Silly Boy", and it features the fabulous Lady Gaga. Ri sings, "I said I'm not coming back / You fooled me once but you can't have that ego turning / Just too bad for you, that when you had me / Didn't know what to do, she's over you / Cause you had a good girl, good girl, girl / That's a keeper / You had a good girl, good girl but didn't know how to treat her /So silly boy get out my face / Why do you like the way regrets taste?"

It definitely sounds like it could be about Chris, but would you choose such nice words to use on him after what he did? Um, I wouldn't.

UPDATE: It's a fake! Reps for Rihanna say the singer on the track is not the pop princess -- nor did Lady Gaga contribute to the tune.

I knew she couldn't be that nice.

According to UsMagazine.com, Lindsay visited Sam at the deejay's Hollywood Hills home on Thursday. This is the same house that LiLo used to live in with Sam, before their big fight earlier this month at the Chateau Marmont.

Lindsay reportedly seemed "calm...[but] happy" during the visit, and stayed for about six hours.

Later that afternoon Sam changed her Facebook relationship status from "In a relationship" to "It's complicated."

Hmmmm. Could the girls be working it out?

It's looking good for those of us pulling for Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.

Justin accompanied his on-again-off-again ex to the premiere of her new HBO movie, Grey Gardens, where the pair gushed about each other.

"I adore him," Drew told People.com of Justin. "And I thank God that my friend supports me the way he does."

Drew and Justin reportedly cuddled and hugged the whole night through, with Justin leaning over and giving Drew a quick kiss during the screening.

And he just seemed in awe of his girl. "I'm so proud and stunned. It's unbelievable," he beamed. "She lost herself completely. It's an amazing, beautiful, transformative performance. She's one of the greats."

He's so sweet to her!

Hopefully, as they film a new movie together this summer, these two will find they can't live without each other.

Pink and Carey Hart, who split in 2008, are working things out!

"We're rebuilding," the motocross racer told People.com, of his relationship with the singer. "Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps backwards to move forward."

"We're definitely putting in work," he added.

The couple were married in 2006, and after splitting two years later, they found themselves still very drawn to each other. They have been seen hanging out together a lot in the last few months, while Carey starred in Pink's video for "So What."

And the biker seems to have nothing but respect for his girl's work ethic.

"The thing about Pink is she's so dedicated to her fans and putting on amazing live shows," Carey said. "She might not see the record success of a Britney Spears but the girl sells a hell of a lot of albums. She's incredible."

Awww! I love them! And this just feeds my need to see Pink in concert -- come to the tri-state area this summer, girl!

Well, it's not Bridget that's retaliating with the smack talk, but pals of the actress are not keeping as quiet.

One friend told Page Six, "If Gisele loved Bridget's child like he was '100 percent her own,' then she would not talk about him in the press. Discretion and respect are not either of Gisele or Tom's virtues, as was evidenced even when the child was still unborn and they publicly flaunted their relationship without any discretion whatsoever."

Point taken.

"Don't you think Jack will grow up and read her comments and find them disrespectful to him and his mother? If Tom is such a great father as everyone likes to say, then you would think that he'd respect the privacy of his young child and would ask his wife not to use his son as a publicity prop and a subject of public discussion," the chum raged on. "Is she is so desperate for attention that she can't find anything more productive to talk about other than Bridget's child?"

Yowza! That is some venom!

And for one final blow, referencing Gisele's comment "It's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child -- I feel it is, 100 percent," Bridget's brigade quipped, "Hey Gisele -- real mothers don't call their kids 'it.'"

Yeah, we aren't seeing any big, happy family holidays in the future.

The twosome, who were just so cute while they were dating last year, have been palling around again a lot lately, and now they will be spending even more time together!

According to Variety, Drew and Justin will be costarring in a new romantic comedy called Going the Distance. They'll play "a young couple navigating their way through the perils of a long distance relationship who quickly discover that 'going the distance' might cost them everything they have, including one another."

I'm so hoping that this brings them back together. I know, I'm a sap.

Hot off her wedding to Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen is showing her sexy newlywed bod on the cover of the May Vanity Fair.

The supermodel opened up about the beginning of her relationship with the footballer, and about finding out that her then-new boyfriend was having a baby with his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan.

"It was definitely a surprise for both of us. In the beginning you're living this romantic fantasy; you're thinking, This can't be true, it's so good!" she gushed. "And then, Whoops--wake-up call! We were dating two and a half months when he found out, and it was a very challenging situation. Obviously, in the beginning, it's not the ideal thing."

But these two stuck it out, and now they are doing their best to be one big happy family with baby John -- I would think, regardless, of how Bridget feels about it. 

"He's a little angel--the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby," she says. "I feel blessed to have him in my life. I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that's important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he's my son, from the first day."

I don't know, kids. I think that's great and mature of Gisele, but it's got to be a thorn in Bridget's side, no? What do you think?

Britney Spears' ex is facing felony charges, after he tried to get away from a process server, by hitting him with his Mercedes. The paparazzo allegedly "started to drive toward the man, who, in order to avoid being pinned against a garbage truck, jumped onto the hood of Ghalib's Mercedes. Ghalib swerved and the alleged victim fell off, breaking his wrist and sustaining other injuries." Brit's ex boytoy then peeled out of there like there was no tomorrow.

Adnan was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run.

Prosecutors are asking bail be set at $110,000, and Adnan is looking at up to seven years in prison, if convicted on all of the charges.

And, if Jamie Spears has anything to say about it, when Adnan gets out of jail in 2016, he still won't be able to see Britney.

"Jessica Biel for one reason and Cate Blanchett for another. I've worked with Cate twice, and I'd say she's probably the best actress out there. I'd like to do another movie with Angie [ex-wife Angelina Jolie], too, one of these days. We talk all the time. She and I keep looking for something to do together; we just have to find the right thing."

-- Billy Bob Thornton, to Theboot.com, on which actress he's dying to work with

2) I don't even want to entertain the reason that he wants to work with Jessica Biel.

Things are looking very merry for serial dater Cameron Diaz and current beau Paul Sculfor. The duo, who have been dating since early June, braved the cold in NYC and walked hand-in-hand through the West Village yesterday.

Paul had a quick fling with Jennifer Aniston back in 2007, but that didn't last more than a couple of weeks. If the model was looking for a relationship, he certainly came to the right place. Cameron is known for sinking her long-term hooks into boyfriends -- just ask Matt Dillon and Justin Timberlake.

So could this be "the one" for Cam? I'm sure she thinks so.

The girls, who are just 4 and 3, were riding in an SUV driven by their nanny on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu when a Honda cut them off. They were one of four cars involved in the wreck.

Fortunately, "the kids are fine," a source said.

"It could have been worse," another source told UsMagazine.com. "They were protected by being in their car seats."

Very good news.

Could you imagine if Charlie was driving the car? Forget about it -- Denise would have him back in court before the ink was dry on the police report.

Brit's first husband, Jason Alexander, who she married in Las Vegas on a whim in 2004, was picked up by police on Wednesday and arrested for a probation violation. He's currently hanging out at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, California.

Stemming from a 2006 DUI arrest, Brit's 55-hour hubby was ordered to complete an alcohol education program. A judge sentenced him to 10 days in jail Wednesday after he didn't show up for his appointment at the county morgue. The judge also ordered him to readmit to a six-month alcohol program.

10 days? That's like 5 whole marriages to Brit!

People mag got the inside scoop straight from Kevin Federline's mouth, about what it was like to be married to Britney Spears, how he felt when the mother of his children melted down and had to be hospitalized, and if he still loves her. Check out this excerpt from the interview that's in the new issue on sale Friday.

Do you remember when you first met Britney?
I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph's. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away. I learned real fast how much of a whirlwind the press and everything was.

What are your happiest memories of the marriage?
Well, getting married. I never thought that I would get married but it wound up happening. That was a really, really, happy, exciting moment. I pretty much realized that I was giving my life to her, and I was doing it without question.

What went wrong?
It's hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids, it changes everything. For me, I'd become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored Britney, but my kids are always most important ... I mean, we were having complications. I didn't give her an ultimatum, but I was trying to work stuff out with her, and she didn't even talk to me or anything and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely blindsided.

A lot of people assumed you fought for custody of the kids because of money.
My first question to [my lawyer] was, "Am I ever going to be able to see my children?" I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That's all that mattered. I didn't know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.

How did you react in January when Britney locked herself in the bathroom with Jayden and was later taken to the hospital on a gurney?
That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was very, very worried for her 'cause I care about her. That's the mother of my children. Just because I'm not in love with her doesn't mean that I don't love her. I'm definitely rooting for her. There's nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do.

Are things getting better?
Oh, man, it's totally turning around. It works out that [the kids] get to see her. There's structure over there, there's structure at my house. We're trying to keep the same type of schedule. It doesn't have to be completely perfect, but the foundation is there.

Now tell me, how are we feeling about Kev these days? Good daddy or bad dog?

"It's so sad," she tells Newsweek, breaking into tears.

"I guess it's always changing," she said of the way she's been handling the death of her former love and father of her daughter, Matilda.

"What else can I say?" the actress said after a pause. "I just wake up each day in a slightly different place -- grief is like a moving river, so that's what I mean by 'it's always changing."

"It's a strange thing to say," Michelle continued, "because I'm at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It's just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. In some ways it gets worse. That's what I would say."

Michelle, who is currently starring in the Indie flick Wendy & Lucy, is rumored to be in a relationship with director Spike Jonze, but refused to talk about her romantic life. She did say that she is taking a year off to focus on Matilda, 3.

"I don't want to work while she's in school," she said of her girl. "I want her to have a routine. I want the plainest, simplest, most ordinary, habituated routine possible. I just want to know what's coming next."

Unfortunately, and Michelle probably know this better than anyone, sometimes you just can't predict what's going to happen.

A 30-minute excerpt from For the Record was screened by the press yesterday, and the tidbits that were shown are juicy!  The documentary begins the day after her Brit made a splash on this year's VMAs, and follows her for three months.

Here is some of what you'll hear:

• On Justin Timberlake:
  "With Justin, he was part of the magnitude of what I had become. So when he was gone I was like, What am I supposed to do with myself? I was devastated [by the breakup] but I handled it a lot better than the [split] with Kevin....He started to do an album for himself and he started to do things for himself, and I just never saw him anymore....When it ended I felt so alone. I didn't really wanna think about the reality of it. I never faced it....I just ran."


• On losing it in 2007:
  "My trust has really been battered....Sometimes it can get kinda lonely....I had totally lost my way. I lost focus. I lost myself. I let certain people into my life that were just bad people...because I was lonely....I really paid the consequences for that. Big time....What the hell was I thinking?"


• On the price of fame:
  "At first, it's amazing, the first year or two, because it's like, I'm a celebrity!....It didn't really touch me until I had been working for six years....I wanted to just stop. I wanted to create a new life."


• On how she's feeling currently:
  "Do I know my life is weird? It's all I've ever known. I don't see it as being weird....I'm kind of stuck in this place and I'm like, How do you deal? I just cope with it every day....It's better not to feel anything at all and have hope than to feel the other way....It's bad. I'm sad. It's like [the movie] Groundhog Day every day. It's really boring....Normal is really different for everybody....In my situation, I try to make it as normal as possible for me....It could be a lot worse. There are people out there who have it a lot worse than I do....I used to be a cool chick but I feel like the paparazzi has taken that away from me, like, the way I used to live my life. I used to be a cool chick but I'm not anymore."

Are you excited? Are you going to watch? My answers -- yes and hell, yes.

Sources tell Star mag that the heiress was doing some major flirting with ex boyfriend Stavros Niarchos this weekend in Miami -- while Benji was nowhere to be found.

"Paris and Stavros were all over each other," the witness said. "They were at the same table for about an hour and then they left together. It didn't seem like Benji was on her mind at all!"

Paris was at the Victoria's Secret fashion show earlier in the night, then went off to party at The Fountainbleau hotel, before heading to Mokai where she met up with her old beau.

Check out the photo Star has of Paris and Stavros together -- Par is so giggling like a little school girl.

Uh-oh, Benji...

Jennifer Aniston continues her tour de Brangelina this week, with an appearance on her pal Oprah's show on Thursday.

In the interview, Oprah asks Jen about the interview she gave to Vogue (in which Jen responded to the reporters' questions by admitting she thought Angelina Jolie's bragging about the Brangelina love was "uncool"), to which the Marley and Me star simply says, "I basically just answered it as honestly as I could."

But Jen had nothing but nice things to say about her ex Brad Pitt.

"He's done some amazing things in the last couple of years," everybody's fave Friend said. "So I just think he's doing great."

As for her own love life, Jen says it's better than the world thinks. "I've been unbelievably lucky in love," she tells Ops. "It just might not look the way it's supposed to look at this point."

Jennifer reportedly gets into more detail about boyfriend John Mayer and all those constant pregnancy rumors on Thursday's show.

I'll be watching. You?

Sources were buzzing yesterday that Kevin Federline was going to use Jayden's allergic reaction against Britney Spears, but K-Fed's lawyer says that's not the case.

"We're not going to jump to conclusions right now," Mark Vincent Kaplan told E! Online. "I don't anticipate there being a hearing. I anticipate that Kevin and Britney as concerned parents will exchange information and satisfy themselves that what happened was a freak occurrence and do what they have to do to make sure that it doesn't happen again."

Jayden was hospitalized in Louisiana after ingesting something that caused him to break out in itchy, red hives. Unfortunately it just happened to be the first time Britney was allowed to take her boys out of state since losing custody to Kevin.

"Kevin was considering going to Louisiana (after the hospitalization)," said the attorney, "but the information that we had was Jayden was already checked out. There wasn't an emergency."

The two-year-old was treated and released the next day -- they probably just gave him some Benadryl. Good for Kevin for realizing that and not overreacting -- it could so happen to any parent.

Oh boy, Blabber-ers! I love it when stuff like this goes down.

Jennifer Aniston is on the cover of the new Vogue, and girl isn't holding back about anymore about ex Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and their shoving of their great life down Jen's throat.

When the reporter from the mag first asked Jen about Brangelina, Jen requested he turn off the tape recorder. Then she went on record to say how she felt about Angie recounting how she and Brad fell in love -- while he was still married to Jen.

"There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening," Jen said. "I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss."

Then, shaking her head in disbelief, Jen revealed, "That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."

Um, it kinda was.

As for Brad, the actress says that since they divorced, they have exchanged "a few very kind hellos ... and congratulations on your babies." She stresses that the two "had an amicable split ... The marriage didn't work out."

What about her rekindled relationship with John Mayer?

"Love just shows up," she said.

And if you think that John got away with spilling to the press about his first breakup from Jen, think again.

"Trust me," she said "You'll never see that happen again from that man."

Sounds to me like John is still paying for that one...

Rebecca Romijn, who is expecting twin girls this winter, seems to think she is enormously pregnant. I happen to think she looks pretty damn good.

"I can't move anymore ... I'm a beached whale!" she tells Page Six magazine. "I have not been without a bra this entire pregnancy. I refuse. I'm not taking any chances. I'm determined to keep the puppies up!"

Contrary to recent rumors, Rebecca says that she and hubby, Jerry O'Connell, did not do in vitro to get pregnant.

"A year ago, we tried [the fertility drug] Clomid for a couple of months unsuccessfully," says the actress. "But by the second month, I was like, 'Ahhh! I hate this!' I think when you start messing with your own hormones, it's crazy-making."

As for Jerry, the actress says she can't wait to see him with their daughters. "I knew early on he would be a fantastic dad," she gushed. "He's a pragmatic, smart, savvy, enthusiastic person. He really lives his life with tremendous integrity, and he's a healthy person in every single way.

And what about the rumors that the reason her marriage to John Stamos fell apart was because she didn't want kids?

"There is absolutely no truth to that. That [story] was completely made up," she said. "I desperately wanted kids. I was never a girl who dreamed about what her wedding day would be like, but I've always dreamed about decorating my baby's nursery."

And now she's got two to decorate at once.

Well, the rumors were true! Both Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake showed up to sing with Madonna at her Dodger Stadium concert last night -- unfortunately nobody saw the once-young-lovers together.

Britney took her place with Madge on the third song of the night, "Human Nature," but JT didn't hit the stage until much later, to belt out their hit, "4 Minutes." Sources say that Brit, surrounded by bodyguards, hit the bricks the second Justin's performance was finito, and that there was pretty much no interaction between the two.

Booo, Madonna, booooo.

Is there really anything Madonna can't do?

According to Ryan Seacrest (who basically knows everything that's going everywhere), Madge will be orchestrating the unthinkable reunion of former lovers Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, at her concert in Dodger Stadium Thursday night.

"They are going to be onstage performing with Madonna," Ry said on KIIS-FM host DJ BoyToy Jesse's Wednesday-afternoon show.

Madonna is close with Brit and JT, having worked with both in the last year and there have been rumblings of a Britney/Justin collaboration in the past, but, if anyone can make it happen, it's Madonna.

"If Justin and Britney end up on that stage with her...I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like that before," Ryan said on the radio show.

Me neither -- and I can't wait!

Well, this is interesting. Once upon a time Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray met on the set of One Tree Hill, fell in love and got married. But Chad couldn't keep it in his pants and the couple split after just five months. Now, Chad, who is engaged again to a 19-year-old extra, revealed on a CW morning show that his ex and OTH's other leading man, James Lafferty, are an item.

Well isn't that just a kick in the pants!

There was talk back in April that Sophia and James might have something going on, but all had been quiet on that front-- until now. An insider also told E!'s Kristin Dos Santos that love has absolutely bloomed for these two.

"They're definitely together," a spy from the show blabbed.

I have to admit, I'm a tad bit thrilled about this. Let's just hope it works out a lot better for Sophia this time around.
