Recently in rumor mill Category
Sorry Megan Fox lovers, your girl won't be slipping into a slinky, black catsuit anytime soon. Well, at least not for the Catwoman movie.
According to Warner Bros.,"It's rumor. It's not true," said a studio rep. "There is no script. There is no project to be cast in."
Though Megan would look fabu all sexed-out and purring -- just like the former kitties, Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry -- it's just not happening right now.
Who would be great as the next Catwoman?
Finally putting all the clothing line rumors to rest, Ed Hardy designer, Christian Audigier, says that he is not collaborating with Jon Gosselin on a children's clothing.
"I never said I was going to do a line with Jon Gosselin. I don't want to do a line with Jon Gosselin."
The designer simply says he knew of Jon from TV, knew he was wearing a lot of Ed Hardy clothes, and heard he was looking for a job.
"I just invite him because I see him on the Jon & Kate show asking for job. So I was curious to see what he was asking people for which kind of job."
Christian did say that Jon is very interested in his motorcycles -- and that maybe there would be some sort of deal there in the future.
"He is really into bikes, so he want to do something around bikes so he can be the spokesperson for one of my brands on bikes."
As for Jon's trip to St. Tropez to meet Christian, Ed Hardy's main man said he thought Jon's girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, was on the payroll.
"He told me he was coming with his stylist. It appeared his stylist was Hailey. A week after, I discovered those two guys were together. I didn't even know that Jon and Kate were not together."
On the other hand, Christian says that he was very interested in going into business with Michael Jackson -- which obviously isn't going to happen now.
"I invited him to my birthday," he said of MJ. "And he showed up. It was his last public appearance. He was testing [the public mood about him] at my party. So we became friends. He told me one day he would like to collaborate with me on a collection."
That's right -- Michael Jackson, yes -- Jon Gosselin, NO!
That really shouldn't hurt Jon's feelings -- but this should.
Eric Dane's third wheel in his naked non-sex tape with Rebecca Gayheart, Kari Ann Peniche, just signed a deal with Christian to design swimwear.
Ouch.
The American Idol drama continues...
This week, fans were growing worried at the prospect of Victoria Beckham replacing Paula Abdul fulltime next season. Although she has been a guest judge in the last two audition cities, she is definitely not looking to replace Paula.
Victoria's representative addressed the rumors today, telling E! News that, "She is not in talks to join the show permanently."
Every day it's something else with this show. Remember when it was actually a singing competition? Ah, the good days.
Sarah Palin's family life is making headlines again.
The new issue of Star Magazine reveals some personal details about Sarah's marriage with Todd Palin. Apparently, though they may seem like the perfect couple on the outside, they're actually on the brink of divorce.
"Sarah and Todd are fighting all the time," Mercede Johnston, who is Levi Johnston's sister, spilled. "When they do, Todd often ends up sleeping on the couch at their home in Wasilla."
Mercede swears her information is true, as it was passed down to her from Levi, Bristol Palin's ex boyfriend. "Bristol used to tell Levi that her parents would argue and bicker over the littlest things, like who was supposed to take out the trash or wash the dishes."
Ooh, bickering over household chores. Scandalous.
"If they ended their marriage within the next year, I wouldn't be surprised at all," Mercede says, "It really seems to me their marriage is just a sham for the cameras now!"
I'm going to take this one with a grain of salt considering Mercede is probably totally biased after all the baby drama that's been going down between Bristol and Levi. What do you think?
Since Michael Jackson's sudden passing, the whole Jackson clan has found themselves back on the cover of every tabloid.
This week, someone close to La Toya Jackson told Usmagazine.com that she has been asked to compete on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars.
"[La Toya is] in serious discussions to join the show," the source revealed.
Apparently, the bigwigs at Dancing With the Stars are 100% serious about featuring La Toya, and now they are waiting for her final decision. Lou Ferrigno, Michael Jackson's former trainer, has also been confirmed for the show's upcoming season. I'm detecting a theme, here...
"She's a big fan of the show, and being from a musical family, it would be a good fit," La Toya's rep explained.
Janet Jackson has serious dance skills, but La Toya? Hmm...intriguing!
So much for their big romantic night in D.C.
Bradley Cooper's people are shooting down rumors that he and Jennifer Aniston met up for an intimate dinner in the nation's Capitol.
"It didn't happen, they were not there together," Brad's rep said of the date. "Bradley was there on a stop-over from his USO tour."
So, if Jen isn't dating Brad, and she's not dating the smoking hot Gerard Butler (have you seen The Ugly Truth? My goodness!), is she getting any love from anywhere?
Seems like such a waste!
The man behind Sarah Palin isn't going anywhere.
Despite reports that the ex Alaskan Governor is splitting from her husband, Todd Palin, Sarah's peeps say that rumors of infidelity on both parts and an impending divorce are all false.
"No truth to any of the rumors," Sarah's rep wrote in an e-mail to People. "No divorce. No affairs. No land in Montana. Nothing! All lies and fabrications!"
A different source who saw the couple late last month says that they looked "as happy as ever."
It's just talk for now -- but usually where there's smoke there's fire.
Ugh!
It's possible that Heidi and Spencer Pratt have already begun to procreate.
The reality TV media whores where photographed shopping for baby clothes at LA's Kitson store yesterday, while Spencer rubbed (gag!) Heidi's belly.
So possibly a publicity stunt, considering who we are talking about, but I cringe at even the thought.
Oh, Gerard!
Gerard Butler is battling the Jennifer Aniston romance rumors by doing what he does best -- making them worse.
"Conan [O'Brien] asked me about Aniston, who is my costar in the movie I'm making now, and I just said, 'Yeah, we're getting married. What the hell," the actor told Parade magazine.
"Tell a joke, that's my technique," he continues. "I learned as a kid how to stay out of trouble: make it funny."
But, just so you know, Jen isn't the only one he's looking to walk down the aisle with.
"I'm careful to also say that I'm marrying Cameron Diaz and maybe Joan Rivers," The Ugly Truth star said. "I like to tell everyone I'm going to be a busy guy."
That would be some team, huh? When you throw Joan Rivers into the mix, it's not even funny to joke about.
How is Gerard Butler handling the madness that comes along to being romantically linked to Jennifer Aniston?
With a sense a humor -- for the most part.
"It depends what mood I'm in, [but] most of the time I just laugh it off," the gorgeous actor told UsMagazine.com at the NYC premiere of The Ugly Truth Thursday night.
"The first few times it's happened, I actually got really upset by it because you think, 'somebody made that up,' and it's a little bit ridiculous. But then you think, 'Oh, you know what...it's just silly. Then there are days it just frustrates you," he said. "One day, we had dinner when we first discussed the movie, and that day she had been linked to three different people! I was already one of them."
Gerard also says that Jen has managed to still find the humor in all the rumors, and that she "completely laughs" at all the talk that they are dating.
"Listen, there's nobody that's been more subject to these rumors than her, so I think she's just learned to...most of the time, you can blow it off," he said.
Still, there does seem to be a mutual affection between these two.
"She's like my best buddy," he said. "She's so down-to-earth, so easy going. She's incredibly self-deprecating and again, just alive! I'm having fun doing this!
"I'm lucky right now!" he went on. "Little boy from Scotland did good!"
Friendship often turns to romance -- especially on movie sets -- so don't count these two out just yet.
To go with that big shiny rock of hers, The Real Housewives of New York's Bethenny Frankel has snagged a brand new reality show of her own!
Or so says the New York Post.
According to the paper, Bethenny will be starring in Skinny & the City, which will follow the chef around as she plans her wedding to Jason Hoppy.
Bravo has no comment on the rumors of this new show, but we're going to say that it's probably happening.
Do you think Bethenny can carry her own series? Will you watch?
I'm already sick of Jon Gosselin and his new girlfriend -- and we've only known about her for like 3 days.
Interestingly enough she's managed to get herself on the cover of the new People -- and she's managed to get Jon talking all about her.
"Hailey and I have been family friends for several years and only very recently began dating," Jon reveals to the mag. "What began as friendship has grown into something more. I genuinely enjoy spending time with her. It's nice to be with someone who I can confide in and trust and who accepts me for who I am." Can someone say "ouch!"? Jon is also trying to make us believe that he is slightly tortured by the media attention poor little Hailey is going to get by dating someone of his reality TV caliber. "I know that my decision to appear publicly with Hailey this weekend will be scrutinized, but I hope that people can see I'm a regular guy who is going through a very difficult time in [my] life and wants to move forward." And FYI, though In Touch is saying that Jon & Hailey are talking marriage already, the soon-to-be designer says it's really not that serious. "No. We're just having a cool time and enjoying each other," Jon said. The words "enjoying each other" makes me throw up a little in mouth.
UPDATE: A "source" for E! Online says that Jon has actually bought a ring for Hailey and the two are engaged -- but, of course, it's all totally on the down-low.
Right!
"They're engaged but nobody is allowed to say. They've been warned to keep it secret," the very-trusty insider said.
Take this whole thing with a grain of salt, people. Until we see Kate shopping for eight little ring bearer outfits, I won't be holding my breath.
There have been all these crazy rumors that Disney star Raven-Symone was hiding a pregnancy -- and some say even a baby -- but the actress' rep would like to put all that talk to rest.
"Raven-Symoné is not pregnant nor did she give birth," her rep told People.com.
So, there you have it -- no scandal here. No hidden pregnancy, no hidden baby, just lots of crazy talk. Carry on.
I'm pretty sure we don't need a sonogram photo to confirm Jennifer Hudson's pregnancy.
Though the singer has yet to address rumors that she and fiancé David Otunga are expecting their first child, I think it's safe to assume that there is, in fact, a baby on the way.
From this shot of Jen from Michael Jackson's public memorial on Tuesday, it could be construed that Usher is the baby's daddy -- but that would just be a silly rumor that we started.
Shhh -- pass it on.
Could there be a Melrose Place wedding in the works? One that won't end up with the bride in the pool?
Former MP costars Jack Wagner and Heather Locklear may just have taken a big step, as Heather has been seen sportin' some kind of sparkler on her ring finger.
But the actress has been seen without the ring, as well -- especially when she knows she is going to a place where the paparazzi are swarming. So, is this just her way of trying to keep some engagement news under wraps?
"She's in it for the long haul with Jack. Their friends know their future is together," a friend of the couple told People.com. "But they're not officially engaged."
Heather's publicist has also denied that she and Jack are walking down the aisle -- but it's clear that things are going extremely well for the couple.
"They're having so much fun. They just had a really fun trip to New York together, and they have plans for over the summer. They're just enjoying being together," said the insider. "Things are great between Heather and Richie [Sambora, Locklear's ex-husband] too, and Jack and Richie. It could not be a more healthy situation for everyone."
And what about Heather's daughter, Ava? Is she liking having Jack around?
"Jack and Ava seemed to get along great, and at one point they even ganged up on Heather and made her blush by telling a funny story about her," added a witness. "Heather was in a great mood. They all seemed to be having the best time."
It definitely sounds like a wedding could be in the future for these two. I just hope Kimberly doesn't show up and pull off her hair. I hate when that happens.
Leave it to Star to break "the news" that Britney Spears is getting ready to walk down the aisle with her agent-turned-boyfriend, Jason Trawick.
The tabloid is splashing Brit and Jason on the cover of their new issue -- and even giving details to what the proposal was like.
"He didn't exactly get down on one knee, but Brit didn't care. She said yes, and they opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate," an insider reportedly told the mag. "Jason held Britney for a long time and kissed her cheeks. They talked about their future for hours and didn't go to sleep until after 3 a.m.! They just wanted to be alone together."
Um, ok. Too bad another source told People.com that it's all bunk. "There's no truth to it at all. Britney is not engaged."
Don't be running out to Bed, Bath & Beyond just yet -- but, knowing Brit, she could have a new hubby sooner than later.
Not that you would ever believe anything the National Enquirer says -- unless you're in to alien babies and what-not, but, just to be clear, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not breaking up.
The Enquirer is reporting that the Jolie-Pitts were going to announce an "official" split, and were about to face an "ugly court battle" over their $200 million fortune and custody of their six children. The rag says Brad and Angie had a huge fight at the Cannes premiere of Brad's new flick, Inglourious Basterds.
"They had lots of fun and looked so in love," a witness at the premiere refuted. "At one point, they were dancing."
A rep for the couple says the rumors of a split are "completely not true."
Another Brangie insider concurs, "They have their fights and moments, but generally things are good. They are happy -- and Brad loves being a father!"
All is well is Jolie-Pitt world, friends. No worries.
So many stories, so little time.
Other than what we do know for sure -- that Jon & Kate Gosselin are not exactly spending quality family time together these days -- there are tons of different rumors out there about what went on and what is still going between these two. Here's a quick look at the latest rumblings on the couple:
- Us Weekly says that Kate gave Jon a daily allowance of $5 -- and, if he spent it and needed more, she went nuts. That seems a little unlikely -- how could he possibly find anything today for less than $5? He certainly couldn't go to Starbucks. Maybe he was eating off the dollar menu at Mickey Ds.
- Kate's brother is jumping on the trash-talking bandwagon and is reportedly looking to sell his take on his sister's family to the right media outlet -- for $30,000. Kevin Kreider and his wife, "Aunt Jodi", have already appeared on CBS' Early Show, where they had the nerve to say that Jon & Kate were exploiting their family. Okay, kettle.
- A source has told Star magazine that the Gosselin's troubles are greatly affecting their eight kids . "The boys have been acting out since the scandal started," the insider said. Also, Mady and Cara, 8, have become withdrawn. "They're having trouble at school," says the source. "They're old enough to know what's going on, and not a day goes by that they don't ask Jon if he's moving out. They say, 'Daddy, don't go!' They're scared they'll lose him." Heartbreaking.
- The very trustworthy (not) National Enquirer is reporting that Jon & Kate are headed for a $10 million divorce. "Jon said their goal is to be legally separated by July 15 because Kate wants to move on quickly," an insider reveals. "Jon is going to push for half of their money, but Kate is determined to hang on to as much as she can -- and they're worth more than you think... Needless to say, there's a small fortune at stake here -- easily $10 million. And Jon and Kate will be fighting over it like cats and dogs!"
- Kate's writing a new cookbook! Love Is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories is due in stores Oct. 13, 2009 -- but some people already have a problem with it. Commenters on Amazon.com are saying that Kate can't cook, and that she's stealing recipes from "product boxes and magazine articles." These people have nothing better to do with themselves, obviously.
So, there you have it -- you're all caught up. Let's not talk about them for at least the next 10 minutes.
So, is Adam Lambert gay?
"Calm down," the American Idol runner-up says about wanting to know about his sexual preference, and "keep speculating."
Really, though, who cares?! It doesn't change the fact that he is super talented and different, and, most importantly, comfortable in his own skin.
"It's a really, really cool thing," Adam said, "to be able to show people that you can be yourself, and you should be proud of yourself, and you should own who you are and what you're about, and never make apologies for it."
The singer, who could possibly be making music with Queen in the future, loves the idea of being someone to look up to.
"It feels really amazing to be able to try and pass that on to kids and young adults who don't have a role model like that," he says. "It feels great because I never had a role model like that."
"Conforming is not cool," he adds. "Embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what's really cool ... The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are."
It really doesn't matter to me but, as for whether or not he'll ever put all the speculation to rest and address his sexuality, the glam rocker simply says, "Maybe."
That's right, Adam, let 'em stew.
Madonna's most recent companion, Jesus Luz, says that he and the singer are not picking out china patterns, like we all think.
"She is a person who I admire a lot, a friend who is in my life," the model told the Brazilian TV show Fantastico. "More than that, I can't say. She is my friend, just a friend."
Madge's new "friend" does say that he was immediately taken with the Material Girl, after they did a photo shoot together.
"I found her wonderful, a person full of positive energy, a nice person, you don't see faults," he gushed.
But Jesus says talks of a Kabbalah wedding for him and Madge have also been blown way out of proportion, and photos of him buying jewelry doesn't mean he's popping the question.
"I received these pieces of jewelry because they are inspired by Kabbalah," he explained. "If I want to present them to somebody, it could be my mother or a friend of mine. I don't have any marriage plans or any wedding present."
Thank goodness! The last thing Madonna needs right now is another husband.
Likes like wedding bells may be ringing for cutie Orlando Bloom and gal pal Miranda Kerr.
Photos that were taken last night in Cannes, show the supermodel wearing what looks like an engagement ring on her finger. Annnnnndddddd, Miranda flew to France, just for one night, to be with her honey, before turning around heading back to New York.
So, what does the lovely lady's rep have to say?
"I am aware of the images. However, I am not in a position to comment," Carlii Lyon, told People.com.
Hmmmm...
Why do people have to be so stupid?
Some jackass at a Florida radio station started a rumor that Patrick Swayze succumbed to pancreatic cancer this morning -- but we can all relax -- our Johnny Castle has not gone anywhere.
"This is to confirm that Patrick Swayze did not pass away this morning contrary to severely reckless reports stemming from a radio station in Jacksonville, Florida," says the actor's rep, Annett Wolf. "Patrick Swayze is alive, well and is enjoying his life and he continues to respond to treatment."
Certain things are just plain evil. This is one of them.
The usually very quiet Natalie Portman is speaking up -- and out -- against the nasty rumors that she and Sean Penn are getting it on.
"Sean Penn is a friend and colleague," the actress told UsMagazine.com. "The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue."
First Star reported that the pair were seen making out at a hotel in Hollywood in March, then the New York Post reported that Nat and Sean were just recently "cavorting."
"I normally do not respond to rumors about my private life, however, this repeatedly fabricated story has forced me to do so," Nat added to her statement.
Sean filed for legal separation from wife Robin Wright Penn at the end of April, while Natalie broke off her relationship with rocker Devendra Banhart last September.
But I believe Natalie -- you?
This story cracked me up!
A tabloid from Vienna is reporting that Beyonce, who had performed in concert there Tuesday night, skipped out on a scheduled visit to a fancy art museum to go shopping instead.
But here's the kicker; the rag says B sent a look-a-like in her place -- who even posed for photos with the museum's director!
Needless to say, the art people were a bit perturbed.
"What a cheek," Albertina spokeswoman Verena Dahlitz told the Austrian news agency APA. "We were a little doubtful yesterday, but weren't really sure. It could have been her."
This story is so ridiculous. They weren't sure if it was her or not? I can't wait to hear Beyonce's response to this!
UPDATE: I knew this was too good to be true. It turns out Beyonce didn't send a look-alike to the Vienna museum -- a local radio staion did as a joke!
"We were fooled," admitted the museum's director."We must be the most important museum in Vienna, because they chose us."
At least it makes a little more sense now.
So, despite what everyone is saying, John Mayer insists he is still single and ready to mingle.
When asked by paparazzi this weekend about the rumors that he is seeing actress/waitress Scheana Marie, John let us down by giving nothing up.
"If I had a girlfriend, she would be incredibly offended by me saying, 'I don't have a girlfriend,'" John told the photogs.
Trying to drive his point home, the always-charming John asked an older woman in a passing car to be his girl -- then sweetened the deal with nice kiss! Such a Casanova!
But why wasn't I driving in Santa Monica this weekend?
Eyebrows were raised this weekend when Justin Timberlake partied at Kate Hudson's birthday bash sans girlfriend Jessica Biel.
So, is it over for the couple who have been inseparable for almost two years?
No way, says a source close to J&J. "They have not split," the friend said.
Another pal concurred, "Things are very good with them. They do things separately sometimes."
I get that. My hubby and I do things separately all the time. It's healthy to have your own friends. Maybe that's why Jess and Justin are doing so well.
It was just too quiet on the Angelina baby front...
Here we go again! Star magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are expecting. An insider tells the mag that Angie is knocked up, with what will be their seventh child.
"Yes, Angie is pregnant," a family insider tells Star. "They'd been trying for another baby for months, but it was still a total shock when she found out. Brad and Angie have been fighting so much lately, it just didn't seem possible."
Especially since Star just reported that they were sleeping in separate bedrooms after Angie caught Brad comforting the nanny.
"It happened just in time, because things were getting pretty ugly between them," says one source.
The mag says Angie is about two and a half months along and is just over the moon at the thought of another little one.
"She's thrilled. She said she knew she was pregnant before the test confirmed it!" Star's source said.
I don't know, peeps. You have to take this with a very big grain of salt.
People have been buzzing that Chris Brown has moved on to a new woman.
Multiple reports stated that Chris is getting over Rihanna with Girlicious singer Natalie Mejia -- after the two of them were photographed together on Saturday at West Hollywood tattoo parlor Tattoo Mania.
Not so, says Chris' peeps.
"Chris was in a Hollywood tattoo parlor with a woman from the recording studio named Dean, who was getting a tattoo. (Chris did not get a tattoo)," the singer's rep told People.com. Natalie Mejia was there with Dean. [Reports in other media] that Natalie Mejia is Chris' new girlfriend are also false.
A source close to Natalie confirms that the rumors are all talk.
"They met recently. They're friends. That's it," the insider said of Chris and Nat.
So, what's the latest on Chris and Ri?
They had decided to spend some time apart, but spies say they were together this past weekend.
Hmmmm.
Would you watch American Idol is Simon Cowell wasn't a judge? Well, you may have to ponder that sometime soon.
According to The Mirror, something may need to give for my sharp-tongued honey -- and it could be Idol.
"Most people do one show a year and I do three and they involve a lot of traveling. One may have to go," Simon told the paper on Saturday. "I don't know which one. That is the problem, I like all of them. I can't imagine not doing Britain's Got Talent and I can't imagine not doing X Factor. But I guess America is more likely to go because I have got one year under contract. Maybe that will be the end."
According to the paper, Simon is back and forth from Britain to Los Angeles twice a week during the summer to keep up with all his shows. Talk about racking up some frequent flyer miles.
"I don't want to come over as whiney because I am very grateful that I have got these jobs," he said. "But there is a point where I am not sure we can keep this schedule up. It takes longer and longer to make these shows because you have to put more into them, and I am not sure we can sustain me doing three shows a year, with the record label and the TV production company."
And it doesn't help that Simon is said to be launching "big new show next year," in which the deets are top secret.
You know, I say I wouldn't watch if Simon wasn't on, but I also say every year that I'm not going to get sucked in again -- and there I am, every week, stressing over who's getting voted off. But they would definitely need to throw me some sort of sexy replacement to ease my pain over Simon, if he actually left. What's George Clooney doing these days?
Say it isn't so!
Sources close to Lindsay Lohan say the actress and girlfriend Samantha Ronson broke up on Friday -- and that Sam had the locks changed on their house!
"This time, Sam means it," the source said of the split.
UsMagazine.com is reporting that the girls had a big fight at a party for Sam's sister, fashion-designer Charlotte Ronson, at West Hollywood's Bar Marmont.
"[Sam] told security to look out for Lindsay and block her from getting in," an insider blabbed. "Lindsay, of course...booked a room at [the hotel] Chateau and fully intended to crash the party and make a scene."
When Lindsay finally gave up trying to get in, she wrote on Twitter, "So-you win, you broke my heart. now go away. i loved you."
But when asked about the breakup via email, LiLo denied any trouble in paradise. "Oy vey. lol. Not true. hahahaha," she told the mag.
Lindsay Lohan is SUCH a drama queen. I can't really take her anymore -- I don't know how Sam does.
Update: Linds finally admitted to the split, telling E! News, "We are taking a brief break so I can focus on myself."
