5. That rumor about Jon Gosselin and Octomom Nadya Suleman doing a reality show together isn’t true. Former “Cheaters” producer Bobby Goldstein said Jon had agreed to star in a show that would have him dating Nadya, but that was a flat-out lie. Jon denied it and now Nadya is denying it, too. And all those comments she was making about being attracted to Jon? It was all a joke. She says, “No offense to Jon Gosselin, but I’m all about my kids right now. I don’t have time for a man in my life.”

4. Sources say Mariah Carey has been partying hard as a way to deal with the frustration of not being able to get pregnant. They say all that excess alcohol is causing her recent weight gain, and that Nick is demanding that she start cutting back on the partying. He thinks it’s affecting her ability to get pregnant.

3. Miley Cyrus’s fans took it pretty hard when she decided to delete her Twitter account. But one fan is taking it especially hard.  In fact, you could say this fan is maybe a little obsessive about it. She’s threatened to kill her cat if Miley doesn’t reactivate her Twitter by November 19. In fact, she’s soliciting ways to cook cat because in her country, apparently it’s not illegal to do something like that.

2. A couple weeks ago, Lindsay Lohan was threatening her father Michael with a restraining order, and the next week, she’s talking to him on the phone. Michael asked Lindsay’s closest friends to set up the phone call and she agreed. It was a short phone call, but sources say it was extremely hard on Lindsay. The source says, “Lindsay is not in good shape because she’s emotionally broken down by her family.” In fact, Lindsay’s also been estranged from her mother for several months. Lindsay’s upset with Dina’s decision to move forward with this Shoe Han idea after Lindsay specifically told her not to.

1. Friends are afraid Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is on the verge of an emotional breakdown. They say she is devestated after being fired from “Melrose Place” just two months into the season. Despite what producers want us to believe, an insider says, “Ashlee didn’t see it coming, and now she’s crushed… She feels like the rug has been pulled out from under her.” But even before she was fired, Ashlee was having a tough time. A source says she’d been starving herself to look good on TV, and juggling work and motherhood has been taking a toll on her marriage. Pete is said to be frustrated with Ashlee’s obsession with her looks and her career, and friends are afraid she’s about to lose more than just her job.

There are plenty better things we should be arresting the teenagers of America for.

Some Utah teenagers learned a useful lesson: just because you see somebody do something goofy on YouTube doesn’t mean you should try it too. Four teens pulled up to a McDonald’s drive-through window in American Fork, Utah (that’s really the name) and one of them, copying a YouTube video that’s gotten 6.3 million views, rattled off the food order in the form of rap lyrics, like the life of the average McDonald’s employee isn’t tough enough.

The employee obviously didn’t appreciate the show as much the teens did. The worker got the manager involved. The manager was no fan either. And after the rap was repeated, the manager asked the young men to leave but made sure to write down their car’s license plate. The police were called and found the offending teens at the local high school where an officer wrote them up.

400_tablefor12_family_table_tlc_zsmithJon and Kate are out, so welcome the Hayes Family. The “new Gosselins” are being welcomed to TLC.  When everything started going wrong with Jon and Kate Plus 8, TLC immediately found a new family to film. The Hayes’ have 2 sets of twins AND a litter of sextuplets. They are from New Jersey and crew have been filming them since the summer. No announcement yet on when it will air, but the show’s name is Table For 12!
Jon has released an apology to Hailey “My girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, has paid a significant price to live under such a media microscope. I am grateful for her emotional support and I regret any pain that my actions have caused her as she has selflessly born the pressures I have endured under the media glare. I ask you to please give me the opportunity to prove myself.”

He says that he’s also troubled to learn that the media has accepted as true the rumor that he would appear in a show with OctoMom. He says he would never do that and he’s working to change his life. He says being a good role model is of the utmost importance to him and he is working with a Rabbi to find a more spiritual life. He says he even hopes that he will inspire others with his new religious outlook on life. He ends by saying he just wishes the public could be more understanding of how difficult it is living under the public scrutiny that comes with being a celebrity of his level.

A couple getting back together after years apart? Jude Law and Sienna Miller have been spotted out on multiple dinner dates in NYC this past few weeks. They are both living there while starring on separate Broadway productions. They broke up in 2006 after he cheated on Sienna with the nanny while they were engaged. A source adds that people don’t know how close they’ve remained since they were together and they are having fun right now.

Charlie’s Cousin Adam reviews the Michael Jackson film, This Is It.

thisisitRated PG – 1h52 -

Prepare yourself for a Michael Jackson love festival, that will please the fans, but is just a touch too long.

The documentary This Is It is a collection of footage filmed as Jackson was preparing for a series of sold out London concerts that never happened. The footage was supposed to be kept in his personal library.

After hearing the length of the film, I predicted a run time of 1h52 might be a bit too long. Most documentaries need to keep under 90 minutes or they run the risk of repeating themselves. That is also true for This Is It.

On a purely technical level, I can’t say this documentary is anything great. The focus is mostly on Jackson, but it also drifts to the other, less interesting performers in his entourage. They’re just a googly eyed as the fans that scream their heads off at the mere sight of MJ.

What was interesting is something you don’t see. Jackson is not sickly and drugged out. If anything, he’s drunk on his passion for his music.

There is a certain grandiose sort of tragedy to this film. You get to see some excellent behind the scene footage showing Jackson’s persistently striving for perfection. You get to see being a shot caller. You get to see the reason why he’s known to the world as the King of Pop. You also get the feeling that this is the last you ever get to see of him.

I took particular note of some things I consider to be trademarks of a professional performer. 1. Do they keep going even after making a mistake? 2. After stopping in the middle of a song, how quickly can you pick up exactly where you left off. Jackson nails them both.

I feel for the filmmaker in this case. He obviously spent a ton of time prepping the video sequences that were to be used in the concerts. If I were him, I would have demanded that this film be made just so somebody could watch them.

I can’t say I felt any more for Jackson after watching This Is It. I knew he was a great musician. I knew he was a professional. I knew the guy had moves.

I guess the film achieved its goal, because I still wish I’d be able to see more of him. That’s a true professional. Always leave them wanting more.

Phone HomeYou may have noticed that in life there are lots of things that run a very slim line between being creepy and being cute.  I’ve developed a totally fun game that is especially awesome when played with celebrity subjects…and now, “Creepy or Cute?”

Octo-mom had her eye on Jon Gosselin and she just might get him! In the world of ridiculous reality TV plots, this one might be the worst. Jon has agreed to star in a new show in which he will date Octomom Nadya Suleman. The producer of the show “Cheaters” is the one who came up with this idea and both parties have agreed to be a part of it. The pilot is going to be called, “Jon – Kate = Jon + Octomom”,will follow Jon as he contemplates what hooking up with Octomom could really be like. He’s totally creeped out by the idea that if they got married, they’d have 22 kids. Even weirder is Octomom’s storyline. She is going to have an obsession with him and talk openly about wanting to marry him. Sources say Jon is desperate for fame and fortune and he will literally do anything to get it.

An exotic dancer has stepped forward and said that she had an affair with Fergie husband Josh Duhamel. The woman, Nicole Forrester is claiming that Josh was in Atlanta filming a movie when he came into her club and told her she was hot. He proceeded to invite her to his 820/night hotel room to spend the night. She supposedly passed a polygraph with her story, however Josh caught wind of this and is outright denying everything. His rep says that this is common for magazines to pay strippers money to claim they slept with an actor and this is exactly what happened.

The burglary ring we talked about a little bit ago seems to be much bigger than people thought. These 19 and 20 year olds who robbed stars like Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge had gotten away with many more robberies and had an extensive plan to rob more. After investigating them, 8 have been arrested and all are going to be charged with various felonies. The robbers got away with stealing a gun from Brian Austin Green’s home as well as Megan Fox’s tshirts. They also have arial views of 50 more homes including, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Jessica Biel and Britney Spears. It’s looking like these kids were rather professional and will be facing some serious jail time!

5. In an interview airing on “The Insider” tonight and Friday, 22-year-old Hailey Glassman talks about her relationship with Jon Gosselin, saying he’s emotionally abusive and doesn’t know why she even loves him. Hailey says, “‘He’ll call me and take his anger out on me. He has ‘mantrums.’  I shouldn’t have to put up with being emotionally abused.” Hailey also says Jon “has trouble with the truth… he will dance and dance around his lies. He’s like Jekyll and Hyde.”

4. They are REALLY official now. Taylor Swift has introduced Taylor Lautner to her mom. The three of them went to dinner Monday night at Bistro Garden in Studio City. They didn’t seclude themselves in a private booth, either. They sat right out in the middle of the main dining room and witnesses say they all seemed to be getting along great. And sources say Boy Taylor was a complete gentleman and picked up the tab.  Yesterday Taylor Squared spent the day in Beverly Hills, grabbing a bite to eat at Chris Steakhouse before heading to Robertson to shop at Alice & Olivia. They’re trying to squeeze in as much time together as possible while they both have a little break from their super-busy careers.

3. Pete Wentz is more than just friends with Gabe Saporta — he’s also the boss at Cobra Starship’s record label. So Pete made a bet with Gabe that if “Good Girls Go Bad” went platinum, he would get a tattoo of anything Gabe picked out. And Gabe picked a portrait of himself with the inscription “Gabey Baby made me go bad” and it’s now permanently inkied on Pete’s calf.  There’s another bet on the table if Cobra’s CD “Hot Mess” goes gold, but they’re keeping that one under wraps for now.

2. Kim Kardashian is already planning her wedding to Reggie Bush. They broke up over the summer and rumors were flying around that both of them had cheated. But they’ve worked all that out and now Kim’s got major wedding brain. Sources say it will happen early next year, after football season wraps up in February, and that cameras will definitely be present. One source says Kim has always seen herself as the superstar of the family, and there’s no way she’s going to let herself be out-shined by Khloe and Kourtney, who’ve been stealing the headlines with a wedding and an unplanned pregnancy. The source says, “Kim’s all for sharing the wealth and fame — as long as she’s the wealthiest and most famous.”

1. According to the “National Enquirer,” Josh Duhamel cheated on his wife Fergie with a stripper. I refuse to believe this story, but it’s what’s being gossiped about right now…so here you go:  Josh has been in Atlanta filming a movie and earlier this month, he and a buddy stopped by an all-nude club called Tattletales. That’s where Josh met Nicole Forrester — stage name, “Delilah.” She claims that after they knocked back a few vodkas together, Josh and his buddy hired her to do a little dance for them. Before the guys left, she and Josh exchanged phone numbers. A few days later, he invited her to his suite at the St. Regis hotel, and she says the two of them pretended it was their wedding night. The Enquirer says they did pay Nicole for her story, but added that she passed a rigorous lie detector test.

johnmayerrashidaMaybe John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston aren’t together after all. Apparently John has been hanging out with Rashida Jones (The Office).  They were both at the Chateau Marmont having dinner Friday night where John played an acoustic set. Then last night they arrived at a Gala, 45 minutes LATE. Though they came together, she entered through the front and he snuck around backstage. Both of them performed at the event as well!

Tennis star Andre Agassi has a new book out next week and it has a serious surprise in it. He admits that in the late 90’s he started using crystal meth regularly even while he was playing tennis professionally. A sports journalist actually tweeted the secret yesterday then quickly erased it. The memoir called, “Open”, details his drug use, hair loss, and marriages to Brooke Shields and Steffi Graf. Agassi says he was worried about his fans would react to the knowledge of his crystal meth addiction but he wanted to tell the story.

Have you heard these rumors about the Jonas Brothers breaking up? Well ever since Nick branched out and started his side project called Nick Jonas and the Administration, there has been speculation that they brothers are done! Well they are denying it and gave a statement saying that they “plan on making music together for as long as they can”. That doesn’t sound too reassuring though. Kevin is getting married this winter to top it off so they seem to be going their separate ways. They wrote a letter to their fans saying, “A three-chord strand is not easily broken, and one thing’s for sure… this three chord strand is stronger now than it’s ever been. You are truly the best fans in the world, and we love you with all our hearts.”
