5. Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney was attacked on a flight from Vancouver to LA Monday, and now we finally know who his attacker was. The mystery man is one of the guys from LMFAO — Sky Blu! He says it all started when he leaned his seat back while the plane was still on the tarmac and Mitt — who was sitting behind him — started yelling at him to put his seat back up. Sky apparently didn’t react quickly enough, and he says that’s when Mitt reached forward and grabbed his shoulder. And that’s when Sky slapped his hand away. Almost immediately, authorities boarded the plane and escorted Sky Blu off the plane. Another guy in LMFAO got it all on tape.
4. Whitney Houston’s family is worried about her. They think she’s too fragile to handle a worldwide comeback tour and they begged her to postpone it, but Whitney refused. A source says she stumbled through the tour’s kick-off concert in Seoul, South Korea, and then collapsed backstage. A source says during the concert, Whitney was absolutely exhausted — wheezing through her songs and sweating profusely. She even tripped over her own feet. After the concert, she walked backstage, braced herself against a wall and screamed for water. She admitted then that she didn’t know if she could make it through the tour.
3. If you think Lil Wayne’s attorney was making up that story about him needing dental work done to put off doing jail time, he most definitely was not. Lil Wayne sat in the dentist’s chair for EIGHT HOURS on Tuesday, where he had eight root canals done at one time! Several tooth implants had to be redone and more implants were added, while the few real teeth he has left were repaired. The judge allowed Lil Wayne to postpone going to jail until March 2 so he could get all this dental work done. He will serve a year for felony attempted gun possession, but could get out after 9 months for good behavior.
2. Behind the scenes drama during NY Fashion Week. Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were there to promote his Clandestine Industries clothing line, but a source says Ashlee was less than friendly. At the after-party, Ashlee refused to come down from her room unless she was assured all media were out. So all press were dis-invited, after they had been invited to begin with, and Ashlee refused to be photographed. Nicole Richie and Joel Madden almost didn’t make it to this after-party because a clueless person at the door didn’t recognize Nicole. A source says when Nicole got to the door, the PR girl said, “Who are you? You’re not on the list.” Joel came to her rescue, explaining who Nicole was and the rest of the PR team immediately sprung into damage control mode. Once they were inside, Nicole and Joel hooked up with Pete and Ashlee and they spent the rest of the night in a private room.
1. The PGA has finally confirmed what we all knew anyway — Tiger Woods did go to rehab and he will address it during his a press conference at the PGA’s Florida headquarters today. An alleged transcript of Tiger’s public apology hit the internets yesterday, but his reps say it wasn’t real. What we hear he WILL say while reading his prepared statement is that he’s sorry for what he’s done to his wife, his family and his fans and that he’s going back to sex rehab!! Reportedly, Tiger was just taking a break to spend some time with his kids and make this public statement. After that, he’s going right back for more therapy. We also hear that Tiger has been begging his wife Elin to be by his side today. The two of them had dinner together Tuesday and Wednesday nights, but at that point, she was still telling him no. Tiger and his people believe from an image standpoint, it would be better for Elin to be with him today. A source says, “People are going to be a lot more receptive to his apology if they see his wife has accepted his apology.”
