Michaele Salahi Underwear Auctioned Off By Tareq; Neal Schon Buys Her $10K in New Lingerie

Tareq Salahi asked for this one.

His estranged wife may be a groupie slut, but she's got a rock star doting on her. Michaele Salahi's boyfriend Neal Schon just dropped more than $10,000 on lingerie for her during a Beverly Hills shopping spree this week.

Why did he do such a thing? Well, she had none left, seeing as ...

OH YEAH: Neal is gonna be making that face a lot more after this.

Tareq sold off all her underwear and bras at an auction in a totally classy move not designed to get any publicity whatsoever. So much for their public truce.

Neal and Michaele hit up La Perla - a ridiculously expensive lingerie boutique on Rodeo Drive - this weekend. The Journey guitarist spent $10,496.55 there.

That got her 42 bras and 38 sets of panties ... at approximately $130 per item.

Sometimes it pays to be a groupie slut ... who rubs it in her husband's face.

Julianne Hough Sizzles in Shape

Julianne Hough knows how to cut Footloose ... and stay in Shape.

Her workout secrets? Trying hard, but not depriving herself either.

"I feel sexy when I'm taking care of myself," she says. "I vary workouts every day because, otherwise, I get bored. I always try to run for 20-40 minutes on the beach first. Six days a week is fantastic, but four is great, too."

The former Dancing With the Stars pro loves to stay active other times, too:

"Rollerblading is a serious leg workout! When I have a day off, I want to be outside-unless I'm on my bed with my dogs watching an SVU marathon!"

"I grew up mountain biking in Utah, and I've been doing it a lot more recently since working in Miami. I crave danger. I find going fast exhilarating!"

"I adore snowboarding, skiing and skydiving."

That explains the 23-year-old's defined legs and abs. Did we mention she can sing, dance and act, too? Suffice it to say, Ryan Seacrest is a lucky individual.



Giuliana Rancic Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Giuliana Rancic has cancer.

The E! personality had an announcement to make during a Monday appearance on Today, which we expected to be a joyous one: That she was pregnant at last.

That made the actual announcement all the more heartbreaking. "I have early stage breast cancer," the 37-year-old told Today host Ann Curry, adding that her doctor made the frightening discovery back in August as she was about to begin IVF.

Rancic explained that her doctor sternly insisted that she get a mammogram before going through with the third IVF treatment. That might have saved her life.

The star, who said she has no family history of breast cancer, "wasn't prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old," she admitted.

"I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong."

When the hospital called a few days later to tell her the shocking news, Rancic says she was "sobbing... It was like the world just crashed around me."

Prince Harry Throws it Down in San Diego

There was no daring pool party rescue required this time, but Prince Harry still had an eventful night out Saturday at the Belly Up Tavern in Solona Beach, Calif.

"He was here!" Meryl Klemow, Belly Up's manager says, adding that Harry showed up around 9 p.m. with about ten folks, including two "very attractive" young women around his age, neither of whom were "romantic" with Harry or anyone else.

Ladies everywhere, you may now exhale.

The Royal Hunk

Although Harry and his pals drank beer and tequila, the real agenda of the night was music! "He was watching the bands and really loved the music," Klemow said.

"It seems like Harry and his cohorts were taking a long time to drink their drinks. He was mostly just enjoying the music and drinking was more a side thing."

"He seemed very jovial and joking around and he is a very good dancer. He has some good moves, and whoever taught him to dance did a good job!"

Although most of Harry's two months in the states will be devoted to military training, he will have a few more chances to let loose in the coming weeks.

The single prince split with Chelsy Davy earlier this year.

Sesame Street YouTube Page Hacked, Replaced With Porn Clips

As if kids these days don't have enough exposure to X-rated material, someone hijacked Sesame Street's YouTube page and reprogrammed it with X-rated videos.

Christopher Chaney is not believed to be one of the perv hacker(s).

For a brief period Sunday, the show page for the popular kids’ series was overrun by porn hackers who made it display highly sexual videos instead. Yikes.

Bert and Ernie

BERT & ERNIE: This photo has nothing to do with the story you're reading here. But in other Sesame Street news, they are apparently just friends, in case you were curious.

The page was immediately taken down, and the site instead told users it was briefly offline “due to repeated or severe violations of our community guidelines.”

An apology was issued shortly thereafter.

“Our channel was compromised and we are presently working with YouTube/Google to restore our original content,” Sesame Workshop said in a statement.



On the Puss in Boots Red Carpet With Antonio Banderas & Salma Hayek: Two Cool Cats!

Who would win in a fight, Puss in Boots or Zorro?

It's an age-old question, and one that our partners at Movie Fanatic had the pleasure of asking in person this weekend on the Puss in Boots red carpet.

Speaking with both Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek, who return to the big screen as the hottest couple since El Mariachi and Carolina, was a surreal experience - on the deck of Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas ship in Fort Lauderdale, no less.

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler Make Red Carpet Debut

Let there be no doubt: Klooney lives!

While George Clooney and Stacy Keibler were spotted together last month at the Toronto Film Festival, they managed to avoid posing for any photos as a couple, simply meeting at various times for dinners and meetings.

But the twosome stepped right into the spotlight over the weekend at the New York City premiere of The Descendants (trailer HERE), smiling for photographers on the red carpet of The Lincoln Center:

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler

Two weeks ago, Clooney and Keibler celebrated the part-time actress and former WWE Diva's birthday with a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, as Stacy Tweeted: "Chasing the last days of 'summer."

Keibler might wanna be on the lookout now for female Clooney fans that will soon be chasing her.

Padma Lakshmi vs. Adam Dell: Sides Speak Out

Padma Lakshmi is an expert in the kitchen, but the model/author has been taken to court by ex-boyfriend Adam Dell.

This venture capitalist has filed a lawsuit against the Top Chef host and is seeking custody of the pair's daughter, Krishna. At issue? How much time Dell can spend with her after she turns a year old next month.

Padma Lakshmi and Adam Dell

"Adam Dell, above all else, wants to have an active and substantial role in the upbringing of his daughter with Padma Lakshmi," his lawyer tells The New York Post. "Mr. Dell has tried his best to avoid going to court."

While a rep for Lakshmi says she wants this matter to remain private, the star's attorney, Jay D. Silverstein, has released the following statement:

"The facts in the court papers are inaccurate and misleading. Ms. Lakshmi looks forward to correcting the record in the courts, not the press. She is saddened and gravely disappointed that Mr. Dell has chosen a very public means of filing his petition with the court rather than doing so in a confidential or sealed manner which is customary in cases involving a very young child.

"Ms. Lakshmi believes that the manner in which the papers were filed as well their dissemination to the media is antithetical to the welfare and long term emotional well being of their daughter."

A Case of Bad Parenting


Kourtney Kardashian has appeared on a number of ridiculous tabloid covers. Incredibly, though, Parenting has managed to top them all.

On its official website, this magazine claims to offer "mom tips you can't live without," only to them cover its latest issue with... Kourtney Kardashian.

Offering up such nuggets as "I have no desire to go out," except when I get paid for letting the paparazzi follow me and when I'll soon appear on a reality show that chronicles my life, yet doesn't even show my son, Kourtney opens up to the publication about life as a parent.

In response, allow THG to equally open: if you need parenting tips from Kourtney Kardashian, you might want to rethink motherhood.

Golden Globe Awards Honor Glee, The Social Network, Call Out Gay Scientologists

Ricky Gervais kicked off the 2011 Golden Globe Awards by staying true to his vow to be more subversive than he was a year ago. Just ask Tom Cruise and John Travolta, at whom the comedian aimed this opening joke:

"Also not nominated was I Love You Philip Morris, Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual characters pretending to be gay. So the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists, then... Probably. My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke. They're not here."

And with that... the show was off! Watch Gervais' intro here, following by a list of the event's major winners:

Lorenzo Lamas to Go Dancing With the Stars?


Dancing with the Stars execs are currently locked in negotiations to bring Lorenzo Lamas to the show, according to reports. Talk about a renegade mode.

Sources connected with the show say Lorenzo is "in talks" about a possible deal. Nothing is in stone yet, but he has "serious interest" in doing the show.

This follows reports that Kendra Wilkinson may be tapped to join the cast this spring as well. ABC is expected to announce the cast in the coming weeks.

RENEGADE: Lorenzo Lamas on DWTS? Will it happen? Does anyone care?

No word if his ex-wife Shauna Sand, current fiancee Shawna Craig, or daughter Shayne Lamas have also been asked to cut a rug and chase the Mirror Ball.

Is Kim Kardashian 2sexy2tweet?


If we answer yes to the latest question posed by Kim Kardashian on Twitter, will she go away?

The professional celebrity took to her social network last night and showed off the only reason she's famous. To wit:

Along with the photo, she wrote: "Photo shoot time! #2sexy2tweet?"

You tell us, fans. This is what plastic surgery, millions of dollars and unhealthy dieting can get you. What do you think? Kim Kardashian is...

Jake Pavelka is Bold, Beautiful

Jake signs an autograph for someone who needs a hobby.

After appearing on The Bachelorette, starring as The Bachelor and competing on Dancing With the Stars, Jake Pavelka is trying to launch a real acting career.

Today, he appeared on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

"I play a pilot," said Pavelka, who is/was a pilot before becoming a professional reality star. "What's ironic is that it's harder to play a pilot than to be a pilot!"

Pavelka was offered the role in part because B&B producer Brad Bell flies planes, too. "He's a pilot himself and we had a whole lot in common," says Pavelka.

Also soaring is Pavelka's love life – he and wedding planner Meghan Jones are going strong. If that doesn't work out, there's always The Bachelor again.

Hey, it worked for Brad Womack.

"I read that story that I was begging to be The Bachelor again," says Jake, who was producers' backup plan after Kiptyn Locke, Reid Rosenthal, Womack and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (seriously) all turned it down. "That was news to me."
