Brandi Glanville: Arrested For DUI!

Brandi Glanville, the scorned and slightly crazy ex-wife of Eddie Cibrian, was busted for DUI early this morning in L.A., according to various reports.

The model has been very critical of Eddie's new girlfriend LeAnn Rimes (their affair broke up the marriage), saying she sucks at parenting and life.

Perhaps she should have looked in the mirror instead ...

Bad Brandi

Brandi Glanville is in some hot water.

Brandi Glanville was arrested at 12:05 a.m. today by the Beverly Hills PD after she was pulled over on Sunset Blvd. for an unknown traffic violation.

According to law enforcement sources, officers detected the odor of alcohol and Glanville was given a field sobriety test. Obviously, she failed that.

She was then arrested for suspicion of DUI.

Brandi is currently in custody and being held on $5,000 bail. Wonder if Eddie and LeAnn bail her out. Maybe she should dial someone else with her one call.

Shape Apologizes For LeAnn Rimes Cover

Not a good day for the women of Eddie Cibrian.

First, his ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, was popped for DUI. Then Shape just issued a strong rebuke of itself for putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover recently.

Rimes, of course, cheated on her own husband, Dean Sheremet, with Eddie Cibrian, who was married to Brandi at the time. Shape readers? Unhappy.

Shape Cover

LeAnn Rimes works out a lot. But some readers felt she was an inappropriate cover choice, given the choices she made in her personal life. Editors now agree.

Editor-in-chief Valerie Latona sent this email to angry Shape readers:

"You are all in good company (why I'm e-mailing you all together) as you all agreeShape has made a terrible mistake in putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover."

"Please know that our putting her on the cover was not meant to put a husband-stealer on a pedestal but to show (through her story) we all are human."

"This woman in particular found strength in exercise in what she said was her most difficult personal moment. But it did not come across that way."

"For that I'm terribly sorry. I hope that we can do better the next time for those of you that will give us another chance. Humbly, Valerie Latona."

You have to credit Shape for making the effort to reach out to its readers, and it probably wasn't the best choice, given all the drama last year.

She sucks at parenting, too, according to Brandi. Although Glanville may want to rethink criticizing her in the future after this whole DUI thing.

Joni Kilmurry: Dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy!

Joni Kilmurry is reportedly dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy, making her the envy of millions of female Dancing With the Stars fans everywhere.

Maksim has been heating up the floor with Brandy this season, but away from the ballroom, things are sizzling for him too, thanks to Joni.

He stepped out with the new lady in his life at the FIJI Water Presents NIKKI & RICH event at the Puma Social Club in Los Angeles Oct. 27.

According to Joni Kilmurry's MySpace page, she's 28 and states that she has worked internationally in the fashion industry for more than 10 years.

Maksim was once engaged to fellow Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff, and was linked romantically to Erin Andrews last season as well.

Here's hoping he and Joni are and continue to be happy together!

Bizarre Behavior: Charlie Sheen Allegedly Shouts N Word, Cakes Face in Cocaine

New details are emerging on Charlie Sheen's raucous, drug-fueled night inside a New York City restaurant and hotel room this week - and they make the actor look even more pathetic, if that's possible.

As previously reported and pictured, Sheen started the night at an establishment called Daniel. He drank and dined with friends and acquaintances, including porn star/call girl Capri Anderson.

What, Charlie Worry?

Three days after his NYC rampage, Charlie Sheen was back in Los Angeles, telling reporters he is "excellent."

At one point, a source revealed to Radar Online, the actor "convinced Capri to go to the bathroom with him." From there:

"He started snorting cocaine and then took off his pants. Charlie wanted to have sex with Capri and tried but she stopped him and demanded her $12,000. He didn't have the money on him so she left him in the bathroom!"

When Sheen didn't come back to the table with his date, his assistant went to the bathroom, opened the door and...

"There was Charlie standing there naked with cocaine all over his face!" the source said. "He was delusional and just completely lost. Totally out of it."

But that's not all! It's been well-documented that Sheen and Anderson made it back to his room at the Plaza, only for the former to flip out over his missing wallet and watch. Capri locked herself in the bathroom out of fear. Sheen's reaction?

"He was punching the walls of the hotel room and going crazy and shouting 'n**ger, n**ger, n**ger for no reason at all," the insider says.

We can't verify this report, of course. But would anything shock you about Sheen at this point?

Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick: Broken Up... and Married!

We have bad news and good news for fans of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick. Let's hope they are both reading this...

First, the bad: the rocky relationship between this couple is over, as In Touch Weekly confirms Kourtney took part in a REVENGE ROMANCE that included - gasp! - a "secret meeting" with a Miami model named Leandro Magno.

Revenge Romance!Eloped!

It's been a busy week for Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.

Fortunately, there's this piece of good news: Kourtney and Scott are married! As Star makes clear, the pair went off to ELOPE recently, somehow avoiding the cameras that follow them around at all times.

We wonder if they consummated the marriage or not. Disick is reportedly embarrassed to have sex with Kardashian, after all.

Batman 3 to Be Titled...

Are you ready for the The Dark Knight to rise?

Christopher Nolan has revealed the title for the third installment in his Batman series. Slated for a summer 2012 release, it will be called The Dark Knight Rises. The director has also revealed one more tidbit about the wildly-anticipated film: The Riddler will NOT be the villain.

The Dark Knight Poster

"We’ll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we’ll be introducing some new ones," Nolan said of the script.

The Dark Knight is considered one of the best movies in the history of Hollywood. It earned Heath Ledger a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of The Joker. What do you think of the title for the follow-up?

Audrina Patridge Reality Show: Picked Up By VH1!

Audrina Patridge may have been voted off Dancing With the Stars for no reason last night, but at least she received some unrelated good news to lift her spirits.

Her new reality show got the green light!

"The show with Mark Burnett got picked up by VH1 so the journey continues!" she told Us backstage Tuesday. "It's a reality show about me and my family."

Audrina in Pink

From The Hills to DWTS to ... The Audrina Show?

"Everything that people have wondered about me, they'll now get to see! And I hope Tony [Dovolani, her Dancing With the Stars partner] will be on it! I'd love to make some trips to NY to see him because we are such good friends now!"

As for getting the boot on Dancing With the Stars despite great efforts, Audrina Patridge said, "There's nothing I can really say. It was meant to be, I guess."

"I've learned a lot about myself. I've found a new confidence. I feel like I'm maturing more. There are so many things going around in my head right now."

No word on what her new show will be called, but we're happy for The Hills alum, and hope this softens the blow of last night's absurd elimination somewhat.

David Arquette to Howard Stern: I Cried After Non-Courteney Sex

David Arquette won't stop blabbing to Howard Stern.

For the second time since his separation from Courteney Cox, the D-list actor called up the radio host and over-shared about his personal life. Arquette admitted that waitress Jasmine Waltz is not the only woman he's slept with since leaving the actress.

"I'm pretty sure I'm up sh-t's creek right now," he said after dishing on some Australian blonde. "After the first girl I slept with I was crying. I know that's not very sexy... what it does lack is that emotional love that I always have with Court."

Courteney Cox and David Arquette Pic

Arquette also said he does not have a prenup with Cox, which could actually cost the actress half of her fortune because she earns a lot more than her rarely-employed ex.

Confronted with the report that Cox has also started dating - she's been linked to Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt - Arquette described the actor as "a cool guy."

"Everyone has their problems but she is incredible. Any guy would be blessed to be with her," he said. "I don't have any hard feelings for anyone. This is life and we are just going through it publicly."

Yes, David, that's because you keep calling Howard Stern!

Garry Sun: Tila Tequila Kidnapped My Girlfriend!

Whether she's claims to be pregnant or in possession of a successful music career, Tila Tequila is typically the one making wild allegations.

But a photographer that used to date this trainwreck is the one who came out this week and accused Tila of kidnapping his girlfriend and holding her at gunpoint.

Not a Sexy Pose

According to legal documents obtained by Radar Online, Garry Sun alleges that Tequila broke into his Texas home last week and tried to extort Shyla Jennings, his lover.

“Shyla was kidnapped from her home in Houston, TX and was flown to Los Angeles. Thien Nguyen [Tila’s birth name] drove to my home address with 4 armed men with guns threatening to kill me and threatened my father... who was home. This event later led to extortion in order to save my life," the documents read.

Sun filed for a temporary restraining order yesterday. Tila denies these accusations and says her lawyers are handling the details.

We might actually believe her for once. After all, it sounds like way too much planning and action for someone who spends most days in an Ambien-induced trance.

Maci Bookout: Moving to L.A. For Teen Mom Spinoff?

Teen Mom made Maci Bookout an overnight celebrity.

Now the 19-year-old may be moving to Hollywood!

An insider tells OK! that the mother of two-year-old Bentley is planning to relocate from Tennessee to Tinseltown - because of her new reality show in the works!

Amber Portwood and Maci Bookout

TEEN MOM SHOCKERS: They're a dime a dozen these days.

While an MTV rep says Maci Bookout "is not considering moving to L.A.,” an insider insists a show of her own, and the move to California, are imminent.

We'll see what Ryan Edwards and Kyle King have to say about that one.

In other Teen Mom crisis news, it's been more than six days since two-year-old Leah has heard from her mom, embattled rage-a-holic Amber Portwood.

Not a single visit, phone call, text or even a simple “I love you” since the troubled reality star smacked around Gary Shirley once again last weekend.

“She’s doing her thing,” says Gary’s pal. Hopefully her thing is therapy.

Marilyn Manson and Caridee English: Dating!

Bet you didn't see this celebrity couple coming. Or maybe you did, who knows. It's Marilyn Manson. How surprised can you really be by this guy anymore?

We wouldn't have picked America's Next Top Model winner CariDee English as his newest girlfriend, but hey. Whatever makes a goth shock rocker happy.

"They met when Marilyn helped CariDee on her album," a friend of Marilyn's says. "They've been seeing each other since. She loves how different he is."

CariDee English PhotographMr. Manson

CARILYN: Somehow, they make it work. For a few weeks anyway.

Marilyn was last linked (and engaged) to actress Evan Rachel Wood, with whom he had an on-and-off relationship. They broke up for good this past August.

CariDee English, who has gone from blonde to dark hair, as Marilyn Manson playthings tend to do, has even covered his song "Coma White." Sounds awesome.

"Marilyn Manson inspires and supports me in my music," CariDee says. "He makes me feel comfortable and beautiful with who I am as an artist and a woman."

Adam Lambert to Release Acoustic Album

First, Justin Bieber. Now, Adam Lambert.

A few days after that 16-year old singer announced plans for an acoustic album, Adam Lambert has gone ahead and done the same.

Getting Down with Adam

In an interview with Australian TV host Dylan Lewis, Adam said the CD will come out "around Thanksgiving time" and explained its genesis:

“We went around Europe in the earlier part of this year... and we did a lot of promos, so I had Monte, my guitar player, and my drummer at the time. We just did very stripped-back versions of the songs. We got our hands on some of those recordings. Then we also recorded some of the stuff from the actual Glam Nation Tour, so it’s going to be a mix of both.”

We can't wait. Check out the 10-minute interview below:

Demi Lovato: Back to Brunette

Demi Lovato can't make up her mind.

Sometimes, she goes blonde. Other times, the hair is up. And still other times, you guessed it, the locks are dropped down.

Now, the younger singer - who has been touring for weeks with The Jonas Brothers and played Mexico City this week - has gone back to brunette. She clearly needs your help, THG readers, so please take a moment to compare and contrast below and then vote...

Jessica Simpson: So Inspired By Eric Johnson

Eric Johnson is just too good to be true.

That's Jessica Simpson's take on her former NFL player beau. "I've never really been in such a healthy relationship. I'm like, 'Something's going to go wrong. Is he going to trip me or something?'" the alleged singer said Tuesday.

Eric Johnson PhotographBeautiful JS

Eric Johnson used to play for the 49ers. Now he plays with Jessica Simpson.

"I'm waiting for something bad to happen," she said during a panel discussion at Maria Shriver's Women's Conference in Long Beach, Calif., on Tuesday., "but then I have realized that I actually do deserve an understanding relationship."

Simpson, who refers to her boyfriend of six months "a hottie," said that Eric Johnson "has been a true inspiration. He really knows himself."

The same can be said of Jess ... in a manner of speaking.

More than four years since her divorce from Nick Lachey in 2006, she's not only found love with Eric, but also a new level of hard-fought confidence.

She can thank little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz for that.

"My sister and I, through my divorce, became so much closer than we'd ever been growing up," Simpson said during yesterday's panel discussion.

"She would always give me music to get me through."

The sisters often cranked up the Sister Act soundtrack and Lauryn Hill's "His Eyes on a Sparrow" as well as Patty Griffin's "Let Him Fly", Simpson said.

"'Fly' is about that moment where you learn to fly and live on your own and that's what I was doing through my divorce, learning to live on my own."

While Jess cherishes being an aunt to Ashlee's son, Bronx, she said, "I always thought I would have children before her since I was married first."

But Simpson has taken away life lessons from hard times.

"Another thing that can strip you of your self-esteem is a divorce and you have to start over and find out who you are all over again," she said.

"I was on a little bit of a detour but I finally went back on the path that I was supposed to be on," she said, "I grew from that experience and it made me a better lover, and hopefully a better wife one day and an incredible mother someday."

Eric Johnson, you're on notice man.

Charlie Sheen on Hotel Incident: Totally Overblown!

New reports confirm that Charlie Sheen had cocaine in his system early yesterday morning, while sources estimate the damage the actor did to his hotel room in NYC while high is around $7,000.

But what's the big deal? That's what the sitcom star texted today, as he made his first public comments since being discovered by police at the Plaza.

I’m fine,” Sheen wrote to Radar Online. “The story is totally overblown and overplayed as far as the reality of the scenario.”

Charlie Sheen

Sheen would not elaborate on what actually went down, and ex-wife Denise Richards - who accompanied the actor to the hospital - is also remaining quiet.

Sources say Sheen will get back to work on Two and a Half Men this week, while a Colorado judge is unlikely to revoke his probation because he wasn't technically caught committing a crime.

Guess that pretty much wraps up this sketchy incident. Until Sheen's next one, that is.

Jenna Jameson: Bound for Broadway?!?

Jenna Jameson has extensive history of performing in front of people. But can she do so with her clothes on?

The New York Post reports that the iconic porn star is in negotiations to join the Broadway play Rock of Ages, specifically in the role of Justice, the owner of a strip club.

"I think I'm perfect for the role," Jameson told the newspaper. "I am in talks with the producers, and I'm praying I get the role. Broadway has always been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl. I am really excited."

Iconic Porn Star

Jameson says she's trying to jump start a new career, while also turning over a new page in her life.

Earlier this year, the former porn actress' father passed away, while her and boyfriend Tito Ortiz continue to see a therapist following his arrest on domestic violence charges. They are still very much together.

"Tito has been by my side non-stop," she says. "He's an amazing man."

Brandy Rocks Dancing With the Stars

It was Rock Week this week on Dancing with the Stars, and one star truly rocked her dance more than all her competitors. That star was Brandy.

Despite getting quite testy with Maksim Chmerkovskiy in rehearsals, the two pulled it together and tangoed to the top of the leaderboard. It was great.

Maybe going sexless for six years is benefiting her here. Brandy's just got that edge! She proceeded to win the dance marathon later on, as well!

Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy Pic

TWO TO TANGO: Are Brandy and Maks the new favorites?

In second place after last night were Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani, despite what the judges see as untapped potential in terms of her character and passion.

Rick Fox and Cheryl Burke turned in a pretty nice tango, as did Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer, who have been quietly strong in recent weeks. Much improved.

The surprise of the night was probably that Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas outscored several - including favorites Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough - with their tango.

The judges applauded her growing confidence on the dance floor after the anti-teen pregnancy advocate had closely escaped from last week's elimination round.

Jennifer and Derek were told to calm down after a performance that was all over the place, but the lowest score came from Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya.

After competing for up to 30 points in their individual dances, it was time for a dance marathon, in which the couples all competed for an additional 10 points.

Kurt and Anna were the first to be removed, while Brandy and Maks were the last on the dance floor, giving them 10 additional points. What a night for them.

Here's how the scores shook out after two hours:

  1. Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 36 (26, 10).
  2. Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani: 32 (24, 8).
  3. Rick Fox and Cheryl Burke: 30 (24, 6).
  4. Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer: 30 (23, 7).
  5. Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough: 29 (20, 9).
  6. Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas: 28 (23, 5).
  7. Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya: 22 (18, 4).

Who do you think is in danger tonight? You have to think that with Bristol Palin's improvement, Kurt is headed home, though we've certainly been wrong before.

T.I. Drug Arrest Thrown Out By D.A.

The L.A. County D.A. has tossed the drug case stemming from T.I.'s arrest last month - the one that earned him an 11-month jail stint for violating probation.

What's unclear is whether T.I. being sent to jail anyway due to the probation violation made prosecuting him a moot point, or if there were other issues.

T.I. and Tiny, his wife, were busted on September 1 for possession of a controlled substance. Ecstasy was reportedly found in their car, and possibly sizzurp.

Clifford Harris

T.I. has a reason to smile, but it won't keep him out of jail.

The D.A.'s office says it's not going forward with charges because, in essence, he'll already be locked up, since the arrest was a violation of his federal probation.

However, there may have been legal problems over probable cause which led to T.I.'s arrest. For one, cops claimed they smelled marijuana in the rapper's car.

No pot was ever booked into evidence, however.

Additionally, T.I. and Tiny were pulled out of his ride immediately after he made the illegal U-turn and prior to any registration check. It's all very suspicious.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he can reverse the probation violation based on these developments, but at least he won't be prosecuted any further.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Oh, The Horror!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta was almost too painful and nauseating to watch this week. But our critic sucked it up, powered through and published a detailed review of the latest scripted shenanigans between these women. Enjoy...

Oh, the horror! The horror! Where do I begin? Nene goes to the plastic surgeon complaining about wanting her "happy" back. She and Gregg are just not getting along and her constant battles with Bryce are wearing her down. But how to get that happy back? Downsize those boobs! Lipo the pooch (her belly, not her Yorkie)! And pinch up those nostrils while you're at it!

Sheree is of the opinion that if she had plastic surgery every time she had a marital problem she'd look like Dwight. Zing!

At a Baby Shower

We're introduced to Kim's parents (yes, she actually was not spawned from a Mattel plastic mold) this week.

They're a nice Italian couple who accuses Kim of trading family for fame since they no longer share those traditional Sunday dinners of yore. We learn that Kim's dad was an overprotective father and they LOVE Big Poppa. Who cares that their daughter was his mistress? According to Daddy, Kim's "a very class (sic) individual."

Big Poppa has moolah and apparently connections in the Catholic church because the parents suggest Kim ask him to help out with Brielle's upcoming baptism/christening/exorcism.

Phaedra and Dwight, meanwhile, invite Cynthia and 50-year-old Peter to the Steeplechase horse race. Phaedra's "an equestrian," so it's only normal that she wear spiked heels and a low-rent Pucci sheath to the track. Looking like a "black Tammy Faye Baker and Willy Wonka" in their matching pink hats, Phaedra nearly passes out when she learns that 50-year-old Peter has five kids! Phaedra wants a clean man like Apollo.

Prison rape? That's cool. Kids? Run for the hills. At the race, 50-year-old Peter is just hoping one of the horses runs off the track and crushes Phaedra. He'd love to knock her off her high horse (excuse the pun), but she's pregnant so a beating is out of the question.

Nene has her surgeries since that's how she deal with stress. Is it wrong to like Nene all drugged up and mumbling incoherently? She has her friend, Diana, call Gregg but his voice mail picks up. Sad.

Kandi's nervous about her new album. Kim pays no mind and just wants Kandi to write her next hit song. Now that she's a mega popstar, she tells Kandi her next single should be "The Ring Don't Mean A Thing"...a title inspired my Nene's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. Kandi's down with it but this time she wants to get paid for her efforts. Sorry Kim, free ride's over.

Cynthia Bailey Pic

Nene comes out of her surgeries and immediately asks how she looks. "I don't want to look like Dwight!" Poor D gets no respect. Doped up, Nene calls Kim and Sheree for support.

Meanwhile, Sheree attends her new love interest's seminar. Tiy-E "The Love Doctor" Muhammed has written a book about why black women can't land any men. Sheree is called to sit at an informal panel where she learns she needs to let the man open the ketchup bottle for her and that she'll never meet a man at Payless. The Love Doctor offers to cook Sheree a meal. Sheree swoons. Who knew it was overcooked pasta she was after all this time?

Nene recovers at home. Kim visits her and Nene tells her that even though she got her nostrils pinched like Dwight she still has her "black girl nose." Bryce isn't happy with Mommy's new look. Brent couldn't care less. And still no Gregg. Sad.

And finally our eyes are singed forever when we get a gander at Phaedra's "high class" baby shower. Break out the ticky-tacky, frou-frou, pinky-tipping Sunday revival party hats because this is about to get real freaky. Not Dwight, though. As the baby shower planner extraordinaire, he gets to wear a tiara and have his makeup professionally done.

Wearing what appears to be an entire bush of live rose buds on her head and counterfeit Swarovski crystals as eyeliner, Phaedra is the epitome of what Kandi calls "boughetto," the combination of "bougie" and "ghetto." Lisa Wu Hartwell makes an appearance (zzzz) and Phaedra nearly kills Kim for arriving late to her shower... hatless no less!

Did she not get the trumpeted invitation requesting high class attire to the queen's masquerade ball, er, shower?!? Kim, Kandi and Lisa are speechless at the sight of the ballerinas twirling about and Dwight leading about-to-burst Phaedra in a waltz (Apollo refused to participate in this "girly" spectacle). After all, Phaedra is an entertainment lawyer and she loves the arts - and herself - so why not have as your baby shower a demented version of "The Nutcracker" as directed by Baby Jane in the senior center.

Oh the horror, the horror.

Mel Gibson Will Testify in Child Custody Battle

After months of speculation, rumors and insane Mel Gibson rants, we'll finally hear from the actor himself. Or at least a judge will. He's being deposed Monday.

Oksana Grigorieva's lawyers finally snagged a sit-down interview with Gibson, though the deposition will only involve their child custody battle over Lucia.

In other words, domestic violence allegations against him are off-limits.

Grigorieva and Gibson

Mel will finally give his side of the story. Sort of.

"Mel's team agreed to have him sit for the deposition November 1," a source said. "Mel will decline to discuss the alleged assault on Oksana, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination given the active police investigation."

Oksana Grigorieva - already in crisis after their family law specialist quit on Sunday - is facing even more obstacles behind the scenes, as she feels she does not have a qualified lawyer who can interrogate the Oscar-winning actor/director.

Her lead attorney, Martin Garbus, is unable to practice in California after a judge rejected his pro hac vice motion last week, as Radar Online reported.

Oksana's other lawyer, Lisa Bloom, will be in London to speak before the House of Commons on climate change on the same day Mel is being deposed.

Given Garbus' inability to be admitted in California, and Bloom's scheduling conflict, it is unclear who is going to take Mel's deposition, sources report.

Daniel Horowitz is her only attorney available.

Oksana's lawyers have been trying to schedule a deposition with Mel since August after he missed two dates due to his vacation with his children.

However, a Los Angeles judge ordered Mel to submit to the attorneys' questioning before another judge and gave him a November 10 deadline.

Lindsay Lohan Being Rushed Back to Work?

Lindsay Lohan is looking at a Catch-22 of sorts come early 2011.

Girl is gonna be needing money to pay off her expensive rehab stint, but taking it easy might be the best way to make certain there is no next rehab stint.

So when we hear that her management team is already lining up projects for the actress as soon as she steps out of rehab, it makes us a bit concerned.

Facing the Music (Again)

Can Lindsay Lohan turn her life around? [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

LiLo's closest friends, too, are concerned that rushing her back into the spotlight - Lohan's managers have been devouring movie scripts, furiously trying to set up meetings, and organizing fashion projects - could be a dangerous move.

January 3 is the earliest Lindsay can leave the Betty Ford Clinic. One friend says she "definitely shouldn't be working the first week. She should not be working the first couple months. She needs to be attending daily meetings."

"Lindsay needs to focus on herself for some time honestly."

What do you think? Should she cool it for a long enough time, a la Britney, that she can truly come back with a vengeance? Can she stay clean at all?

Janet Jackson: Not Engaged to Wissam Al Mana

Is Janet Jackson engaged to Wissam Al Mana? No, no she's not.

She had to deal with the same rumors about her last boyfriend, but that's all they are in this case, too. Rumors. And she takes them in stride.

On Good Morning America to promote her new film For Colored Girls, she says there's no truth to the engagement story, but she's very happy.

Wissam Al Mana, Janet Jackson Picture

Wissam Al Mana is no becoming Mr. Janet Jackson ... yet.

The interview inevitably turned to the singer's personal life and when asked about her blossoming relationship she shot down any marriage rumors.

'He is a very private man so i don't talk about our relationship,' she said of Wissam Al Mana, an Middle Eastern businessman she began dating in April.

"But it is really important that I just say this," she continued to her GMA host. "They (media) have been trying to marry me off for a very long time."

"No I am not engaged, I will say that. But, I am in a really good place."

Hey, as long as she's happy, so are we.

Teen Mom Drama: Amber Portwood Freaks the Hell Out, Gary Shirley and Baby Leah Escape Injury

Just weeks after their televised smackdown, a police report from a new, disturbing fight between Teen Mom stars Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley has surfaced.

But despite the latest of many heated confrontations between the troubled couple, Gary insists that both he and the couple's baby, Leah, are “100 percent OK.”

At 12:33 a.m. last Wednesday in the couple’s home town of Anderson, Ind., Gary says he pushed Amber out of his home after she “threatened to batter him.”

Gary and Leah (on Teen Mom)

ALL GOOD: Gary and Leah are fine after the latest domestic disturbance.

Amber Portwood, who was only wearing underwear at the time, became enraged when Gary received a text message she thought was from another woman.

The pair were quietly watching a movie together when she saw the text, which Gary later told police was from a male friend – NOT a woman. Oops. Her bad.

According to the police report, a fight erupted and Gary Shirley headed for the door when Amber Portwood physically threatened him. Pretty standard stuff.

When Amber followed him outside in her underwear, Gary rushed back in and locked her out to avoid being hit by his fiancee, who has a history of violence.

The police report also notes that “Ms. Portwood seemed extremely stressed out” and that she was with Gary because her apartment was “being boxed up.”

Officers drove her home so "the two could be separated."

Amber Rages

RAGE: It's a pretty common thing with Amber Portwood.

Amber has a well-chronicled history of violence on the MTV reality show, with a number of episodes even showing her getting physically abusive with Gary.

She is currently under investigation with the Anderson Police Department for domestic abuse. Somehow we don't imagine it will be the last time, either.

Gary Shirley says he's got her back. He'd better be careful the next time he turns his back on her, though, lest he end up with a steak knife lodged in it.

Greyson Chance Debuts First Single

Move over, Willow Smith. There's another young musician angling for the spotlight.

Greyson Chance, the 13-year old singer who rose to prominence on YouTube and was the first act signed to Ellen DeGeneres' record label, debuted his first original song off his upcoming album today.

Listen below to "Waiting Outside the Lines" and watch as Greyson initially sits behind a piano before moving out towards the audience. What do you think of his potential as an artist?



Joy Behar Decrees Sharron Angle Campaign Ad, Refers to Candidate as "Evil Moron"

Bill O'Reilly, you got off easy.

When that Fox News anchor appeared on The View last week, Joy Behar simply walked off the stage.

But Sharron Angle, who is challenging Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for his office in Nevada, received the full wrath of Behar on today's edition of that gabfest.

The show aired a new campaign commercial (posted below) in which Angle takes Reid to task for his handling of illegal aliens.

Intepreting the spot to be a comparison of Latinos to terrorists, Behar addressed the camera this morning and called Angle a “bitch," said she was “going to hell" and added that the candidate is “a moron on top of being evil."

Elisabeth Hasselbeck chimed in and agreed the ad is "wrong." Watch it now and then sound off with your take.

Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan: It's Over

Carey Mulligan and Shia LaBeouf have called it a relationship.

The Transformers star and the Never Let Me Go actress, who were first linked in 2009 after being spotted kissing in NYC, have officially called it quits.

Since the split, Mulligan has been in L.A. shooting the indie film Drive, opposite Ryan Gosling. Shia will be in the newest Transformers film next year.

Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan have broken up, but had a good run.

Charlie Sheen Update: High on Cocaine, Flying to Los Angeles

We have more details about Charlie Sheen and the incident this morning involving him, a trashed NYC hotel room and a naked call girl locked in the bathroom.

As previously reported, authorities found the actor passed out in his bed at the Plaza around 2 a.m. Sources say he went to his room with a prostitute, could not find his wallet and went off on the escort, tossing around furniture and scaring her to the point where she barricaded herself in a bathroom and called the cops.

Sheen's rep has hilariously claimed his client simply had an allergic reaction, but an insider that allegedly spoke to the hooker in question says she and Sheen were high on cocaine at the time of the incident.

Charlie S.

"The prostitute says Charlie was using cocaine,” a source told Radar Online. "She said after he did the coke, he flipped out, couldn’t find his wallet and accused her of stealing it.”

Here is what else can we report:

  • Sheen was eight days away from the end of his probation, stemming from the plea bargain he struck in August on charges of domestic violence, but it's unlikely this incident will be considered a violation because he wasn't caught committing a crime.
  • Friends tell TMZ the actor has been hanging out with "bad people" recently and has been abusing various substances for months.
  • Insiders associated with Two and a Half Men have paid for a private jet to fly Sheen back to Los Angeles after he checks out of a NYC hospital today.
  • He will then move back home. Another stint in rehab is clearly needed, but unlikely to occur.

Jessica White Arrested After Bar Fight

Sports Illustrated model Jessica White was out celebrating her breakup with Sean Penn. That can be very exciting stuff, for sure, but she got a little carried away.

White was arrested over the weekend for assault.

“Jessica was out with a bunch of friends celebrating her new single status,” her lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, who (in)famously represented Jon Gosselin last year, said. “She just ended her relationship with Sean Penn and was celebrating.”

Is Jessica White as dangerous as she is gorgeous?

According to reports, White allegedly hit a woman repeatedly in the face and pulled her hair before getting arrested outside New York City’s Avenue Lounge.

She was held in police custody for over 12 hours.

Heller says there “were at least five witnesses that will be able to corroborate her (White’s) story and confirm that her conduct was not criminal in nature."

Adding that White is not "the type of woman who gets into cat fights,” Heller said that “Stories concerning celebrities frequently get blown up and I am confident that the air will be released a blown up story that has obviously been over inflated."

Maybe so. The Charlie Sheen story, though? That thing's still inflating!

Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato Rock Out in Mexico City

Demi Lovato might be devastated that her ex-boyfriend has moved on to a serious relationship

with Ashley Greene.

But if this is the case, the young singer is doing a great job at hiding it.

Lovato took to the stage with Joe and his brothers in Mexico City Sunday night. She and her former lover even sang a duet together, entertaining fans with a rendition of "Wouldn't Change A Thing," the same single they performed on American Idol in March.

Check it out NOW and click on the following photos to enlarge pics from the concert:

Jennifer Love Hewitt: My Body is a Wonderland!

In December 2007, Jennifer Love Hewitt faced criticism about her curves and responded with an impressive, mature, well-reasoned statement in which she encouraged those with "butts, boobs, hips and waists" to "stay strong."

The actress has now turned her back on these women and opened up about the extreme measures she took to lose weight.

A Quality BodyJennifer Love Hewitt, Alex Beh

Like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Love Hewitt has blown her chance to be a role model.

Inspired by The Biggest Loser, Hewitt says in the latest issue of OK! Weekly that she hired a personal trainer, vomited during their first few sessions together and:

“A couple times I stopped in the middle and burst into tears because I felt like I couldn’t do it. I was torn to shreds physically, mentally and emotionally."

Now? "I'm falling in love with my body," Hewitt says, despite saying three years ago that she already loved it.

Meanwhile, the large-breasted actress landed a new man in July: actor/director Alex Beh.

They participated this weekend in the Dodge Rock 'n' Roll Los Angeles Half Marathon, as seen above. Asked what attracted him to Hewitt, Beh said "her eyes, and really, we just laugh the whole time."

It's easy to see why. Hewitt's hypocrisy when it comes to her figure is downright hilarious.

Jennifer Mee, a.k.a. Hiccup Girl, Charged With Murder

Jennifer Mee, better known as "Hiccup Girl" after an appearance on the Today show in 2007, seemed so normal. Well, aside from the chronic hiccup thing.

Anyway, she was charged with murder in Florida this weekend.

First-degree murder, no less. According to cops, Mee was involved in a robbery gone awry Saturday. Officials say Jennifer Mee personally lured a man into an ambush, in which he was robbed at gunpoint, struggled and was shot dead.

WHO, MEE? According to police ... yes.

According to police, Mee and the other two suspects "admitted to their involvement" in the crime and have each been charged with murder as a result.

All three could face the death penalty if convicted.

Mee, who suffered from a rare condition which made her hiccup 50 times a minute for five weeks, apparently had much bigger problems than that.

Next for Justin Bieber: Fragrance-Filled Accessories

Another day, another new endeavor for Justin Bieber.

The singer - who already has released a memoir, will star in a 3D biopic and even has plans for a nail polish - has now announced an upcoming fragrance... with a twist!

Bieber has teamed with Etoile Nation Beauty to sell wristbands and dog tags infused with a unisex scent called "My World." These items will go on sale at Wal-Mart the day after Thanksgiving.

Very Cute Close-Up

What type of scent is Justin going for with this product?

He told WWTD that he doesn't go for anything "too fruity" and “I actually like the Britney Spears perfume on girls. It smells good.”

Before you go out and purchase cases full of this perfume, gals, check out the following photo montage of Bieber. He attended Variety's 4th Annual Power Of Youth Event yesterday at The Paramount Studios in Hollywood:

Loredana Jolie Book: Tiger Woods is a Sexual Freak, Elin Nordegren is a Loveless Gold-Digger

Tiger Woods enjoyed threesomes with women, fantasized about men and was stuck in a marriage to an uncaring, sexless gold digger in Elin Nordegren.

So claims Loredana Jolie, one of his many mistresses, in her new book!

Unlike Devon James' tale of the Tiger Woods sex tape (which actually starred stand-in Teneal Goyco), some of what Loredana discusses in her memoir - The Real Diary: Lessons from the Good Time Girl to Champion - many actually be true!

Hot Loredana Jolie PhotoSO Psyched

PUMPED: Loredana says Tiges was - about girl-on-girl action and more!

"He liked to watch girl-on-girl, and the girls would occasionally join us," Loredana Jolie says of Tiger, noting that his fantasies included men. "I'd make him fantasize. I'd ask about if I had another guy [with us]. It kind of turned him on."

"He didn't say he would try it. But it would turn him on."

The gossip memoir goes on sale next month, ahead of the first anniversary of the Thanksgiving SUV crash that blew the lid off Woods' sex shenanigans.

Woods, she gushes, was a sex machine, but one with a heart of gold. He is "largely endowed" and "safe sex with him was definitely champion status."

Good to know, Loredana Jolie. Definitely good to know.

"When I was having my relationship with Tiger, I was like on the seventh cloud from a sexual perspective," she raves, apparently confusing the phrases cloud nine and seventh heaven. "There is no doubt [that] Tiger was awesome in bed."

Jolie, whose real name is Loredana Ferriolo, also reveals that Tiger "loved kissing" and "used to convince me to send him sexy text messages and pictures," and suggested that sometimes a second woman would join them in bed.

"Men like to watch girls on girls," she writes, hinting at his dark side. "Tiger was kind of addicted to pills, I saw him taking sleeping pills and painkillers. He had a severe sleeping disorder and he could not sleep at night," she says.

She also eviscerated Elin Nordegren, Tiger's now ex-wife and mother of his kids, questioning her motives and blaming her for Tiger's serial cheating.

"Obviously they didn't have such a close relationship because if I was in his house where the hell was she?" she rants. "If I had my husband, I would make sure I know [who] was coming to my house. At that point I started realizing it was more a less [sic] financial reasons why they were married - she was in it for the money."

Between 2006 and 2008, Jolie claims, she hooked up with Tiger Woods about 20 times but accepted money only once - $15,000 used to pay bills.

While claiming she also "teased" Michael Jordan and Bruce Willis but never made it to the sack with them, she says her call girl diary includes some of the planet's wealthiest and most famous men. Yet it's Tiger Woods she longs for.

"I changed my number when news broke about our relationship several times. I'm sure if my number was the same we would be in touch," she insists.

That's probably true. For $15,000 total, 20 nights of pleasure is a decent deal by A-list call girl standards, especially with girl on girl action included.

Graham Stookey: I'm the Next Justin Bieber!!!

We may have found the next Justin Bieber in Graham Stookey.

Correction: Graham Stookey may have found the next Justin Bieber... in Graham Stookey.

The 18-year old has posted a series of videos on his own YouTube channel and asks the following question on it: If Justin Bieber can get famous ... why can't I?

Sounds like a question for THG readers. Watch the young singer mash-up a handful of iconic singles in the pair of performances published below, first combining a Miley Cyrus hit with a Lionel Richie classic; and then combining Flo Rida with Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake:






Jenna Von Oy and Brad Bratcher: Married!

Former Blossom star Jenna Von Oy has gotten married!

The actress, who played Six on the aforementioned sitcom, wed Brad Bratcher, a Dell computer data consultant, on October 10 in her hometown of Newtown, Conn.

Dog Bruiser was the ring bearer, and guests included Kal Penn and Dule Hill. "We're so happy," she said. "My mom told me never to meet a man at a bar, so I did!"

Congratulations to Jenna Von Oy and her new husband!

Jenna Von Oy and Brad Bratcher met at a Nashville wine bar, where they bonded over their love of Nobel Prize-winning novelist Gabriel García Marquez.

That was 2008. They got engaged this past New Year's Eve.

Now a musician, Von Oy wrote a song for the couple's second dance - their first was to Train's "Marry Me." Hearing it, "He looked at me and his eyes welled up. We knew it would be a wonderful day. But it more fun than we ever expected!"

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal: Spotted Around NYC!

Is the world ready for Gyllenswift?

According to witnesses, Taylor Swift was backstage at Saturday Night Live this weekend, supporting friend and host Emma Stone. But the singer wasn't alone: Jake Gyllenhaal was by her side.

“She looked like she was dreaming while she was there," reports Lainey Gossip. "And they left together. And they’ve been seen all around New York together: brunch, shopping, what people do when they start dating."

Speaking, Singing NowJake the Great

What do you think of the potential for Gyllenswift/Swyllenhaal?

Swift has been in the news a lot lately, mostly because her new album comes out today, but also because at least one of the singles off it is clearly dedicated to John Mayer. And not in a good way.

In other words: if this rumor is true, the 29-year old Gyllenhaal - who dated Reese Witherspoon for two years - might wanna be careful. He doesn't want Taylor to title a song "Dear Jake" on her next CD.

Teresa Giudice Throws Down with Brother, Cameras Capture Chaos

As previously reported, Tamra Barney and Jeana Keough got into a major fracas at a Real Housewives of Orange County wrap party on Saturday.

But these two weren't the only Bravo reality stars to pretend to fight for the camera this weekend.

According to Radar Online, Teresa Giudice attended the christening of her nephew yesterday afternoon, as hosted by her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga and her husband, Joey, both of whom will appear on The Real Housewives of New Jersey next season.

Most Popular Housewife?

Following the baptism, which Teresa attended alone, the Housewife brought husband, Joe, and the couple's four children to a post-church reception. With cameras now rolling, she went up to congratulate her brother - who reportedly rebuffed the offer, saying:

"Now you want to congratulate me after all this time? Now you want to be nice to me? Your husband didn't even come to the church and you show up an hour late!"

Teresa's husband soon stepped in and things got physical between him and Joey Gorga.

"Once again Teresa ruined a perfect day," said an attendee. "She took memories from the Gorga children and family, and took a day that was not about her and making it about her. And her husband is the crazy one who got up and started to start a physical fight."

Guests were screaming as the confrontation turned ugly, sources say. Punches and curses flew. Yelled Joe Giudice of his nemesis:

"I'll kill that f**king midget!"

Another guest says Teresa's dad grew so upset and sweaty that he had to be escorted from the premises, with many concerned about his health.

"Teresa's children Gia and Gabriella were hysterically crying," said the insider. "Melissa's daughter Antonia was also upset. Kids were running around crying, screaming and hiding."

But not the Bravo cameramen, don't worry! They remained in place, capturing all the action and likely patting everyone on the back afterward for following the script so perfectly.

Joe Finley: Someone Killed My Wife!

Two days after his wife was found dead, an America's Got Talent contestant named Joe Finley has made a public plea: Someone killed her!

Laura Finley was found dead in a stairwell at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles on early Saturday morning. She was in town because Joe wanted to audition for the NBC competition.

Joe Finley, Wife

Considered a person of interest, Joe was actually arrested for drug possession the day Laura died. He's admitted both he and his wife were on ecstasy the night she was found and that he last saw Laura alive around 3 a.m. on Saturday.

Her body was discovered five and a half hours later.

"Somebody threw her off that railing," Joe told TMZ today, adding that Laura's death was "100% not an accident" and, of course, that he did not kill her.

Joe says he awoke early Saturday morning and his wife was missing. He then asked the hotel to page her over the public address system - and then left for his audition around 2 p.m. Cops stopped him on the way, showed him a picture of his wife's injured face and then took him into questioning.

After a few hours, the police released him and Joe still went to the audition, despite admitting that he thought his wife was dead.

We'll have more on this story as news breaks.

JWoww Turned Down $400,000 Playboy Offer

While I do believe that Playboy made an real offer to Jersey Shore’s JWoww…I have a hard time believing she would walk away from nearly half a million dollars. So maybe she’s exaggerating just a tiny bit.

Anyway…she says she turned it down because she’s got some better things going on. It’s been confirmed that she has moved in with Snooki and it’s pretty much known that they’ve got their own spinoff. But why not use the Playboy opportunity to promote herself and the new show?

“I am not going to do Playboy in the near future,” she told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Wednesday. “There is a better opportunity out there, which everybody will probably see soon.”




Katy Perry Gets Indian Bridal Nose Ring For Her Wedding

Katy Perry will be marrying Russell Brand this weekend wearing a traditional Indian bridal nose ring called a nath.

Homegirl is fully embracing Indian tradition. These are going to be celebrity wedding pictures that I actually want to see.

The nath comprises of a gold chain attached to a nose ring which is hooked across the bride’s right cheek and pinned to her hair above the ear.

Tradition dictates the bride’s will wear the nath throughout the wedding day, with the bridegroom removing it on the wedding night as a symbol of the woman’s virginity ending. Insert your own “he’s too late for late” joke here.
