Holly Madison: Snooki is an Awesome "Pickle Sucker!"

Advertisers, lawmakers and Garden State residents might have problems with Jersey Shore, but the show clearly appeals to one demographic:

Former young girlfriends of old men.

Asked about the show's star, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Holly Madison told E! News: "I love Snooki. She's a pickle sucker!"

That's one term for her. Would Holly wanna see Snooki nude in the pages of Playboy? Not exactly, but:

"I want to see her in a Midsummer Night's Dream outfit," she said, referring to Hugh Hefner's iconic party at the Playboy Mansion.

Bridget Marquardt, meanwhile, echoes her former threesome mate's sentiments.

"She's so funny. She's just being herself and that's just who she is," Bridget said of Polizzi.

As for Jersey Shore in general? Marquardt might not curse like Snooki, but she has the same feelings as the pint-sized, hilarious sex pot when it comes to the MTV series.

"I'm totally addicted. They're like the hottest people in America. They're trainwrecks! I love watching it and we get excited every time there's a new episode. We can't wait to watch."

The Bachelor Cast Sells Out Rozlyn Papa

Ashley Elmore, a.k.a. the second craziest chick on The Bachelor after the bat$h!t insane Michelle, didn’t get a rose on this week's episode of the reality show.

Now that she's gone, she can't wait to sell out Rozlyn Papa.

Elmore says she witnessed flirting between Papa and Ryan Callahan, a Bachelor producer. An alleged "inappropriate relationship" resulted in their dismissals.

She also says she heard her co-stars say they saw Rozlyn was “snuggling” and “cuddling” with Callahan, including lying on a couch with a hand on his thigh!

Wow, she saw flirting and heard about cuddling? Scandal!

“There were red flags,” Elmore says. “No one thought a sexual affair was happening but they thought it was serious enough to bring to producers' attention.”

Both Ashley and Rozlyn got the boot Monday - for different reasons.

Papa insists no sex or even making out took place between her and Callahan, who she admits she is close to. Host Chris Harrison insists that it was physical.

The Bachelor himself, Jake Pavelka, said this week on the Ellen DeGeneres Show that Rozlyn Papa had "an inappropriate physical relationship" with Callahan.

His proof? Some female contestants "came up to me and had seen things going on," he says. Again, the evidence is so damning, we don't know what to say!

Pavelka remained mum when asked how "inappropriate" Papa's dalliances were. Asked if they slept together, he replied "You're going to make me turn red!"

Britney Spears Loves That Body

Britney Spears is calling BS on reports that she hates her body.

We're glad she set the record straight, because we've been fans of it ever since we got that ... Baby One More Time poster for our dorm room in college.

We may be dating ourselves a bit with that reference, but the point remains that Britney Spears, just like anyone else, has no reason to hate her body.

That's why her official site is calling out recent celebrity gossip reports that she will "always hate" her body. Two words, Look magazine: Puh. Lease.

"See who's full of it," the pop star posted on Twitter after finding a feature in the tabloid that claims to have interviewed the star about her body issues.

Britney Spears takes issues with this bull$hit story.

"I'm a perfectionist, which means I'm never satisfied," the article quotes Spears as saying, even though she didn't. "I always strive for things to be better."

"I think you can be happy with the person on the inside but on the outside, you're always striving for more. That's how you end up driving yourself crazy."

Look also quoted her saying she isn't comfortable in their own skin and doesn't see herself as sexy. Not true, says Britney, and we couldn't agree more.

She also cries foul on the Globe, which claims she is one of a handful of celebs "who'll die next," and takes the National Enquirer to task for claiming she is "headed back to the psych ward" after her father Jamie's conservatorship was extended.

Britney's image is the most carefully-crafted in Hollywood since her problems of 2007-2008, so it's no surprise she's dispelling these erroneous reports.

In the words of many a fan, LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

Jersey Shore Recap: "What Happens in AC," "One Shot"

Two episodes of Jersey Shore? Back to back? Double fist-pump! The Hollywood Gossip has all the action from Seaside Heights recapped below as only it can.

Last night's seventh and eighth episodes of the season took the trashiness to a new level. Below, we award and deduct points as we deem fit. Let's get to it:

As the first hour gets going, Snooki catches the eye of an attractive non-guido, "Cowboy." He seems to take a liking to her for reasons unknown. Minus 3.

Mike is tapping some trashy chick in the hot tub when Snooki and the Cowboy break it up. That's right, Snooki just cock-blocked The Situation. Plus 10.

We thought the trash bag's friend coming to collect her was a dude. Minus 2.

Sammi lets Ronnie out of his cage for once. The Situation decides to stir up trouble by ratting him out for talking to some girl. D!ck move, Mike. Minus 4.

Vinny makes a booty call. Duck phone stizzyle.

The Situation doesn't like Vinny mackin' in on his sister. He also doesn't like Vinny ditching her for the boss' girl Tanya. It's a total Catch (Situation?) 22. Plus 6.

Later, Mike pulls a robbery on Vinny's fake-breasted butter face trash bag, leaving V stunned. What a c*ck, but Even, because you gotta respect the execution.

As if Mike hadn't alienated enough people in one night, he refuses to walk JWoww home from the club because he's workin' on the nightly trash bag. Minus 5.

Plus 10 for JWoww pimp-slapping his ass at home.

Pauly D must confront a Stage 5 Clinger in some Israeli girl that is stalking him. Minus 7, because deep down he was into it and this was kind of wasted time.

Plus 3 for the hilarious phone impression of The Situation in an attempt to throw her off the trail, though. This guy's got The Situation quotes down pat.

The Situation was cruisin' for a bruisin' last night.

Bored and determined to become the most hated man in N.J., Mike plants pickles around Snooki's room. Minus only 1, because a pickle sucker might like that.

Ronnie confronts Mike about his crush on Sammi. Mike says it's obvious "Sammi has a crush on me... it goes back to the days of prehistoric kindergarten." Plus 12.

After some dudes make fun of Snooki (a recurring theme in New Jersey and across the world), Ronnie gets arrested after he takes exception and knocks one of 'em the f*%k out. Minus 15, because the 'roid rage is off the hook with this guy.

TOTAL: +4! SEASON: +46! We wonder if Mike is really just a caricature of Mike, and doing everything he can to act like a jackass. Either way, we'll totally buy it.

Lady Gaga Collapses, Cancels Concert

The incomparable Lady Gaga was forced to cancel a concert in West Lafayette, Ind., at the last minute Thursday night after falling ill and being advised to rest.

The cancellation was announced after the two opening acts had already performed, disappointing a sold-out crowd at Purdue University's Elliott Hall of Music.

It was no joke, though. Lady Gaga became dizzy and was having trouble breathing an hour before the show - a result of exhaustion and dehydration, she said.

"Can't apologize enough for how sorry I am. I could hear my fans cheering from my dressing room. I begged everyone to let me go onstage," Gaga Tweeted.

"My stage has complicated mechanical elements, everyone was concerned I'd be in danger during the show, since I had passed out earlier. I am devastated."

Lady Gaga had to cancel a show. That's gotta be killing her.

Just to further clear things up, she stated: "I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep throat: I would never cancel a show just based on mere discomfort."

"I hope you can forgive me,. I love my little monsters more than anything, you are everything to me. I will make-up the performance on January 26."

It truly must have taken something to knock this dynamic performer out, and it had to eat away at her inside. She's like the Kevin Garnett of music.

However, Gaga will rally in time for today's appearance on Oprah, her rep tells E! News. It's a good thing, too - Winfrey is PUMPED about the interview.

She wrote on Twitter: "Just saw Avatar. WOWEE KAZOWEE!! Interviewing James Cameron tomorrow and LADY GAGA. Can't sleep. So excited!"

Well summated, O.

Stars Donate Time, Money to Earthquake Relief

First, Brangelina stepped up.

Now, many other celebrities are coming through with donations to those affected by the massive earthquake in Haiti this week.

Gisele Bündchen "was so moved, she knew she had to do what she could to help," a source said of the model. So she's donated $1.5 to the relief efforts, as over 100,000 people are reported dead following the 7.0 quake.

Madonna has also given $250,000 to the cause, while Wyclef Jean (a native of Haiti) is raising money for the victims.

"We have to raise a million dollars a day. In four or five days, this whole country is going to be in chaos," Jean said on Fox's Special Report with Bret Baier. "We are calling for a state of emergency. Please, President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – we have to do something for this country."

Meanwhile, George Clooney will host a special telethon on January 22. It will raise funds for the battered Caribbean nation and be carried simultenously on ABC, NBC, CBS, The CW, HBO and CNN.

How can you play a role in this nation's recovery? There are many organizations to which you can donate, but we recommend the American Red Cross. Anything you can afford will help.

Audrina Patridge: Heidi Montag Plastic Surgery Bonanza a Bit Much

When Audrina Patridge is calling you out for having too plastic surgery, you've got issues. Then again, Heidi Montag is probably just thrilled to be mentioned at all.

After all, The Hills star insists on calling herself a pop star and claims her debut album is on par with Michael Jackson's Thriller. Whatever keeps her in the news.

Audrina's take on Heidi Montag's plastic surgery is that it's her body and her choice, but at the same time, she herself wouldn't be tempted to go nearly that far.

"I haven't seen how she looks, so it's hard for me to comment on it, but these are her decisions, and as long as Heidi's happy, that's all that matters," Audzo said.

Very diplomatic.

Audrina Patridge has only mild criticism for her plastic pal.

Rumors that Audrina herself has fake boobs and has undergone other plastic surgery procedures in the past have circulated widely, but she's never confirmed it.

Heidi, on the other hand, seems to milk it for attention. Frightening.

Even while showing the 'Tag support, Audrina Patridge admits surprise at the number of procedures she had. Let's just say she's on par with MJ in something.

"I think it's a case of, 'To each their own,'" she said at Kari Feinstein's Style Lounge at Zune in Hollywood, "but 10 procedures in one day is a little much."

Jessica Biel Won't Talk About "Precious" JT Relationship

Have Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake broken up?

It doesn't sound like it, based on the former's interview with the latest issue of Vogue. But don't ask Biel for many details on her relationship with the sexy singer.

"I don't want to talk about it," she tells the magazine. "I don't feel the need to clear anything up. It's the most precious thing that I have in my life, and I care about it so much that I don't care about what anyone says or thinks. I have just not addressed it in any real way, and I'm not going to. It's mine. And I really like that about it."

Darn Biel for being so... mature and reasonable. What are we supposed to write about now?!?

What's it been like to read about rumored break-ups and problems between her and her man?

"It's definitely been weird and sort of bizarre to deal with," Biel said. "But you have to have a sense of humor about the whole thing. Honestly, I look at a magazine and they know more than I do."

Turns out, other events involving the actress actually far more interesting and impressive than her dating life:

Jessica recently scaled all 19,340 feet og Mt. Kilimanjaro with a group of climbers, including Emile Hirsch, to raise awareness of the global water crisis. Way to go, people!

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth: NOT Engaged... Yet (?!?)

We'll start by shooting down a rumor making its way around the Internet:

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are not engaged! Witnesses apparently spied a diamond ring on the singer's finger, contacted a celebrity gossip site and talk began to surface that the Australian actor had proposed to the 17-year old.

This is not true. But might it be soon?

An insider told E! News that Cyrus does see herself "marrying young." Moreover, she's "totally in love" and has told people in her life that Liam is "the one." (Sorry, Nick Jonas and Justin Gaston, we hope you aren't reading this.)

Adding fuel to this engagement fire? Sources state that Miley and Liam now live together in the Cyrus family home.

Might marriage really be that far behind? Should Miley wait a few years before she settles down? And can Noah Cyrus please stop singing about getting crunked?!?

Those are the questions. What are your answers, readers?

New Moon DVD to Be Released on March 20

New Moon mania is about to start up again.

Granted, it might not be as wild this time around, but a release date has been announced for the Twilight sequel on DVD: it will hit stores on March 20.

In a statement, Summit Entertainment explains the unusual move of releasing a new DVD on a Saturday:

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be released on a Two-Disc Special Edition DVD and Special Edition Blu-ray on March 20, 2010 - a Saturday street date that will allow for fans across the nation to celebrate at retailer's midnight release parties before taking home the film at 12:01 a.m."

Director Chris Weitz, meanwhile, says the DVD will have "about ten minutes of groovy stuff [fans] haven't seen."

Don't worry, Chris. As long as it has Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner shirtless, this thing will sell well.

NBC Executive Blasts Conan O'Brien as an "Astounding Failure"

Wow. Someone is actually on Team Jay!

In an interview with The New York Times, NBC executive Dick Ebersol referred to Conan O'Brien's run on The Tonight Show as an "astounding failure" and said:

"I like Conan enormously personally. He was just stubborn about not being willing to broaden the appeal of his show."

Fair enough. But might a problem also have been related to NBC's unfair, ridiculous decision to air The Jay Leno Show at 10 p.m. every night? Also based in Los Angeles, that program siphoned A-listers from The Tonight Show because it aired first.

Ebersol said he met with Conan three weeks prior to his move to 11:35 p.m. and urged him to alter his approach in order to reach more viewers, but the host refused. O'Brien's reps confirm that a meeting took place between the sides.

As for the shots David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and company are taking at Jay Leno?

"[It's] chicken-hearted and gutless to blame a guy you couldn't beat in the ratings," Ebersol told the newspaper. "They're just striking out at Jay. It seems like professional jealousy."

And that seems like complete and utter BS from a guy that's in charge of a dying network and desperate to defend his job.

Source: Tiger Woods in Sex Rehab

Tiger Woods is in rehab for sex addiction in Mississippi.

Two different sources have seen the world's #1 golfer in the Hattiesburg area. E! News has him at the entrance to the airport there around 10 p.m. Monday.

"He didn't look happy or sad, just straight," a witness says, noting that Tiger Woods got into the driver's seat of an SUV parked curbside and then drove off.

That sighting coincides with a Radar Online report that says the beleaguered star is currently in Hattiesburg to receive treatment at sex addiction facility.

Tiger was seen at Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services. He checked in there this week to receive sex addiction treatment, sources claim.

If true, it would help repair his image, at least a little. Same with his Haiti relief pledge. Going completely off the radar hasn't helped quell Tiger gossip.

Tiger Woods is likely in rehab for sex addiction.

Two police cars pulled up to the clinic Friday afternoon and several officers went inside, showing no outward signs of a disturbance but of increased security.

The clinic is directed by Dr. Patrick Carnes, who pioneered treatment for sexually compulsive behavior, and is widely considered one of the best in the field.

Tiger Woods has not been seen in public since his infamous post-Thanksgiving car crash into a fire hydrant and tree exposed his dalliances with Rachel Uchitel.

That led to more than 10 women coming forward and admitting to sexual relationships with Tiger. His wife, Elin Woods, has not filed for divorce from him ... yet.

Whether she plans to is anyone's guess, although we reported in December that Tiger was planning a rehab stint after the holidays to help salvage his marriage.

Adam Lambert Laments Loss of Simon Cowell on American Idol (to Oprah!)

When two global icons sit down for a televised chat Tuesday afternoon, we can now confirm one topic of discussion:

Adam Lambert and Oprah Winfrey will talk about Simon Cowell's departure from American Idol. How does the singer feel about that news?

“The audience will definitely miss Simon,” he said. “The contestants will miss out on really honest criticism. Sometimes it can be a little personal, and I know other contestants took it to heart sometimes and got really stressed out about what he would say. [But] I think that that’s important to making you a better performer."

But, don't worry American Idol fans, Lambert says the show will most definitely go on... and one.

“Ultimately, after the first couple weeks of auditions, the audience tunes in every week for the contestants. [Audiences] grow fond of one or a couple of the people and they get behind them and they’re invested in them... we tune in to hear the contestants blossom or not.”

Adam will also perform the single "Whataya Want From Me" on the show. You can watch its official music video NOW.

Tenley Molzahn: Pregnant on The Bachelor?

With the drama of Rozlyn Papa and her "inappropriate" relationship with producer Ryan Callahan dying down, you knew The Bachelor had a new scandal brewing.

The bomb waiting to be dropped this week? Tenley Molzahn reveals to Jake Pavelka that she's pregnant! Well, maybe. Kind of reeks of a promo-only stunt to us.

Tenley, who works in admissions for the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Huntington Beach, Calif., confesses in a preview that she's knocked up.

The 25-year-old was previously married, and said last week, "I haven't dated anyone since my ex-husband," leaving us wondering who the father of her baby is.

Our guess? No one. Tenley Molzahn is punking Jake and two seconds after she drops the baby bomb, she'll proclaim "Ha, just kidding!" Take that to the bank.

PERFECT TENLEY: Pregnant or not, will she win The Bachelor's heart?

Interestingly, the sweet, beautiful Tenley is said to make the final two this season, along with Vienna Girardi, according to The Bachelor spoilers we've read.

That's just speculation, but our source has been right before.

Namely, we knew about the Molly-Melissa switcheroo by Jason Mesnick, Ed Swiderski winning The Bachelorette (and likely cheating on Jillian), and the Rozlyn scandal.

What do you think? Is Tenley Molzahn pregnant? Does she have good chemistry with The Bachelor, Jake Pavelka? Are you rooting for her this season? Comment!

This, so far... all of the cities... best vocal we've seen yet. You've got skills. This kid is hot! This is the real deal right here.

So said Randy Jackson to Jermaine Sellers on American Idol last week.

Sellers, who hails from Illinois, possessed more than just incredible vocal talent on the show. Prior to his audition in Atlanta, viewers learned of his heart-breaking, impressive personal story:

Since he was 17, Jermaine has take care of his mother, who suffers from spina bifida, a birth defect of the spine that can lead to paralysis of the lower limbs.

What else do we know about this potential finalist? According to his MySpace page:

• Starting at age 14, Sellers has signed a number of record deals. However, he's never produced a finished album.
• He's performed on Royal Caribbean cruises.
• Last year, he appeared on the BET talent show "Sunday Best." He finished third on the competition.
• He writes that his motto is: "No trial, no triumph."

As one of the most interesting singers to nab a golden ticket to Hollywood, we'll be keeping our eye on Sellers. We recommend you do the same.
