Kari Ann Peniche Wants a Piece of Tiger Woods

Everyone wants a piece of Tiger Woods ... if you know what we mean! For many women, we mean sexually. For Kari Ann Peniche, we're talking about fame.

Remember Kari Ann? No? Shocking. She's only the 2004 Miss USA winner who was stripped of her title... and last year stripped for the Eric Dane nude tape.

When she's not in rehab, appearing on VH1 reality shows, getting engaged to random celebs and posing naked, Kari Ann Peniche is also an aspiring singer.

She's almost as good as Heidi Montag, to give you an idea.

Her latest "effort" is an ode to Tiger Woods and his many mistresses, entitled "U Me and Tiger Makes 3." Sounds like a ripoff of Britney Spears' "3." Oh well.

Every once in awhile, Kari Ann Peniche turns up somehow.

Nothing like trying to reclaim your 15 minutes at the expense of a huge sex scandal. Classy move. Not that we're surprised ... after all, this is Kari Ann Peniche.

Follow the jump to see this nonsense for yourself ...

Haeley Vaughn: The Colorado Country Crooner

On last night's American Idol audition episode, 26 Denver-based contestants earned a ticket to Hollywood. One of them was Casey James, a rumored semifinalist we've previously profiled.

Another was Haeley Vaughn.

This 16-year old from Fort Collins, Colorado may have stood out more than any aspiring singer yet on season nine. For what reason? We can name a few:

• Born premature, Haeley weighed just two pounds as a newborn.
• Her father died when she was 10.
• Her dream is to be an "black Carrie Underwood or a female Darius Rucker."

There aren't exactly an overwhelming number of African-American country singers out there, giving Vaughn a unique niche. Watch her audition below and comment away: Does she have what it takes to be the next American Idol?

Jersey Shore Guidos to Fist-Pump Straight Outta N.J.

Now that they've all been re-signed for a second season, the cast of Jersey Shore will be fist-pumping its way to greener, fake-tanned pastures. Or something.

The only different aspect of the hit show for the new season is ... the location. That's right. The cast is officially back, but won't be back in Seaside Heights.

It's unclear whether this is because that town somehow barred them, or whether the network simply wants to bring the merry band of guidos back sooner.

Perhaps MTV can put a new season together faster without waiting for summer in the Garden State. Or they just want to inflict pain on other cities/countries.

NOTHIN' BUT CLASS: Coming to a lucky city or nation to be named later!

Whatever the reason, the network has scouted 10 cities in the U.S. for the location of the upcoming Season Two, and have also expanded their search abroad.

Get ready for more than your fill of Snooki nude, Earth.

Producers have contacted Pauly D, J-Woww and the gang to make sure everyone has a valid passport. Downright frightening for every other nation on Earth.

What city or country should MTV torture with The Situation quotes, Ronnie beating the crap out of strangers and many glimpses down J-Woww's yellow top?

Bachelor Host Weighs in on Ali-Vienna Feud

Ali Fedotowsky hates Vienna Girardi so hard on The Bachelor. Chris Harrison, the show's venerable host-pimp, says that attitude may come back to bite her.

On this week's episode, the Ali vs. Vienna war raged on. Ali in particular just can't deal. But Chris warns that the two ladies need to get over their bickering.

Otherwise, Jake Pavelka may just shun them both!

"Vienna and Ali are two of Jake's favorites," Harrison said. "The funny thing is, those two are beating each other up so bad, Tenley is just skating through."

"[Tenley Molzahn] is so sweet and maybe she doesn't outwardly show it, but I think she realizes, 'Hey, you guys just keep on fighting amongst yourselves!'"

Ali Fedotowsky and Vienna Girardi look so nice here, but ...

Ali Fedotowsky, Harrison adds, "has to forget about Vienna and worry about herself." He says she needs to realize, "'Enough with the bickering, cattiness."

"If I'm going to do this, I need to be with Jake. If Jake likes [Vienna], then so be it. I can't judge why she's here, and I just need to take care of myself.'"

Adds Harrison, "The quicker she realizes that, the better she will be."

Ali and Vienna Girardi "think that they're so different, but they aren't," Harrison adds. "I mean, their personalities, on the surface, appear to be different."

"But they are really caring, loving people. They think, if Jake likes Vienna or if Jake likes Ali, he can't possibly like me, but in actuality they don't realize how similar they are because obviously they don't get to see how they are on a date."

Ryan Cabrera and Audrina Patridge: It's On!

Looks like those Audrina Patridge-Ryan Cabrera rumors are legit.

Well, at least legit in the sense that they're chilling, hand-in-hand.

In a photo obtained by Us Weekly, The Hills star and the musician held hands at the Casa Dorada Los Cabos Resort and Spa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Monday ...

Ryan Cabrera sure looks like Audrina Patridge's type!

Audrina Patridge celebrated New Year's at the posh resort, and The Hills star took Cabrera back just three weeks later. Are things heating up between them?

The couple, who dated several years ago, rekindled things about three weeks ago. The were spotted getting cozy catching Rock of Ages on Broadway in NYC.

"Ryan is a great guy," a pal says. "Audrina is having fun!"

Most famously linked to Justin "Bobby" Brescia, a co-star from The Hills, Audzo broke up with Aussie BMX racer Corey Bohan after two months in October.

Kellan Lutz is a Warrior

Can Kellan Lutz carry a movie? We're about to find out.

The actor best known for playing Emmett Cullen in the Twilight Saga anchors the upcoming Warrior. In it, the hunky star plays Conor Sullivan, a self-destructive teen that has trouble handling his father's death.

But time spent at a wilderness lacrosse camp will do wonders for Conor's world view, along with his relationship with Brooklyn - played by New Moon co-star Ashley Greene!

It's an on-screen reunion that will likely cause millions of Twihards to give Warrior a shot. Check out a few photos from the film below, starting with a Lutz and Greene embrace...

While the Twilight Saga cast will appear together in Eclipse, most went their separate ways in between sequels.

Lutz and Greene shot this drama together; Kristen Stewart stars as Joat Jett in this winter's The Runaways; and Robert Pattinson leaves the vampire world behind in March's Remember Me.

Elisabetta Canalis and George Clooney: Doomed to Fail!

One minute, they're considering a family.

The next, their relationship is "doomed to fail," reports state.

Such is the tumultuous world inhibited by Elisabetta Canalis and George Clooney, at least according to The National Enquirer. Indeed, while every other tabloid on the planet invents rumors about a Brangelina break-up, this newspaper creates stories about the Oscar-nominated star and his Italian girlfriend.

The latest? Canalis is crazy with jealousy!

"Elisabetta gets very possessive when George pays too much attention to another woman," an anonymous friend said. "When other women get too close to him, she always slips her hand around his arm as if to say, 'He's mine!'"

For example, Elisabetta was supposedly full of rage at last month's Golden Globes when Julianna Margulies stopped to hug Clooney on her way to the stage.

The discontent allegedly continued at a party after the event, as "Elisabetta bristled at the parade of women who were very affectionate with kisses... and the fact that George enjoyed the attention."

This insider adds that Clooney is merely friends with these female acquaintances, and Canalis is risking her relationship by taking issue with his interactions. Actually, that's not exactly how the source put it. He said:

"George is very comfortable with Elisabetta, but if she starts rocking his boat regarding his friendships with women, she'll find herself walking the plank."

That doesn't sound like a made-up quote at all, does it?

Katie Price and Alex Reid: Married!

Model Katie Price and Alex Reid, who she began dating shortly after she divorced Peter Andre last year, married in Las Vegas, her spokesman told the BBC.

The pair married in a "private, simple ceremony" Tuesday. "We are very much in love and look forward to the future together," they said in a statement.

In November, Price revealed that the two had broken up. She said then: "It's best that I'm on my own. I don't want a relationship... I'm not with him, no."

Price also apologized for her antics since her break-up with ex-husband Peter Andre, saying she had "acted like a right twit." The pair divorced last year.

Model Price - formerly known as Jordan - and Alex Reid, a cage fighter who won their nation's version of Big Brother Friday, are due back in the UK soon.

The couple said in a statement: "We can't wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who we know fully support our wishes."

Alex Reid is now Mr. Katie Price! [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

Naturally, this being Katie Price we're talking about, some people are skeptical as to whether this wedding is a good idea, or done for the right reasons.

On cue, a spokesman for the couple added: "Their decision to marry has not been made with any pre-conceived commercial plan or media deal in place, and their reason for getting married is purely down to their love for each other."

Perhaps we shouldn't be too shocked, either. Price said in a recent magazine interview that "This year I will marry Alex and I'm going to have his kids."

Look for her to be knocked up any day now.

Asked about the surprise development, Peter Andre said he had "no negative feelings" about the marriage of Price and Reid. "As long as there's a good influence to the kids, I'm happy. I don't have any negative feelings inside me. If they're happy, great."

What do you think? Will Jordan and Alex Reid last?

Simon Monjack Pulls Plug on Brittany Murphy Benefit

The late Brittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, has abruptly canceled a charity gala in her name just days before the event was due to take place.

Yesterday, we told you about the expensive event Monjack was organizing for his new "Brittany Murphy Foundation," a.k.a. the Simon Monjack slush fund.

The alleged screenwriter's benefit tomorrow at the Beverly Hills Saban Theatre was to celebrate the actress' legacy and to raise funds for art education.

He was reportedly planning to charge an entry fee of $1,000 per individual and $10,000 for corporations to attend the event, raising many eyebrows.

But Simon Monjack has now canceled the party without explanation.

Simon Monjack married Brittany Murphy in 2007.

The Clueless actress died at her Hollywood home in December after suffering cardiac arrest. She was 32. The official cause of death remains unclear.

Her spouse has been active on the PR circuit since, by all accounts defending his wife, but quite possibly with the motive of clearing his own name too.

According to reports, Monjack is insisting that the big-ticket party in his late wife's honor was simply postponed, but so far, no new date has been set.

As with everything he does, Simon is once again bringing the shady. No explanation ... no makeup date ... suing Warner Brothers for "killing" Brittany?

This dude is one bad seed.

Brad Pitt: I Love Jennifer Aniston (According to OK)!

Like clockwork, it's the middle of the week, and that means a deluge of tabloid reports announcing the imminent split of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Shocking!

After a certain point, don't they feel this damages their credibility a little bit? We realize they're supermarket tabloids, but 40 weeks in a row of the same thing?

At least this week's OK! bombshell has a slightly new twist: Brad Pitt still loves Jennifer Aniston, and can't stand Angelina, but is conflicted because of the kids!

Despite "presenting a united front for awards season," Brangelina's relationship is dissolving, and friends say Brad is regretting ever leaving Jennifer Aniston.

Still, he'll stay Angie for his children’s sake... BUT FOR HOW LONG!?

I STILL LOVE JEN, says a tabloid editor posing as Brad.

“Brad was very calm and mellow and gave a great, funny speech" at the Director’s Guild Awards, reports a source, adding: “He and Angie seemed very happy.”

But are they really? Deep down? No, OK! says.

They put on a good show, but Ian Halperin, author of Brangelina: The Untold Story, predicts that the couple will announce their split “when no one expects it.”

Not open-ended or vague at all there, Ian.

We'll see how much longer Brad can stand being with a crazy woman he doesn't even share a car with, all the while sneaking around with his former wife.

Our guess is awhile. Below are more covers featuring the couple this week, with Star insinuating again that Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp are a thing:

Heidi Montag Speaks on Circus Freak Status

In the wake of her recent plastic surgery binge, Heidi Montag says her mom looked at her like a circus freak. That's really insulting ... to actual circus freaks.

One can understand Darlene Egelhoff's reaction upon seeing her daughter after she was transformed via 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day, however.

An anxious Heidi headed to her hometown of Crested Butte, Colo., to face her mother with The Hills camera crew in tow, and was greeted in abject horror.

"I was nervous, but also excited … I never thought in my wildest dreams she was going to react the way she did," the surgically un-enhanced one recalled.

"She was looking at me almost like a zoo animal. It wasn't like I was her daughter anymore. She was looking at me like I was a circus freak," says Heidi.

WOMAN OR CYBORG? Heidi is barely recognizable to her own mom.

So where does her turbulent relationship with mom stand now? Heidi Montag says that "I tried to leave it as best as I could, but my heart was breaking."

Guess that Mother's Day gift won't be going over too well.

"I think she was most upset that Spencer was there for me and she wasn't," the disturbed 23-year-old continued. "[My mom] was saying how sad it is that my confidence is gone because of the music industry I'm trying to get into."

Right. It's the music industry's fault. Hopefully her abysmal album sales will nudge Heidi in another career direction, although you can't undo 10 surgeries.

Montag, who still struggles with daily pain but has no regrets, says, "I just wanted to be the most beautiful, inside and out. It's part of being a pop star."

Or a complete and utter narcissistic moron.

It's unclear if Mz. Berry, the winner of For the Love of Ray J 2, will be featured on the series. Our guess? No.

Our disappointment? Severe.

Vienna Girardi Accused of Cheating on Marine Ex, Draining His Bank Account to Pay For Boob Job

The Bachelor hopeful Vienna Girardi is portrayed as pure evil by the other aspiring Jake Pavelka trophy wives. We always felt this was a little bit unfair.

If the allegations made by the new issue of Us Weekly are true, however, that's a different story. Maybe Ali Fedotowsky and Co. are onto something.

Vienna Girardi is a apparently an unemployed former Hooters waitress who withdrew the last $5,000 from her ex-husband Josh Riley's bank account.

The reason? To pay for breast implants, obviously. Hey, when you're a topless model for some random calendar, you do what you gotta do, right V?

Oh, and he was deployed in Iraq with the Marines at the time, during which he also says she cheated on him. Jake Pavelka, you'd better beware!

Vienna Girardi: Even worse than portrayed on The Bachelor!

"She took every bit of his money," Vienna's former mother-in-law Gale tells Us. "I know for a fact that the boob job was the first thing she had done."

What's more, when Josh Riley returned from his tour of duty (he was injured in Iraq during an explosion), Girardi had moved on ... and not told him.

Vienna "locked his belongings in storage and would not tell us where they were," Gale said, noting that they were married 10 months after eloping.

Poor guy also discovered that while he was in Iraq, "she slept with one of my buddies I was deployed with. I'm 99 percent sure she cheated on me."

Adds Riley, "Marrying her was a mistake." Sounds like it, man!

Any advice for Jake, who picks her on the season finale, according to Bachelor spoilers we've read? "I'd rather not comment," Riley said. "I'd like to forget."

Ellen DeGeneres on Simon Cowell: He's Mean!

Last night, American Idol viewers met a pair of rumored semifinalists: Casey James and Haeley Vaughn.

But while we're excited to hear more from them and other singers, the focus of the show will likely return to the judging table next week. That's because Ellen DeGeneres debuts as a panelist on Tuesday night.

Asked about her co-star by Entertainment Tonight, Ellen recently said: "He's actually meaner than I thought. It's hard to listen to him tell people things and me not to go, 'You poor thing!'"

Despite this critique, and despite rumors that she and Cowell are already fighting, an insider says everything is fine between the pair.

Yes, Simon appeared late at a taping last month, but apologized and DeGeneres "accepted it right away and was fine," says the source.

So, can Ellen offer any spoilers about which contestants make it far in Hollywood? No, but she does tease: "We have a wide variety [of talent]... somebody for everybody, I hope."

She's already getting good at this marketing game. Are you excited for her to take part on the show?

Phil Harris Emerges From Coma, Tells Doctors "Don't F*%k Up"

Stroke? What stroke?

Deadliest Catch Captain Phil Harris woke up from a medically induced coma yesterday, according to reports, and even did so with typically salty flair.

Sons Jake and Josh Harris, who are also featured on the Discovery Channel series with their dad, said he "showed some good signs of improvement."

Jake and Josh say he was "squeezing our hands and even summoning his trademark captain's bluntness by telling doctors and nurses, 'Don't f--k up.'"

Somehow not surprising!

Here's wishing Phil Harris (middle) a speedy, salty recovery.

The elder Harris, a Deadliest Catch fixture since the show's launch, was found unconscious during an offload of crab (it's in season) late last week.

He was airlifted to Anchorage, Alaska, where endured 12 hours of surgery and the Cornelia Marie skipper was placed in a medically induced coma.

Harris had been placed in a coma to reduce brain swelling.

The stroke he suffered occurred near St. Paul Island, Alaska. The Emmy-winning Deadliest Catch takes place there and on the high seas, of course.

Get well soon, Phil!

Pamela Anderson: Possibly Wrecked By a Train

Pamela Anderson hosted a launch party for her A*Muse fashion line in Miami yesterday. The number of people that showed up for it? 20.

We're pretty sure The Situation has more abdominal muscles than that.

It's unclear what kept everyone away. After all, who wouldn't wanna purchase clothing from someone that dresses like this?

Pamela Anderson's breasts were bigger than the size of the crowd at her fashion show this week. [Photos: Splash News Online]

Pamela's poor showing is unlikely to keep her in the United States.

Earlier this week, her agent told Great Britain's The Sun that the busty actress "loves it in England and is looking at buying two houses, one in London and one by the sea. She has a real affection for the place."

A couple years ago, we'd have been sad to see Anderson go. But now we have Jessica Simpson to take her place as an air-headed, large-breasted former A-lister with equal disregard for public decorum.

Lauren Conrad on Heidi Montag: It's a Look ...

Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag will always be linked by The Hills.

Even a full season after LC retired from the show she made famous, and years after she and Heidi stopped being close, she's still asked about her.

LC was reluctant to comment on the recent Heidi Montag plastic surgery debacle this morning on Good Morning America, but did so diplomatically.

Asked what her reaction was after seeing Heidi's new appearance, which some liken to that of a circus freak, Conrad paused and said, "It's a look."

That it is. And that's as nicely as one can put it. Well done, LC!

Lauren Conrad won't criticize her former BFF, but says surgery isn't for her.

Conrad, who just celebrated her 24th birthday Monday, said despite the pressures on young women in Hollywood, she won't be going under the knife.

Asked if she'd had or considered plastic surgery, the best-selling author and fashion designer laughed and said "not so far, no... it's a personal choice."

"Everybody's different. Everybody needs to do what's good for them."

Lauren Conrad left The Hills after five seasons and is now focusing on her fashion line at Kohl's, plus her work as an author of young adult fiction books.

Montag is focusing on undergoing plastic surgery pretty much constantly and coming out with some of the worst music in human history. Team Lauren!

Duggar Kids Save Little Girl's Life

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are often criticized for having too many kids. But if the stars of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting didn't have such an enormous brood, a six-year-old Arkansas girl might not be alive today. Think about that!

Two of the Duggar sons, Joshua and John, are being hailed as heroes after family members said they helped save the life of a girl injured in a car crash.

A three-car pileup happened in front of Joshua Duggar's car dealership, Fort Smith, Ark., TV station KHBS reports - and it's a good thing he was there.

“I thought it was a fender bender, no big deal, happens quite often here actually," Joshua Duggar said. "Then I realized there was a little girl involved."

The airbags had been deployed and she wasn't wearing a seat belt. Joshua called 911 immediately and then brought the unconscious girl into his office.

Great job, Joshua and John ... we know you're in there somewhere!

She was not breathing, so he and brother John started CPR. Paramedics showed up and with the Duggars’ help, they were able to revive her!

“They realized there was something blocking her airway. She had been eating, and it caused the blockage of the airway,” Joshua Duggar said.

The girl, Maddye, is hospitalized in critical condition, but family members say she wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for Josh's quick thinking.

Not that he takes any credit.

“The Springdale paramedics did a phenomenal job," he said. "I was just a piece of the puzzle, a very small piece at that. I'm just grateful."

Maddye was flown to Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, the same hospital where the 19th Duggar baby, Josie Brooklyn, was born.

Eminem Reportedly Back Together with (Pregnant!) Ex

Eminem and Kim Mathers have been married twice.

In 2000, a year after they first tied the knot, Kim attempted suicide and then sued the rapper for defamation after he sung about her violent death in the single "Kim."

The couple remarried in 2006, only to divorce again three months later. Eminem once said: "I'd rather have a baby through my penis than get married again;" while Kim has referred to her ex as being "unathletic" in bed.

In other words: this has been a rocky relationship. Which makes the following rumor entirely possible.

Star Magazine reports that Eminem and Kim aren't just back together; they're expecting a child together this spring! Said a source:

"When he came into Kim's life again in a romantic way, she was floored. Kim's pregnancy is going smoothly."

That's more than we can say about the past between this pair. But, hey, best of luck to them!

From suicide attempts to lawsuits to small penis references, Eminem and Kim Mathers have been through a lot.

Molly Malaney, Jason Mesnick Upset Over Bachelor Wedding Manipulation By Network

Looks like Vienna Girardi and Jake Pavelka don't have a monopoly on The Bachelor drama. Molly Malaney and Jason Mesnick are dealing with their share.

Last season's Bachelor stars are getting married on TV next month. With that comes plenty of drama. And possibly DeAnna Pappas. And Melissa Rycroft.

Molly and Jason got engaged last fall, and agreed to tie the knot on TV in a two-hour wedding special airing March 8, presumably for millions of dollars.

But will it be worth it? The couple is already fighting over the guest list, according to a friend, as ABC wants to turn the wedding into a Bachelor reunion.

Producers want Melissa Rycroft - Jason’s #1 choice, who he dumped for Molly after the season - and former Bachelorette star DeAnna Pappas to be there.

Molly Malaney reportedly isn’t happy about ABC's wedding meddling.

“ABC is basically controlling the guest list, and they’re inviting former [Bachelor stars] Molly and Jason don’t even know,” the insider says. “Molly is fine with that."

"However, she’s not especially thrilled about Melissa attending her wedding, because she thinks it will turn into a circus.” Which is probably what Mike Fleiss wants.

In any case, DeAnna Pappas, who negged Jason on The Bachelorette season finale, tells In Touch that she’s looking forward to the magical, staged event.

"I’ll be there with my boyfriend, Stephen,” she says, declining to give us a last name. “I'm so happy that Jason found Molly, as they really are the perfect couple.”

We agree. We're sure Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney will get through these pre-wedding jitters. With Chris Harrison officiating, how can they go wrong?
