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.

** UPDATE: Eminem's rep says: "Contrary to false rumors spread by unreliable tabloids, Marshall and Kim Mathers are not romantically reunited in any way, nor are they expecting a child together."

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?

Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick: Trouble in Paradise?

Looks like a rough patch for Gossip Girl co-stars Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick.

They're still together, but things have seemed very tense between them the past few weeks, explains an insider, who says it's even spilled over onto the set.

Jessica’s been unable to hide her emotions on set, reports In Touch, citing a crew member who recently witnessed her in tears while in her dressing room.

Making matters worse, Ed doesn’t seem concerned with his girlfriend’s feelings.

On January 29, the British actor and a male friend were seen entertaining two ladies at the Melrose Bar & Grill in LA - and Jessica was nowhere in sight.

“It looked like he was on a double date,” says an onlooker, and according to an eyewitness, Ed and a friend took off with two girls after dinner in LA.

Is it curtains for Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr?

A Rare Glimpse Inside Jennifer Aniston's ... Bathroom

Amazingly, a magazine deigned to feature Jennifer Aniston this week and not mention the fact that she 1. is lonely; 2. used to be married to Brad Pitt.

It's Architectural Digest. Seriously.

This fine publication spends absolutely no time talking about the star's love life, opting to focus on her newly renovated Beverly Hills home instead.

Quite a concept!

Jennifer Aniston in her new home ... scandalous! Right? Anyone?

There is this one line. According to the mag, the house "originally had his-and-hers baths, but Aniston turned the 'his' into a spa with a soaking tub."

Way to stick it to men and embrace your single life, Jen! Although from what we've heard, Brad still loves her, so she may have to change it back.

They may never get back together, she and Brad will be forever linked. This issue hits newsstands February 9. Last year at this time, it featured ...

Brad Pitt.

Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato Shoot Down Feud Rumors, Dine

In a July 2009 interview, Demi Lovato had a simple message: Miley Cyrus is my total BFF!

By October, however, tension seemed to have arisen between the pair, as Lovato Tweeted to Miley that she barely knew her anymore. This exchange took place soon after Demi broke up with Trace Cyrus.

Her good friend and her boyfriend in tow, life could be worse for Miley Cyrus.

Jon Stewart vs. Bill O'Reilly: Choose a Side

While it came across more like a conversation between two reluctant friends than an epic battle between good and evil, Jon Stewart appeared on The O'Reilly Factor last night.

The Fox News host tried to engaged The Daily Show anchor by referring to his audience as “stoned slackers who love Obama,” but Stewart didn't take the bait. He merely responded with a chuckle and carefully laid out President Obama's first-year strengths and weaknesses.

It was a nuanced, fair explanation, the kind Fox News viewers must have been utterly confounded by. Watch an exchange between the hosts below:

Jon Stewart on The O'Reilly Factor

It's clear Stewart appeared on the wrong show, as he admitted O'Reilly was the "sanest" voice at the network, although he added: “That’s like being the thinnest kid at fat camp.”

Put the Comedy Central star against Glenn Beck, however, and we'd imagine the sparks would fly. Stewart made multiple references to Beck's - how shall we put it? - unique style of BSing viewers with whatever sob story would garner the most ratings.

The biggest laugh of the interview? When O'Reilly claimed Beck did not have a right-wing agenda.

Because these two almost got along too well - Stewart saved his most damning critique for Fox News, saying it sells "the clearest narrative" and works fans into a tizzy via a passion-based, "cyclonic" barrage of information that spins reasonable arguments into outrageous claims - we need to ratchet up the intensity between each's supporters.

Melissa Rycroft to Work For Entertainment Tonight

Melissa Rycroft, who starred on The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars last year, has scored a gig as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.

That won't hurt ratings!

The gorgeous, just-married 26-year-old Texan just agreed to take the job with the entertainment and celebrity news program, according to her rep.

"She debuts on tonight's broadcast and is currently in L.A. working," her rep said. "She's going to stay in Dallas and fly in for special assignments."

We expect Melissa Rycroft to be a natural.

Once an entertainment staple, Melissa has become an entertainment reporter.

Her first assignment? The star-studded "We Are the World" remake. Her rep says ET will also sent her to award ceremonies, premieres and set visits.

Rycroft, who married Tye Strickland in December, is no stranger to the hustle and bustle of showbiz, or reporting on its goings on from the other side.

She's also working for Good Morning America as of last month.

If she's not in the bridal party, we hope she gets assigned to cover the wedding of Molly Malaney and Jason Mesnick. In two words: Awk. Ward.

Jersey Shore Ready to Take Miami?

No offense, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, but taking your reality show to the Sunshine State accomplished little other than a brief run-in with a THG editor.

Well, that and Kourtney getting knocked up by Scott Disick.

In any case, there's a Category 3 fist pump warning in South Florida as of this morning, as MTV is scouting beaches in Miami for a perfect spot for Season 2.

The producers of Jersey Shore recently contacted Miami's Mynt Lounge, asking for clearance to shoot inside the club in March-April. Sprinnggg Breaaaaak!!!

Are Vinny, Snooki, The Situation and cohorts Miami-bound?

Reports suggest that 495 Productions is "currently researching Miami Beach as a possible location" for Season 2, which the full Jersey Shore cast is on board for.

However, they "won't be able to shoot the show on Miami Beach unless we're able to shoot in the hottest clubs." Nothing but class for Snooki, Pauly D & Co.

While Miami would be an obvious and worthy choice, Jersey Shore has not committed to one city yet and is still scouting nine other cities here and abroad.

The Situation should be bringing home a broad a night regardless of where he and his fellow guidos end up. Sorry, but you had to know that was coming.

Report: Tiger Woods to Leave Sex Rehab This Week

Tiger Woods will be completing his sex addiction rehab treatment this week and none other than wife Elin Woods is picking him up, according to reports.

Elin has flown to Hattiesburg, Miss., to bring Tiger home, sources say.

The embattled golfing legend is at the end of his program at Gentle Path. When Tiger leaves he and Elin plan to go away together, alone, for a few days.

Reports suggest, and anecdotal evidence supports that Elin Woods has called off the divorce – at least for now – and is giving Tiger a second chance.

Elin Woods previously spent five days with Tiger as part of his therapy program. Security made sure she was unseen by the media in Hattiesburg.

Amazingly, Elin and Tiger Woods may still make this work.

“He should be out by the weekend,” a source close to the situation said, noting that it's just the beginning. “They are giving their marriage another try.”

Tiger Woods was planning to return to golf by the Spring, according to various reports, and that is still on schedule. He may try to play even sooner.

“He wants his life back,” one source said.

Tiger has been in rehab for about six weeks. A secret life of cheating was exposed when the National Enquirer outed his relationship with Rachel Uchitel.

There are 11 Tiger Woods mistresses we know about, and probably even more. But somehow, he seems to have weathered the marital storm with Elin.

Didi Benami: American Idol Hopeful, Heart-Breaker

Darn you, American Idol!

We work so hard to remain numb during the early audition episodes of this show, as Fox aims to tug at heart strings more than impress viewers with actual vocal talent.

While the singers and their skills will be on full display next week in Hollywood, these editions of the competition are typically reserved for joke acts (see Platt, Larry) and emotional backstories that leave us rolling our eyes like Katy Perry.

But Didi Benami broke down our cynical exteriors last night.

During her audition, the Los Angeles native burst out in tears at the memory of a friend that passed away four years ago. When asked by Kara if she wanted this badly, the beautiful blonde simply lost it.

Fortunately, Didi could also carry a major tune. She impressed judges with a rendition of "Hey Jude" and received unanimous approval for Hollywood. She's also rumored to be a semifinalist.

Benami plays the guitar and attended Belmont University. The Hebrew definition of her real first name (Vered) means "rose."

Watch Didi's audition below and chime in: Were you moved by this singer's performance and her backstory?

Lindsay Lohan Has Junk in Trunk, Everywhere Else

Lindsay Lohan's pad is apparently a cesspool of disease. Or at least clutter.

According to The Insider, she's a hoarder. Like, OCD style. Her bedroom has become a warehouse of shoes; her living room filled with rack upon rack of clothes.

"I just need to get rid of ... stuff," she said. "That's personal stuff I have to work on."

That quote could be interpreted in so many different ways ...

Issues. Serious issues. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

In the interview, set to air Thursday, Niecy Nash, host of the Style Network's Clean House reality show, has a sit-down with the oft-troubled Lindsay Lohan.

Nash theorizes that the alleged actress may be using hoarding as a coping mechanism for the estranged relationship she has with her father, Michael Lohan.

Psychobabble or not, the girls' got serious problems. Like cutting herself, doing drugs, alcoholism, not eating, a refusal to wear pants a lot of times, etc., etc.

"It's kind of a sore subject," she says in the teaser, which promises to reveal her emotional, "private pain" for the first time ... probably for a lot of money.

Follow the jump for a clip of Lindsay the hoarder ...

Nick Jonas Campaigns for President, Teases Selena Gomez Relationship

Might Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly debate about President Nick Jonas someday?

Last summer, the singer joked about running for the highest office in the world. He's even named his new band "The Administration." All random, fun talk, right?

Maybe not.

In a new interview, Jonas was once again asked about his political aspirations and said: “I think it started off as a joke, but now I feel it’s becoming a bit more serious and starting my campaign now. It would be fun to be president. We’ll see what happens."

If he runs on a platform of good hair and promise rings, Nick might actually win.

Perhaps even more buzz-worthy than his possible Presidential run, Jonas also talked about his rumored relationship with Selena Gomez. The pair were spotted at dinner together this week.

“I try to keep it a bit to myself and keep it a bit private,” he said. “We always try to find time to go out and hang out with people we enjoy spending time with and as far as that future of that relationship goes, I will keep that to myself for right now.”

Sounds perfectly fair and mature. But doesn't sound like a denial, either, does it?

Below, you can check out Jonas and his band performing on yesterday's Ellen DeGeneres show.

Lauren Conrad: Seventeen Cover Girl

The lovely Lauren Conrad, former reality star and current designer and author, is featured in next month’s issue of Seventeen. Needless to say, she looks terrific.

As LC said on Good Morning America this week, when asked about Heidi Montag and her recent plastic surgery, she won't be going under the knife anytime soon.

She's a natural beauty and a good role model for teens in that respect. Below are some excerpts from LC's interview with Seventeen, along with a bunch of pics:

On getting cut off: "Seventeen was a happy time for me, but 18 was hard. At 18 I was cut off financially! People think I've had it easy, but I haven't as much as you think ... When I went to college, I wasn't going to class in Louis Vuitton."

"There were times when my bank account was zero. I was financially independent, but I wasn't exactly living a lavish life. My dad was really adamant about that. He would say 'You're going to go to college and live it like everyone else.'"

On self-confidence: "There's always someone telling you your nose is too big or too small, or you're too fat or too thin. There's always going to be someone who doesn't approve of something about you. You're the only person you need to please."

On cheating: "I never really understood cheating because I've never cheated on anyone. I feel like if you are in a relationship with someone, and you want to be with other people, then you shouldn't be in a relationship - it's that simple!"

On her books' protagonist: "Jane is the main character [of Sweet Little Lies] and most like me. But also when I was more sarcastic and against [being on] the The Hills, I was able to illustrate that through Scarlett, her best friend."

On The Hills: "You set out to do a show based on your life, but you end up living a life based on your show. Everything you do has to be cleared - where you work, everyone who comes to your birthday, people you date, what clothes you wear."

"I actually had to get the paint color for my apartment approved by the director of photography. It was things like that that I really don't miss."

Pamela Anderson Signs on for Dancing with the Stars

It sounds like Dancing with the Stars is about to become Bouncing with the Breasts.

Sources have confirmed to Radar Online that Pamela Anderson will compete on the new season of this ABC competition. It premieres on March 22.

“Pam is thrilled. She really wanted to do the show and the show thought it was a great idea,” said an insider, who refrained from commenting on whether or not ABC would air the series on a 27-second delay, in anticipation of all impending wardrobe malfunctions.

[Photo: Splash News]

Earlier this week, Anderson hosted a fashion show that was only attended by 20 people. She also looked like this at the event.

What do you think of her addition to the Dancing with the Stars cast? ABC will announce the celebrities competing on the new season during the March 1 season finale of The Bachelor. If Pamela is chosen, the debate will begin:

Which is more fake, her breasts or Jake Pavelka's love for rumored winner Vienna Girardi?

Weatherman Reports Nine Inches of Snow, Self

Massachusetts meteorologist Pete Bouchard raised some eyebrows last week while giving viewers a rundown on snowfall totals in various Bay State municipalities.

“In Princeton, we picked up 9 inches of snow, Billerica had 7,” he began.

“The biggest amount that I could find … almost as big as me,” Bouchard said as he stepped closer to the camera, shifting his eyes sideways, “About nine inches.”

Uhhhh ...

9 Inches of Weather ... man

Chris Wayland, his employer and Channel 7 General Manager, chalked it up to a (huge!) misunderstanding and technical difficulty with the weatherman's monitor.

“When he was looking at his monitor, he was cut in half and he thought that’s what was happening over the air,” Wayland said. “To imply that’s what his comment was, what people are suggesting, is ridiculous. He would never do that."

Do you buy that explanation? Or was this guy pulling a Robin from How I Met Your Mother and saying ridiculous $h!t on the air just to see if people are watching?

Either way, it's pretty hilarious and we're kind of jealous.

Of the snow, that is. We enjoy skiing.

Sign of the Apocalypse: Kim Kardashian Featured on NASCAR Racing Car

While NASCAR is a popular sport, it's often ridiculed for a number of reasons:

All anyone actually does is turn left over and over; the cars do more work than the drivers; no one in the crowd is sober.

Understandably, fans of the sport take exception to these taunts, but they might have trouble defending NASCAR against the following piece of ridiculous news:

Kim Kardashian is now featured on a car.

Set to run during the Shelby American NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the vehicle is sponsored by Sephora. It's pink, it's number is 36 (not 69?!?) and it's more proof that Kim loves to ride on something hard that goes fast...

On her official blog, Kardashian wrote: I can't believe I actually have my own NASCAR racing car!

Neither can we, Kim. Neither can we.

PR Guy Takes Fall in Latest Mel Gibson Outburst

Mel Gibson is kind of a d!ck. You never know who he's going to offend next, which poses problems for his publicist, who's gotta be working OT these days.

The actor's longtime rep, Alan Nierob, came up with an explanation only slightly more believable than this weatherman's for Mel's recent interview gaffe.

At the end of a TV interview yesterday, Mel became annoyed over a Chicago reporter's questions and, as he signed off, blatantly called him an a$$hole.

Or so we think, says his rep. Nierob claims he was "pulling faces" during the interview and Gibson called him the asshole, not that bastard TV reporter.

Never mind that Mel was still looking at the camera and the interview ended just seconds earlier. Just your standard off-screen client-publicist banter!

Good job, publicist! Way to cover for me, a$$hole!

Not a bad job by Nierob. If only we all had a PR "cleaner" to come up with bogus explanations and fire them off to media outlets every time we screwed up.

Sometimes they even try to claim paternity of your illegitimate children while you're running for President of the United States, too. Right, Andrew Young?

Alex Meraz Calls Out Taylor Lautner, Valentine's Day: Movie is "Lame and Desperate"

Now we know why Alex Meraz is a member of the Wolfpack in New Moon: the guy isn't afraid to bare his fangs.

In August of 2009, the actor threw down the shirtless gauntlet to Taylor Lautner, challenging his status at the hottest hunk in the Twilight Saga.

Now, Meraz has stirred up controversy by playing the role of movie critic: last night, he Tweeted his disdain for the upcoming film Valentine's Day, which stars Lautner, Taylor Swfit, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Julia Roberts and other A-listers.

"Sorry Taylor but the movie 'valentines day" looks lame and desperate it cries out 'look we have all the biggest starz in 1movie pleez watch!'

Realizing that he may have jeopardized his future big screen career, and having not actually seen the movie, Meraz backtracked just an hour later. He wrote:

"P.S. it has nothing to do with the talented actors in the movie I just don't like the producer & Directors 'get rich quick skeem' nuff said."

Well, Alex, we don't like your kindergarten-level of spelling, but you don't see us publicly calling you out on that, do you?

Watch the Valentine's Day trailer now and let us know: Will you be seeing this romantic comedy?

Simon Monjack Questioned in Brittany Murphy Case

The L.A. County Coroner's Office is reportedly not satisfied that the toxicology report by itself will tell the whole story in the death of Brittany Murphy in December.

As a result, on Wednesday Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter paid a visit to Brittany's husband, Simon Monjack, and her mom, Sharon Murphy, to ask more questions.

Monjack is not a suspect, however he is a very shady character, and conflicting reports about the origins of medications in Murphy's house have raised eyebrows.

A man who worked at Murphy's house told the Coroner's Office that someone would deliver a sealed, manila envelope filled with meds to "Lola" every Friday.

Simon Monjack wed Brittany Murphy in 2007.

Sources say the drugs were mailed from Los Angeles to Louisiana, where Murphy was shooting a movie and Simon Monjack was tagging along, before she died.

A pathologist in the Coroner's Office who is working on the case had a variety of questions for both Simon and Sharon regarding Britt. Among the questions:

Why is there no record of Brittany seeing a doctor in the months before her death, since she experiencing severe abdominal pains days before her death?

Monjack, whose planned Brittany Murphy benefit was postponed at the last minute this week, is said to have been fully cooperative with the investigation.

The Situation Proclaims Self King of Reality TV

The Jersey Shore cast negotiated for Season 2 in all-for-one, one-for-all style, each asking for the same amount and selling themselves as a package deal.

Just the same, Mike Sorrentino is clearly one of the bigger stars. He made a name for himself, quite literally, as "The Situation" from the very first episode.

The Sitch recently sat down with TV Guide to discuss his all-natural physique, clubbin', creepin', future plans and so much more. Some excerpts below:

On Jersey Shore being real: Nothing was planned. Everybody's friends on the show and that's why it's real. We're actually very close in real life.

On staying in sometimes: You can't go out every night because every night you're not really prepared to look that good — it takes a little toll on you.

On rumors that he's on steroids: No way. I'm 100 percent natural. I just have very good genetics. I've had a six-pack ever since I was little.

On tension with Ronnie and Sammi: Me and [Ronnie] are friends but Sam is his girl. There's always going to be tension. I mean, we are friends first, but that's my good friend and that's his girl, and I hooked up with his girl first.

On their status: I think they got back together but recently broke up again. Their relationship is really none of my business; my business is The Situation.

On the ladies: Right now I take life moment by moment. I'm not worried about girls. I'm focused on my career, but if I see something I like, I'll grab it up.

On being on top: Right now I'm just taking over the reality world on this first season so I guess you could say I'm like the reality king. After that, maybe one or two more seasons max - once you're on top, you graduate to the next level.

With The Situation quotes like that, how can you not be counting down the days until the show's wilder, crazier new season - wherever it may take place?

The gang taking Miami is the current, and most logical rumor.

Jim Toth: Dating Reese Witherspoon?

Has Reese Witherspoon found a new man?

The Academy Award winner dined with agent Jim Toth at a Santa Monica restaurant last week, multiple sources confirm. Toth works at Hollywood's Creative Artists Agency.

The pair reportedly settled into a corner table at the establishment and "were very flirtatious throughout dinner," said a witness. "They were having a lot of fun, totally getting along and laughing and talking the whole dinner. Reese seemed very happy. She was smiling all dinner. The mood was upbeat and really good."

Witherspoon is the mother of two. She broke up with Jake Gyllenhaal in December.

After long meal, this burgeoning couple walked outside and said goodbye around 11 p.m.

"Reese reached around his neck and pulled him close for a hug," said an onlooker. "They kissed bye on the cheek – but it was a very friendly goodbye."

If we know what he means!

Bachelor Producer Speaks on Spoiler Leaks, Mole

The wedding of last season's Bachelor stars, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, will be a joyous occasion. But for one person, it will also open up old wounds.

No, not Melissa Rycroft. She's moved on and gotten married herself (we kind of hate you, Tye Strickland). We're talking about Bachelor honcho Mike Fleiss.

The show's executive producer remains confounded by Steve Carbone, a.k.a. Reality Steve, a blogger who knew and spoiled the shocking finale last season.

This season, Steve is at it again, somehow publishing The Bachelor spoilers detailing how Jake Pavelka's entire saga would play out, and accurately so far.

Some of the details - especially as they pertain to Rozlyn Papa and Vienna Girardi, among others - have been remarkably specific, too. So who's his mole?

Could it be Mike Fleiss himself?

Mike Fleiss: Jake Pavelka's Bachelor puppet master.

Fleiss maintains he's not in on it, and that the spoilers getting out "kind of bugs us." However, on the flip side, “In some ways, it’s just more promotion."

"We would like to find out [who his source is],” he adds.

While Fleiss says the show has taken extreme measures in the past to track down moles, he has not gone to great lengths to expose Reality Steve's ... yet.

He may have no real incentive, as the spoilers don't keep fans away. The Jason-Melissa bombshell "After the Final Rose" dumping drew 17.5 million viewers.

This season's are on pace to equal or top that. Steve says he and Fleiss are not in cahoots, and he'll "one up" The Bachelor simply because ... well, he can.

“I don’t go looking for this stuff, it comes to me because I’m willing to throw the show under the bus,” he explains of his sources, which "fell in my lap."

“I don’t think ratings have suffered. People are still watching because they want to see it play out," he adds. Indeed. Spoilers or not, we all want to know ...

Official Report: Casey Johnson Died of Natural Causes

As shocking as it may seem, Casey Johnson did not kill herself in order to get away from Tila Tequila.

Instead, the Los Angeles coroner has confirmed that the heiress died of natural causes. He specifically cited "diabetic ketoacidosis" (a condition caused by a shortage of insulin) as the cause of death.

The daughter of the Johnson & Johnson founder, who suffered from severe diabetes since her youth, was found dead on January 4.

Police reportedly discovered hypodermic needles in her home and suspect Casey partied the night before she died, neglecting to take her insulin.

Since then, Tequila and Courtenay Semel have given numerous interviews, clearly exploiting Johnson's death and even publicizing a sex tape she made years ago. It's been utterly shamless on their part.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi: Nude Pics Not Real

Nicole Polizzi, a.k.a. Snooki, says the supposed nude pictures of her are as fake as J-Woww's chest ... well, she didn't use those words, but you get the idea.

Snickers may spread her legs on the dance floor at Karma and make MTV's editors earn their paychecks, but you won't see Snooki nude pictures anytime soon.

The Jersey Shore star denies that she appears in nude photos or videos being hawked to celebrity gossip magazines, which was rumored earlier this week.

Radar Online said the Nicole Polizzi naked material left nothing to imagination, with her waring just a smile and posing in a manner "too graphic to describe."

But Snooki said earlier today that the story just ain't true. Thank goodness.

Snooki from Jersey Shore: Thankfully covered up ... relatively speaking.

“Like i said before about my supposed ’sex tape’…There are no nude pictures nor will there ever be,” she Twittered. “The tabloids just love Snook gossip.”

Side note: How is The Situation not on Twitter? Someone start a petition!

Brittany Murphy Cause of Death: Pneumonia, Anemia, Accidental Drug Intake

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office said today that actress Brittany Murphy's cause of death was pneumonia "exacerbated" by multiple drug intoxication.

Chief Investigator Craig Harvey ruled it an accident.

Murphy also suffered from iron deficiency and anemia, Harvey said, adding that the star, who died December 20, "wasn’t the healthiest person in the world."

Though a number of prescription drugs were found in her bedroom, her husband Simon Monjack claimed that she was only taking Vicoprofen and Fluoxetine.

The latter is an antidepressant to treat menstrual cramps. Harvey said the drugs in her system "will be in the toxicology report" to be released in a few weeks.

R.I.P. Brittany Murphy (1977-2009).

He said that all drugs were "oral medications." Meanwhile, other sources close to Brittany Murphy's autopsy have said the star's death was "preventable."

By that, they mean Brittany's condition was "treatable" but no one took Murphy to the hospital in time. Too much self-medicating with various drugs "pushed her over the line" but the underlying problems were the pneumonia and anemia.

Murphy weighed 115 pounds at the time of her death.

Monjack was questioned a second time this week about what meds Brittany was taking and where they came from. Also, officials want to know why she didn't see a doctor in the months leading up to her death if she was so noticeably ill.

Raging Grannies Call Out CBS on Corporate Bull$hit

The Women's Media Center is not the only organization angry at CBS for approving the controversial Tim Tebow Super Bowl commercial that espouses an anti-abortion viewpoint.

A singing group called the South Florida Raging Grannies has a message for the network, one we can't print on this family website. Check it out below:

Regardless of where you stand on abortion, let's give Tebow a break:

Based on his evaluation by pro scouts, this is likely the only chance he'll ever have to actually star on Super Bowl Sunday.

Drugs, Shmugs: Brooke Mueller Shoots Down "Lies" and Rumors

Following days of mixed reports - is she in rehab? is she back on drugs? is she just recovering from an illness? - Brooke Mueller has decided to set the record straight.

In the latest issue of In Touch Weekly, Charlie Sheen's troubled wife simply says: “There are so many lies out there."

Here's the truth, according to Brooke's mom, Moira Fiore: On January 20, her daughter was taken to the hospital due to a fever/infection caused by the removal of her wisdom teeth. Speculation that Mueller had been drinking too much are nonsense.

“The infections and pneumonia are what caused the shutting down of her organs,” Fiore said. “Brooke was very sick.”

On January 26, Brooke checked herself into Two Dreams in North Carolina, a facility that helps people recover from grave illnesses. Sources clamed she had relapsed with cocaine, as some even alleged she had drugs delivered to her in the ICU.

Total BS, Fiore says.

“This is ridiculous! There were tubes down her throat — how in the world would anyone in this position do drugs?”

We're not sure if pointing to Brooke's mere physical incapacity is the best defense, but point taken. In conclusion, Mueller's mom has her grandchildren in mind.

"She would never put her boys at risk," Fiore said.

Kate Gosselin Returning to The View

Kate Gosselin is headed back to television. Just not on her own talk show, as has been rumored. She'll be returning to a familiar gabfest as a guest host.

The former reality mom will once again be on The View March 11.

She last sat around the table of the talk show in September when she replaced Elisabeth Hasselbeck for three days while she was on maternity leave.

This time, Hasselbeck will be present along with Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and a lot of yelling and screaming.

Jon Gosselin, meanwhile, will be present in every tabloid who will take his picture along with new piece Morgan Christie, surely drawing Kate's ire.

Ugh. Enough, Kate. We get the point.

Charlie Sheen to Face a Felony Charge

One.

That's no longer just the number of unfunny Two and a Half Men quotes uttered on that terrible sitcom every five minutes.

It's also the number of felony charges Charlie Sheen now faces.

The actor will be charged with a count of felony menacing in association with his alleged Christmas Day assault against Brooke Mueller, according to Colorado police

For reportedly holding a knife against Mueller's knife neck and threatening to kill her, Sheen will also face a charge of misdemeanor assault.

Look for the actor to be arrainged on Monday. He's not expected to enter a plea, but Brooke and Charlie will ask the judge to relax the protective order against him.

Anne Hathaway Wants to Kiss (Like) Angelina Jolie

Anne Hathaway would love to kiss Angelina Jolie ... or at least kiss like her. The Valentine's Day star says "full-on movie kissing" isn't one of her strong suits.

Angelina, thought? Well, we all know how she split up Brad and Jen and about her (supposed, fictitious) affair with Lady Gaga. No wonder Anne wants in!

"You have to be Angelina Jolie to pull that off and still look good," she says of the forceful movie kiss. "I don't know if you've noticed, but I ain't no Angie."

No, but we've also noticed she's no slouch herself ...

Anne Hathaway heats up the pages of GQ UK.

She did offer tips on what she calls "pretty movie kissing," using the back of her hand as the lucky recipient. Guys everywhere are so turned on right now.

"You just have to relax, leave your mouth open a little bit," she tells the magazine's March issue. "Open up. More, more, ever so lightly." Easy there, fellas.

"Otherwise you're going to be getting smoothy. Now, slow it down ... just a little bit."

How jealous are you of Adam Shulman right now?

"If you're both unattached and you get along, of course kissing in a movie is fun," she says. "But you can never get truly deep down and into it. Well, I can't."

"Jennifer Garner - now that girl can movie kiss!"

We now return to your regularly scheduled gossip.

Lindsey Vonn Sports Illustrated Cover: Sexist or Sexy?

The latest issue of Sports Illustrated dubs Lindsey Vonn as "America's Best Woman Skier Ever."

If any controversy were to arise over this issue, you'd think this statement would be the cause. But there's no room for debate, considering Vonn is the first U.S. woman to win back-to-back overall World Cup championships.

Instead, Vonn's pose is creating a stir. It's not difficult to see why:

The question at stake is a common refrain when female athletes are depicted in a sexual manner:

Is this objectifying them, or celebrating them? Is is sexist to highlight Vonn's beauty, or merely the job of any photographer to bring out what's most attractive about a subject?

An editorial on womantalksports.com reports that only 4% of Sports Illustrated covers feature women and these "are more likely than not to be in sexualized poses and not in action - and the most recent Vonn cover is no exception."

Then again, Danica Patrick has never been shy about playing up her sexuality - and it's led to a surge in popularity for her sport and for herself.

Celebrity Hair Affair: Britney Spears

Britney Spears' outfit at the Grammys was universally lampooned by TV critics and THG readers alike (she got whomped by Katy Perry in our fashion face-off).

Almost overlooked, given that hideous lace bodysuit / corset debacle, was Spears' return to her natural brown hair. What do you think? Is it a positive change?

The girlfriend of Jason Trawick has once again taken a walk on the dark side (only in the literal sense, natch), trading her Barbie-blonde locks for raven waves.

Which look do you prefer? Vote below!
