Kim Kardashian's Boyfriend Wins the Super Bowl

The New Orleans Saints defied oddsmakers and won Super Bowl XLIV last night, defeating the favored Indianapolis Colts 31-17.

While MVP Drew Brees and company dedicated the victory to their city and the fans that have stuck with them through the most difficult of times, Kim Kardashian was focused on her man.

"I am so proud of Reggie and the Saints!" she told People. "New Orleans deserves this – it's such a huge accomplishment!"

Bush finished the game with 63 combined rushing and receiving yards.

It wasn't an incredible performance, but it was better than that of Hank Baskett.

Kendra Wilkinson's husband dropped the New Orleans onside kick that started the second half and led to a Saints touchdown. The former Playmate had said she and Hank would have "a lot of sex" if the Colts won, but Hank may need it now more than ever.

But let's focus on the positive: Kim attended the game with her mom and brother. Afterwards, she said:

"Reggie has waited his whole life for this moment. It came and they conquered. It was a really good win!"

Congratulations to Bush, the Saints and the team's native city. Below, you can watch Kim and Reggie embrace on the field.

Miley Cyrus Plans Online Auction, Benefit

Based on her latest actions, we have nothing but positive things to say about Miley Cyrus.

The singer/actress has recruited famous friends for an online auction to benefit victims of last month's earthquake in Haiti.

"Ever since the earthquake, I've been trying to do my part to help the people of Haiti – and I wanted to do more," Cyrus told People. "I want to get people involved and show that even the little things you can do can make a difference."

Starting February 8, you can visit Ebay.com/Miley to bid on the Herve Leger dress the singer wore to the Grammy Awards, along with two tickets to the Hollywood premiere of The Last Song.

Meanwhile, Nicole Richie has donated jewelry, while Britney Spears has handed over the outfit she wore to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

"Everyone has been so generous," Miley said. "My mom and I started calling and texting all of our friends to see if they’d like to be a part of the auction. Demi [Lovato] was one of the first to respond. Hugh Jackman was also excited to donate something."

All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross.

Witness: Cameron Diaz was "Grinding On " Alex Rodriguez

The last time we wrote about Cameron Diaz, she was making like Madonna for a photo shoot with V magazine.

How ironic, considering we're now reporting on the actress because she was making like the Material Girl in a different way this weekend: by macking on Alex Rodriguez!

At a Super Bowl XLIV pre-party Saturday night, Diaz and Rodriguez were definitely hanging out with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at the W Hotel, as evidenced by the photo below.

Multiple reports, meanwhile, say “they were having a great time,” as witnesses told both OK! Weekly and E! News that Cameron was “grinding on A-Rod.”

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz

According to onlookers, Diaz was imbibing and acting “fun and flirty,” with the Yankees star, who sat on the couch alongside her when the pair wasn't burning up the dance floor.

Cameron's most famous relationship, of course, was with Justin Timberlake. A Rod, meanwhile, has been linked to Madonna, Kate Hudson and steroids.

Diaz and Cruise are starring in the upcoming film Knight and Day. This is apt because the real question on everyone's mind is: did Cameron and Alex have a drunken night and then wake up in bed together the next day?

Kyle Boller and Carrie Prejean: Engaged!

Kyle Boller has been an ineffective starting quarterback in the NFL, with a career passer rating of 70.6

Carrie Prejean, meanwhile, has been an ineffective Christian role model, with a history of nude photos, sex tapes and bold-faced lies that have exploited the popular religion for personal fame and fortune.

In other words: these two are perfect for each other!

Prejean and Boller, who started dating last year, got engaged over the weekend, as the back-up QB proposed to the dethroned beauty queen in her hometown of San Diego. This is great news for Carrie:

Once the wedding takes place, she can finally have sex.

Kyle BollerNewly Breasted

Kyle Boller failed as a quarterback due to poor on-field decision making. Looks like he has the same problem away from the gridiron.

Steve Phillips Accepts Responsibility for Brooke Hundley Affair, Cites Sex Addiction

Months after his affair with Brooke Hundley got him fired as a baseball analyst at ESPN, Steve Phillips has spoken out.

He sat down with Matt Lauer today and took full responsibility for his immoral actions, while also detailing his addiction to sex.

"What I want to do is take ownership," he said. "I made some mistakes ... I'm fully responsible for what I did."

Brooke Hundley and Steve Phillips

The former New York Mets General Manager was recently released from Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, the same clinic Tiger Woods reportedly attended for his issues.

Phillips referred to it as a place for people who are "broken" and "struggling to find answers."

To his credit, he didn't hide behind the addiction, saying:

"People look at sex addiction as an excuse; it's not an excuse. I'm fully responsible for everything that I did and accept responsibility for that. I've broken my wife's heart. I've damaged her and our relationship in a terrible way.

"I'm working my tail off to try to save my marriage ... [but] I don't know what the ultimate result will be."

Watch the interview below and sound off: Do you believe Phillips is sorry for his actions?

Emilio Antonio is Shagging Snooki

While the cast of Jersey Shore considers where it will end up for season two, Nicole Polizzi knows where she's headed tonight:

Into the arms of Emilio Antonio.

That's the name of the "guido juicehead" Snooki recently dished about to Radar Online. She described her new boy toy thusly:

"He is a body builder and works at the gym," she told RadarOnline.com. "He is freaking banging. We're the sexiest couple I have ever seen in my entire life, so I am excited for everybody to see that."

They now can. Antonio has posted a photo of the pair on Facebook:

Emilio Antonio

Seems like Snooki's type, doesn't he?

Snooki says she's "bringing my man" to Miami, or wherever the cast ends up next season. As long as they have a gym and a tanning both there, we're guessing Emilio will be happy to tag along.

Take This, Tabloids!

We hoping you're reading this, OK! Weekly.

Move a little closer to the screen, In Touch.

Feast your eyes on the photos below, Star.

Amidst utterly contrived rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are breaking up - with the former pursuing Jennifer Aniston, and the latter going after Johnny Depp - the couple brought son Maddox to Super Bowl XLIV. They don't exactly look like a family in trouble, do they?

Yay Saints!

Pitt and Jolie, who reside in New Orleans and have dedicated time/money to the rebuilding efforts there, joined friends in a VIP box to watch the game. They celebrated together as the Saints upset the Colts 31-17.

And while the classy couple would never say it, allow us to get inside Brangelina's head as the pair laid a Super Bowl smooch on one another: Eff you, tabloids!

Super Smooch

Should Howard Stern Replace Simon Cowell?

On tomorrow night's broadcast, Ellen DeGeneres officially joins the American Idol judging table.

While we're looking forward to this debut, many viewers are already contemplating next season. Still shocked by the news of Simon Cowell's exit, they're left to wonder: who will replace this British icon?

Howard Stern has an idea: himself!

"I can't imagine anyone else but me replacing [Cowell]," Stern said today. "How else are they going to make that show work? Who knows how to broadcast and who knows how to be interesting? And who's not afraid to speak their mind?"

All good questions, but surely there's someone out there that's outspoken and more knowledgeable about music than he is about lesbians or sex toys.

Pic of Howard Stern

Stern says quite clearly he'd do the show... if the money is right.

"It might be possible, we'll see," he said. "They'd have to pay me a ton of dough, because I already make a ton of dough."

Stern's five-year, $500 million contract with Sirius radio expires at the end of this year. Do you think he'd make a suitable replacement for Simon?

Conrad Murray: Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter, Pleads Not Guilty

In a follow-up to a story we posted earlier today, Conrad Murray has been officially charged with involuntary manslaughter and has entered a plea of not guilty.

The documents were filed in court today by the Los Angeles District Attorney, who alleges Murray “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson." Those are haunting words just to read, aren't they?

Meanwhile, the county coroner released his official findings at the hearing and there's no doubt about it: a lethal dosage of Propofol killed the singer. Eleven vials of the drug were found in Jackson's home, and none of had prescription directions, patient or doctor names.

Murray,  MJ

According to the coroner's report, obtained by TMZ, homicide is cited as the cause of death because...

  1. The setting of Jackson's bedroom (e.g. a chair alongside the bed) indicate the drugs were not self-administered.
  2. Propofol was injected in a non-hospital setting, without any appropriate medical indication.
  3. Suggested equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation were not present.

After the DA originally asked for bail to be set at $300,000, the judge set it at $75,000. He forced Murray to hand over his passport and decreed that the doctor cannot be in possession of, or prescribe, anesthetics.

If Murray is found guilty, he'll face a maximum of four years in prison.

Even if he's acquitted of these criminal charges, the family can sue Murray for millions, according to Bill Newkirk, a lawyer who specializes inmedical malpractice.

"This is absolutely a slam-dunk malpractice case simply because of the alleged use of propofol. If the drug was indeed in his system, no competent doctor could justify why it was used. You can bet the Jackson family will be filing a civil claim soon against any doctors implicated in Jackson's medical care."

Charlie Sheen Charged with Trio of Crimes

No one on the planet is thankful for the existence of Dr. Conrad Murray... but if anyone could find a silver lining in that physician's involvement in Michael Jackson's death, it's Charlie Sheen.

That's because Murray's arraignment today on charges of involuntary manslaughter overshadowed the fact that Sheen was also in court.

As a result of his Christmas Day confrontation with wife Brooke Mueller, the actor was charged with three crimes in an Aspen court: felony menacing, misdemeanor third degree assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief.

Sheen did not enter a plea.

Sheen

The judge did relax the protective order that has been in place against Charlie since December 25; he can now communicate and have contact with Mueller.

The couple embraced each other at the conclusion of the hearing and Sheen is due back in court in March.

Alex Reid: Reportedly Seeking an Annulment

This is hilarious:

Less than a week after Alex Reid tied the knot with Katie Price, the cage fighter reportedly wants out. The reason? He had no idea he was flying to Las Vegas to get married!

Sources claim Reid's advisors are searching for a legal loophole that will enable him to annul the marriage: "He feels he was pressured and hadn't had time to consider all the implications," an insider said.

Alex Reid Photo

Alex Reid has a good body. Good taste in women? Not so much.

The story gets even better:

A spokesperson for Price, whose marriage to Peter Andre fell apart amidst a series of tabloid accusations, said his client and Reid did plan on getting hitched... but Price organized the event while Reid was secluded in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

"Alex and Kate had always intended to get married, but the Vegas trip was spontaneous and Alex didn't know about it," the rep said.

A friend says Reid was drunk for the Vegas ceremony, "which could have clouded his thoughts." That still doesn't explain what he sees in Price to begin with, of course.

This is an attention-starved same woman, after all, that made up a story about a celebrity raping her. Seriously.

Siobhan Magnus: American Idol Contestant

She was one of thousands when she auditioned for American Idol in Boston, but Siobhan Magnus

is one of the few remaining.

The Massachusetts native is rumored to be one of this season's 24 semifinalists, as she'll be featured in Hollywood starting this week.

Not much is known about the 19-year old: she sings lead vocals for the band Lunar Valve; is actually a glass-blowing apprentice and loves horror movies.

Siobhan resides in in Cape Cod.

Katherine Jackson on Conrad Murray: He's a Monster

Not long after Dr. Conrady Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter today, those close to Michaej Jackson - whose death the physician is suspected to have been responsible for - reacted in outrage.

"He's a monster," said MJ's mother, Katherine (pictured), after the arraignment.

Katherine Jackson Picture

Brian Oxman, the family's veteran lawyer for Jackson's father Joseph, was equally disgusted with the judge's decision.

"This charge is a slap on the wrist," he said. "There's great disappointment here. [Conrad Murray] should've been charged with a higher degree of responsibility. What he did was reckless. It was a disregard for human life."

Michael's sister Latoya also chimed in, putting everything in a disturbing context:

“Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan. There are other individuals involved and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served."

Kate Gosselin to Release Third Self-Promoting Book

Kate Gosselin sure refuses to go away is keeping herself busy.

The mother of eight has several gigs coming up, including a return stint on The View, as well as working on a her new TV show for former employer TLC.

Now sources report Kate is also set to release a new book on April 13, titled I Just Want You To Know: Letters To My Kids On Love, Faith And Family.

What exactly Kate has to offer the average person after the past year is anyone's guess. But it can certainly offer her own bank account some comfort.

The book will feature "prayers, excerpts from her personal journal and eight individual letters to each one of her children." Wow, she left out Jon?

Kate Gosselin Book

Kate's next book will be titled Entomology of the Reverse Mullet.

"Each day the thought crosses my mind that when they get older, my kids are going to look back and think about how they were raised," Gosselin said in a statement.

"I know they will have questions about things that may not make sense because they were raised so unconventionally. I don’t want them to grow up and wonder."

Kate concluded: "I want them to know without a shadow of a doubt how much I love them and how much every sacrifice made was worth it for them."

Mmmyeah. Whatever helps you sleep better at night!

This will be the third book written by Kate. Her two previous works, Multiple Blessings and Eight Little Faces made it onto the New York Times bestseller list.

A new memoir by Jon Gosselin, Mediocre Girls: Memoirs of a Douchebag Bachelor's First Year of Freedom, is tentatively scheduled for a January 2011 release.

Lindsay Lohan Makes Like... Jesus Christ?

On one hand, Lindsay Lohan posing like Jesus Christ is sacrilegious and appalling.

On the other, it's understandable. After all, think of how many times this unemployed actress has heard her name associated with the son of God:

Jesus Christ, Lindsay Lohan is insane!

Jesus Christ, Lindsay Lohan is thin!

Jesus Christ, Lindsay Lohan is desperate for attention!

Can you really blame the train wreck, therefore, for making like this figure on the cover of French fashion magazine Purple? Check it out:

Lindsay Lohan as Jesus: Insulting or accurate?

This cover shot comes on the heels of Lindsay throwing a drink in ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson's face, but that incident makes more sense now.

She likely thought it was holy water.

Tony Romo and Candice Crawford: Dating, Possibly Getting Engaged Soon

He already took a big step in life by winning a playoff game (singular) this year. Could the Dallas Cowboys quarterback be stepping it up off the field too?

Rumors are swirling again that Tony Romo and Candice Crawford, who were linked last year, are not just dating again, but ready to walk down the aisle.

Back in December, Candice Crawford was spotted sporting something shiny and diamond-like on her finger, but colleagues shot down engagement rumors.

However, friends close to the Dallas power couple are now saying that Tony and Candice, sister of Gossip Girl star Chace, really are getting that serious.

Candice Crawford Bikini PictureTony Romo is Pumped

Tony Romo is pumped about Candice Crawford. Deservedly so!

"Tony's ready to make the next step," a friend of the hunky QB tells E! about the cute former Miss Missouri and current Dallas-area sports journalist.

"They'll move in together," adds the sports (and relationship) insider, "because he's telling friends he's most likely going to pop the question... soon."

Whoa.

Perhaps Tony has learned from past, public courtships with Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson that he should keep things a bit more under wraps.

We applaud that ... as well as his taste in women. Well, looks-wise. Jessica was kinda painful by the end, which was a big reason why he dumped her.

Chris Brown & Keri Hilson: Reportedly Hittin' It

A year to the day we reported on Chris Brown's arrest for beating up Rihanna before the Grammy Awards, could the singer be romancing a new R&B diva?

He's already collaborated with Keri Hilson musically, and last night, Chris "was all over" Keri at the Axe Lounge at Liv, where Diddy was hosting a big bash.

While Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush celebrated the Saints' big Super Bowl win, Chris was apparently looking to score a touchdown himself. Eh, eh?

He and Keri were "grinding each other" on the dance floor, reports say, and Chris even made a request: "He insisted on her being in a photo with him."

Now that's a big deal!

Keri Hilson PictureThugz Gotta Move On

Run for it, Keri Hilson! Chris Brown's creepin'!

The two left together, along with a group of friends. No word from either of their reps as of right now, but Keri posted the following on her Twitter page:

"LMAO paps think they slick!! Gone ask CB & I to tk a pic on carpet then asked da crew if we datin!! LHLAB so, no! I'mma let yall know now :P"

Okay, then. We'll consider that a denial ... maybe.

As for Rihanna, she hosted a party at that same venue just two nights earlier. We have nothing funny or significant beyond that, just pointing it out.

She's also dating Matt Kemp, most likely.

NOOOO! John Mayer Allegedly Brags About Taylor Swift Hook-Up

We pray this isn't so...

According to In Touch Weekly, John Mayer and Taylor Swift - it pains us to even write these words - hooked up in late January. At least that's what the douchebag of male singer told a friend.

It's already been confirmed that the pair met for dinner in Nashville. But an insider tells the tabloid they got extra cozy in a recording studio there.

“She was sitting on John’s lap, her arms were around him, and she was talking in his ear,” said the source. “They were acting like teenagers.”

Well, Taylor is only 20 years old. Yet another reason (aside from how much cooler she is) for Mayer to keeps his hands off her.

A Douchebag PictureEveryone

Mayer and Swift dined that evening at the restaurant Cabana and were joined by pals afterward. From there, the magazine alleges, they went back The Hermitage Hotel alone, where they were privately escorted to John’s suite.

“Taylor spent the night and enjoyed mid-morning room service before leaving his suite the next day," said the insider, defying the denial from both singers' reps that anything romantic has gone on between the two.

When asked by a friend how his night with award-winning star went, John supposedly laughed and said: “How do you think it went?”

Oh man. Maybe this really did happen. That does sound exactly like something Mayer would say.

Tamra Barney Confirms Relationship with Husband's BFF, Eddie Judge

The Real Housewives of Orange County writers have come up with an exciting twist for Tamra Barney this season.

Just weeks after she was served divorce papers by her husband of 11 years, Simon, Barney has confirmed that she's moved one... to Simon's best friend Eddie Judge!

Moreover, the scorned, soon-to-be ex learned of his wife's dalliance by witnessing it himself in a scene likely caught by Bravo cameras. Simon says he was at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas this weekend, walked into a club around midnight and:

"I saw Tamra with a friend of mine, Eddie Judge,” he told RadarOnline.com. "I saw them holding hands and acting like a couple. As soon as Tamra saw me she let go of his hand and walked away. I went up to Eddie and asked him if he's (bleeping) my wife. He didn't say a word.

"I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed - the ultimate betrayal by a pal and my estranged wife."

Nice soundbite! Kudos to whichever writer fed Simon that line.

Eddie Judge and Tamra Barney

Simon adds that he fell to his knees at the time and was helped out of the hotel by a series producer doorman.

Barney, pictured above with Judge, admits to the relationship with her ex-husband's close friend. She said:

""I started dating Eddie Judge last week... We are romantically involved, he is a great guy. It was bound to happen that we both we would dating again after [Simon] filed for divorce.

"I don't know what the future holds with Eddie and only time will tell."

Time, and script writers, that is. We're guessing they're hard at work on a suspense-filled conclusion to this storyline.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Suing Over Tabloid Gossip

Recent rumors of their demise have gotten so out of control that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are suing a London tabloid for claiming they are planning to split.

The couple's lawyer, Keith Schillings, tells BBC News that Pitt and Jolie have begun legal proceedings against the always-reputable News of The World tabloid.

On January 24, that publication said the two had agreed to divide their assets and made arrangements for the custody of their six kids. This is not the case.

Schillings tells the BBC that the report contained "false and intrusive allegations" and the paper failed to meet a demand for a retraction and apology for it.

Schillings says Sorrell Trope, an L.A. divorce lawyer identified by some publications as advising the two, denied that he had been in contact with the couple.

Brangelina and Brood

Brangelina is not dividing up assets or Maddox anytime soon.

"I have had no contact from... Angelina Jolie and/or Brad Pitt," Trope said in a statement. "I have never met... your clients or had any involvement with them. The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm."

Basically, for a lawsuit to have merit, the plaintiff must prove it was deliberately defamed by false reporting, rather than the publication merely screwing up.

It certainly looks like that was the case here, as evidenced by Trope's denial. The News Of The World has yet to comment on the story or lawsuit.

Pitt and Jolie, who are not married, nonetheless appear wholly committed to their relationship and each other, as their Super Bowl PDA in Miami Sunday.

They took their eldest son, Maddox (pictured), to the big game. Surprisingly, there was no sign of Jennifer Aniston, who Brad is still in love with, according to OK!

Better have some good lawyers on retainer, OK!

Brooklyn Decker Removes Top, Covers 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition

Andy Roddick has been unlucky in his professional life. The tennis star would likely have many more major titles to his name if he played in an era that didn't include the greatest player of all-time, Roger Federer.

But any sympathy you might have for Roddick goes out the window as soon as you realize how fortunate he's been in love: the guy is married to Brooklyn Decker.

No longer a little-known model, Decker has reached the pinnacle of her business. She headlines the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. The cover was revealed on last night's The Late Show with David Letterman, as the host unveiled the photo below as a Times Square billboard.

In related news, THG may soon move its headquarters to midtown Manhattan...

Tweeted Decker last night: "The issue is amazing, glowing, fun, the girls are happy... it’s not over-the-top, the girls and editors should be so proud! THANK YOU ALL!!!”

No, Brooklyn, thank you.

Quick background on the model, who will be interviewed by Letterman tonight and all over the news this week: she hails frim Kettering, Ohio; was discovered in a North Carolina shopping mall; and moved to New York to model.

She's also guest-starred on Chuck, Royal Pains and Ugly Betty.

The Bachelor Recap: Ali Fedotowsky Drops a Bomb

Jake Pavelka toured the hometowns and met the families of his remaining four women on The Bachelor last night. From New York to Oregon, everything went well.

Until Ali Fedotowsky dropped the biggest bombshell in Bachelor history, that is. Well, except for last summer on The Bachelorette when the same thing happened.

The story editors really need to step it up. As always, THG endured Jake's trials and tribulations on The Bachelor to recap the action in our exclusive point system:

Gia Allemand says Jake's unlike anyone she's dated. Yup, he's that dull. Minus 3.

Erick, Gia's brother, is like a poor man's Pauly D from Jersey Shore. Plus 4.

Gia confesses was with a "bad guy" who cheated on her with all her friends. Wow, so Carl Pavano is not only wildly overpaid, he's a complete jackass. Minus 7.

Jake Contemplates

Jake pretends to deliberate while looking at pictures from ABC.com.

Visiting New England in the late fall, Jake tells Ali that it comes to cold, "I'm a big baby." Replace "cold" with just about anything and that would be true. Plus 5.

Ali drags poor Jake to ... her deceased grandmother's empty house. To borrow one of the simplest, but most profound Liz Lemon quotes: "Dealbreaker!" Minus 3.

Ali's mom says she Googled Jake. THG ranks #1 when one does this. Plus 30.

Jake to Tenley: "I run everything I do by my parents." Groan. Minus 8.

Jake to Tenley: "You have to be a we." Swoon. Plus 9.

Tenley choreographs a ballet dance for Jake set to a traditional wedding march. We can't decide if genuine cuteness trumps extreme awkwardness, so ... Even.

Jake asks Tenley's dad for his blessing - while dating three other girls - and gets it! Why? Because he's "a man of integrity." On The Bachelor. LOL. Minus 48.

Ali Fedotowsky Picture

Farewell, Ali Fedotowsky ... or will you return?

For once, Vienna Girardi was not the focal point of the entire episode. Plus 12 for that, but an obligatory Minus 7 because her dad has some major screws loose.

The "bombshell" is Ali Fedotowsky going all Ed Swiderski on Jake Pavelka's Jillian Harris. She's gotta go back to work! Minus 100 for the absurd hype this got.

But Plus 86 for Ali crying in the hallway; Jake leaning over the banister. Ali pulling out of the rose ceremony, and Jake's remark: "All I have right now is hope."

While it's rather lame of Ali to up and leave, she probably made the right choice. Jake is pretty lame, and it's hard to get a new job in this economy. Plus 24.

In the promo for next week, the phone rings and it's ... Ali! Who would have guessed? Oh wait, us. Since this already happened on The Bachelorette. Minus 8.

TOTAL: -12. SEASON: +1. Roses: Tenley, Gia, Vienna. Gone: Ali ... or is she?!

Dr. Conrad Murray Charges Not Enough, Joe and La Toya Jackson Incoherently Claim

The involuntary manslaughter charge filed against Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson wasn't nearly enough to satisfy the late icon's father, Joe.

Following Murray's arraignment on Monday, a disappointed Joe did what he does best - went on Larry King Live to ridiculously say that Michael was murdered.

Joe Jackson never met a microphone he didn't like to babble nonsensically into, and somehow managed once again to make Michael's sad death all about him.

The Jackson family patriarch said that Michael's death was part of a larger plot and Murray got off easy. Michael's sister La Toya issued a similar statement.

Here's Joe Jackson on Larry King Live last night ...


Joe Jackson on Larry King

Attorney Brian Oxman seconded that the reckless administration of Propofol by Murray would constitute second degree murder for any victim not named MJ.

Never mind that the charge came after a six-month investigation and that there was clearly no intent by Murray, however careless he was, for Michael to die.

Yesterday, Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, labeled Murray a monster. That he may be, but a murderer in the eyes of the law is quite another matter.

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller: Back Together

It's hard to tell if they were ever officially apart, but Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are moving back in together.

Yesterday, a judge charged the actor with three crimes - but also relaxed the order of protection against him. As a result, "Charlie and Brooke are on their way back to L.A. to continue their lives," said Brooke's lawyer, Yale Galanter.

The couple has not lived under the same roof since a temporary restraining order was issued following Sheen's arrest for allegedly, violently confronting his wife on Christmas Day. But Mueller has made little secret of her desire to reconcile with her husband.

"We need to give them a chance to be alone and catch up on everything that has happened over the last couple of months," Galanter told E! News. "We'll see what happens."

Still Committed

On the legal side, the Two and a Half Men star has been charged with third-degree assault and criminal mischief, along with one count of felony menacing.

He's due back in a Colorado court for arraignment on March 15, the day after he and Mueller's twin sons turn one-year old.

Galanter added that he doesn't know whether Mueller will accompany Sheen to Aspen, but said:

"I know based on the comments made in court, Mr. Sheen is committed to doing counseling and I know Brooke is doing everything she can to be the best mom she can be."

It's cheesy but true: that's the most important thing right now.

Jennifer Aniston Hearts Gerard Butler

Jennifer Aniston may be back with Brad Pitt according to tabloid reports that are hilariously manufactured, but she is still Gerard Butler’s biggest fan.

In fact, she's been praising her co-star in The Bounty Hunter so much, she's fueling long-standing rumors that the hotties are more than just friends.

“We just had so much fun together you know. He’s just fun. Gerry’s the most unpretentious guy,” Jennifer told Access Hollywood in a new interview.

“He’s definitely a guys guy, but he’s absolutely the most lovely, sort of self-deprecating and just what you see is what you get,” she says of Gerry.

“We look at work the same way. We always have each other’s back.”

Jen and Gerard

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler: More than chums?

As the mother of Ali Fedotowsky told Jake Pavelka last night on The Bachelor, that's the most important thing in a relationship! You better have her back, Gerard!

Jen is celebrating her 41st birthday at a resort in Cabo San Lucas. Friends on hand include Courteney Cox Arquette, Jason Bateman, Sheryl Crow, and Butler himself.

So, how does she feel about turning a staggering 41? “Thirty-one, pssh,” she jokes. “It’s quite lovely I have to say. 30 was a hump but you know 31 is fabulous."

This isn't the first time Jen has gotten flirty with the hunky Scotsman. What do you think? Would they make a cute couple? Or would they be better as friends?

Katie Price Plans Procreation with Alex Reid

Already the mother of three small children, Katie Price wants to procreate with new husband Alex Reid. No word on whether Alex Reid has been made aware of this.

After all, we reported yesterday that Reid may want an annulment after apparently being railroaded into their wedding Price planned while he was kept in the dark.

Alex was on Celebrity Big Brother, of course. Secluded and whatnot.

No matter the circumstances, Katie Price – aka Jordan – made quick work of tying the knot with the cage fighter. Now, she hopes a baby will follow in short order.

Better get those tubes tied quickly, Alex Reid, if you're reading this.

Miss JordanMr. Alex Reid

Jordan and Alex Reid wed last week ... possibly with his consent.

"Me and Alex so want kids – well, we are trying, so let's hope, let's hope," she said Tuesday, a week after marrying Alex Reid during a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas.

Let's hope he's aware that he wants kids, too.

The recently-divorced model is already dealing with speculation that their marriage is in trouble, and dismissed the notion that the wedding was all a media stunt.

"The only reason we got married in Las Vegas is because you can't get married anywhere else unless you've been divorced for a certain amount of days," she said.

"But there was no Elvis or – you know, it wasn't tacky at all."

Price split last year from her previous husband, singer Peter Andre. They have two children together. Price also has a third child with ex-boyfriend Dwight Yorke.

Miley Cyrus' Torn Jeans: Hot or WTF?!?

She's a global icon that has starred in a hit movie and TV show, while releasing platinum albums and posing for a number of magazine photo shoots.

In other words: Miley Cyrus is quite well-off. You'd think she'd be able to afford a pair of non-ripped jeans.

But for whatever reason, the singer strolled through Los Angeles over the weekend in an outfit that a homeless person might wear. A homeless person that had been on the street for a very long time, that is.

Seriously. These pants have been ripped more often than Miley on this website...

Torn Up

We guess this look is somehow "in" these days, as weird fashion is often interpreted as forward-thinking and creative. We say: it's just weird.

Angelina Jolie is Better Than Most Celebrities

You may dislike her because she stole Jennifer Aniston's man, but we have a message for all the haters:

Get over it! That was five years ago!

At this point, especially when compared to other stars in her industry, there should be nothing but positive things to say about Angelina Jolie. She donates millions to charity every year, she doesn't seek out the paparazzi and she actually gets involved in important causes.

The latest case in point: Jolie spent time in the Dominican Republic yesterday, visiting hospitalized survivors of the Haitian earthquake. She even met with Dominican President Leonel Fernandez.

Pretty Humanitarian

Today, meanwhile, the UN goodwill ambassador is off to Haiti, actually immersing herself in the destruction down there. How many celebrities can say that?

Jolie doesn't whine about the tabloid coverage of her relationship. She doesn't Tweet about mundane happenings in her life. She even bypassed the Hope for Haiti Now telethon because she wasn't interested in getting her face on TV.

She simply wants to help. Anyone that takes issue with this actress should look in the mirror to see where the real problem lies.

Pastor Predicts: Tiger and Elin Will Be Okay

Women might be calling for his head on a platter, and some golf fans may be warming up their pipes to taunt him from the stands, but at least one person is standing by Tiger Woods.

Sort of.

Reverend Ricky Kirton, the pastor who officiated the marriage between Woods and Elin Nordegren, has the following message for the couple:

"Forgive each other. Be there for each other, and it will work out."

Kirton told People he "started to pray" for the pair soon after Tiger's infiedlity leaked out. He then started to shake his head and laugh uncontrollably as the number of cheating stories piled up. Just kidding about the second part.

Tiger Woods: CheaterWill Elin Woods Stay?Elin Beats itWhat Elin KnewElinWhat They

Because Tiger Woods is out of rehab and still with his wife, we're sure the tabloid coverage will stop... not!

Of course, Kirton hasn't spoken to Tiger or Elin since their 2004 wedding. Nor has he ever been married. It's unclear what expertise he can possibly offer on this topic.

All the pastor has are the words of wisdom he offers all engaged couples.

"I tell them to remain true to their vows. I want them to know this is serious and they have to work hard," he said, relaying the advice he delivers: "Remember these four phrases. I was wrong. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you."

He also might wanna add: get a second cell phone for your mistresses.
