Samantha Ronson Denies Choking Lindsay Lohan

There's no denying during Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson's lesbian relationship which one acted as the "man." Not hating or criticizing, just saying.

That said, it comes as little surprise (to us at least) that Samantha is being accused of abusing the troubled Lohan during their volatile time as a couple.

Rumors are swirling on the Internets that Ronson beat and choked the alleged actress, but the former pair said it's not so, and presented a united front.

At least to dispel the myth ... and threaten lawsuits.

Sam and Linds

One of the two faux-lesbians actually looks hot here!

"This is become a bit much," Lindsey Tweeted. "Samantha R never raised a hand to me. I never said she did. Enough is Enough. Focus on important world issues."

That's right, because the Jesus Christ poser cares so much about world issues and not clubbing, partying and enjoying the perks of fame every night. Anyway.

Samantha retweeted that and sent her ex a nice response.

"Thank you for clearing that up. The high road was giving me a nose bleed!," Samantha wrote to her former b!tch ... as well as to the entire Twitter universe.

"To ANYONE who perpetuates this rumour accusing me of being violently abusive after both I and @lindsaylohan have denied it: I WILL take legal action."

Nice to see them fighting others, and not each other, for once.

Nancy Kerrigan Defends Brother in Father's Death

Former Olympian Nancy Kerrigan is speaking out for the first time since the death of her father Daniel. Her brother Mark is being charged, and she's not happy.

Kerrigan called her late father "her safety net'' and does not believe her brother should face criminal charges for his alleged role in 70-year-old Daniel's death.

"He was someone who took an interest in everyone that he came in contact with and, if he knew you much at all, had an endearing wisecrack that would be sure to make you laugh,'' she said of her father. "For me, he was my safety net."

In a letter, released by her spokeswoman, Kerrigan said her family supports her brother, Mark Kerrigan, whom authorities allege fought with their father inside their Stoneham, Mass., home last month, possibly contributing to his father's death.

On Tuesday, Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone Jr.'s office said the medical examiner's office had concluded Daniel Kerrigan's death was a homicide resulting directly from a fight with the son coupled with a pre-existing cardiac condition.

Leone has not decided whether to upgrade charges against the son, who has pleaded not guilty to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon charges.

But Nancy Kerrigan made her views clear.

"It has been a sad moment for us all,'' Kerrigan wrote. "And it isn't over yet, particularly with the ruling this week about the cause of my dad's death; a ruling by the way which we think was unjustified and which we plan to help my brother fight.''

Separately, Mark Kerrigan's defense attorney said that Daniel Kerrigan's death may turn out to be an accident that would not merit a criminal charge at all.

Mark Kerrigan, who has mental health issues, has also been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder due to Army service, his attorney said in court.

Octomom: Aspiring Game Show Host?

Octomom needs to get a freaking job.

That being said, her reportedly meeting with the Game Show Network and seeking employment, seems slightly less ridiculous than it would for most "stars."

With 14 mouths to feed, Nadya Suleman could use some cash money, especially now that her reality TV show appears to be a no-go as a continuing project.

Bad news for Octomom. Good for everyone else.

Nadya Suleman and Kid

Nadya Suleman and one of her six non-octuplets.

The Game Show Network features shows including High Stakes Poker, Catch 21 and The Newlywed Game, in addition to tons and tons of reruns 24/7/365.

Nadya’s reps won’t say if she’s meeting to be a guest star on a show or looking for a real job. But Radar Online has confirmed she is seeking employment.

She has been criticized for relying on taxpayer money to feed her children and said she would like to write a book and also eventually work as a counselor.

LOL. That's worse than Conrad Murray being a doctor! Oh, wait ...

Danielle Staub Would "Absolutely" Pose for Playboy

Please tell us this isn't the new fad for aging, talentless Real Housewives that are neither real nor housewives.

First, Bethenny Frankel posed naked for PETA.

Then, Kelly Bensimon took it all off for Playboy.

Now, Danielle Staub is threatening to expose the world to her birthday suit. She just needs the offer.

"If Playboy asked I’d say ABSOLUTELY. It’s something I’d really like to do, especially as a woman of 47," she told Hollywoodlife.com.

Sexy Staub?

The totally fake reality star is busy shilling for a new book that only truly insane people would purchase titled (aptly) The Naked Truth. It comes out in May and, naturally, Staub thinks a Playboy pictorial would be the idea way to promote it.

“I feel better than ever,” she said. “I really spent most of the past year and a half connecting with myself and my kids at different levels.”

And with reality TV producers, she forgot to add.

Tell us: Do you wanna see Danielle Staub nude?

Miranda Cosgrove: New Face of Neutrogena

She's not as famous as Miley Cyrus.

She doesn't have an adorable, popular boyfriend like Selena Gomez.

But Miranda Cosgrove is still a young singer/actress doing quite well for herself, thanks very much! She took a big step this week toward even more mainstream success, as well.

The 16-year-old iCarly star signed on as a Neutrogena spokeswoman, as she's latest young beauty to campaign for the company. Others include Emma Roberts and Vanessa Hudgens.

Miranda Cosgrove Picture

“My friends and I have always loved the Neutrogena brand and their ability to help inspire confidence," Cosgrove said. "So when I found out I was actually going to be part of the Neutrogena family I was really excited.

"I have always looked up to many of the actresses who are already Neutrogena Ambassadors, and others are my peers, so it is an amazing honor for me to be part of this incredible group.”

Added Neutrogena President Jim Colleran, regarding his decision to cast Congrove:

“Miranda embodies the youthful and vibrant spirit that has always been part of the Neutrogena brand. We are proud to have her as our newest ambassador.”

Congrats, MC. We can't wait to see your pretty face on our TV screens.

Jake Pavelka Chats, Dances with Rachel Uchitel

Rachel Uchitel. Jake Pavelka. People one rarely associates with the other.

Nevertheless, the former NYC club hostess and Tiger Woods mistress, who landed a paying gig as a correspondent on Extra, interviewed The Bachelor star last night.

Going off the cue cards for once, Jake Pavelka spoke wistfully of the departed Ali Fedotowsky, who left at the end of this week's episode to go back to work.

One of the hard-hitting questions posed by Rachel Uchitel for the man of the hour: "When Ali went home [Monday], was she going to be one of the girls you kept?"

"Yes," Jake replied. "Ali was going to get a rose that night."

Rachel Uchitel and Jake PavelkaPlotting His Return

Think Tiger is jealous of Jake moving in on his Ambien-driven sex partner?

Pavelka said he was "heartbroken" to see her leave, and he's not the only one. Many fans were devastated about Ali Fedotowsky fleeing ... but will she be back?

That we'll have to see next week.

After the interview, Jake and Rachel naturally decided to do a little salsa dancing ... and he was definitely thinking dirty thoughts. Or at least the Jake equivalent.

Meanwhile, Vienna Girardi is plotting Uchitel's slow, painful death. No word on which Tiger Woods mistresses will somehow land TV gigs and interview Jake next.

Commercial Appeal: Megan Fox in Underwear

Of all the Megan Fox pictures available online, it's difficult to choose the more attractive.

But if this beauty's pictorial for Armani underwear doesn't represent the best example of why many consider her to be the sexiest woman alive, it would at least get honorable mention. Very honorable mention.

Along those luscious lines, the following video is more of a must-see than the series finale of Lost.

It's simply a 30-second look at Fox in lingerie, as the camera pans all around the body of this gorgeous actress. But, really, what else do you need?

Bristol Palin to Levi Johnston: Get a Job!

Levi Johnston says he's like every other unwed, teenage baby daddy trying to cash in on his 15 accidental minutes of fame by starting an acting career:

Broke as a joke.

Yesterday, the Playgirl cover boy rejected assertions by baby mama Bristol Palin that he earned $105,000 in 2009 and should crank up the child support.

Bristol wants Levi to fork over $1,750 a month to care for their 1-year-old son, Tripp, but in a new court filing, Johnston says his income is too erratic.

Which is a nice way of saying negligible.

His only guaranteed income so far in '10, according to Team Levi, is $25,000 from "some contingencies based on my Playgirl shoot." Hot contingencies!

But Bristol Palin ain't buying it. Her attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said in a statement today: "Bristol is hopeful that Levi will obtain work in 2010." SNAP.

Palin AdversaryBristol Pic

Levi Johnston knocked up Bristol Palin in 2008. Both are now 19.

She is "encouraged that he acknowledged in court his obligation to pay child support and he acknowledged paying $4,400 in the last 14 months," the lawyer said.

THG NOTE: That's $314.28 a month. Our interns could afford that! Way to go, Levi. You want some more credit for doing a half-ass job at your legal obligation?

Levi's lawyer Rex Butler retorted and stated that "we're refuting the manner in which they want child support figured. But at the same time we're willing to pay."

"They said they got $4,400 from him over a 14-month period but it was in the last three months. He'd have more to send if she kept her appointments with him."

THG NOTE #2: We're not entirely surprised, it's a little perplexing that Levi is that broke. He didn't get paid for any of his 867 interviews about Sarah Palin?

At least their lawyers agree on one thing. According to her attorney:

"Bristol expects to mediate a new child visitation schedule with Levi that balances Tripp's need to be with his father with Levi's need to travel and seek work."

Get on it, Levi. Seek work. Write the tell-all Palin book already!

August Man (Oh Man!): Ryan Kwanten Poses for Magazine

We aren't exactly revealing any major True Blood spoilers by reporting the following:

Ryan Kwanten will take his shirt off a lot on season three of this HBO hit.

Unfortunately, the Australian actor does not do the same in any of the photos from the March issue of August Man - but he does come across as a grounded star, someone as humble as he is hot.

Take a look at what Kwanten said about developing interests outside of acting:

“I don’t mean to sound preachy, but I think it is a mistake that a lot of actors make. They just surround themselves with the world of acting and therefore that is all they know."

All many women know, meanwhile? This True Blood star is a hunk and a half. Compare his spread below to a previous one, featuring Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder, in the same magazine: Which of these actors would you rather... you know?

Brangelina Going Strong on Valentine's Day

Haters try to keep them down, but Brangelina keeps on shining.

Angelina Jolie has not only donated money and time to Haiti, she bought partner Brad Pitt an olive tree - a symbol for peace and longevity - to mark Valentine's Day.

The star - who raises six kids (possibly with baby #7 come in order to save their love) with Brad - will surprise him on the romantic day with the 200-year-old plant.

A source said: "Angelina bought it from a nursery called The English Garden Centre in Valbonne, near their house. It's a very special tree and cost her a fortune."

Olive trees symbolize peace, longevity and stability and it is believed Angelina has bought the plant for Brad to cement their love and quash recent split rumors.

Brangelina Love

Brangelina haters, step off. Don't believe the hype. This love is the real deal.

The couple put on a solid show of unity at the Super Bowl in Florida on Sunday, taking their eight-year-old son Maddox to watch the annual NFL championship game.

They were also making out in public there - take that, tabloids!

The Valentine's Day gift may be an expensive purchase, but it's nothing new for pair - known for their lavish spending - who donated $1 million to Haiti relief efforts.

Who knows if the tree will set them free of speculation that a breakup is imminent, but it looks like these two may be happier and more normal than some think.

Who would have guessed?

Bill Clinton Released From Hospital After Surgery

Bill Clinton was released this morning from a New York hospital after having two stents into a clogged coronary artery Thursday after complaining of chest pains.

The one-hour procedure went smoothly, said to the former President's cardiologist, and the 63-year-old was discharged this morning "in excellent health."

Clinton will soon return to his work on Haiti's relief and long-term recovery, his office said, and will both recover fully and resume his "very active lifestyle."

Bill, who could have suffered a heart attack had this gone untreated, had the heart surgery at the same hospital where he had quadruple bypass surgery in 2004.

"This was not a result of either his lifestyle or his diet, which have been excellent," Clinton's cardiologist, Alan Schwartz, told reporters from the hospital steps.

Clinton in Action

A few stents won't slow a good former president down.

Schwartz said putting in stents were just another step in an ongoing process: "Just as illnesses have natural histories, treatments have natural histories."

Clinton has been working at a grueling pace since the January 12 earthquake in Haiti, but says his demanding schedule did not contribute to heart problems.

Clinton, the U.N. special envoy to Haiti, is overseeing the U.S. response with former president George W. Bush and has been there twice in recent weeks.

Clinton was working on issues related to Haiti when he felt chest pains. As he was being wheeled into the operating room, he was still on a conference call.

Pretty standard for this guy. Bill's daughter, Chelsea, joined him at the hospital, an aide said, as did wife and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

President Barack Obama called Clinton yesterday evening and wished him "a speedy recovery," a White House aide said. THG wishes Big Daddy the same.

Tiger Woods: Buying Elin a Huge Ass Boat

Hours after his epic fight with Elin Woods, Tiger Woods allegedly told a friend he had to pick up a "Kobe special." Looks like he may have done even more than that.

Rather than "a house on a finger," the world's #1 golfer is supposedly buying his estranged wife a custom-designed sporting boat christened Solitude, sources say.

Aptly named for the star, who hasn't been seen since Thanksgiving, and who was recently released from sex rehab, the 61-foot boat may serve as a peace offering.

"Solitude is a dive boat and was designed for Elin, who loves the sport," a source says. "They've talked about buying a boat that would be mainly for this purpose."

For diving, that is. Not saving their marriage. But hey, might as well knock off two birds with one stone. After you've slept with dozens of skanks, it can only help.

Woods Family

Tiger Woods makes wet dreams come true ... so to speak.

At a cost of $2-3 million, the big boat is much smaller than his 150-foot yacht, Privacy, and is docked 10 minutes from his new Jupiter Island estate-in-progress.

The builder would confirm that Solitude is intended for Woods. "We are making Solitude for a corporation, and we never know who the client is," a source said.

The dock where it is located gave a similar non-answer: "I am not aware if we have Tiger's boat here," a manager said. "They don't tell us who owns these."

Regardless, if numerous recent reports are to be believed, the spouses may actually ride out the salacious Tiger Woods scandal and move forward together.

Hopefully Elin invests in a good ankle monitor for him.

New Heidi Klum Photos: GULP!

DT is a Spanish magazine and we don't know what the name of it stands for. But we can hazard a few guesses:

Damn Tantalizing. Dreamy Tatas. Delectable Teases.

After all, this is the same publication that once published these photos of Megan Fox.

And this topless shot of Adriana Lima.

Now, in an attempt to shut down servers at all male-based companies, the magazine has run off a new set of Heidi Klum pictures that can only be described as positively, ridiculously, insanely, almost unlawfully hot. Check them out below and be warned:

Excessive popping of the eyes may cause retina damage.

Holy Hot Heidi

Hailey Glassman on Jon Gosselin's Penis: It's Tiny!

Considering the shady exploitation of his children, and the flaunting of relationships so soon after separating from his wife, this seems impossible to believe.

But Hailey Glassman swears it's true: Jon Gosselin's penis is even smaller than his capacity to care about anyone but himself.

In a revealing interview with Steppin Out, the 23-year old does not speak favorably about her ex-boyfriend's manhood. She says:

"He was so small I didn't think he would cheat on me... He's hung like a nine-year-old boy. I'm serious. This is true."

How tiny does Hailey claim Jon measures? "3 inches."

Depressed Hailey

The only thing funnier than Hailey Glassman's statement on Jon Gosselin's penis size? Her attempt to look sexy in this photo.

Glassman and Gosselin didn't exactly part ways in an amicable fashion, of course.

They broke up in December and Hailey has many reasons to lie about the reality show dad's minute girth, considering he's moved on to Morgan Christie.

Last month, Hailey warned Morgan to run far away from her new man, telling her replacement that Jon will likely screw her in the same way he screwed Glassman: with a tiny penis, and by taking her money.

A Moment in Literary History with Lauren Conrad

Last summer Lauren Conrad walked away from The Hills.

But the drama continues in Sweet Little Lies, the best-selling author's follow-up to the critically and commercially acclaimed (well, at least the latter) L.A. Candy.

While visiting The Tyra Show, the reality star opened a page in her second young-adult novel and began to read. It was a watershed moment in literary history.

"'Jessie, give me your keys. You can't drive right now. You're too drunk,' she said firmly," Lauren Conrad read. Banks then took a terrified turn at reading herself.

Sweet Little Lies

Lauren Conrad with the second novel in her series.

LC's book just reached the top of the New York Times Best-Seller List again in the Children's Chapter Books category after being on shelves less than a month.

Not a bad post-Hills career. As for her former reality rival, well, we've seen Heidi Montag nude in Playboy and getting plastic surgery a lot. To each her own.

To find out what Conrad has to say about her new book and to hear her read from it, follow the jump to hear the beautiful 24-year-old read an excerpt ...

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon: Looking to Start a Family?

They've defied the odds and have remained married for over a year. Up next for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon? Children.

"Mariah and Nick are thrilled at the prospect of finally starting a family together," a source told The National Enquirer. "Mariah feels incredibly blessed to have a solid marriage and a soaring career - but now her primary goal is motherhood."

And to show off her cleavage as much as humanly possible.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

These same insiders say both sides have made their New Year's resolution to have a baby in 2010... by any means possible.

"If they don't conceive naturally, then Mariah and Nick are ready to adopt," said a friend. "They have lined up several potential adoption agencies."

Rumors circulated in early 2009 that said the Grammy-winning artist suffered a miscarriage scare, but those weren't confirmed. When asked in October whether she was ready for kids, Mariah emphatically replied:

"We definitely want a family."

THG wishes her and her husband the very best of luck in accomplishing that goal. We can only imagine how much larger Mariah's breasts will get if she's knocked up.

Snooki Nude Picture: Real or Fake?

An alleged pic of Snooki nude circulating online is causing quite a stir. Who knows why, the girl isn't that attractive at all ... whoever she is. But no matter.

Supposedly, there are apparently more where this came from when it comes to the Jersey Shore star taking it all off, and the leaked pic looks sort of real.

Also, the bedroom in this photo does resemble the bedroom Snooki, a.k.a. Nicole Polizzi, has shown in pictures on her Twitter, so maybe it really is legit.

For her part, Snooki has denied the existence of any nude videos, which have also been rumored, and says the pics aren't real. But she could be lying.

Tell us what you think: Is this the guidette we know and love (who is currently dating Emilio Masella), or is it just a clever fake? And would you hit it?

Follow the jump and see a censored, possibly Snooki nude ...

Kim Kardashian Leads Star-Studded Opening of NYC Fashion Week

On opening night of New York Fashion Week, Kim Kardashian proved she can strike a pose that does not include bending over for Ray J on video.

The reality TV star strutted down the the runway at The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection Show yesterday. In one of the photos below, she blows a kiss to Reggie Bush, who was kind enough to sit in the front row on his girlfriend's big night:

Numerous other celebrities also attended the charity event. Among them?

An American Idol champion, a super model, a talk show host, someone with no pants on and a singer that stuck pearls to her face. You'll never guess to whom we're referring with that final description.

Twice the Breaking Dawn? Reports Confirm Fifth Twilight Saga Film

Summit Entertainment hasn't confirmed it, but the rumors are moving closer and closer to becoming an awesome reality:

Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's book series, will be made into TWO movies.

In December, we reported that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were both on board for a fifth film, one of the major hurdles that would have had to be cleared in order to extend the franchise.

Now, Nikki Finke of Deadline.com says there's no doubt that Breaking Dawn will be split into a pair of features, just like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg "is [close] to having both scripts done," another source adds, as the studio is "confident" this will be the end result.

As you ponder that exciting possibility, the great Twilight Saga news isn't over. Check out the recently-released photo from Eclipse below. Does it get any hotter than this?

Eclipse Scene

Can you ever have too much of Edward and Bella? Summit Entertainment is banking on the obvious answer: no.

** UPDATE: Insiders are indicate the studio might release Breaking Dawn in 3-D. What do you think of that?

John Mayer: Racist AND Homophobic

John Mayer is actually a pretty good guitar player. If only he would focus on that skill instead of opening his mouth in interviews (or at all), we'd be all set.

After apologizing for using the n-word and making racially charged statements in a Playboy article, the douchebag may need to say he's sorry yet again.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is upset, understandably, that the 32-year-old singer used a gay slur, "f*g," in his remarks.

THG NOTE: Whose vocabulary even includes the n-word and the f-word in this day and age - let alone when one is being interviewed by a magazine?!

John Mayer, apparently. And few people are GLAAD.

Douche Picture

John Mayer was always a douche. Now he's proving to be much worse.

"Just as he indicated in his apology that he meant no offense in his use of the racist slur, we hope his intent behind the F-word was not malicious," GLAAD wrote.

The group continued, "As a public figure with millions of fans, John Mayer should be more cognizant of the impact his casual use of both slurs can have."

Fittingly, Mayer used the slur talking about a kiss with Perez Hilton, who is gay, and who was in hot water last year for hurling that same slur at will.i.am.

"I can outgay this guy right now," Mayer said. "I grabbed him and gave him the dirtiest, tongue-iest kiss I ever put on anybody, almost as if I hated f*gs."

Uhh, whatever you say, John. Might want to keep your publicist on speed dial ... and/or go somewhere far, far away and never be heard from again.

We Are the World Remake: What Did You Think?

The 25-year anniversary remake of "We Are the World" debuted tonight during Winter Olympics coverage on NBC.

The production featured over 80 artists and celebrities, as the video below features the young (Justin Bieber), the high (Snoop Dogg) and the deceased (Michael Jackson sang a posthumous duet with sister Janet, using old footage).

Vince Vaughn even got a solo.

(We heard John Mayer was invited, but turned down the appearance because he heard black and gay people might be there.)

As Jamie Foxx says in the introduction, the purpose of the song is to unite people from across the globe and to encourage donations to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. It's a great cause and we applaud all those involved.


We Are the World Remake

Tiger Woods: Sex Rehab Cheater?

Stop the presses. The National Enquirer is alleging that Tiger Woods cheated ... while in sex addiction rehab. They may be stretching it a little bit here.

Sure, the entertainment news rag broke the scandal of Tiger's affair with Rachel Uchitel, which in turn led to nearly a dozen other affairs unraveling.

And sure, they also broke the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter scandal, for which some people think they deserve a Pulitzer Prize (seriously, look that up).

But Tiger cheating on Elin Nordegren in sex rehab? Come on.

The only reason he's there is to salvage the marriage she's somehow still committed to. Such an affair would also be fairly hard to pull off logistically.

Nevertheless, a "hostile" Tiger Woods exploded with pent-up rage during sex addiction therapy and treated the program as a joke, The Enquirer says.

Sex Rehab Cheater

Maybe they mean "cheating" as in on an exam of some kind.

He denied he has a problem, says the tabloid's source, and worse yet, ridiculed fellow patients and refused to cooperate with his rehab therapists.

The disgraced golfer even "treated group therapy with such contempt that he caused one female patient to break down in tears," the source claims.

"What a cheat!" the source said. "Tiger's so-called sex rehabilitation is a joke. He went into rehab as a sex addict, and he's leaving rehab as one."

"He has been in complete denial the whole time."

"Tiger isn't about to change his stripes. As soon as Elin takes her eyes off him, he will be hopping into bed with the first bimbo that catches his eye."

As for the alleged cheating that took place there? They don't really elaborate on that, but hey. Details, right? Would we doubt it at this point? (Yes.)
