Ex-Husband of Vienna Girardi to Jake Pavelka: Run!

Sgt. Josh Riley, former husband of The Bachelor hopeful Vienna Girardi, says Jake Pavelka shouldn't make the same mistake he did and trust that vixen.

Riley, who was married to the abrasive, annoying 23-year-old blonde for 10 months, is now revealing what he calls her lying, cheating and stealing ways.

Not only is Vienna Girardi a pathological liar - “It was hard to know what was true and what wasn’t,” - the Marine says she cheated while he was in Iraq.

It gets worse. Josh says Vienna’s most shocking move came during their separation, when she slept with his friend and drained their joint bank account.

If Bachelor spoilers are to be believed, Jake Pavelka is f*%ked!

“He lived in a trailer next to mine. One of his housemates told me, ‘Hey, man, I don’t know if you know, but the ol’ boy had sex with your wife!’” Riley said.

“A month later, my friend admitted to me that it was true.”

Josh also said that, while in Kuwait, Vienna secretly removed $5,000 from their joint checking account that she later used to fund breast enhancement surgery. "I can't believe I actually paid for her boob job!" a shocked Sgt. Riley said.

Now remarried with a 15-month-old son, Riley has a warning for Jake Pavelka, who has made Vienna one of the final three girls standing this season.

"I would advise him to run as fast as he can, but it might be too late," he says.

"If he has any plans of marrying her, he should know she cheated on me, stole my money and even got me in trouble with the military with her big mouth."

Tila Tequila Tweets About (Non) Near-Death Experience

The fake pregnancy chatter is dying down.

The abortion threats didn't net that many headlines.

That stalker story only lasted for a day.

So, what is an attention-starved, talentless celebrity such as Tila Tequila to do next? Pretend like she's on the verge of death, of course.

The former Penthouse pin-up bumped her head yesterday. It was so serious that she had time to Tweet non-stop about what it could actually result in. To wit:

Tila was released from the hospital and returned home last night. She hasn't posted a Twitter message in hours.

Maybe this really is serious! (Editor's note: it's not.)

Chris Brown & Naomi Campbell: Together For Haiti

Haiti relief efforts will not cease ... nor should they.

Naomi Campbell was the latest to pitch in, throwing a Fashion for Relief runway show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Among the attendees? Chris Brown.

So many violent thoughts together in one place. At least it was for a good cause this time. Earthquake relief tops thrown phones and pummeled ex-girlfriends.

Helena Christensen, Selita Ebanks, Agyness Deyn, Kelly Osbourne, Malin Ackerman and others did their thing on the catwalk, sure. But Chris Brown in a tux?

That really got the audience going.

Chris Brown, Naomi Campbell and others united for Haiti.

"[Events like this] are definitely important, not necessarily for me," Brown told E! News. "It's important for Haiti because you get a chance to see artists and entertainers and fashion icons come together to do something nice for a good cause."

"It's very humbling being able to come and help, it's nice to see."

Nothing you can say negatively about that classy attitude, or the collaborations by so many celebrities to help this case, such as the We Are the World remake.

Rachel Zoe pulled together the 92 looks for the fashion show, including the moving finale tribute to Alexander McQueen that had the models holding back tears.

Andrew Young Threatened By Elizabeth Edwards

Andrew Young, the country's most famous campaign aide turned fall guy turned whistle blower turned absurd sex tape owner, is feeling the heat these days.

Young turned over the John Edwards sex tape to a judge, as ordered, but still faces questions about where the tapes were kept and what he did with them.

The former Edwards confidant struggled to answer why he said last week that the only copies of the sex tape he had access to were in an Atlanta lockbox.

He testified earlier this week that he also had a copy of the tape elsewhere and he recently showed the video to ABC News in preparation for an interview.

On top of potential legal action from Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter, whose affair with the presidential candidate Young helped hide, Edwards is pissed too.

So is his wife. Elizabeth Edwards has threatened to sue him for contributing to the downfall of their marriage, according to a report in the Washington Post.

John Edwards whistle-blower Andrew Young with wife Cheri.

Young's attorneys turned over several items, including a tape marked "special" that purportedly shows John Edwards in a sexual encounter with Rielle Hunter.

Young personally turned over a copy of the sex tape as well. But questions over whether there are more copies - and whether he tried to sell them - linger.

"This is all disturbing to me, and it's not a comfort to our client," said Alan Duncan, an attorney for Rielle Hunter, who has said Young invaded her privacy.

Conceding he had made some errors in previous sworn statements, Young maintains he has tried his best to detail the location of items Hunter is seeking.

"I answered as honestly as I could," he testified.

He said Elizabeth Edwards threatened a lawsuit against him under the North Carolina statute that allows one to sue a third party for contributing to a marriage ending. A jilted spouse typically uses this to seek money from their partner's lover.

"We have powerful people coming at us," said Young, who vowed to fight to prove he is not a liar (even if he is a proven liar). "Are we scared? Absolutely."

A spokeswoman for Elizabeth Edwards declined to comment.

Robert Pattinson Hates On Vaginas

We wrote too soon.

Upon reading the initially-released excerpts of Robert Pattinson's new interview with Details, we remarked that he sounded like an intelligent version of John Mayer: not racist, just clearly a deep thinker about seemingly mundane life issues.

But it sounds like Pattinson actually has a slight case of Mayer-itis, as more quotes from his magazine article have been leaked.

In the feature, the man adored by millions of women makes a startling admission: he hates vaginas! Is he joking around? For Kristen Stewart's sake, we hope so.

When asked about his shoot with numerous nude women (as pictured below,) here's what Rob has to say...

I really hate vaginas. I'm allergic to vagina. But I can't say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours. But I wasn't exactly prepared. I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hungover."

WTF?!? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Or in this case, the... nevermind.

A couple more Robert Pattinson pictures, each of which depicts the actor and a naked woman, are below.

We really do hope Stewart doesn't see these photos. What about you? Do you wish Pattinson had considered his young fan base and avoided such racy poses?

Has your opinion of Rob changed?
