Does Vienna Girardi Have a Secret Boyfriend?

After an emotional episode of The Bachelor Monday, Jake Pavelka has narrowed his list of aspiring wives from 25 to two: Tenley Molzahn and Vienna Girardi.

But has he already made up his mind - and is it the wrong choice? According to reports, one of the final two has a second guy on her mind back home.

Guess what? It's not Tenley!

Lee Smith, the ex-boyfriend of Vienna Girardi back home in Florida, is very much still in the picture with ditzy one, the new issue of Us Weekly proclaims.

"She wants to get back together with him," a source says, noting that Vienna remains "head over heels" for Smith, to perhaps rather unhealthy extremes.

MISTAKE BY THE JAKE: Pavelka is asking for it by picking Vienna Girardi, which he reportedly does for reasons unknown. Lunacy, perhaps. Or her bubbly charm.

When The Bachelor wrapped production, Vienna rushed home to reunite with Smith, only to find he had taken up with local waitress Cassie Chamberlain.

"[Vienna] got so angry, she walked right into the house and to the bedroom," a source reveals, claiming Vienna "physically threatened" her and Smith.

The couple "woke up to see Vienna standing at the foot of the bed holding a wine bottle, like she was going to hit them with it." Better run for it, Jake!

THG NOTE: This is different than her ex-husband, who claims Vienna cheated on him while he was in Iraq and took all his money to pay for a boob job.

Okay, so if she was so in love, why would Girardi participate on The Bachelor? "To be famous," the source says. "She never thought she'd make it so far."

Tiger Woods: Spotted Running!

After nearly three months of rumors, speculation and salacious gossip, the first actual, visual Tiger Woods sighting since Thanksgiving night has been recorded.

Dude went jogging in Florida yesterday. Big news, we know!

Wearing a black cap, Nike shirt and gray shorts, the world's #1 golfer, who had not been seen since wrecking his car November 27, was running with his trainer.

A source says the photo of Woods was taken "with his consent."

The new image surfaced just hours after his agent announced Tiger Woods' press conference coming up Friday, in which he will finally break his silence.

First Tiger Woods Picture

Tiger Woods jogging. This is front-page news.

Having been outed as a sleaze with at least a dozen mistresses, Woods "will be speaking to a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates" tomorrow.

"While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between him and [Elin Woods], he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down many other people who were close to him," the statement says. "He also let down his fans."

"He wants to begin the process of making amends."

Although the press conference will not be an "open media event," arrangements are supposedly being made to "pool" the athlete's remarks to the wider media.

He will not answer questions tomorrow. No word if wife Elin will be on hand, or if Rachel Uchitel will be there covering the event as a correspondent for Extra.

Tim Urban Replaces Chris Golightly, American Idol Rounds Out Season Nine Semifinalists

American Idol rounded out its top 24 last night, which was great news for two dozen aspiring singers - but bad news for Chris Golightly.

One of the first names to get leaked as a season nine semifinalist, Golightly was disqualified at the last minute due to a contract he had signed with a boy band. There's controversy brewing over whether it's still valid, but Ryan Seacrest Tweeted last night:

“Been determined that Chris Golightly is ineligible to continue on IDOL, contestant Tim Urban has replaced Golightly as part of the Top 24″

Adnan Ghalib Resurfaces ... in Court

Remember Adnan?

While Tiger Woods resurfaced in public for the first time in nearly three months yesterday, Britney Spears' ex-beau did the same, albeit with less fanfare.

In court.

No, not for the hit-and-run either. For something a little bit more vanilla ... if anything about Adnan Ghalib could be considered vanilla. He is a shady individual.

Adnan Ghalib Mug Shot

Nice landing strip, Adnan.

It appears Britney Spears isn't the only California resident that the photographer has stiffed ... if you know what we mean! Dude owes thousands in back taxes!

In the last few years, Adnan Ghalib apparently d!cked over the entire population by not paying on time. Basically, he's like Octomom. Eh, no, not that bad.

Still, Adnan Ghalib didn't pay $7,565.97, more than $3,000 of which is late fees.

The moral of the story? Pay up. And don't date shady celebrity gossip photogs.

Kellan Lutz on Underwear Ads: What Will My Mom Think?

Kellan Lutz has every reason to be proud of his body. Seriously, look at that thing.

But the actor admits he was a bit hesitant to bare almost everything for a recent Calvin Klein underwear campaign. The reason?

"Now my nude ass is going to be all over billboards, we'll see what my mother thinks," he joked to Us Weekly about the shoot.

Not only is it true that the Twilight Saga star appears nearly naked (alongside True Blood star Mehcad Brooks, Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco and Japanese athlete Hidetoshi Nakata) in the ads... but they'll be officially released in 3D on March 1.

KL for CK

While he might be a bit embarrassed at the next family function, Lutz is the perfect shill for Calvin Klein. Again, just look at the guy's body. And now listen to him talk about the garments.

"You know I've done other fittings where you have to wear underwear and you're kind of uncomfortable because they look funny or it doesn't fit well. That's the difference with Calvin Klein. They fit great, they're snug and they hold everything in and you look good," he said.

Point taken, but let's be real: Kellan would look good in a Snuggie.

Lisa Rinna Bashes Heidi Montag Plastic Surgery

When Lisa Rinna is calling you out on plastic surgery, that's like ... we don't even know what. But it says a lot about the new, "improved" Heidi Montag.

Rather than being able to relate, the actress, who has had Juvederm fillers, Botox, lip-plumping, breast implants and more, thinks Heidi went too far.

In fact, she refuses to allow Heidi Montag plastic surgery photos inside her home, where her daughters, Delilah, 11, and Amelia, 8, could see them.

"I will tell you, I had to take that cover off the magazine before it came in the house," she says of People magazine, which touted Montag's surgery.

"We have two girls. I don’t think it is something you want to bring in and say, 'Oh, look.'" What they say when they see their mom is another story.

Revolting Heidi MontagPlastic Actress

A couple of natural beauties right here.

Continues Lisa Rinna, "I take a lot of the covers off of magazines if they are just not appropriate. Obviously, we are raising two young girls. Anything that has to do with body or weight issues, I think you just have to be really careful.”

Yes you do. Such good parenting.

"That magazine has changed so much. I was actually on the cover a few times [in the '80s]. In those days, they had stories about people who hadn't had their faces cut open. They had stories about things that were really going on."

"I don't know. I mean, plastic surgery?"

Next think you know, Rinna, who has taken it all off for Playboy in the recent past, will be bashing the magazine's Heidi Montag nude spread as a bad example too.

Bristol Palin to Levi Johnston: Cough it Up, Liar!

Levi Johnston recently offered a classic defense of his deadbeat dad status, essentially claiming he is a mere deadbeat - he's got no cash to pay child support.

You need to have money and be withholding it to be a deadbeat dad, after all, and he says that's not so. Baby mama Bristol Palin, however, is not buying it.

Taking time away from calling out Family Guy on Facebook, Bristol has subpoenaed CNN, Playgirl and others to prove Levi is a liar earning more than he says.

A lawyer for Sarah Palin's daughter is scoffing at legal documents filed by Team Levi, which claim the teen he earned a mere pittance over the last few years.

Thus, he cannot pay the $1,688.42 a month in child support Bristol Palin seeks. We doubt that, and so does Bristol, who's calling his bluff in a court of law.

Levi Johnston Nude Playgirl PictureSarah Palin and Bristol Palin

The gloves are coming off in this hilarious family feud.

Palin's lawyer issued subpoenas today to CNN, Playgirl, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, Star Magazine, and The National Enquirer to discern how much they paid.

What Team Bristol believes is a smoking gun is Johnston's dubious claim in a court declaration that he made no more than $10,000 a year prior to last year, 2009.

But in the new docs, Palin's lawyer attached Levi's pay stub from 2008, showing that he raked in $18,594.50 from one employer - a construction company in Alaska.

If he lied about that, imagine what he's lying about regarding the half-dozen celebrity gossip programs and publications listed above. Clearly they paid him a little.

Also, come on. Playgirl is no Playboy, but those Levi Johnston nude photo spreads were big sellers! Surely he got a big ass advance or some royalties, right?

Who Wants to Sleep with Robert Pattinson?

Why simply dream about Robert Pattinson when you could snuggle up to this hunk of an actor every night?

That's what etsy.com hopes Twilight Saga fans are asking themselves, as the website is offering insane dedicated followers a Robert Pattinson "Manllow" (half man, half pillow) for the reasonable price of $15.

It bills the product with the following description:

For all the twilight crazed lonely women in the world, Edward Cullen is finally here to be with you and only you. Sleep with him, cuddle with him, use him as a neck rest, the Edward Manllow is there to be your man and pillow all in one.

Unfortunately, the bedmate is currently sold out. But keeping checking etsy.com in the coming days to see when it restocks the item and gives fans a chance to make like Kristen Stewart...

Middle School Student Earns Detention For "That's What She Said" Comeback

Michael Scott would be proud of Dalton Duncan.

A photo of a detention notice issued to the latter, a middle school student, has been making the rounds online, and let's just say the kid knows The Office quotes.

According to the report, a student made the (innocent) comment "you need to push it in further." The offender's reply: "That's what she said!" Bam! Never gets old!

Well played, Dalton. Well. Played.

Best Joke Ever

Sure, it's rude, but you have to credit the kid's sense of humor. All we have to say to the reader that emailed us this story: Thanks for putting it in our box!

Someone? Anyone?

Andrew Garcia vs. Todrick Hall: Semifinalist Showdown!

Congratulations are in order for Andrew Garcia and Todrick Hall. They have each advanced to the semifinals on season nine of American Idol.

Along with 22 other aspiring stars, these crooners will compete for viewer votes next week on the show, as performances go live and phone lines open up for all contestants.

With such an intense competition set to begin, it's time to prepare Garcia and Hall by pitting them against one another in a showdown of hopeful semifinalists.

Andrew is considered the early favorite by many, following an incredible acoustic version of the Paula Abdul classic "Straight Up." But Todrick possesses an impressive resume for an amateur, having appeared in a Broadway production of The Color Purple.

Two men. One dream. Cast your vote below.

Kristin Cavallari: Coked Up, Gaunt, Not Showering

The Hills star Kristin Cavallari has bigger problems than terrible choices in men. She raised eyebrows for all the wrong reasons during Super Bowl weekend in Miami.

"She was wasted the entire time," a source says, and we're not talking about margaritas. "She was going around to everyone, asking them to score her some coke."

Cavallari's lawyer refutes these Us Weekly allegations, but those close to the party girl 23-year-old say those Super Bowl antics are not only true, but typical.

"Her issues are becoming apparent to everyone," an insider reveals. "She's doing coke, getting scary-thin and not showering regularly... She's clearly unhealthy."

Not showering regularly? Man, Justin-Bobby sure did a number on her.

Coked Up and Crazy

Friends and Hills co-stars Brody Jenner, Audrina Patridge, Lo Bosworth and Stephanie Pratt have all urged Kristin Cavallari to check into rehab, but to no avail.

"She doesn't think she has a problem," a source says. They never do.

It's also effecting her "work," if you can call it that. The erratic, gaunt actress reality star has become chronically tardy to Hills tapings, if she shows up at all.

The Hills broaching her drug use may be just a matter of time, too.

"Her drug problem finally became an unavoidable conversation topic on film," an insider says. "If MTV decides to use the footage, it will be clear to everyone."

Report: Ex-Boyfriend of Vienna Girardi Arrested For Stalking Her

Vienna Girardi is one of two women left on The Bachelor. As she battles with Tenley Molzahn for the final rose, America learns one shady thing about her after another.

Yesterday, we reported that The Bachelor bad girl was involved with a secret boyfriend before, during and since returning home from taping the ABC non-reality show.

While Vienna Girardi has been accused of stalking her ex, Brian Lee Smith, he personally was arrested in October of last year for trespassing at her parents' home.

Smith was arrested oshortly before Vienna left to film The Bachelor. A Girardi source says the two are over, and Smith was refusing to let go of their relationship.

Here's the mug shot of this classy fella ...

Brian Lee SmithVienna Pic

Vienna Girardi's ex: Even crazier than she is!

Vienna has been accused of not leaving Smith and his new girlfriend alone since she returned home from taping The Bachelor. But a source close to her says, on the contrary, that Vienna has not seen Brian since he was arrested in her yard.

The source claims that Smith simply could not accept they were over and was even banging on the front door at Vienna's parents house the night he was arrested.

As for Vienna's take on the drama? "She's pretty much over it,” the source said.

The friend claims that when Vienna found out in the summer of 2009 that she was going to be a contestant on The Bachelor, she decided to break up with Smith.

That's when she set her sights on Jake Pavelka. But does she deserve him?!

Justin Bieber on Miley Cyrus: Not My Type!

Their nickname would have just rolled off the tongue: Jiley.

They could have gone on tour together, trading off opening acts at each stop, joining each other on stage for duets that would have left the crowd in tears of joy.

Alas, there will be no coupling up between the two hottest singers under the age of 18 because Justin Bieber was asked by radio station Z100 about Miley Cyrus this week and responded:

"Nooooooo, not my type."

We always knew we liked this Bieber guy!

Justin Bieber PhotoMiley and Puppy

Justin didn't elaborate on why he would never date Miley, but we'd cite her horrible acting or atrocious wardrobe as the leading factors.

Fortunately, Cyrus doesn't need Bieber. She has Liam Hemsworth to pretend to date in order to publicize their upcoming movie together before going their separate ways go home to.

Lynn Timberlake: Jessica Biel is Part of the Family

It was a family affair at Justin Timberlake's William Rast fashion show as his parents, Lynn and Paul, sat in the front row next to his girlfriend Jessica Biel.

Biel, Lynn says, is "one of us." That should quiet any breakup rumors!

"She's amazing. She's so down-to-earth and her family is great," says Lynn, adding that Justin and Jess click. "They're both very funny and creative."

During the show, which was sponsored by Sony, Biel often leaned over to whisper to a friend in the seat next to her about the many different looks.

With her busy schedule, she was probably just happy to be there.

Biel and JT

She's been promoting her new film Valentine's Day and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro last month to raise awareness and funds for the global water crisis.

"She was at my house around Christmas and there was this crazy noise coming from my gym," says Lynn of her potential future daughter-in-law.

"To get ready for the climb, [Jessica Biel] had the treadmill to the highest level, running with a 40-lb. backpack. I want to be her when I grow up."

So, is Biel "The One" for her son?

"You should ask him. I've thought that before," Lynn says, cutely with her fingers crossed. "They're young, though. They have plenty of time."

Not too much time, though.

"I've had friends who have grandchildren and I've tried to express to him that I'm losing that race!" she jokes, dropping hints to her son.

Put It Away, Pamela!

Warning: the following photo montage is not safe for work.

Or home.

Or really any place without a trash receptacle nearby.

As the featured attraction at the Richie Rich fashion show in New York City yesterday, Pamela Anderson walked the runway and made those of us who ordered her Tommy Lee sex tape in high school feel downright silly.

We paid $10.99 back then to stare at this?!?

Catwalk Horror

Let's just hope - nay, pray! - that Pamela wears more layers on Dancing with the Stars this season. She's a rumored participant. Vegas has set the odds of Anderson's wardrobe malfunctioning on the air at 3:1. We wouln't wager against it.

To see how one is supposed to saunter down a catwalk, we direct your attention to Kim Kardashian.

Elin Woods' Painful Choice: Will She Leave Tiger?

She recently rejected his overture at moving back in after a tumultuous cheating scandal shattered their marriage, but Elin Woods hasn't changed the locks.

Tiger Woods may not be living in the Windermere, Fla., home he technically shares with her, but he has been visiting there. Is a full reconciliation to come?

No word on how long the open-door policy has been in place, but "as of this week," Woods has been coming and going regularly. Will she take him back?

In fact, the embattled golf star stopped by Wednesday, before he worked out with a trainer at a local country club and was spotted running in the area.

With his first public statement to come tomorrow, the masses are wondering when he'll be back on the course - and if he'll be married when he returns.

A Painful Choice

Will scorned wife Elin Nordegen Woods stay or go?

No matter what Elin does, she will be criticized and second guessed. How loyal can she be to a person who clearly didn't show her the same (or any) respect?

The ultimate question awaits her, and there is clearly no easy answer. If there was anyone who didn't deserve a second chance at marriage, it's Tiger Woods.

Look at the list of mistresses. It's not short.

On the flip side, if he has gone through sex addiction rehab, maybe he really is a changed man - and maybe it's worth sticking out for the good of the kids.

Bethenny Frankel vs. Jill Zarin: Coming to The Real Housewives of New York City

You won't believe this, but a lot of drama is coming to The Real Housewives of New York City.

When the third season of the Bravo hit premieres on March 4, it will center on a feud between Jill Zarin and Bethenny Frankel.

"This is the angriest season yet," Zarin shared with Life & Style. "There's a lot of hurt, a lot of pain."

Jill Zarin PhotoBethenny

What are those feelings based on? Sources say that Jill is pissed with Bethenny because the script calls for it she wasn't there for Jill when the latter's husband, Bobby, was diagnosed with cancer over the summer.

"It was a difficult time for me and my family, and the loss of Bethenny's friendship tore me apart," Jill confirmed.

Frankel agrees that the season ahead is "brutal," but "I don't have any hard feelings about anybody. She adds:

"I'm too happy. I have too much to be happy about to worry about what's going on with other people."

That's the selfless attitude we love! Good luck with it, Jason Hoppy.

Chris Brown: Ridin' Dirty ... Enough?

One year after beating the crap out of Rihanna, Chris Brown has been rebuilding his image and career, belting out hits on Graffiti, attending Fashion Week, etc.

But the Rihanna case lingers. Brown will face an L.A. judge today to determine if he is doing enough to satisfy his probation on his felony assault conviction.

Judge Patricia Schnegg has been skeptical about the type of community service Brown has been performing in Virginia - and whether it's been true hard labor.

Chris' sentence actually called for hundreds of hours of community labor, not just service - meaning he has to be poundin' the pavement (not just Keri Hilson).

Smilin

Will Chris Brown be all smiles in a couple of hours?

Brown and his lawyer, Mark Geragos, will go before Schnegg today with a list showing Chris got plenty dirty performing community service on Virginia roads.

Hopefully for his sake, Mark makes a compelling case. Otherwise his relatively light sentence for an assault case could become a whole lot heavier in a hurry.

Stay tuned ...

Tiger Woods Statement: Leaked, Likely Bogus

A copy of the alleged statement Tiger Woods will deliver Friday at his comeback news conference has been leaked, although its authenticity is highly questionable.

Among its claims? That "things have not worked out" between Woods and wife Elin Nordegren and that they will separate. Another part of Tiger's alleged statement:

"There is no one to blame but me for the mess I have put my wife and family through." After careful deliberation with his spouse, "we have decided to live apart."

Baloney, right? Tiger's reps reportedly say it's not legit, and we believe 'em. Many more things about the so-called Tiger Woods statement don't add up than do.

He of Many Transgressions

While Elin Woods' decision on whether to leave Tiger is still up in the air, and we would not be all that surprised if she did, why would Woods get into it here?

Moreover, Woods mentions his custody arrangement and barely talks at all about his return to golf (supposedly at the Masters) in these very brief remarks.

Fishy.

We'll know for sure soon enough at his Friday news conference, but follow the jump to read the full text of Tiger Woods' alleged statement and see if you buy it ...

"Directly to the point there is no one to blame but me for the mess I have put my wife and family through. I accept total and complete responsibility. My wife and I have been trying to work things out but sadly things have not worked out.

Again all the blame is upon me.

We have decided to live apart with me having mutually agreed upon times when I can be with our children. I know the world wants all the details of what transpired in our marriage but that is between my wife and I and will remain that way.

I have to get on my life and that means playing golf again. I have contacted The Masters and have informed them that my plan is to resume The Masters and they have said that they would welcome me with open arms.

For that I am most grateful for I deserve nothing. Finally I want to thank all my fans around the world for standing by me when I let you down horribly. I failed all of you about as badly as a person can. I apologize to everyone of you.

I promise all of you that you will see a new Tiger Woods, a better Tiger Woods and I will not let you down. Now I'd like, by the grace of God and with His help, to get back to what I do best and that is playing golf. See you all at The Masters.

God Bless you all.

Tiger Woods"

Lady Gaga Debuts Hair Phone

Already well known for outrageous hairstyles and fashion, Lady Gaga may have outdone even herself this time, debuting a hair phone in her "Telephone" music video.

By hair phone, we mean that literally!

In stills from her latest performance art piece, with which she collaborated with Beyonce, Gaga is seen with a phone stuck to the side of her head. Somehow it works.

She's really weird. She's also really talented. When you're a rumored hermaphrodite who dresses like Marie Antoinette on HGH, what's a little phone made of hair?

Lady Gaga Hair Phone

It's not the first time Gaga and Beyonce have combined their talents. The music superstars originally teamed up for a remix of Beyonce's hit "Video Phone."

Scott Disick Tries to Mend Relationship with Kris Jenner

Appearing today on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, Scott Disick aimed to clear up a few misconceptions about him. Namely, that he isn't the Boyfriend from Hell.

He wants Kris Jenner to know that because Kourtney Kardashian's mother is full of "anger at all times" when the pair talk, he told Ryan. But there's hope for the relationship!

"Honestly, deep down, I think we both love each other a little bit, and I think that will come to the surface in due time. We already are getting along better these days," Scott said.

Scott and Kourtney

Disick told the American Idol host that Jenner constantly compares him to Reggie Bush and Lamar Odom, the football and basketball stars that are doing Kim and Khloe Kardashian, respectively.

"Kris thinks that if you're an athlete you tend to be a better person, when that's not always the case," Disick said.

It's true. Sometimes unemployed deadbeats make the best son-in-laws. You just gotta give them a chance.

Jesus Was Gay, Elton John Claims

In a new interview with Parade magazine, Elton John says he doesn't wish to be famous. How come?

"Princess Diana, Gianni Versace, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, all dead. Two of them shot outside their houses. None of this would have happened if they hadn't been famous. Fame attracts lunatics. I never had a bodyguard until Gianni died. I don't like celebrity anymore."

That's all well and good, but it then makes the singer's subsequent comments about Jesus Christ - yes, that Jesus Christ - all the more unusual.

Elton John Picture

If you don't wish to be in the news, Elton, you probably shouldn't say that Jesus was a homosexual.

"I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems," John said. "On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel."

Come to think of it, Jesus was really into fashion. You could argue that he started the crucifix-wearing trend that continues to this day. He's also well-remembered for eating dinner with 12 other men. Hmmm....

JesusSimple Adam

Was Jesus Christ the Adam Lambert of his era? Discuss!

Hayden Panettiere: What a Lush

Heroes decided to royally suck after about Season One, and with its free fall, Hayden Panettiere became less the $h!t than she initially was. But cute she remains.

She's posing here for Lush magazine, whatever that is. Peep it:

Hayden Panettiere in Lingerie

Whatever magazine this is from, we like the direction they took.

We're sure Wladimir Klitschko approves of the look above. What guy wouldn't? Too bad she's not 10 years older and on a show that doesn't eat ass, are we right guys?

Just kidding ... her age stopped more than one 30-year-old from going there.

Crystal Bowersox vs. Janell Wheeler: Semifinalist Showdown!

Do you sense a theme early on season nine of American Idol?

The show is highlighting young women on guitars, possibly aiming to find the next Taylor Swift. Not exactly a misguided strategy.

Two of the female contestants that have advanced to the semifinals and made a strong impression on viewers are Crystal Bowersox and Janell Wheeler. The former can seriously rock a harmonica, while the latter was admittedly a bundle of nerves in Hollywood, but got the green light from all four judges anyway.

Consider the futures of these aspiring stars and vote below...
