Jay Leno Fan Shows His True Colors

Resurgent Tonight Show host Jay Leno was recently asked to pose with a fan during a segment on the street, but it looks said fan had something up his sleeve.

Or on his hand. Sarah Palin style.

Jay may have shamelessly ousted successor Conan O'Brien and muscled his way back into his old job at NBC, but the redhead's supporters have not forgotten.

Check out what this guy posted on Facebook. Hilarious:

COCO = Conan O'Brien. FTW = For the win. Special thanks to one of our interns for pointing these things out. Finally, we're getting our money's worth outta these kids.

Peter Graves Passes Away at 83

Peter Graves, a rugged actor who starred in the hit series Mission: Impossible, and whose career took a comic turn in Airplane!, has died. He was 83.

Graves was found dead Sunday in front of his Pacific Palisades home from apparent natural causes, said Officer Karen Rayner of the Los Angeles P.D.

He had just returned from brunch with family to celebrate his upcoming 84th birthday. He collapsed on the driveway before he could reach his house.

One of Graves' daughters administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation but was unable to revive him, his spokeswoman said. May the star rest in peace.

Peter Graves

Peter Graves starred in more than 70 TV series and films.

Typically playing the straight-laced hero, one of Graves' first big roles was in the 1953 classic, Stalag 17, in which he played an undercover Nazi spy placed among American POWs in a German camp. But his most memorable role was Mission: Impossible.

In the 1960s CBS series, later made into Tom Cruise vehicles, he played James Phelps, leader of the elite Impossible Missions Force. The show ran from 1967-1973 on CBS and 1988-1990 on ABC. He won a Golden Globe in 1971 for his role.

Heidi Montag's Manager Sees Dead People

Aiden Chase, the new manager of Heidi Montag after she fired Spencer Pratt, knows that not everybody's on board with his profession - "healer and intuitive."

Whatever the hell that means.

Chase says he helps people feel better about themselves and guide the future, which he can often see. He also says he has an ability to communicate with spirits.

Including dead celebrities. Does that mean he can speak with Heidi Montag's singing career then? Oh, we totally went there. Anyway, how did Aiden meet her?

"One of my clients referred me to Spencer and Heidi," he says. "Just after Heidi's plastic surgery, doing healing work, energy clearing ... helping put their future paths on the map. For about a month, Heidi has been asking me: 'Be my manager.'"

"When I really thought about it, really meditated, I realized I have been doing the job anyway. They had been consulting with me. It had been working for them."

Fake Heidi PicAiden Chase

Heidi Montag gets her advice from "healer" Aiden Chase.

"I'm a healer and intuitive. What that means is I'm able to channel healing energy. How I like to describe that is love energy. How your mom wipes your brow and you feel better – she's actually sending her healing energy to you."

"What we do with a healing is we set an intention and put that into effect by stating or saying: If you ask for it, it will come. I channel in the energy and it neutralizes what needs to be cleared, whether it be mind, body or spirit."

So basically, he charges an insane amount of money to blow smoke up people's a$$es. Not a bad gig. Dude actually insists he can speak to the dead, too. Really.

"Gene Kelly is one," he says. "He represented himself to me."

"I kind of got a picture in my head of him. One of my iPods just switched to different songs, which is an interesting paranormal phenomenon, and on came a song from An American in Paris. I was like: 'Oh. I listened and paid attention.'"

"'Hey, brother boy, this is Gene Kelly, I'm here to help you.'"

She may have actually been better off with Spencer.

Lady Gaga to Be Featured on Glee

Fox's hit show Glee has been off the air since December, but when it returns next month, it will make up for lost time with a tribute to the great Lady Gaga.

Creator Ryan Murphy said, "We're doing an episode as a tribute to theatricality. We reached out to Lady Gaga and she said, 'Yes, I'd love to be a part of it.'

"So yes, we will be doing Lady Gaga this season."

We can only hope for a full-length cover of her "Telephone" video, complete with ridiculous costumes and references to her alleged hermaphrodite status.

Lady Gaga in Action Live

Glee has its work cut out to do this justice!

Whether that means you'll see Lady Gaga on Glee personally is unclear, but at the very least, the show will be basing an episode around the "Bad Romance" songstress.

Last year, Gaga was the subject of an entire episode of Gossip Girl, and helped craft an "epic performance art piece" for the series. So you never know what's in store.

Madonna famously gave Glee license to cover her entire catalog, and the hit show is so sought after by aspiring singers, some American Idol vets are getting negged.

Not everyone's game, though. Coldplay and Bryan Adams said no to having their songs covered on it. Because Bryan Adams has an impeccable reputation to

South Park Ready to Ridicule Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods may be piecing his family life back together, but the troubled golfer still has a long way to go - and is the easiest of targets - in the court of public opinion.

A new season of South Park premieres Wednesday and the episode is all about Tiger. One can only imagine the kind of South Park quotes this is going to produce.

"It is such an important issue in America right now - the sex addiction outbreak," co-creator Matt Stone joked, referring to Woods' dalliances with waitresses.

"We're all really concerned about him."

Tiger Woods on South Park

Flanked by Cartman, Tiger Woods expresses deep regret.

The promotional pic above shows faux Woods during his apology speech last month, when he broke his silence for the first time since being outed as a sex fiend.

Like Family Guy, South Park is nothing if not an equal-opportunity, topical offender. Episodes have mocked Tom Cruise, Scientology, Michael Jackson's death and more.

At the very least, Stone and co-creator Trey Parker can point to Family Guy's recent controversy over Sarah Palin's Down Syndrome baby, or its classic HIV chorus line.

Anything regarding the Tiger Woods scandal will seem tame by comparison.

David Beckham Tears Achilles; Abs Thankfully Fine

Soccer star David Beckham is expected to miss the World Cup after apparently tearing his Achilles’ tendon Sunday in A.C. Milan’s 1-0 victory over Chievo Verona.

Beckham pulled up unchallenged in the center circle, hopped on his right leg, fell to the turf and shouted “It’s broken, it’s broken!” as he was carried off in tears.

He is expected to fly to Finland today to have surgery.

“He felt the muscle begin to come up, which is a typical symptom when you break an Achilles’ tendon,” Milan Coach Leonardo told Sky Sports. “It's a real blow.”

Beckham Shirtless

David Beckham's Achilles is torn, but the rest of that bod is okay.

The loss was also a blow for England's World Cup hopes, but likely not a devastating one since Beckham was not even assured a place on Fabio Capello’s roster.

England's national team is strongest in midfield, where David plays. Losing Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrard would be far, far more troubling to their chances.

Serious soccer analysis aside, the injury could put his entire soccer career in peril, but on the plus side, that'd leave much more time for underwear modeling.

You gotta look on the bright side, right? You don't need two functional Achilles tendons to have a functional David Beckham shirtless. Might as well retire now!

Omer Bhatti to Michael Jackson's Kids: I Am Your Father!

Remember Omer Bhatti? Michael Jackson's former protege and alleged secret son, is treating Blanket, the late pop icon's youngest son, as if he were his own.

Bhatti has been living with the Jackson family and telling poor little Blanket, along with his siblings Prince and Paris, that he's their father, according to reports.

The 25-year-old Norwegian rapper, who is rumored to be Michael’s son, first showed up on the Jackson scene in 1996. There's no doubt he and MJ were close.

But you have to admit, it's pretty weird that Omer Bhatti tells Jackson’s children, “Call me Michael” introduces himself as Michael and is changing his name.

“Omar has even told the children he's changed his name from Omar Jamal Bhatti to Omar Michael Bhatti,” a source close to the dysfunctional family reveals.

At various times Bhatti has told Blanket, Paris and Prince that he is their father, that their father sent him to take care of him and that he is "a real Jackson."

Omer Bhatti Photograph

Omer Bhatti holds a picture of Michael Jackson. They must be related!

The chaotic environment of the L.A. compound where MJ’s children live with their grandma, Katherine Jackson, and others has been in the news a lot lately.

California’s Department of Children and Family Services visited several times recently and has an open investigation into a stun gun incident involving Blanket.

As for Bhatti, he's lived there for some time: “He has infiltrated the Jackson family in a way that many find to be disturbing and detrimental to the children.”

He dresses identical to Michael, who seemed to revel in the confusion and controversy Omer generated. Michael even told some people that Omar was his son.

Joe Jackson says he is as well. Still, detractors say that since Michael died, Bhatti has latched on to the family and is manipulating Michael’s kids constantly.

“Prince has been particularly vulnerable to Omar and his claims,” the family source said. “He’s starting to believe Omar’s claims that Michael is his father.”

Long lost love child? Or random dude exploiting Michael’s traumatized children? Either way, he's living off the Jacksons’ money! Sweet deal!

Rielle Hunter GQ Pictures: No Pants, No Morals

Apparently Rielle Hunter has the green light to start blabbing about John Edwards and their torrid love affair, because GQ has a feature on her in its new issue.

A feature showing Edwards' mistress - a woman of "serenity and spunk" - trying hard to look sexy and, fittingly, given what she's known for, wearing no pants.

The John Edwards sex tape participant and mother of the love child he denied was his for two years certainly is captivating, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

Luckily for us, GQ got Rielle Hunter half naked, propped her on a bed full of toys, and told her to recall in detail how it was love at first sight with “Johnny.”

One of her "unfiltered" observations: It's all Elizabeth's fault!

Rielle Hunter in GQ

So many things are wrong with this, where do we even begin?

"I believe what happened in his marriage is, he could not go to his wife and say, 'We have an issue,'" she opines. "Because he would be pummeled. He had a huge fear."

"Most of [John's] mistakes or errors in judgment were because of his fear of the wrath of Elizabeth," the weird videographer adds. "He allowed himself to be pushed into a lot of things that he wouldn’t normally do because of Elizabeth’s story line."

"A lot of it relates to the spin that she wants to put out there. He was emasculated. And you know, the wrath of Elizabeth is a mighty wrath.” Oh, we so know. Totally.

So he knocked up Rielle, had Andrew Young take the fall and may have used campaign funds to cover it up because he was scared of his wife. Makes perfect sense.

She continues: “It’s beyond difficult to allow a man to be a man."

"The biggest mistake that I find is that women attempt to make men women. You know, we want them to be like we are. We want them to get it immediately and do things the way that we want them to do them. And men are men."

Rielle Hunter and DaughterRielle Hunter, No Pants

"I love him for being a man. But oh, my God, yes, it’s been infuriating so many times." So basically, Elizabeth is a banshee, and men will be men, eh, Rielle? Nut job.

Jessica Simpson Hates Guys Checking Her Out

Jessica Simpson is all self-conscious thanks to that douchebag John Mayer.

After the singer told Playboy that she was "sexual napalm" and that he wanted to "snort her like crack," Jess is concerned about guys checking her out 24/7.

Monday on The View, Simpson said Mayer's revealing Playboy interview was "embarrassing. I'll walk into a restaurant and I feel like men are looking at me."

"I feel like they're undressing me."

Yeah, John Mayer's interview is when that all started. No one goes to a Jessica Simpson concert or watches her movies because of her charisma. Just sayin'.

Undressing Her as We Speak

As she's said before, the star said Mayer's apology "doesn't really matter." Will she ever take him back? "He'll never have this napalm again!" she declared.

Amen, sister.

Simpson also shot down her rumored romance with Billy Corgan. "I can't meet anyone without being married the next week," Simpson said of Corgan, who helped produce theme song for The Price of Beauty, which premieres tonight.

"He is one of my dear friends ... he understands my heart." Deep.

Also a clothing designer, Jess told The View panel about a new product: "I'm actually about to put out a denim line: sexy mom jeans!" Sure to be a hot seller.

Check out a clip of Sexual Napalm on The View below ...

Kate Winslet, Sam Mendes to Divorce

The seven-year marriage of Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes is over.

"Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year," their lawyers said in a statement. "The split is amicable and by mutual agreement."

"Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children."

Winslet and Mendes were married back in 2003. The award-winning director and Titanic star / perennial Oscar nominee have a six-year-old son, Joe, together.

Winslet also has a daughter, Mia, 9, from her first marriage to Jim Threapleton. It's always sad to report stories like this, but we wish them both the best.

Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet are throwing in the towel.

Spencer Pratt Quits The Hills to Fight Cyber Threats

The Hills just isn't the same without Lauren Conrad. Take away the entertainment of Spencer Pratt and it's pretty much worthless ... which we'd better get used to.

The reality TV villain says he's leaving the show, and we think he's serious, to take his career in a surprising new direction: To protect America from cyber threats.

Seriously. People reported this.

"In the last few months I discovered a new passion and new purpose to my life," Pratt said. "With this in mind, I have decided to take a break from MTV's The Hills."

Now studying software engineering with a focus on encryption at USC, Spencer Pratt says he's off to work for American Defense Enterprises' cyber security division.

His first mission? Making sure all Heidi Montag pictures are secure!

V. I. Pimp

Our first, and hopefully not last line of defense against hackers.

"Upon learning of President Obama's declaration that the 'cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation,' I have decided to refocus my energy and resources to helping America," he says.

"My new mission is this: To do my part in maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent emerging technologies from threatening our nation's security as we face this and other unprecedented challenges."

That's ... awesome actually. But this is Spencer Pratt. He can't possibly be serious, right? Is there a reality TV crew on call to film him fighting cyber-terrorists?

"I am saddened to take this break from MTV's The Hills," he admits. "However I feel I would not be honoring my country if I were to continue when I have the ability and opportunity to assist our nation against these prevalent threats."

Pratt's wife, Heidi Montag, remains on The Hills. Spencer has also been relieved of managerial duties for Heidi, who's now using Malibu-based psychic Aiden Chase.

Cyber Threat

These jerks have met their sleazy match.

Charlie Sheen Ready to Cop a Plea to ... Something

Charlie Sheen is prepared to plead guilty following his drunken Christmas melee with wife Brooke Mueller. The only thing left is to hammer out the logistics.

The prosecution in the assault case is reportedly not looking for jail time, but wants Sheen to either cop a guilty plea to a felony or stand trial for the attack.

The Two and a Half Men star is more than willing to plead guilty or no contest to a misdemeanor with no jail time, which means this boils down to one issue:

Whether Charlie pleads to a misdemeanor or a felony. Charlie's position is that Aspen, Colo., prosecutors routinely accept misdemeanor pleas in such cases.

Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen Picture

Charlie and Brooke have been through a lot lately.

Sheen also wants the case dismissed outright at the end of the probationary period, which is likely to span a year or more. So what's the hangup here?

The Aspen D.A. is reluctant to let Charlie already off too easily.

In 1997, the troubled star pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery in a domestic violence case involving then-girlfriend Brittany Ashland. That's an issue.

The Aspen D.A. feels that given Charlie's history, a felony is appropriate. So his fate in the Brooke Mueller incident may involve more legal wrangling yet.

Stay tuned ...

Lauren Conrad Previews Kohl's Fashion Line

Where does Lauren Conrad turn when she needs a wardrobe update?

To the fashion collection she herself designed for Kohl’s, of course.

“I think if you’re not willing to wear your own clothes, you’re doing something wrong," she says. "This line was meant to be about my style, pieces I want to walk in the store and buy. If you’re not wearing your own line, you’re taking the fun out of it!”

Here's Lauren looking fabulous in one of her pieces ...

So Gorgeous

Known for her flirty frocks and California cool girl style, Lauren tells Glamour her staple piece is the blazer. “We have one in every collection, and we usually tweak it a little bit. In this specific collection, I also really love the biker jacket we did.”

Come spring, the former star of The Hills says she’ll be pairing her sharp toppers with lots of watercolor prints: “I think they’re very romantic and kind of timeless."

"I almost did too much of it with this collection," she says. "When we were shopping for prints with Kohl’s, everything I picked was watercolor and floral."

"They’re very in because of the whole Alice in Wonderland thing.”

However one fashion fad the style author won’t be trying this season is hot pants: “You can’t wear them to the club, because you’re going to look like one of the dancers, but they could look cute on the beach!” says LC.

Kim Kardashian Too Famous For Own Reality Show

If Kim Kardashian is known for one thing involving cameras, it's moanin' and groanin' as Ray J worked his magic up in dat thang. But if she's known for a second thing, it's totally E!’s hit reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

A show that may no longer be able to afford her.

Now a household name for whatever reason, Kim's professional celebrity status has thrown a wrench into negotiations for the fifth season of Keeping Up.

Her star power has been a boost for the show, but as Kim Kardashian becomes increasingly popular, she may have options more lucrative than E! can match.

"Kim's advisors feel it may be time to explore bigger deals on bigger networks,” a TV insider with alleged knowledge of the ongoing negotiations says.

Just Too Famous

BIG TIME: That applies to Kim's booty, and level of fame apparently.

“She's right to feel like she doesn't need to open up her life to make a living. It looks like Kim can make a lot more money than the TV show can pay her, especially through her endorsement deals and doing appearances on bigger shows.”

Huh? Really, insider? The only reason she makes a living is by opening up her life ... and legs, for Ray J. But that's neither here nor there at this point.

At this juncture, E!'s options could be limited. The source says that they can dig deep and make Kim an offer she and her representatives can't refuse.

On the flip side, the network re-fashion Keeping Up With The Kardashians to focus on the remaining cast members. Talk about a ticking time bomb!

"Neither path makes much business sense, especially when the Miami spinoff is doing just fine," says the Kim source. "The most likely scenario is shutting down the show altogether and focusing resources on the Miami-Khloe and Kourtney franchise."

Corey Feldman Skipping Corey Haim Funeral Today, Planning Separate Memorial Within the Month

Corey Feldman will not be at Corey Haim's funeral today out of respect for his best friend and fellow former child star's family's wishes, the actor said in a statement.

"In the days following my best friend Corey Haim's death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me," Feldman said.

"Due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy," he continued. "The family has decided to make Corey Haim's funeral on Tuesday a small private affair."

The private funeral service will take place Tuesday in Toronto, and is funded Startifacts, a celebrity memorabilia Web site, which volunteered to donate $20,000.

The money for the funeral will come from the auctioning off Haim's belongings. His family asks fans to send flowers to a local cancer ward instead of the service.

2 Coreys

Corey Feldman will be MIA today, but says he will be planning a separate, public memorial for his Lost Boys co-star that will reportedly take place around April 2.

"I am working with a few people who were close to Corey to put a memorial together within the next month," he said. "The media will be invited to honor and celebrate the legacy he left behind, along with friends, fans and the Hollywood community."

Corey Haim died Wednesday at the age of 38 of an apparent drug overdose while at his mother's Los Angeles. He fought a long battle with substance abuse in life.

Haim's mom said he had an enlarged heart, pulmonary congestion and water in his lungs at the time of his death, which has been linked to a massive drug ring.

The L.A. County Coroner's office is awaiting results of toxicology tests and has not ruled out a drug overdose, though it does not appear to be foul play or suicide.

Rielle Hunter "Repulsed" By Rielle Hunter GQ Pics

Rielle Hunter "cried for two hours" after seeing those "repulsive" photos of herself in GQ. Pictures she posed and removed her pants for very much willingly.

Just the same, the baby mama of disgraced politician John Edwards is apparently not pleased with several suggestive photographs in the magazine spread.

Oh, boo freaking hoo, Rielle.

First, you took off your own damn pants. Second, you're the third party in a huge sex scandal in which a politician cheated on his terminally ill wife with you.

In short, just shut the hell up.

Rielle Hunter, No Pants

How dare GQ print Rielle Hunter pics Rielle Hunter posed for?!?

On The View this morning, co-host Barbara Walters said she had already spoken to Hunter, who trusted photographer Mark Seliger to take "classy photos."

That's not entirely how it played out.

What transpired were Rielle Hunter pictures showing her in no pants, a button-down shirt, posing provocatively in pearls on a bed full of stuffed animals.

Quite racy. And weird.

Walters quoted her saying that she "went with the flow" during the GQ photo shoot, which also showed her holding John Edwards love child Frances Quinn.

When asked about the current state of her relationship with Edwards, Hunter reportedly replied, "We are co-parents and have a very loving relationship."

Rielle Hunter and Daughter

Rielle Hunter bares her belly. Her soul? Long gone.

Hunter says she's still in love with "Johnny" and believes he loves her. She saidthat his marriage was "toxic," and that he feared "the wrath of Elizabeth."

The weird videographer also confirms her first words to Edwards were, "You're so hot." He's a Casanova, that guy. They met in his room that very night.

No word on when they made the John Edwards sex tape. Word has it she was pregnant at the time, which pretty much ups the grossness factor tenfold.
