Drunk Guy at Concert Fails to Secure Flip Flop

This has been circulating for a few weeks, but THG only just found it thanks to the social networking marvel that is Twitter, and just had to share with you.

The gist: An individual was so plastered in broad daylight at this spring's Coachella Festival that they could not locate their flip flops right in front of them.

Amazingly, it's not Lindsay Lohan!

This poor guy, apparently on his way to a portable bathroom of some kind, may have wanted to find an IV instead. Check it out if you need a good laugh:

Jersey Shore Producers: The Situation is a Diva

If you thought his attempt at rap was difficult to stomach, sources on the set of Jersey Shore say The Situation's diva-like antics are making him a pain to deal with.

The Sitch (Mike Sorrentino) has become an egomaniac convinced he knows more about making a hit show than the producers or MTV - and he's calling the shots.

As one source summed up the matter of the Staten Island gym manager, "It's gotten ridiculous. If we tell [Mike] not to cross the street, he will. He just defies us."

Moreover, the producers are trying to keep the cast real, despite the guys and girls being quasi-celebrities at this point, and that task is hardest with The Situation.

Angelina and The Situation

Jersey Shore's The Situation with Angelina (the random girl who left).

They don't want the Jersey Shore cast members making deals on the phone, bragging to others about their fame or their wallet, etc. - and he's out of control.

As a result, a lot of what's shot is unusable, because it doesn't even resemble a reality show - and that's not even what's getting to the MTV producers most.

Once a week, the cast is given time to deal with personal business deals off camera. Mike is on the phone all the time, 'cause he thinks peeps wanna see this.

You could say it's become a bit of a frustrating ... Situation.

Coming Someday: A New Man For Kate Gosselin!

A new man for Kate Gosselin ... may be pursued. Someday. There is no actual news here, despite what the splashy cover of the magazine below tries to imply.

Note how OK! shrewdly does not name said man, or state that Kate is even dating someone. Because she's not. Talk about misleading ... true, but misleading!

It’s been a year since she split with Jon, though, so time to start up the Kate Gosselin dating rumors, even if she says she's still healing and doesn't have time.

That doesn't sell magazines, though, so they give us vague reports about how the 35-year-old is "changing her controlling ways" and "ready for romance again."

We'll believe the former when we see it.

A New Man For Kate!

Only in theory, of course.

“Kate knows she can be a little controlling at times, and she’s working on that aspect of her character,” a source tells OK!. Right. Sure she is. Jon Gosselin is supposedly working on his wardrobe and penchant for lies and mediocre girls, too.

Yesterday, we reported how a new Kate Gosselin dating show may be in the works. Even that we can't really see, despite the fact that she's a ratings goldmine.

The magazine also says Kate's getting support from none other than Jon in her quest to move on. Another claim you could never refute with fact. Pure genius.

Katherine Jackson Really Wants Former Daughter-in-Law, Grandkids Out

As we previously reported, Michael Jackson's mother Katherine wants four of her grandchildren and their mom to move out so she can care for MJ's kids.

Prince, Paris and Blanket are under Katherine's guardianship, but her mansion currently houses Alejandra Jackson and her four children as well, and it's chaos.

The family housing feud began when the matriarch asked Alejandra and her four kids to move out, because they're just too much to handle for Katherine, 80.

She has two kids (Jermajesty and Jaafar) by Jermaine Jackson and two others (Donte and Randy Jr.) by Randy Jackson, who had a heart attack this week.

The deal is this: Katherine and the Michael Jackson estate have offered to let Alejandra and her brood move into a nearby condo owned by Michael Jackson.

Alejandra has lawyered up, however, and while all Katherine wants is a confidentiality agreement, Alejandra wants better digs and a big financial settlement.

Katherine and Michael Jackson

Another day, another dose of Jackson family drama.

Katherine needs Alejandra and her kids to move so she can care for Michael's kids, and is reportedly ready to play hardball over it - condo or the highway.

Sources close to the family say Katherine cares deeply for the four grandchildren but is not about to be held hostage by someone who has no legal claim.

Jermaine Jackson does owe Alejandra back child support, but Katherine sees that as her son's problem, not hers. Plus, Katherine is living on an allowance.

Michael left 40 percent of his estate to Katherine, but paid out in increments, with the remainder going to Paris, Prince and Blanket when she passes away.

Therefore, she doesn't have access to a lump sum for a payoff and the executors of MJ's estate aren't going to cover Jermaine and Randy's obligations.

Basically, it could get ugly for Katherine. Like, worse than Joe Jackson blaming Michael's death on her ugly. But don't underestimate this strong woman.

Kim Kardashian Kreates Drama Over Facial Marks

This is just sad.

There was a time when Kim Kardashian was the master at making headlines for no reason whatsoever, whether she was standing on a red carpet or talking about the baby she wanted to have someday.

But with no man in her life and no pregnancy on the way, Kim has fallen far behind her sisters. Kourtney and Khloe grace more tabloid covers than this former mainstay, who has been forced to resort to desperate antics to remain remotely relevant.

Most recent case in point: Kim has posted the following photo on her blog, assured fans it's not chicken pox and teased: I have a big announcement coming up, in which I’ll explain everything, so stay tuned!

Face Marks

What could it possibly be? Won't you be refreshing her site every five seconds to find out, readers?!?

Sound off now on what you think is wrong with Kim. Not counting the obvious lack of talent and need for attention, that is.

Justin Bieber on Megan Fox Interview: AWESOME!

First, he crushed on Kim Kardashian.

Then, he moved on to Cheryl Cole.

But Justin Bieber may be done seeking gorgeous girlfriends, now that the actress many consider to be the sexiest of all-time has expressed her affection for the young singer.

In a recent interview with E! News, Megan Fox said of Bieber: “He’s got more talent in those bangs than I’ve got in my whole body."

As you might expect, this got Justin excited, as he quickly Tweeted a link to Fox's quote:

Bieb Tweet

Watch it yourself below and accept our apologies, tweens. In order to date the Biebs, you clearly need to be older and very, very hot:

Celebrity Hair Affair: Demi Lovato

Don't worry, Miley Cyrus. You aren't the only young singer whose look we focus on.

Demi Lovato recently Tweeted a photo of her new, highlighted hair, telling followers: "Fixed some highlights + added more... I have blonde in my hair!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!"

Having recently broken up with Joe Jonas, we can only assume this is Demi's attempt to wash that relationship away and start fresh. We've posted pics of her old and new looks below. Compare, contrast and vote...

Spencer Pratt: The Tweeting Rampage Returns!

Cut off by The Hills, and possibly by his wife, Spencer Pratt has been left alone with his thoughts. Fortunately, he still a Twitter account on which to share them.

Without any reality show producers to worry about, the hothead returned to the social networking site after a prolonged absence, unleashing a fury of Tweets.

No one is safe.

While he did not directly address his separation from Heidi Montag, Spencer targeted Hills stars and strangers alike in a rant easily comprising 100+ Tweets.

On Lo Bosworth: “Lo has been banging 60 year old rich guys on the side to keep up her look because she only gets paid few grand and plays star HAHA.”

“I pray to see @lobosworth ugly ass out in a club now that i can do whatever i want without feeling bad for heidi! lo your [sic] f--ked! Wh-re!”

Crystals For Brains

Spencer Pratt has officially lost it.

On Audrina Patridge, who he previously accused of getting "Tijuana plastic surgery": “Audrina has fake everything. Damn we fakeass reality show foolios.”

On Whitney Port, now the star of MTV's The City: “No whitney port sucks and has ever since we were in high school together before all her surgeries.”

On Heidi's mom, Darlene Egelhoff: "it's her fake mom. ask the government! darlene lied about everything she told Heidi. she stole heidi as a baby! REAL."

Wow. Spreading the love to strangers as well, Spencer targeted a particular Twitter user from England who had been writing to him, sending replies.

“Glad we didn’t let you in America foreigner b--ch! USA is to [sic] smart for you fool. log off our American website and go do something foreigner.”

Heidi filed for legal separation from Spencer on June 8 with photographers in tow, igniting speculation that the couple was just scheming for publicity.

With Spencer absent from The Hills and real life in recent weeks, however, you have to wonder if Heidi really did up and leave the nut job for good.

Robert Pattinson Dishes on Eclipse Make Out Scenes, Twihards

If you listen to tabloid rumors, Robert Pattinson has either dumped Kristen Stewart or is about to be dumped by Kristen Stewart.

But if you listed to this Twilight Saga star himself, well, you won't hear anything at all about his real-life relationship. Still, Parade was able to get Robert to open up about kissing Kristen - in Eclipse, at least.

Check out the following excerpts from Pattinson's recent interview with that publication:

On Edward/Bella lip locks: "Kissing felt a little bit more natural in Eclipse, even if there was plenty of it. In New Moon and Twilight it was always like, 'Oh, I'm gonna kill you if I kiss you' or something. It was always kind of odd. But, in this one, they both understand their situation a lot more, which makes it easier. It's the first time Kristen and I have been able to just act like a normal couple."

A Smile and a Stare

On Edward wanting to wait: "Nowadays, everyone just goes around screwing everyone for no reason. Edward doesn't really want to sort of cheapen his relationship with Bella, even though she's pushing him to go all the way. He's got this certain idea of how it should go with the love of his life. He wants to do it right and not just follow his base instincts. I guess I'm a bit old fashioned in that way as well."

So... are he and Kristen dating? "I guess people like stories, that's my basic conclusion. They just want everything in our lives to be like Twilight. The truth is... that I wish I had a few more hours of sleep today so I could think of a better answer."

On dealing with Twihards: "I kind of made the transition in my head of not being freaked out by it... when it happens so often to you, you kind of actually look at people's faces and see that they're enjoying themselves, and it makes everything so much easier to accept. Everything becomes a lot easier."

Britney Spears Hearts Christian TV

Britney Spears personally took to her Twitter account tell her five million-plus followers about an up and coming artist. Christian TV, you just got a lot of new fans.

Boyfriend Jason Trawick deserves a lot of the credit, as well.

"Sitting with Jason," Tweeted Brit, who just passed Ashton Kutcher for most followers. "He just played my favorite new song of the summer, 'When She Turns 18.'"

After the pop icon shared a link to the singer's MySpace, Christian TV immediately showed his gratitude. "Thank you Britney! Glad youre feelin' it!" he Tweeted.

Britney Hearts Toys

Britney at the Toy Story 3 premiere last weekend.

She's not the only one raving about the new artist. EW says the track will have "hearts pounding and tongues wagging," calling the scorching song a potential "smash."

As for when we might hear some new music from Spears herself, we're not sure but her recent album, Circus, and subsequent world tour were hugely successful.

In the meantime, she seems quite content hanging out with Jason and her two sons, not wearing bras and occasionally Tweeting her thoughts. We love you, girl!

NOTE: Follow this link and become a follower of THG on Twitter! We might have a few million fewer fans than Britney Spears, but you have to start somewhere.

Miley Cyrus Reacts to "Idiot" Perez Hilton, Sports New Ear Tattoo

We disagree with Miley Cyrus when it comes to her wardrobe choices, musical abilities, the message she sends to fans and her overall lack of originality.

But at least we see eye-to-eye with the singer on one thing: Perez Hilton is an idiot.

A couple days after that gossip blogger stunned the world by posting an upskirt photo of this 17-year old, Miley has responded. She told Ryan Seacrest in a phone interview yesterday:

"That's some idiot being an idiot. Isn't it funny things like that, that are so negative, have to come out right before my record? It's like, no one can just let a positive thing happen."

Man, even when we're on Miley's side, we can't help but comment on how pompous she sounds. A "positive thing?" It's just a new CD, Miles. You're not changing the world here.

Bra Showing!

Meanwhile, Cyrus also made news this week for getting a new tattoo... on her ear... of the word "love."

Check it out below and let us know what you think of this unique accessory.

Jeremy London Kidnapped, Forced to Do Drugs

According to shocking reports, Jeremy London of Party of Five fame was forced to a harrowing party of three - at gunpoint - last week by a pair of kidnappers.

The actor was terrorized for nearly five hours by his attackers, telling police that he was forced to "smoke dope then purchase booze" during the awful night.

A Palm Springs, Calif., P.D. officer told celebrity gossip website Radar Online that London was snared by the dope fiends while changing a flat tire June 10.

The armed duo then threatened to shoot [Jeremy London], and then forced him to smoke either crack cocaine or amphetamines, the officer said.

Somehow, he was able to get away.

Jeremy London Picture

The actor is now safe and sound.

"He spent hours thinking he was going to die and he did what he had to do not to end up shot or dead," a source close to the actor also reported.

The actor says he managed to escape early the next morning, and the assailants were arrested in Palm Springs where London's car was found.

London was busted back in 2004 for alleged drug possession and admitted he went into rehab last year for an addiction to prescription pills.

"There were times I didn't care if I died," he told People, adding that he was ingesting up to 16 pills a day. "I felt like I was losing everything."

London has one son, Lyrik, 3, and is in the midst of a divorce with actress Melissa Cunningham. We're just happy to hear he survived this ordeal.

Mercede Johnston Going Rogue with Anti-Palin Blog

Not even 72 hours after reports surfaced about Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston getting back together, his sister Mercede has debuted her official site.

It could draw the wrath of Sarah Palin and brood, too - Mercede Johnston's new blog pledges to "answer all questions related to the Palin family."

One of her claims? Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston planned to conceive Tripp, the 18-month-old son they've spent much of the last year fighting over.

It was widely assumed this was an accident, but "During that time period, she and Levi were sexually active and trying to conceive," Mercede writes.

"As hard as it is for many of you to believe, they were indeed TRYING. Also there were rumors circulating around that she was already pregnant."

Bristol Palin, Levi Johnston

Levi and Mercede Johnston in simpler times.

We're not sure what she means by that exactly, but a source close to both Bristol and Levi says that Mercede's shocking claims are totally false.

The source also claimed that Mercede's blog is being backed by well-known Sarah Palin hater, Jesse Griffin of "The Immoral Minority" blog fame.

"Mercede was put up by Jesse Griffin to do this blog," the insider said. "He is a Palin hater and is most likely behind all of these comments."

"Levi would never comment on something like this and neither would Bristol. Mercede's claims have been contradicted by [Levi's] statements."

After an acrimonious and very public break-up, Bristol and Levi have mended their turbulent, icy relationship and recently got back together.

We'll see if that lasts after Mercede apparently decided to turn on them both for reasons unknown. What the heck is wrong with these people?!

Megan Fox for Armani: Take Too... Hot!

In January, Armani debuted its Megan Fox underwear campaign and men around the world were left with only one plausible reaction:

OMFGSH.

Now, the company has released a sneak peek at its Autumn/Winter 2010-2011 Fox pictorial - and we're left with the same reaction, plus one more: Damn you, Brian Austin Green!

This photo will hit magazines and billboards around the world next month. Motorists, be warned: drive carefully. Males drivers will likely be very distracted...

Utter Hotness

Zac Efron Accepts Award, Looks Adorable in Hawaii

Zac Efron is an actor, still in the upward trajectory of his career, with numerous magnetic performances behind and in front of him, whose mere presence on screen guarantees buzz and success.

This isn't just our opinion. This is the basis for the Shining Star Award, which Efron took home this week at the 2010 Maui Film Festival.

He accepted the special platter the Celestial Cinema in Wailea, Hawaii and the timing couldn't be better: Zac will soon start the publicity rounds for Charlie St. Cloud, which opens on July 30. Get a look at it now.

Not His Cub: DNA Tests Nixes Tiger Woods Love Child Allegations By Devon James

The notion that Tiger Woods knocked up porn star Devon James years ago would not be far-fetched at this point, but a DNA test has apparently disproved it.

Claims by one of the golfer's many, many mistresses that she gave birth to Tiger Woods' love child now appear bogus thanks to a test performed in 2002.

The DNA test was conducted to determine paternity of Devon James' son Austin T. James as part of "an ongoing child support battle," according to TMZ.

A 29-year-old porn star claimed Woods was the daddy, leaked a photo of the kid and said Austin's middle initial is a secret tribute to the golfer she loved.

Meanwhile, another mistress, Theresa Rogers, says she had Woods' baby in 2004 and negotiated a multimillion-dollar settlement to keep it under wraps.

Stay tuned on that one. But he's in the clear when it comes to Devon James' son, at least. The kid does look lot like Tiger, BTW, but alas. Sorry Austin.

Angry TigerDevon James Pic

SPANKED: We don't doubt that Tiger Woods put it to Devon James, but it seems her bid to shake him down with a fake love child have been whacked. Go science.

Jon Gosselin Smitten With Ellen Ross, Seeks Return to Television

Remember when Jon Gosselin tried to make sure his eight kids were kept off TV because, supposedly, he thought it was detrimental to their health?

Yeah, that didn't take. Largely because the only reason he did that was that TLC wanted to keep him off TV. He'd love to get back on screen, too.

"It would be nice to have a job on television again," he told Us Weekly. "I'm not so sure about reality. I'm just exploring my options right now."

"I've been meeting with certain people about different ideas. I can’t talk about it; you have to stay tuned." Oh, you better believe that we will.

As for rumors that Kate Gosselin may be getting a dating show?

"I saw some stuff on the Internet about The Bachelorette, and I saw stuff about our own dating show, but our spokesperson says it’s not true," he said.

"At this point, I don’t really mix in her business. We talk about: 'Hey, I'm going to pick up the kids at 2. Is there gas in the van? That kind of thing."

Ellen Ross PicBig Pimp in Action

Ellen Ross is Jon's latest girlfriend - and it's going well.

As for his own love life, Jon Gosselin said he couldn't be happier with his Ellen Ross, 23, whom he met on a blind date and got along with right away.

"We just kind of hit it off, backyard barbeques in Pennsylvania, hanging out, good times. She knew of me [and still] saw me as a normal person."

The relationship is "really different for me," he added, noting that despite reports that she hates kids, she makes every effort to bond with his brood.

"You have to find ways to occupy time, especially if it rains!" he said. "I was like, 'What are we going to do?' So she got Monopoly, board games."

Well played, Ellen Ross. Well played. On multiple levels.

He says he's taking their romance "day by day. I have a hard time talking about my personal life because of everything that happened last year."

"I just stray away from it. We just want to be left alone."

Just give him a new TV show, though. Please! Anyone?

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart: When in Rome...

Life is tough for Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart.

These two stars are stuck looking gorgeous, making millions and traveling the world together to promote Eclipse. A couple weeks ago, they touched down in Australia.

Last night, they posed for photos and met reporters and fans in Rome. Both Kristen and Taylor look good, but we do have one complaint: the latter should never be allowed to wear a shirt in public.

He looks handsome and all below, but come on. Nothing can compare to this!

When in Rome...

ABC Yanks Ads from Perez Hilton, Blogger Responds to Miley Cyrus Photo Scandal

Acting maturely for a change, Miley Cyrus has chosen to pretty much blow off this week's Perez Hilton photo scandal.

Her simple response to that blogger Tweeting an upskirt picture of her on Tuesday? He's just an idiot.

But ABC has reacted to Hilton's idiotic move in a harsher way, hitting the loser where it counts: in the wallet. The network has removed a banner ad for The View from Perezhilton.com.

Said a source close to the situation:

"It's not a matter of whether you like [Perez Hilton] or not, it has to do with the morality of the issue. Miley is a minor, period. There are ethics involved in running an ad on a site that potentially violated the rights of a minor, and that is what the conversation is about at the network level."

Blogging MoronBeing a Street Walker

That makes sense to us, but not to Perez, of course.

He's followed up his insincere apology to Miley and the public with this statement:

"I find it odd that an advertiser would choose to pull an ad off my site because the photo in question, which was not pornographic and showed a fully clothed Miley Cyrus, was not posted on my website or even linked from my site."

How will each side move on? Perez will continue to enjoy the free publicity this scandal has allotted him, addressing it tonight on The Joy Behar Show.

Cyrus, meanwhile, will perform a duet with Bret Michaels on Good Morning America tomorrow.

Who would have thought a 17-year old would be the mature one in this feud? And who would have thought we'd ever take Miley's side in anything? That seems to be the silver lining when it comes to Perez Hilton at least:

His utter douche baggery can bring people together in mutual hatred.

America Ferrera: Engaged to Ryan Piers Williams!

America Ferrera is engaged to marry her longtime boyfriend, Ryan Piers Williams, her rep confirmed earlier today. Congratulations to the happy couple!

The actress first met Williams at the University of Southern California when he cast her in his student film years ago. They've been inseparable since.

The first engagement rumors surrounding the couple were back in February 2007. They waited awhile to make it official, but have always gone strong.

On Wednesday, the actress sported her new diamond ring on the red carpet at the Edinburgh Film Festival screening of The Illusionist in Scotland.

All the best to the former Ugly Betty star and her future husband!

The Bachelorette: Faking Justin Rego's Injury?

Maybe they call Justin Rego Rated R for Re-shot and Re-edited.

On the June 7 episode of The Bachelorette, Ali Fedotowsky suitor Justin Rego famously limped, supposedly, to her mansion wearing a cast on his left foot.

Or was it his right foot? That depends on what clip you watch!

Hobbled wrestler Justin "Rated R" Rego was trekking up a hill one moment, then emerges in Ali's talking-head moments later with it on the other foot.

Hey, at least they didn't show the cab dropping him off.


Rated R Limps on Both Legs

Pressed on this by Ryan Seacrest after some viewers noticed after the episode in question, host-pimp Chris Harrison admitted that it was staged ... sort of.

The editing was Harrison insists, but not the injury.

"Our editing department - you never notice this unless a guy has a cast on his leg - sometimes they will flip a shot just to make it look prettier," he said.

Flip a shot? What does that even mean? Not that we expect everything on The Bachelorette to be real, but is he even hurt (ABC says yes, we're skeptical)?

Supposedly, The Bachelorette spoilers still to come this season were not staged, although you have to wonder if producers at least withheld info from Ali.

We know it's part of the show, but come on guys.

Adam Lambert Tweets Shaved Head, Top Hat Look

In his new music video, Adam Lambert seems to pay tribute to the Mad Hatter.

In a newly-posted Twitter pic, though, the singer appears to pay tribute to a formerly mad celebrity: Britney Spears.

Lambert has shaven at least part of his head, as evidenced below. He's covered his noggin with a top hat for now, though, a style he'll show off this summer across North America on his new tour.

Do you have a ticket for it yet? And what do you think of this unique look on the unique crooner?
