Megan Fox Got Married Because She’s Pregnant

At least according to Star magazine. In their print edition this week they posted this little blurb that may confirm that Megan Foxwas knocked up when she got married in Hawaii last week.

Could it be because there’s more than just love in the air?

“It’s being whispered that they got married because Megan’s expecting,” a source tells Star. A friend of Megan admits she’s “been trying to get pregnant.” And Brian was spotted lovingly rubbing his wife’s belly. “He was really gentle with her, especially when touched her stomach. She was glowing,” says the source.

Not sure if I can buy into this one. Megan has lost so much weight lately, it’s possible she might have a hard time getting pregnant. Plus, since getting fired from Transformers she going to have start hustling to keep her career afloat. Meanwhile, her new hubby will be bringing home he bacon from his new role on Desperate Housewives.

Paul the octopus has made his final selections

Paul the octopus has made his final selections

As the international tug-of-war between Germans wanting to eat him and Spaniards wanting to protect him to the death does something less than rage on, Paul the Oracle Octopus has continued with his charlatan ways and picked winners of both the third-place match and the World Cup final. Given Paul's perfect record in picking his food out of the box covered with the flag of the team that goes on to win the World Cup match, these choices have now reached gospel status. Television networks in Germany, Spain and the Netherlands interrupted their programming to broadcast their octopus overlord's decisions live on Friday. And then they waited, eager and nervous. For an octopus to eat a piece of food.

First up was the Uruguay vs. Germany third-place match. And according to Reuters, Paul is becoming a bit of a showman:

On Friday Paul first settled on top of the Germany container but after a few minutes shifted to the Uruguay container. Then after about 15 minutes he went back to Germany container, quickly opened the lid and ate the morsel of food inside.

Fifteen minutes to make a pick? Come on, Paul. Don't be like LeBron.

Picking Germany was probably a smart decision, though. Maybe it will quell the death threats and allow Paul to finally get back to a normal life. Yet, we do know that Paul didn't make his pick under duress because, well, he's an octopus and doesn't know what these people are doing to him.

Anyway, which box would Paul select when humbly asked to make a special non-German match second selection? Who will win it all, Paul — Spain or the Netherlands? Tell us so we can bask in your tentacled glory! Spanish television personalities awaited his decision with mild interest...

Spain! Pulpo Paul is attempting to cement his bid to become the new king of Spain — the first step in his deliberate plot to seize absolute power over the entire universe — by picking them to win their first World Cup. And so it is foretold, and so it is written.

Also featured in that Reuters video report at the top is that prognosticating parakeet threat to Paul's crown, and Paul's captor speaking casually about the octopus' rapidly impending death. Assuming, of course, that Paul is like every other mortal octopus and not, in fact, the Highlander.



Irate Cleveland Fans Burn LeBron James Jerseys, Cavs Owner Goes Off on "Narcissistic" Star

Even if Leicester Bryce Stovell is the father of LeBron James, it's unclear why this random dude would be entitled to any money.

Conversely, it's crystal clear why so many sports fans are trashing James today: the egotistical superstar didn't simply abandon his hometown of Cleveland for the Miami Heat - he did so in a ridiculously staged primetime special in front of a national audience.

LeBron James and Delonte West

We'd go off on LeBron more, but Cavs' owner Dan Gilbert says it all in an email he posted on the team's official site last night. Aside from telling a reporter that James "quit" in the playoffs, Gilbert wrote to fans:

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio... I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only: DELIVERING YOU the championship.

How do Cavs fans feel about LeBron's departure? See for yourselves:

Britney Spears Glee Episode: Confirmed!

That would-be Britney Spears-themed episode of Glee the singer's manager Tweeted about in a shameless attempt to cash in on the Fox series' buzz?

It's totally on!

We're as surprised as anyone, but the show's creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that he’s writing an episode dedicated to her.

More than 13.5 million people tuned in to a Madonna-inspired episode last April. Can a Britney-themed episode come close to that total? Probably.

Will it be any good? That's another story.

At the Bizzucks

GIMME MORE GLEE! Britney Spears' music is coming to the second season of the hit show. Hopefully the Glee cast all goes to Starbucks in honor of the pop princess.

Not everyone on the show, which was nominated for 19 Emmys, will be thrilled. Last May, Matthew Morrison, who plays Will Schuester, actually scoffed at the idea:

"I hope our show doesn't go along that route," he said.

We sort of hoped they wouldn't, too, but perhaps we'll be pleasantly surprised. It just doesn't seem like she has the kind of catalog or musical style to fit the show.

Lady Gaga and Madonna have more vocal talent. Breathy moans, suggestive lyrics and auto-tuning might sell records, but how will they translate on the program?

Lady Gaga Braves Rain, Wows Today Show Crowd

A little rain couldn't slow down Lady Gaga's reign.

The singer played a full half-hour set on the Today show, belting out her newest song “You and I” (reportedly written for boyfriend Luc Carl) and some of her other hits.

Originally wearing oversized sparkle-encrusted bug goggles, she finished the routine without them. She did her traditional heel-banging on the piano, not to worry.

Here's the powerhouse performer in action ...

Piano Roller

A Lady Gaga live performance is a uniquely awesome experience.

As always, she left it all on the stage. Whether you love her music or you don't, there's no disputing that unlike many artists, she gives her all in concert day in and day out

Kristen Stewart in Welcome to the Rileys: Bella Who?!?

If Kristen Stewart is shy in public areas, how might she react while giving an Oscar acceptable speech?

We're making quite the leap, of course, but the Twilight Saga star is receiving critical praise for her role in Welcome to the Rileys, a drama that comes out in October and co-stars James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo.

In the film, Gandolfini's character is mourning the loss of his daughter and treats Stewart as a surrogate for his late child, as the latter portrays a runaway stripper. It's quite the departure from Bella Swan.

We don't see a great deal of Stewart in the trailer below, but you can get an early look at her role and at the movie now:


Welcome to the Rileys Trailer

As for Kristen's handsome boyfriend, Robert Pattinson is busy filming Water for Elephants these days. Both these stars should have bright careers long past the day the cameras stop rolling on Breaking Dawn.

Lethal Weapon 5? Mel Gibson Accused of Gun Threat Against Oksana Grigorieva

In what is quickly becoming an uglier feud by the day, Oksana Grigorieva has apparently told Sheriff's deputies Mel Gibson threatened her - with a gun.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Department is investigating the actor for alleged domestic battery, assault with a deadly weapon and child endangerment.

The investigation is based on the following:

  • Domestic Violence: Oksana alleges Mel punched her in the face twice, knocking out a tooth and chipping another one. Mel's lawyers deny this.
  • Assault with a Deadly Weapon: Oksana told deputies Mel threatened her with a handgun at his Malibu home, an allegation based on her word.
  • Child Endangerment: Oksana claims that on January 6 of this year, Mel allegedly punched her in the face while she was holding their daughter.

There was also that racist, sexist tirade.

Satanic Mel GibsonMel

The accusations are piling up against Mel ... but is Oksana lying?

As we reported earlier today, Mel's lawyers will likely present evidence to deputies that Oksana made up some of the stories and tried to extort him.

He is expected to allege that she has demanded cash in return for secret, recorded tapes of their explosive arguments, some of which were leaked.

According to TMZ, Mel's lawyers will meet with officials to argue Mel is innocent of any crime against Oksana Grigorieva, and the victim of extortion.

The website also claims Mel's lawyers will present evidence that Oksana lied to Sheriff's deputies by knowingly making numerous false statements.

The Sheriff's Department will present the case to the L.A. County D.A.'s office for felony review ... probably in two weeks. More details to come ...
