Perez Hilton Pledges to Be Nice

Might we be seeing a new side to Perez Hilton?

Following a rash of recent suicides by gay men, most notably that of Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi, the blogger has been posing anti-bullying messages on his website. For example, check out Kim Kardashian's message HERE.

The New Perez?

"Over the last two weeks I have been doing everything I can to bring awareness to the teen suicides and gay bullying," Hilton tells Ellen DeGeneres on an episode of that host's talk show that airs today. "In doing so, a lot of people have called me a hypocrite and a bully myself and a big one... From now on I really want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem."

Meaning what, exactly?

Perez didn't get specific, but he would need to overhaul his entire blogging style in order to make a change toward the positive.

This is a man notorious for drawing penises on photos, referring to stars by insulting nicknames (e.g. "Maniston"), trying to out other gays (he forced Neil Patrick Harris out of the closet in 2006 by asking men to report intimate stories about the actor to him) and posting inappropriate pics of underage celebs (see flap, Miley Cyrus).

Is he capable of such adjustments? Can Perez Hilton - gasp! - be nice? Watch this message from Hilton on the topic and check out his segment with Ellen below:



Gavin Rossdale Admits Gay Fling With Marilyn

Kim Kardashian says she relates to gay youth, but this is probably a better example of a celebrity whose early dalliances may strike a chord with some teens.

Gavin Rossdale, father of two, rock star and husband of the coolest chick alive, never seemed like the cross-dressing type. But apparently he used to be.

Gwen Stefani's better half admits he hooked up with cross-dressing '80s pop singer Marilyn back in his formative years. Now that we didn't see coming.

This is Marilyn. He/she bedded Gavin Rossdale in the '80s.

"When you're 17, Jesus Christ. I don't think there's anything strange about any form of ... you're learning about life," the Bush frontman tells Details.

"It's a part of growing up. That's it. No more, no less."

While Marilyn says it lasted years, Rossdale says it was a one-shot deal. "That was it," he says. "You have to know what you like, and I know what I like."

Rossdale and Marilyn's relationship was first revealed by Boy George back in 1995. However, this is the first time Rossdale has talked publicly about it.

Why now? "I think at the outset there was a sort of fear ... that was right at the bginning of Bush, and I didn't want it to be part of it," he admits.

"It felt like a cheap shot. I was like, 'I'm not getting involved.' I never wanted to appear closed about it, but [try to avoid] the glare of a tabloid world."

Good for Gavin for being secure enough to get this one off his chest.

Rachel Zoe: Pregnant!

For the first time ever, Rachel Zoe will no longer be a size 00.

We're saying she's pregnant! “It’s very hush-hush,” a source says of the fashion maven, who's expecting with her husband of 12 years, Rodger Berman.

“Rachel’s telling people she can’t travel,” notes the insider.

Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman

Congratulations to Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman!

A witness says that at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic event in L.A.’s Pacific Palisades last weekend, Zoe only imbibed water with lemon, while Berman had champagne.

Sounds like a done deal to us. Moreover, the news even brought out well-wishes from her former costar, Brad Goreski, though it’s been reported they’re feuding.

“We’re still close,” he says. “I hope to be in the delivery room!”

Director Compares to Kristen Stewart to a "Herd of Cats"

Kristen Stewart is like a herd of cats... but in a good way!

So says Jake Scott, the director of Welcome to the Rileys, an upcoming drama in which the Twilight Saga star portrays a downtrodden stripper. Asked about working with the actress by E! News, Scott replied:

"She's very vulpine - very wolfish - and wily, kind of twitchy. Directing her is kind of like wrangling a herd of cats."

As a StripperWelcome to the Rileys Still

Bella who?!? Kristen Stewart expands her resume in Welcome to the Rileys.

It sounds like the director means this in a complimentary manner, though, as he continued:

"[Kristen]'s been playing this same character in - what? - two or three movies now, and that frustrates her. She wants to be taken seriously as an actress... she's very proud of her work in this movie."

The film centers around a couple, played by James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo, who has lost their daughter. In an attempt to recover from this pain, Gandolfini's character befriends Stewart's Mallory and attempts to turn her life around.

Playing All the Holes: Tiger Woods Sex Tape Exists, Will Be Released, Devon James Totally Swears

Devon James insists she is in possession of a Tiger Woods sex tape. We don't believe her at all, but you gotta give her credit for the effort put into these lies.

Like George driving all the way to his fake house in the Hamptons hoping his in-laws would blink first (some classic Seinfeld quotes), there's no stopping her.

Producer/husband Nick James says Devon and Tiger's sex video will be available Friday, with the XXX release moving forward “no matter what.”

Devon James ImageTiger Woods: Bachelor

Devon James is relentless with her tall Tiger tales.

“I was told there was a bid by his lawyers to buy the tape but so far no deal has been struck and I don’t think it will be either,” Nick told Radar Online.

The couple's website, TigerTapeXXX (dot) com, promises "Tiger Woods playing all the holes" of his former girl and says pre-orders will begin Oct. 15.

NOTE: There is no proof the Tiger Woods sex tape actually exists.

We need not remind you that porn star Devon also alleged that Tiger Woods is the father of her 9-year-old son Austin, which turned out to be bogus.

There are also reports circulating that she and Nick James filmed the alleged Tiger tape only recently, going so far as to recruit a Tiger look-alike star.

Devon’s former manager, Gina Rodriguez, does not believe that the tape exists, saying James wanted to "find a Tiger look a like and make a tape."

"I told them that I would have no part of a fake tape," Rodriguez said.

There's also this problem. Tiger’s lawyers secured a court order barring British publications from printing naked pictures or videos of the golf great.

While not an "admission that any such photographs exist," the ruling certainly would guarantee a huge ass lawsuit if someone pulled a stunt like this.

Still, Dev, who allegedly threatened the life of co-mistress Joslyn James, boasts online, “Come watch Devon f*ck and s*ck and why Tiger WOULD too!"

That makes zero sense, but we admire the spirit of this whole charade.

Did Glee Cross the Line?

Last week, the Parents' Television Council came down on Glee for implying that Britney Spears was any kind of role model.

We wonder if the group will have anything to say about this: on last night's episode of the Fox hit, a scene featured high school cheerleaders Brittany and Santana talking, smooching in bed... and referencing their experience with "scissoring!"

Glee Pic

Glee is all about self-expression. But does it ever go too far?

Considering the hour at which the show airs, along with its popularity among teens, it's shocking this reference made it past network censors.

If you aren't familiar with the term, consider female genitalia, think about ways in which women might pleasure one another and use your imagination.

Then, check out the scene in question below and sound off on whether you think it was appropriate to include:



Jennifer Grey: A "Dancing" Resurgence Continues

Sure, Brandy and Audrina Patridge can move. But Jennifer Grey proved Monday that she's still the woman to beat on Dancing With the Stars this season.

More or less out of the spotlight for more than 20 years, that's quite a feat for a woman at the half-century mark. Her age has posed some issues, too.

"Before the show, I thought, Oh, I should get some Botox, get rid of the wrinkles under my eyes," Grey admitted in an interview with Us Weekly.

Jennifer Grey and Derek HoughJennifer Grey Cover

Can anyone stop Jennifer and Derek Hough on Dancing With the Stars?

"When you put a lot of makeup, the lines become very apparent," she adds, but credits her husband of nine years, Clark Gregg, for talking her out of it.

Clark told her "not to touch anything, to be who I am, because I look great."

"Aging is inevitable and the idea that we can all be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society," says Jennifer Grey, the mother of a daughter, Stella, 8.

"When my body and face were perfect as far as youth, I wasn't happy. If you try to hold on to something you don't have, you can't [live] in the moment."

Words to live by. Who are you rooting for on Dancing With the Stars after four weeks? Jennifer? Someone else? Vote in our survey below!

David Arquette on Howard Stern Phone Call: My Bad!

Note to David Arquette: when your wife asks for a legal separation because she's sick of playing mother to an immature fool, there are many ways to win her back.

Calling a nationally syndicated talk show and ranting about your lack of a sex life with her is not one of them.

Legally Separated

But that's exactly what the actor did yesterday morning, just a day after his split with Courteney Cox went public. Now, Arquette says he went too far with the details revealed in the call.

"I went on Howard Stern yesterday to provide clarity and honesty about what I'm experiencing, but while doing that I shared too much," he said. "It's alright for me to be honest about my own feelings, but in retrospect some of the information I provided involved others and for that I am sorry and humbled."

Arquette also admitted to sleeping with bartender Jasmine Waltz, a fact that celebrity fling machine isn't happy to have in the open.

"Thank you all for your love and support at this time," the actor Tweeted. "I'm trying figuring out how to be the best person I can be. But it's been a process of trial and error... life is a process of spiritual evolution. I'm sure Courteney and myself will emerge from this painful time better people for what we've learned."

Or at least more famous. When was the last time David Arquette received this much attention?!?

Fake Nanny: Angelina Jolie Lets Maddox Swear, Drive Cars, Drink Wine

Angelina Jolie may want to rethink her hiring policies.

If we had a nickel for every WORLD EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW obtained by In Touch and its ilk featuring one of her ex-employees ... we'd have like 75 cents.

Still, that's like 15 times, which is probably not even that big an exaggeration at this point. How many times have you seen almost this exact tabloid cover:

SNOOOOOOZE

According to Ange's latest made-up nanny, she sucks as a mom!

If nothing else, they came up with funny lies this time at least. Notably that Angelina lets son Maddox drive the car and drink wine. Hopefully not at the same time.

Not quite as creative as Brad nailing a Jen look-alike, but not shabby, In Touch. We know you can build on this and do better. Show us what you've got next week.

Maybe Shiloh can disown Angelina? Or the twins can accuse her of abuse? We do not put it past them. These stories make Amber Portwood look downright sane.
