Farrah Abraham: Betrayed By Baby's Grandma

"I was surprised, I felt so betrayed," Farrah said of Stormie Clark, who is estranged from the Teen Mom, but who has worked tirelessly to see Sophia.

Farrah Abraham hasn't pursued a relationship with Clark since she never approved of her son, the late Derek Underwood, dating her in the first place.

Farrah Abraham is an embattled Teen Mom, but she's a fighter.

Underwood tragically passed away in a car accident two months before Sophia was born in 2009. Since then, Clark and Abraham have been at odds.

But Clark now recalls her first - and only - "surprise" run-in with her granddaughter Sophia in June at a local park in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Star.

Farrah was not there for the secret meeting. Instead, her nanny handed over baby Sophia to Clark for a photo, which she learned about only later.

"When I saw the photo it seemed to me that Sophia didn't feel comfortable. I feel bad that she was put in that situation," Farrah now recalls.

"I will never have her in the child government day care system again."

Clark says she'll "never give up" her fight to win visitation with her granddaughter, even after an Iowa judge denied her request last month.

Regardless of Stormie's claim, Farrah, who denies claims she's been abusive, is not worried Sophia will ever end up back in Clark's arms.

"I have full custody of Sophia. I'm not concerned. Stormie is out of my life," Farrah said, and hopefully, she's right. Keep up the battle, girl!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Bad Dancing, Elderly Engagements

After being MIA for most of last week's episode, Sheree came roaring back big time. In an Aston Martin no less. After all, she needs to reward herself for surviving her arduous divorce. She's also been asked to participate on Dancing with the Stars of Atlanta, a charity event. Because Sheree's all about giving back, she accepts the challenge and goes about proving to the world she can dance. Can she?

In a word: NO.

Sheree and Her Aston Martin

Kim shows off her brand new, gold drenched, Napoleonic office to her kids and parents. She also surprises Ariana with her new $60,000 bedroom. Brielle is fuming. Apparently a 2,000 square foot bedroom that takes up the top half of the house doesn't cut it for the fugly brat anymore.

Nene and Maloria, Cynthia's sister, prep for Cynthia's surprise engagement party. 50-year-old Peter asked for their help because he's finally popping the question after three years. It works! 50-year-old Peter surprises eyelash-less Cynthia with a huge ring which elicits about as much reaction from Cynthia as watching paint dry. Nene thought the rock showed more emotion but to each his own. Cynthia promises 50-year-old Peter she won't be a runaway bride. Mmm-hmmm.

Meanwhile, Phaedra starts packing for the impending arrival of her baby with the help of her assistant and a friend. Labor is being induced (yes, that's her story and she's sticking to it!) and as Phaedra so eloquently put it "this baby is ready to come out of her vagina." All class she is. P

Phaedra seems inconvenienced by this baby. Milk? Penis ointment? A 50-cent piece wrapped in gauze taped to the navel? Damn it all to hell what the doctors and nurses say, this baby's being raised country!

Sheree starts practicing for her dance debut and from what her partner, Derek Walters, and one of the judges can see, a 2x4 has more style and rhythm. Sheree, however, is not concerned. Whatever mirror she gazes into has her convinced that she's ready to take on the ballroom masters of the world.

Kandi and Lawrence start working in the studio on his "Closet Freak" track. Ladyboy Lawrence has a set of pipes on him and can actually sing so Kandi knows that this single will be a hit. Lawrence tells Kandi about Kim dissing "The Ring Don't Mean A Thing" all over town and Kandi is none too happy about that. She's fed up with Kim's crappy, lazy attitude. Find someone else to write your songs beeyotch!

Peter Proposal

Cynthia goes bridal gown shopping with her mom and sister to give her stylist some ideas. She's a supermodel, after all, and can't just buy off the rack.

She promises Mom and sis she won't be a runaway bride but she is getting overwhelmed by all this wedding business. Mmm-hmmm. Cynthia's afraid of being stuck in a loveless, dependent, controlling, abusive marriage like Mom was and she never wants that for herself.

The day of Sheree's big dance event arrives, as does Sheree in her Aston Martin and her glam team. These days big "Atlanta stars" prep in public restrooms instead of dressing rooms it seems. While Sheree continues on her delusional journey, her guests begin to arrive.

Nene brings Gregg (trailing behind like a hound dog ) as her "date" and freezes him out for the entire night. Kim drools over Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann and his ass. Future baby daddy? Nene gets all hot and bothered by "black berry" 50-year-old Peter. Who knew?!

Kim tells Kandi she'll get vocal lessons. Kandi has an 'uh-huh' attitude. Sheree needs to raise $5,000 for the event. The table decides to donate $20. Wearing a costume that appears to be from Johnny Weir's reject pile, Sheree demonstrates her wooden dance moves and elicits yawns and grimaces. The judges give her high scores proving they must be high. Sheree's proud of herself because she moved out of her comfort zone.

Which is exactly how the audience felt throughout this debacle... uncomfortable!

Scarlett Johansson Named GQ Babe of the Year

Take this, Minka Kelly!

While Esquire named that former Friday Night Lights star the Sexiest Woman Alive,GQ has come back and honored Scarlett Johansson as its 2010 Babe of the Year. For what reasons? We'll let the magazine explain:

Sexy for GQ

At 26, she remains fresh-faced, curious, trying on new moods and outlets of expression as easily as she changes her hair color. This is what we love about Scarlett: that she's game, that she's good, that she can try on all these guises without seeming to try too hard.

And all the while still seem genuinely like the observant, inquisitive (and very cute) girl in transition we fell for in Lost in Translation.

First Listen: Michael Jackson and Akon Duet on "Hold My Hand"

A duet featuring Michael Jackson and Akon was released this morning as the first official single from the late icon's posthumous upcoming album Michael.

A handwritten note by MJ was found after his death indicating his desire that "Hold My Hand" be the first single on his next album, Epic Records said.

There's no doubt about its authenticity, either. Unlike the track that leaked earlier this month, "Breaking News," Jackson's family embraces this song.

Michael Pic

Taj Jackson, one of the star's many nephews, posted an online message Sunday saying it was the last song his uncle ever played for him in person.

"He was so proud of it," Taj said. "I'll never forget the smile he had on his face as the song played through the speakers at the Palms Hotel in Vegas."

The song may be familiar to MJ fans from the unfinished version that leaked in 2008, but Akon returned to the studio to remaster the final version.

"The world was not ready to hear 'Hold My Hand' when it leaked," Akon said of the song they originally recorded in 2007. "We were devastated."

Britney Spears Bonds With Sean Preston

Britney Spears and her eldest son, Sean Preston Federline, headed out for some mother-son bonding time this weekend. Frozen treats were involved.

The adorable twosome hit up Menchie’s yogurt shop, and SP wasted no time digging in - after a pit stop at mom’s home away from home, Starbucks.

Amazing as it is that Britney Spears has a five-year-old son, motherhood does seem to suit her, especially since she got back on medication in 2008.

Here's the two of them strolling through Calabasas ...

Anonymous Stripper Claims "Nice" Threesome with Melanie Brown and Stephen Belafonte

Someone should give Melanie Brown and Stephen Belafonte Charlie Sheen's phone number.

According to a random Australian stripper, this couple has something in commonwith that troubled actor, as she claims to have engaged in a threesome with the former Spice Girl and her bald-headed husband.

The unnamed woman says she was hesitant to go back to a hotel room with the pair while they were Down Under recently, but then figured, hey, “something like that might never happen again."

Melanie Brown, Stephen Belafonte

Paging Charlie Sheen! Melanie Brown and Stephen Belafonte would like to make you an offer...

Brown and Belafonte were in Australia last Saturday to promote their new reality show, as the stripper says one of the couple's bodyguards came up and asked if she wanted to get into a sex act with the pair.

“It was nice. We had a nice time," the lady said.

There's no way to verify this story, of course, but we can relay this Brown quote from last month, speaking on a passion for love making she shares with her husband.

"We’re a pretty horny couple. We’re young, we both like sex. I’ve always liked sex and I’m going to make the most of it.”

Bristol Palin Works Her Butt Off!

"I can't believe it's been three months already," she said. Heading into tonight's waltz and paso doble double-dip, she says "I'm pretty confident now."

That confidence should come in handy this week, when the Pistol and partner Mark Ballas perform routines she describes as fierce and "pretty sexy."

The challenge, she admits, is that "I'm not a sexy girl."

Bristol Palin Shakes It

OOH, YEAH! Mark Ballas likes what he's seen from Bristol Palin so far.

"I work my butt off," she adds, dismissing any conspiracy theories surrounding her unexpectedly long run on the show, saying it's all about effort.

Besides, for every voter that would vote for her because she's her mother's daughter, "Think about all the people who hate my mom!" she said.

That's a fair point.

As for the obligatory romance rumors that engulf any Dancing With the Starstandem, Bristol Palin says she and Mark Ballas are purely friends.

"Nothing with Mark," she said. "He's like a friend."

As for other potential suitors, Bristol says she has "no time" for dating right now, especially after the way her last serious relationship ended.

"I think he is misguided," she said of Levi Johnston and plans to run for mayor of Wasilla. "But at least he's going to finish his education."

Sebastian Bach Busted For Biting Bouncer

Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach was arrested in Ontario this morning after cops say he smashed a wine glass at a bar and got into a melee.

A melee that ended with Bach biting one of the bouncers.

According to reports, the drama began when the singer got into a "dispute" with the owner of the Peterborough, Ont., pub where he'd been hanging.

Bach was asked to GTFO the joint just after midnight, but he refused. Instead, the 42-year-old fired a wine glass at the front door. Always a smart move.

The owner of the bar and a bouncer tried to restrain the singer, and that's when things got ugly. Before he knew it, Bach bit the dude on the hand.

Bach was restrained by bar staff until cops arrived and reportedly found nearly two grams of weed on Bach. Not his best night, in other words.

He was charged with assault, possession of marijuana and mischief.

Mistress of Gordon Ramsay Pens Letter to Wife of Gordon Ramsay

Forget Hell's Kitchen. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is living through Hell's Bedroom.

An affair between the reality TV star and fame-mongering mistress Sarah Symondscame to light this summer, mostly because the latter announced her plans to write a book about the relationship. (She's already the author of "Having An Affair? - A Handbook for the Other Woman.")

Now, Symonds has taken the unusual, hilarious, condescending step of actually reaching out to Tana Ramsay, Gordon's scorned wife.

Gordon Ramsay, Wife

In an open letter on her website, Symonds refers to herself as an "Infidelity Analyst" and tells Tana to "stand up for herself." It gets so much better:

I come to offer you my support with much credibility Tana, as, after my affair with your husband was exposed, I've worked extremely hard to reform myself. Now, as the first and only Infidelity Analyst in the world, I use my intimate inside knowledge (and lessons learned by my mistakes of the heart) to help women everywhere live in the truth.

I especially help wives all over the world by mentoring them on how NOT to be used and humiliated by their husbands, especially celebrity ones who think they can have it all. So, hand on heart, I write to you here today with all good intentions, because after reading - along with the rest of the world - all that is being said about you by Gordon, and by your father, I really feel for you.

I mean, it cannot be easy for a woman like you to be perceived by both of them as SO weak, and so easy to manipulate... Regain some self-respect and dignity and [do] not let your man/men treat you as a weaker individual. After all, men (whoever they are) will ONLY walk all over you IF YOU LET THEM!

Hear that, ladies? You can trust Sarah Symonds, too. She's been with a lot of married men.

Jessica Simpson or Nick Lachey: Whose Relationship Will Last Longer?

Nick and Vanessa Minnillo announced their news November 1. Then, this Sunday, we learned that Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson will wed as well.

The way marriages go nowadays, particularly in Hollywood, you can't help but wonder if either will make it. Who do you think stands the better chance?

Vanessa, Nick PicJessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Picture

Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson are getting hitched. To other people.

As for the obligatory rumor that Jessica got engaged just to "keep up" with Nick (you know someone will report this), a source says Johnson "had been planning the engagement for awhile and the date was very special to them."

Demi Lovato Described as "Out of Control Mess" While Dating Joe Jonas

At this point, it's no secret that Demi Lovato has been dealing with a number of issues for a very long time.

How did those problems affect this singer's relationship with Joe Jonas? Greatly, according to the latest issue of People.

A source tells that publication Joe had little choice but to end things because “Demi’s attitude and behavior were out of control.” This insider goes on to refer to Demi as “a tortured mess."

Still Good Friends

Lovato's struggles hit a climax on a plane out of Peru, as has already been detailed. She believed backup dancer Alex Welch had tattled on her partying habits and, according to this story:

"Walked onto the plane, did not look at the girl, then suddenly punched her in the face and threatened her with a slew of expletives. Demi’s manager asked her, ‘Are you in control at all?’ She said, ‘Sorry, I just lost it.’”

From there, Demi agreed to seek treatment - and now we're all rooting for her to get better.

Lea Michele and Cory Monteith Remain Clothed, Dish on Success of Glee

Lea Michele and Cory Monteith are no strangers to being photographed for a major magazine.

But the co-stars are strangers to being photographed for a major magazine without any controversy resulting from their scantily-clad pictorial. We're referring, of course, to their scandalous GQ spread last month.

We doubt anyone will take exception to Monteith and Michele's photo shoot in the December issue of Teen Vogue, however, as evidenced by the simple pose below:

Glee in Teen Vogue

The pair also spoke on Glee and their friendship with the magazine. A few excerpts from the interview:

Cory, on the popularity of Glee: "Even if it's not your cup of tea, it's really hard to get negative about a show that's [about] singing and dancing and that makes people smile."

Lea, on getting along with Cory: "We're such good friends that we've passed that level of weirdness. Cory farts in front of me."

Cory, on auditioning: "My manager literally had to talk me into it. I was petrified to sing in front of anyone."

Lea, on fame: "There is some bad stuff that comes with this kind of popularity. But no matter what's going on in my life, the next thing I know, we're jumping on mattresses, having slushies thrown at us - or just having fun with each other. It really does make everything OK."

Kourtney Kardashian Outsources Beauty to Maxim India

Kourtney Kardashian has outsourced her beauty to India.

The reality star is featured in a sexy pictorial as part of that country's November issue of Maxim. Indeed, critics can say what they want about Kourtney - she's annoying, starved for attention, talentless, unashamed to exploit her child for publicity and money... - but it's hard to deny Kourtney is by far the best looking of all these Kardashian sisters.

Unfortunately, we can't even sit back and enjoy that fact because only one thought crosses our minds when looking at the pics below: Scott Disick gets to go home every night and tap this?!?

Very Kute Kourtney

PETA: FUR-ious Over Kim Kardashian Koat Selektion

It was unseasonably warm in New York City yesterday, as temperatures hovered in the mid-50s.

But that didn't stop Kim Kardashian from breaking out a pair of fur coats, much to the chagrin of an organization that actually rivals this reality star in its need for attention.

Kim in Fur

Is PETA 2 FUR-ious at Kim Kardashian for these coats?

After seeing photos of Kim in the attire above, PETA released the following statement:

“Kim Kardashian is a woman who has everything - except, it seems, an ounce of sympathy for the animals who have the fur ripped off their backs so that she can purchase yet another gaudy jacket. We wish she would take a cue from her fur-free sister, Khloé Kardashian - but evidently, kindness and generosity don’t run in the family.”

Snaps, yo.

It's true that Khloe got naked for a PETA campaign months ago, but it's also true she simply dd that as a way to garner attention.

Snooki and Jionni LaValle: Disney World Love!

Sorry, Emilio Masella. You missed your shot, dog. Maybe if you weren't a drunk skank with no job (quote courtesy JWoww), you'd still be with Snooki.

Instead, Jionni LaValle has stepped into the role - and they're in love!

Over the weekend, Snooki and Jionni LaValle took a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida to celebrate her upcoming birthday. Tagging along? Her dad!

Snooki and JionniJionni LaValle and Snooki Photo

Snooki and Jionni get wet and wild. And a little blurry.

Other men have come and gone from her life in rapid succession, but she seems to have learned from her mistakes and found a genuine one this time.

Under one of the pictures Snook Tweeted, she wrote, "Fallin in love at disney :)"Awww. Looks like the Princess of Poughkeepsie has found a Prince!

Here's hoping this gorilla juicehead is "The One."

Brittny Gastineau Really Might Be Dating Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps does not have gold medal taste in women.

The Olympic legend was spotted out with socialite Brittny Gastineau over the weekend, as TMZ says its cameras caught the swimmer walking hand-in-hand with the daughter of former New York Jets star Mark Gastineau at the Grove in Los Angeles.

An insider claims this unexpected duo were "very cozy" at Mondrian Hotel and visit Coffee Bean and did some shopping together the following afternoon.

This isn't the first time Phelps has shown questionable taste in the opposite sex. He was once rumored to be dating Carrie Prejean. We agree: he's upgraded!
