Melissa Etheridge: Dating Linda Wallem, Ex-Wife's BFF, Tabloid Reports

The split between Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels just got a lot messier.

While the two continue to argue over financial issues, the singer's personal life has now come into focus - and it's a hurtful image for Michaels.

The National Enquirer reports that Etheridge is dating Linda Wallem, a producer on Nurse Jackie and someone who was in Tammy Lynn's wedding party when she married Melissa.

"Linda has been talking constantly on the set about how she and Melissa are in love and how they're in a committed relationship," a source tells the tabloid.

Etheridge and Michaels got married in 2003 and Wallem was right there with them, this friend says, adding:

"In lesbian terms, Linda was the 'best lady.' Now she's taken Tammy's place."

Owen Wilson: Already a Father!

That was fast.

Just days after Owen Wilson announced he and girlfriend Jade Duell were expecting a child, the latter has already given birth to a baby boy. The blessed event took place this afternoon in Hawaii.

Says a source close to the actor:

He "has been doing research and learning as much as he can. He's super into it and asks a lot of questions to make sure he knows what's going on every step of the way."

We See You, Justin Bieber!

Once again, Justin Bieber has gone undercover.

For the second time in a month, the 16-year old has tried to disguise himself using a fake mustache, the latest occasion coming on the red carpet of The Critics Choice Awards tonight.

But our spies are good! It took them a few hours, and they relied on many scoops from multiple sources, but our insiders have come through and spotted Justin on the red carpet. Sorry, buddy, you're gonna have to do better than this next time...

What do you think of Justin Bieber's faux facial hair?

Kanye West Trash Talks Britney on Twitter

Kanye West pulled a Kanye West and trash talked Britney Spears and her #1 single, "Hold it Against Me," on Twitter. Jokingly, we think. Mostly.

"Yo Britney, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z's single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL,” Kanye wrote.

West's Tweet, of course, is a reference to his infamous Taylor Swift MTV VMA speech hijacking and to Kanye’s new song "H.A.M." (featuring Jay-Z).

In Hot PinkCold Day in August

While West later removed the Tweet, Spears' manager Adam Leber appeared none too impressed when he responded on the pop singer's behalf.

"Thanks for 'letting' us be #1," Leber wrote. "Much appreciated."

West later apologized for it, telling fans, "On a serious note I'm truly happy for Britney Spears. No hate in 2011... I thought LOL signified a joke."

Typically yes, but when you're a total loose cannon, sometimes the public won't automatically assume you're lighthearted or poking fun at yourself.

In any case, these guys aren't kidding about taking town Brit.

JWoww Kalls Out Kim Kardashian

JWoww roughed up Sammi on this week's Jersey Shore.

But lest you think she was done throwing down for the week, she had some words for Kim Kardashian as well. Specifically Kim's newer, fuller lips.

The MTV celebrity has no tolerance for stars who won't "man up" to having work done, writing "Funny how stars don't man up to plastic surgery."

"I did. Blaming it on colds, etc. is just hysterical. Get real!"

Where's the Costume?At Tao

Amusingly, Heidi Montag, who famously underwent 10 plastic surgeries in one day, re-tweeted this comment. Kim says she's never tried to hide anything.

"I'm the first one to talk about anything that I do," she told Extra. "It really pisses me off that all of these plastic surgery rumors are always linked to me."

"I have the flu," Kardashian explained of her plumper pout. "I'm puffy and swollen, and I have no make-up on. Why would I just do my bottom lip?"

Kim? Upset about rumors involving her? We doubt it. Still, JWoww has a point. Just because Kim's 2sexy2tweet doesn't mean she has to lie about it.

Brooke Mueller Leaves Sober Living House

While the downward spiral of Charlie Sheen continues to spin drunkenly, the actor's ex-wife is getting her life back on track. Hopefully.

Reports confirm that Brooke Mueller has left the sober living house into which she checked late last year.

Addicted to Charlie

"Her treatment team felt that she is ready to leave and go back home," a source tells Radar Online, adding that Brooke has since "been enjoying spending time with her twins."

Which is nice to hear. Because Sheen clearly hasn't been.

The insider says Mueller now has a "very positive outlook for the future." The hardest part of the experience?

"Being away from the boys every night. She hated saying goodbye to them every night. Brooke would spend all day with them and tuck them in at night and then go to the sober living facility."
