Demi Lovato Thanks Fans for Support, Award

Due to her stint in a treatment center, Demi Lovato could not attend this month's People's Choice Awards.

But that didn't stop fans from voting her their favorite guest star for her role on Grey's Anatomy; and anointing Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam as their favorite family TV movie.

In response, on her official Facebook page, the young singer has written:

"I wish to thank all the friends and fans who voted for me for the People's Choice Awards and the Hot Hits Hottest Teen Stars of 2010. I want to make sure my fans know how thankful I am for all their love, support and prayers during this difficult time. Thank you for standing beside me through it all."

There's no time table for Demi's return to public life, but we hope she takes as long as she needs to do away with her personal demons for good.

Glee to Pay Homage to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"

Move over, Justin Bieber. You've got Glee-ful company.

Ryan Murphy, creator of the Fox series, says a future episode will feature a single that hasn't even been released yet: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."

How will Glee utilize her new song, due out in February (the album of the same name comes out in May)? It'll involve Kurt's nemesis, Karofsky.

BORN THIS WAY: Glee will devote an entire episode to the song.

“I love that that song is anthem,” says Murphy. “So I don’t really know what [it's] going to be yet, but ... we’re going to do a whole episode that’s about that song.”

While the full version has not yet been heard, Gaga recently dropped her pants (and the release date). The Lady also sang part of it a capella at the MTV VMAs.

Sarah Palin "Crosshairs" Map: Still on Facebook!

It turns out that Sarah Palin's controversial list of "targets" in the 2010 elections, which included U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, is still on Facebook.

Giffords was shot over the weekend and is in critical condition.

No one thinks Palin was responsible or even indirectly to blame for the act of lunacy committed by Jared Loughner, but she been getting flack for her fiery rhetoric and apparent gun imagery in the wake of the shooting. Her response?

A Palin staffer defended the above graphic, saying, "We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights ... It was simply crosshairs like you'd see on maps."

Riiiight. Maybe we've been watching too much Sarah Palin's Alaska, but somehow we weren't thinking about cartography when we saw this. Or when she Tweeted at "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America [to] RELOAD!"

How about you? When you think of crosshairs, you think of ...

Is Khloe Kardashian Pregnant?

Khloe Kardashian spends every other interview talking about motherhood.

But might the new red head finally have stopped talking about the subject and stared doing something (read: boning!) about it?

An insider tells The New York Post that Khloe "has been hiding a tell-tale bump behind flowing dresses and oversized handbags." This source points to her outfit at last week's People's Choice Awards as evidence, meaning readers can decide for themselves: Is there a fetus under there?

When Khloe Kardashian gets pregnant, we have a feeling she won't be shy about telling the world.

While tabloids have speculated about a new Kardashian pregnancy for months, there is a legitimate reason for this rumor to be taken with a grain of salt slightly smaller than Khloe's boobs:

She and Lamar Odom have signed on for a new reality show. And what better way to guarantee interesting storylines that to squeeze out a cousin for Mason Dash?

Tom Lippolis on JWoww Nude Pics: Her Idea!

Tom Lippolis says it's a completely laughable allegation that JWoww from Jersey Shore did not know he was photographing her buck a$$ naked.

Her attorney suggested this shady behavior, even implying that JWoww (real name Jenni Farley) was under anesthesia when he took the pics.

Team Farley recently filed a court motion negging Tom from releasing JWoww nude photos. Her lawyer, Rudy Fusco, said she denied consenting.

Is JWoww the victim, or hanging Tom out to dry?

"Jenni says she must have been under anesthesia when they were taken," said Fusco, a comment Lippolis denies and says is preposterous.

"What a joke! How are you under anesthesia when you are standing up posing for the pictures?" Lippolis said. "[Jenni's] looking right at me."

He's got a point. That'll knock a girl out. Almost as ridiculous an excuse as the one given for the gun sights on Sarah Palin's crosshairs map.

He continues, "They had not given her anesthesia when I took the pictures, she was actually standing up with her hands placed on her hips."

According to Lippolis, the nude photos he took were actually JWoww's idea, to compare how she looked both pre- and post-plastic surgery.

Tom said he took the pics an hour before: "She told me, 'Take two pictures, one from the front and one from behind then take them after."

Lippolis' lawyer believes that, in turn, the MTV star does not have any right to block his client from doing what he wants with the photos.

Lippolis, who was seen briefly on the Jersey Shore Season 3 premiere, is also suing for fees he says are owed to him for managing her.

Pair of Women to Sue Dr. Phil For Locking Them in House With Naked Dude

Several women are suing TV doctor personality Dr. Phil, claiming he traumatized them by trapping them in a house and forcing them to look at a naked man.

Somewhere, Brett Favre is jealous he didn't think of this.

Four years ago, six individuals, including plaintiffs Crystal Matchett and Shirley Dieu, were invited to a house as Phil's "dinner guests." Worst. Dinner. Ever.

The invitation was part of a Big Brother-esque type episode where these individuals were secured in a "mock house" with no contact from the outside world.

On the third night, the women opened the door to their "house" to find a naked man. The women then hid in a room and allegedly asked to leave.

The TV crew laughed at them and promptly refused.

We don't know what the point of the sequestration or naked dude was, but we look forward to hearing Phil's explanation for it in response to the lawsuit.

When the two ladies originally filed their lawsuits last year, CBS filed an anti-SLAPP motion, arguing that Dr. Phil's conduct was protected free speech.

However, a circuit court denied the motion, asserting that what was shown on Dr. Phil's show is considered "entertainment," not of "public interest."

Therefore, it doesn't qualify for protection under the 1st Amendment.

But because the women both signed contracts with the show, an appeals court this morning that they could not sue CBS for negligence. However ...

They may sue in a lower court, which include fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

According to a source, this rule demonstrates "a likelihood" that the women will win their case. Oh, guess what, too? It's YOUR FAULT, PHIL!!

Dr. Conrad Murray's Defense Plays its Hand, Insinuates Michael Jackson Did Himself In

After remaining mostly silent thus far, Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers laid some of the groundwork for their defense at his preliminary hearing today.

He's charged with involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death. Murray's lawyer, J. Michael Flanagan, asked a Coroner investigator two questions:

1. Was the IV bag of Propofol fingerprinted?
2. Was it possible for Jackson to reach the syringes from the bed?

The defense will argue that Jackson killed himself by accident as he grew frustrated when he couldn't sleep and gave himself the fatal dosage.

Propofol, a powerful anesthetic, is what killed Jackson. An investigator for the L.A. County Coroner's Office said 12 bottles were found in his home.

A pharmacist Dr. Murray used to order Propofol testified that the doctor ordered box after box of the drug in the two months before Jackson died.

In all, Murray, the sole defendant in the Michael Jackson case, ordered 255 vials of Propofol in the two months leading up to the singer's demise.

Douglas will still have to see the doctor on a monthly basis, but says his appetite is back and he's gradually gaining the weight he lost during his illness. What has he learned/experienced?

"All of a sudden the affection from my family, from my friends, and from my fans hit me at a much deeper level than I would have ever imagined before. And it gave me a really new appreciation of just how valuable, how precious good friends are and family."

Brad Womack: I'm So in Love!

Have no fear, Bachelor skeptics.

Brad Womack, who talked about how he was "happy with his decision" the last time he was in this position, is leaving nothing open-ended how. He's in love.

"I call this woman about 20 times a day. I really am like a high school sophomore," Womack says of his chosen bride. "I'm in love, head over heels."

Brad Womack clearly won over at least one woman!

"So, I call and text. I'm doing the whole high school thing. I see her about once or twice a month. It's under lock and key, of course. It's not nearly enough."

"I'm a true believer in instant connections," he says. "Around our first date or so – and I'm not even saying one-on-one or group [date] – I kind of knew."

"There's no denying that I felt it very, very quickly ... Once I fall, I just know. I fall very hard, and it happened. It happened. I used every second wisely."

So who is it? We don't wanna say, but Emily Maynard seems like a strong bet.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson: The "Friendly" Dinner Date

Back in each other's lives almost by accident (or so she claims), Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have made up and are back on good terms.

Navigating her way through life after rehab, Lindsay moved next door to Ronson in Venice, Calif., causing a brief period of tension between them.

But after they made up and Sam welcomed her to the area, the two neighbors broke bread at a nearby restaurant for "a friendly dinner." Cute.

THE OLD DAZE: Might these two have a future yet?

Typical of recidivist stalkers and their victims, "Lindsay has been begging Sam to see her and Sam finally gave in," says a People source.

Just kidding. About the stalking part. They really did hang out.

Seems like it went well too. Earlier today, they Tweeted about the Knicks vs. Lakers game last night, with a little friendly trash talk thrown in.

"I think the knicks are jet lagged. they're getting sleepy right now - someone wake em up!!!" Sam wrote to her after the Lakers beat the Knicks.

N.Y. native Lohan Tweeted back to Ronson: "They played well though :)." We'll call it love at 3,941st Tweet, ladies and gentlemen.

Shawn Christy, Sarah Palin Stalker, Stokes Fears

Shawn Christy, the dude who's been legally ordered to stay away from Sarah Palin, is causing a new wave of concern in Alaska with his planned visit to the state.

Christy plans to travel to Wasilla in the hopes of removing a restraining order issued against him last year after Sarah and close friend Kristan Cole obtained it.

Palin and Cole proved he sent them threatening emails and letters.

According to TMZ, Cole is launching a preemptive strike through the courts in the hopes of blocking Shawn Christy from "dissolving" the restraining order.

Cole filed documents explaining how he has continued to harass her and her family in the past few months and why keeping the order in place is needed.

Law enforcement sources tell us Shawn, who lives in Pennsylvania, has not been seen in Alaska yet, but has already filed to remove the protective order.

Dude, do us all a favor and back off. Regardless of your views on Sarah Palin, let her live her life in peace. Threats and violence get us nowhere as a society.

Besides, if you really don't like her, ignore her. Maybe then she'll go away. Please?

Raven-Symoné Weight Loss Pics: Before & After

Raven-Symoné has lost a considerable amount of weight.

But even when showing off a svelte figure at last week's People's Choice Awards and donning a cleavage-baring top, the young actress said she never felt ashamed of her body.

"I thought I looked fabulous before and nobody else did," she told People. "So, whatever."

The former That's So Raven star says she's still getting comfortable with her figure.

"Actually, now I wear bigger clothes because I don't like the way people stare at me. I liked it before. Now, you're just looking at me for the wrong reasons. Before, you were actually looking at me for a real reason."

Either way, Justin Bieber has taken notice. He Tweeted on Friday: "Raven-Symone would you like to dance with me?"
