JWoww Turned Down $400,000 Playboy Offer

While I do believe that Playboy made an real offer to Jersey Shore’s JWoww…I have a hard time believing she would walk away from nearly half a million dollars. So maybe she’s exaggerating just a tiny bit.

Anyway…she says she turned it down because she’s got some better things going on. It’s been confirmed that she has moved in with Snooki and it’s pretty much known that they’ve got their own spinoff. But why not use the Playboy opportunity to promote herself and the new show?

“I am not going to do Playboy in the near future,” she told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Wednesday. “There is a better opportunity out there, which everybody will probably see soon.”




Katy Perry Gets Indian Bridal Nose Ring For Her Wedding

Katy Perry will be marrying Russell Brand this weekend wearing a traditional Indian bridal nose ring called a nath.

Homegirl is fully embracing Indian tradition. These are going to be celebrity wedding pictures that I actually want to see.

The nath comprises of a gold chain attached to a nose ring which is hooked across the bride’s right cheek and pinned to her hair above the ear.

Tradition dictates the bride’s will wear the nath throughout the wedding day, with the bridegroom removing it on the wedding night as a symbol of the woman’s virginity ending. Insert your own “he’s too late for late” joke here.



Lindsay Lohan Nude Motorcyle Pictures

Photographer Harvey Edwards has released a few pictures from his book Celebrities and their Motorcyles and they are of a nude Lindsay Lohan. You can’t see her face and she seems to be missing a few tattoos..but that’s easy enough to touch up.

Edwards says of Lindsay, “She was truly wonderful to work with, a true professional and extremely talented artist”

See the rest of the nude pictures after the jump.




Pamela Anderson Lands Her 11th Playboy Cover

Wasn’t it just a few months ago that Pamela Anderson was whining about how her kids are mocked and ridiculed because of all her countless nude pictures and sex tapes? I guess they got over it because she is gracing the cover of Playboy’s January 2011 issue. It’s a done deal.

The “Baywatch” bombshell landed her first Playboy cover way back in 1989, and was named Playmate of the year in 1990. And now, 20 years later, Anderson is baring all again for the January 2011 issue, cavorting naked in a pool as an homage to Ekberg’s infamous scene in Rome, Italy’s Trevi Fountain with Marcello Mastroianni in the 1960 movie classic.

On his Twitter.com page, Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner writes, “Pamela Anderson is in the (Playboy) Mansion swimming pool, posing for the January cover in a tribute to ‘La Dolce Vita.’”

When will Pam (and Hugh and the men of the world) decide she is too old to get naked for the masses? Pam will be 43 when the magazine is published. It’s been three years since she last posed for Hugh and co..it’ll be interesting to see how she’s holding up.



Major Progress: TJ Lavin Talking, Breathing on Own

Great news today out of the camp of TJ Lavin: the BMX star, who was placed in a medically-induced coma following a terrible crash on October 14, is speaking and breathing on his own.

"He's answering questions," friend and business partner Chas Aday told People. "He'll say 'yes' a little bit and he knows where he is, but he's not opening his eyes yet."

Lavin, TJ

This is considered major progress for the host of MTV's The Challenge, who has been in the trauma unit of a Las Vegas hospital for over a week.

Aday says his friend will need rehab to "get back to normal," but doctors don't expect there to be any resulting bran damage from the accident. Their next step will to perform surgery on his broken wrist.

"We're waiting on the orthopedic surgeon on when they're going to do that," Aday says. "Then we'll see when he'll be [released]. He may be there another week."

Matt Damon, Wife Luciana Welcome Baby Girl!

Say a prayer for Matt Damon today. Guy now has four daughters!

That's gonna be real fun in about a decade, Matt. Just saying, good luck to you! We kid ... mostly. He and wife Luciana welcomed #4 this week in New York.

Stella Zavala Damon was born on Wednesday!

Matt and Luciana Damon have their hands full!

All is well on the home front, too: "Mom and baby are both healthy," a representative for the Hereafter star said this weekend. "The whole family is thrilled."

Matt, 40, and Luciana, 35, wed in 2005 and have two children – Isabella, 4, and Gia, 2. Luciana also has a daughter, Alexia, from a previous marriage.

Congratulations to both on the new addition to the family!

Katy Perry and Russell Brand: Married!

Russell Brand and Katy Perry tied the knot Saturday night in India.

The couple "were pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Brand on Saturday, October 23," they said after marrying in a private ceremony attended by close family and friends and performed by a Christian minister and longtime friend of Katy's family.

We couldn't be happier for the two of them.

Katy Perry is now Mrs. Russell Brand!

Katy Perry and Russell Brand exchanged wedding vows at a luxury resort, with the backdrop "the inspirational and majestic countryside of Northern India."

In the days leading up to the nuptials (which you can follow this link to read all about), Brand and Perry have been pulling out all the stops for their guests.

It sounds like the result was a near-perfect event. Despite the lavishness of certain aspects of the wedding, Russell said it was all about keeping it simple.

"We just love each other and we want to get married in front of our friends and family and keep it very normal," said Brand earlier this month." It ain't about selling the pictures, it ain't about doing no pre-nup, it's just a normal thing."

"I'm trying to preserve it, to keep it beautiful," the Get Him to the Greek star said. "Love between two people is the most spectacular, yet ordinary thing in the world."

We're glad they found it with each other. Congratulations!

Celine Dion, Rene Angelil Welcome Twin Boys!

After a long and often heartbreaking journey, Celine Dion is finally a mom again – times two! The singer gave birth to twin boys on Saturday in Florida!

"Celine, René and their son René-Charles are thrilled," says her rep, adding that the babies weighed in at 5 lbs., 4 oz., and 5 lbs., 10 oz., respectively.

Dion's doctor, Ronald Ackerman, said at a press conference outside the hospital Friday evening that the delivery, done via C-section, went as expected.

Celine Dion, Husband

Celine Dion and Rene Angelil are finally parents again.

The twins are healthy, says Dion's rep, but will nevertheless spend the next couple of days in an incubator because they were born prematurely. Celine was hospitalized as a precautionary measure last week, leading up to the birth.

"Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up," the rep adds, noting that their other son is thrilled. "René-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers and is so excited they are here."

Congratulations to the happy family!

Randy and Evi Quaid: Arrested, Seeking Refugee Status in Canada

Actor Randy Quaid and his insane wife Evi are definitely living in their own world, but it's an entertaining one for us to catch a glimpse of from time to time.

Wanted by authorities in California, the fugitives were arrested Friday in Vancouver. They want to stay in Canada as refugees. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Randy and Evi Quaid say they are being persecuted south of the border.

Evi Quaid MugshotRandy Quaid Mugshot

REFUGEES: That's what the Quaids aspire to be now.

Evi Quaid pleaded for a Canadian immigration adjudicator not to return them to the U.S. She said her husband's friends, such as David Carradine and Heath Ledger, have died under suspicious circumstances and worries Randy will be next.

We are not making this up.

"We feel our lives are in danger," she said, complaining of high blood pressure and adding that Randy Quaid's mother is in hospital due to stress over all this.

Monday, California officials issued arrest warrants for Randy, 60, and Evi, 47, after they failed to appear in court for allegedly squatting in a home illegally.

The Quaids previous owned the house in Montecito, Calif. Both face felony vandalism charges for breaking into and living in the property's guest house.

Local authorities said the couple caused more than $5,000 in damage, including smashing a $7,000 mirror. Then they failed to show in court, of course.

This nonsense followed an unrelated, but similarly absurd case last year in which the Quaids stayed in a California B&B and skipped out without paying (then were no-shows in court and had to be hunted down by authorities as well).

Celebrity bounty hunter Duane Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter) issued a public challenge to the couple Thursday, urging them to turn themselves in.

Otherwise, he's comin' after them himself!

"At least do it for your wife and for how you were raised. If not, well, the Chapman family is coming after you," the bounty hunter said on Lopez Tonight.

How much would you pay to see that on TV?!

NeNe Leakes Plastic Sugery Pics: Before & After

NeNe Leakes is a new woman. Literally.

The Real Housewife of Atlanta admitted this week that she sat through extensive plastic surgery operations in April, receiving a nose job, a breast implant reduction, a breast lift and lipo around her waist.

"I still wanted to look like NeNe, the black woman that I am, but a better version," Leakes said of the procedures, which still leaves her seven short of the number Heidi Montag has undergone.

Compare the old NeNe with the new NeNe below and chime in: Which do you prefer?

Jersey Shore Season Finale Recap: Adios, Miami

After some skirmishes but a lack of fireworks, the second season of Jersey Shore went out with a thud. Not really a bang. Pauly D didn't even try to get it in!

There was a trip to the swamp, a feud between friends, a last hurrah at the club, and a great line or two, but "Back Into the Fold" was more filler than finale.

Below, THG breaks down the top Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from last night's Season 2 finale in its patented +/- recap. Aww yeah, last recap YEAH!!

At the Glades

They really dragged this season of Jersey Shore out.

The gang heads to the Everglades. MTV is really milking the Florida thing. Minus 5.

Sitch scares JWoww with his frog legs. We mean actual dismembered frog parts, not his own legs, which are frog-like compared to that HGH-enhanced chest. Plus 4.

The restroom tryst starring the Situation during the last night at the club might have set the sanitary bar lower than ever. Not a small feat for Jersey Shore. Minus 6.

After two mediocre, Jon Gosselin-caliber girls approach Vinny about a threesome, he breaks it down as such: "Okay, they're not the prettiest girls in the world, but mix two grenades and it might make one good-looking girl." Plus 11.

Sam: "I like to be with my boyfriend at all times. Do you get that?" Scary. Minus 3.

Pauly D: "I'm not going to smash it out with Rocio before I leave. Umm, it's not that kind of chick. I don't need to." No, it is definitely not that kind of chick. Wash.

Pauly D and JWoww Fight

Pauly D is right. Youse are all f*%kin' nuts man.

The Situation brings the drama in the second half of the episode, bagging on people for no reason and acting like he's the $h!t. Dude, it's getting a tad old. Minus 10.

After JWoww calls him fake, Sitch says she's fake. Pauly appears to nod. Snooki takes this as an insult and tells her BFF, who confronts Pauly. So high school. Plus 2.

This whole thing gets a Minus 3 overall, because while we always can respect things getting heated, it's cliched at this point, and all stems from Mike being a prick.

At the club, Sammi asks Ron, "Why are you with me?" "I'm in love with you," he says. "Why? I can't help the way I feel." Basically, Ron-Ron's better judgment might say otherwise, but a girl who will put up with anything is hard to find. Plus 8.

JWoww and Mike

Snooki weeps as the cast says its goodbyes for like a few weeks.

Frightened, Snooki storms off in tears, believing everyone hates her now, and starts pack her bags to leave ... which she was going to do anyway. Plus 5.

Mike, good guy he is, explains to Snooki that everyone loves her and no one has any hatred towards her. Unless he wants to leave the club first. Minus 3.

With Mike scooping her up over his shoulders, Snooki's coo-ca shows for the 100th time, hugs are exchanged, and fences are mended. Mostly. Hey, we have to have the tension lingering when things move back to Jersey this winter. Plus 10.

Until Season Three begins ...

TOTAL: +10. SEASON TOTAL: +143.

Trouble for Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett?

Like millions of men around the country, Hank Baskett can't hold down a job.

But it's not due to the economy or any corporate downsizing. The guy just isn't very good at football.

Kendra Logo

As a result of Baskett changing NFL teams often, there is reportedly stress in the marriage between him and Kendra Wilkinson. That's what happens when reality show cameras must worry about which city they'll be filming in from month to month.

It happens to all relationships, right?

According to Hollywood Life sources, the couple is going through a lot these days. Most notably: stuff and things.

“Kendra’s moved four times in four months [and] her kid is going through stuff," says an insider, adding she and Hank “are embarrassed they are going through things.”

Season three of the pair's E! reality show is scheduled to premiere next month, meaning Baskett's floundering football career has at least one bright side: it will make for interesting, televised relationship drama.

Jesse James & Kat Von D Break Up; L.A. Ink Star Reconciles With Nikki Sixx, Feuds With TLC

As we hinted earlier this week, Jesse James and Kat Von D were having problems. Now it looks like those problems have led to a full-blown breakup.

Blame Nikki Sixx and plain old geography. Long distance NEVER works.

Here's the latest: Kat Von D, the heavily-tattooed L.A. Ink star, dumped JJ and went back to Motley Crue rocker Sixx, her ex. She and Jesse were fizzling, so that's not shocking. What is surprising is the feud between Kat and ... TLC.

Kat Von D and Nikki Sixx PicJesse and Kat

For Kat Von D, it's out with the old, in with ... the older.

While filming the current season of L.A. Ink, Kat was dating Jesse James and during that courtship, producers shot footage of her trash talking ex Nikki.

They even went as far as editing an episode, which featured a "Nikki vs. Jesse" theme, posing a potentially awkward sitch for Kat. Her solution? SUE!

According to reports, Kat's "freaked out" and demanding producers cut the footage, lest she take legal action and halt Ink's production immediately.

How bad was her trash talking? We'll never know, since Kat got her way and the material was nixed! Too bad, that would have been really awkward.

In any case, Jesse's out, Nikki's in. You may now return to your lives.
