LeAnn Rimes-Dean Sheremet Divorce Finalized

That didn't take long. On the very same day Dean Sheremet filed for divorce from LeAnn Rimes, they agreed to a confidential divorce settlement, L.A. court records indicate. "The settlement shall not be filed in this proceeding due to the parties mutual desire to maintain their respective rights to privacy," the document reads. It presumably divides their cash, property and valuables of LeAnn Rimes and and Dean Sheremet, who will be legally single as their marital status ends. LeAnn Rimes' marriage to Dean Sheremet is no more. Their nearly eight-year marriage crumbled as Rimes began a relationship with actor Eddie Cibrian, who was married at...

Tom Cruise Sued Over Alleged Wiretapping

Michael Davis Sapir claims that actor Tom Cruise, attorney Bert Fields and infamous jailed private investigator Anthony Pellicano conspired to spy on him. He says they illegally wiretapped his phone ... why would they do that? There is a bit of history between Tom Cruise and Michael Davis Sapir. In 2001, Cruise sued Sapir for $100 million after he claimed video of Cruise "engaged in a homosexual relationship." That lawsuit settled later that year. Both parties issued a statement saying that no such tape existed. Tom Cruise is a wild man. But a spy? In the latest suit, filed Friday in L.A. County Superior Court, Sapir claims Pellicano illegally...

Brody Jenner and Jayde Nicole Break Up

The Hills' Brody Jenner and Jayde Nicole have broken up, according to a source close to Brody. He and the Playboy model were together for over a year. Of course, the two had supposedly split on The Hills season finale, but it looks like that was totally staged ... or maybe just elaborate foreshadowing. Jayde hinted at the split on Twitter: "Sometimes when you truly love someone you have to let them go. I never understood that quote until now." Deep. Just the same, Nicole reportedly "celebrated her breakup" with a 12-strong crew of girlfriends at Hyde Lounge in West Hollywood Friday night. The following night, Jayde hosted a party at Chicago's...

Long List of Meds Found in Brittany Murphy's Home

Brittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, and mother, Sharon Murphy, made a frantic attempt to revive her before paramedics arrived on Sunday morning. Notes written by an investigator from the L.A. County Coroner's office show there were a shocking number of prescription meds on the late star's nightstand. Brittany "had been complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain" for 7-10 days prior to her death from cardiac arrest two mornings ago. Murphy went into the bathroom around 7:30 a.m. Half an hour later, Brittany's mother, Sharon Murphy, went to check on her daughter, opened the bathroom door and found her on the floor unresponsive....

Kim Kardashian Sexes Up Salad

In a new commercial for Carl's Jr., Kim Kardashian doesn't just make friends with salad. She makes friends with benefits with salad! The reality TV star is featured in a new spot that makes no secret about how the company is trying to sell its products: via unadulterated sex appeal. "I'm such a neat freak. Everything's got to be clean, crisp and tasty," Kim says, while eating a salad, below. "And while the best things in life are messy, it's fun to get clean." She then immerses her naked self in a bubble bath. Watch the commercial and ask yourself: Does it make you hungry to eat food or... something else? Carl's Jr. Commercial Carl's Jr. is known for its burgers and chili-cheese fries and is now trying to join the country's growing health trend. In the past, the chain has used Paris Hilton,...

Carrie Underwood Shows Off Engagement Ring

In case there were doubts about Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood getting engaged, this photo taken at last night's NHL game in Ottawa should clear 'em up. While the Senators forward tangled with the Boston Bruins on the ice, the country star showed off her ice in the stands... and it appears Mike did a heck of a job. That thing is practically the size of a hockey puck! Well, not really, but what we're trying to say is that it's big. And we can't think up many good hockey puns. Asked about the engagement again last night, Fisher wouldn't give away any details, saying only that it's true, and that "we're both excited and very happy." The Sens lost...

Bo Obama Pics: First Dog Romps in Snow

It's kind of a slow news day at THG. It's also nice to take a break from sad stories like Brittany Murphy's death and juicy scandals like Tiger Woods' drama and focus on something simple. Something nice. And what could be nicer than this: First Dog Bo Obama takes in his wintry White House surroundings. After a record-setting blizzard blanketed Washington, D.C., in a foot and a half of snow, residents struggled with the logistical and travel hassles that ensued. Well, most residents. For Bo the Portuguese Water Dog, it was a chance for some good old-fashioned play time on the snow-covered White House groun...

Beyonce or Eva Longoria: Who Would You Rather (Smell Like)...

If you thought deciding between Beyonce nude and Eva Longoria nude was difficult, try to determine which of these beauties you'd rather smell like. This seemingly odd question is relevant because the stars are the latest in a long line of celebrities to somehow think being famous means you have an idea of how to create a perfume. In February, for example, Beyonce Heat hits shelves. The singer says she played a key role in its formation: “From the bottle design to the name and the ideas for the commercials — that’s me. When I commit to something, I do it 100 percent, and I’ve never had [creative control over a fragrance] until this...

Stephanie Pratt Regains Drivers License, Clothing

Clear the road. Stephanie Pratt will be back on it shortly. Less than two months after being charged with DUI, The Hills star has had her license reinstated. That's good news for her, but bad for the rest of us. Looks like she recovered more than just her driving rights, too. Stephanie apparently found the clothing she lost in those racy Maxim pictures we posted last week. Good Lordy. Who knew Spencer's lil' sis had that in her. Stephanie Pratt celebrates reinstatement of her driving privileges. We imagine other Southern California motorists aren't as happy. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]...

Jamie Jungers Grilled Over Tiger Woods Nude Pics

As she continues to make the media rounds dishing about her affair with Tiger Woods, mistress Jamie Jungers was caught in a bit of a lie Monday morning. During a radio interview with John & Ken on KFI 640 in Los Angeles, she was questioned about taking photos of Tiger Woods nude. Jungers grew furious. She denied having any nude photos of Tiger, but her aunt, Susan Minor, recently said in her own interview that Jamie Jungers did - and bragged about it. "My aunt? I don't believe she said that," Jungers said, before the radio hosts pointed out that they just watched Minor's interview on RadarOnline.com. Jungers grew angry and then called her...

Michael Jackson FBI Files Released; Death Threats, Bizarre Details of Molestation Probe Exposed

The FBI has released more than 300 pages of documents relating to Michael Jackson, and while they do not provide new insight into his June 2009 death, the information contained still raises eyebrows, and is just as bizarre as you'd expect. The formerly classified material includes info regarding his 1993 and 2004 child molestation cases, as well as an extortion case where he was a victim. Despite an application under the Freedom of Information Act, half his file remains secret. What is available, however, provides no shortage of material. In 2004, local police in Santa Maria, Calif., requested FBI involvement believing the court proceedings against...

Miley Cyrus Breaks British Records

Note to Miley Cyrus: you should move to England. We don't offer this advice because we find you incredibly grating and self-serving. No way. That's not the reason at all. It's just evident that you're wildly popular overseas, as you performed in front of the largest crowd ever at London's 02 arena earlier this month. The singer played to 16,196 fans on the third of her five concerts in the area. She previously sold out 10 UK dates for her "Wonder World" tour in a mere 10 minutes. Even the THG staff had to admit that Cyrus' British rendition of "Party in the USA" was entertaining. We'd be happy to help her pack her bags for the move. Seriously,...

Kristen Stewart Tries, Fails to Speak with a Southern Accent

Kristen Stewart does many things well: pout, fall for vampires, make love to Robert Pattinson. Heck, she's not even a terrible singer. The actress may wanna avoid accents in the future, however. The following clip is courtesy of some movie titled The Yellow Hankerchief, whose release has been delayed numerous times due to poor reviews and production. While Stewart's attempt at speaking with a southern accent isn't directly to blame, it doesn't exactly help, either. See, and hear, for yourself: The Yellow Handkerchief Clip...

Simon Monjack Defends Brittany Murphy, Himself

Given his semi-shady reputation and that relatively little is known about him in general, Brittany Murphy's husband Simon Monjack has come under scrutiny. Such is the nature of celebrity deaths in general, too, especially when someone as young as Murphy (32) dies of cardiac arrest. Fans want answers. Monjack is hitting back at rumors regarding his wife's passing, however, insisting she did not overdose on drugs and did not have an eating disorder. "These rumors that she was anorexic? It's crazy. She was slim, but that was her natural physique," Monjack says, adding that he wants answers too. "This is what's killing all of us. How did it happen?...

Jennifer Hudson: Pregnant Again!

Another round of congratulations is due for Jennifer Hudson and fiance David Otunga. Star magazine reports the pair is expecting another child, just four months after Hudson gave birth to her first son. Man, that singer's womb is working harder than over 14% of the population in the state of Michigan! Crude jokes aside, friends say this pregnancy wasn't planned. “Jennifer was in total shock when she found out she was having another baby,” said a source. “She had wanted some space between the kids’ ages.” Jennifer Hudson's newborn will not lack for a good meal... if you know what we mean! Despite the shock, Hudson and Otunga are treating the...

Report: Tiger Woods to Check Into Rehab For Sex, Prescription Drug Addiction After Holidays

After the holidays, Tiger Woods will check himself into rehab to seek treatment for addiction and prescription drug use, according to The National Enquirer. We know, we know. You're not inclined to believe the Enquirer. But you didn't believe their story about Rachel Uchitel at first either, did you? Just saying. The disgraced golfing great agreed to get help at an Arizona clinic after spending the Christmas holiday with pals as part of a deal struck with wife Elin. He's been fighting hard to save his marriage. She is reportedly off to Sweden with their two children for the holidays, but she hasn't left him ... yet. "Elin gave Tiger an ultimatum:...

OMG: Angelina Jolie Planning "Revenge Pregnancy"

Angelina Jolie is totally planning a "revenge pregnancy." We have no idea what that means, but In Touch Weekly reported it, so we're pretty sure it's legit. We take this to mean that she's gotten over her recent suicide attempt and is ready to get down to the business of procreating ... and trapping Brad Pitt! After all, if we are to believe this In Touch story, Brad and Jennifer Aniston just had their most “heartfelt” meeting ever ... if you know what they mean. We're not even sure they know what they mean, actually, but Angelina feels she must take drastic action to keep him. That entails ... pulling the goalie? It remains to be seen how far...

Chris Harrison: Jake Pavelka is Husband Material

The 14th season of The Bachelor begins January 4, and when it does, people may find Jake Pavelka to be the most desirable star in the show's history. We say this because: People say that every seasonNot only does Jake possess dashing good looks, but if you watched The Bachelorette, you know there's no nicer, sweeter, more genuine fella. Well, minus the part where he ratted out Wes Hayden - ostensibly to protect Jillian Harris, but likely to extend his tenure another week. But no matter. "He's truly the Southern gentleman, but not in an annoying way," The Bachelor host-pimp Chris Harrison says. "Women see him as husband material." Jake Pavelka:...

Reggie Bush Proposal: Denied by Kourtney Kardashian!

When Reggie Bush lines up across from linebacker Brian Urlacher on Sundays, he has no fear. But place the NFL star next to a hormone-laden Kourtney Kardashian, days after she gave birth, and the running back cowers in trepidation. Such was the case last week, according to sources that claim Bush was set to finally propose to Kim Kardashian - until an irate Kourtney stepped in and threw a fit over the possibility that this engagement news would overshadow her status as a new mother. "Kourtney screamed at Reggie, 'You can't do this to me!'" a family friend told The National Enquirer. "Kourtney is extremely hormonal right now, and her emotions...

Balloon Boy Hoax Fines at $42K and Climbing

The parents who orchestrated the Balloon Boy hoax were hit with a tab of $42,000 from local, state and federal agencies for their October, national TV stunt. There may be more where that came from, too. But the Heenes' attorney, David Lane, told the Denver Post the Fort Collins, Colo., couple isn't ready to pay. "Let's see the bills," he said, adding that he was e-mailed the amounts by the Larimer County D.A.'s office. "They're not paying until they see some receipts." The Heenes reached a plea deal on charges stemming from the hoax, in which they led the world to believe their son was on board a homemade balloon. Unfortunately, they avoided...

Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Jerry Ferrera: It's Over!

The shocking relationship betwen Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Jerry Ferrera is over. After more than a year of dating, the couple - who met when Sigler guest-starred on Entourage as Ferrera's character's girlfriend - has reportedly parted ways. Sigler attended last week's premiere of It's Complicated by herself, and a friend says the actress has actually turned to Lance Bass for a shoulder to lean on. "Lance is a really good friend to Jamie," the source told The New York Daily News. "He's been helping her out and giving her good advice." While Sigler wasn't thrilled about the split, the insider says she's doing okay. "It came at a good time for Jamie-Lynn....

Lynne Curtin: A Wanted Woman

The face on Lynne Curtin? Not real. The situations she and her castmates on The Real Housewives of Orange County find themselves in? Also not real. The legal problems now facing Curtin and husband Frank? Very real. The pair were scheduled to appear in a California courtroom yesterday to answer questions regarding a $1.2 million judgment they've been ordered to pay to a former business partner... but the couple simply bailed on the proceedings. As a result, TMZ reports a judge has issued a bench warrant for Lynne and Frank's arrest. Unlike the ridiculous exploits on Curtin's scripted reality show, this is actually a serious matter. In August,...

TMZ Sports: Coming Soon

Women throughout America - at least those that don't work as cocktail waitresses in Las Vegas - already hate Tiger Woods. It sounds like professional athletes will soon feel the same way. According to various sources, Warner Brothers has registered TMZSports.com, a sports-themed domain meant to serve as complement to its popular celebrity gossip website. Insiders say this spin-off was planned long before Woods - and his wayward driver - made it clear just how much the public is interested in the private lives of sports stars. But it's safe to assume Tiger's nine-inch iron play helped speed along the decision. Meanwhile, that sound you hear?...

Charlie Sheen: Arrested for Assault

He may be best known for starring in Two and a Half Men, but Charlie Sheen now has one giant problem on his hands. The actor has been arrested for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief. Sheen was picked up in Aspen for an alleged incident of domestic violence against wife Brook Mueller. While the police may claim Sheen celebrated Christmas by honoring Chris Brown, his rep says otherwise: "Do not be mislead by appearance. Appearance and reality can be as different as night and day. It would benefit everyone not to jump to any conclusion." Sheen - who has been accused of sleeping with hookers, beating up dogs and keeping pornography...
