The Situation: A Former Stripper

Mike Sorrentino is known as The Situation on Jersey Shore. He is also known as the guy who refers to himself in the third person (by his nickname no less) and walks around with no shirt pretty much constantly. Well, before The Situation became a Jersey Shore cast member, the dude was used to situations in which he wore no shirt ... or pants for that matter. We're saying he was a stripper. Mike Sorrentino (left) entertains at a bachelorette party. According to TMZ, which unearthed classic pics of The Sitch, he was a member of the "All American Male" exotic dancer crew back before MTV stardom. Mike Sorrentino worked for the group, which gyrates...

Guess her rumored boyfriend is no longer rumored. Kate Walsh walked hand-in-hand with her new man Neil Andrea during a shopping excursion in Los Angeles over the weekend. And that wasn't all.

Try public display of ... forget it. Neil Andrea has a happy girlfriend in Kate Walsh.

Following rumors that she and frenemy Kim Zolciak might be fired from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes is finally addressing the chatter. She told Sister2Sister Magazine that she hasn't heard anything negative about her status on the Bravo series and: "This is all I can tell you. Every housewife has been invited back."

Tiger Woods' Father: Marriage is Unnecessary

Sunday's New York Times featured several articles on Tiger Woods. The most interesting one centered on Tiger's relationship with his kids - and his dad Earl. Karen Crouse recalls how at the Masters tournament in April, Tiger was warmer than usual, talking about how he loved being at home with his two children. The writer then cites a quote from Earl Woods, who died in 2006, in which he said, "I've told Tiger marriage is unnecessary in a mobile society like ours." Tiger's father left his first wife (and three children) for Tiger's mom. It seemed the younger Woods was proving his father wrong ... but apparently not. Such a statement from Earl Woods...

Janice Dickinson is Such a Loser

Janice Dickinson needs to get a room. And a life. The attention-starved former model, who has made headlines in the past for claiming she murdered her father, has resorted to Speidi-like tactics in order to be photographed by the paparazzi. Over the weekend, Dickinson and her boyfriend were standing outside Barney's in Los Angeles. Upon spotting a photographer, Janice simulated oral sex on her man and then stuck her tongue in his mouth for all to see. It was a gruesome scene. [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] At least the washed-up D-lister didn't ramble drunkenly against the cameraman this time. She's been known to do so in the past, while...

Hailey Glassman Questioned By Cops; Jon Gosselin's Lawyer Says She's Going to Jail

The NYPD has questioned Jon Gosselin's ex, Hailey Glassman, about burglarizing Jon's apartment, according to reports. No charges have been filed ... yet. Glassman, accompanied by her attorney, was questioned last night. The note that was left behind (with a knife) when someone ransacked Jon's apartment was signed with Glassman's name. Of course, anyone could have written it. Jon is called a "cheater" in the note, which was stuck to Jon's bedroom dresser, but there's no reference within the note to the raging destruction of Jon's NYC pad. The NYPD fingerprinted the scene, but since Hailey Glassman used to live in the apartment with Jon until last...

Ivana Trump Yells at Kids, Gets Kicked Off Flight

Ivana Trump, the first ex-wife of the Donald, was escorted by sheriff's deputies off a flight Saturday in Palm Beach, Fla., after she screamed and cursed at kids. Trump was seated in first class and apparently became irate as children were ran up and down the aisle screaming, Palm Beach County sheriff's officials report. Flight attendants on the NYC-bound Delta flight told deputies that they tried to calm the visibly upset Trump by offering her another seat and headphones. She instead became more belligerent. The plane was just leaving the gate when the incident occurred, and things got so bad the pilot decided to pull back to the gate and call...

Angelina Jolie Will Totally Kick Brad Pitt's Ass, But Thinks Fidelity is "Not Essential"

Despite settling down with Brad Pitt for the past four years, Angelina Jolie (supposedly) says she doesn't think monogamy is required for a healthy relationship. "I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship," Germany's Das Neue magazine quotes the outspoken, possibly unstable mother of six as saying. "It's worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards." The 34-year-old, who often denied sleeping with Pitt when he was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston, said this freedom applies to all aspects of their lives. "Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together,"...

Tyra Banks Announces End to Her Talk Show

Note to Tyra Banks: if you're trying to dispel the notion that you wanna be the next Oprah Winfrey, you're going about it all wrong. (Also, you really suck.) Just like Winfrey did last month, Banks has announced the upcoming end of her talk show. She told People magazine today: “This will be the last season of The Tyra Show. I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past five years.” The self-serving gabfest - which Banks used as a vehicle to make a name for herself and draw attention to supposedly controversial issues such as vagina care - will come to an end in the fall of 2010. After leaving...

Adam Senn Receives Lohan Stamp of Misguided Approval

According to reports, both Dina Lohan and Michael Lohan approve of Adam Senn. Based on their history of decision-making, that doesn't say anything good about the model. Senn, a former star on MTV's The City, is Lindsay Lohan's latest sex toy. The pair attended Ali Lohan's 16th birthday party together last week, where witnesses spotted them cuddling, smiling and actually not snorting cocaine.

Russell Brand and Katy Perry Might Be Engaged

He's a notorious ladies' man; they just started dating in October; and no named sources have gone on record with confirmation of their engagement. For those reasons, we're hesitant to officially announce that Russell Brand and Katy Perry have agreed to marry - but that's exactly what Great Britain's The Daily Mirror is reporting. “Russell knows Katy’s the one for him," an insider told the newspaper, saying Brand popped the question during a pre-Christmas ski trip. “He’s never been into a girl like he has with her and they’re besotted. He asked her to marry him last week and she quickly said yes." Brand and Perry will tie the knot in 2010, the...

Chris Golightly: American Idol Hopeful

So it begins. While we're still two weeks away from the January 12 premiere of American Idol, THG has uncovered an early contestant to keep an eye on: Chris Golightly. The Justin Guarini (and Sideshow Bob) lookalike is featured in a new commercial for season nine. We can confirm that he receives a golden ticket to Hollywood and that he has a great voice. Why else might Golightly advance far on Idol? Two words: great backstory. The singer refers to himself as "Orphan" because, well, he actually is one. Golightly says he was raised in various foster homes and turned to music when he was six because he could tell his story through singing. Might that story conclude with an American Idol title? It's a tad early to know for sure, but check out snippets of his audition below... ...

Someone is Actually Dating Jaimee Grubbs

Note to random, thirtysomething dude dating Jaimee Grubbs: don't leave her any voicemails. According to sources, the woman that truly exposed Tiger Woods as a cheater (by playing his shady message on her phone for all to hear) has found a new boyfriend. He's a bartender in Los Angeles that also sells snowboarding equipment. "They have been hanging out as friends for about a month, and she's been staying at his place for the last two weeks," an insider tells E! News. "But they didn't become an official couple until a few days ago when she referred to him as her 'boyfriend.'" That's an improvement over what she allegedly referred to Woods as: her...

Movie Director Tried to Warn Brittany Murphy About Simon Monjack

Brittany Murphy may have been buried on Christmas Eve, but husband Simon Monjack still can't rest in peace. That's because new sources and reports continue to link Monjack to credit card fraud, mounting debt and visa violations, among other shady charges. The fact that he won't shut up raises a few questions for many, as well. Take George Hickenlooper, for example. The director, who was close to Murphy and almost cast her in the role of Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl, said he approached the actress about her plans to marry the British screenwriter. He advised against it. "The last thing I told Brittany is: “Do you know this guy? I mean do you...

She's not a suspect. She has not been arrested," Stephanie Ovadia...

Spotted Partying: Tiger Woods & Rachel Uchitel?!

This is getting ridiculous. We know Rachel Uchitel has been spending time lately in Palm Beach, Florida. We know Tiger Woods' yacht is docked in Palm Beach, Florida. We know someone supposedly spotted them together around said boat on December 23. All circumstantial evidence or hearsay, to be sure. But now Entertainment Tonight claims Tiger, who's gone AWOL since wrecking his car and reputation last month, was partying there last night - with mistress #1 in tow. Not that ET is gospel by any means, but we honestly wouldn't put this past Tiger, no matter how hard he is supposedly working to salvage his shattered marriage. Is Rachel Uchitel still...

Another Bachelor Shocker: Contestant Cheats on Jake Pavelka... with Crew Member!

This season of The Bachelor is sub-titled: On the Wings of Love. Perhaps, however, it should be referred to as The Bachelor: Bumpy Skies Ahead!

Report: Britney Spears Had an Abortion

She's shaved her head, flashed her crotch and married her high school friend during a drunken night in Las Vegas. But there's one Britney Spears scandal that the press has been in the dark about... until now, if you believe The National Enquirer. The supermarket tabloid reports Spears reunited with ex-husband Kevin Federline two years ago. He allegedly knocked her up, only to deny being the father when confronted with the pregnancy, and Spears went through with an abortion as a result. Moreover, she's still dealing with the repercussions of that decision. During a recent meltdown, a source told the newspaper Britney cried "I killed my baby!”...
