Crazy Good: Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta Reunite on Stage

While Andrew Garcia, Lilly Scott and other early favorites battle it out on American Idol, a trio of season eight finalists took to the stage Friday night and reminded this group how far they still have to go.

Kris Allen, Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta all took part in Ryan Seacrest's "Rock My Town" show at Manhattan's Highline Ballroom.

The singers played individual sets, much to the delight of those in attendance, and then closed the show with a three-part rendition of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy." It's an absolute must-watch for fans of these artists...


Idol Trio

Tila Tequila Twitter Ticker: The Miscarriage Begins...

Next thing you know, Heidi Montag will say her breasts are fake and Jon Gosselin will admit he cares more about attention than his children...

In a development only anyone with a pulse could have seen coming, Tila Tequila has insinuated that she's having a miscarriage.

THG predicted the demise of her fake child in late January, as we asked readers to name the date on which the troubled bisexual would start to Tweet about losing her "baby." Who had February 15 in their office pool?

Earlier today, Tila left multiple messages that implied she was on the verge of suicide due to miscarrying her fetus. Neither of these events are joking matters, but this is Tila Tequila. Nothing is off limits if it extends your 15 minutes in the spotlight another second or two...

Miscarriage Tweet

** UPDATE: Tila will not be killing herself. The reason?

She has "been APPROVED to adopt my own baby boy 2-3 years old from RUSSIA!!! I will be his Mommy by the end of the year!!"

If this were remotely true, we'd make some joke about it being the worst Russian idea since Communism. Instead, we'll ask readers to start a new pool: When will this adoption "fall through" for Tila?

Michael Lohan & Kate Major: Moving to L.A., Filming Reality Show

Just when you thought you'd heard everything, Michael Lohan and girlfriend Kate Major are moving from New York to Los Angeles together. There's more too:
  • Kate Major and Michael Lohan are taking a bus to L.A.
  • They're filming a reality show to document the journey!

Lohan says he is hoping to get some of his "celebrity" pals to join him and participate in different charity fundraisers (i.e. PR opportunities) along the way.

M-Lo explains: “We’re calling the show Crossing Borders because not only will we be crossing physical borders state to state, but moral borders as well."

Deep.

Michael Lohan and Kate Major

Two people who definitely need their own show.

"While each celebrity offers something different, each city will bring something new and different. Each celebrity sees him/herself as a good person. Viewers will see that we all try our best, but sometimes cross the borders of right and wrong."

This guy ought to teach philosophy.

No word on when:

  • Lindsay Lohan will file the paperwork seeking a preemptive restraining order in anticipation of her deadbeat dad moving to the same city.
  • Kate Major will discuss Jon Gosselin's penis size.

Source: Jennifer Aniston, Gerard Butler Just Friends

They've been seen and romantically linked together a lot lately, but multiple sources say Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler's supposed romance does not exist.

You mean this was just a rumor sparked by them being in a movie together? Shocking. The moral of the story? Don't believe every piece of celebrity gossip.

Unless it's from THG, that is. Even if it's a report that can't be trusted but will still entertain you, we make that abundantly clear. We're not OK! with slander.

The Bounty Hunter stars supposedly went on a romantic getaway in Cabo last week to commemorate Jennifer's 41st birthday. That was true ... sans romance.

All of Jen's buddies, including Sheryl Crow and Courteney Cox Arquette, joined her. Gerard did get an invite, but it was more PR-related than love connection.

Jennifer Aniston, Gerard Butler Picture

Jennifer Aniston is ready to rock Gerard Butler's world ... on screen.

"Jennifer goes to Mexico every year with her girlfriends for her birthday and this year she decided to invite Gerry along for a bit of fun, too," says an insider.

"She doesn't mind that rumors spread like wildfire. Jen likes Gerard being around, he's funny, always cracks jokes and he loves partaking in the cocktails."

"The other girls don't mind having him around at all. He's a fun, hilarious addition to their vacation. They are friends. They get along great. But that's it."

"Gerry is single and always on the prowl. He's enjoying his Hollywood bachelor lifestyle so much that even Jennifer Aniston can't get him to give it up."

As for rumors that they were kissing at the Golden Globes? "They were not making out!" a Fox snitch said. "They play around, but there is no kissing."

Too bad. They may a hot couple, don't you think?

Heather Mills: An Incredible Humanitarian

We should all be more like Heather Mills.

No, we shouldn't marry rich, whine about a $50 million divorce settlement and generally come across as all that's wrong and spoiled about the world.

But we should dedicate a chunk of our time and resources to charitable causes, as Paul McCarney's ex claims to have done with her oversized bank account.

"Most of it's been given to charity, gone into ethical businesses or paid for a couple of properties for my daughter's future security," she said this week. "I could never sit with millions of pounds in the bank that could make matters change."

Heather M.

This story doesn't exactly jibe with other reports on why Mills is nearly broke. Sources have said she spent $2 million on a pool for her home in Englad, for example. (Man, we gotta see that pool!)

If you actually believe Heather is out of money because she spent it all on other people, you must also feel terrible for Tila Tequila and her miscarriage.

More Nicole Polizzi Nude Pics Supposedly For Sale

Snooki nude.

It's something you wanna see (at least we hope not, for your sake), but something we're seeing stories about all the time. Pretty bizarre if you ask us.

Following the leak of an alleged Snooki nude picture last week come reports of more supposed shots of Nicole Polizzi naked being released and sold.

The lovable Jersey Shore cast member has denied the existence of naked photos, but an anonymous group is readying to post another "sexy" shot.

According to reports, this sketchy group wants to sell the entire set of naked pictures of Nicole Polizzi - plus video. People may bid hundreds for it.

Snooki Kissing

Pass.

The new pic on nakedsnooki.com shows her from behind in lingerie. The naked photos match the background of her room, as seen on Snooki's Twitter.

Pics and a video, which is by far the most graphically revealing of all the material and seems to have been taken by Snooki herself, are all for sale.

Jersey Shore has been renewed for a second season by MTV. No word if the network is behind the nakedsnooki.com site and this is all a PR hoax.

Either way, guys, if you wanna see Snooki nude, just go to Karma in Seaside Heights. Girl will be grinding with no underwear. The cover is only $15!

Jay-Z on "We Are the World" Remake: Bad Idea!

When Jay-Z speaks, people listen. That's the kind of respect this artist and producer has earned.

That's why his critique of the recently-remade version of "We Are the World" is receiving so much attention, as the rapper told MTV News over the weekend:

"I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: 'We Are the World,' I love it, and I understand the point and think it's great. But I think 'We Are the World' is like [Michael Jackson's] 'Thriller' to me. I don't ever wanna see it touched."

The man makes a good point. No offense to Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber (okay, some offense to the former), but the iconic single loses a lot of luster when such young musicians are taking the place of Jackson, Bob Dylan and other luminaries.

Jay-Z Picture

"I'm a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that's going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts," Jay-Z added. "But... some things are just untouchable... I think it's time for us to make a new [song]."

Do you agree with Jay-Z? Listen to the remake NOW and then vote below: What do you think of it?

A Very Speidi Valentine's Day

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag never let a holiday go by without the obligatory photo shoot. Or the obligatory plastic surgery or 10 in her case. Just disgusting.

What would Valentine's Day be without a pimp treating his favorite ho to a romantic suite in the Ceasar's Palace resort, decorated by Frederick's of Hollywood?

Nothing, if you're Speidi.

The latest round of Heidi Montag plastic surgery was on full display in Sin City. As you can see, Spencer Pratt's cash cow is now more cyborg than human ...

The Princess of Plastic Surgery

As you can see in the photo gallery below (if you have a strong stomach), The Hills star received numerous gifts, including basques, a babydoll nightdress, heart embellished stockings, Champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Nauseating.

Later in the evening, Heidi and Spencer Pratt hosted a Valentine's bash at the resort's Pure nightclub. After that? You don't even wanna know what happened.

It likely involved Heidi Montag nude. Just saying. We don't have that here, but close. Click to enlarge this display of grossness from the gruesome twosome ...

Eclipse First Look: Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria, Edward and Bella... in Bed!

Two new photos from Eclipse have been leaked, and each is OMG-worthy for its own reason.

First, fans can get their first look at Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria. The actress controversially took over this key role from Rachelle Lefevre after the latter portrayed the character for the first two Twilight Saga films.

In the scene below, Victoria is not getting along very well with Edward, is she?

Victoria vs. Edward

Meanwhile, the second Eclipse image truly has fans buzzing. For what reason? It's a simple equation:

Kristen Stewart + Robert Pattinson - A couple shirt buttons + A steamy embrace = YOU BETTER CHECK OUT THE PHOTO BELOW RIGHT THIS VERY INSTANT.

Edward and Bella in Bed

Eclipse comes out on June 30. Fans are as eager for that date to arrive as Bella is to get Edward's clothes off in this shot from the movie.

** For a couple more steamy stills from the film, visit our Eclipse photo gallery!

Jason Trawick Wines, Dines Britney Spears

Britney Spears is about the only celebrity we can think of whose ideal Valentine's Day consists of a trip to McDonald's and Target, but that was the case yesterday.

Boyfriend and agent Jason Trawick pandered to Britney’s desires by chauffeuring his lady love to the popular fast food restaurant and big box store February 14.

What a gentleman.

Some stars like Speidi try to act like high rollers. Others think super-sizing a meal is all you need to win your lover's heart. You want fries with that, darlin'?

Now if these two could only pull it together a bit in terms of their appearance. Wow, guys. This gives new meaning to the term ridin' dirty ... as in unclean:

Driving Ms. Crazy Pants

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick venture out into the sunlight to go on a special, romantic date. No word yet on whether they survived this harrowing experience.

Not to sound critical, but is Jason looking gaunt, exhausted and worse for the wear? Has he lost weight? Is he trying to get Jamie to fire him and cut him loose?

Eh, as long as they're happy. Click to enlarge more Jason Trawick and Britney Spears pictures for a further glimpse of their romantic Valentine's Day outing ...

Floyd Landis Accused of Hacking Into Lab to Change Failed Drug Test Results

A national arrest warrant has been issued in France against U.S. cyclist Floyd Landis in connection with a hacking operation in which he allegedly attempted to change the results of a failed drug test. That's not one you hear every day!

Landis has been linked to a case involving stolen computer data from an anti-drug laboratory. French judge Thomas Cassuto is seeking to question Landis about his alleged connection to a hacking operation that targeted the lab.

That sounds like the most poorly-hatched plot since John Edwards' idea to gank a diaper from his love child and bribe a doctor to fake a paternity test.

Floyd Landis Picture

Nice try, Floyd Landis. But we have to give you credit for trying to cheat the system to cover up your previous cheating of the system. Go big or go home, right?

Pierre Bordry, the president of the French anti-doping agency, accused Floyd Landis of having a link to the computer hackers. Cassuto also issued a national warrant for Arnie Baker, a longtime Floyd Landis coach and adviser.

"Landis used the hacked files for his defense," said Bordry, referring to Landis' infamous appeal before an anti-doping arbitration hearing in California.

"He wanted to show the lab made mistakes in handling the tests."

Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France victory after testing positive for high levels of testosterone. His appeal of the decision was rejected.

Megan Fox Looks Hot, Wants to Be a Mother, Doesn't Trust Women

As the cover girl for the latest issue of W, Megan Fox has a lot to say about motherhood, women and lingerie.

Because we typically post hot photos of the actress and just stare at them, we'll give Fox a chance to explain herself below. Excerpts from the interview follow...

On having kids:" I'm really maternal... I worry that because I've always wanted [kids] so much, as the world goes sometimes, I won't be able to have them, even though I would be able to provide them with such an amazing environment."

W Cover Pic

On trust issues: "I don't trust people in this industry, but I especially don't trust girls in this industry, because it's incredibly competitive, and I'm just not interested."

On posing in lingerie: "There are some women you could put in underwear and photograph them, and it looks really classy and it doesn't necessarily provoke a pinup image... But with me it does, immediately, as soon as I'm in underwear. I'm a Vargas girl." *

On fashion: "I feel intimidated by fashion. I hate doing photo shoots."

* Apparently, Alberto Vargas was a famous Peruvian painter of pin-up girls. Who knew?!?

For Real This Time: Brooke Mueller in Rehab

Her relationship may be on the mend, but Brooke Mueller still has many personal issues to sort through.

Sources tell TMZ that Charlie Sheen's wife is in rehab for substance abuse, as she reportedly checked into The Canyon rehab facility in Malibu last Tuesday.

Photo of Brooke Mueller

Similar reports sprung up late last month, but Mueller's mother and lawyer insisted she was in a facility to treat an infection she developed following wisdom tooth surgery.

If this news is valid, it wouldn't come as a shock: Brooke was arrested 1996 for drunk driving, and in 2001 for cocaine possession.

She also had a .13 blood-alcohol level at the scene of the alleged Christmas Day incident between her and Sheen, where the latter stands accused of threatening his wife with a knife.

We wish Mueller a speedy recovery.

Alec Baldwin Hospitalization a "Misunderstanding"

Alec Baldwin is a terrific actor whose 30 Rock quotes always make us laugh on Thursdays and who seems like an upstanding, grounded guy in real life.

Relationships with his ex-wife and daughter have been tumultuous, however.

In the latest chapter, Alec was hospitalized briefly after his 14-year-old offspring Ireland Baldwin couldn't reach him and the worried teen called 911.

But Skip Basinger, brother of Alec's ex-wife Kim Basinger, tells People it was just a misunderstanding blown out of proportion and not an attempt to embarrass him.

Ireland was in L.A. and her father was at his Manhattan apartment when they argued over the phone on Thursday, February 11, according to Skip:

An Alec Baldwin Picture

"Ireland was talking to her dad and they got into an argument. He got upset. She tried to call him back and couldn't reach him, so she called 911."

Alec Baldwin was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital before being released just hours later. A source said a big factor was him threatening to take pills.

"It was a simple little thing, a misunderstanding," Basinger says about his niece's decision to call 911. Alec and Ireland "talk all the time," he says.

"Ireland calls him, he calls her. Ireland loves her dad. But kids and their dads are always arguing. Have you ever tried to raise a teenager?"

Skip says Alec has better control of his famous temper after ... well, you know. "After the voicemail incident, he learned to restrain himself."
