Rihanna Covers UK GQ; Fishnets in Effect

With her striking red wig and fishnets, Rihanna strikes a sexy pose for the January issue of GQ UK. A pose she acknowledges some peeps are tiring of.

So she says, anyway. “Girls don’t like to see other girls dressed sexy all the time. I get that. People are always seeing my ass out and my boobs out."


http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

"It can get a little irritating.” Hey, at least she's self-aware ...

YAWN: Getting tired of seeing Rihanna pictures like this? Anyone?





Kim Kardashian Plays Dead for Good Cause

Kim Kardashian is finally putting her inexplicable popularity to good use.

The large-breasted sex tape star is one of a number of big names participating in the Digital Life Sacrifice event, a charitable effort spearheaded by Alicia Keys that asks celebrities to stay off all social networking sites until $1 million is raised in honor of World AIDS Day on December 1.

In a poster to promote the cause, Kim does the same thing that made her famous in the first place: lie down in front of a camera with her eyes closed...

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

"Kim Kardashian Is Dead," reads this ad, detailing how she has sacrificed her digital life "to give real life to millions of others affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Visit BuyLife.org or text ‘KIM’ to ‘90999’ to buy her life now."

We're all for any celebrity using his/her fame to raise funds. But wouldn't this be a more effective campaign if the population could donate money to keep Kim off Twitter and Facebook?

Jennifer Grey Reflects on "Unbelievable" Dancing With the Stars Win

After having four neck surgeries and waging a fight against cancer, Jennifer Grey "didn't even think about winning" when Dancing With the Stars began.

When she was handed the Mirror Ball trophy Tuesday, the health woes the 50-year-old battled made it even sweeter. "This is so unbelievable," she said.

"I feel so grateful, so blessed, that I had this opportunity. I don't know that there's any experience that will ever be anything like this again."

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

Grey's title was effectively sealed 10 minutes before the big reveal, when lightning rod finalist Bristol Palin was named the season's third-place finisher.

It came down to Jennifer and Kyle Massey, who she bested with two perfect scores Monday, and whose fan support wasn't expected to match Bristol's.

After weeks of debate about Palin's staying power thanks to an active fan base, in the end it was not quite enough to deny Jennifer what was hers.





Tiger Woods: Creepin' on the Random Hoes!

They say a Tiger can't change his stripes. Well, a year after Tiger Woods' infamous Thanksgiving weekend car wreck, which revealed his affair with Rachel Uchitel and ignited a mammoth sex scandal, the golfer is up to his old tricks.

No, not Joslyn James and Devon James. But similar tricks.

"He's seeing random girls, creeping around in a low-key way," Us Weekly quotes an alleged Tiger insider as saying. "I don't think you can call it 'dating.'"

So basically, dude's on the prowl for cocktail waitresses all over Florida, but it's hard to call it dating when you get kicked out of the house at 6:30 a.m.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

Oddly, this bogus report goes on to reveal Tiger's actual plans for Thursday one paragraph later: "The kids and his mom will join him for Thanksgiving."

His ex-wife Elin Nordegren, meanwhile, is "not dating, but is in great spirits," the source adds. Well, that's good to hear ... $110 million has to help.

Lindsay Lohan Spending Thanksgiving With ... Dad?!

Since Lindsay Lohan has been barred from leaving the state of the California during this week's Thanksgiving holiday, she'll be spending it in the Golden State.

With her father Michael!

The troubled star tried to get the permission from officials at the Betty Ford clinic to head back to New York for the holiday, to be with her mother and siblings.

LIKE OLD TIMES: Will Thanksgiving 2010 mark a new, positive chapter in the Lohans' relationships? Or just another bump on an extremely bumpy road to ruin?

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

Betty Ford wasn't having it though, so she'll have turkey at a home in the Palm Springs where MiLo is staying, close to the rehab center! Miracles can happen!

Michael wants his ex-wife and Lindsay's awful mom, Dina Lohan, and all of their kids to come out and spend the day, but for now, Dina's not interested.

Maybe a Christmas miracle instead?

Michaela Wallace Interview: A Chat with the Justin Bieber's Girlfriend*

I love Justin Bieber because he has great music that I can relate to, and it doesn't hurt that he's really hot!

Michaela Wallace is certainly not the only 14-year old with this opinion. But she is the only 14-year old with a song titled "Justin Bieber's Girlfriend," one with a video that has gone viral and turned Wallace into an online sensation.

The young singer spoke to Celebuzz this week about her single and her hopes for a successful music career. Might we have a female version of Justin on our hands?


How long has been involved with music?
I have been singing as long as I can remember. Music has always been a passion of mine and part of my life. In church, at school or just on a regular day when I disappear into my room for some one-on-one time with my guitar. I have been playing the piano since I seven years old and playing the guitar since I was ten.




Eva Longoria & Tony Parker: Divorce Rumor is Untrue!

Less than an hour ago, we reported that Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were splitting after three years of marriage, and that Tony filed for divorce in Texas.

Now her rep says it's completely false!

Two clerks at the Bexar County Courthouse in Texas told that the case was filed and sealed by a family law judge, but Eva's rep says Tony did not file.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

The San Antonio Spurs star does not even have a divorce lawyer, she says, and another clerk now says no such divorce case has crossed her desk.

The Desperate Housewives actress and the San Antonio Spurs star married back in July 2007, and has his initials and jersey number tattooed on her body.

Longoria was to appear at the taping of Anderson Cooper's CNN Heroes of 2010 special this weekend, but canceled, sparking rumors something was up.

Fortunately, it looks like the rumors, however they started, simply spiraled out of control and people jumped the gun. Hopefully, they're happy as ever!

Britney Spears Bonds With Sean Preston

Britney Spears and her eldest son, Sean Preston Federline, headed out for some mother-son bonding time this weekend. Frozen treats were involved.

The adorable twosome hit up the Menchie’s yogurt shop, and SP wasted no time digging in - after a pit stop at mom’s home away from home, Starbucks.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

Amazing as it is that Britney Spears has a five-year-old son, motherhood does seem to suit her, especially since she got back on medication in the 2008.

Here's the two of them strolling through Calabasas.




Scarlett Johansson Named GQ Babe of the Year

While Esquire named that former Friday Night Lights star the Sexiest Woman Alive, GQ has come back and honored the Scarlett Johansson as its 2010 Babe of the Year. For what reasons? We'll let the magazine explain:

At 26, she remains with fresh-faced, curious, trying on the new moods and outlets of expression as easily as she changes her hair color. This is what we love about Scarlett: that she's game, that she's good, that she can try on all these guises without seeming to try too hard.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

And all the while still seem genuinely like the observant, inquisitive (and very cute) girl in transition we fell for in Lost in Translation.

John Travolta, Kelly Preston Await Baby Son

Reeling from the loss of their teenage son and a slew of sordid tabloid rumors, John Travolta and Kelly Preston are looking forward to the most joyous of moments. The final countdown to the birth of their new baby, a boy, is underway.

“I can’t wait to meet Benjamin,” Travolta told Extra.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

That might happen sooner than he planned. Confirming Preston’s due date is Nov. 26, Travolta revealed his wife, 48, has had some dicey moments lately.

Even though he’s in Australia to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of Qantas Airways, he’s ready to rush home at a moment's notice for the big moment.




Style Showdown: Blake Lively vs. Rihanna vs. Madonna

When it comes to setting, not just following the fashion trends, Blake Lively, Rihanna and Madonna all know a thing or two about a thing or two. But who will prevail in this fashion face-off and who'll get the boot (sort of literally)?

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

The Queen of the Pop and the Gossip Girl star both wore Stella McCartney thigh-highs out recently, but it was the "Only Girl in the World" singer who actually wore them first (last fall). Who do they look best on? You tell us!

Report: Demi Lovato is Rehabbing in Illinois

Demi Lovato is receiving treatment at a facility outside the Chicago.

Gossip Center spies say they saw the singer's family members at the Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center over the weekend, which is located in the Lemont, Illinois.

Information about the patients is kept private, of course, but the facility's website says residents get involved in the local causes at "nursing homes, animal shelters, children's hospitals and veteran's organizations.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

"Volunteer work is an important part of the residential treatment because it reinforces the ability to connect with others," reads the site. "It also helps them realize that they are not the only ones who face lifelong challenges and need the assistance of others in this world to live a healthy and fulfilling life."




Floyd Mayweather Ordered to Stay Away from his Children, Ex

After skipping a court hearing on yesterday, Floyd Mayweather finds himself in even more legal trouble.

The boxer has been ordered to pat $31,000 in the bail and to stay away from Josie Harris and the two children he shares with this ex-girlfriend.

Mayweather was due in court to face the eight misdemeanor and felony charges, all of which stem from a September incident in which he allegedly punched Harris in the face and took her cell phone.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

Reports indicate he also threatened to beat his children if they dialed 911. The world champion athlete could face up to 34 years in prison if convicted on charges that includes the felony coercion, grand larceny and robbery. He is due back in court January 24.





Michael Jackson's Kids: Safe From Crazy Joe

Fans worried about Michael Jackson's kids after watching Katherine Jackson on Oprah need not worry. They will not suffer the child abuse their father did.

Katherine, Michael's mother and now the legal guardian of his children Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket, does not believe in the physical discipline. Period.

Joe Jackson beat Michael and basically said he'd do it again, but Katherine corrects Paris, Prince and Blanket by talking to them. What a wild concept.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

Moreover, Katherine will not let Joe be involved in any disciplinary situations when it comes to the youngsters, so he won't lay a hand on MJ's kids.

Joe admitted to Oprah he whipped Michael with a strap, which he justified by saying that none of the couple's nine children had ever been to the jail.

This wasn't exactly news, since his abusive past is common knowledge, but the bluntness and lack of regret was unsettling to many Michael fans.

In any case, it turns out discipline is not a high priority at the Jackson compound ... because Michael's kids are incredibly well-behaved anyway.

Football Player David Beckham to Launch Men's Underwear Line

He's stripped down multiple times for Armani, but David Beckham will soon be getting nearly naked for no one but himself. And millions of women around the world, of course.

Sources confirm that the 35-year old soccer star/stud will soon launch his own line of men's underwear, as one insider told MTV UK:

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

"The whole planet went nuts when David stripped off for his Armani ads. Sales went through the roof. It was decided not to renew the Armani contract and develop a business of David’s own. He has seen how fulfilling it has been for Victoria to branch out and relishes a similar challenge.”

Reports indicate that sales of Armani increased by 30% with Beckham as the face/body of the brand.


Madonna Compares Bullying Gays to Holocaust

Bullying is getting a lot of publicity in these days, with an outspoken Madonna joining a chorus of celebrities in voicing opposition to this disturbing trend.

Not surprisingly, the music icon used stronger words than most.

Appearing via satellite on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Madonna makes a heartfelt plea to end bullying, which she likens to lynching or the Holocaust.

"I'm incredibly disturbed and saddened by the overwhelming number of teen suicides that have been reported lately because of bullying," she says.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

"Suicide in general is disturbing. Teenagers committing suicide is extremely disturbing, but to hear that teenagers are taking their lives because they are being bullied in the schools and dormitories, what have you, is kind of unfathomable."

Madonna, who says she was bullied herself as a kid in Michigan, was just getting started on a "rampage" troubled kids could all learn a lesson from ...

Michael Jackson's "Breaking News"

After controversy surrounding Howard Mann, Katherine Jackson and the new Michael Jackson single that was really just a remix of "Destiny," the King of Pop's latest, posthumous effort has actually been released, and "Breaking News" is terrific.

It's the first song from the Sony's new Jackson album, due out later this year. "Breaking News" is vintage Jackson, from the vocals down to the catchy beats.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

The much-anticipated song is a harsh look at the media through the eyes of MJ, who knew a thing or two about scrutiny. The lyrics have the feel of a defiant, comeback proclamation from an unparalleled entertainer with something to prove.

As we previously reported, the song was recorded at the home of music producer Eddie Cascio, where Michael and his children lived for four months in 2007.





Miley Cyrus Performances & Pictures in Europe

They say artists are at home on the stage, able to block out all the distractions and focus on the entertaining task at the hand.

Fans of Miley Cyrus hope that was the case for the 17-year old this weekend, as she got far away from the personal problems of her parents' divorce and her own break-up by traveling to Europe and putting on a pair of performances.



Unfortunately, she ran into another issue as soon as she arrived in Spain. But ridiculous outrage of a bottle of beer didn't prevent Miley from putting on a rendition of "Who Owns My Heart" for the German show Wetten Dass, as introduced by Denzel Washington:

Miley then sung the same song the following evening in the Madrid as part of the MTV Europe Music Awards. We've posted photos and a video of that performance below.

Taylor Swift to Launch Fragrance

Taylor Swift says she's inspired to write songs based on her dating experiences.

Therefore, we can't help but wonder: what will her upcoming fragrance line smell like? Some kind of Joe Jonas/John Mayer mash-up?

The talented singer announced plans this week for her own perfume, saying in a statement:

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

“I have always loved how fragrance can shape a memory... the way certain scents remind you of events and people that are imprinted in your thoughts. Lately, I’ve been having fun experimenting with combining some of my favorite scents, so I’m really excited about working with Elizabeth Arden to develop my own unique fragrance.”

Consumers will have plenty of time to contemplate the perfume. It won't hit stores until the fall of 2011.





Katy Perry Rates Self "10 Out of 10" in Bed

Maybe it's boasting, but somehow it fits. If Katy Perry rated herself a 5-6, that just wouldn't fit with our perception of her or boost her record that sales much.

Her childhood may have been a bit sheltered, but as an adult, the pop star has no qualms about her wild ways in the bedroom with husband Russell Brand.

"Like Ludacris raps, 'I'm a lady in the street and a freak in the bed,'" she told Now Magazine. "If you ask Russell I'm sure he'd give me a 10 out of 10."


The pair, who got married in India last month, are happy as can be, and Perry isn't worried about her hubby straying, despite a history of skirt-chasing.

"He's made no secret of his life before me, but that's then and this is the future," she said. "He's cheated in the past but he knows how good he has it with me and I know he'd never do anything to jeopardize that. I trust him 100 percent."

If the "Firework" is really a 10 out of 10, why bother?!

Tila Tequila Granted a Restraining Order Against Garry Sun

Tila Tequila has turned the tables on the Garry Sun.

Late last week, a judge granted a restraining order for this sad sack of a celebrity blogger against the photographer who accused her of kidnapping his girlfriend, Shyla Jennings.

The legal documents state that Sun must remain 10 yards away from the Tequila at all times, which is a hilariously tiny figure. He could totally still toss rocks or something at Tila from that distance.

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

Following the issuing of this order of the protection, Tila told she's set to file a lawsuit against Sun for "making such crazy allegations about me." But there's another twist that casts doubt on the validity of this story:

Jennings says she no clue who Garry Sun is. No way he and Tequila are working together to desperately extend the latter's 15 minutes of fame, right? That just doesn't sound like something Tila would do at all.





Singer Lily Allen Suffers Another Miscarriage

Very sad news this week for the Lily Allen: the singer has suffered her second miscarriage, this time after six months of her pregnancy.

"It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby," the British singer's rep said in a statement today. "The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment will be made."

http://latest-hollywoodgossip.blogspot.com

In early August, Allen and Sam Cooper announced they were expecting a boy in the January.

Tragically, this marks the artist's second such heartbreak, arriving almost three years after she went through a miscarriage during her relationship with the musician Ed Simons. We wish her all the best.
