Rehab
LeAnn Rimes is in rehab for stress and anxiety. She says, ''This is just a time for me to emotionally check out for a second and take care of myself and come back in 30 days as the best 30-year-old woman I can be.

Rimes is also suing Kimberly Smiley and her daughter Lexi, for illegally taping her phone calls and posting snippets online. The Smileys are friends with Brandi Glanville. Glanville Tweeted: “I’m glad she is finally getting help”
Not Saying Sorry
Kanye West won't apologize to Taylor Swift at the MTV VMA's. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Come on, Kanye ain’t trying to apologize .... that happened years ago. He ain’t into rehashing. I know he feel bad about that, but he was going through a lot back then and that’s in the past. He likes Taylor, and he thinks her music is dope but Kanye don’t make no apologies even when he’s in the wrong.”
Prince Harry has been offered a cameo in The Hangover Part III. A source tells NOW magazine, ''When the Harry news broke we immediately saw an opportunity for using the scandal. If the 3 guys came across Harry then what happened in his penthouse suite could get even more out of control. Writers have been given carte blanche to try any comedy ideas around Harry. It is a natural step for him to be invited to join them too. And rather than pay a fee they could offer him a huge charity donation.''
Baby Picture Wanted
Snooki may receive $250,000 for her first baby pics. A source tells the Huff Post, “There is great interest in seeing what Snooki’s son looks like. She has never been a great seller in the past, but who doesn’t want to see if her little meatball looks like his famous mom? I expect the bidding war could go as high as $250,000, with several outlets bidding against each other and raising the price.”
Why Mayer Broke Up With Perry
I don't think it was a shock to anyone to hear that John Mayer & Katy Perry didn't work out. John Mayer is the one that ended the love. According to UsWeekly their source said, "[John was tired of her hard partying and decided to pull the plug. He dumped her over email. She was furious and really hurt. She was into him, but he wasn’t feeling it." Seriously???

Kimmel vs Leno
Jimmy Kimmel is not a fan of Jay Leno..at all! While doing an interview in front of hundreds of fellow New Yorkers, Jimmy Kimmel whose show is to 11:35 PM and will be in direct competition with Jay Leno's Tonight Show, was asked how he felt about his fellow late night television host. Here was Kimmel's response: "F— him." Kimmel further elaborated about the time he went on Leno's show and basically destroyed Leno saying, "It was probably my proudest moment. People, it turns out, really don't like Jay Leno. We have not spoken since that time." Definitely some serious drama going on between these two.
Ready for babies!
Kim and Kanye want kids. A source tells Heat magazine, ''Kim and Kanye are serious - they want to get married as soon as possible. But Kim figures that if Kris is going to drag their divorce on for as long as possible, then she'll put her wedding plans on hold and concentrate on stating a family with Kanye first. Kim has had her heart set on having a baby for a while now. Watching her sister Kourtney have a girl recently has confirmed it even more, but above all she wants to show Kanye how serious she is about them spending the rest of their lives together, which had been proving difficult with all the noise Kris has been making about their divorce. She thinks Kanye has everything; he's incredibly rich, talented, and good-looking. She knows her baby will be taken care of and loves the ideas that they would be first-time parents together.''
Russell Brand has a new spice in his life. According to reports, Russell is getting serious with Geri Halliwell aka Ginger Spice of the Spice Girls! Our insiders reveal:“Things are getting very serious between them — they’re a proper couple now. They had met several times in the past, but really got to know each other during the Olympics. People thought Russell was joking at the time, when he said he had a crush on Geri all over again, but it was true. They just clicked — they have so much in common. They’ve exactly the same sense of humour and are serious about clean living." According to his pals, the comic is totally changing his schedule to spend time with the single mom: "He is spending so much more time in London just to be with her."

In other words, no, they have NOT been washed. He wore them under his famous white jumpsuit so that no lines would show through his outfit on stage.

Joan Tweeted: “Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it’s MY turn to slap her.'' Rihanna replied: “@Joan_Rivers wow u really do get slow when you’re old huh?” and added: “Slap on some diapers.”
Arrested Development
Arrested Development is coming back in the spring of 2013. There will be at least 10 episodes, meaning there might be more! David Cross said, “I think it’s going to be 13 episodes, not 10. There’s too much story,. Some characters will have two-parters. Everybody sort of participates, sometimes in a bigger way and sometimes in a tiny little thread that goes through everybody else’s stories.”Following David's comments, sources added: “According to a spokesperson for Netflix, Season 4 will arrive in spring. Netflix still hasn’t released an exact date for the return of the Bluth clan, but we’re one step closer to knowing when we’ll be able to taste the happy. Another interesting tidbit: According to Netflix, the episode order could grow beyond the 10 installments the company originally ordered.”
Howard Stern recently ripped Nicki Minaj's desire to judge American Idol. He said, "Mariah Carey is an Icon, she’s been in the business for like 10,000 years… she's sold like more records than The Beatles or something… she has a credibility. Nicki Minaj is sort of new on the scene… doesn't she have multiple personalities? She’s going to out crazy, crazy… we're going to be sitting there for an hour while all her personalities decide."
Denied Parole
Mark David Chapman has once again been denied parole, after being sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for killing John Lennon. This is the 17th time he has been denied parole. Board member Sally Thompson,who was present at yesterday’s hearing, stated "Parole shall not be granted for good conduct and program completions alone. Therefore, despite your positive efforts while incarcerated, your release at this time would greatly undermine respect for the law and tend to trivialize the tragic loss of life which you caused as a result of this heinous, unprovoked, violent, cold and calculated crime." Chapman’s next hearing is scheduled for 2014.
To Amy Whinehouse
Green Day's new song, Amy, “is their way of sending flowers” to Amy Winehouse. Billie Joe Armstrong says, “Her death was a big loss. I didn’t know her but I was a fan of her music. She brought the old soul and first wave of ska into a modern era. She was an unbelievable talent, so the song kind of wrote itself.”
Kris Jenner wants Kanye West to judge American Idol. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, ''Kris knows this would do wonders for Kim and Kayne's new reality show and bring in the biggest ratings ever. Their reality show would be on a completely different level. Kris has been working with Ryan Seacrest behind the scenes to make this happen. It was actually Ryan's idea in the first place and he produces all the Kardashian shows for E! So if [Kanye] became a judge on 'American Idol', it would be a win-win for everyone!''
What Celebs Tweet...
Nickelback's Chad Kroeger recently proposed to Avril Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond ring. They fell in love while he worked on her next CD. Avril says, ''He makes me laugh every day. He takes care of me in every way and is extremely attentive.'' Chad says, ''I knew I was falling for her. It was incredibly powerful and something I'll never forget.''

Avril arrived first with a bunch of male friends and bodyguards, then Chad showed up later and met them inside. Avril was so excited to see her man." Funny Twitter Reactions

Darth Vader (@DepressedDarth): Canadians Avril Lavigne and the guy from Nickelback are engaged. And I thought Justin Bieber was reason enough to hate Canada.
The Drunky Single (@TheDrunkySingle): I wish every ex of mine could get engaged to Nickelback guy… I would feel so much better about life.
Zach Braff (@zachbraff): So THATS who likes Nickelback.
William Fitzsimmons (@wfitzsimmons): I won't give you up that easily Chad Kroeger.
Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack): People forget that Avril and Chad Kroeger are both Canadian so they HAVE to get married. It's also why Justin Bieber is going to marry Rush.
Drew Magary (@drewmagary): I assume Avril Lavigne was drawn to Chad Kroeger because he doesn't make things complicated, particularly song structures.
Lee Newton (@leenewtonsays): Did you hear? Avril Lavigne is engaged to that chick from Nickelback…

The Office Closes The Doors
It has been confirmed that after 9 seasons, NBC's The Office will be ending after the next season. Greg Daniels, who is the executive producer said this about the new & last season: "All questions will be answered this year. We're going to see who is behind the documentary. We're going to meet some of them… and we're going to explore [why they were filming for so long]." Daniels added that "a lot of familiar faces" will be coming back, including the fate of Michael Scott: "It would be fantastic if [Steve] would return. He loved how [Michael] exited, and is probably anxious about not messing up such a stylish exit. That’s a perfectly legitimate point. We’ll see. There’s so much to pay off after nine seasons of so many great characters. My biggest concern is just packing in these great ideas the writing staff has and making sure we can squeeze as many as we can into the ending. Now that we know we have an end date we can kind of blow up things and take some chances. [It's] very freeing creatively."

Last week Rosie O'Donnell survived a life-threatening heart attack. It is crazy to hear that the man who called Rosie "disgusting both inside and out" was one of the firsts to send his sympathies!

Nicki Minaj has joined the judges panel of American Idol. While the rapper has yet to publicly confirm her role on the reality competition, sources close to production have revealed that it has not been an easy process working out the contract…but it's not her fault!

When she realized we were taking pictures of her, she gave me a dirty look but continued texting, laughing with her friends in the car."
The Expenda-Belles?

Chris Brown Upset About Interview
Chris Brown was affected by the clip of Rihanna being interviewed by Oprah. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Chris saw the video clip. Of course he saw it, how do you think he feels? He feels horrible he did that. Watching [Rihanna's interview with Oprah] made him realize he made a big mistake and he’s been paying for it ever since. He’s working hard, in the studio, dancing, doing everything he can to rebuild his name and career and I think he been successful in doing all that. Y’all should be talking about his road to recovery and how he’s been a man and made s–t right. He and Ri are cool, more cool than anyone will know. She forgave the [boy] the minute that s–t went down, so what that say about their relationship?” A source tells RADAR Online, "Chris is just confused about Rihanna's decision to bring up the past again and again — this time in an interview with Oprah. Rihanna has previously given wide ranging interviews about the beating to Diane Sawyer and several print magazines. Chris just doesn't think it's productive or relevant to rehash the events since essentially nothing new is being revealed in the interview Rihanna has done with Oprah. Chris doesn't begrudge Rihanna at all for talking about it but he thinks that in order for them to both move forward and not be defined by that one night, it would be better to stop bringing it up."
Brad Pitt recently congratulated Jennifer Aniston on her engagement. A source tells the Daily Mirror, “Brad gave Jen a quick call to say how pleased he was to hear that she was getting married.

He wished her luck and told her he hopes they’re very happy together. Brad and Angelina is due to marry in the next few weeks and she wished him all the best for his wedding, too. Brad and Jen don’t get in touch that often as they’ve both moved on with their lives. Jen does still chat to his mum, Jane, so there are rumors in Hollywood that she will make an appearance at the wedding.”

One insider reveals: "The lone holdout during the entire negotiation process leading up to the Games had been Victoria. Victoria said her schedule just wouldn't permit it because of commitments with her fashion line and her duties of being a mother, including daughter, Harper, who just turned one year old. The ladies decided they would perform without Victoria because they felt it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to play for a worldwide audience at the Olympics. Once Victoria learned of their plans she was able to juggle her schedule to allow her to perform too."

They said, “John has had his eye on Katy for a while and he had to try and convince her that he was right for her.

Not Going To Judge
Pink won't be judging any reality shows. She says, "I was offered The Voice in Australia plus American Idol and The X Factor. I said no because you can't be honest. People will hate you if you're honest. Simon Cowell is the only person who gets away with it because he's got an accent. And he's a man. People would just hate me more than they already do. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings."
Steven Spielberg made a good choice by picking Daniel Day-Lewis to play Abraham Lincoln in his upcoming movie. Daniel looks just like him. Unlike the president's most recent screen incarnation in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the drama that hits theaters on November 16 focuses on the last four months of his life. Spielberg is exploring the political strategizing he undertook at the close of the Civil War to ensure that slavery would abolished forever. And lots of box office potential because the film has lots of other star power too.Tommy Lee Jonesstars as one of the president's "most engaging and challenging adversaries", while Sally Field plays Lincoln's wife and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of his sons.

Enjoying The Single Life
Katie Holmes likes being single. A source tells RADAR Online, “Katie is a new woman, she feels refreshed, free of Tom and doesn’t have a worry in the world. When before she used to fret if she was ever single, now she’s happy to be alone. Katie’s enjoying her independence and is working on herself right now. Tom also influenced what movies she appeared in, so she was unable to steer her career in the way she wanted to. Now, she has full control over what she wants to do and that freedom is exciting for her. It was a relief for her to be finally rid of Tom, but she was filled with some guilt over the way she did it. When she first met Tom, he whisked her off her feet and she was head over heels in love with him. But soon his controlling nature took all the fun out of their relationship. Tom had absolutely no clue that Katie had been planning an escape route for almost a year, but she felt it was the safest way for her and Suri to break free.''
Most people around Justin Bieber's age worry about college, money, cars, and so on. But not Justin, he is worried about Prince William's thinning head of hair. Justin said, “I mean, there are things to prevent that nowadays, like Propecia. I don’t know why he doesn’t just get those things, those products. You just take Propecia and your hair grows back. Have you not got it over here?”
Live With Me

Whether she wanted to be listed as guardian or not, she's not going to abdicate any authority.'' Since all of the drama that has happened with Katherine Jackson, Diana made a visit to see the kids. Here's what a source said: "[After Michael's death in 2009, Diana would phone the kids to see] if they needed advice or anything else. But last week, she wanted to meet with the children in person to make sure she heard all the right things. Things you can't easily detect on the telephone, like body language.''

Drake may produce an Aaliyah CD featuring some of her unheard songs. Timbaland says, "I know they’re trying to drop some Aaliyah records, but if he do do it, it should be with me and him and Missy. I don’t know what’s going on, but the proper way to do that would be for me, him and Missy to be all on the record. I produce it. But to put it on his album or to put it on his record or whatever, however it be, it would just not be right."
Co-Host Wanted
Since last November, Kelly Ripa has been on the search for a brand new cohost, after Regis left the show. While Seth Meyers and Josh Groban have been labeled as frontrunners, they are not who Kelly has in mind. In Kelly's opinion, her dream cohost would be Anderson Cooper. Why Anderson? Kelly said, "We have a connection like nobody else. I worship him!"
Facebook now has 995 million active users. It also has 83 million fake accounts. Many fakes are duplicate accounts set up by people, who want to keep their activities from their partner.
Ghostbusters 3
Ghostbusters 3 is in the works. Dan Akroyd says, “We're working on it to make it just right to satisfy our fans. I'm confident we'll be in production in the next year. It's sad but we're passing it on to a new generation. Ghostbusters 3 can be a successful movie without Bill. My preference would be to have him involved but at this point he doesn't seem to be coming and we have to move on. It's time to make the third one.”
Kardashian Wants To Host
Khloe Kardashian wants to host The X Factor. She says, "I'm a big fan of The X Factor. I've always wanted to do hosting or talk show hosting, so it's definitely something that I would love to do and would be honored to do. To be on such a huge show like that with those judges, I would have so much fun doing that. I love Simon. I think he's amazing. I love personalities like that because I'm someone who is very straightforward and I tell it like it is. That's what he's doing."
Jon Gosselin is allegedly in financial trouble. He tells Perez Hilton, "I can't afford to pay my rent and the domestic-relations staff tell me they will put me in jail unless I pay child support. I am a single father who’s trying to make ends meet during a recession. What do I do — pay child support or rent? I need to support my kids, but I could lose my house, and I need my home to continue to have custody. I decided to take the high road and quit reality television and now look, I'm going to end up in jail because I can't afford to pay child support to Kate who has plenty of money."
Love In The Air
Taylor Swift has been seen cuddling with Conor Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy JR. Last weekend the 2 were spotted in Massachusetts spending lots of time both together and with the Kennedy family. A source has confirmed that the 2 are officially dating. Taylor is said to be “smitten” with him and reportedly, the Kennedy family LOVES her and “think she's amazing!”
Not Me
Kelly Clarkson could never judge American Idol. She says, 'I'm kind of super-proud that I'm from the show and Mariah Carey's going to be on it. Just because I'm a huge fan of hers. I don't like the judging part of it. That's what I liked about Duets. I got to actually mentor them and it was more fun. I don't think I'd be honest. I think I'd get home and be like, 'Did you see that, boy? He was bad! I don't think I'd say that on TV because people would hate me!''
Melanie Griffith has officially joined the cast of Raising Hope for its 3rd season. She will be playing the role or Sabrina's mom on the FOX Comedy. There is no word yet what her character's name will be yet, but it is known that Sabrina's folks are super rich.
Engagement
Over the weekend, Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina shocked everyone on Twitter with a picture of her holding hands with her boyfriend/adopted brother, wearing an engagement ring! But, a friend close to the couple claims their nuptials have been called off. According to their pal: ”Bobbi and Nick really love each other. But they just can't figure out how they want to define their relationship. Bobbi felt like she got swept up in the moment because she was going through a lot of emotions after Whitney's death. But they're in love and still together, just not engaged.”
50 Shades Of Grey Movie
Angelina Jolie wants to star in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. A source tells NOW magazine, ''Angelina kept hearing about the book while she was in the UK. All the girls on set were talking about it and how it's being made into a film. Angelina went out and bought herself a copy, thinking she'd love a part in the hot topic on everyone's lips at the moment. She knows the film is going to be a huge hit.'' Babycenter.com claims Fifty Shades of Grey has sparked a baby boom.
