Paris Hilton has dismissed reports she moved on from her recent break-up with Doug Reinhardt by romancing Portuguese soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo – insisting they are “just good friends”.  The hotel heiress recently ended her six-month romance with baseball player Reinhardt, announcing the news on Tuesday through her publicist.   But just a day after the split, the hotel heiress was spotted getting close to Manchester United player Ronaldo in a Los Angeles nightclub – prompting rumors of a new relationship.   But Hilton insists she is not dating Ronaldo – and remains coy over whether romance will bloom in the future.   She says, “Cristiano and I are good friends. Very good friends. He’s a nice guy – and an incredible athlete. We’re getting to know each other and I have to leave it at that.”  Damn that Paris, sinking her teeth in to all the cute foreign guys.

 

 

 

 

Lindsay Lohan has vowed to fully cooperate with police as they investigate the disappearance of jewelry from her recent photo shoot with British Elle magazine.

The Mean Girls star has been caught up in an official inquiry after $400,000 worth of gems allegedly vanished from the set of the photo shoot, which took place during the actress’ trip to London earlier this month.   The jewels were loaned to the magazine for the picture session, but were not returned to the jewelry store afterward. The editors and jewelers then spent two weeks trying to get a response from the Mean Girls actress, but she reportedly left the U.K. last week without getting back to them.   According to HolyMoly.com, the matter was handed over to British police late last week.   And now Lohan has responded to the revelations, insisting she will do whatever she can to help cops investigate the matter.   Her representative, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, tells Radar Online that the star is “happy to co-operate” with police.   She adds, “We haven’t been contacted yet by anyone. Lindsay hopes they find the missing items.”  I swear that girl would do anything to keep her name in the papers.

 

 

 

 

Miley Cyrus was caught cavorting on the beach with a new man on Monday – she locked lips with a young Aussie actor in sexy scenes for her new film “The Last Song.”  The Disney superstar is ready to put her clean-cut image behind her as she embarks on a career as a serious actress, and started by filming intimate moments in the sea with hunk Liam Hemsworth.   Cyrus plays a wild child who is packed off to live with her estranged father in the upcoming movie.   And it certainly seems the Hannah Montana star – who recently split from model boyfriend Justin Gaston – enjoyed her seaside smooching scenes. She tells UsWeekly.com, “I got a hot boy. Not bad to look at for the summer.”   But the teen queen is quick to refute any rumors she’s enjoying a real life romance with her co-star, writing on her Twitter.com page: “I am not dating Liam! We have a kissing scene on the beach today I’m just working not a bad job huh?”  Wow, you know what they say, once a tramp, always a tramp.

 

 

Madonna has said she is “ecstatic” an appeals court in Malawi has approved her request to adopt a little girl from an orphanage in the country.  The singer’s application to adopt Chifundo “Mercy” James — who has alternately been reported as 3 and 4 years old — was initially denied because Madonna did not meet Malawi’s residency requirements.  The judge hearing the case said granting the celebrity the adoption could possibly open the door for human trafficking.  However, Madonna appealed the ruling and was told Friday her adoption petition had been granted. The appeals court said the first judge hearing the case did not take into consideration the divorced star’s commitment to helping disadvantaged children when she made her decision.  “I am extremely grateful for the Supreme Court’s ruling on my application to adopt Mercy James,” Madonna Monday told Usmagazine.com via her spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg.  “I am ecstatic. My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her,” added the 50-year-old recording artist and mother of three other children.  “Her passport is already being prepared — we’re not going to pause this over the weekend,” a senior-level government insider told the magazine’s Web site. “Madonna and Mercy should be together by Wednesday.”  Damn, being a celebrity really does have its perks.

 

 

 

 

Get ready for another round of Speidi.   Spencer and Heidi may be off I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! but the reality TV stars are already making plans for a comeback.   “I actually was just letting NBC know that I am ready to go back,” The Hills star, 25, tells MTV.   ”I’m ready. I got a whole new attitude about it.”   But Pratt and Montag, 23, will probably have to wait until next season to return to the Costa Rican jungle.   “We tried to go back but the cast said they would mutiny if we showed up!” he says.   “And the doctor told me I couldn’t,” adds Montag, who was briefly hospalitized during her stint on the show. “The minute we walked in [the show] I started crying – I never cry. I cry, like, once every three years … and then I got really sick … and that’s when we were like, ‘Maybe the jungle is not for Speidi.’ “  Eh, I am over Speidi, totally.  I am all about Audrina.

 

 

 

 

The third time isn’t the charm for Britney Spears – at least not yet.   Despite rumors that the singer plans to wed her boyfriend, agent Jason Trawick, the couple is not engaged, a source tells PEOPLE.   “There’s no truth to it at all. Britney is not engaged,” says the source.   Rumors of impending nuptials for Spears, who has been married twice before, began to surface Wednesday after Star magazine reported that the singer planned to “walk down the aisle again” with Trawick.   Spears, 27, and Trawick have been spending lots of time together lately – including taking a trip to the Bahamas with her two sons last month.   “They’re very sweet together,” a source People. “He makes Britney really happy, and he’s great with the boys.”  Come on Britney, twice is enough for you for now.

 

 

 

 

Sean Penn is going on an indefinite hiatus from acting to spend time with his family, specifically his two teenage children, daughter Dylan, 18, and son Hopper, 15.   The time off comes as a surprise, especially to the producers of what was to be his next two films, the Mafia-thriller Cartel, and the hotly-anticipated Three Stooges, where Penn was to portray curly-haired dimwit Larry opposite Jim Carrey’s Curly and Benicio Del Toro’s Moe.   But Penn has greater priorities than taking one across the kisser. “Right now Sean wants to focus on being with his kids,” a source close to Penn tells PEOPLE.  Oh man, he would have been a perfect Larry.  Family is totally over-rated.

 

 

 

 

And finally, the brother of Mia Farrow has been found dead in his Vermont home, the second tragedy in recent months for the actress, whose daughter died in December.   Patrick Farrow, 66, a sculptor who was the older brother of the actress, was found late Monday night by police responding to an emergency call placed by an unidentified female from his home in Castleton, Vt.   “The victim’s body is being sent to the office of the chief medical examiner for autopsy to determine cause and manner of death,” said Vermont State Police Lt. Timothy Oliver in a statement. “The death is considered suspicious.”  That is so sad, what a horrible way to end your life.

R&B Superstar Usher and his wife are reportedly planning to divorce after almost two years of marriage.  The “Yeah!” hitmaker and stylist Tameka Foster have been living apart for the past year, according to In Touch.   Divorce papers were filed in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday morning.   The shocking news comes just four months after Foster suffered cardiac arrest during cosmetic surgery in Brazil.   At the time, Usher, who flew to be by her side, insisted he had no idea his wife was there for the procedure.   A source close to the couple says, “Usher’s primary concern is for his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them.”   The couple has two kids together, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, six months.  Wow, that is no surprise.  Those rumors have been circulating for months.

Speaking of Splits, Paris Hilton’s publicist said the socialite has broken up with reality television personality Doug Reinhardt after six months of dating.  “In response to the inquiry on whether Paris Hilton has split up with Doug Reinhardt, yes, this is true they are no longer together. They remain friends and ask that you please respect their privacy,” Hilton’s representative told People.com.  Reinhardt’s publicist did not offer an immediate comment on the news, the magazine said on its Web site.   Time to break out the Bleach.

Heidi Montag’s Playboy shoot is over and done with … but before you get too excited, Heidi told us you’re not gonna get to see as much as you think. Heidi said although she exposed a lot of skin during the shoot, she still covered up the bull’s-eyes on her moneymakers. She also told us she’ll be featured on two covers — but no real nudity.   So it looks like Spencer, her doctors, and the watchful eye in the sky are the only ones who get to see her lady parts in full bloom.  What, no real nudity?  Eh, give her another 6 months, and then the hard-core porn with her and Spencer will be accidentally leaked on the Internet.

Daughter of famed singer Cher and the late Sonny Bono, Chastity Bono, has announced her decision to transition from female to male.   Chastity Bono, daughter of singer and actress Cher, decided to go male all the way.   In her announcement on Thursday, the short-haired Bono, who once starred on “Celebrity Fit Club” said it is official: She will be changing her sex.   Justin Tanis, a community education and outreach manager for National Center for Transgender Equality in Washington {NCTEW}, said about women who go transgender, “It makes it easier for people to perceive you as male.”   Like Bono, who’s up for testosterone meds and surgery, Tanis has already undergone the female-to-male transformation, according to ABC News It is unclear the feminine name Tanis went by before being perceived as masculine.   Bono, who is already claiming herself to be Chaz, said she desires to marry her longtime girlfriend as a man. While Ted Casablanca at E! Online was happy for her move, Laura Higgins from Opposing Views said that Bono will always be a woman regardless.   Good for her, I don’t agree with messing with God, but if it makes you “complete” than rock on.

Photos depicting “risky sex” involving “Milk” screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, were leaked on the Internet earlier this week.   Oscar-winning screenwriter for the movie “Milk,” Dustin Lance Black, became the recent center of attention. But not in the way he would’ve liked.   The gay pacifist and safe sex promoter said that he was mortified after old photos of him engaged in “risky sex” with a partner, were somehow made public on the Internet.   According to nbcbayarea.com, Black issued a statement saying, “I apologize and cannot emphasize enough the importance of responsible sexual practices.”   Black, the director of in-production film, “What’s Wrong with Virginia,” starring Jennifer Connelly and Liam Nieson, was commemorated for his works, earlier in the week, at the 2009 UCLA Festival, Indie Wire reports.   It seems as though Black’s past isn’t much news to fuss over, since he’s also scheduled to attend a Los Angeles event sponsored by gay youth-mentoring group LifeWorks, according to E! Online.  Nevertheless, attorneys for Black are seeking legal action of the confidential pictures to prohibit further sharing and spreading.  Oh that is not good.

Embarking on the sixth season of his show, MTV’s Run’s House, Run DMC’s Rev. Run says he’s not affected by the media attention – or the so-called curse on Reality show families.  “We’re not extremely ambitious to be these big stars,” Run, 44, tells PEOPLE. “We hope to inspire people to see the value of being a family.”   With wife Justine, 45, Run is a “very involved and hands on” parent to all six of his children (Vanessa, 25, Angela, 21, JoJo, 20, Russy, 12, Diggy, 14, and baby Miley, 1 ½). “Everything is about them,” he says.  But raising a big family is not without its pitfalls – and Run doesn’t try to hide that from audiences. This season, the Simmons family faces a new challenge when JoJo is arrested for drug possession. “When JoJo goes through his situation, I bring the cameras in,” says Run, who insisted that the issue be a learning opportunity for his son and their fans. “We’re going to take the fans through every tough time to show them how to pull together as a family.”   Um, Jojo was just arrested for possession of pot?  Interesting.

There will be two American Idol debuts to look forward to in January – the premiere of season nine and a new arrival from alum Bo Bice!   The season four contestant announced wife Caroline’s pregnancy on Friday evening at a fan club gathering in Nashville.  “American Idol has a new winner each year – seems things are the same in our house,” Bice, 33, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Can’t wait to introduce our new little ‘Idol’ to the world January 31st!”  The latest addition will be the third child for Bice and his wife, who are also parents to sons  Caleb James, 9 months, and Aiden Michael 3 ½. The couple have been married four years.   On tour throughout the summer, the rocker will open for Lynyrd Skynyrd in August.  But who is going to pay for the diapers and formula?  Isn’t he broke like a joke?

There’s a baby boom in New Jersey.   The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita is the proud new mom of a baby boy.   Nicholas Francis Laurita was born Thursday morning, PEOPLE confirms exclusively. The baby weighed in at 8 lbs. and 8oz.   Nicholas is the third child for the Housewives star, who has a 6-year-old son, CJ, with her husband Chris and a 17-year-old daughter, Ashley, from a previous marriage.   Laurita’s costar Teresa Giudice is also expecting a baby — her fourth — due in September.  Oh I do love those jersey housewives.

And finally, The party kept rocking for “The Hangover,” the first big surprise hit at the North American box office this summer, while Eddie Murphy suffered a headache with his second consecutive flop.  According to studio estimates issued on Sunday, “The  Hangover” led the field for a second weekend with ticket sales of $33.4 million across the United States and Canada. The raunchy comedy with a little-known cast becomes the first movie to retain its crown since “Madea Goes to Jail” in February.  The film also took just 10 days to hit the century mark — $105.4 million, to be exact — setting a new record for an R-rated movie. The old mark of 11 days was set last year by “Sex and the City.”  Still yet to see it, but I am dying to.

Pop Queen Britney Spears is dating her agent Jason Trawick, a source told People magazine.  “They are totally and definitely dating,” the insider said. “Her dad loves him. He’s the best thing that happened to her. … They’re very sweet together. … He makes Britney really happy, and he’s great with the boys.  Spears is divorced from Kevin Federline, the father of her two pre-school-age sons,  People.com said the singer’s publicist declined to comment on its story.   Good for her, I love it when good things happen to good people, like Britney.

Controversial beauty queen Carrie Prejean has been fired from her post as Miss California, Donald Trump and the Miss California Pageant organizers announced.  Prejean, who describes herself as a devout Christian, drew both criticism and support when she answered a question during the Miss USA pageant on same-sex marriage and said she thinks marriage should be defined as a union between a man and a woman. After the pageant, revealing photos of Prejean were leaked on the Internet.  Trump, who is co-owner of the Miss USA pageant, said at last month neither Prejean’s opinions or photos should cost her the Miss California crown.  What did cause her to lose her title, however, was she allegedly violated her contract and endorsed outside organizations without authorization from her handlers, E! News reported.  “I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” E! quoted Trump as saying. “Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen. Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests.”  Momlogic.com said first runner-up Miss Malibu Tami Farrell will now assume the role and responsibilities of Miss California.  Good it serves the hosebag right.  What have I said millions of times about naked pictures, they will surface online on day.

Designer Vera Wang is about to give TV show Dancing with the Stars a little extra style – she has reportedly signed on to foxtrot and waltz in the ninth season of the show.  Wang will be 60 when the new series kicks off later this year, according to Eonline.com.   The former Vogue editor-turned-wedding gown guru once trained to become a professional figure skater and designed outfits for ice queens Nancy Kerrigan and Michelle Kwan.   The new season of the show will premiere on September 21.  Um, isn’t she a little on the old side?  Can she still bust a move?

Model and reality television personality Kendra Wilkinson says she is pregnant with her first child.  Wilkinson, 23, and Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett, 26, announced their engagement last November. They are scheduled to marry June 27 at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles where she once lived with her ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner.  “Hank and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together,” Wilkinson, who is known for her work on the reality TV shows Girls Next Door and Kendra, told E! News. “We are touched by the outpouring of support by our family, friends and fans.”  Um, wait, you had sex before marriage?  And how is she going to breast feed with her giant fake boobs?

Little Pop Star Miley Cyrus and underwear model Justin Gaston have broken up after nine months of dating, sources close to the couple told E! News.  Cyrus, 16, ended her relationship with Gaston, 20, last week as she prepared to leave Los Angeles for two months to work on the movie “The Last Song,” which is being shot in Savannah, Georgia, an insider revealed.  Both parties are said to be upset by the split.  Cyrus’s rekindled friendship with her ex-boyfriend, 16-year-old pop star Nick Jonas, reportedly caused a strain on Cyrus’s relationship with Gaston.  “She obviously has been hanging out with Nick again a lot, and Justin was cool with it at first, as long as it was just a cool, friendly thing,” a source told E! “She didn’t cheat, but I guess Nick was trying to get her back the whole time.”  Don’t do it Nick, she is bad news.

Animated comedy show Futurama is set to return to TV screens six years after it was cancelled.  The show, created by The Simpsons mastermind Matt Groening, was axed in 2003 following a sharp decline in ratings.  Program bosses refused to give up on the series, creating four straight-to-DVD films which were aired on America’s Comedy Central network.  But bosses at U.S. network Fox have now ordered a revival of Futurama, commissioning 26 new episodes which are due to be screened in 2010.  Um are not cartoons very 1999?

And finally, bosses at animal rights group PETA want rapper  T.I to bare all after he’s released from jail – for their famous I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur campaign.  PETA leader Michelle Cho has written to Prisoner 59458-019 at Forrest City Federal Correctional Institution in Arkansas, asking him to consider flashing his flesh when he completes his five-month sentence on firearms charges.   The request comes on the heels of reports that T.I., real name Clifford Harris, Jr., asked for advice from lifestyle queen Martha Stewart, who served a five-month prison sentence on federal charges back in 2004, about how to pass the time in prison.   Um, I don’t want to see chocolate snake in my face.
