Kim Kardashian’s publicist says the reality television personality and professional football player Reggie Bush have broken up.  The couple reportedly dated for more than two years.  “Nobody cheated,” a source close to the couple told Usmagazine.com. “This is just a case of conflicting schedules and their lives going in different directions. It was a totally mutual decision.”  Bush, 24, is a running back/tailback, wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints.  What?  No More Bush and Tush?  Oh damn.

The Backstreet Boys are set to release their new album, “This is Us,” in October, Jive Records announced Tuesday.  The CD will be the seventh studio album from the group that includes Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and A.J. McLean.  For their latest effort, the singers collaborated with numerous celebrated producers and songwriters, such as T-Pain, Max Martin, RedOne, Soulshock and Karlin, Jim Jonsin and Claude Kelly.  “The end result is an indelible and finely crafted R&B and pop album from four talented musicians who love what they do and who maintain the rare relevance in an industry that often disposes of pop acts,” the group’s record label said in a news release.  “Us” is slated to drop Oct. 6.  “We’re really excited to release this new album and know that our fans are excited, too. We worked with a group of amazing artists and producers that we’ve never worked with before, exploring new sounds and territory and know the final product turned out incredible,” Carter said in a statement.  Backstreet Boys said they plan to spend the second half of 2009 and all of 2010 on the road. A European tour has already been announced and a full North American headlining tour will be announced shortly, the group said. Um, is it a little awkward they are all over 30 and they are still called Backstreet Boys?  I think so.

 

 

 

 

 

Coldplay’s publicist says the British rock band have agreed to lend their voices and likenesses for an appearance on the animated U.S. series “The Simpsons.”   The group will be featured in an episode in which Homer wins the lottery and has the musicians play a private concert for him and his son, Bart, the BBC said.   ”When Bart goes to the bathroom, Coldplay has to stop,” executive producer Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly.   The show, which is to begin airing its 21st season in September, has previously featured guest spots by recording stars such as U2, Sting, Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash, Elton John and The Moody Blues.  It really is an honor Coldplay, don’t F it up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jessica Simpson seems to be doing fine following her breakup with Tony Romo. On Monday night, Simpson went to a listening party for An-Ya, a Russian pop singer signed to Joe Simpson’s music label and ended up walking away with a $10,000 5-carat ring, E News Reports. Party host and jeweler Pascal Mouawad gave her the ring absolutely free. Perhaps breaking up isn’t so hard to do when you’re Simpson.  “If you didn’t already know Jessica just went through a breakup, you really would have no way of telling from the way she was behaving at the event,” an eyewitness told E! News. “She really seemed happy.”  Even though Simpson refused to talk to any press while at the event, Joe Simpson says his daughter is doing fine. “She’s good. She’s doing very good,” he said.   Hum, tick, tick, tick, isn’t her 15 minutes over yet?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jude Law is going to be a dad again. “Jude Law can confirm that, following a relationship last year, he has been advised that he is to be the father of a child due in the fall of this year. Mr. Law is no longer in a relationship with the individual concerned but he intends to be a fully supportive part of the child’s life,” his spokesperson said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly.   Wow, that is kind of shady.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twilight fans are used to the renegade vampire Victoria causing trouble for lovers Bella and Edward, but come the third installment of the film series; they may be taken aback by Bryce Dallas Howard baring her fangs in the role.   That’s right: The 28-year-old daughter of director Ron Howard will be replacing Rachelle Lefevre, 30, who took on the role for the first film and its upcoming sequel, New Moon.  “Rachelle brought Victoria to great screen life, and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the  character,”says Erik Feig, president of worldwide production and acquisitions for Summit Entertainment. “The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role.”  Yeah, I am still not interested in this whole Twilight Bullshit.  I just can’t get on that bandwagon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perfecting his golf game and carting around TV cameras, Kevin Federline took a day off daddy duty Monday – conceding that after years of legal wrangling Kevin Federline, things are calming down.   “To watch them grow is great,” Federline says of his sons Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2, at Ryan Scheckler’s X Games Celebrity Skins Classic just outside L.A. “It’s been quite a journey to get to where we are. But I’m really happy with the way everything is going.”   He adds, “They have a fun everything! They’re into tigers, lions and dinosaurs, and all that.”  Um, was K-Fed valeting cars at the Celebrity Skins Classic?  Because he isn’t a celebrity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, “American Idol” auditions are just two weeks away, and a deal for judge Paula Abdul has at best, stalled, and at worst is all but D.O.A.  “There’s an offer on the table, but it’s not one that Paula is happy with,” said a source close to the singer. “She sees the big money Ryan Seacrest got; she knows that Simon is close to a huge deal, too. She feels like it’s personal that she’s not getting the same big numbers,” said the source.  Some wonder if Abdul’s past difficult behavior might have something to do with the pace at which things are moving. “There are times where she’d be running late, times when she’d be tired of al l the traveling. There were times, frankly, when it seemed like she could be on the verge of quitting,” says a former assistant of Abdul’s. “I’m sure she has never wanted to leave the show in a literal sense, but sometimes there is that appearance.”    Oh I bet if you double the offer, or add a couple of vicodine to the table she will sign on the dotted line.

Happy Monday kiddies and away I go.

A 23-year-old man has been arrested in the death of “American Idol” castoff Alexis Cohen, police in New Jersey said Monday.   Cohen, who earned some notoriety for yelling at the judges during her failed auditions for Seasons 7 and 8 of the singing competition series, was struck by a car and killed last weekend in the New Jersey shore town of Seaside Heights. Her body reportedly was discovered by two pedestrians near her car. She was 25.   TMZ said Daniel Bark has been arrested and charged with death by reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.   Bark faces a maximum of 15 years in prison, if convicted, the entertainment news Web site noted.  Oh that sucks totally, I remember her.

 

 

 

 

Singer Chris Brown has checked into the same New York hotel as his singer girlfriend Rihanna despite a restraining order against him, hotel sources say.   The New York Post said Sunday while a Los Angeles restraining order bars Brown from having contact with Rihanna, unidentified hotel sources said both stars checked into the Trump International Hotel & Tower on the same day.   The sources said the two singers are staying in separate rooms since Friday’s check-in and have been transported to and from the site in separate chauffeured vehicles.   Brown, 20, has already pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault in relation to a Feb. 8 domestic altercation with Rihanna, 21, in Los Angeles.   The presiding judge in Brown’s assault case ordered the “Exclusive” singer to remain at least 50 yards away from Rihanna at all times unless they both attend a music industry event. At such events, the two singers must remain 10 yards apart.   The Post said Brown is expected to receive a plea deal agreement of 1,400 hours of community service and required domestic-violence counseling at his Aug. 5 sentencing.  OMG Run Rihanna, run the other way.  He is bad news.

 

 

 

 

Country music singer LeAnn Rimes and her husband Dean Sheremet are separated and living in different homes, a Rimes friend says.   The unidentified source said Rimes, 26, and Sheremet, 36, were attempting to work on their relationship while apart, People.com reported Friday.   ”Le and Dean have been separated for quite some time now, but they’re continuing to try and work through their relationship,” the source said.   The news of the country singer’s separation comes four months after Rimes was romantically linked to actor Eddie Cibrian.   The anonymous Rimes friend said in March that Cibrian, 36, was not behind the couple’s marital woes.   ”There have been issues brewing for months prior to meeting Eddie on set,” the source said.   People.com said a Tennessee home owned by Rimes and Sheremet, who married in 2002, is up for sale at $7.45 million.  See former fatties always think they can do better.

 

 

 

 

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office will almost certainly list the cause of singer Michael Jackson’s death as homicide, law enforcement sources told TMZ.  Jackson died June 25 after going into cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home. The results of tests performed on the 50-year-old entertainer’s body are to be released next week.  The expectation of a likely homicide ruling is based on a draft of the autopsy report, as well as what is being described as “clear evidence” that natural, accidental, accidental overdose and suicide have been ruled out as causes of Jackson’s death, the law enforcement sources told TMZ.  Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, is under investigation. Media reports claim he allegedly administered the anesthesia Propofol to Jackson the day he died. Murray reportedly has been interviewed by police and his offices have been searched.   Yeah, the shiznit has not even begun to hit the fan yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As her estranged husband gallivants around New York City and the Hamptons with other women, Kate Gosselin has taken a more subtle step toward a new life: She’s removed her wedding band.   The reality star was photographed Friday for the first time without her ring during a coffee run near her Pennsylvania home.   Just last month, removing the ring seemed like a symbolic gesture that the mother of eight was not yet ready to make. “I haven’t taken off my ring,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “It would devastate my kids. It’s not necessary. I was looking at it while I was in the shower this morning, and I thought, I’m not taking it off. I’m not ready.”  How long before she starts dating girls with her bulldyke haircut?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its official: Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle have broken up. “Yes, it’s true, they have broken up,” Brad Cafarelli, Belle’s rep, confirmed Monday. “There is no third party involved and they care deeply about each other and will remain friends.”   The 19-year-old rock star, known for his energetic performances, was reportedly visibly saddened during a Jonas Brothers concert in Detroit last night, especially when he sang “Much Better,” a song he penned after he began dating Belle, 22, last fall.   The song is about a girlfriend who is “much better” than a previous girlfriend. The song is widely believed to be a dig at Taylor Swift who very publically dissed him after he broke up with her.   Though neither Jonas or Belle ever confirmed that they were dating, Jonas was often seen going out to lunch with the 10,000 B.C. actress. The two met last September while filming the Jonas Brothers’ music video “Lovebug.” Jonas broke up with Swift soon after meeting Belle but made it clear in a blog on the Jonas Brothers’ MySpace page, which he never cheated on anyone.  Listen as this one was not over text message, it is all good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uber-Ass Kim Kardashian may not be ready to have kids just yet, but the reality star says that motherhood is in her future one way or another.   “I think it is such a very unselfish and amazing thing to do,” she told PEOPLE at a question and answer session – “The Kardashians: Up Close and Personal” – at the Hilton hotel in Atlantic City Saturday night. “If I couldn’t have kids, I probably would adopt. If I could have my own, I would have my own.”   In the meantime, Kardashian says she’s looking for new home, but does not plan to move in with her boyfriend, NFL star Reggie Bush, any time soon.  I hope that her kids do not inherit her giant ass though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, Jennifer Lopez is denying reports that she’s in the running to replace American Idol judge Paula Abdul, who still has not signed a contract with Idol producers to return for season 8 of the FOX hit singing competition.   A rep for Lopez tells PEOPLE exclusively, “The rumor of Jennifer Lopez throwing herself in the ring to take over for Paula Abdul is completely false. Jennifer loves Idol but just as a fan. She just wrapped the feature film The Back-Up Plan, due out January 2010, and will release an album then as well.”  Lopez who turned 40 on Friday on Friday and her rep adds, “This weekend Jen is celebrating her birthday with friends and family.”  The reports surfaced after Lopez and Idol host Ryan Seacrest were spotted having dinner at Madeo in Los Angeles earlier this month. Seacrest told paparazzi outside Madeo that “Jennifer and Paula would be a hell of a combination” on the show.

Happy Wednesday Kiddies and away I go.

U.S. drug enforcement agents and Los Angeles police on Wednesday raided a Houston clinic owned by Conrad Murray, the doctor who was with pop icon Michael Jackson when he died, searching for information on the singer’s use of the anesthetic, propofol.  Agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration entered the Armstrong Medical Clinic in north Houston to serve a search warrant in an effort to help Los Angeles police probing the death of the “Thriller” singer, said Rusty Payne, a Washington-based spokesperson for the agency.  Payne declined to give details because the Texas search warrant remained sealed.  A Los Angeles police spokeswoman confirmed that their detectives served the warrant with the assistance of the DEA, but declined to say what investigators were looking for.  One law enforcement official, who declined to be named, said the focus of the search was the strong narcotic propofol, also known as Diprivan, which has repeatedly been named in media reports as a drug Jackson was said to be taking before he died on June 25.  Murray’s attorney, Ed Chernoff, was not immediately available to comment, but said in a statement posted on his website on Tuesday that his client was continuing to cooperate with investigators looking into the cause of Jackson’s death.  Wow, I have a weird feeling the shit is about to hit the fan.

Eddie Cibrian’s wife Brandi Glanville confirms she has left him amid reports the actor is having an affair with married singer-actress Leann Rimes.  Cibrian and Rimes recently co-starred in the Lifetime television movie “Northern Lights.”  “Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart,” Glanville told Usmagazine.com. “I want to do what is best for our children. Eddie and LeAnn deserve each other.”  Cibrian has two young children, ages 6 and 2, with Glanville. Rimes has been married for seven years to Dean Sheremet.  E! News quoted Rimes as denying she is having an affair with Cibrian.  Rimes reportedly has not responded to Glanville’s remarks regarding her alleged involvement in Cibrian and Glanville’s breakup.  Oh no, that’s not good.

Kiefer Sutherland has been cleared of head butting a fashion designer after the case was dropped by officials.  The 24 star was accused of attacking stylist Jack McCullough for no reason in New York in May. McCollough was hospitalized with a broken nose after the alleged encounter.  Sutherland maintained he accosted the designer after he barged past actress pal Brooke Shields, who backed up the TV star’s story, calling the incident “unfortunate.”   Sutherland was due to appear in court on Friday to face the charges, but the trial date was pushed back until further notice.   Now the Manhattan District Attorney has scrapped the trial altogether because officials consider the accusations too small to be considered a level of criminal behavior.  How come if I head butted someone, I would be in jail.  Shady Kiefer, super shady.

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s publicist is denying a report claiming the television actress is engaged to her beau, actor and comedian Jamie Kennedy.  The couple, who co-star on TV’s “Ghost Whisperer,” have dated for less than a year.  The New York Post said Kennedy proposed to Hewitt on-stage during his stand-up comedy show at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, Calif., last weekend. The newspaper also said the actress agreed to be his bride.  “There is no truth to the report,” Hewitt’s representative told Usmagazine.com.  And to think I once had a crush on her.  Man, has she changed.

Little Miss Britney Spears could soon regain control of her financial affairs – her father Jamie is reportedly ready to give up his duties as her legal guardian.  Spears’ father was made conservator of her estate after her 2008 meltdown which led to the star being taken to hospital for psychiatric evaluation.   Jamie filed a legal document last month certifying he had obtained a $1.5 million bond to keep her assets from being pillaged and ensure he would remain her financial guardian until the end of the year.   A judge will then review the terms of the arrangement – and a new report from TMZ.com suggests the elder Spears believes his daughter, who is currently touring the world with her Circus show, has proved she can now take care of herself without the legal arrangement.   Vendors on Spears’ tour have been told the conservatorship will remain throughout the trek, which ends in November.  Woohoo, that’s a huge step in the right direction, way to go Britney.

It sounds like the fake belly bump Jennifer Lopez is wearing for her new movie The Back-Up Plan is giving her some ideas.   The singer-actress admits that she and her husband Marc Anthony would like to give their 18-month-old twins Emme and Max a sibling or two. “I would love to have more kids,” the actress tells Extra Television. “I don’t know if we will. I don’t know if that’s in the cards for us – but we’ll see.”   Lopez, who turns 40 on Friday, also opens up about the joys of watching her twins grow up. “They’re more than walking now … They’re starting to talk,” she says. “I put Max to bed yesterday … and I said, ‘I love you baby. I’ll see you tomorrow.’ And he was like, ‘I love you.’ “As long as her ass does not get any bigger, than she is golden.

Speaking of J-Lo – Marc Anthony has a new project in the works – and it’s not musical: The singer has become a partial owner of the Miami Dolphins, Anthony tells PEOPLE exclusively.   “I’m a huge sports fan,” says Anthony, 40. “These opportunities don’t come around too often. It’s quite an honor and a privilege to be able to sit here today saying that I’m a part-owner of an NFL team.”   Anthony struck a deal with Stephen Ross, the New York-based real estate entrepreneur who bought a 95-percent stake in the Dolphins franchise in January. The singer did not disclose the financial terms. “It would have probably been cheaper just to buy season tickets,” he said, joking.  Wow, now that is a new way to make more money.

And finally, After a four-year hiatus, VH1 will bring back the legendary live concert event “VH1 Divas” by featuring some of pop music’s most talented female artists – Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus. The “VH1 Divas” concert will be televised live on VH1 on Thursday, September 17 at 9:00pm.  For the first time ever, these leading ladies at the top of their musical game will perform together live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York. Continuing in true “Divas” tradition, the evening will feature a night of unforgettable performances from various performers, presenters and special guests. Additional performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.  Um, yeah is it just me, or does Miley Cyrus not belong along with these great women in music.
