1 week ago
A second masseur with allegations of sexual battery and harassment has come forward against John Travolta. But does either accuser have any merit?
The second plaintiff suing the actor is represented by Pasadena, Calif., attorney Okorie Okorocha, who also reps the original John Travolta accuser.
Both have chosen to remain anonymous, at least for now.

Hulk Hogan on Sex Tape Partner Identity: Got Me!
2 months ago
A new sex tape has surfaced that stars Hulk Hogan giving his multiple-inch python to an anonymous brunette. The former wrestling legend doesn’t deny its existence.
But when asked by TMZ yesterday to identify the woman in the video, Hogan pleaded ignorance and cited a four-month alcohol/banging binge he went on between the period of divorcing long-time wife Linda and meeting new wife Jennifer McDaniel.
“During that time, I don’t even remember people’s names, much less girls,” the Hulkster told the site.
Hogan claims to have no clue who is selling the tape, but – despite urging from Vivid

Jimmy Kimmel Presents Movie: The Movie!
2 months ago
The Artist won Best Motion Picture. Pretty good for a movie that’s black and white and silent. Which is just the way Kim Kardashian likes her men.
So Jimmy Kimmel joked during his post-Academy Awards telecast last night, as the talk show host both honored the Oscars and also mocked the heck out of the star-studded ceremony.
Never was the latter more apparent than in Kimmel’s nine minute trailer for Movie: The Movie, a movie that encapsulates every conceivable Hollywood genre and also features every actor or actress on the planet, from Tom Hanks portraying Robo Lawyer to Gary Oldman as a

Natalee Holloway was declared legally dead Thursday by a judge in her home state of Alabama. She mysteriously vanished in Aruba more than six years ago.
Probate judge Alan King made the ruling at the request of Holloway’s father.

With no evidence to the contrary, Natalee Holloway is legally deceased.
The ruling comes just one day after longtime suspect Joran van

“He’s not going to be vilified,” an insider told the tabloid. “Kris knows his rights. He will sue.”
Humphries is especially upset at last Sunday’s episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, as he thinks it’s “noticeable” that Kim’s negative quotes about “married life” were voiceovers added well

4 months ago
Casey Anthony claims the video diaries that leaked online last week were stolen from her computer by a malicious hacker of unknown origin, reports say.
That’s according to a probation officer at the Florida Department of Corrections, which is overseeing Casey’s case. For check fraud. Not the murder thing.
The embattled 25-year-old made this claim during her recent meeting with her P.O., insisting someone illegally downloaded the clips off of her computer.
She then, unintentionally, returned to the public eye in this video:

Casey Anthony Video Diary: Possibly Hacked, Definitely Her

Plenty of questions surround the strange Casey Anthony video diary, which mysteriously surfaced online a day ago, but two things are crystal clear:
1. Everyone’s talking about it, and 2. The whole thing is bizarre.
No one seems to know why Anthony would record the thing, but even more strange is the lack of information regarding its release and Casey’s role in that.
It almost magically appeared in the Facebook ether without explanation, even by the person who posted it. Even that anonymous person pleads ignorance.
The video is taken in mirror image, thus

She has been tested every week since then, however, and hasn’t had another positive test … which is actually a fairly impressive feat for Jenelle.
“Jenelle is doing really well,” her lawyer Dustin Sullivan said after today’s hearing. “She completed her parenting class and her anger management More >

Chaz Bono to Die Young From Gender Reassignment, Tabloid Claims; DWTS Star Threatens Lawsuit
6 months ago
Will Chaz Bono die young because he became a man?
That’s the implication of a story in the National Enquirer. One that has him threatening to sue, claiming the article is a “smear campaign” and “blatantly false.”
The “story” is plastered right on cover of the November 11 issue with a headline that screams, “Chaz Bono: ONLY 4 YEARS TO LIVE.” Pretty overt, and awful.
The article cites “expert” opinions about Chaz’s weight, stress and medication linked with gender reassignment, concluding he’ll likely kick it by 2015.
The Dancing With the Stars cast member, understandably, is royally pissed,
