‘Jersey Shore’ Producers — They’re All Expendable
Jul 21st
TMZ broke the story … members of the cast went on strike yesterday, refusing to shoot over the weekend for Season 3.
Jersey Shore
Sources connected with 495 Productions tell TMZ the cast is ultimately hurting the show. As one source put it, “The show is not about famous rich people with managers coming to the Shore.”
495 would like to keep a few of the cast members — notably The Situation, Snooki and Pauly D — but they think the strike by the cast is the last straw.
We’re told the cast feels like they’ve been tricked, because they felt their contract — which gives each of them $10,000 an episode — was only supposed to cover Season 2 in Miami. They feel they’re being screwed now that producers want them to go to the Shore and shoot another installment under the existing deal.
As we first reported, The Situation is being tempted with a sweet new contract and we’re told it’s pissed off some of the other cast as well as the crew.
Here’s the rub … Sources say MTV thinks they have “magic in a bottle” with this group and wants to keep the cast intact.
A rep for MTV had no comment.
Photo of Oksana Grigorieva after she says Mel Gibson punched her in the mouth has been RELEASED!
Jul 17th
It is the photograph everyone has been waiting to see.
Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson
It is the evidence that could be used to bring criminal charges against Oscar-winner Mel Gibson.
In a blockbuster world exclusive radaronline.com has exclusively obtained a disturbing picture of Oksana Grigorieva taken just hours after she claims Gibson punched her in the face. The photograph is part of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigation into the actor for domestic violence. It’s also included in Oksana’s declaration to the court in the estranged couple’s vicious custody battle over their eight-month-old daughter Lucia.
The image shows the damage to the Russian-born musician’s front teeth after the couple’s brutal blowout at Mel’s Malibu mansion on January 6. More >
Lindsay Lohan’s Jail Sentence: Best. Thing. Ever. For Us, Anyway
Jul 7th
Finally.
Lindsay
We don’t mean finally as in we’re glad Lindsay Lohan’s finally going to jail. We mean finally as in we’re glad we’re finally being set free.
From Lohan.
Do you know how long it’s been since the onetime teen queen of Hollywood has been making headlines for being dehydrated, or being arrested, or being sued, or being on probation, or for doing all those things all over again?
Nearly six long years.
We don’t know if jail will be the just the thing for Lohan to become who she said she was at Monday’s court hearing. We don’t know if it’ll be just the thing to push her toward a Robert Downey Jr. moment of redemption.
All we know is that the Lohan franchise, like the Batman one once, is in serious want of a reboot. More >
Elin Nordegren Just Got Paid
Jul 3rd
Elin Nordegren will walk away from her marriage with Tiger Woods with approximately $100 million.
As one source with direct knowledge of the terms of the divorce tells TMZ, “She’ll be getting close to $100,000,000.” There have been reports Elin would score $750 million, but we have confirmed that figure is wrong. Indeed, as we first reported, Tiger is not even worth $750 million. We’re told his net worth is somewhere between $500 and $600 million.
The $100 million is way more than Elin would have received under the prenup. Sources say Elin will receive child support, but we do not know the specific amount.
As for the $100 million figure… this is not speculation… it comes from sources with direct knowledge of the property settlement agreement.
To put this in some perspective, Elin will be getting 10 times what Rachel Uchitel scored from Tiger.

Elin Nordegren is About to Make $750,000,000 (part 2)
Jul 1st
ELIN NORDEGREN, 30, gets the biggest payout ever seen in a celebrity divorce.
Tiger & his ex-family
“The price of the huge sum is her silence: no interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life - even if Tiger dies first – or she’ll lose the lot.”
A pal said: “Tiger’s main fear is her telling her story after he’s rebuilt his reputation, sending him back to the gutter.”
Under the no-girlfriends deal, only married women not romantically linked to Tiger will be allowed around the children – plus female members of staff known to Elin.
Britney Abused Her Children
Jul 1st
TROUBLED pop star BRITNEY SPEARS faces a probe into allegations that she abused her two sons.
Britney Spears and her children
Social workers will quiz her over claims she beat one with a belt and gave both food they were allergic to – making them violently ill.
Investigators were approached by the singer’s former bodyguard FERNANDO FLORES – who claims he was forced to quit his job due to Britney’s erratic behavior.
It is understood that the 28-year-old star strongly denies the claims and insists she has never mistreated four-year-old SEAN PRESTON and JAYDEN JAMES, three.
But Flores, 29, has told the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services he feels Britney is too unstable to be left in charge of her sons. More >
Nobody is perfect – Part I
Jun 30th
The roaming gaze of the Internet usually looks with approval upon Megan Fox, but today, at least according to Google, the web can only focus on one thing: she’s got kinda stubby thumbs.
Actress Jennifer Garner has an overlapping pinky toe.
Actor Vince Vaughn lost the tip of his thumb in a car crash, when he was 17 years old.
Actor/Comedian Damon Wayans had a clubbed foot as a child.
CSI actor Robert David Hall is missing both of his legs. In 1978, Hall had to have both of his legs amputated as a result of an accident in which an 18-wheeler truck crushed his car. The accident also caused the gasoline tank of the car to explode, causing burns over 65% of his body. He now comfortably uses prosthetic limbs, allowing for personal mobility.

She’s rich. She’s talented. She’s beautiful.
Jolie & Pitt
And now Angelina Jolie is the most powerful celebrity in the world.
Thanks to the release of several blockbuster movies and an endless sea of media buzz, Jolie has dethroned Oprah Winfrey to top this year’s Celebrity 100 list, Forbes’ annual ranking of the world’s ultra famous.
Jolie raked in $27 million in the past 12 months thanks to a movie schedule that included Kung Fu Panda, Wanted and the not-yet-released spy thriller Salt. Even more impressive: More >
Kristen Stewart: Twilight Connects To Real – Life Virgins… Now really? :)
Jun 26th
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson‘s Eclipse characters, 
Bella and Edward, essentially have three or so movies of virginal eternal longing for each other; they never quite go all the way (except in Breaking Dawn, which Melissa Rosenberg swears she’s penning as quite sexy… but more on that later).
When we talked to the stars of Eclipse at last night’s premiere at the L.A. Film Festival, we threw it out there to the cast: do you think the longing and self-control the main characters exhibit when it comes to sex is something high-schoolers can actually relate to these days? Here’s what Rob, Kristen, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz had to say… More >
Paris Hilton + Lindsay Lohan = XOXO
Jun 25th
Yeah… I’m pretty sure Paris isn’t doing this because she wants all the publicity Lindsay will get her, because she is the one who is still as famous/infamous as she used to be… and I’m Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus. So the story goes like this:
Lindsay & Paris
Paris Hilton has mended her friendship with Lindsay Lohan and is trying to help the troubled actress get her life back together! The two have had a tumultuous relationship over the years, but pals say the 29-year-old blonde socialite is deeply concerned for her pal and is determined to help her.
“Paris is worried that Lindsay has hit rock bottom and doesn’t want something terrible to happen to her,” an insider divulged. “She wants to put the past behind them. Paris texted Lindsay, and they’ve talked. Both she and Paris promised to make a fresh start. Paris definitely understands what Lindsay is going through,” said the insider. “She’s been to jail and wants Lindsay to get help before she ends there or somewhere worse.”
