Angelina Pivarnick Sued For Taj Mahal Mauling

Angelina Pivarnick, formerly of Jersey Shore, is fairly used to being smacked around by JWoww and Snooki. Now she's been slapped in a different way.
With a lawsuit.
Ange's alleged "violent assault" on a female clubgoer before a Celebrity Boxing match in New Jersey last month is the reason for the legal fisticuffs.
Easy A
Melissa Mayne claims she was leaving a nightclub at the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino when she bumped into Angelina ... who was on her way to box.
Mayne claims Angelina punched her grill, shoved her and threw a glass in her face. She also snatched her phone and threw it across the room. Ouch!
She is also going after the hotel, claiming this went down in front of Trump security guards, who did not intervene or "even attempt to stop" Pivarnick.
Angelina was likely just trying to remain relevant, given that the Jersey Shore season premiere was the biggest episode yet - sans her annoying a$$.
She's suing Pivarnick, who's seeking a new reality show, for unspecified damages.

Kendall Jenner: Haute for Marc Clarke

Wearing more clothing than she donned during her controversial bikini shoot in July, Kendall Jenner poses for a new line of Marc Clarke t-shirts.
Says the designer of his 15-year old subject: "Kendall is an up-and-coming talent... She has a great personality. I think she has a really bright future ahead of her in modeling."
Kendall sure hopes so. She's on record as saying her dream job is "to model for Chanel." With the greatest publicity team in Hollywood behind her, this actually is a frightening possibility.

Victoria Beckham: Pregnant with Fourth Child!

I look at David naked and think, 'You done good, girl!' - Victoria Beckham to Marie Claire last month.
The woman formerly known as Posh Spice did more than just look at her husband naked recently, as this couple has announced its expecting its fourth child in the spring.
The Beckhams

The model and soccer star have been married for 11 years.

Lindsay Lohan: Mentored By Tom Hardy

Actor Tom Hardy starred in Inception among other films. Now he's taking on a far more difficult challenge in play mentor to Lindsay Lohan.
Someone is trying to plant an idea in her head about how to stay sober. That's a good thing, and a fellow patient might be the best route.
She needs someone she respects and with whom she can truly relate. Otherwise, we might see Lindsay Lohan wasted again before long.
Tom Hardy PicLinds in Trouble
LiLo has a struck a friendship with Hardy recently after the pair were introduced by a mutual friend. They even met for dinner one night last week.
Tom is giving now Lindsay advice on how to stay sober and sources say that believe it or not, Lindsay is actually seriously really listening to him.
Hardy famously battled addiction early on his career and has been clean since 2003. We wish both the best of luck in their continued sobriety.

Denise Richards and Nikki Sixx: It's Already Over!

Brace yourself, THG readers. An iconic Hollywood couple has broken up.
Following a month of dating, Denise Richards and Nikki Sixx have called it a relationship, with a source close to Charlie Sheen's ex saying the fling was never serious.
Denise Richards and Nikki Sixx
"They were never exclusive or serious to begin with!" says an insider. "I could count on my hand how many times they went out. They decided to try it and she was not intereste. That's dating! This isn't some big, dramatic split."
Hey, speak for yourself, anonymous source. We thought these two would be the next Brangelina.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Sophia Bush Reveal Connections to Gabrielle Giffords Shooting, Offer Condolences

For a pair of actresses, Saturday's tragic shooting in Tuscon was extra personal.
Both Gwyneth Paltrow and Sophia Bush had connections to victims of the incident, as the Country Strong actress is actually cousins with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, although the two have never met.
“Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting congresswoman Giffords, my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as well as the other victims of this horrible act of senseless violence," Paltrow told Entertainment Tonight.
GwynethOTH Actress
Tweeted the One Tree Hill star, who the second cousin of Christina Green, a nine-year-old girl killed during the attack that was born on 9/11/01 and who was the granddaughter of former baseball manager Dallas Green:
“There are no words to explain what my cousin’s family is going through in Arizona. How can this be? Violence is never the answer."
Jared Loughner has been charged in the shooting, while President Obama has called for a national moment of silence today at 11 a.m. EST in honor of the victims.

Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr Welcome Baby Boy!

It's a boy! Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom welcomed their first child, a son, in L.A. on Thursday, a source close to the couple confirmed.
After dating for nearly three years, the Australian Victoria's Secret model and British Lord of the Rings star secretly married in early July.
A few weeks later, news broke that Kerr was expecting, too. In September's issue of Spanish Vogue, she said she was "four months" along.

"I've always been open about wanting to be a mother, and I've always thought Orlando would be a great dad," Kerr told Sydney's Morning Herald.
The catwalker also added that she has no plans to retire.
"I think having children and pregnancy is a part of life, I look at how models like Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio have done it."
Congratulations to the happy couple and new family!

Whoa: Lucid Amy Winehouse Surfaces in Brazil

Amy Winehouse took to the mic in South America this weekend to do what she does best. Actually, wait, she was there to sing, not snort coke.
The 27-year-old singer performed in Brazil the other night and didn't collapse, flash her private parts or bungle the entire set. Wild, we know.
Dressed in a pink and white gingham dress which a dipping chest neck line, Amy wore her hair in a ponytail and not her trademark beehive:
Amy Winehouse Cleavage Shot
WELCOME BACK: Who knew Wino was still alive! Nice!
The Back to Black singer belted out a number of tunes from her collection and performed a number of covers at the Summer Soul Festival in Florianopolis.
At this point, it's been just over four years since she released her Grammy-winning album Back To Black. Still waiting for that much-anticipated follow-up.
One piece of advice would be to ditch her now ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil. It's unclear if that dude is back in the picture or not. Here's hoping for not.

Sandra Bullock & Ryan Reynolds: The Secret Getaway!

If newly-single stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are just friends, they have a funny way of showing it. Well, if this report is true at least.
The A-listers, who co-starred in The Proposal, have been making top-secret getaways to her home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, reports indicate.
The actors were publicly spotted on New Year's Eve in Austin, Texas, after which they denied they are dating and said they are just friends. But ...
Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock Pic
These two are making news as it is. Imagine if this were true!
A source with knowledge of the situation claims that the two "are very much dating, and trying to keep a low profile." Tabloid dreams? Maybe realized!
Fresh off her divorce from Jesse James and his surprise split from wife Scarlett Johansson, Sandra and Ryan are understandably wary of going public.
Enter Bullock's secluded Jackson Hole residence.
Sandy has owned the home for  years, and loves that she's left alone there. "She feels very comfortable having Ryan there with her," a source said.
"Sandy and Ryan are just enjoying spending time together ... They have known each other for years and already they have a built-in familiarity."
"It's great to see Sandy with a true smile on her face. Ryan has made at least two trips to Jackson Hole, and her friends except more to come."
Anybody believe this is true and Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock are actually a couple? Doubtful. Anybody want to believe it? You know it!

Kate Middleton Wedding Outfit: Did She Boob?

How did Phaedra Parks and Apollo outdo Kate Middleton and Prince William on The Real Housewives of Atlanta this week? Let's find out from our show correspondent, who has reviewed the latest installment of this Bravo series...
Phaedra prepped for Aydan's baby debut by hosting a (traditional Southern?) "Sip & See" party. Not only is Phaedra a lawyer/businesswoman/Renaissance Goddess, but she's also Atlanta's answer to Martha Stewart.
Chatting with Apollo, she worried that her guests may just be attending the party for gossip material.  Apparently, Atlanta is "Haterville" and since Phaedra and Apollo are too fabulous for words, they're on everyone's hit list.
Introducing Ayden
Cynthia and 50-year-old Peter had a tense dinner at home.  Sipping wine from a bottle with a twist-off cap (because nothing says elegance like some Julio Gallo wine), 50-year-old Peter shared his worries with Cynthia. 
Uptown, 50-year-old Peter's supper club, is in trouble since investors for the club are dropping like flies. Discussing their financial troubles over a glass of wine, Cynthia advised 50-year-old Pete to sell the club in order to have enough money for their wedding.  Prickly Pete bristled at the idea and Cynthia started to fester.
Over at Phaedra's shindig, Dwight introduced the "royal family." All the ladies were in attendance.  Even Kim showed up to make nice with Phaedra.  Kim fawned over baby Aydan and all of Phaedra's worries about Kim creating drama were for naught.  Phaedra had a long chat with Kim on the terrace. 
Phaedra grilled Kim about being a registered nurse and Kim actually pulled out the paperwork to prove it.  If the state of Connecticut saw fit to license Kim, then that's good enough for Queen Phaedra.  Let the "two-facedness" cease!
Nene checked in at 11 Alive and started taping some station IDs and taglines for her "Keeping It Real With Nene" segments.
Kim and Sweetie started packing for Kim's upcoming promo tour with Kandi.  Kim managed to weasel Sweetie into giving her B-12 shots in preparation for Kim's "rigorous" tour schedule.  Fugly Brielle had a breakdown when she found out Mom and Sweetie will both be gone for seven days.  Kim explained to her that Mam is now a big pop star and has to make a living.  Brielle should be thankful for a week of peace and quiet.
Kandi and Kim had their first radio show interview in Charlotte.  It's been 10 years since Kandi's last solo album, so the record label thought smaller clubs were the best way to start.
Don Juan, Kandi's tour manager, rubs Kim the wrong way.  Kim doesn't like the regiment imposed by Don Juan.  Comparing it to a military operation, ADD-stricken Kim doesn't like rules and regulations thrown her way.  Kim especially doesn't like the tour bus "situation."  Bunks?  No smoking?  Barely enough room to pee, much less breathe?  Here comes trouble.
Talk to Kim's Hand!
Nene brought Brent to her Jermaine Dupri interview for moral support.  Nene towered over the monosyllabic "little munchkin."  Instructed by Jermaine's publicist to not ask anything about Janet Jackson, Nene struggled to hold a decent conversation with him.
Finally, the ice was broken when Nene brought up Kim's "Tardy for the Party." Jermaine then took Nene on a tour of the house. When Nene took off her seven-inch heels, she was almost the same height as Jermaine. She shot hoops with him.
Stopping at the Thirsty Beaver Saloon for a drink, Don Juan managed to further piss off Kim by misinterpreting the lyrics of "The Ring Didn't Mean A Thing."  Big Poppa, adultery and cheating are not topics to be discussed around pristine Kim.  How dare Don Juan ruin Kim's tour buzz!
Cynthia and 50-year-old Peter got counseling from Hill Harper.  Not only is he the CSI: NY guy, but a relationship expert as well.  Maybe he can dissect what's wrong with these two because all is not well in La La land.  Cynthia wants her money back from her investment in Uptown and Prickly Pete is upset that Cynthia can't grasp the concept of what marriage and compromise mean.  This does not bode well.  Cynthia and Prickly Pete's lack of communication may end up jeopardizing Cynthia's dream wedding.
Kandi and Kim arrived at Club Tempo for their big gig.  Kim ran around like a chicken without a head, chain-smoking and boozing it up, while Kandi just wanted a few moments of peace before the show.  Good luck with that!  Kim didn't seem to realize that this is not the happy-go-lucky-love-the-tranny-queen-Kim gay crowd.  This is hip-hop and hip-hop don't play.
But surprise, surprise, Kim acted like Kim, went off-course and the crowd still loved her!  Oh yeah... and Kandi did an acapella version of "Haven't Loved Right" and floored Club Tempo as well.

Next stop: Orlando.  But not before some more whining from Kim regarding the bunks.  Life on the road is such a bitch!


Kate Middleton Wedding Outfit: Did She Boob?

Last month, a tabloid pretended that Kate Middleton was in crisis, mostly due to a few leaked photos that depicted her family in an embarrassing situation.
But this story is very real, and very troubling: the princess-to-be was spotted at a wedding in Boroughbridge, donning an ensemble that many in the British press considered too revealing.
Too Sheer?Kate Middleton Wedding Outfit
Based on the sheer top above, British newspaper News of the World wondered if William's fiancee went bra-lass, headlining a front-page article with: "Did Kate Boob?"
It's a pressing question, one answered by Royal Watcher Katie Nicholl, who told Us Weekly: "Kate doesn't have a stylist, so she is making her own fashion decisions at the moment. The outfit could be considered racy, but it was also beautiful and elegant."

Demi Lovato Thanks Fans for Support, Award

Due to her stint in a treatment center, Demi Lovato could not attend this month's People's Choice Awards.
But that didn't stop fans from voting her their favorite guest star for her role on Grey's Anatomy; and anointing Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam as their favorite family TV movie.
A People's Choice Award Winner
In response, on her official Facebook page, the young singer has written:
"I wish to thank all the friends and fans who voted for me for the People's Choice Awards and the Hot Hits Hottest Teen Stars of 2010. I want to make sure my fans know how thankful I am for all their love, support and prayers during this difficult time. Thank you for standing beside me through it all."
There's no time table for Demi's return to public life, but we hope she takes as long as she needs to do away with her personal demons for good.

Is Khloe Kardashian Pregnant?

Khloe Kardashian spends every other interview talking about motherhood.
But might the new red head finally have stopped talking about the subject and stared doing something (read: boning!) about it?
An insider tells The New York Post that Khloe "has been hiding a tell-tale bump behind flowing dresses and oversized handbags." This source points to her outfit at last week's People's Choice Awards as evidence, meaning readers can decide for themselves: Is there a fetus under there?
Hiding A Bump?
When Khloe Kardashian gets pregnant, we have a feeling she won't be shy about telling the world.
While tabloids have speculated about a new Kardashian pregnancy for months, there is a legitimate reason for this rumor to be taken with a grain of salt slightly smaller than Khloe's boobs:
She and Lamar Odom have signed on for a new reality show. And what better way to guarantee interesting storylines that to squeeze out a cousin for Mason Dash?

Tom Lippolis on JWoww Nude Pics: Her Idea!

Tom Lippolis says it's a completely laughable allegation that JWoww from Jersey Shore did not know he was photographing her buck a$$ naked.
Her attorney suggested this shady behavior, even implying that JWoww (real name Jenni Farley) was under anesthesia when he took the pics.
Team Farley recently filed a court motion negging Tom from releasing JWoww nude photos. Her lawyer, Rudy Fusco, said she denied consenting.
JWoww Cleanin' Up
Is JWoww the victim, or hanging Tom out to dry?
"Jenni says she must have been under anesthesia when they were taken," said Fusco, a comment Lippolis denies and says is preposterous.
"What a joke! How are you under anesthesia when you are standing up posing for the pictures?" Lippolis said. "[Jenni's] looking right at me."
He's got a point. That'll knock a girl out. Almost as ridiculous an excuse as the one given for the gun sights on Sarah Palin's crosshairs map.
He continues, "They had not given her anesthesia when I took the pictures, she was actually standing up with her hands placed on her hips."
According to Lippolis, the nude photos he took were actually JWoww's idea, to compare how she looked both pre- and post-plastic surgery.
Tom said he took the pics an hour before: "She told me, 'Take two pictures, one from the front and one from behind then take them after."
Lippolis' lawyer believes that, in turn, the MTV star does not have any right to block his client from doing what he wants with the photos.
Lippolis, who was seen briefly on the Jersey Shore Season 3 premiere, is also suing for fees he says are owed to him for managing her.

Brad Womack: I'm So in Love!

Have no fear, Bachelor skeptics.
Brad Womack, who talked about how he was "happy with his decision" the last time he was in this position, is leaving nothing open-ended how. He's in love.
"I call this woman about 20 times a day. I really am like a high school sophomore," Womack says of his chosen bride. "I'm in love, head over heels."
Brad: So in Love
Brad Womack clearly won over at least one woman!
"So, I call and text. I'm doing the whole high school thing. I see her about once or twice a month. It's under lock and key, of course. It's not nearly enough."
"I'm a true believer in instant connections," he says. "Around our first date or so – and I'm not even saying one-on-one or group [date] – I kind of knew."
"There's no denying that I felt it very, very quickly ... Once I fall, I just know. I fall very hard, and it happened. It happened. I used every second wisely."
So who is it? We don't wanna say, but Emily Maynard seems like a strong bet.
You can also read The Bachelor spoilers here for much more information.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson: The "Friendly" Dinner Date

Back in each other's lives almost by accident (or so she claims), Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have made up and are back on good terms.
Navigating her way through life after rehab, Lindsay moved next door to Ronson in Venice, Calif., causing a brief period of tension between them.
But after they made up and Sam welcomed her to the area, the two neighbors broke bread at a nearby restaurant for "a friendly dinner." Cute.
Sam and Linds
THE OLD DAZE: Might these two have a future yet?
Typical of recidivist stalkers and their victims, "Lindsay has been begging Sam to see her and Sam finally gave in," says a People source.
Just kidding. About the stalking part. They really did hang out.
Seems like it went well too. Earlier today, they Tweeted about the Knicks vs. Lakers game last night, with a little friendly trash talk thrown in.
"I think the knicks are jet lagged. they're getting sleepy right now - someone wake em up!!!" Sam wrote to her after the Lakers beat the Knicks.
N.Y. native Lohan Tweeted back to Ronson: "They played well though :)." We'll call it love at 3,941st Tweet, ladies and gentlemen.

Owen Wilson and Jade Duell: Expecting!

Let's hope Owen Wilson studied well for his role in Little Fockers - because the actor is about to be a father!
In a terse statement, the actor's rep says he and girlfriend "Jade Duell are happy to be expecting a baby." The couple has been together for about one year.
Wilson, who famously dated Kate Hudson for a long period of time, has a packed 2011 movie schedule. He has parts in Cars 2, Hall Pass, and Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.

Shawn Christy, Sarah Palin Stalker, Stokes Fears

Shawn Christy, the dude who's been legally ordered to stay away from Sarah Palin, is causing a new wave of concern in Alaska with his planned visit to the state.
Christy plans to travel to Wasilla in the hopes of removing a restraining order issued against him last year after Sarah and close friend Kristan Cole obtained it.
Palin and Cole proved he sent them threatening emails and letters.
Most Famous Alaskan
According to TMZ, Cole is launching a preemptive strike through the courts in the hopes of blocking Shawn Christy from "dissolving" the restraining order.
Cole filed documents explaining how he has continued to harass her and her family in the past few months and why keeping the order in place is needed.
Law enforcement sources tell us Shawn, who lives in Pennsylvania, has not been seen in Alaska yet, but has already filed to remove the protective order.
Dude, do us all a favor and back off. Regardless of your views on Sarah Palin, let her live her life in peace. Threats and violence get us nowhere as a society.
Besides, if you really don't like her, ignore her. Maybe then she'll go away. Please?

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo to Appear on Hawaii Five-O

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have landed a role on the small screen that involves more than just hosting.
The engaged couple has been cast on Hawaii Five-0, the highest-rated new show of the season.
Very Cute Twosome
According to CBS sources, Nick and Vanessa will appear on a February episode of the drama. Minnillo will portray a character named Susan who works as a deckhand on a cruise boat that's taken hostage. Lachey will be her fiance.
It's a role he's been studying for over the last few weeks.

Breaking Dawn Producer Spills Sex Scene Secrets, Storylines

From crazy sex in Brazil to an impending vampire massacre, there are many reasons for fans to be excited over the release of Breaking Dawn On November 18.
The film will be broken into two halves, but are the rumors of how this will take place accurate? Producer Wyck Godfrey spoke to USA Today this week and answered a series of questions...
Creative Poster
On splitting the movies:
"We basically want to take the audience through the emotional part of Bella's journey as she becomes a vampire. The first part will cover the wedding, the honeymoon and the birth."
On the PG-13 rating:
"It would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated. This is based on a much more mature book. We need to progress and be more sophisticated."
On the birth of Renesmee:
"She is looking through the haze, experiencing pain and everything rushing around her. We only see what she sees."
On the Edward/Bella sex scene:
"It does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual."

Kredit Kard Katastrophe: Kardashians Sued for $75 Million

The Kardashians have kause for koncern.
Five weeks after they took their debit card off the market because it was associated with dangerously high fees, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kris have been sued by The Revenue Resource Group, LLC. For $75 million.
The company claims these sisters breached their contract when they pulled out of the aforementioned deal. It's the biggest pulling out scandal Kim has been involved in since November 2007.
Many Kardashians
Following an announcement by the Attorney General of Connecticut, who said he'd consider an investigation into the MasterCard-approved debit card, the siblings dropped out of their deal.
But Revenue Resource Group says they signed a two-year contract and their public bashing of the product has affected the company's bottom line. RRG is seeking $75 million in damages.
Perhaps this will teach the family a lesson about attaching their name to any product that comes calling. But, somehow, we doubt it will.

Are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens Back Together?

Looks like World War III has been called off, or at least put on hold.
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson struck a truce over LiLo moving next door to Sam in Venice, Calif., which caused a minor uproar earlier this week.
Reports say Lohan, who just got out of rehab and "had no idea" she was moving in to the condo directly next door to her ex, apologized to Ronson for it.
Sam not only bought it, they left things on good terms. Go figure!
Battle For Venice
CLOSE QUARTERS: Seriously. This is how close the former lovers are living to each other, which Linds says is total coincidence. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
Lindsay, who just leased the place, is expected to move in any day now and, "Neither of them are mad at each other and everything has been cleared up."
We imagine she'll sing a different tune if she wakes up at 4 a.m. to the sound of Lindsay Lohan drunk and hooking up, but we're glad it's all good for now.

Are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens Back Together?

So much for those Rumer Willis rumors.
Just weeks after they shocked the celebrity gossip world with their split, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens looked to be back together at last night's SHG's Eden Hollywood opening.
They were "constantly touching and kissing each other," a witness told People.
Totally Cute Couple
Efron and Hudgens arrived together (alongside Brittany Snow) and quickly hit the dance floor.
"Vanessa was bopping around with her arms up while Zac had his hands all over her," the onlooker said. "Vanessa had a smile on from ear to ear and the two were inseparable after that."
It really was back to old times for the duo, adds the insider: "They were making out on and off for the last hour or so until closing. They acted like there was no one else in the room."
After arriving with pal Brittany Snow around midnight, the actors quickly took to the dance floor. "Vanessa was bopping around with her arms up while Zac had his hands all over her," the source says. "Vanessa had a smile on from ear to ear and the

Gabrielle Giffords, Arizona Congresswoman, Shot in Head at Public Event

Gabrielle Giffords was at the center of what President Obama has described as an "unspeakable tragedy" this morning.
The Arizona Congresswoman was one of 18 people shot - 12 of whom are injured, six reportedly killed - during a shooting in Tuscon. The public event was a meeting of constituents that took place outside a Safeway grocery store.
Gabrielle Giffords Picture
She underwent surgery this afternoon for a wound to the head, with Dr. Peter Rhee of the University Medical Center saying he's "very optimistic about her recovery."
The suspected culprit has been identified as a 22-year old named Jared Lee Loughner.
On her Facebook page, Sarah Palin offered "sincere condolences" to Giffords' family and others involved in the shooting. Why is this relevant?
In March 2010, - after Tweeting at "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America [to] RELOAD!" - Palin used gun sights on a map to target Democrats engaged in tough re-election battles. Giffords was one of those politicians.

Bieber Fever: Caught by Glee!

Following the occasional rumor of the past few months, it looks like Glee producers have finally come down with a case of Bieber Fever.
Michael Ausiello, one of the most reliable sources in TV journalism, reports that the Fox smash will dedicate a full episode to Justin Bieber this February.
Hunk in PhillyGlee Poster
Despite his recent claim to be open to an appearance on the series, sources say Bieber is not currently scheduled to make a cameo.
Instead, as it has done for artists such as Britney Spears and Madonna, Glee will simply cover a number of Justin's singles on the upcoming episode. Insiders do say, however, that "Bieber himself will figure into the plot" in some fashion.
Commence hyperventilating, Beliebers, in 3... 2... 1...

American Idol Season 10: Confirmed Changes

As the nation prepares for the return of its favorite TV show, there has been constant speculation about the state of American Idol.
Just what changes are actually in store? Will the show actually make like Big Brother? Will there be a round of 24? Entertainment Weekly spoke to producers of the competition and can confirm the following facts about season 10.
Judges in Vegas
Will there be a music video challenge? No.
Must contestants sing songs from various genres? Yes. Says Nigel Lythgoe: "If you do Motown, then I’m not sure [how] you’re going to sing an R&B song and give it your country flavor... it’s not going to be like that. They’ve got to be clever with it.”
Will voting move online? No.
How will the show replace the top 24 round? With a sudden death Top 20 round. In Hollywood, it will narrow the contestants down to 20 crooners, and then will viewers vote in a round that will select the finalists from among two groups of ten.
How many finalists will there be? 10 or 12.
Will there still be gender parity? No. Says Ken Warwick: "If I’ve got six fantastic boys and four average girls, I’m certainly not going to throw out a fantastic boy to put in another average girl, or vise versa."

Jillian Harris Has Brad Womack's Back

Jillian Harris says she fully supports Brad Womack getting a second chance on The Bachelor. She might even be feeling a little jealous of him, in fact.
The Bachelorette star chose Ed Swiderski. That didn't work out.
"I won't lie that when I heard he was getting a second chance, I was a bit green-eyed and thought seriously about hitting my [The Bachelor creator] Mike Fleiss speed dial, demanding he cough up my second chance, too," she writes.
Pretty JillianHot Brad Womack
Jillian also commented on the infamous season premiere slap.
"When Chantal slapped Brad on the The Bachelor season premiere, he responded that he liked her more. I had to hold myself back from leaping through the screen to slap him again! Not because he deserved it, but because he didn't!"
"I am very much on the supporting side of this second chance debate. In fact, I'm floored at the pressure put on Brad by himself, the media, and the girls."
"I have learned a lot this year. No one is perfect, sometimes people just aren't ready, and most importantly, everyone deserves a second chance."
"This is why I was going crazy seeing Brad being so hard on himself. In fact, I was actually starting to get a tad annoyed by it. Don't get me wrong, I've had my heart broken and know the hurt my girls Jenni and Deanna felt three years ago."
"But Brad Womack did something you don't see all the time; he went against the rules of the show and just followed the rules of life."
He also follows the narrative written by the show, and that's to harp on the whole "second chance" angle until he's blue in the face.
That way, no one can accuse him of being blase about it, and America can like him again. At least that's how Mike Fleiss drew it up.
For a look at how it works out for him, check out these Bachelor spoilers now ... but beware, there is major information in there.

Stalker Much? Lindsay Lohan Living NEXT DOOR to Samantha Ronson; Beach Community Not Happy

Two days out of rehab and Lindsay Lohan is already causing a stir.
Not only might she still face jail time for her little scuffle at Betty Ford, the quiet L.A. beachside community of Venice where she moved is displeased.
Number one on its list of ticked off residents? Samantha Ronson. Lohan is living next door to her, after all. All by "coincidence," Lindsay claims.
Looking So Happy
THE OLD DAYS: Sam isn't smiling right now.
Ronson's distaste for hoards of photographers was a big reason she and Lohan broke up (for further evidence of why, see these Lindsay drunk photos).
Just the same, LiLo claims she had "no idea" her new beach house was right next door to her ex, and is willing to move in order to "keep the peace."
Lohan says she was aware Sam lived somewhere in Venice, Calif., but had no idea where until she saw her pull into the garage next door Tuesday.
Now Sam is "pissed" and she's far from the only one.
“We usually don’t do celeb stuff, but got a lot of emails on this one... so... Lindsay Lohan is moving to Venice?” a local neighborhood website wrote.
Hollywood stars such as Rosario Dawson, Emile Hirsch, Anna Paquin and Tim Robbins prefer residing in Venice as an escape from the paparazzi.
Lohan’s move may put a damper on that coveted privacy.
"People move to Venice to get away from Hollywood,” one resident said. “Lindsay Lohan represents exactly what everyone is trying to escape.”
“If she moves here I hope someone posts a pic of her vehicle so I know when to get off the street & outta [sic] her way!” a Venice resident said.

Kourtney Kardashian Prepares to Take New York, Pretend to Run a Business

It might appear as though they do nothing but party, pose on the red carpet and give magazine interviews, but Kourtney Kardashian wants to make it clear: she and sister Kim Kardashian work HARD.
Viewers will find out what this means when Kourtney & Kim Take New York premieres this month on E!.
Return of the Body!!!
Somehow, Kourtney Kardashian found time recently to get her bikini body back about 12 times AND open up a store in NYC.
"We were shocked at how much harder it was to open a store in New York as compared to Los Angeles and Miami," Kourtney told People. "We are on the same block as mega successful stores like Chanel so we really had our work cut out for us. It was a lot more detail and worry than we ever imagined."
What will be the highlights of this totally unscripted, brutally honest look at running a business?
"What hassles we went through to get the store open and how amazing it looks now," Kourtney teases.
Naturally, storylines involving the gals going out in New York City will also be included, as Kourtney concluded: "We had a blast. It also gave Kim and I the chance to spend a lot of time together like we did growing up."

Kendra Wilkinson: Inside Her Fake Divorce Drama

The latest issue of In Touch Weekly takes readers inside the pending divorce between Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett.
But allow THG to save you the cover price of this tabloid and do the reporting for you: there is no pending divorce between Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett. That's pretty much it.
Fake Divorce Drama
With no new sex tape on the market, and having already pretended to have had a miscarriage, Kendra has turned to fake relationship drama in order to remain relevant.
Just to be clear: Wilkinson has not called it quits. She has not met with a divorce lawyer. And there's no battle for her baby. It also might be difficult for Angelina and Brad to have honeymooned in Africa, seeing as the couple isn't actually married.

Tabloids Would Like Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock to Start Dating ASAP

New year, new romance for Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds?
Hells to the no. But hey, they were in the same place, so why not run with it if you're a tabloid, right? Two of them clearly agreed this week.
They were also in a film called The Proposal. After they were seen "partying the night away" on New Year's Eve, the deal was totally sealed:
It's (Probably Not) OnRyan and Sandra
NO, IT'S NOT / NO, THEY'RE NOT: Don't believe the hype.
"They were playful," the onlooker says of Bullock and Reynolds who were "smiling the whole time and occasionally touching. What a hot - and quick - rebound!"
Their common bond? "I'm sure they've bonded over the breakups," a Reynolds insider reveals. "Going through a divorce is a unique thing to live through."
Yes. Only Ryan hasn't done so, and has only been separated for a month.
That isn't to say he's not free to move on, but we're guessing OK! and Us jumped the gun. Bullock's rep even says the duo are "nothing except good friends."
But hey, Reynolds' unnamed pal says the "chemistry" between the pair was obvious on the set of The Proposal. Consider this celebrity news site convinced.

Eduardo Cruz: Eva Longoria's New Man?

Unfortunately for Eva Longoria, Tony Parker allegedly moved on from his marriage before it was actually over.
According to a new report, though, the Desperate Housewives star has now opened up her bed to another mate, as well.
The New York Post quotes a source that says Longoria was spotted in her garage on December 24, wearing nothing but a short white robe. She was joined there by Penelope Cruz's brother, Eduardo.

Psst, it's time for a new shirt, Eva.
"He's there at least three nights out of every four - he turns up and he leaves the next morning," says an insider, who apparently has binoculars fixed on Longoria's house. "They are trying desperately to stay beneath the radar."
Eduardo Cruz makes a living as a pop singer and is 10 years younger than the actress. Her rep claims the two are just "friends."
No word, however, on whether this friendship has any benefits attached to it.

Cops May Actually Be Out to Get Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan loves making excuses, playing the victim and claiming everyone is out to get her. Incredibly, in this case, she may actually have an argument.
The Palm Desert Police Department was dead set on sticking it to her, reports say, after her altercation with Betty Ford Center staff member Dawn Holland.
Desperate to finger Lohan for something to get her arrested, police contacted the L.A. County probation office shortly after Lindsay and Dawn threw down.
OMG NO WAY
Lindsay has been, and remains on probation for a 2007 DUI conviction. Failure to adhere to the terms of said probation have landed her in jail more than once.
Palm Desert police notified L.A. County Deputy Probation Officer Barbara Parker of the melee, imploring her to come and arrest Lohan for violating probation.
When Parker told the lieutenant it would be premature to take such drastic action, the local lieutenant began arguing with her and it got "extremely heated."
After the call, the lieutenant's boss called Parker to apologize.
The police in Palm Desert, which is in Riverside County, are still saying Lindsay violated her probation by committing battery and could be jailed as a result.
It's odd they're pushing it so hard, as the L.A. County Probation Department and a Beverly Hills judge are the ones who determine if a violation took place.
It's equally odd in light of Dawn Holland burying the hatchet with Lohan and publicly saying she won't cooperate with any attempt to prosecute the star.
The L.A. County Probation Department will not act unless she's convicted of battery in Riverside County, which is a stretch without Holland testifying.
Just the same, Palm Desert police insist that probation violations were committed and referred the case to prosecutors, saying in a statement:
"The investigation and facts in evidence has revealed other possible violations by Ms. Lohan relating to certain conditions of her probation terms."
It's unclear if police believe she engaged in substance abuse, which would also constitute a probation violation if established (it's happened before).
Law enforcement sources say she refused a breathalyzer. Lohan's camp says she asked for one, insisting she was clean, but was negged by Holland.
In any case, the facts are thin, and Lohan's lawyer believes the Palm Desert PD is out to get her client. We're thinking this time, she may be spot on.

Amber Portwood: Ruined By Teen Mom!

Amber Portwood is fearing for the loss of daughter Leah, and feeling like Teen Mom has ruined her. Or just life as a teen mom. Either way ... ruined!
When Ambs emerged from the Madison County jail in Anderson, Ind., after being arrested for felony battery, she visibly shaken by the experience.
"I cannot even imagine not seeing my little baby if I go back to jail," Amber Portwood told Life & Style in its cover story. "It scares me so bad."
Ruined By Teen Mom
RUINED: By being a teen mom ... or violent tendencies?
Putting the orange jumpsuit back on is a real possibility for Amber, who faces three felony charges for attacking Leah's father, Gary Shirley, on the MTV show.
If convicted, she could be sentenced to three years in prison and $10,000 in fines, which has her second-guessing her decision to ever appear on Teen Mom.
"I wouldn't have been in jail because nobody would have known about it," she says, blaming her quasi-fame for making the baby daddy beatdown a bigger deal.
Amber pleaded not guilty last week and was released after 24 hours in jail. Should she be sent back there, or do you think the experience will change her?

JWoww Nude Photos: Blocked By Court Order!

Jersey Shore star JWoww has gone to court to block her ex, Tom Lippolis from releasing any nude photographs of her, according to new reports.
The nude photos show JWoww (real name Jenni Farley) both before and after she had breast augmentation (the second time) and liposuction. Yikes.
JWoww filed an Order To Show Cause in a Long Island court in a bid to stop her former lover and manager from cashing in on any such pics.
Wow, JWoww
Wait ... JWoww had plastic surgery?!
However, Lippolis’ lawyer, Jeffery I. Baum, believes that the MTV siren has no right to block his client doing with the JWoww nude photos as he pleases.
His rationale: They were taken on his cell phone with her consent.
“She is trying to block him from distributing the images and is trying to get the court to compel arbitration in the case," he said, adding he will object.
“In return we have filed to ask the judge to dismiss her order because the images belong to my client and were taken with Miss Farley’s consent."
“We believe they represent no irreparable harm to her and Mr. Lippolis should not be precluded from doing what he wants with them.”
JWoww reportedly fears the release of the images because they show she has had considerable plastic surgery, including liposuction.
She did turn down Playboy and its $400,000 offer last year.
“She is mortified that the photographs might get out there now that she has established herself as a reality star," reports a source.
“The photographs really show how much work she had done and she looks great in the ‘after shots’ after she healed from surgery."
“It is the ‘before shots’ that she is really worried about at this point ... unfortunately her relationship with Tom did not pan-out.”
Lippolis is suing JWoww, claiming that she had stiffed him out of cash after he managed her for two seasons of the hit show.
That case is ongoing. JWoww is now dating Roger Williams.

Camille Grammer: Leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Camille Grammer may need every penny of that $50 million divorce settlement. The controversial reality star is reportedly out of a job.
The Hollywood Reporter simply states that Grammer won't return for season two of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Will Camille Grammer take the ratings for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with her?
Few details have been released, but sources say Camille is displeased with the way she's been portrayed on the show, while friends claim she only ever did it because her ex-husband pushed the idea on her.
Aside from her VERY public split from Kelsey Grammer, Camile has come under for her general behavior on the show.
She has four nannies for two children; sees a real-life medium named Allison Dubois; and feuds openly with co-star Kyle Richards. Of course, as Danielle Staub proved, scandals sell.
We set the odds of Camille landing a spin-off at 1:100.

Ashley Harlan: Engaged to Ben Roethlisberger for Some Reason!

Ben Roethlisberger has managed to find a woman more attracted to his stat sheet than his rap sheet: Ashley Harlan has agreed to marry Pittsburth Steelers quarterback.
The engagement has been confirmed by The New Castle News, Harlan's hometown paper. It states that the proposal took place over Christmas and that Roethlisberger's agent has advised his client not to discuss his personal life with the media.

We can understand why.
On two occasions over the last few years, Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault. He's admitted that he used poor judgment, but says he never forced anyone to have sex against her will. No charges were ever brought about the All-Pro, but the NFL suspended him for a quarter of this season.
Harlan was a volleyball, basketball and softball star at Laurel High School. She played softball at St. Francis University of Loretto and earned a Master’s in physician assistant science in 2009.
She works in cardiac surgery department of Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh.
