People had the following quote from Madonna, regarding the recent allegations of divorce and affairs:

“My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study.”

She adds, “I have learned over the years not to take accusations and the many false reports about me very seriously. I also appreciate how fiction and fact seem to be perceived as one and the same by people who read both newspapers and the internet.”

Meanwhile, Perez Hilton reports that the UK publication The Sun has leaked juicy details from her brother’s unauthorized tell-all biography. The book is said to include:

- Madonna’s drug use with leading showbiz executives will be unveiled.

- Christopher will tell all about Madge’s rocky marriage to Hollywood actor Sean Penn and spill the beans about her blow ups with current husband Guy Ritchie.

- Madonna flirted with pal Gwyneth Paltrow at a glamorous New Year’s party thrown by fashion designer Donatella Versace. While the two were dancing on a table at 4am, Madge grabbed Gwynnie and fully kissed her on the mouth. Partygoers watched stunned and amazed.

- Homesick Madonna is supposedly desperate to return permanently to New York. But Guy is said to want to remain in London, seeing it as a better home for their three kids.

A source tells the rag, “The book is a warts-and-all account. Chris was there for all the key moments in Madonna’s life. There is no-one better placed to tell the real story behind Madonna’s public image.”

Makes you wonder if brother Christopher had anything to do with these recent rumors…there hadn’t been too much talk about Madge recently, so maybe he was trying to drum up some publicity?

US magazine had the exclusive info on Hollywood’s latest feud…Spencer Pratt versus Mary Kate Olsen! Yeah, it isn’t all that dramatic, but we’re always entertained by the monochromatic antics of Mr. Pratt…

“I apologize for getting caught up in trash talking, but she brought up an emotional subject when she mentioned the soccer stuff,” Pratt tells Us exclusively.

“I know Dave was just doing his job in asking her,” he went on. “He’s the best in the game at that.”

Pratt even admitted he was a bit envious of the twin.

“I respect Mary Kate as a business-woman,” he said. “I’m secretly jealous of her. I want my face on a lunchbox, too!”

Score is still Mary Kate 3, Spencer 0. He might have earned a point for the apology, but that lunchbox comment just seemed snarky to us.

We hesitated to comment on the newest sex tape scandal, because there’s not much that can tactfully be said. The actor who gained fame playing “Mini-Me” had an illicit video of his exploits with girlfriend Ranae Shrider, which mysteriously found its way to TMZ. Most people figured Vern himself was behind it, but Ranae (now his ex-girlfriend) is now admitting she was the one responsible. Supposedly she’s searching for the highest bidder, with the asking price set at around $25k. In this age of YouTube and zero privacy, isn’t it easy to find such material online for free? We’re certainly not interested in watching it, but those who desire that kind of show can surely locate it without paying top dollar. If you’re still not convinced that Ranae Shrider had nefarious intentions, let’s consider two additional facts:

1. She knows – and may be friends with – Paris Hilton.

2. The night she met Vern at the Playboy Mansion, she wasn’t actually trying to meet him. She had her heart set on meeting up with former 90210 star Ian Ziering.

Wow, this girl is really aiming high – no pun regarding Vern’s stature intended.

OK magazine did an interview with Vern recently that just we had to mention. It wasn’t anything he said, but rather the introductory statement provided:

“The 39-year-old actor gets around by scooter, and parks right beside me. Despite his mini-me stature, he’s wearing a men’s watch, and has a heart tattoo on his right thumb.”

What, like guys with dwarfism can’t wear grown up accessories? Should he have been wearing a Disney watch instead? Poor form OK…

Mary-Kate Olsen appeared on David Letterman recently, and she was surprisingly warm and cordial. Both her and Ashley always seem very reserved, so we were pleased to see some jokes and smiles out of MK. After discovering that she went to high school with Spencer Pratt, Letterman needled Mary-Kate for some good gossip. MK didn’t really oblige, though, and instead told a pretty harmless anecdote about Spencer’s temper when he played soccer. Her official quote was “he does not have a good temper. He would walk off the field.”

No big deal, right?

Wrong, according to Spencer! Mr. Pratt got all hot under the collar, telling USmagazine.com (the first source who would listen?) all about what he thinks of Mary-Kate:

“I know I’ve made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman,” Pratt told told Usmagazine.com. I forgive her, though. She’s had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough.” Pratt also said “I don’t really get why she’d use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one’s going to see” and noted “she should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me.”

JustJared also checked a bit of history, and found a 2007 interview with Details magazine, where Spencer brags about how he “made $50k in high school by selling a photo he took of Mary-Kate drinking at a party.”

So just to recap, MK gets 1 point for getting a burn in on Spencer while retaining her dignity when chatting with Letterman, 1 point for inspiring Spencer to rant like a lunatic and direct personal insults in her direction, and 1 point because the story eventually led to us being able to mock Spencer for his money making ventures. Spencer gets 0 points, or perhaps negative 3. Go Team Mary-Kate!

We bet you thought Spencer and Heidi – AKA “Speidi” – couldn’t get more annoying. We thought so too – but we were soooo wrong. Apparently Heidi has a Christian streak that she wants to show the world. She’s even planning to rock the house (of worship) with a Christian album!

It’s a smart move, all things considered…she isn’t particularly successful in the general pop world, aside from her and Spencer selling pics and club appearances. So why not try the Christian crowd? That demographic is big on forgiveness, so maybe Spencer and Heidi can flourish. Then again, they spend most of their days actively making a mockery of the institution of marriage. So who knows? Here are Heidi’s thoughts on her faith:

“I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old. I always felt this crazy connection to God. [I consider myself] kind of non-denominational Baptist.”

When asked about the rumored LC sex tape, Heidi was even more eloquent:

“There were rumors about a sex tape, but I had nothing to do with that. God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I’m going to get persecuted, ya know?”

Bet you didn’t know Heidi was just like Jesus! She does look awfully pious in that Vegas picture shown above though, dontcha think?

Cat fight! After getting serious heat from PETA, Jessica Simpson is getting schooled by Pamela Anderson. Pam found Jessica’s shirt so offensive that she called Jess out during a radio interview in Australia. She didn’t say more than a couple sentences, but that was enough for a MAJOR burn:

“I think she is a bi&ch and who%e. Actually, I don’t know if she was talking about food or men.”

Ummm hey pot, this is kettle calling…

Now she’s saying it was all just light hearted joking, and we have heard that she’s a funny gal. If this feud continues, though, they’re going to need some official names for the ring announcers to yell. We propose PETA PAM and JUICY JESS. Yep, we said it, juicy like a cheeseburger!

As if their life wasn’t dramatic enough, now there are reports of a secret Lohan love child! According to OK! magazine, Michael Lohan has admitted to having an affair that resulted in a pregnancy back in ’82. Perez Hilton posted a quote from Michael on his blog:

“I met Christie in 1982 in Houston. In 1995, when I was separated from Dina, she contacted me that she was moving to Long Island. She was going through a divorce at the time. I was with her for a week. Years later, while I was in prison, she contacted to me to say she had a paternity test done that revealed the child’s father was not her husband. She said I was the only other man she had been with. My lawyers are dealing with this. When we find out the truth we will deal with it in the appropriate manner.”

JustJared had another snippet of a quote from Michael:

Years later [the woman] contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child… [She] is beginning to look a lot like Linds, with a mix of [younger brother] Cody, believe it or not.”

The only quote provided by the mother is simply “It’s time for Michael to take responsibility.” Michael hasn’t quite done a bang up job with his current crop of kids, so perhaps this poor girl was better off without him there? Even so, the lack of financial support surely made life difficult. The saddest part of the whole story – aside from the kid who grew up without a dad – is that Lindsay apparently learned of the news straight from Perez Hilton’s blog. We’re glad she has Samantha Ronson to lean on during the most recent chapter of drama with the Lohans.

ImNotObsessed reports that Vivienne Westwood - the real life designer who crafted Carrie’s wedding dress - didn’t have anything nice to say about Sex and the City:

“I thought Sex And The City was supposed to be about cutting-edge fashion and there was nothing remotely memorable or interesting about what I saw.”

She also noted:

“I went to the premiere and left after ten minutes.”

OUCH! She didn’t even stay long enough to see her own dress? Is she trying pull a Katherine Heigl, and bite the hand that fed her? This all seems too bad to be true, but we tend to trust what Vera from ImNotObsessed has to say…what do you think?

Jessica Simpson hasn’t been under media fire in a while, at least compared to her rash of airhead moments back when Newlyweds was on. That may be changing, though, because she’s definitely made a new enemy!  She was spotted at the airport, wearing a shirt that proclaimed “Real Girls Eat Meat”. Animal advocacy group PETA was all over it, quickly denouncing her on their blog. Besides the doctored image (shown below), they also had a list of  the “top five reasons that only stupid girls brag about eating meat”…

Granted, Jess is from Texas, where meat is considered an extremely important food group. But PETA isn’t known for making exceptions, so the criticism isn’t exactly surprising. Here is the top 5 list that PETA blogger Christine came up with:

“1. Meat increases the risk of breast cancer. A 2007 study of 35,000 women published in the British Journal of Cancer found that women who ate meat were far more likely to develop breast cancer than women who consumed none. Will Jessica’s next t-shirt will say, “Real Girls Smoke 3 Packs a Day”?

2. Real girls don’t support animal abuse. Compassion is super sexy, if the huge number of hot celebs ditching meat is any indication. Young women turn vegetarian in droves when they learn that the meat industry cuts the sensitive beaks off newborn chicks and cuts off the tails of baby piglets.

3. The meat industry is destroying the Earth. The only thing that’s hot about the meat industry is that it’s toasting the planet. According to the United Nations, raising animals for food causes more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the cars, trucks, SUVs, planes, and ships in the world combined.

4. Meat will make you fat. All the saturated fat and cholesterol in chicken wings, pork chops, and steak eventually leads to flabby thighs and love handles. I hope the upcoming “Jessica Simpson’s Intimates” line comes in plus sizes! Going vegetarian is the best way to get slim and stay that way.

5. Eating meat steals food from starving kids. Jessica’s trip to help kids in Africa got a lot of media buzz, but by gnawing on meat, she’s essentially stealing food from the mouths of starving children since it takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of meat. If more people went vegetarian, we’d free up enough grain to feed every person in the world.”

Do you agree with Jessica or PETA?!

Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl has opted to pull her hat from the Emmy ring, but it isn’t because she already has an Emmy under her belt. Heigl offered the following incendiary quote as explanation:

“I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization” and “in addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials.” So, basically, Katherine is saying that the Grey’s writers didn’t provide her with quality scenes that would allow her to showcase her skills.

This comes from a woman who won the Emmy last year, for performing in scenes that were created by the same writers. Add in the writer’s strike, and Katherine’s tendency to bite the hand that feeds her…and all we can say is that (as TMZ.com noted) Katherine needs to get off her “Heigl horse”!

Let’s recap – she trash talked her first successful movie in Vanity Fair magazine, when she said that Knocked Up “paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight.” She blasted the announcer at last year’s Emmy awards for pronouncing her name wrong, she was caught on video literally yanking BFF T.R. Knight away from adoring fans (jealous that she wasn’t in the spotlight for once, perhaps?), and now there’s this Emmy nonsense. 

Insiders at Grey’s Anatomy were quick to label the affront as a”slap in the face”. Entertainment Weekly got the full response, where a source explains that “the show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material? It’s an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place.” We agree, 100%! That being said, the girl has some serious style that we still want to emulate…
