Rumors have been circulating that Usher Raymond has a lot more going on than a brand new CD. Allegedly Usher’s new, much older girlfriend, former Def Jam executive Grace Miguel, is carrying his baby and they are planning a wedding. While this may seem like something to celebrate, it’s actually a lot of drama. Usher just divorced his wife Tameka Foster in November and they have two young children. Oh…and lest we forget, Grace is still legally married.

The singer and his new lady love were recently spotted in a park in Atlanta with his kids but the couple refused to be photographed together. People are speculating that Usher is probably trying to keep everything under wraps in order to keep the focus on his new album “Raymond Vs. Raymond”, which sold 330,000 copies in just one week.

Ex-wife Tameka did not take kindly to the rumors and took to her Twitter page to express her anger, “I thank u ALL 4 ur CONFIRMATION that Im dealing w/a pure ******** dude.. How did this happen? What part of the game is this? SMH Never again.”

Since the rumors have begun to run rampant, Usher’s rep has come forward to report that things have been exaggerated and there is no truth to the rumors. In that case, somebody should probably alert Tameka so she can stop her Twitter rampage! It’s really not surprising that the rumor developed. After all, Usher does have a track record of dating and even marrying older women and keeping everything a secret for as long as possible. See her pic below.

One thing is certain, expect another great CD to come out of all of this. Usher has always been an artist who has used his life experiences as inspiration for his music.

Lindsay Lohan took part in a shoot last night with photographer Tyler Fields and couldn’t wait to share it on her Twitter page. In the Polaroid pic, we see her holding a gun to her mouth.

Fields has reportedly posted more of the same on his website. He praised his willing subject: “Everyone has an idea of Lindsay Lohan and last night I had the pleasure of working with her. She is a huge art lover and simply wanted to create some and that is exactly what we did. This is just a taste…more to come. Lindsay will have a few crazy shots in my upcoming book “The Dirty Side of Glamor”.

Katie Holmes and Greg Kinnear will star in the The Kennedy’s, an eight-hour mini-series premiering in 2011 on the History Channel.

Holmes has signed on to play Jacqueline Kennedy alongside Greg Kinnear as President John F. Kennedy. Barry Pepper will play Robert Kennedy, who served as U.S. attorney general in his brother’s administration. Tom Wilkinson has been cast Joseph Kennedy Sr.

ccording to Radaronline, stand up comic and late night host Chelsea Handler has a XXX sex tape. The website claims to have viewed the graphic footage of the funny woman with a male partner who has a distinctive British accent.

Handler claims she made it as a joke nearly 10 years ago after she moved to Los Angeles. The tape begins with her fully clothed in what appears to be a work uniform. She introduces herself and begins a stand-up routine. At some point the tape cuts to Chelsea and a male partner engaged in an explicit sex act. Then the tape cuts back to fully clothed Chelsea finishing her comedy routine.

The website called Chelsea’s rep for a comment. Steven Huvane said, “The tape you have is an old tape that was done for a stand up comedy bit.”

Handler actually addressed it on her E! network show last night. She admitted that she made the tape when she was 23. By way of explanation, Chelsea offered: “I would like to say to RadarOnline.com, thanks for ruining my surprise Christmas gift to my staff, and number two, it was made as a joke. I put it on an audition tape for a comedy club, because I’m a comedienne, and I’ve been showing it at birthday parties for (expletive) years!”

It was a talent-packed elimination night on American Idol. Taking the stage on the hit FOX reality show were Sons of Sylvia, Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts and Shakira.

The Top 6 were divided into two group last night. Those sent to safety were Crystal Bowersox, Aaron Kelly and Lee DeWyze. In the bottom three were Michael Lynche, Siobhan Magnus and Casey James. See all of their Tuesday performance videos here.

Casey was the first sent back to join the rest of the group and then the hammer dropped when Big Mike also got a reprieve and Siobhan got the bad news that she was going home.

The quirky and unconventional Magnus sang “Think” as her parting gift to her fan base, working the stage and actually getting into the judges faces at one point. There were hugs all around as the show ended…and the stoic Siobhan was dry-eyed throughout.

That leaves us with just five remaining contestants who will be mentored next week by Harry Connick Jr. They will be selecting tunes from the Frank Sinatra songbook.

The International Olympic Committee has ordered China to return the women’s team bronze that they were awarded at the 2000 Sydney Games, based on evidence that Dong Fangxiao was only 14-years-old.

The team medal will go to its rightful owners, Team USA. Former gymnast Dominique Dawes said, “Justice prevailed. My teammates are very well-deserving of the bronze medal, and I’m sure each and every one of us will be thrilled. We will cherish it.”

The team also includes Amy Chow, Jamie Dantzscher, Kristin Maloney, Elise Ray and Tasha Schwikert. The young women left empty-handed from Sydney, four years after winning gold in Atlanta. Schwikert said, “It’s going to be nice to say, ‘We did get a medal. We got the bronze in Sydney.’”

The issue drew worldwide attention at the 2008 Beijing Games when the Chinese women won the gold medal and officials suspected that some of the girls were younger than 16. An investigation was launched and the IOC was able to make the discovery about Dong, who was working as a national technical official. Her documents listed her birthday as Jan. 23, 1986, which would have made her too young to compete in 2000.

International Gymnastics Federation president Bruno Grandi said in a statement: “Respecting the minimum age of our gymnasts remains a priority and I am committed to safeguarding the health of our athletes.”

Jesse James’ latest legal battle has been put on hold.

On March 25, James and photog Ulises Rios got into a dispute and placed each other under citizen’s arrest. Rios accused James of damaging his car during the scuffle; Jesse countered by accusing Rios of stalking.

James was cited for vandalism but no charges have been made against him.

Police visited Rios’ home earlier this month and confiscated several items including videotapes and photographs as part of their ongoing investigation.

But law enforcement officials say the investigation is on hold until James is released from a rehab facility in Tuson, Arizona next month.

The star’s publicist Hildie Katibah issued a statement saying James would spend April in treatment for an undisclosed issue.

We are not sure exactly how many times singer Cher has announced her retirement from touring…but we know it has been more than once. Anyway, all of you Cher lovers are in luck because she has announced that she will tour again.

Currently the diva in under contract in Las Vegas at the Caesars Palace Colosseum. Once her time is up in Vegas Cher plans to hit the road. She has reportedly been inspired by new songs that she has been working on, and the soundtrack for her film “Burlesque” in collaboration with Christina Aguilera.

Next month you will get to hear Cher sing a new single, “Already Been There” at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo.

Heidi Klum gave Jay Leno a temporary hair overhaul on the Tonight Show this week. The silver-haired co-host was sporting charcoal locks by the end of the segment after the Victoria’s Secret supermodel performed her magic with a can of hair dye.

The show website has since taken a little survey to see if Leno viewers prefer the new look. Seventy-five percent of those who responded think that Jay should leave well enough alone.

The veteran late night host will be having a milestone birthday on April 28, when he celebrates the big 60.

Michael Lohan showed up with the cops at Lindsay’s house Thursday to check on his younger daughter Ali, who is living with LiLo.

Michael is concerned about Ali’s welfare and the lifestyle she is being exposed to, “I wanted to check on Ali. I want to make sure she’s okay. She’s 16 and she doesn’t belong there. She’s a minor.” He added, “Ali is being exposed to nightlife and the people Lindsay is surrounding herself with.”

Michael has threatened to ask officials at Los Angeles’ Department of Children and Family Services to remove Ali from the apartment, and said he plans to ask a judge to place Lindsay under a conservatorship.

Now, Michael is offering to back-off if Lindsay and Ali agree to a face-to-face meeting with Michael without their mother Dina or lawyers present.

Former Bachelor winner Shayne Lamas married TheDirty.com blogger Nik Richie over the weekend in Vegas after a whirlwind courtship of less than 24 hours.

Lest anyone think the marriage is a sham, word has it he bought her a sparkler that set him back $130,000. The 5-carat diamond ring was purchased at Simon G. Jewelry as the first order of business after the couple got back to Los Angeles.

Tiger Woods’ mistress #1 is hoping to extend her fifteen minutes of fame. According to our friends at TMZ, Rachel Uchitel has been developing a match making show titled Romancing Rachel.

The show is being produced by Jersey Shore and The Bachelor producer Scott Jeffress. The script will detail how hard it has been for poor Uchitel to hook up with new men since the Tiger fiasco. She wants America to watch her find true love with SINGLE guys.

It is clear that these types of shows are entertaining and drama filled. If this were not the case, shows like For The Love of Ray J, A Shot at Love With Telia Tequila, Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and A Real Chance At Love would be long gone instead of enjoying continued success.

Uchitel and her people have contacted VH1, Oxygen, Lifetime and E! networks to pitch the show. Word has it that VH1 and Oxygen have shown some interest.

What is the world coming to when being a celebrity’s mistress makes you an instant celebrity? Several of Jesse James‘ women are also getting into the act. Michelle McGee and Jamie Jungers are rumored to be hosting an upcoming celebrity cheaters show.

Christina Aguilera is on a mission to promote her upcoming album Bionic and what better way to do it than with a guest appearance on one of the biggest television shows. That’s right, numerous sources are confirming that the singer will be performing on the much anticipated American Idol finale in May.

The pop singer released a statement via her website expressing her enthusiasm about her album, “I couldn’t be more excited to finally share this material with you all and I wanted to reach out and let you know what this project is all about for me… You will find on this album songs that represent the many sides of me. I have learned that like all women I am sometimes capable of being superhuman. Like all women I am Bionic.”

Aguilera has been out of the spotlight for awhile and if she wants to make a big comeback, American Idol is a good start. Gearing up for her fourth studio album, Xtina has been on a publicity tour visiting radio stations and doing numerous interviews. AI is just one of the many stops she will make while promoting her latest project.

If a performance on American Idol is not enough Christina for you, make sure you mark June 8th down on your calender. Not only is that the release date for her album but in celebration she will be doing a 30-minute concert live on the Today Show. You can also catch the singer in “Burlesque”, her first feature film out in November.

Forbes puts out volumes of lists each year and how exciting for actor Seth Rogen to be named the “Hardest Working Star in Hollywood.”

The “Knocked Up” star has had an amazing 10 movies that have earned at least $20 million at the Box Office within the last 5 years — that is pretty impressive.

Since 2005 Seth has made more films and money for studios than any other actor, beating out Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.

Coming in second was Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon was third. Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep were the only two actresses to make the Top 10.

Stephanie Pratt, estranged sister of Spencer Pratt and sister-in-law Heidi Montag recently did a nude ad for the animal rights group PETA.

The actress has appeared infrequently on The Hills and was thrust into the spotlight following her DUI arrest in October 2009. She did a stint in rehab in order to appease the court and is frequently photographed doing community service work as part of her sentence.

Pratt recently revealed that she and her brother had a falling out after her DUI and she was particularly hurt that he didn’t make an attempt to reconcile during the holidays. She got arrested when she was leaving a birthday celebration for Heidi at the couple’s home

.

We would be remiss if we didn’t mention her Maxim photo shoot.

Early Tuesday morning former actor turned White House aide Kal Penn was robbed at gunpoint in Washington D.C. The criminal investigation on the case just got larger now that the Secret Service has stepped in to assist D.C. Metro Police in finding the robber.

The gun-toting man not only stole Penn’s wallet but also took two cell phone, one personal and one belonging to the U.S. Government. Kal works for President Barack Obama as the Associate Director in the office of Public Engagement.

Penn called White House communication following the robbery and service to the phone was shut off immediately. TMZ was told, “No information was compromised because no official numbers were in the phone.”

Tuesday on the hit FOX reality show American Idol was dubbed Idol Gives Back night. The seven remaining contestants worked with mentor Alicia Keys and were tasked with choosing inspirational songs.

The judges were a tough bunch last night, expressing their displeasure at nearly every song choice. The only two contestants to receive any love from Randy, Ellen, Kara and Simon turned out to be Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox.

Casey James sang “Don’t Stop” and got some lukewarm feedback: “not great”, “lazy song choice”, “not particularly inspiring”, and the often confused judge DioGuardi was once again “frustrated” — a common theme for her.

Tim Urban, who has been riding high in the judges eyes in recent weeks, slipped out of their good graces with his rendition of “Better Days”. All four judges were hard-pressed to give it a thumbs up : Randy called it “Just Ok”, Ellen “didn’t like it”, Kara offered,”you’ve got something but not tonight”, and Simon pronounced it “a little bit of a let down.”

Aaron Kelly seemed excited to sing “I Believe I Can Fly”, a song he has reportedly been singing since he was 5-years-old. The judges thought the first part of the song wasn’t Idol worthy but did like the end, though Simon quipped, “If I had heard you singing that song on the radio, I’d have turned it off.”

Poor Siobhan Magnus can no longer do anything right in the eyes of Kara and Simon. Even Randy has turned a corner and decided that it is easier to dismiss her than offer her encouragement. Ellen was the only judge who gave Siobhan’s rendition of “When You Believe” any love, telling the AI hopeful “good job”. We must admit — we liked it too.

Michael Lynche sang “Hero”. The judges were noncommittal on his performance but provided enough neutral sound bites to potentially keep him in the competition for another week. They used words like “you held your own”, “sang it pretty well but it felt artificial”, and “not a great job”.

Lee DeWyze, a former paint salesman, chose “The Boxer”. Randy said he is “ready to make records”. Simon said this season is about artists and he called the performance “sincere, emotional, brilliant.”

Crystal Bowersox sang “People Get Ready”. The most promising performer of the season had her father in the audience for the first time and broke down at the end of her song – unable to finish the last notes. We learned last week that she came close to quitting the competition and was persuaded to stay by show host Ryan Seacrest.

So who will be eliminated tonight? We believe that the judges have finally succeeded in beating down Siobhan Magnus to the point where the voters will cut her loose. Last week Magnus saved herself by coming to her own defense after being publicly flogged by Simon and Kara. The audience applauded wildly. This week she tried again to put a spin on her song choice but her words were stilted and she wasn’t able to mount a proper response.

Tuesday was elimination night on the hit ABC reality show Dancing With the Stars. It came down to the two most popular celebrity contestants this season: Pamela Anderson and Kate Gosselin.

Who went home on DWTS? It turned out to be the end of the line for the reality show mother of eight, a fact that likely brought judge Bruno great satisfaction. He has been particularly harsh with his feedback, calling her dancing “crap”. Gosselin and her partner Tony actually talked about it in an interview this week – video below.

So why did Kate’s loyal fan base turn on her? We’d hazard a guess that the clip that was played on DWTS Monday night prior to her performance cinched her ticket back to Wernersville, PA. During the lead-in video, Tony was giving her instructions and she yawned and barely reacted, sending a clear signal that she was no longer engaged in the process.

We believe that Tony deserves a medal for his patience in dealing with the TLC diva. It could not have been easy. And yet…it was great television and we were drawn to her antics week after week — and maybe even secretly thrilled when she came through unscathed during previous eliminations. DWTS has never had such high ratings and they owe her a debt of gratitude for that.

Actress and singer Scarlett Johansson graces the May 2010 cover of InStyle magazine. The gorgeous blonde is married to Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds. Photographer for the cover shoot was Michelangelo Di Battista.

In the upcoming issue of InStyle, the actress, 25, talks about her personal style, body image and her HOT married life. A homebody by nature, she said: “You’re not going to find me at 4 a.m. hitting up the club, bottle full of bub…Maybe on a rare occasion. But I’ve just never been much of a clubby, nightlife kind of person.”

She takes it a step further by admitting: “I’m not a social butterfly. I’ve never been part of a scandal that was really juicy.”

For more of the InStyle interview, pick up the May issue on newsstands this Friday, April 23.

The King of Pop lives! The Cirque du Soleil organization announced today that they will join forces with the Michael Jackson estate and produce a show in his honor. Now this is not only going to be amazing, but it will make an incredible amount of money for both Cirque and the Jackson estate. Profits and costs are going to be split evenly between both parties.

The show, featuring Jackson’s music, extensive dancing and acrobatics will begin with an arena tour next year before it makes its permanent stay in Las Vegas to join the likes of other famous Cirque shows including: KA, Zumanity, Mystere, O, The Beatles Love, Chris Angel Believe and Viva Elvis.

According to Jackson estate lawyer John Branca, “This will not just be a tribute to Michael’s musical genius, but a live entertainment experience that uses the most advanced technology to push every creative boundary as Michael always did.”

MJ’s mother Katherine Jackson expressed her excitement for the project stating, “Our family is thrilled that Cirque du Soleil will pay tribute to my son in such an important way.”

Britain’s Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle has inked a deal to write her autobiography.

The Scottish singing sensation, who shot to fame on Simon Cowell’s British version of American Idol, has teamed with publishing company Transworld to share details of her life and pay tribute to her late mother whom Susan cared for until her death in 2007, at the age of 91.

Boyle says, “When I strutted on to the stage for that audition, I was a scared wee lassie (little lady), still grieving for my mother, not caring how I looked. I think I’ve grown up a lot in the last year, become more of a lady, and I’m not so frightened anymore. I’m writing this book to try to show that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover and I hope it will benefit other people. My story demonstrates that you shouldn’t just look at the label, you should look at the whole person, emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.”

“I hope that telling it will show that dreams are not impossible, if you’ve got courage and a willingness to go on no matter what the circumstances,” adds Boyle, who has seen her albums top charts around the world the past 12 months.

The autobiography “The Woman I Was Born To Be” will hit stores in the fall.

After a year long battle with cancer, 43-year-old rapper Guru passed away on April 19, 2010. Keith Elam tried to keep his illness a secret but on March 2nd he suffered a cardiac arrest following surgery and had been in a coma since.

The news of Guru’s passing was announced on the DJ Premier Blog site. MC Guru and DJ Premier were the hip-hop duo of Gang Starr from 1989-2003, releasing six albums.

Another partner of Guru, producer Solar was given a letter that the rapper wrote while ill and he passed a copy to Premier, who published it on the blog. In the letter he addressed his illness, his music career

, family and loved one.

It seems that there was still bad blood between Guru and Premier at the time of his death. Boyle recently purchased a $447,000 home and moved out of public housing

Spencer Pratt, the resident expert on absolutely nothing, has decided that he knows a thing or two about breasts. His wife Heidi Montag recent had her implants upgraded to a hefty E or F cup size and this fact had him making a comparison to the newly enhanced chest of actress Kate Hudson.

Kate, previously flat-chested, had a small breast augmentation procedure within the past few weeks and was photographed taking in the Coachella Festival over the weekend. We recently featured pics of Kate showing off her new shape in a bikini – CLICK HERE.

Spencer was so upset by the new pics of the actress that he jumped on his Twitter page to vent his exasperation. He ‘tweeted’: “How is it possible to get breast implants and still not have breasts? Kate H – get ur money back…”

Kim Kardashian tweeted the pic above from a photo shoot in Australia and it has ruffled the feathers of some of her Twitter fans and the folks at PETA.

Kim responded on her blog saying, “Hey guys! So yesterday I was doing a photo shoot with an adorable black kitty cat and I Twitpic’d this picture… I have been getting negative comments regarding the way I was holding the kitty, but rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up. The cat was not harmed in any way and is perfectly fine! I love animals and would never do anything to harm any animals.”

TMZ spoke to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who said “It is permissible to hold a kitten by his or her scruff for a brief amount of time” … but warns, “the manner in which Ms. Kardashian is holding the kitten could lead others to mishandle animals.”

Regarding Kim’s handling of the kitten PETA says, “Kim Kardashian isn’t the only person who mistakenly thinks that because a mother cat picks up her kittens by the scruff of the neck that a supportive hand under the rump isn’t needed.”

Notorious B.I.G. was sitting on top of the world in 1997. At 24 it was speculated that he would become one of the greatest rappers of all time. While his future in music seemed extremely promising, it was cut short on March 9th, 1997 when he was shot down dead, shocking the world of Hip Hop.

There were never any arrests made in Biggie’s case and his mother Voletta Wallace blamed the LAPD and L.A. city officials as contributors in her son’s death. In 2002 Wallace followed up her accusations with a wrongful death lawsuit

. In 2006 the Wallace family was awarded $ 1.1 million when U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper ruled in their favor.

This ruling was later overturned when it was believed that the family had withheld information during the original investigation and case. The Wallace family, hoping for a better outcome, returned to court this year. This week, after several hearings and an eight year endeavor, federal court judge Jacqueline Nguyen dismissed the case.

Although Biggie Small’s family did not win the case, it has been 13 years since his death and his music and memory continue to vividly live on. To some his immortality could be considered the bigger win.

Shaunie O’Neal, estranged wife of Shaquille O’Neal, isn’t taking any chances after Shaq’s latest threats and has contacted her legal team.

Shaq is being accused of trying to pry information from their children about Shaunie’s new boyfriend. The kids are feeling intimidated and are reportedly afraid of their father. The couple have four children ranging from age 3 to 10, and she has a 12-year-old son from a previous relationship.

The NBA great allegedly told his 6-year-old son to relay a message to the boyfriend: “Shaq is going to kill you.” The child was afraid and said that his father screamed at him, “Say it now! My daddy is going to kill you!”

Shaunie’s lawyers sent a letter to Shaquille’s legal team asking that he put a stop to any and all “inappropriate discussions.” According the the lawyer, this recent behavior has put the basketball legend in violation of the non-disparagement provision of the divorce agreement.

The 45th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards were held at MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Sunday night. The telecast was hosted by Reba McEntire and featured performance by most of the top country artists.

Top Male Vocalist honors went to Brad Paisley. Miranda Lambert won Top Video for “White Liar”, Top Album for “Revolution” and Top Female Vocalist. The 26-year-old has been nominated for multiple awards over the past five years and finally made a breakthrough last night, much to the delight of the audience who gave her a standing ovation after her musical performance.

Carrie Underwood was given the special Triple Crown Award for previously winning Best New Female Artist, Best Female Artist and Entertainer of the Year. The former American Idol winner also took Entertainer of the Year honors for the second year in a row.

Lady Antebellum won Song of the Year, Single Record of the Year, and Top Vocal Group of the Year.

The three hour presentation was light on big moments and the sound technicians had numerous problems during the majority of performances. One highlight was Brad Paisley dropping backwards into a pool of water after removing his guitar and handing it off to someone in the audience. He then accepted his award for Top Male Artist while still soaking wet.

Brooks & Dunn are reportedly in the last year of performing. They sang “My Maria” and then went on to win Vocal Duo of the Year — a parting gift it would seem. In their acceptance speech they reported that they are in “Brett Favre waffling mode” right now with regard to their retirement decision.

Best New Artist honors went to Luke Bryan.

Just when you think there couldn’t possibly be any new reality show themes, another is announced. This time it’s about celebrities who cheat on their loved ones. Co-hosting the show will be Michelle “Bombshell” McGee and Jamie Jungers.

Because of their demonstrated expertise on the subject, the former mistresses of Jesse James and Tiger Woods were an obvious choice for the new project. These ladies know a thing or two about being the “other woman” so they should be a perfect casting fit.

The shows creator is Bobby Goldstein, who also produced the original show “Cheaters”. This time the twist is that it will be all about celebrities getting caught in the act. Lawsuits? We are guessing so.

It seems that on a daily basis now at least one celeb is being outed as a cheater or is suffering from sexual dysfunction

of some sort, so we are thinking they will have a large canvas to work with.

McGee actually tried to get on the original show “Cheaters” to expose an ex who she thought was cheating on her. The show turned her down…ironic.

Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks graces the cover of Esquire magazine’s May 2010 “Women” issue. She landed the front spot because she was judged ‘Best Looking Woman in America’ in a survey that had 10,000 women respondents.

Actually 30 percent of those who participated in the survey voted for the Joan Holloway character as their top pick. Hendricks came in ahead of Megan Fox and Adriana Lima.

Another question was posed to the survey group. When asked ‘If you were/are a lesbian, which woman would you rather?” The same 10,000 females picked Zooey Deschanel, followed by Fox and Lima.

Hendricks continues to claim that she has not had implants to enhance her figure – and is just naturally endowed. In any case, she gets plenty of attention because of her curves.

Christina recently participated in a decidedly alluring photo shoot for New York magazine wearing a corset – see the pics here.

Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian will appear nude on an upcoming episode of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami. They took part in a photo shoot wearing nothing but body paint. The entire process was captured on video and will be aired when Season 2 begins in June.

Actually the reality stars teamed up with the two newest Miami DASH Dolls Jessica and Katy to shoot promo pictures for their fashion line. The foursome spent an entire day getting airbrushed for the project. Photographer Nick Saglimbeni is responsible for the pics. He also did the photography for several of Kim Kardashian’s 2011 calendars.

DASH Miami is a clothing and accessory boutique owned and operated by Kourtney and Khloe. The business launched in May 2009. Kim K is also a part owner but with much less involvement than her sibs.

Police switchboards were flooded with reports of a streaking fireball in the night sky throughout the Midwestern states last night. The phenomenon was witnessed by residents in Northern Wisconsin on Wednesday shortly after10:00 p.m. Sights were also reported in Northern Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri.

According to the National Weather Service, the intensely bright light could have been a large meteorite. It traveled from west to east and was visible for about 15 minutes before it broke up prior to reaching the horizon. Some people reported hearing sonic booms. Others reported that their homes, trees, and wind chimes shook as the object passed overhead.

The NWS said that there is a meteor shower called Gamma Virginids that is visible from April 4 to April 21, with peak activity on Wednesday and Thursday. If you missed last night’s show, you have another opportunity tonight,.

In September 2003 singer Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels exchanged wedding vows in Malibu, California. Now almost 9 years later the two have decided to go their separate ways.

Melissa’s rep confirmed the news to People magazine, “Melissa and Tammy Etheridge are saddened to announce that they are now separated.” As with most celebrity splits, the following statement was released: “We ask for consideration and respect for our family as we go through this difficult time.”

It was a double elimination on the hit FOX reality show American Idol Wednesday night. Because the judges used their save last week to keep Michael Lynche in the competition, it was determined that two of the remaining nine competitors would be given their walking papers this week.

Show host Ryan Seacrest reported that after the 22 million votes were tallied, the two going home were Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens. All is not lost for the singing hopefuls because they will rejoin the rest of their Idol pals when summer rolls around. Having made the Top 10, they are guaranteed a contract to travel on the AI tour.

Performing last night were Brooke White and Justin Gaston who sang “If I Can Dream” – check it out here.

The seven remaining contestants are Crystal Bowersox, Siobhan Magnus, Michael Lynche, Tim Urban, Aaron Kelly, Lee DeWyze, and Casey James.

Kristen Stewart flew to Budapest to celebrate turning 20 on April 9th with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. The two have been linked romantically for almost a year but neither has confirmed they’re dating.

Now, rumors have surfaced that Pattinson has been spending time with, and frequently texting, Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester.

In Touch Weekly reports that Rob was spotted entering Leighton’s New York apartment and he did not leave until 11am the next morning. According to an insider, “He ducked out of the building and hopped into a waiting car. He apparently spent the night with Leighton, and didn’t want anyone to know!”

The source also says Pattinson was carrying an overnight bag when he made his hasty exit.

A friend of Leighton’s confirms the relationship, adding that the pair are still in constant contact. “She’s having a texting romance with him, and is so into it. She talks with Rob almost daily,” her friend claims.

Russian musician and singer Oksana Grigorieva was the other woman in the breakup of the 30 year marriage of Mel Gibson and his wife Robyn Gibson. The pair began their relationship a year ago and have a 5-month-old daughter Lucia, who was born on October 30, 2009. The romance has reportedly run its course and they have opted to split.

Gibson’s publicist indicates that Mel and Oksana are both wrapped up in their careers and simply drifted apart. Mel is currently in Mexico filming “How I Spent My Summer Vacation.” Grigorieva is preparing to put on a charity concert in Russia.

The 54-year-old actor has seven other children. Oksana has a 12-year-old son Alexander with former boyfriend Timothy Dalton.
