Tiger and the Other Woman Both Speak Out

HHeartbreaker — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:15:38 GMT

There was much talk about the single-car accident that Tiger Woods was in but there had been up to that point, very little talk from Tiger regarding the alleged affair between Tiger and Rachel Uchitel, a woman that is not his wife, Elin. Tiger has now given a statement regarding the car crash and he seems to be apologizing for any ill-doing in his marriage, while actually apologizing and taking responsibility for the accident. It’s a clever way to do it because he says what he wants to say but doesn’t actually broach the subject of the affair. He also tries to make Elin come off sounding really good, which was unnecessary in my opinion, but still nice. There’s much talk on Tiger’s part about how she was brave to come to his rescue and how she was to blame for none of it. From US, “After canceling again on a meeting with Florida Highway Patrol troopers Sunday, Tiger Woods has released a statement on his website about Friday’s car accident and the injuries he sustained. Woods, 33, says, “the only person responsible for this accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.” The golfer remains vague about certain details about the night, and about ongoing allegations of his affair with Rachel Uchitel. The full statement is below: “As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore. This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again. This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible. The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false. This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.” So it seems that Tiger really is the great guy that we thought he was and that he made a big mistake. A big one. Even if it was only one night, it was a big mistake. And I’m starting to think more and more that there is something to those rumors especially seeing as how Tiger and his wife are having out-of-control, golf club-swinging fights, public fights. But Rachel Uchitel is claiming differently. And her friends are claimingdifferently even than that. Rachel is saying that there was never anything going on between her and Tiger. Meanwhile, her ‘friends’ are saying that that’s not true. And that in fact, Rachel is often attaching herself to big celebrity names. People is reporting on how Rachel has hired herself a celebrity lawyer (no doubt) and that she doesn’t want the attention that this affair, which never even happened, has caused. From People, “The so-called “other woman” who supposedly sparked Tiger Woods’s accident has hired a high-profile celebrity lawyer and issued an adamant denial about any relationship with the golfing champ. “I did not have any involvement with him [Woods],” Rachel Uchitel told E! News. “Whatever was written in the Enquirer was not said by me, it was said by two people that claimed they were friends of mine, but they’re not.” She added: “I am overwhelmed, so I hired Gloria Allred to handle the situation. I don’t want to get this much attention, and I wish everybody would leave me alone.” Sources contradict Uchitel’s account, however, saying she’s claimed flings not only with Woods but with actor David Boreanaz, and that her mother has told friends her daughter has dated New York Yankee players Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. “She is a fun party girl; she was definitely into celebrities,” a source tells PEOPLE. “She’s into being around famous people. Her job was to rack up VIP clientele. She is a flirtatious girl.” I pretty much take Rachel’s word for nothing because it’s a simple case of she-said, she-said nonsense. But I do put quite a bit of stock in Tiger and Elin’s relationship. Yes, I understand that all married couples fight and they just happen to be under a microscope, particularly right now. But, they had an argument that was big enough to make Tiger drive himself into a tree. That’s over something pretty big. Big like, affair big.

Apparently We Thought Reese and Jake Had Split Up. But They Havent.

HHeartbreaker — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:37:01 GMT

I don’t like the fact that there are rumors floating around that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have split up one bit! I didn’t even hear about rumors of these two being in trouble until I read a denial of the rumor from Reese’s camp. Apparently, the two are fine and the rumors are not true. But I don’t know. Once rumors start, usually sooner or later with things like this, they turn out being true a couple of months down the road. And the two have been pretty quiet about their relationship, up until just lately. I had thought that was a sign that they really were starting to become very, very serious and so, ready to start showing that love more. Hopefully, I’m right and this really is just an ugly rumor. From US, “Contrary to reports elsewhere Sunday, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have not broken up. A rep for Witherspoon, 33, tells Usmagazine.com: “It’s not true. They have not split.” The actress met Gyllenhaal, 28, while filming 2007’s Rendition, and the pair stepped out together, confirming their relationship in summer 2008. In the April 2009 issue of Elle, the actress gushed about Gyllenhaal. “He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy.” Witherspoon divorced actor Ryan Phillippe in 2007 after eight years together; they have two children: Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6. After two years together, Gyllenhaal and girlfriend Kirsten Dunst called it quits in 2004. Witherspoon told Parade magazine last year, “Things change..But your ability to love remains intact. Oh, I have a lot of hope for love! I do!” Reese does always seem so positive and hopeful, doesn’t she? Even when she was going through that nasty divorce with that nasty Phillipe. But I really hope that any rumors of Reese and Jake really are just rumors that they are laughing away together. I love these two together so much and it seems as though they’ve worked really hard, and really slowly, at making their relationship what it is. And Reese really was gushing about him just last month. So who knows. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed for these two.

Even though I still can’t quite swallow the name Lou for a girl, I can’t deny that the sweetness in this face is all girl! How pretty is this picture of Mom and her new baby girl? Of course, you could stand Heidi Klum next to a sack of potatoes and it would be a stunning picture. But put her next to such a gorgeous little face and well, nuff said. Lou Samuel, the new daughter of Heidi Klum and Seal is almost two months old and Heidi posted this first picture of Lou on her website. So pretty!

Things Get Ugly Between Tiger and His Wife

HHeartbreaker — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:02:16 GMT

Well it seems the whole news of this affair isn’t something silly that Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren, are blowing off. We have all heard by now of the big car accident that Tiger got into that was said to have caused the scratches on his face. Turns out, the car accident was the least of his problems and the scratches on his face were actually caused by his wife. Yes, minutes before Tiger drove his SUV into a tree, his wife had chased him out of the driveway, screaming and swinging a golf club around all the while. So apparently, there is something to those rumors after all. Elin was obviously embarrassed over her actions (or worried that they could land her in legal hot water) because her story was that she came out of the house, saw the accident, and then went back in to get the golf club so she could help Tiger. Yeah, a likely story. TMZ is all over this Tiger Woods story and here’s this bit, “Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, changed the story she told the first officer on the scene, according to law enforcement sources. The Windemere Police Department says Tiger’s wife went outside, saw that her husband had struck a fire hydrant and a tree, and then went back inside the house for a golf club to use to try and extricate him from the vehicle. But we’ve learned Nordegren told a very different story to the Florida Highway Patrol, and it does not involve going back in the house for a club. Our sources will not allow us to be more specific. And we’ve learned there was no blood found on the steering wheel of Tiger’s SUV — putting into serious doubt that Tiger sustained his injuries from the crash. As we first reported, Tiger had a conversation with a friend yesterday, in which he said his wife had confronted him over reports he was involved with another woman … and that his wife scratched his face up during the argument. Tiger told the friend he then left the house, started driving off and his wife then came out with a golf club, striking the vehicle. Tiger then became distracted and hit the hydrant and then a nearby tree. We’re told cops will interview Tiger and his wife later today. UPDATE: A neighbor tells TMZ they saw cops show up at Tiger’s house this morning — only to get turned away again. Tiger’s wife, Elin, was spotted (below) driving out of the Isleworth subdivision in Windermere earlier today.” Oh be careful, those in Isleworth! That is a very, very scorned woman behind the wheel! I don’t think she should be embarrassed. It’s actually the least she can do after her husband publicly humiliated her like that. And it’s nice to see that sometimes even those living under the microscope have human reactions sometimes. I get so sick of the “we’re dealing with this privately” and “could not be reached for comment.” I realize it’s necessary much of the time but every so often, it’s nice to see something that’s just so genuinely real. And the fact that she made Tiger drive himself smack into a tree is a nice touch too.

Gerard Butler Has Daddy Issues

HHeartbreaker — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 19:36:46 GMT

I like Gerard Butler less and less. I’m not much of one for womanizers to begin with, and I see absolutely no appeal to Gerard so, it makes even less sense to me. Being linked with names like Jennifer Aniston, Cheryl Burke, and Cameron Diaz, it’s widely known that Gerard Butler truly does like to explore his options. And then while filming Law Abiding Citizen, apparently he couldn’t get along with Jamie Foxx, because Foxx kept sneaking away to Vegas. I guess Gerard was upset that Jamie would get to those women before he could. But just about everything I’ve heard about Gerard Butler has put him in a dim light. Now it seems, there’s a reason behind his actions, or at least all of the field-playing. And Gerard tells us, it’s because his dad left him at a very young age. Apparently, Gerard’s dad left him when Gerard was just two and having grown up without a father, he’s now a commitment-phobe. Oh, give me a break. I’m so sick and tired of men (and women too) blaming everything on how they were raised and that’s why they have so many issues. Grow up and own what ya got, people. We’re all adults now. From Digital Spy, “Gerard Butler has reportedly admitted that he has commitment problems. The Law Abiding Citizen star, who recently said that rumours about his love life are harming his reputation, has insisted that his issues with women stem from his father not being around. The 40-year-old told Joy magazine: “I act very awkward when I am with women. Perhaps that’s because my mother brought me up alone. My father gambled away all our money and eventually went bankrupt. “So one night our family had to flee head-over-heels to Canada. At that time, my mother was five months pregnant with me. Shortly after my second birthday, my father let us down. It is said that men who grow up without a father have a fear of commitment.” Butler also revealed that he needs to find the right woman first to start a family, saying: “It’s about time. But a woman by my side would be very helpful in this project.” I also love how he’s looking for a woman, not because he wants to share that kind of love with someone, or because he knows there’s someone out there just for him, but because he needs a baby-machine. And the reason why he needs a baby-machine? Well, because it’s about time. Another really great reason to have a child. And an even better reason to find someone to have that child for you. Seriously, is this guy for real? Can anyone really be that bad at interviews? And why women all over the world going gaga over Gerard Butler? Well, it beats me. But I never got that whole Russell Crowe thing either.

Are Amy and Blake Re-Engaged?

HHeartbreaker — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 02:12:53 GMT

I hate to say “re-engaged” because, I’m not quite sure whether or not Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil were ever engaged in the first place or if they just got married the first time during some really bad trip. But, if they got engaged the first time, then rumors are that they may be engaged again. And if they were engaged, well, you get the idea. Yes, rumors are going around that Amy Winehouse is engaged and that her fiance is none other than her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. My, my, Amy’s been a busy girl between breast implants that exploded shortly afterwards and reconnecting with the old flame that took her down the crazy road of severe drug addiction. I don’t know if these rumors are true. I don’t know if Amy and Blake are back together. And I certainly don’t know if they are planning on getting remarried. But dear lord, I hope not. Here’s what Celebrity Dirty Laundry says about it, “Amy Winehouse leaves the clinic in which she has been residing to go for a stroll with a few bodyguards in London, UK on November 24, 2009. Rumors have been circulating that the troubled songstress is to remarry her ex-husband Blake Fielder Civil, and judging from the engagement ring she was sporting, there is some truth to the rumors!” If there is any truth to these rumors, I can just imagine how upset her parents are by it. And how upset the rest of us will be by it. Just to be clear, thepicture above is one of the pics snapped by paparazzi as Amy left the clinic and this picture is a close-up of the giant rock she was sporting. I don’t know, is that a giant rock? Is it an engagement ring? Do you think it’s possible that Amy and Blake are doing more than bumping uglies again? Or is it all just a big publicity stunt on Amy’s part now that her whole breast explosion thing has blown over?

Is Tiger Woods Really a Big, Fat Cheater?

HHeartbreaker — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 01:54:01 GMT

Stories have been going around just within the past couple of days that Tiger Woods is having, or at least was having, an affair with some Rachel woman that is making ludicrous claims against Tiger. According to Rachel Uchitel, aka. Homewrecker, Tiger Woods is in love with her and ready to leave his wife to have a life with Rachel. When I first heard the story, I have to say, it was something I dismissed right away as pure tabloid trash. Then I looked into it a little bit and I have to say, I think no differently after finding out same facts. This Rachel woman seems to have some pretty strong feelings for Tiger and I’m pretty sure that Tiger does not have them in return. I think maybe, maybe, on some level, it could be possible that Tiger had one night with this woman and it’s just gone completely to hell. I hate to say even that much because Tiger does seem like a very decent person to me. But the fact that he’s kinda sorta acknowledging the fact that he does know this woman at all, makes me think that there might be more here than what we’re hearing. But the whole thing just gets really weird and that’s why I think, this Rachel woman’s train might have gone off the track a long time ago. She ends up looking, not like a used and hurt woman like she’s trying to, but a crazed and jealous stalker person who doesn’t want Tiger seeing other women. What?!? He’s married!! He’s going to see another woman every single day! So, my take on the whole thing is that he probably did have “relations” with this woman, and she took it for way, way more than what it was. Way more. From Times Live, “Another popular sports star is involved in rumours of having cheated on his wife, and this time it’s not David Beckham nor is it Joost van der Westhuizen but its golfing star Tiger Woods. In a exlcusive spread in the National Enquirer’s December issue, the tabloid is breaking news that say Woods is “a big, fat cheater”. In their report they claim he’s cheating on his former model wife of six years Elin Norgegren, who is also the mother of his two children. Their sources who are friends of “the other woman”. The other woman is also revealed in the story as the events planner Rachel Uchitel, the same woman that Bones star David Boreanaz alleged had an affair with when his wife was pregnant earlier this year. THE ENQUIRER WROTE: Rachel told friends that her liaison with Tiger began in June in New York and has “played out in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Australia.” Friends say Rachel told them she and Tiger stay in touch by phone and texting. “I’m sure Tiger thinks Rachel is staying quiet about their affair, but she’s told lots of people,” says Ashley Samson, a close friend of Rachel’s. Samson also passed a polygraph test. “Rachel told me, ‘I’m having an affair with Tiger Woods. We’re in love!’ She even read me text messages Tiger sent her that said ‘I love you, babe. It’s always going to be just you and me.’” More from Samson, who sounds like she has some kind ax to grind: “I’m shocked that Rachel would be so casual about an affair that could break up Tiger’s family. It’s crazy.” Rachel was alleged boning David Boreanaz and Tiger around the same time, from June through August, when she broke it off with Boreanaz. Allegedly. Another friend of Rachel’s (who also passed a polygraph) says: “They were constantly sexting. Tiger asked what she was wearing, what did she want him to do to her, what did she want to do to him. I reminded Rachel that he was married, and she said ‘Big f-cking deal! It’s Tiger Woods! I don’t care about his wife! We’re in love.’ Her nickname for Tiger is Bear.” Rachel traveled to Australia to have a secret tryst with Tiger/Bear while he was playing the Australian Masters. An Enquirer reporter watched Rachel check in to Tiger’s hotel, and watched her elevator go up to the 35th floor, where Tiger had a VIP suite. When Rachel was contacted by the Enquirer about the tryst, she first lied about her reasons for being there, and about having another boyfriend, but later said she was in Australia “for business”. However, she says that she and Tiger met on two other occasions. Rachel: “I don’t want to be somebody’s number two. I don’t want to be with a married man.” Tiger’s lawyer told the Enquirer that Tiger may have met Rachel in a club at some point, but “vehemently denied an affair”. Rachel’s friends claim she bitched and whined about the Enquirer tracking her on her Australian tryst, and that she complained “I only got to spend one day with Tiger!” Rachel’s friends also claim she’s given up dating other men and is seeing Tiger exclusively. Rachel also claims to her friends that she’s a “one-man woman with Tiger” and that Tiger tells her “I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up to you every morning.” To which Rachel replies: “You can’t – you have a wife and two kids.” Tiger replies: “I’ll fix that!” Tiger and Rachel fight because she thinks he’s seeing other women. Not his wife. Rachel also thinks, according to her friends, that Tiger is about to leave his wife for her.” Seriously, the fact that she stopped seeing other men because she was dating Tiger is just so ludicrous to me that it indicates this woman has some serious mental health issues. But then I do understand that lots of people who are dating married people are under the delusion that their boyfriend or girlfriend is going to leave their spouse for them. In a way, I feel badly for Tiger. Just goes to show that money really can’t buy you everything, like a perfect marriage. And on the other hand, I don’t feel bad for him. Anyone who would cheat on their family, even just once, is just scum.

Sienna and Jude Hook Back Up

HHeartbreaker — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:26:23 GMT

I don’t understand why Sienna Miller and Jude Law ever broke up. They were perfect together. He was happy being Jude Law and not giving two pahooties what anyone had to say about it. And she was happy being Sienna Miller and ‘dating the cute boy’ while she tried to rise to fame herself. She did quite well for herself. She’s more known for her tawdry romantic relationships than she is her acting capabilities. But now it seems that since they’re both single, they may as well start hooking up again for old time’s sake. These two are both so wrong that somehow together, they just seem right. From New York Daily News, “Jude Law and Sienna Miller have been insisting that they’re “just friends,” but they certainly looked like more than pals during the wee hours of Thursday night. The former lovebirds arrived together at The Box after their respective Broadway performances – Jude is starring in “Hamlet” and Sienna is lighting up the stage in “After Miss Julie” – and a spy at the lower East Side hot spot saw the two get more and more cozy as the night wore on. “They came in together and got a table with a few friends around 1 a.m.,” the source dished. “At one point, Jude ordered shots for the two of them, and he was egging her on to take one. They were laughing a lot and whispering to each other – it looked like they were genuinely having a good time.” And perhaps Jude’s former lady love will make the notorious playboy settle down again – our spy continued that although several females approached the table to get the actor’s attention, he only had eyes for Sienna. “Jude’s a regular at The Box and a lot of people know him there,” the source said. “So he had a ton of people coming up to say hi to him, many of them female, but he really only seemed interested in Sienna.” So much so, in fact, that at one point he brought the actress to meet another group of friends, and led her through the crowded club by the hand. “It looked like he wanted people to see that they were together,” the partygoer dished. Reps for Law have previously admitted that although they have indeed seen each other while living in New York, no romance has been rekindled. But our source begs to differ. “They certainly looked like more than just friends,” the spy insisted, noting that they both disappeared around 3:30 a.m.” So I guess now the question is, does anyone really care? Both Jude Law and Sienna Miller are such schmarmy, trampy people that I don’t think it shocks nor interests anyone no matter what they do. I have never been a big fan of Sienna Miller’s, and before Jude Law proved himself to be a complete scumbag by knocking up random women and then not stepping up, I still didn’t have much interest in him. So yes, there is a real possibility that these two have plans to hook back up. Let the drama begin.

Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood Both New at Relationships

HHeartbreaker — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:12:06 GMT

So maybe the secret to a high-profile relationship is it stemming from two people who are very low-profile in their past dating relationships? So seems to be the case with Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood, who have been very public about their relationship lately. Carrie has been showing up more and more often at Senators games and she also included a line on her new album, Play On to him, telling him outright that she loved him. Mike in response seems to be going with blushing and indirectly telling us that he feels exactly the same way about her. These two are just so cute it kills me! And even though they do seem to love each other very much, neither of them are seriously thinking about marriage or moving in together at this point. Mike has both denied it and Carrie has made it very clear that her old fashioned values go farther than just into her songs. So even though I think we will see these two get married someday, it won’t be any day soon. From US, “He’s a star hockey player for the Ottawa Senators today, but Mike Fisher might be turning over a new leaf: recording artist! After his girlfriend Carrie Underwood wrote “I love you” to him in her new album’s liner notes, the 29 year-old athlete jokes, “I told her that when my CD came out, I’d return the favor.” In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Fisher poo-poos marriage talk but admits that Underwood, 26, is only his second “serious girlfriend.” “There has been only one other girlfriend, really,” he says. “It lasted a while, but it was a long time ago.” Similarly, Underwood recently told Ellen DeGeneres that her one-year relationship with Fisher is “the longest relationship I’ve had.” In the Play On liner notes, Underwood coos of Fisher. “You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day.” “Obviously, it was very nice,” Fisher tells the Toronto Sun of the tribute. “I was happy she included me in something like that.” Stressing their need for privacy, Fisher acknowledges, “we’re both happy with the way things are . . . I’m obviously happy . . .things are great off the ice.” Last week on Ellen, Underwood stressed that they have no plans to move in together. “Call me old fashioned,” she said. “The next guy I move in with will be my hubby. Who ever that is. I’m not saying it’s going to be him.” Sigh. These two make my heart pitter patter.

Drew and Justin are in Trouble

HHeartbreaker — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:39:40 GMT

In the on-again/off-again relationship that is Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, the current status is currently on-again, but it’s looking like it’s about to be off at any moment. We didn’t hear too much about these two after they got back together earlier this year but now, rumors are that these two are headed for Splitsville. Apparently, Justin moved in with Drew and Drew can’t tolerate his slovenly ways. I don’t know whether or not this is true, I hadn’t even heard that they had moved in together (not that that means anything really.) But when they broke up last summer, rumors were also that it was because Drew had taken back to drinking and partying. And clearly, that wasn’t true. So whether or not these rumors are true, I don’t know. This is the story from Star, “It’s back to the bachelor pad for Justin Long! The “I’m a Mac” guy was booted from girlfriend Drew Barrymore’s four-bedroom Hollywood Hills home in early November, Star has learned. And though the two are still dating for now, their relationship could be in danger if he doesn’t clean up. “Drew really had it with being Justin’s babysitter at home,” says a source. “And it’s not just that he made a mess, it’s his attitude. He gets mopey and is a big-time couch potato. She isn’t thrilled about seeing this side of him.” Problems surfaced almost as soon as the pair — who first sparked in summer 2007, split a year later and reconnected last spring — began living together in August. “Drew hadn’t figured Justin to be a slob, but he started acting like a frat boy and left his stuff all over the place and never straightened up after himself,” says the source. “It drove her nuts!” Drew, 34, finally had enough of the chaotic living situation. But she wasn’t quite ready to call it quits entirely. “She gently told Justin that things would be better between them if he moved back to his own place,” says the source. “Then it would be special when they’re together — they wouldn’t feel like an old married couple.” The good news? Justin, 31, is trying to change his ways. “It was really the wake up call he needed,” says the source. “He knows Drew’s a great girl. He’s going to do everything he can to make her happy.” I understand that Justin would do anything to make her happy. But, to think that you can move in with someone, not be able to work it out, and have one person need to leave, and still think that the relationship is going to last, is just plain wrong to me. Going forward is a huge deal. But if you need to go backward after that, it spells trouble. Sadly, if this rumor is true, I don’t think we’ll see these two go through another on-again phase. I think you can only try so many times. But I hope it’s not true. I love Drew and Justin together. And hopefully, they’re at home right now laughing off the current rumors.

Apparently, Anderson Cooper is Gay and Ready to Come Out

HHeartbreaker — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:26:40 GMT

I started reading this article in the National Enquirer about how Anderson Cooper is very serious about his current love interest and how the two are thinking about moving in together. Disappointed, because Anderson Cooper makes the news a sin in my books, he’s so damn hot, I read on. His love interest is a man and the two have been very serious for about 8 months. I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t heard this ‘Anderson Cooper is gay’ rumor before, much less that he was serious about someone. But then I learned that apparently, no one knew about this because Cooper kept his sexuality on the very down-low. But, this Ben character that he’s seeing, has apparently changed all that and now Anderson is ready to go public with Ben. From the National Enquirer, “CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has found love with the buff owner of a gay bar – and pals say the couple is moving in together. The award-winning newsman, 42, has been quietly seeing 36-year-old New Yorker Ben Maisani for the last eight months, and they’re now house-hunting, The ENQUIRER has learned. “Anderson has found his ‘Mr. Right’ in Ben. Their relationship is so solid they want to move in together, and they’ve been looking at Manhattan real estate,” a longtime friend told The ENQUIRER. The two met briefly years ago, and were reintroduced earlier this year, according to a CNN insider. They recently vacationed at a romantic resort in Jaipur, India – the Rambagh Palace – where their opulent $3,200-a-night room had views of the gardens of the former Maharaja palace. “I’ve seen Anderson have crushes before, but he’s been telling pals that this is the real thing,” said the CNN source. “He plans to sell his condo and move in with Ben. They looked at an old firehouse in Greenwich Village that Anderson wanted to convert into a residence.” While he’s widely considered one of TV’s sexiest newsmen, prematurely gray Cooper has long been the source of gay speculation. With Ben’s love and support, he may finally come out of the closet, the friend said. “Anderson firmly believes that media members should keep their personal lives private, but for years he’s dropped hints that he’s gay,” the source said. “Now that he’s with Ben – who is certainly not shy about his sexuality – Anderson is seriously considering publicly acknowledging his sexuality.” Ben co-owns a raunchy gay bar, the Eastern Bloc, and while he’s in fantastic shape, he’s also an intellectual who was the valedictorian of his Hunter College graduating class in 2000, the source said. The two share a love for horror movies, good wine and photography, friends say. “Anderson and Ben do everything together. They bike and work out at the gym,” said the source. “They also like to have intimate dinners alone and with friends.” Meanwhile, the relationship has delighted their friends. “Anderson says Ben is the first guy who he can see sharing his life with,” said the CNN insider. The source added: “Up until now, Anderson has refused to comment on his sexuality. He wanted to be a serious newscaster – not ‘the gay newscaster.’ But Anderson cares so much about Ben that he’s ready to change his attitude. That’s what love will do for you.” I don’t think Anderson Cooper needs to worry about not being taken seriously as a newscaster. There’s extensive footage of him right in the fields during time of war, natural disaster, and whatever other horrors most of us only see in our nightmares. The news that he’s gay does come as a surprise to me and I have to say, I’m disappointed. Not because he doesn’t like women, but because he’ll never have an interest in me. Because really, that’s the only thing standing in our way.

What Did You Think of Adam Lamberts AMAs Performance?

HHeartbreaker — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:07:57 GMT

So one of the many big scandals that came out of last night’s American Music Awards ceremony was Adam Lambert’s performance. I was expecting something from Adam that I would find completely grotesque but that’s just because it’s Adam Lambert and in general, I find him completely grotesque. But the big deal ended up being that during his performance, he made out briefly with his keyboardist, who happens to be a man. Now, when I first read that Adam Lambert ‘wasn’t apologizing for his same-sex kiss’, I actually thought “Good for him!” I mean, I hate him but everyone has rights. Then I watched the clip from the show and thought, “Oh my God! He should apologize!” Adam Lambert reportedly makes no apologies for sharing a same-sex kiss onstage because it’s entertainment and it was a sexy song and women have been doing this for ages. And really, he’s completely right. Madonna and Britney popped into my head before I read on to see that he actually mentions them by name when talking about the double standard. I hated that kiss these two women shared at the Video Music Awards a couple of years ago. And I hated it for the same reason – it has nothing to do with music, nothing to do with the performance. It’s all about shocking just for the sake of shocking. And not in the good Eminem-kind-of-way. But again, then I saw the video and think that Adam Lambert’s performance is even grosser. For one, it’s Adam Lambert and he just tries to be so over-the-top that it makes me ill watching him perform. But mostly, the whole entire performance was a giant sex show. Adam trounced around the stage, not showing that he had any talent other than groping various men and women while he bopped along to the music. His pitiful attempt at dancing was completely lost on me. And the kiss? It comes closer to the end and really, was the least offensive part of the performance to me. All of this while he shrieks into a microphone and tries to look all mysterious and whatnot. Give me a break. But enough of my own Adam hate. Watch the video here, thanks to YouTube and let us know what you think!

Just in Case You Wanted to Watch the Last Jon & Kate

HHeartbreaker — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:40:20 GMT

Thank god! Jon & Kate: Plus Eight is finally over! Or, it will be in 6 1/2 hours. Tonight, the final episode of the show that makes a mockery of family life, likes to exploit children, and that should have died a very long time ago, finally, FINALLY airs! That means that unless you really want to go out of your way to watch reruns of very bad parenting practices, you will never have this sham of a marriage stuffed down your throats ever again. Well, unless you continue to read tabloids, and blogs just like this one. But tonight, TLC is finally putting the kibosh on Jon and Kate Gosselin. People has a sneak preview of the show and in it, Kate makes a very weird metaphor about her always wanting Jon to be in the driver’s seat and how she should be in the passenger seat. It’s weird because, is she saying that she wanted Jon to take more control in their marriage, or is it just a thought she has when she’s driving because Jon used to drive everywhere? Hard to say but she comes across as very awkward and trying to sound too perfect, per usual. Anyways, check out the clip here if you’re interested and see what you can make of it. If you are planning to watch the show, it airs at 9:00 EST on TLC tonight. Unless Lie to Me is a rerun or I can watch this heart-stopping last episode via the handy tool of time-shifting, I will probably not be watching it. But really, one more time, thank god that it’s finally over!!

Ryan Seacrest Does Not Know How to Make Friends

HHeartbreaker — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:05:26 GMT

It’s just been a week of awkward interviews! First Carrie Prejean had her threat of “I’m leaving your show!” on Larry King Live! last Wednesday (after which she did not in fact, walk out) and yesterday, Ryan Seacrest interviewed Robert Pattinson on his radio show and Pattinson had to walk out. Mind you, Robert was of course, much more graceful and charming about it than Carrie was. And, to be really fair to Rob, it wasn’t actually his decision to walk out. I think he was actually relieved to sit down for a minute away from the screaming and hair-yanking fans and I think he would have stayed if his manager wasn’t standing there shooing him out the door. And, as soon as his manager (or whoever she was), got upset and started saying it was time to go, Rob still tried to act like the dignified gentleman that he is. So, what was all the hubbub about? What do you think? Yes, one miss Kristen Stewart. TMZ has all the relevant footage here, and to be honest, from the moment she and Rob step through the door, she seems kinda bitchy and rushed like she wants to leave. Apparently, Ryan Seacrest was told that there were to be no questions regarding Rob and Kristen but good old stupid Ryan just plunged on ahead. Remember when he was asking stupid questions to Angelina Jolie on the red carpet at the Oscars in February? The guy is just a tool. But even after being asked what the deal is between he and Kristen, Rob still leaves the interview with grace. He says simply, “I’d tell them to watch New Moon! It’s amazing!” Then he shakes Ryan’s hand and is off. Be sure to check out the video on TMZ to see just how ridiculous both Ryan and Rob’s whoever-she-is behave. And, if you are so sick of Twilight that you can’t stand it, I suggest you go back to bed and bury your head under the covers for the next two months. Because the world has gone crazy with it and there’s no escaping it now!

Cutie Watch: Gwyn, Apple and Moses

HHeartbreaker — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:46:56 GMT

I’m not really a huge fan of Gwyneth Paltrow. And to be honest, it’s not even really her fault. It’s her super close relationship with Madonna and the fact that she gives her children ridiculous names that makes me cringe every time I hear her name. But, walking down the streets of London with her two very cute children, Apple and Moses, it’s clear that even though Gwyn may not be all that perfect in my eyes, she certainly has some very cute kids! And it’s clear that they’re happy and healthy, so I guess it doesn’t really matter what their names are. Thanks to Pop Sugar for the pic and caption!

Wynonna Judd is Fat and Jealous

HHeartbreaker — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:42:54 GMT

Seriously, what’s with all the hate on Taylor Swift? The girl cannot receive an award without somehow having that award tainted. First Kanye made his gross appearance on the VMA’s when Taylor went up to accept his award and on Wednesday, after Taylor’s Entertainer of the Year nomination at the CMA’s, Wynonna Judd had some very sinister remarks for the young girl. These came before Taylor won the award and after Taylor won, Wynonna of course, came out with her public apology. I guess the next time that Taylor is nominated to win anything, she should be prepared for someone to apologize to her. Honestly! This just makes me so mad! It wasn’t enough that she couldn’t accept her award uninterrupted at the VMA’s but to have such an honor at the CMA’s downgraded before she even won! It’s truly an outrage! Here are Wynonna’s ugly remarks and her apology, from Pop Crunch, “Wynonna issues Swift apology for CMAs diss……Wynonna Judd has apologized to Taylor Swift after taking a swipe at the 19-year-old singing superstar before her big night at the CMA Awards, where she walked away with the Entertainer of the Year trophy on Wednesday night. Prior to the ceremony, Wynonna told USA TODAY that she felt Taylor was too young to be nominated for such a prestigious award, adding that the honor was “too much, too soon … Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing soon … I want kids to earn it.” “I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift’s Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement. My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry… all of which are truly unprecedented for an artist of ANY age,” the 45-year-old said in a statement posted on her website. “Taylor is a beautiful, hard working young woman that deserves the success she has had,” she continued. “And I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business.” Ya know what I say to Wynonna? I think that she is a country music star who, no doubt, has made a name for herself. But now she’s a pathetic and fat woman who can’t seem to climb to the top of the charts like she once did. She’s always lived in the shadows of her sister, Ashley Judd, who’s also younger and hotter, and now she can’t stand living in the shadows of younger and hotter music stars. I have never been a big fan of Wynonna but I’ve also never hated her enough to make personal attacks against her. But this woman has just gotten me boiled over! Why can’t Taylor Swift accept an award in peace? The good news is that this girl has many more awards coming her way. And hopefully people will leave her alone before and after she receives them!

Even I Can Tell You This Rumor is NOT True!

HHeartbreaker — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:23:19 GMT

Maybe it’s because it comes from the National Enquirer, or maybe it’s because this allegations are just so outrageous, but these latest Jon Gosselin rumors just seem a wee bit far-fetched. According to the Enquirer, Jon has taken his partying ways to a whole new level beyond those ridiculous t-shirts he is prone to wearing. Apparently,there’s a new sex tape on the market thanks to Jon, and more than that, he’s a cokehead too! Now I’m all for tearing Jon Gosselin apart but this seems like someone taking advantage someone’s horrible personality for personal gain. From National Enquirer, “New bombshell allegations that may cost Jon Gosselin his legal war with TLC AND custody of his beloved children as well! Jon Gosselin’s day in court could end with him losing his children – due to a sex tape scandal and allegations of cocaine use! Jon’s bodyguard Thomas Meinelt has been subpoenaed to testify in TLC’s lawsuit against Jon, and The ENQUIRER has learned Meinelt claims he saw Jon snort cocaine many times, and that he’s watched Jon’s secret sex tape! “Tom told me that Jon was secretly videotaped having sex with a woman in Los Angeles in October, and he’s seen the tape!” said Stephanie Santoro, Jon’s former flame and family nanny. “Tom said people close to Jon put a camera in his hotel room, and paid a girl to flirt with Jon and have sex with him. “He also told me that he saw Jon snort cocaine on more than one occasion, and that the more Jon got into partying, the more cocaine he used!” So really, even if there is a sex tape out there with Jon Gosselin’s name on it, it sounds like he didn’t even know about it! And even though he’s a complete douche bag, we really can’t blame him for having sex, can we? I mean, sure there’s all the moral stuff such as his divorce isn’t finalized, this is cheap and tacky, blah blah blah. But it doesn’t sound like he broke any laws. Now, his friends who paid this girl to have sex, that’s another story. And the coke thing? I don’t know. I’m not saying it’s entirely impossible but I do find it hard to believe. I have no doubt that he has smoked his fair share of pot and possibly done some other drugs but being a complete and total cokehead? I just can’t see it. Then again, it sure would explain all that odd behavior, wouldn’t it?

Carrie Prejean is Officially an Idiot

HHeartbreaker — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:39:11 GMT

Carrie Prejean really is a dumb blonde. First she blames the Miss USA pageant for not winning, stating that her stance against gay marriage was what caused her to lose the pageant. I personally, don’t agree with the remarks she made about it but I did give her kudos for standing up for what she believes in even when her views might not be politically correct (or exactly politically correct, depending on which way you look at it.) But I never once thought that was the reason she lost the pageant. Now she’s out doing crazy promotion for her book Still Standing. In the book she talks about not only how she was robbed of the crown but also about the mistakes she made when she made a solo sex tape for her boyfriend when she was 17. I’m sorry, this is what makes her Still Standing? If this is the worst trauma that Carrie Prejean will deal with in her life, and the most adversity that she will ever have to face, then she is a very lucky girl. But now, she’s not only lashing out against the Miss USA pageant, but also Larry King! Carrie appeared on the Larry King Live show last night and apparently, didn’t think that he would ask any hard questions. Did she know what show she was on? The problem was that Larry King wanted to know Carrie’s motivation behind dropping the lawsuit against pageant organizers. And when she said that she couldn’t discuss the lawsuit, he said he didn’t need to know details, he just wanted to know her motivation behind it. She then claimed that he was ‘being inappropriate’ and threatened to walk off the show. That’s stupid enough. But then, after she unplugs her microphone, she just sits there doing nothing! So, are you walking off, or just making an idle threat and trying to make yourself look stupid? Seems like the latter to me. From nj.com, “Former Miss California Carrie Prejean told Larry King his questions were inappropriate and threatened to walk off his show last night. No, the talk show host didn’t ask her to pose in his suspenders. He merely tried to pin her down (metaphorically) on why she suddenly settled a religious discrimination lawsuit with pageant organizers. Prejean, who caused a stir at the Miss USA pageant earlier this year by coming out against gay marriage, has confirmed that a sexy video she made for a former boyfriend turned up during the negotiations, but she refused to discuss the mediation, saying it was “completely confidential.” King says he wasn’t asking her about the nature of the settlement, but the motive behind the settlement. “Larry, you’re being inappropriate, you really are,” a tight-faced Prejean responds. Prejean’s camp told CNN later that she refused to continue with the show because King decided to take call-in questions. The first was from a gay man who wanted wedding advice, but the camera captures Prejean removing the microphone even before he posed the question. But for some reason, Prejean stays in her seat, and when King asks her if she heard the question, Prejeans reiterates that his questions were inappropriate, then remains seated, her face turned to the side as an awkward silence ensues until King cuts to a commercial.” Yep, Carrie Prejean is officially an idiot. I’m all for a girl taking a stance and sticking to it. But she needs to stick to it! So, if you’re going to walk off the show, walk off the show. Don’t just say you are and then sit there looking like an idiot. And, her threat was so stupid to begin with. This girl is promoting her book right now! But she won’t take questions from callers that are the same people that will buy her book? Does she have any idea what she’s doing? And who the hell makes a solo sex tape anyway? I’ve never understood the reasoning behind any sex tape of any kind but, a solo one? That really baffles me. I’m going to take a chance and say, don’t waste your money on Carrie’s book. I haven’t read it but I’m betting that it’s filled with drivel and it’s Carrie’s chance to have a big pity party for herself. Please don’t support it and give her reason to write another one. The sooner we stop hearing from this girl, the better.

Whats the Deal with Kristen and Rob?

HHeartbreaker — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:39:35 GMT

When the rumors first started circulating that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were a hot and heavy couple, I blew it off. I thought that it was convenient that there was a rumor that two of the hottest stars in the hottest movie of the year were suddenly ‘linked romantically.’ But then, the rumors started to rub off on me. We never saw Kristen with her boyfriend on set anymore but we did see Kristen spending a whole lot more time with – guess who? Rob! The very person that she was rumored to be dating. As time went on, it became quite clear to me, and to the world, I think, that Rob and Kristen were an item – big time. But those rumors were once again shot down by Rob. This newest rumor-bust came from his latest interview in Vanity Fair where he made it quite clear that he and Kristen were not dating. But, Rob made one mistake. He went to Paris with Kristen, doing more promotion I would guess, and the two were caught on camera in this picture holding hands. Yeah, that’s the thing about PDA’s. They can be quick to dispel everything you’ve just said. This, combined with the fact that a costar pretty much put it up on Twitter that the two are certainly dating, and it’s hard to deny it any longer. From US, “Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson were spotted holding hands at a Paris airport on their way to London Tuesday night. Their Twilight costar Peter Facinelli linked to the image on his Twitter page with a note: “Co-stars caught holding hands. Guess this picture proves everything.” The two have refused to confirm whether they’re an item. Asked about rumors, Stewart, 19, recently told Entertainment Weekly, “I probably would’ve answered if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it. But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer.” Pattinson, 23, couldn’t help but sing Stewart’s praises in November’s Harper’s Bazaar while promoting the latest installment of the vampire series, New Moon (out Nov. 20). “She’s a unique girl,” he said. “You really don’t meet many people like Kristen.” Stewart says she is aware they can heat things up on screen as Bella and sexy vampire Edward. During their audition, “We had a very responsive, palpable thing,” she told the magazine. Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke also tells November’s Vanity Fair the two — who spent the night together at Hollywood’s famed Chateau Marmont on Oct. 29 — share a “nervous attraction” that makes the film work. “What Rob and Kristen had is a multitude of feelings for each other. Complex feelings for each other,” Hardwicke said. “It was what we needed. Complex, intense fascination.” So what’s with all the denial? Are these two really just trying to draw more attention to themselves? Because I gotta tell ya, I don’t think they need it. I think I’m slowly getting tired of the whole ‘are they, aren’t they?’ thing with Rob and Kristen. I think if I didn’t like them both so gosh-darn much, I never would’ve started to care in the first place. I’m laying this one to rest as yes, they are dating, and no, they don’t want us to know about it. So I guess we’ll have to settle for that right now.

Is Kate Really Accusing Jon of Yelling at Her?

HHeartbreaker — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:20:30 GMT

I have now reached the point where I no longer care what happens between Jon and Kate Gosselin. Let them sue each other, fight with each other, and accuse each other all they want. I am done caring and I think the world is starting to lean that way too. But every once in awhile, one of these two idiots says something so shocking to me that I can’t help but write about it. This time, Kate gets upset when she recalls a time that Jon told her to take a stick out of her butt. Apparently, this was completely uncalled for on the part of Jon and Kate is outraged. Seriously? Look back to just one episode of Jon & Kate: Plus Eight and you’ll undoubtedly see Kate yelling at Jon, calling him stupid, telling him that he’s a child, or demanding that he listen to her. I just watched the Fourth of July rerun the other day when they take all their spawns to the parade. In this particular episode, Kate wants the kids to bring coats and when Jon tells her that he’s already packed them into the van, she says, “Let me see them. I don’t trust your judgement.” For cryin out loud! They’re coats! And it’s July! Mind you it did still end up being very cold that day but the coats that Jon had for them ended up being just fine. Go figure. And now Kate is crying because Jon told her to take the stick out of her butt! Puh-leaze! From Gossip Center, “Monday night, Kate Gosselin recounted viewers’ favorite moments of TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8, and it wasn’t easy for the mom to look back onto the past. On one episode, Jon gets angry at Kate because she criticized him as they tried to dress the children for outdoor activities. “When are you going to pull the stick out?” he asked Kate. Looking back at that episode, Kate says it was wrong of him to use that phrase, but sighed, “Perhaps [that] was a sign of things to come.” While the show went on she also apologized for being mean to him as well. The show aired the couple’s biggest “blow up” moment, when Kate is screaming at Jon as they shopped for Christmas presents at Toys R Us. Looking back, “He just annoyed me. He was playing with toys,” she said. But she was sorry for yelling at him at such a loud tone, especially because it was caught on cameras. “Yeah, that was a wakeup call for me. Not so good to do that in public.” Not so good to do that in public?! Not so good to do that ever, I would say. Jon hasn’t said much since the separation that I agree with but I do agree that he acted like a child because Kate treated him like one. He was never her equal, and he was never an equal parent. He was the one that was supposed to listen to Kate, be her little bitch, and do what he was told. I kinda don’t blame him for getting out. Now, all the other BS that followed, that’s another story. Get over it Kate. You deserved it when Jon said it and I happen to agree. You should take the stick out.
