Lady GaGa is known for her bizarre style, but apparently, they’re dangerous, too. She boarded a flight from London back here to the states in black and yellow tape, clomping around in huge blue shoes that were meant to be a tribute to her friend, late designer Alexander McQueen. However, when her legs started to swell, she quickly discovered that she was succumbing to deep vein thrombosis, which is a potentially fatal problem. DVT is considered a medical emergency. A source from the airline said that GaGa “was a high-risk DVT case so she was advised to change out of her clothes. She was particularly miffed about ditching her heels. She was wearing them in memory of her friend Alexander.”

Jenni “JWoww” Farley from “Jersey Shore” did a personal appearance in Boston over the weekend. Everyone figured she’d head straight for the bar and start tossing the drinks back, but instead, she avoided the alcohol altogether. When someone inquired as to why she wasn’t indulging in beverages of the adult variety, JWoww replied, “MTV doesn’t want the cast to drink.”
It seems that the network wants to harness the power of the liquor and wait until they reunite the cast to let them tie a good one on. And, according to JWoww, they’re trying to limit their appearances to one a week, as well. Not that that’s stopping her. She let it slip at the event that she’s booking several a week under the table. The “Jersey Shore” cast reportedly gets anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 to show up at an event.

Katherine Heigl was due back on the set of “Grey’s Anatomy” on March 1st from the maternity leave she took to settle into life as a mother with hubby Josh Kelley and their new adopted daughter. Dr. Izzie Stevens, however, was as absent as her character has been for most of the season so far. A source on set has confirmed to “People” magazine that the actress was MIA for that day of shooting, and hasn’t been seen. This is only adding fuel to the talk that perhaps Heigl is finally abandoning the show that helped to make her a star. “Entertainment Weekly” has already reported that the show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes, agreed to release her from her contract. If that’s true, all that’s left for Heigl to do is work out the specifics with the network.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have parted ways in the Big Fat Rumor of the Day! On  a professional level, that is. Spencer has been managing his wife and “Hills” co-star since they met five years ago, but Heidi has cut the cord, let him go, and hired psychic Aiden Chase in his place. According to Heidi, “After the incredible experiences I have had healing my life and truly connecting to my dreams with healer intuitive Aiden Chase, I have officially asked him to become my manager. Having an intuitive psychic leading my team gives me an edge no one else has.” She says that she’s signed onto a Ron Howard project that she will speak about on “The Tonight Show” next week. Spencer, meanwhile, has yet to make a public statement. Someone might want to check his pulse.

All day yesterday, we heard bit and pieces of the story behind Corey Haim’s death. Here is the latest. Corey fell ill at his mother’s apartment in the San Fernando Valley.  He was rushed to a hospital in nearby Burbank, and pronounced dead at about 2:15 A.M. Authorities believe it was an accidental drug overdose. We appear to be talking about prescriptions drugs, though. Ed Winter the L.A. Coroner Assistant Chief says that four prescription bottles were found in Corey’s apartment, but they were all, “just normal prescriptions.” He added that no illicit drugs were found. Winter said that Corey, who was staying with his mother to help her battle breast cancer, awoke sometime after midnight feeling dizzy and unsteady on his feet. He tried to stand up, but fell to his knees. His mother helped him back into bed, where he became unresponsive. That’s when she called 911. Winter says that Haim’s body was, “not in bad shape” and that he’d been battling flu-like symptoms for several days. Corey’s mom, Judy, said, “He was a good boy. I’m devastated by his death.” Ironically, sources with the show “Celebrity Rehab” say they approached Corey sometime in the last 10 days of his life, but he turned them down. One staffer says, “He was extremely defensive and insulted, saying, ‘It’s the last show I’d ever do, I do not need help.’” Corey Feldman went on “Larry King Live” last night saying, “I’m very troubled today. I’m angry, I’m hurt and I’m sad. I appreciate the fact that everybody really cares and is trying to show their expression of sorry right now. But where were all these people the last 10 years, the last 15 years of his life? He was very broke, very destitute, he didn’t even have a car. Feldman also said he wants people to stop jumping the gun and trying to figure out how Haim died. He said, “At the end of the day, until the coroner’s report comes out, until we have specific evidence, until we know exactly what the toxicology reports say, nobody knows and nobody’s going to know.” Feldman said that lately, Corey Haim had been in, “the best frame of mind that he’s ever been in.”

20 years ago, Julianna Margulies was a struggling actress, waiting tables and waiting for her big break. And one night, a very famous Julia Roberts walked into her restaurant  and acted like a complete wench! Julianna says, “She is lovely, when you’re not waiting on her. She and I have talked about it. I said, ‘You know, I waited on you once.’ And she said, ‘Oh God, was I horrible?’ I said, ‘Yeah, kind of.’ She said, ‘I was young.’  We were both 23, but she was a huge star at the time and there were 20 people around her. She admitted it, she was like, ‘I’m so sorry.’ Then she bought me dinner, and I adore her.”

Chris Brown is asking fans to help “bring him back” as he posted a message on saynow.com saying “a lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records.” He added, “they are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to.” You can hear the whole message HERE.

I won’t believe this until I see concrete, photographic or videotaped evidence, but the Big Fat Rumor of the Day claims that Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren were seen kissing! A neighborhood witness says, “They were hugging and they were kissing right out in the open. Elin is certainly a lot more relaxed these days and so is he. People in the neighborhood are getting used to seeing them together again.” Another source adds, “There’s no question the divorce has been called off now. He’s winning her back. She still is in love with him, after everything he’s done.”

Lindsay Lohan is suing E-Trade over one of its “talking baby” commercials because she thinks it’s making fun of her. Remember the E-Trade ad that debuted during the Super Bowl? It featured a brief appearance by a boyfriend-stealing, milkaholic baby girl named Lindsay. Well, Lindsay Lohan thinks that was meant to be her. And she wants $100 million for the pain and suffering it has caused her. She also wants the ad taken off the air, and she wants every copy of it presumably so she can destroy them all. Lindsay’s attorney says, “Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. They used the name Lindsay.  They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan. She’s very upset about it. They did not have permission nor her consent. It’s not something that she would have agreed to.” A spokesman for the company that made the add says, “We just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team.”

Gerard Butler attended Madonna’s Oscar night party on Sunday and he apparently almost got himself a piece of his hostess. A witness says, “She was putting on the full-court press, totally charming him and even challenged him to a dance-off!  They were grinding in the middle of the room real close and then Demi Moore joined in. It was hot! Gerard was loving the attention.” After the dance, Gerard and Madonna, “huddled in a corner” for a while. But when Madonna eventually left the party, she left alone.

Yesterday morning DMX was arrested in Arizona, after he allegedly told his probation officer that he’s been using cocaine, which of course violates the terms of his probation. But that wasn’t all DMX told his probation officer. He also copped to a bunch of other things that generally don’t comply with the court-ordered rules he has to stick to. Sadly, no specifics there. All in all, X was booked on five counts of probation violation, and is being held without bond. Also, there’s even more good news for fans of DMX’s sensational legal troubles. His wife, Tashera Simmons, has decided to write a “tell-all” book about her life with DMX. It’ll be called “Strength of a Woman”. There’s no release date yet.

The Rozlyn Papa sex tape that we mentioned in the Big Fat Rumor of the Day is much more real now!! She was the chick who was kicked off “The Bachelor” for allegedly having an affair with one of the producers. Well now there is a “confirmation” online. Supposedly there is a short clip that Nick checked out for ya – ha ha – but while it does show a hot blonde “performing” he says it’s possible that it isn’t really her.

“Will and Grace” actor Sean Hayes is, after years of speculation and rumors, discussing his personal sexuality in the most recent issue of “The Advocate.” And while he doesn’t exactly say that he’s gay, he certainly doesn’t say that he’s not. “I am who I am. I was never in, as they say. Never.” Throughout the interview, Sean dropped several jokes referencing homosexuality in general, all not-so-subtle hints as to his sexual preference outside of his most well-known character. Sean also targeted the media for being critical of actors and actresses who aren’t forthcoming with their sexual preferences. Hayes told “The Advocate,” “I believe that nobody owes anything to anybody. You are your authentic self to whom and when you choose to be, and if you don’t know somebody, then why would you explain to them how you life your life?” In recent years, actors like “Grey’s Anatomy’s” T.R. Knight and “How I Met Your Mother’s” Neil Patrick Harris were forced out of the closet after being outed in tabloids. Afterwards came the inevitable barrage of articles finding fault with them for “hiding who they were.”

Hot Couple Alert?? Jake Gyllenhaal was chatting for quite some time in the Kodak Theatre lobby with actress Rachel McAdams before the Academy Awards Sunday night. They were presenters together, but it must have been a pretty stimulating conversation since he introduced her to a friend saying, “This is Rachel McAdams, she’s the mother of my child!”

There is some real love on the set of “Glee.” It seems co-stars Mark Salling and newcomer Naya Rivera are a real-life couple!  Salling plays Puck and Naya is about to get a lot more screen time during the upcoming episode where her character Santana is rumored to take the virginity of one of the male characters.

Jamie Foxx spent the better part of Oscar evening night with a very sweet piece of arm candy – Stacey Dash! They first enjoyed the Oscar ceremonies from inside the Kodak theatre and after the awards, they stopped by Elton John’s Oscar viewing party in Beverly Hills and then The Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood!


 

 

Lil Wayne finally made it to the big house. He was sentenced to criminal court for a year yesterday after being caught with a loaded gun on his tour bus back in 2007. His time will be reduced to eight months, pending good behavior. His lawyer says that he’ll continue to make music while behind bars.

In the Big Fat Rumor of the Day, not one, but two Z104 artists could be pregnant. A source says Fergie is expecting. “She’s definitely got more tummy lately, and she’s certainly acting pregnant. She suddenly cut out alcohol and is taking way better care of herself.” Supposedly, Fergie and Josh Duhamel have, “rededicated themselves to their marriage”, after those allegations that Josh was nailing an Atlanta stripper last year.  Mariah Carey is also rumored to be expecting a baby with Nick Cannon. These rumors were reignited by her appearance at the Film Independent Spirit Awards. Mariah was a little curvier than usual, and even told Page Six reporters that “something special” was on the way, leading those sources to announce she’s expecting. For both of those girls, who have been the center of pregnancy rumors more than once, it’s got to get old being told you look “curvier” or that you have “much more of a tummy” than you did last time you were in public.

“Dancing with the Stars” has tapped Brooke Burke to be the new co-host alongside Tom Bergeron. Back in January, Samantha Harris announced that she would not be returning. Brooke and partner Derek Hough won the mirror ball trophy in Season 7.  Brooke has previously co-hosted CBS’ “Rock Star” and the E! travel show “Wild On!”. Season 10 premieres on Monday, March 22nd on ABC.

At one point, he was on top of the world. This weekend was not the case for former R&B star D’Angelo.  He was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly offering a woman $40 for some oral relations.  What he didn’t know at the time was that the woman was an undercover cop. It’s unclear if the officer was posing as a prostitute, or if D’Angelo just mistook her for one. According to the “New York Post”, D’Angelo made the offer while “cruising alone” through New York City in an SUV at 2:30am.  He was charged with solicitation. There’s been no comment from D’Angelo or his people. That is, if he even has “people” anymore. His last album came out 10 years ago. For what it’s worth, a search of D’Angelo’s SUV reportedly turned up $12,000. 

Jay-Z and Beyonce finally visited the White House last week and they took the opportunity to pose for a few pictures, including one with Jay-Z sitting underneath the presidential seal at some big table. Trey Songz and Beyoncé’s mom, Tina, were also there along with various other members of their entourage.

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are longtime lovers with children, and one would think that such a strong relationship of twelve years would carry a certain amount of security. Apparently not when it comes to Angelina Jolie. Remember how Angelina notoriously stole Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston when they filmed “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” and stole Billy Bob Thornton out from under Laura Dern. Well now she has signed on to “The Tourist” with leading man, Johnny Depp. The script, however, reportedly calls for a steamy romantic scene between Jolie and Depp that he wasn’t aware of prior to entering into a contract to film it. The second Vanessa found out about this scene, she didn’t beat around the bush. She told her man to quit the movie. Surprisingly, Johnny agreed and has been doing what he can to wriggle out of the film. He hasn’t been all that successful yet, and is still on board, but there is some speculation that replacements are at least being discussed. Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are among the names in the hat.

When Jake Pavelka proposed to Vienna Girardi on “The Bachelor” earlier this week, he forgot to tell her an important fact about himself:  He already had a girlfriend. At least that’s what the alleged girlfriend claims. Her name is Tanya Douglas and she says that when Jake went off to film “The Bachelor”, they left their relationship, “on hold.” And after the show finished taping in November, he started calling her and telling her how much he loved her. He also said the producers forced him to propose to Vienna. Tanya came forward yesterday in an interview. The reason she’s coming forward is because she’s disappointed that Jake proposed to Vienna especially if he didn’t mean it. She claims she and Jake had plans for the future which may have included marriage. Jake is denying her claims, of course. He says, “The relationship with Tanya was prior to ‘The Bachelor’. It simply did not work out. There was no overlap with that or any other relationship during the show. I only wish everyone could be as happy for us as we are happy together.”

Elin Nordegren and the kids have moved back in with Tiger Woods to help him get his life and career back on track. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to be a happy family again. One source says, “Elin knows Tiger has issues and is afraid to go near him romantically. Because of the children and his need to return to golf, she will try to live in the house with a wall between them. She is doing this more for the kids and holding the family together then anything else.” Wednesday was the first night Tiger and Elin spent in the same house since November.

“Playgirl” must be hard-up for men to photograph these days. A rep for the magazine says that they’ve actually discussed asking Jon Gosselin to pose. Unfortunately, the offer is about as impressive as his private gentleman is reported to be. They would only offer him $20,000. Then, to add insult to injury, says, “Honestly, it’d be more of a novelty than an actual sexy shoot.”
Remember earlier this week we told you his ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman posted a picture on Twitter and a while back she said that Jon is “hung like a nine-year-old boy.” His ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, is said to have teased him about his size throughout their marriage, referring to him as “stubby.”

Jay-Z fan got thrown off the stage by his bodyguard at a concert at the Verizon Center – but Jigga had no idea! Watch the kid in the white tee on the right side of the stage while Jay takes the left side of the screen.

On the Barbara Walters Oscar Special which airs Sunday night, Mo’Nique explains that her marriage to actor Sidney Hicks is open! Although she’s never taken advantage of that personally. But she says, “Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That’s not a deal-breaker. That’s not something that would make us say, ‘Pack your things and let’s end the marriage.’ What if it’s 20 times? So what? We’ve been best friends for over 25 years, and we truly know who we are. Oftentimes, people get into marriages and they don’t know who they’re laying next to. I’m very comfortable and secure with my husband.” Oh, and remember Mo’Nique’s hairy legs at the Golden Globes? That wasn’t just a one-time oversight. That’s how Mo’Nique rolls all the time. “He loves the hairy legs and if Sid likes the hairy legs, there you go.  I tried shaving one time, and it was so uncomfortable and painful. I said never again would I do that to myself. I’m 42 and I’m very hairy.”

After she broke up with country singer Chuck Wicks, Julianne Hough was briefly linked to Jared Followill from Kings of Leon, but now she’s dating Dane Cook. On Saturday night, Julianne attended one of his comedy shows in Hollywood. After the show, he reportedly hopped off the stage and kissed her and they left together. Later that night they went out for dinner. A witness says, “They looked very happy together, and very affectionate.”

Dane, who plays Dr. Mark “McSteamy:” Sloan in “Grey’s Anatomy” was dressed in scrubs by her side. They married in October 2004.

According to label reps for J-Kwon, the 24-year-old rapper has been missing for a month and they are asking fans to help locate him. According to Gracie Productions, J-Kwon was gearing up to release a new self-titled album this month, but he has not been heard from in over 30 days. CEO/President Tony Bucher said, “We’ve already received thousands of emails from fans and supporters who are worried about J-Kwon, and we want everyone to know how much we appreciate the love and support. If anyone has seen J-Kwon or has access to him, please let him know we are worried about him, and to please let us know everything is ok.”

Three weeks ago, a New York City court allowed Lil Wayne’s sentencing to be postponed so that he could have emergency dental surgery, you know the eight root canals. But the judge warned him that it would not get delayed again. Well, it was. And this time, it wasn’t Wayne’s fault. Yesterday a small fire broke out in the basement of the courthouse. It took a little over an hour to be contained, and because of all the smoke, everything was shut down for the day. Wayne’s hearing has been rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon. The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined, but there are reports that it could’ve had something to do with either a boiler, or some construction that was taking place. Either way, Wayne had nothing to do with the fire as far as we know. In fact, his lawyer, Stacy Richman, says Wayne was disappointed to hear about the postponement. He was on a plane to New York when the fire broke out. She said, “Once you make up your mind to do something, you want to do it.” Lil Wayne is expecting to be sentenced to one year in the clink, which he’ll begin serving immediately. On Monday, Wayne posted this message on Twitter, “Yesterday I smiled, today I smirked, tomorrow I stop. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, they’re needed. They kant lok up my heart bekuz y’all already have it on lok. thank u.” Wow. That was moving.

Justin Timberlake is doing a movie with his ex-girlfriend, Cameron Diaz. The movie is called “Bad Teacher”. Cameron stars in it as a junior high teacher who has just been dumped by a man she had come to depend on financially. She ends up in a love triangle with two other teachers, played by “How I Met Your Mother’s” Jason Segel and a British actress named Lucy Punch. There’s no word what Justin’s role will be. Molly Shannon also stars along with Eric Stonestreet from “Modern Family”.

Not long ago, Hailey Glassman revealed that her ex-boyfriend, Jon Gosselin, was packing three whopping inches below the belt. Yesterday, she posted a picture of his privates on Twitter. And if it really is Jon, then she wasn’t kidding. Aong with the picture, Hailey also dropped some angry Tweets. “Yes, you know who this nasty p***s belongs to! I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit. Look-This man has hurt, cheated, lied and stole from everyone including his own family! He’s single-handedly ruined and hurt so many women/lives.”

Nude pictures Trina hit the web yesterday. The pics came from Trina’s own phone, which she claims was stolen at the “BET Hip-Hop Awards” back in October. The thief took the nude pics, added in other personal photos from the phone, and made a video slideshow out of them. The explicit pics include a shot of Trina topless and a closeup of her precious lady. There are also several pictures of Trina with a gnarly rash on her arms and legs. The images are accompanied by audio of someone with a disguised voice making various comments including a threat to release more pictures unless Trina coughs up $100,000. Trina obviously isn’t planning on paying up. In fact, she says she’s got the FBI on the case. As for that crazy rash, she says a doctor told her it was an allergic reaction to, “shellfish or makeup bronzer.”

John Mayer has been flirting with Ke$ha over Twitter. Over the weekend, he asked his fans to stop denying their own love for her and own up to the fact that they like her music. He then sent out a personal message to Ke$ha with some lackluster humor attached. He wrote: “Dear Ke$ha, you have won me over with your tricks and charms and I must tell you I really like your song. Though I must add I tried brushing with a bottle of Jack and I chipped a tooth on the glass. Where might I remit an invoice?” Ke$ha responded with lyrics from her latest song, “Dear John Mayer. Don’t be a little bitch wit ur chit chat. Jus $how me where ur d**k’s at.  x”

Simon Cowell got engaged, for real this time, to Mezhgan Hussainy. She is the head makeup artist on “American Idol”. They have been dating for about a year. She’s 36, Simon is 50. That makes Nick Taylor hopeful. There’s no word on a wedding date, but so-called “sources” say it could happen soon. Simon’s rep says, “They are very suited for each other. She is someone who is independent and says what she thinks and feels, and he likes that. “He’s probably the happiest I have ever known him in the nine years I’ve been working with him.”

“Bachelor” jerk Jason Mesnick, the dude who proposed to Melissa Rycroft, only to later dump her for runner-up Molly Malaney, got married on Saturday. The ceremony was filmed for an upcoming ABC special called “The Bachelor:  Jason and Molly’s Wedding” which will air next Monday night. By the way, Melissa married a guy named Tye Strickland in December. Of course, they were at Jason’s wedding.

Former “American Idol” finalist Elliott Yamin has been in Chile for an “international song festival” and he wasn’t having a great time. On Twitter, he said, “Thanks 4 nothing Chile!  What an awful experience!” Then, just an hour later, Friday’s enormous 8.8 earthquake hit the region and Elliott, understandably, freaked out. And he Twittered about it. He said, “Huge earthquake just now in Chile!! I swear I thought this was the end of my life!!!! I take it all back everybody!! I just escaped with my life, from an 8.3 earthquake!!! Is everybody ok? Where was the epicenter?” He added, “Complete and utter chaos on the streets no power my heart is beatin outta my chest! Tsunami warning and I am only a mile inland!” He continued to post updates, and some news outlets, like CNN, were picking them up to use in their coverage.

You may not recognize the name Michael Blosil, but he is the 18-year-old son of Marie Osmond. He committed suicide Friday night by jumping to his death from his 8th-floor apartment in Los Angeles. Blosil, who had been suffering from severe depression in recent years, left a note in which he claimed that he was lonely, had no friends and didn’t fit in. Before killing himself, he texted a female friend who lived in the building, telling her there was a note for her in his apartment. Law enforcement sources say Michael was supposed to hang out with the woman that night. When she received his text, she went to his apartment, where his roommates let her in. Moments after the woman entered the apartment and read the note, she and Michael’s roommates heard sirens on the street below. They looked out the window, and that’s when they realized what had happened. Marie issued the following statement on Saturday, “My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time.” Marie’s brother Donny said, “Please pray for my sister and her family.” Marie and her ex-husband Brian Blosil have seven children. Five of them, including Michael, are adopted. Brian was Marie’s second husband. She also has a biological child from her first marriage. Friends have told police that while Michael struggled with depression and had tried to take his own life once before, he was clean and sober at the time of his death.
