The Biggest Loser: What you didn’t see!

February 11, 2010

Stephanie Anderson started this season of The Biggest Loser with her mom, Patti, but the team was split up in week two when Patti was sent home. Now on her own, Stephanie will be giving InTouchWeekly.com readers the exclusive behind-the-scenes dish every week! This episode was the last one for two weeks, as the show makes way for coverage of the Winter Olympic games in Vancouver. Fittingly, the contestants headed to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs to get inspiration from the world-class athletes. “To be able to walk the halls where these amazing athletes go to train and visualize myself becoming an athlete and being more confident as a woman, it was just emotionally incredible and mentally stimulating,” Stephanie tells In Touch. “These athletes have done this day after day for years. Here it was week six, I’m missing home, and my body is changing so much, I was having these huge highs and lows emotionally and physically, so what an opportunity to pick their brains! It was by far the most defining moment for me to this point.” Read on to find out what you didn’t see this week.

Kardashians Prep for Fashion Week, Sample Breast Milk


With New York Fashion Week kicking off today, Kim Kardashian is about to make news for something other than her boyfriend winning the Super Bowl and her ex-boyfriend plowing her on video.

Indeed, the Kardashians will actually play a key role in the global event, as Kim struts down the runway tonight; and then hosts an entire show by herself on Tuesday, when her and her sisters’ Bebe-sponsored clothing line is featured.

Is Kim nervous leading up to this debut?

“I don’t really get too stressed under pressure, so I think this whole fashion stuff, being behind the scenes and being a part of it, really works for me,” she told E! News. “Khloé gets really stressed and frazzled… Kourtney is always really calm and almost like too nonchalant.”

As for working with her siblings on something other than contrived magazine covers and reality show scripts?

“It’s kind of a dream for me to be able to design with my sisters,” Kim said. “We each had such a significant role in designing [the line]… It came out like exactly the way we envisioned it!”

In bodily fluid news, meanwhile, Khloe, has something to share with you about Kourtney.

The youngest Kardashian sister felt the need to Tweet the following this morning:

Khloe Tweet

Ummmm, if you really consider that Too Much Information to share, Khloe, why did you then pass it along to your swarm of Twitter followers?

We’re guessing breast milk tastes pretty good to Kourtney right now anyway: it’s better than the taste of betrayal she’s supposedly feeling these days, as a result of Scott Disick’s wayward penis.

Lady Gaga’s mystery man revealed!

Lady Gaga likes to get wild on stage, but she showed a surprising softer side recently in LA with a new boyfriend, Matthew Williams, and a baby believed to be his son. “Matthew and Gaga have been dating for months,” an insider says of the secret romance. “They were together on and off for more than a year, but called it off when mixing work and love became too difficult.” Matthew, nicknamed “Dada” by the singer, then had a child with another woman, and Gaga began dating an entrepreneur named Speedy – but their feelings for each other never went away. “They spend all their time together, and travel everywhere, so it was bound to happen. Speedy dumped her, and Matthew left his girlfriend for Gaga,” the insider says. Now they look like one happy family! “Dada” Williams is one of the chief collaborators in the Haus of Gaga, the team that designs most of Gaga’s outrageous outfits.

Did Amanda get dumped?

It looks like Amanda Bynes may be spending Valentine’s Day alone this year. The 23-year-old took to Twitter to express her feelings about a certain mystery man in her life. “If something doesn’t work out with the guy I like, then I guess it just wasn’t meant to be! You can’t FORCE relationships/love. If it’s meant to be, it will be!” she tweeted. Luckily, Amanda has no regrets about keeping her love life private. “Oh well! It was fun while it lasted. I’m over it. It’s a good thing I never said his name so I can pretend like it never happened! I will just block him out of my memory!” she also wrote.

It’s a boy for Boris!

Tennis superstar Boris Becker is celebrating the arrival of the newest member of his family. His wife Sharlely ‘Lilly’ Kerssenberg gave birth to a baby boy in London on February 9. The couple, who were married in June, named their brand-new bundle of joy Amadeus Benedict Edley Luis Becker. “With this baby, my wife Sharlely, gave me the most wonderful gift. We are all overcome and rejoice in our life together,” says Boris. He also has two sons, Noah and Elias, with his ex-wife, Barbara Feltus, as well as a daughter Anna, from a previous relationship. Congratulations to the new parents!

30 Rock star Alec Baldwin was taken to the hospital early this morning. Paramedics rushed to his New York City home after a call was made to 911, reportedly by his 14-year-old daughter, Ireland, claiming that the actor was “unresponsive.” When medical assistance arrived, Alec permitted them to take him to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he was treated and released. No further details are available at this time. Alec is set to co-host the Academy Awards with Steve Martin on March 7.

Alexander McQueen: Dead of Apparent Suicide


Alexander McQueen, an internationally known and respected fashion designer, was found dead today in his London home.

Sources are reporting that McQueen committed suicide, as the UK media organization Sky News says he hanged himself in his apartment. No official cause of death has been released, however.

The 40-year-old British designer was often responsible for outfits worn by such stars as Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Prince Charles.

Said rep from McQueen’s office in a statement:

“At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with [McQueen's] family.”

A new line from the artist, McQ, was set to be debut this afternoon at New York Fashion Week. He was also scheduled to premiere his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.

Our thoughts go out to McQueen’s friends, family and loved ones.

Vienna Girardi: Leading a Double Life?


The Bachelor’s Vienna Girardi has become public enemy #1 for tabloids and fellow aspiring Mrs. Jake Pavelkas alike. Is she leading a secret double life?

That’s the allegation made by the new issue of Us Weekly, which claims Vienna had a secret celebrity fling, danced for tips and betrayed a best friend.

Actually, that’s pretty ho-hum compared to past accusations made against her, namely Vienna Girardi cheating on her Marine ex and stole his money.

Despite the smear campaign and Jake Pavelka meeting her weird family, the Floridian somehow made his final three heading into the season finale.

Will she receive the final rose?!

A Double Life

The haters are lining up to take shots at Vienna Girardi.

To be fair, the celebrity news magazine also revealed some scandalous gossip about the other girl Bachelor spoilers suggest is in the final two with Vienna.

According to her ex-husband’s mistress (now fiancee), Tenley Molzahn is a prude, manipulative b!tch who withheld sex and didn’t let him see his family.

Looks like a fight to the finish on The Bachelor this season!

Turning our attention back to Vienna, whatever double life she may be leading, these photos we unearthed of her past online make her seem pretty normal.

A lot cuter without the makeup, in fact. Click to enlarge:

Report: Evander Holyfield Beats Wife For Not “Putting God First”


Sometimes, Christianity is subject to interpretation. Some believe the death penalty is immoral, for example; others feel it is the only just solution at times.

Beating your wife because she isn’t “putting God first,” however? It’s hard to see a way in which Christ would justify that one. Sorry, Evander Holyfield.

The former world heavyweight champ always made it clear he had no plans to retire from fighting – we just didn’t know he was referring to the bedroom!

His current and third wife, Candi Holyfield, called the police after the couple got into a fight at their home last week. It all started because it was cold.

No, seriously. She claims the heat was off in their Georgia mansion and as she took their kids to the bathroom in the night, she complained to Evander.

“He told me I was only thinking about myself, and the children’s hearts beat faster,” she wrote in a court declaration seeking a restraining order against him.

The “deeply religious” boxer accused her of being disrespectful to God when pulled the covers over her head, and said she needed to “start putting God first.”

Maybe so, but come on, dude. You can afford to set the heat at 68.

Holyfield refused to let up, asking his wife if she’d been tithing. He asked for check stubs of her payments to their church and after she refused … look out.

Candi alleges Holyfield hit her in the face on the back of the head twice and on her back. She claims Holyfield hurt her before in the presence of their kids.

Understandably, now Candi wants out.

“She is fed-up with his womanizing and money troubles,” says a source. “She is working as a nurse and is now in the process of finding a new place to live.”

The boxer, who was once married to Paulette Brown and then Dr. Janice Itson, claims he’s not earning as much as he once did. Eleven kids will do that.

Three wives, 11 kids, multiple violent episodes. Talk about putting God first! Evander has not spoken with cops. He and Candi are due in court Feb. 18.

Kara DioGuardi in Maxim: Hot or Not?


There’s little question that Kara DioGuardi is annoying on American Idol.

She comes across as cocky and condescending, taking extreme offense any time Simon makes a dig in her direction and somehow managing to be neither reassuring to the contestants nor especially criticial. She doesn’t even have a Randy Jackson, dawg-like catchphrase.

But there is one debate regarding this singer/songwriter: Is she attractive?

We wondered about this issue when DioGuardi strutted her stuff in a bikini on last May’s Idol finale. We’re now forced to ponder the question again because Kara is featured on Maxim.com:

During an interview with the men’s magazine, DioGuardi touches on her fellow judges. A few excerpts:

On missing Paula Abdul: During the auditions, I missed her. She was so nurturing, and I try to have some of that in my critiques. I wouldn’t say I have the maternal instinct that she had, though. I’m a little bit more New York, a little more hard-edge.

On Simon leaving the show: All I can say is the guy can do things not many folks can get away with, and people like when someone is true to himself.

On the addition of Ellen DeGeneres: I was like, “Rock on!” Are you kidding? The thing with Ellen I don’t think everybody understands is that she’s a huge music lover. That’s what you need to be on Idol.

DioGuardi stood up for Ellen yesterday, following the latter’s first night as a judge. But we still come back to the pertinent topic at hand.
