He may have played her adored son in their Oscar-nominated film, but Quinton Aaron was “blindsided” by Sandra Bullock‘s recent family scandal. “I met her husband after the filming and he seemed like a great guy,” Quinton told In Touch about Sandra’s cheating hubby, Jesse James, at the Why Did I Get Married Too premiere in New York on March 22. Gushing about Sandra’s role as his tough-as-nails adopted mother, which won her a golden statuette for Best Actress at the Academy Awards earlier this month, Quinton said that the gorgeous star was “quirky, funny and really cool” on set. “I hope things work out for her!” he added. As In Touch exclusively revealed last week, Jesse James carried on a steamy affair with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee while Sandra filmed The Blind Side with Quinton in Atlanta last year.

Robsten: Missing Each Other, “Counting Down the Days” Until Breaking Dawn


Fans can see them together in the new Eclipse video, but separate work demands have Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson longing for one another in real life.

Rob is in Europe shooting Bel Ami, while Kristen remains in L.A., ironing out details for her upcoming film, K-11. The long distance relationship is hard on them.

“They’re counting the days till they start Breaking Dawn,” a source reports.

That would be the fourth film in the Twilight saga, scheduled to begin production in the fall. For now, the days of possible neck nuzzling are few and far between.

ROBSTEN REUNION: Both hotties reportedly yearn for one. Hard.

Thus, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart work hard to keep romance alive: “They’ll have to make do with calls, texts and romantic e-mails,” the source adds.

Kristen attended Rob’s Remember Me premiere in NYC, but he was too busy filming Bel Ami overseas to return the favor at Kristen’s The Runaways premiere.

Just the same, Robsten is not about to give up their love that easily. The couple is said to be “counting down the days” until Breaking Dawn begins filming.

They’re not the only ones.

Kara DioGuardi: Bikini Stunt Saved My Job


A year after strutting around in a black two-piece on stage on the American Idol finale, Kara DioGuardi tells Women’s Health that the move “probably saved my job.”

“I kept saying no,” the songwriter said, recalling the plan to face off against Katrina Darrell, a.k.a. Bikini Girl. “I mean, what crazy nut is gonna go out there in a bikini at almost 40 years of age against a girl who’s 20 and likely cosmetically enhanced?”

Still, she calls it “a defining moment” that helped cement her place on the American Idol panel along with judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul.

“Like, ‘She’s serious and industry, but also as kooky as everyone else on this panel,’” DioGuardi says. “I looked a little pasty. But hey, at least I didn’t wet myself!”

Small victories, right.

Kara would hold her own against any so-called bikini girl.

As for how she maintains her body, the American Idol staple says she hits the gym four times a week. There, she runs two miles or does 25 minutes of cardio.

“Boxing, treadmill, step-ups, lunges, sprints, I mix it up … Weight training is important as you get older. You build muscle, which burns fat when you rest.”

And in addition to drinking at least “two huge bottles” of water a day, she eats plenty of veggie stir-fry: “The more roughage you eat, the more it fills you up.”

And if she ever loses motivation to maintain her fitness, she counts on her loved ones. No we don’t mean Simon Cowell, although we can see him saying this:

“Someone [close to me] said, ‘You may want to work on your arms – they’re a little jiggly,’” she says. “The people in my life have no qualms about telling me!”

Miley yes, Conan no on Idol

MileyCyrus0323.jpg

American Idol fans will get a look at teen idol Miley Cyrus, but forget about seeing late-night victim Conan O’Brien on the hit show. Miley will be the special guest on Tuesday’s Idol, mentoring the remaining 11 contestants — even though most are older than the 17-year-old star! Miley, whose movie The Last Song opens on March 31, is also set to sing her new single, “When I Look at You.” On the elimination show the next night, Miley’s best friend, Demi Lovato, will perform with her boyfriend, Joe Jonas, but deposed Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien won’t appear on the show anytime soon. Conan was invited by producers to be on the “Idol Gives Back” episode scheduled for April 21, which this year will benefit the United Nations’ Foundation Fund for Haiti, the Children’s Health Fund and other charitable groups. But NBC is saying no to the charity appearance because Conan cannot appear on TV until May, according to the agreement he reached with the network when he was fired from Tonight.

Michelle McGee: The Stripper Video


Why was Jesse James cheating on Sandra Bullock?

Millions of fans of the Oscar winner are wondering just that, and this video of Michelle McGee, the alleged other woman, shot at Pure Platinum, Calif., in San Diego about a week ago, is just going to make you wonder even more.

Unless you’re into nasty strippers, which Jesse James apparently is.

Footage of a topless Michelle McGee grinding up in the club has been leaked online, and we have to tell you, it’s every bit as gross as you think it is.

A Michelle McGee Photo

Alleged tattoo model, porn star and Jesse James mistress Michelle McGee moonlights as a stripper. Or maybe she moonlights as those other things and just strips full-time.

You can’t see any of her supposed white power tats like you can in that Nazi photo shoot, but that’s probably because much of her body has to be blurred out.

Watching the NSFW video, we had a few thoughts:

  1. The Marilyn Manson soundtrack really is ideal for her
  2. We didn’t know you could shoot video in a strip club

If you’re into this sort of thing, follow the jump …

Jennifer Love Hewitt Ditches Man, Hair Extensions


Jennifer Love Hewitt won rave reviews for ditching Jamie Kennedy. Will fans feel the same way about the actress’ decision to part with her hair extensions?

The Ghost Whisperer star recently parted ways with more than just her boyfriend, as you can see in the pair of pictures below. But is it a positive change?

We can go either way on it. We loved her longer hair, but it’s not like she looks terrible here. To be honest, we’re more upset by the lack of revealing attire.

How do you feel about Jennifer’s new hair? Vote below!

Alberto Alvarez: Dr. Conrad Murray Stopped CPR on Michael Jackson to Hide Propofol


Bodyguard Alberto Alvarez is making a shocking accusation against Dr. Conrad Murray, saying the doc halted CPR on Michael Jackson to hide vials of Propofol.

Alvarez, who called 911, told cops months after Jackson’s death that Dr. Murray hid bottles of Propofol in a closet so that family and police wouldn’t find them.

He told police he saw Dr. Murray running around the room hiding Propofol bottles in a closet near the room where the doctor administered the drug to Jackson.

This adds fuel to a prosecution theory that he covered up evidence.

According to Alvarez, Dr. Murray stopped doing CPR and handed Alvarez drug vials, instructing him to put them in a bag. Alvarez says he saw an IV in Jackson’s leg.

He notes that Dr. Conrad Murray took Propofol vials and told Alvarez to put them in a plastic bag, then told Alvarez to put the plastic bag inside a canvas bag.

Alvarez also says Murray told him to remove the IV that contained a white milky substance (Propofol) in another canvas bag. Where the bags went is unclear.

Bad Doc

Jackson’s mouth and eyes were wide open but there was no sign of life. He was taken to the UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead on June 25.

Alvarez also says that MJ’s kids, Prince Michael and Paris, entered the room and cried as they watched Murray administer mouth-to-mouth on the lifeless star.

And there’s this: After Jackson died, Murray said he needed to go back to the mansion to get cream Jackson had “so the world wouldn’t find out about it.”

Sources connected with Murray’s defense say he hid nothing. Authorities found bottles of the anesthetic in what looks like a secret compartment of the closet.

Those sources say Alvarez’s statement came two months after Jackson died and directly contradicts what the bodyguard told the police the day of MJ’s death.

Murray sources say Alvarez never said anything about hiding Propofol at the scene. Dr. Murray told cops two days later where Propofol bottles could be found.

Law enforcement sources believe Murray connected a large bottle directly into the IV and a massive amount, which entered Jackson’s system and killed him.

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Nicole Scherzinger and Erin Andrews Shine, Kate Gosselin Bombs


Dancing with the Stars kicked off its 10th iteration last night with its best cast in several seasons. The season premiere offered some standouts and some bombs.

Eliminations aren’t until next week, which is fortunate for Aiden Turner, who would likely be sent home as Kate Gosselin and Buzz Aldrin will get sympathy votes.

As expected (by THG, anyway), Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough led the pack. She’s kind of a dancer for a living, so this was not exactly a stunner.

Same goes for Evan Lysacek, who may not be a dancer, but makes a career out of being agile. Erin Andrews and Pam Anderson? Pleasant surprises!

Here’s a tiered breakdown of last night’s Dancing with the Stars scores …

Amy Winehouse Rehab Bound Again


Full disclosure, this story comes from the News of the World (UK), so we can’t really vouch for its accuracy. But it’s probably true, and even if it’s not, it should be!

They tried to make her go to rehab, and she said “No, no, no” etc., etc., but despite song lyrics to the contrary, it looks like Amy Winehouse is headed there now.

Wino, who at one point was a successful musician, had been checking in every now and then as an outpatient to try and battle her booze demons. Yeah, right.

But the Back to Black singer has “had a bit of a wobble” and wants to get back on track. THG NOTE: That wobble often goes by the name of Blake Fielder-Civil.

Wino Rolls

Is Wino getting help? Will it take? [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

A source said of the troubled songbird: “Things have just gotten to be too much for her recently and it’s important she gets some help to control her drinking.”

This is what happens when you swap out hard drugs for alcohol and call that “rehab,” which basically she did during last year’s three-month St. Lucia bender.

“She has come a long way from a couple of years ago but there’s still a long way to go,” he or she added. “Right now life in London is getting on top of her.”

Gotta give it up to the possibly bisexual singer if the rehab reports are true, but you gotta wonder if certain influences in her life are making it a lost cause.
