Sandra Bullock-Jesse James Divorce Countdown: Moving Van in the House!

April 3, 2010


As speculation continues to build about Sandra Bullock’s plans to leave Jesse James, a moving van was seen in front of James’ Seal Beach, Calif., home.

According to celebrity photo and gossip agency X17, movers loaded a couch, a love seat and numerous boxes onto the truck, while a man and a woman in a separate car also arrived around the same time to pick up additional items.

Bullock has been laying low in her Hollywood Hills home ever since the humiliating cheating scandal exploded surrounding her husband of nearly five years.

She has scarcely been seen in the past couple of weeks, with assistants coming and going from the house, which she owned prior to marrying James.

The Academy Award winner is said to have moved out of the Seal Beach house on March 15, after she learned of James’ tawdry affair with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.

A Bullock pal says that the actress “definitely” plans to file for divorce, and that “she is over him.” But she has yet to comment or take any public action to that effect.

James is seeking treatment at an undisclosed rehab facility following several allegations of his infidelity. His attorney, Joe Yanny, says he “is in love with Sandra” and that “he’s a broken man” amid the developments of the past few weeks.

A broken man of his own volition, but a broken man just the same.

What do you think Sandra Bullock should do?

If Alex Lambert Can Dream…


Ratings for American Idol have dropped this season and many viewers aren’t thrilled with the remaining contestants.

THG thinks we know why: the early elimination of Alex Lambert. Just as this adorable singer was feeling comfortable on stage, fans voted him off.

So, where can you catch the young crooner now? Online. Lambert has signed on for If I Can Dream, the Web reality series that follows six people – including Miley Cyrus’ ex, Justin Gaston – attempting to succeed in Hollywood.

The Other Lambert

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Alex discusses the show, his future and other topics. A few excerpts are below…

What is the show?: They’re going to follow me while I pursue my career. They’re going to hook me up with vocal coaches and co-writers to help me co-write my songs. They’re pretty much going to do everything they can to help me take my music to the next level. There’s five other people in the house, and it’s just showing us pursuing our dreams.

Why is he doing it? It’s like the perfect thing I could do right now. I went back home to Texas… I didn’t know what to do with like press, publicity, and all that stuff. So this is perfect. They’re hooking me up with the perfect people.

On his popularity: I think the reason that a lot of people like me is [that I'm] something unique that people haven’t really heard on Idol before. There’s never been someone who sounded like me on Idol ever. I guess everyone was like, ”This is cool.” I think I have a unique style, but people realize I’m a beginner.

Miley is Moving Out!


So much for the rumors that Liam Hemsworth has moved in with Miley Cyrus’ parents.

Turns out the actress herself won’t even be living with her folks for much longer.

“I’m actually buying a place. I haven’t moved in yet. I’m still reconstructing and stuff,” Miley told People magazine this week, adding that the home is “really, really close” to her family’s Toluca Lake residence.

Always Being Miley

Tish Cyrus is an interior decorater, and Miley says her and her mom agreed to make the place “really zen.”

“We did all these different things to make it a place that’s so chill. Like all my couches are on the floor and I have pillows on the floor. It’s just serene – like my own kind of therapy.”

That sounds nice… though Miley’s follow-up words sound simply nauseating:

“My religion is love, so my door is always open for anyone who wants to come in. It’s a just a loving place.”

Barf! We’ll refrain from further commenting on that lame line in order to post a few shots of Cyrus during an afternoon out a couple days ago…

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler: Just Friends … with Benefits?


Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler make a hot couple. But are they even a couple? Or just a rumored couple? Or just a couple of friends … who get horizontal!?

It’s obvious that their film, The Bounty Hunter, benefits greatly from speculation about the pair’s romantic involvement (and can use every bit of it, reviews say).

But is it all for show, or is there something there? Rumors flew once again after Butler was caught playing grab-ass with Jen while greeting fans in Paris, France.

In a Friday interview, Butler joked about his booty bust.

“I’m a bit of a bad boy,” the notorious playboy actor admitted, before demurring, “by the way, I’m still not sure my hand was really on her butt. I think that’s just the way the camera was angled … I actually haven’t seen [the photo].”

Friends with Benefits

FRIENDS AND (MAYBE) THEN SOME: Where’s the other hand, G?

“If I was going out with Jennifer, I’d be more than happy to say I’m going out with Jennifer, but it’s just not true,” he added after being pressed further on it.

Yet a Butler pal counters that the flirty costars have been “hooking up for a while,” even if they’re not an official couple. So it’s that sort of arrangement. HOT!

An Aniston pal confirms that they slept together in Mexico at her February birthday blowout: “She would like it to be more, [but] they’re friends with benefits.”

Damn, Jen. You can’t give away the cow when … forget it. A rep for Aniston, meanwhile, says the “friends with benefits” label is “both crude and incorrect.”

So basically … no one knows. Probably just how they like it.

Long live the Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler tease!

Erykah Badu Nude Stunt Recreates JFK Assassination


Singer Erykah Badu will be cited for disorderly conduct for getting naked in Dealey Plaza, the site of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, for her video for “Window Seat.”

Just when you thought you’d heard every nude scandal imaginable.

The Dallas Police Department announced Friday that “the statements from the witness would rise to the level of disorderly conduct,” Deputy Chief Mike Genovesi said.

According to reports, a woman filed an indecency complaint after she and her two young kids witnessed Erykah Badu nude, filming a climactic scene in her video.

But it got people talking about her when they otherwise might not be, right? Hmm. You know somewhere, Spencer Pratt is plotting a similar Heidi Montag nude stunt.

BADU NEWS: Interestingly, it wasn’t the nudity that got her in trouble.

“To shoot that, they would have had to get a special permit from the events office, and it would have had to specify what filming they were doing, what subjects they would use and any traffic control they would need,” Dallas Police officials said.

“They definitely did not get a permit.”

City authorities admit, however, that no one probably would have batted an eye about any of the violations (Class C misdemeanors) if Badu hadn’t gotten naked.

“None of this would have occurred had she stayed clothed,” Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway said. “But since she didn’t, it elevated the need for making sure that we have policies in place that will protect folks and the integrity of the city.”

Badu’s camp has not commented on the citation, but “Window Seat” directors Coodie and Chike said Badu was “ready to be arrested on the spot” last month.

That would have made an even greater scene, so not surprising. This officially tops the Mindy McCready sex tape for oddest nudity-related story of the week.

Crazy Stalker Threatens to Murder Erin Andrews


It’s not easy being a gorgeous ESPN sideline reporter.

You may get paired with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing with the Stars, but you’ll also get nakedly peeped at by a shady dude in the hotel room next door to you.

Now, news has broken of an even more dangerous situation involving Erin Andrews: multiple sources confirm that a man from Virginia has been sending threatening emails to her since September.

Andrews and her attorney, Marshall Grossman, only recently discovered the messages existed, as they were sent to The Dan Patrick Show (an ESPN program) and kept from Erin until this week.

The emails focus on the case of Michael David Barrett, who was sentenced last month to over two years in federal prison for secretly shooting nude videos of Andrews.

“He refers to Barrett in his e-mail in a way to make clear to us that situation had some influence,” Grossman said, adding that the FBI has been notified.

Erin and Maksim

Security on Dancing with the Stars will be increased for Andrews. Why? Just look at how scary and disgusting a few of the emails are:

  • “Dear Dan: I hope Erin Andrews gets murdered in L.A.” (3/29/10)
  • “I hope she gets shot in the face. I would love to see if she can dance away from a hail of gunfire. That would really make my day.” (3/26/10)
  • “I would love to get close enough to her to show her my suicide vest.” (3/14/10)

We’ll keep readers apprised of this revolting story as more revelations come to light.

THG Week in Review: March 27-April 2, 2010


Welcome to The Hollywood Gossip. Here we reflect on the past seven days in Hollywood gossip, celebrity news and rumors in our Week in Review.

Highlights from March 27-April 2 include …

  • Lindsay Lohan is going to die unless she gets help. That’s the opinion of friends, professionals and family members close to her. Unfortunately for her, Michael Lohan feels the best use of his time is to email THG about its coverage.
  • Quite a week for Jesse James: Checking into rehab for “personal issues,” posing for Nazi photos, cited for vandalism, claiming to be a “broken” man, and so on. No wonder Sandra Bullock is rumored to be divorcing him.
  • Amid reports his wife wants to bail on The Masters, Tiger Woods continues to be dogged and called out as a liar, cheapskate, etc., by his various mistresses … and even by his kindergarten teacher for good measure.
  • Dr. Conrad Murray needs to keep his medical license so that he can pay for his defense against charges he killed Michael Jackson. But he’s not sorry.

Caner

This girl needs a whole team of shrinks, ASAP.

  • Ricky Martin came out as a “fortunate” gay man Monday, while on Friday, Oscar-winning True Blood star Anna Paquin admitted she’s bisexual.
  • Angelina Jolie is being called a self-centered, manipulative, psycho control freak who laughs when children cry. But is that really true, people?
  • American Idol bid farewell to Didi Benami, while welcoming guest stars Usher and Justin Bieber. Speaking of Biebs, he’s takin’ over the world.
  • Dancing with the Stars bid farewell to Shannen Doherty, despite the fact that she outperformed Kate Gosselin, who sucks and is a big whiner.
  • The Hills is about to bid farewell to TV. Which is not the worst thing at this point, but you’ve gotta check out the ridiculous final season trailer.

Trailer Park BrideMindy McCready Sex Tape

Britney Spears was certainly dressed to impress Thursday … as was Mindy McCready on the cover of her hot new sex tape, hilariously called “Baseball Mistress.”

  • Fashion statements of the week: Jennifer Aniston, who continues to tease us with regard to Gerard Butler, and Britney Spears. See above. Enough said.
  • LOL release of the week: The Mindy McCready sex tape, which she claims she is outraged over, and is called Baseball Mistress for no apparent reason.
  • Kim Kardashian is just too mature for Reggie Bush. Even if he went on record on Twitter to deny that he ever cheated on the world’s greatest body.
  • Worst National Anthem performance: Keri Hilson.
  • No wonder Miley Cyrus is quitting music for good.

Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas PictureNick Jonas and Selena Gomez

One confirmed Jonas couple, one confirmed breakup this week.

  • Couple news: Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez are over; Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato went public; Taylor Swift and Cory Monteith might be dating; Ditto for Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy; Robsten eloped (on April Fools Day).
  • Wedding bells: Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy tied the knot.
  • Baby news: None from Beyonce and Jay-Z, thankyouverymuch.
  • Police blotter, etc.: Jason Wahler was charged with DUI again; Shaq is being sued for harassment by mistress Vanessa Lopez; Dwayne Wade’s wife says he gave her an STD; Dennis Hopper’s wife may be trying to kill him.

Adam Lambert is a Beautiful Person


Dubbing Adam Lambert as “the splashiest singer ever to lose on American Idol” isn’t exactly a bold statement.

But the latest issue of Paper Magazine did cause waves this week when it named Lambert one of The Most Beautiful People in the World.

Such a designation is typically reserved for Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt or Robert Pattinson. What attributes does Adam possess that caused him to be included in such company? The publication cites his knack for attention, costumes and controversy.

Paper Singer

But Lambert doesn’t think he’s actually that controversial.

“Most of what I do doesn’t feel controversial,” he says. “I’m just the same Adam I’ve always been, and in the circles I run in, it’s not all that shocking.”

But it is all that sexy, at least to millions of fans. Are you among them? Do you think Adam Lambert is one of The Most Beautiful People in the World?

Bikini Body Battle: Kim Kardashian vs. Serena Williams


On most Miami afternoons, Kim Kardashian would strut along Miami Beach, confident that she has the most slammin bikini body in town.

But another female stepped up this week, a woman known for her fiery, competitive side. If Kim thinks she can take Serena Williams lightly, the model will be in for a major shock.

The tennis star played in the water and made a literal splash with fans yesterday. Check out Serena below, challening Kardashian for Floridian supremacy. Then, vote in our poll…
