As Gloria on ABC’s hit comedy Modern Family, Sofía Vergara is a sexy mom who has found the man of her dreams – and now it seems life is imitating art! According to a friend, Sofía, the 37-year-old mother of a teenager, is head-over-heels for handsome one-time film producer Nick Loeb, 34, whom she met at a Golden Globe party in LA in January. “They are so happy and in love,” the friend says of the actress and her new businessman beau. The couple looked cozy while dining with his family and friends in New York on May 19.

Michael Douglas: “Trying to be there” for his kids

In light of his son Cameron’s recent transfer to a minimum-security prison, Michael Douglas says his famous clan is doing well. “The family is great. I’m trying to be there for the kids. The kids are great,” the actor told In Touch as he was honored at The Film Society of Lincoln Center’s 2010 Chaplin Award Tribute in New York on May 24. In addition to wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and longtime friend Danny DeVito, Michael’s 93-year-old fellow thespian father, Kirk Douglas, was also at the swanky soiree. “I’m happy my dad is here, too,” the Solitary Man star added. The proud pop of Dylan, 9, and Carys, 7, with Catherine, Michael has also supported his 31-year-old troubled actor son, who was sentenced to five years in prison this spring for dealing methamphetamine and cocaine, and for heroin possession. “The best part of it is, he will be able to start his life afresh,” Michael recently said.

Bristol Palin in Harper’s Bazaar: I’m a Hard Worker!


There is nothing really controversial about Harper’s Bazaar’s new feature on Bristol Palin, but she does address sensitive, obvious issues such as teen pregnancy.

She admits “it was kind of humiliating” to get pregnant as a teen. “[I was thinking], ‘Great, I’m 17 years old, I’m 40 pounds overweight with a big belly on me.’”

“All my friends are at school watching on the news. This kind of sucks. I thought I would be somewhere warm at college with my friends,” the 19-year-old adds.

“But that was definitely not possible with having Tripp”

Bristol Palin, who is raising now 17-month-old Tripp as a single mom after ending her fake engagement from Levi Johnston, says life is not what she envisioned.

But that’s also okay. Look what she got in return …

“I love my baby more than anything. He’s like a Gerber baby. He’s the cutest baby in the whole world,” she says. “I just want Tripp to be happy and healthy.”

Bristol works as a medical assistant and serves as an ambassador to the Candie’s Foundation – as an abstinence advocate, no less – to support her little son:

“I’m on my own. I’m really proud of it. I’m a hard worker. I don’t have time for friends or anything. It’s just like, crap, there is a hockey game tonight that I want to go to but I can’t. Or, I do have to go to work today, because I’ve got bills to pay.”

Sarah Palin says she’s “very proud of her [daughter] for taking responsibility. It’s not an easy road, but it’s the right road. Decisions were made, and we can’t unwind those decisions. Consequences are being dealt with. I’m sincerely proud of her.”

Bristol says her parents had no idea she was sexually active with Levi Johnston, who says Sarah let them share a bedroom when he lived with the family.

“It’s not like we sat down and were like, ‘Alright, here’s the birds and the bees,’” Bristol says. “Truly, my parents just assumed that I wasn’t doing anything.”

Kendra Wilkinson Feigns Sex Tape Heartbreak


How bothered is Kendra Wilkinson over the release of Kendra Exposed?

We’ll let the sex tape star herself tell us, courtesy of quotes from this Monday’s reality show episode, which deals directly with the scandalous video:

“It bothers me because people are going to judge me and stuff,” Kendra says. “I just hope to God nobody looks at me like a porn star or something. I just hope they don’t press play because that’s not me. I mean, that was me, but that’s not me now.”

It’s true. Since the tape was filmed by ex-boyfriend Justin Frye, Wilkinson has posed naked for Playboy and used her body to make money off numerous tabloid covers. She’s a totally changed woman!

Kendra W.Kendra Exposed

Doing her best to pretend like she didn’t play a major role in the video’s release, Kendra lashes out at Frye:

“It broke my heart because how can you do that when I have a baby? I have a kid. I have a husband. It just sucks. It’s the hardest thing to deal with right now, and it’s hard on Hank. It’s hard on him because it involves another guy and it’s hard on him because of our son.”

Speaking of a hard-on… nevermind.

Kendra also makes the point that she filmed the video before becoming a celebrity, somehow claiming this makes her different from Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and others that are only famous because they starred in similar tapes.

In conclusion, Wilkinson is comforted by her husband telling her they must hold hands through this crisis, which will “probably be the hardest time in our lives.”

Honestly, K Dubs? Shut the eff up. Everyone’s hardest times should include a $680,000 payday.

DWTS’ Nicole & Derek: “We pushed ourselves”


Despite fierce competition (and the return of its all-star cast) there were no surprises when it came to crowning last night’s winner of Dancing With the Stars. After receiving two perfect scores and some spirited comments from the judges for their Argentine tango and Jive, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and her partner Derek Hough were awarded the mirror ball trophy, marking a second win for Derek.

“I was more nervous because people said, ‘You are a shoe-in. It was like ‘Don’t jinx me!’” says Nicole. Adds Derek: “We never took anything for granted. “If we came first, it just meant we had to work harder the next week and then harder and harder. Staying on top is very hard. We just pushed ourselves and it’s been the most amazing experience, just phenomenal. I am so proud of everything we have accomplished this season and to see this little girl kill it, I’m so happy!”

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy received a respectable 26 points for their Argentine tango, but couldn’t quite get the edge on the competition. “I think in week one when we saw them practicing that we knew this moment would happen tonight,” Erin said after the show. “I am very proud of them.”

Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek and partner Anna Trebunskaya may not have taken gold this time, but after receiving two 28 scores for their Argentine tango and quick step, they leave the competition winners in their own right. “We are so satisfied,” beamed Evan afterward. “We left nothing on the table and when you work and exhaust any possibility in any walk of life you are satisfied — win or lose.”

While each couple turned out an amazing performance, there’s no doubt Kate Gosselin stole the show with her awkward re-do of her most memorable dance to Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi.” Show host Tom Bergeron summed things up best. “It’s rare you see me lose it on TV,” he told In Touch, “but the ending of that dance was so over-the-top.”

Nicole Scherzinger on Dancing with the Stars Victory: This is Beyond the Mirror Ball


During last night’s Dancing With the Stars finale, Nicole Scherzinger and her partner, Derek Hough, earned the unanimous praise of all three of the judges.

Pretty much the same as how fans felt about them all season.

“I’m totally emotional,” Hough said after he and Nicole won the prestigious Mirrorball trophy. “Nicole and I burst out into tears backstage after our tango.”

“We were so overwhelmed with how happy we were with what was going on tonight. Win, lose, draw we were going to be happy. But to win is phenomenal.”

“I’m kind of speechless right now,” confessed Nicole Scherzinger. “I’m going to go into a room and cry. It’s not about the trophy. It’s beyond the trophy.”

Nicole Scherzinger, Derek Hough Win!

Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough kiss the hardware.

“The experience and the challenge and everything you go through – this has been a lot of life-changing experiences in three months. It’s just so intense.”

Meanwhile, there were no hard feelings from talented finalists Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya or Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy – only praise.

“We definitely feel like we haven’t left anything on the table,” Lysacek said. “We all gave it our best shot, but Derek and Nicole were the best from day one.”

“I was a mess when I came here,” said Andrews, the victim of a nude peephole video stalking scandal, said, in tears. “He was exactly what I needed.”

Like Lysacek, Andrews was thrilled to compete in the finale, and humbled by the experience. Adds Lysacek, “I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.”

Fashion Face-Off: Megan Fox vs. Cynthia Nixon


On the surface, Megan Fox and Cynthia Nixon have nothing in common.

The former just got booted from a major franchise (Transformers), while the latter is currently starring in the sequel of another (Sex and the City).

Also, Nixon is a lesbian, while most men would disown their own parents for one look at Fox naked.

But these actresses do share a taste in fashion, as evidenced below. See if this outfit is available in our THG Style Store and share your thoughts on it below…

Lauren “Lo” Bosworth: “pushed” by Hills producers

LoBosworth0526.jpg

This week’s In Touch reveals that Kristin Cavallari — like other cast members — has been pressured by Hills producers to elevate drama, especially when it comes to romance. Now, Lauren “Lo” Bosworth tells In Touch that she also felt compelled to include her formerly off-screen boyfriend on the hit reality show. “I like to keep my private life private, but I was really pushed to do it,” she said of filming her relationship with longtime love, lacrosse player Scott Hochstadt, at Cosmopolitan‘s Third Annual Bikini Bash in Las Vegas on May 24. But, she added, “It’s the last season, so I said okay.”

In Touch had previously reported that the producers even wanted Lo to go so far as to make a sex tape — which she refused — so it comes as no surprise that she can’t wait to return to a normal life, without MTV documenting her every move. “I’m really excited for the show to be over,” she admitted. Kristin announced to In Touch that she’s planning to spill the series’ dirty secrets in a tell-all book — and now, it seems Lo will follow suit as an author. “I just signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster,” she said. “It’s called The Lo Down.” Sounds juicy!

Ka-Khing! Tabloids Kontinue to Kash in on Kardashians Weight Loss Kraze


Yesterday, we spoke to celebrity trainer Nicky Holender. He made it clear that famous people are easy to whip into shape because all are accustomed to hard work and ready for more of it when it comes to losing weight.

All except the Kardashians, that is.

These talentless, lazy sisters have a triple-pronged approach to weight loss:

  1. Take QuickTrim.
  2. Rely on airbrushing.
  3. Hire a publicist to line their pockets with magazine cover cash.

The tabloids eat it up because consumers, for reasons that defy comprehension, think that Kim Kardashian or anyone in her family has any clue at all about healthy living. Just this week alone, these two cover stories are available on newsstands:

QuickTrim BodiesDiet Experts

What sage words does Kim offer about losing weight? She tells Life & Style that it’s important to east breakfast. STOP THE PRESSES!

Of course, it also helps to helps to get Botox injections; and Kardashian also says she tries to get as much protein as possible throughout the day.

Cristiano Ronaldo can probably help Kim with that.
