Hollywood Blows

MSNBC, Fox News and the UK’s Sun are reporting that the Tiger Woods-Elin Nordegren divorce is final, with only a filing in Orlando County Court remaining.

“Everything’s signed. Elin is ready to file for divorce at Orlando County Court,” says an inside source. “She expects to sometime in the next seven days.”

The settlement Elin is to receive, which has become the subject of much debate in recent weeks, is reportedly valued in the neighborhood of $750 million.

Yes, three-quarters of a billion dollars, believed to be the biggest payout of a celebrity divorce ever. There are conditions, however, according to reports:

1. Tiger may not bring any other females around their children.
2. Elin can never publicly speak about his various mistresses.
3. Elin gets full custody of the kids but they share legal custody.

That means Tiger will share decisions about the kids, and as such, Elin will not be able to permanently relocate them to her native Sweden anytime soon.

Tiger’s main caveat, though, was that she shut yer yap – for all eternity.

Tiger and Elin in happier, pre-car crash times.

A pal said: “Tiger’s main fear is her telling her story after he’s rebuilt his reputation, sending him back to the gutter. The price of that sum is her silence.”

“Complete confidentiality. No interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life – even if Tiger dies first – or she’ll lose the lot.”

Basically, Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs, Joslyn James, Devon James and the dozen other hoes we know of ended up costing Tiger about $37.5 million per.

One report suggests that Elin Woods ended up with double the sum she sought after her lawyers determined Tiger is worth much more than $1 billion.

Her friend explained: “Elin’s legal team have done a great job digging up all sorts of assets.” We would have to say that’s the case if the sum is correct.

While it should be noted that The Sun is a British tabloid, the $750 million figure has been reported by more than one source over the past few weeks.

Let’s just say we wouldn’t bet the under on $500 million anyway.

Eclipse is the best Twilight Saga film to date.

Perhaps this helped the movie set a box office record early this morning, but we have a feeling it would have done quite well even without THG’s glowing review.

The third film in this franchise broke the second film’s record haul for midnight showings today, as Eclipse pulled in a whopping $30 million across 4,416 screens nationwide. That figure also marks the widest release of all-time, bumping Iron Man 2 down a notch.

New Moon grossed close to $300 domestically during its run, while the original Twlight topped out at $193 million. Expect Eclipse to sky-rocket past both those numbers.

Just how huge has the Twilight Saga become?

In an incident both depressing and hilarious, Elena Kagan was asked about it during her Supreme Court confirmation hearings today. As you can see below, she refrained from commenting on her affiliation with Team Jacob or Team Edward.

She became a superstar with her 2006 hit solo album, but Stacy “Fergie”
Ferguson isn’t about to say goodbye to the Black Eyed Peas. After rumors
swirled that The Dutchess songstress was leaving the hip-hip group partly due to frustrations with bandmate Will.i.am, the frontman spoke out to Sirius XM’s Area Channel during the Electric Daisy Carnival in LA. “That’s fake!” he scoffed, adding that when he called Fergie after the faux-news broke, she jokingly called him an “idiot” for even discussing the gossip. “We ain’t going anywhere. It’s a family,” Will.i.am concluded of the band, which Fergie joined in 2003.

Is Jake Pavelka gay? Personally, we don’t see it, but there are now two separate reports of this surfacing, and crazier things have turned out to be true.

We’d rate this rumor as less believable than reports of Al Gore trying to sex up Molly Hagerty, but at the same time, we wouldn’t rule it out fully yet.

Despite his nice public persona, The Bachelor star weaves a web of lies, according to Vienna Girardi … and Tanya Douglas, who dated Jake from 2008-09.

“Jake did the same thing to me!” says Tanya, claiming Jake promised to marry her but never followed through on it. “He is a slippery, slimy con man.”

Here’s where the gay rumors come in. As with Vienna, Tanya Douglas says Jake withheld physical affection from Tanya … after sleeping with her first.

“He told me he had to abstain from sex for religious purposes until we were married,” she recalls. “It was weird, ’cause we had already been intimate!”

WEB OF LIES: Did Jake date another man, as Star claims?

Instead of cuddling Tanya, Jake “locked himself in the closet and pray in the dark,” she reveals. “I’m all for prayer, but in the closet?” In the closet … fitting.

Douglas says that the big phony didn’t even go to church regularly and “used religion as an excuse when it was convenient for him.” Vienna can attest.

The religious excuse was many he used for refusing sex with Vienna, or so she claims. Fellow Bachelor contestants think they know the real reason.

“I think he has gay potential and definitely gay tendencies,” a Bachelorette contender, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said of the hunky pilot.

Says Paul Rosseau of The Bachelorette: “He didn’t want to have sex with a beautiful girl and never really tried with the other girls … Nothing personal, Jake!”

Richard Mathey from the same season said, “I’m not sure if he is gay, but it seems he has no experience with the types of women that are on the show.”

Friends of Vienna’s also have conflicting theories about his sexuality. “Vienna told me, ‘I don’t think Jake is into girls,’” a friend of Vienna’s told Radar.

Tell us what you think: Jake Pavelka is …

It’s all a set up.

That’s the argument lawyers for Bruce Beresford-Redman plan to use if their client is ever extradited to Mexico on first-degree murder charges.

The former Survivor producer is the prime suspect in the April death of wife Monica, who was found in a sewer near the Cancun hotel where she and Bruce were vacationing, strangled to death.

Since then, Beresford-Redman has proclaimed his innocence, while the victim’s sisters have made no secret over their beliefs that Bruce is responsible for Monica’s death.

Now, following an unusual hiccup in the case that proves Mexican authorities confiscated Bruce’s cell phone last month and made thousands of dollars worth of calls on it, a source tells TMZ exactly what the suspect’s defense will be:

Beresford-Redman’s attorney will claim police are in need of a scapegoat because there were two deaths aside from Monica’s at the Cancun hotel in question, along with an alleged rape by an employee.

With tourism in danger, the lawyer will state, Bruce has been made the fall guy.

Meanwhile, a private funeral service is scheduled for Monica tomorrow. Bruce is not invited.

Prince William turned 28 years old earlier this month, but there’s really no need to get him a birthday present.

The guy is about to be $20 billion richer.

While it’s being overhyped by tabloids around the world, there’s little doubt that William will eventually marry long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton. Once this marriage takes place, sources say the couple will inherent more money than even Heather Mills would know what to do with.

British journalist Katie Nicholl lists the items coming the pair’s way as “crown jewels, property, the royal art collection, a palace, and a new Audi.”

She estimates the jewelry covering Kate on her wedding day alone to be valued at around $57 million.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will soon get married, inherit billions, rule England and… wait! Justin Bieber has a secret girlfriend?!?

Moreover, William will become the owner of Queen Elizabeth’s private art collection, which includes masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci and is worth at least $15 billion.

Yes, that’s billion. Somewhere, Khloe Kardashian is realizing she married the wrong man for money and attention.

She’ll probably claim she was set up, or they’re not her shoes, or Eleonore Lieven did it, or some such nonsense, but a lawsuit alleges Lindsay Lohan concocted a plan to defraud an L.A. boutique out of thousands of dollars in … shoes.

Church, which sells expensive clothes, jewelry, and accessories, claims the train wreck shopped at the store between November 2009-February 2010.

According to the suit, Lindsay Lohan racked up a bill of $17,060.83 and convinced the owners that her business manager would be paying the bill.

The business manager paid a grand total of $180.

The lawsuit, which will be filed in L.A. County Superior Court, alleges LiLo “had no intention of causing her business manager to pay the entire balance.”

Amusingly, and unfortunately for the plaintiffs, the suit claims the owners relied on her “well known status as a movie actress with substantial income.” 

LOL on both of those assumptions.

The owners are claiming Lindsay Lohan committed premeditated fraud and are seeking the balance – $16,880.63 – plus interest and punitive damages.

Maybe it was a misunderstanding, but as someone who lives beyond her means and never takes responsibility for her actions, we can totally believe it.

Lohan has yet to whip out the list of bad excuses.
