Oksana Grigorieva: Mel Gibson is a Deadbeat Dad!

June 29, 2010


Mel Gibson’s estranged ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva is lashing out at the actor and his lawyer for claiming Mel has been generous in supporting their baby.

Oksana’s lawyer, Marci Levine, says to the contrary, “The statement released to TMZ on behalf of Mel Gibson is based upon complete distortions of the truth.”

Regarding Mr. Gibson’s financial contributions toward the parties’ child, Levine says he “conveniently ignores obligations to the child under California law.”

He’s accused of closing his fist and punching her in the face, but Mel’s lawyer, Stephen Kolodny says Mel has opened up his wallet for Oksana Grigorieva.

Gibson put her up in a multi-million dollar house, bought her a car, provided health insurance and gave her “tens of thousands of dollars,” says his attorney.

WAR OF WORDS: Mel and Oksana are in a heated one.

Levine would not specifically say how Mel has fallen short, but Oksana sources are claiming the actor has not paid child support since they split this spring.

She says, “Mr. Gibson persists in attempting to ‘litigate’ this matter in the media, and continues to launch false accusations against the mother of his child.”

“Unlike Mr. Gibson, Ms. Grigorieva has not, and will not engage in undignified banter in the press,” Levine adds, echoing similar accusations from Mel’s side.

Mel’s violent behavior has also been a topic of debate between the warring parties, with Oksana claiming he knocked her teeth out and Mel denying that.

She did see a dentist the day of an alleged encounter with Mel, but who knows what was to blame for what she needed done, or what the work consisted of.

Eclipse Review: The Best Twilight Film Yet!


While The Twilight Saga may boast an impressive, deep cast, let’s face it: this franchise is all about its three main stars.

For that reason, New Moon fell a bit flat, as Robert Pattinson scarcely appeared as Edward and we were left with too much of Bella sitting around and simply pondering her life. Granted, Taylor Lautner took his shirt off a lot, but here’s the great news about Eclipse:

Jacob is once again topless most of the time – but he isn’t the only one heating up the screen. Having been treated to a screening of Eclipse, we can confirm: it’s by far the most action-packed of all three Twilight films, and it’s also the best. Here’s why:

Bella’s internal conflict has external consequences. Jacob or Edward? Edward or Jacob? This love triangle is at the forefront of the film, but it’s placed against the backdrop of a centuries-old feud between werewolves and vampires.

This is far more than typical teenage angst; this is Bella needing to make a decision, the ramifications of which will impact all the lives around her. When Jacob and Edward agree to an alliance in order to protect the girl they love, even men in the audience might stand up and cheer. It’s exciting, selfless stuff.

The movie has a sense of humor. Early on, Edward says of Jacob: “Doesn’t he own a shirt?” It’s a cute, light-hearted wink at the audience and the pop culture phenomenon the franchise has become.

Jacob vs. Edward. Choosing a Team in this rivalry is a necessity for all fans, and Eclipse sets up more of a dichotomy than ever before. At one point, Bella complains that Edward won’t “unzip before marriage.” Meanwhile, Jacob simply oozes sweat and sex appeal. The former is old school, the latter… well, he’s ready to pounce. These differences make Bella’s dilemma all the more stark, which makes it that much more interesting to watch.

The tent scene. Trust us.

The flashbacks. Through a series of character flashbacks, we learn how multiple Cullens earned their fangs. Jasper’s tale of being a Confederate Major is especially gripping.

Great special effects. The movie climaxes with a showdown between wolves and vampires (and one human, of course) that may not be at the level of Avatar, but it makes tremendous use of CGI. Overall, the action is on par with many summer popcorn flicks.

In the end, it’s easy to understand why the Twilight Saga appeals to teenage girls everywhere: two gorgeous guys aren’t just in love with Bella, they are willing to do absolutely anything for her. It’s the stuff we all dream about.

But Eclipse adds action, adventure and history to that simple storyline. It combines the best elements of the first two films and we strongly recommend it to all readers.

Carrie Prejean and Kyle Boller: About to Get Married!


Carrie Prejean is about to get married.

Not to a woman, of course. That would be disgusting and against everything the bible tells us, according to the beauty queen.

Instead, the disgraced former Miss California will walk down the aisle on Friday alongside someone she can truly admire: a busted first round NFL draft pick with a career passer rating of 70.6.

Multiple sources confirm that Prejean and Kyle Boller have blocked out rooms at the Grand Del Mar Hotel in San Diego this weekend, as they plan a lavish wedding that definitely won’t include Donald Trump or any THG employee, after we ranked Carrie as the second-biggest Turkey of 2009.

Prejean and Boller got engaged in February.

Since then, we’ve heard little from the beauty queen that once told us how much God loves fake boobs and who blamed society for her sex tape.

We really miss her.

Kristin Cavallari: Dating Miguel Medina!


She’s dated a number of high-profile fellas, but Kristin Cavallari revealed this morning that she’s dating Miguel Medina, a cameraman from The Hills.

“That’s not part of the show,” Cavallari said when asked about Medina. “Yeah, I’m currently dating [Miguel] and that all I’m going to say about that.”

So basically, Miguel Medina’s job is to film The Hills, which features his girlfriend pretending to date other guys. Hey, whatever pays the mortgage.

Hooking up came naturally, she explained.

“Well, when you’re together all the time, you’re close, and it just sorta happens,” Kristin Cavallari told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show earlier today.

Cavs, K

The Hills cameraman Miguel Medina gets to stare at Kristin Cavallari all day and gets paid for it. The same is true for our interns, to a lesser extent. Could be worse.

The reality star’s former loves include Stephen Colletti, Matt Leinart and Brody Jenner. She also pretended to date that tool Justin-Bobby for a bit.

Along with Stephanie Pratt, Jenner and Hills creator Adam DiVello, Cavallari hyped the 100th episode, airing tonight, plus the series finale July 13.

“Everybody’s kind of coming at peace with their stories we’ve been following,” DiVello said. “A few definitely found what they were looking for.”

DiVello also said that while they won’t be partaking in the bogus drama, the after-show will feature former stars Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port.

Kim Kardashian Gets Wax Figure, Madame Tussauds Jumps Way Over Shark


Earlier this month, Kourtney Kardashian pretended to wax the pubic hair off Khloe Kardashian in one of the most ridiculously scripted moments in reality show history.

Now, sister Kim Kardashian in joining in on the fun – sort of.

The professional celebrity has become the latest star to get the wax figure treatment at Madame Tussauds museum in New York City. She joins such other recently-honored celebs as Robert Pattinson and The Jonas Brothers.

Waxed Kim

Who knew Madame Tussauds was so into sloppy seconds? Ray J waxed this ass years ago!

In recognition of this event – which proves Madame Tussauds is officially out of talented individuals to sculpt and portray in its halls – Kim wrote on her blog today:

I can finally reveal that I am getting my own wax figure at Madame Tussauds in NYC!!!!

This is one of the greatest honors ever and I am so thrilled and excited. Now I will never have to leave NYC… I’ve officially gone bi-coastal! LOL

As you can see above, the museum has only carved the face so far. It needs to bring in record amounts of wax before it can even get started on Kim’s butt and the boobs.

Ali Fedotowsky Reflects on Bachelorette Drama


The shocking revelation sprung on Ali Fedotowsky on last night’s The Bachelorette was unlike many of the contrived scenarios we’ve seen in recent seasons.

That’s because, despite the obligatory melodrama, it appeared to be legitimate. Our girl was totally caught off guard – as was Justin when he got busted.

Below are excerpts from Ali’s blog, which she writes for People each week after the ABC reality show airs. It’s interesting to hear her reflect on the scandal.

As for who she picks among the five guys who received roses? She’s not saying, but The Bachelorette spoilers we’ve compiled hint at an unexpected conclusion.

Anyway, here’s what she says about last night’s episode

Cute New Bachelorette

“So let’s address the big pink elephant in the room and get it out of the way. First off, when Jessica called me, the first thing I said to her was ‘Are you okay?’”

“I felt so bad for her. I only knew Justin for weeks; he  betrayed her for years. No woman should ever let a man treat her with disrespect the way Justin did.”

“The reason I didn’t look super upset on he phone is because I was not going to let him hurt me. I wouldn’t give Justin the satisfaction of thinking he could.”

“I wanted to be strong – for me, for [Jessica Spillas], and for all the women and girls watching who have been betrayed by a man like this before.”

“When I told Justin that he would regret this, I didn’t mean his lack of relationship with me. I meant that he would want a chance to explain himself.”

“As you all saw, he didn’t do such a great job. I guess that is what happens when you’re caught in a lie. That’s all I really have to say about that.”

Bristol talks Levi and her Secret Life!


Bristol Palin is no stranger to the spotlight — her mom, Sarah, unsuccessfully ran for Vice President of the U.S. in 2008, and at the same time Bristol decided to have a child out of wedlock. And while the 19-year-old is in Alaska raising her 18-month-old son, Tripp, she still makes the news often, especially when it comes to rumors of a possible reconciliation with her baby’s father, Levi Johnston. “There are a lot of rumors about everyone and everyone’s business,” Bristol tells In Touch. “But I don’t really want to address it. We are working together and whatever is best for Tripp is what we are going to do.”

She is thrilled, however, to call attention to her guest-starring gig on her favorite TV show The Secret Life Of The American Teenager, a show that deals with teen pregnancy issues. In the episode, airing Monday, July 5, Bristol makes a special appearance as herself, playing a friend of Amy (Shailene Woodley), whom she meets at a music program for teen mothers in New York.

“There was no hesitation on my part at all,” she tells In Touch. “It’s a family-based show and right up my alley. Teen pregnancy is something I can relate to and have been through. It was a good fit. Going through the teen pregnancy at the same time Amy was going through hers [on the show], that was extremely relatable. I had been there and felt the same things.”

Blake Lively or Katie Cassidy: Who’d You Rather …


When Melrose Place’s ratings tanked so badly that the CW couldn’t justify renewing it, the network did the next best thing and retained Katie Cassidy.

She’s been cast on Gossip Girl this fall in a recurring role.

Katie will play a love interest for Nate (Chace Crawford), who just split with Serena (Blake Lively). It’s hard to trade up from that, but he may have!

Might Cassidy stick around and become a permanent addition? Some fans are already asking for it, but she hasn’t even debuted yet, so we’ll see.

The bigger question: which Gossip Girl beauty you’d rather … you know. You do know, right? (NOTE: We don’t mean rather have as your daughter).

Kristen Stewart on The Late Show: Awkward Alert!!!


Prior to her appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman last night, Kristen Stewart showed off a shorter, dyed hairstyle. Sound off with your thoughts on it NOW.

From there, the Eclipse star proceeded to sit alongside the talk show host… and make things incredibly awkward for all that watched.

We adore Kristen, don’t get us wrong. But at some point her shyness stops being endearing and starts just being strange.

This is an actress that’s been on the global stage for years now, not some scientist locked in her lab 24/7, yet her stories still trail off and she can’t seem to banter at all with the person interviewing her.

Late Show Interview

Near the end of the following four minutes of interviewing Hell, Letterman even has to comfort Stewart, assuring her “you’re fine, it’s fine.”

In her defense, however, the audience didn’t offer much help. Those in attendance snickered at any reference Kristen made to Taylor Lautner, taking her quote about her co-star being “active” to mean… who the heck even knows? But something “ooohh” and “ahhh” worthy apparently.

See what we mean below and sound off: Is Kristen cute in these exchanges, or just painfully awkward?

Jennifer Hudson Describes Tragic Family Murders as a “Blur,” Speaks Out for First Time


It doesn’t get much more tragic than the news Jennifer Hudson received in October 2008: her mother, brother and nephew were all found dead.

The murderer was eventually apprehended and Jennifer has gone on with life as best she can ever since, giving birth to a son and singing the national anthem at Super Bowl XLIII.

Last night, meanwhile, in a VH1 special titled Behind the Music: Jennifer Hudson, the singer opened up about the tragedy for the first time. She referred to it all as a “blur” and added:

“It was surreal. It was like I was outside of myself.”

As a sad reminder: on October 24, 2008, Jennifer’s mom and sibling were shot to death inside their Chicago residence; the body of her seven-year old nephew was found later in an abandoned SUV.

Twice the Talent

For two weeks after the incident, Hudson says “I was pretty much secluded from everything that was going on.

“I didn’t watch any TV, I didn’t even want to know what was going on because I had more than enough to deal with… I prayed when I got up in the morning and prayed before I laid down at night. If I didn’t, I’d wake up depressed.”

Referring to her son, Hudson concluded with: “[David] makes me feel like the most special person on earth. I want him to get the same love and the same upbringing my mother gave us.”
