Sandra Bullock & Jesse James: Dangerously close

July 8, 2010


Sandra Bullock may have wanted to tell the world — and herself — that she’s freed herself of Jesse James by divorcing him. But as In Touch has learned, that isn’t entirely true. According to a source close to Jesse, he has not only relocated himself and daughter Sunny, 6, to Sandra’s hometown of Austin, Texas — he has manipulated his entire family, including his mom, Carol, and his ex-wife Karla, the mother of his two older children, Chandler, 15, and Jesse Jr., 12, to come with him. “Jesse is selling the home Karla lives in, which is in his name,” the source explains. Over the weekend of July 4, Jesse and his brood were seen out and about in Austin. Though Jesse and his mother were estranged in the past, he convinced her to move to the Texas city with him “so that he can prove to the court that the children will have a stable and grounding home,” the source reveals. It’s a very difficult situation for Sandra, who’s raising 6-month-old Louis on her own. As much as she may want to distance herself from her cheating ex, she is deeply attached to his children, whom she has said she thinks of as her own. Not wanting to abandon them, Sandra seems intent on playing an active role in their lives — no matter how much it costs her, monetarily and emotionally.

Larry King, Shawn Southwick Cancel Divorce


It seems like only yesterday that Larry King and Shawn Southwick were on the cusp of divorcing amid rumors he was giving it to her sister Shannon Engemann.

It was mid-April. Both sides filed divorce papers separately then, and hope appeared lost … until both filed petitions to dismiss their divorce papers yesterday.

The judge needs to sign the papers to dismiss the divorce petitions, but it’s just a formality. The once-feuding pair look like they will stick this out long term.

A little surprising, as Shawn’s overdose and possible suicide attempt in June seemed to cast doubt on whether the issues with King were able to be reconciled.

Larry King’s eighth wife may be his last after all! Shawn Southwick has already past all his previous ones by making it to double digits. Great job you guys!

The couple, who have two children together, recently reconciled on a trial basis, not long after they filed their divorce papers, but had yet to formally call it off.

Now King, who just announced his retirement, has declared an end to the dissolution of his marriage as well. We’re happy to see they’re working things out!

Lindsay Lohan Possibly Likens Her Jail Sentence to Human Rights Violation in Tweeting Rampage


We put nothing past Lindsay Lohan. Nothing.

That said, she did not overtly compare her legal plight to that of an Iranian woman being tragically stoned in her latest Twitter rant. But you still have to wonder.

Maybe she’s just so moved by Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who may be stoned to death for adultery, that she linked to Newsweek article to draw attention to it.

Or she’s trying to subtly draw a ridiculous parallel to herself, having been sentenced to 90 days in jail Tuesday for repeatedly, brazenly violating her probation.

Come on. Has Lindsay ever cared about anything besides herself? We’re talking about a spoiled brat who walks into court with the words “f–k u” on her nails.

Just saying. Read from the bottom up and see what you think …

 

Lohan Tweeting

What do you think? Drawing attention to a serious issue with no selfish motive whatsoever, or shamelessly using it to attract sympathy to her own plight?

LeBron James’ Decision Made? NBA Star Reportedly Plans Weekend South Beach Bash


The Decision looms … but did LeBron James just drop a major clue?

The NBA star, whose self-glorifying free agency circus finally concludes this evening, reportedly rented six cabanas at the W Hotel in Miami’s South Beach.

Hey, maybe he and his crew just like the city’s famous nightlife. Or maybe the baller is set to leave his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat.

Us broke the story of the South Beach trip, which would be quite the scoop if true, and fuels more credible reports of James leaning towards the Heat.

LeBron James

POOF: Are Cleveland’s dreams about to go up in smoke?

Speculation has run rampant in recent days as the league awaits the decision from its top draw. It’s unclear how much to read into the South Beach thing.

One thing we know: Leicester Bryce Stovell won’t be joining them.

The basketball great will make his announcement from the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich, Conn., Thursday night during an hour-long special at 9 p.m.

Proceeds from commercials will be donated to the charity. Attention will be donated entirely to the one-man marketing colossus that is LeBron James.

Where will LeBron James end up?

Introducing: Twilight for Guys!


Eclipse may be setting the box office on fire, but let’s face it:

How many of those in attendance are men?

If any film in The Twilight Saga wishes to truly set revenue records, it should follow the advice of the following parody, as summed up by this quote from it:

Your skin is soft and shaved everywhere… I know what you are: vampire lesbian.

While we’d never object to ladies in their underwear, the best part of the video above is the reaction of the men that watched this altered version of the film. To wit:

“It was the best acted movie since Reindeer Games!”

Hilarious stuff.

Vienna Girardi Sex Emails to Lee Smith: Revealed, Scandalous, Far From Intelligent


A tearful Vienna Girardi claimed in this week’s explosive interview on The Bachelorette that she was loyal to that stiff Jake Pavelka until the bitter end.

Actor Gregory Michael said he made out with her before the breakup, though, and now a bunch of emails she allegedly wrote to her ex have surfaced.

Emails full of sexual innuendo … and spelling errors.

Lee Smith, one of many ex-boyfriends in the wild, crazy life of Vienna Girardi, has apparently been in contact with her since her stint on The Bachelor.

Vienna’s “bubbie” (whatever the hell that means) released what he says is a June 14-16 email chain – i.e. a week before the Breakup of the Century.

Excerpts from the unintentionally hilarious exchange:

Vienna Girardi, Boyfriend

We think this is Lee Smith, the ex-boyfriend of Vienna Girardi in question. We’re not positive, however. The girl kind of got around. Like a record, one could say.

Lee Smith: “I’m here again feeling a oh so fimilar [sic] feeling … I think it is a mixture of antisapation [sic] or mabey [sic] it’s me just missin you either way…”

Vienna Girardi: “You are my life. I love you so much and can’t wait to be in your arms again.”

Lee Smith: “Don’t u miss touching all the time are [sic] long baths …”

Vienna Girardi: “I do miss all that. I love you so much bubbie. I want our life back.”

Lee Smith: “u are all I want!!!! I want to sex u up so bad baby!”

Gosh, who wouldn’t want to sex that up … well, besides that prude Jake. Interestingly, contrary to her claim that Playboy made up the rumor of a Vienna Girardi nude photo spread, her last email says, “I may be doing playboy this weekend … Xoxo.”

A source close to Vienna says she wasn’t the author of these gems obtained by TMZ, and thinks someone “hacked her email.” LOL, who’s the source, Lindsay Lohan?

Ke$ha Music Video Stills Released for “Take It Off”


Like Adam Lambert, Ke$ha may not be loved by everyone out there, but even her harshest critics must admit:

This singer aims to entertain.

She also brings her own style to every music video, including the latest for the single “Take It Off.” We’ve previewed it below, via a few still images from the unreleased video. What do you think?

Kim Kardashian to Release Second Fragrance


You just couldn’t let Bruce Willis have the spotlight, could you Kim Kardashian?!?

The same week this movie star came out with “the manlest scene in the world,” Kim announced that she’ll release her second fragrance in February 2011. We can’t believe we need to wait so long to smell like the sweat of Miles Austin.

Taking Herself In

“I am so excited to tell you guys that my second fragrance will launch in February of 2011!!!!! I wanted to let you guys know here first so you can all share the excitement with me,” Kim wrote on her blog, adding that the theme is “glamorous.”

Replied a user on Kardashian’s official site:

KIM thats GREAT NEWS!!!!! Im so glad bc honestly your current fragrance didnt work for me, I really wanted to like it, I bought to support u bc I love u and am a big big big fan, but the scent was to “flowery” for me. Hope your new one is different, so i can wear. But regardless I will purchase it!

That sums up Kim’s fan base well: blindly supportive, vocal with their affection for this professional celebrity, yet honest about the utter lack of value she has to offer to them and/or the world in general.

Meanwhile, it’s ironic this individual found the fragrance to be too flowery. This reality star was deflowered years ago on tape. We all saw it.
