At 28, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is pretty much on top of the world. As one of the breakout stars of MTV’s Jersey Shore, he’s essentially paid to party, and he counts celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Leonardo DiCaprio among his many fans. But, as his longtime best friend Jon Manfre (who goes by “The Unit”) exclusively tells In Touch, things weren’t always quite so rosy for Mike: Only a few years back, when the economy first began to tumble, he was “working in mortgages, and he lost his job. He lost his house. And then his girlfriend thought it was a good time to leave — she even took the dog. He found himself with nothing,” Jon says. “And that’s when he turned it around. He took what everybody loved about him — his body — and he used that to his advantage.”

And even though Mike has been ripped for so long that he was known as “Mikey Abs” before he got his current nickname, little sister Melissa tells In Touch that her brother is much more than a six-pack. “He’s the type of guy who, when he has a steady girlfriend, he treats her like a princess,” she says. “He’s generous and loving and when there’s someone he really cares about, he goes all out.” Fame, she adds, hasn’t changed him a bit. “He’s always been how he is now. He was very energetic and confident and funny, and the girls always loved him. We always had girls calling the house for Mike.”

Devon James, Tiger Woods’ porn star mistress who claims he’s the father of her son, even though he’s clearly not, continues to fight the good, money-grubbing fight.

She’s filed new court documents practically begging a judge to force the golf great to submit to a DNA test to establish paternity of nine-year-old Austin T. James.

T for Tiger, natch.

As for the previous DNA test that showed Tiger is not the father (the real daddy is a convict named Pele Watkins), Devon claims there was a “misunderstanding.”

Right. Those often happen in science.

FORK IT OVER: Devon James wants Tiger’s DNA … again.

In the docs, Devon states again that she believes she gave birth to Woods’ love child, and she’s willing to provide information on the time, place and hotel location where conception allegedly occurred to help prove Tiger knocked her up.

She’s also willing to name “his golf buddies who were there at the time in Pebble Beach.” Wow, knock us over with a feather. You’re officially toast now, Tiges!

Through his attorneys, Tiger has denied the whole thing, and has recently filed papers of his own asking a judge to throw out the entire paternity case.

Undeterred, Devon presses on, even wearing a shirt proclaiming herself Tiger Woods’ Baby Mama. ‘Cause if she says it enough, maybe we’ll believe it?

Man, this girl is crazy. If she wanted Tiger Woods’ DNA so bad, she should have pulled a Monica Lewinsky / Molly Hagerty after the act. Just saying.

Sorry. Gross.

Victoria’s Secret beauty Doutzen Kroes is expecting her first child, a rep for the model confirms! The baby’s father is her fiancé, DJ Sunnery James.

“If I have any questions about being a mom I can always call Heidi or Alessandra,” Kroes tells People, referring to fellow models Klum and Ambrosio.

“Sunnery and I are absolutely in the clouds,” the excited mama-to-be – who’s due in January – recently revealed to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

“The critical first three months have gone well and I feel good.”

So good in fact that Doutzen Kroes, who’s the face of L’Oreal Paris, is still modeling – but admits she will only do so until she begins to show.

You are a lucky man, DJ Sunnery James. Congratulations to Doutzen Kroes!

Just when you thought a day might pass without a secretly recorded Mel Gibson telephone tirade against Oksana Grigorieva leaking online … another one has.

In the latest of the shocking tapes, which his lawyers are claiming have been edited and tampered with, he rails against the “B!tch c*%t wh*re gold digger!”

While we’re used to Gibson using vile language and becoming completely unglued, rant #5 is most notable for his apparent admission of financial problems.

Gasping for air and in between more f-bombs than we can even count, Gibson blames the mother of his eight-month-old daughter for his dire fiscal straits.

“F*ckin’ user! You f*ckin’ used me! I will never forgive you!” he yells, panting as if he just ran a marathon. “You are very mean,” Grigorieva calmly replies.

This further enrages the deeply disturbed actor.

“Yeah, you know what mean is now, don’t you? So don’t call me mean when I’m nice to you. Because I’d like to show you what mean really is,” he screams.

Then he really goes off: “B!tch c*%t wh*re gold digger!! All true! You f*%king proved it to me! If you’re ever interested in proving otherwise, let me know.”

“Look at yourself. Look what you’ve f*%king done! Look at your son. He’s a f*%king mess. You f*%king excuse for a mother. You’re a f*%king bitch!”

Wow.

The Mel Gibson tapes make abundantly clear he needs mental help. But he apparently needs financial assistance too, if his latest tirade is any indication.

Mel says he needs cash so badly, he had to part ways with some artwork and – gasp – L.A. Lakers tickets. “I don’t have any f*%king money!” he moans.

It’s a stunning claim from one of Hollywood’s biggest names, although he did just divorce his wife of 30 years, Robyn. That couldn’t have been cheap.

Follow the jump to listen to the fifth Mel Gibson tape …

Ever since the first rant was leaked last week, a disturbing picture of the actor has been painted. But what remains unclear is the context of these tapes.

Why is he so enraged? Were they all recorded the same day, or in the same general time period? Has Oksana really edited them, as his lawyers allege?

None of this changes that Mel has serious issues, but we feel there must be more to this than we know at this time – especially given their custody fight.

Oksana wants Mel, who she says attacked her, stripped of custody of eight-month-old Lucia. The police are investigating him for domestic violence.

Stay tuned ... and share your comments on this shocking scandal below.

Finally, someone is taking issue with Pamela Anderson’s body.

The actres flew to Montreal this week to publicize her latest PETA ad, only to be turned away by the city. Canadian officials denied a permit for the unveling because they claim the bikini-based billboard is somehow sexist.

Said Montreal film commissioner Daniel Bissonnette, whose office laid down the law:

“It is not so much controversial, as it goes against all principles public organizations are fighting for in the everlasting battle of equality between men and women.”

Anyone care to make sense of that statement? Do any men feel discriminated against by the following ad?

As seen here, the poster reads: “All Animals Have the Same Parts. Go Vegetarian.”

We’re pretty sure that’s inaccurate, however. We’ve never seen a cow or pig with silicone in their breasts. Moreover, Pamela’s parts haven’t stopped many men from eating her.

Replied the actress to the controversy: “In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that a woman would be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens. In some parts of the world, women are forced to cover their whole bodies with burqas — is that next?

“I didn’t think that Canada would be so puritanical.”

Snaps, yo! Your move, Canada.

Known as a partier, Prince Harry often gets a bum rap in his native U.K. — and his reputation has followed him to New York. While in town for the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, the younger British heir, 25, let his royal hair — and his pants — down at the Soho House New York on June 26. Although his rep denies it, “he jumped in the pool, stripped down and mooned everyone!” an eyewitness said of the redhead, who had earlier downed “a few” cocktails with pals. Luckily, onlookers weren’t offended by the display. “It was a hoot!” an insider adds. “He was having an awesome time.”

Brody Jenner has been pitching a reality show about his new romance — now he’s just got to convince his girlfriend, Avril Lavigne, to co-star! According to an insider, Brody, 26, is determined to increase his C-list level of fame, and he thinks dating Avril, 25 — in front of America — is the way to do it. “Brody came up with the idea for a reality show, and he’s begging Avril to do it,” her pal tells In Touch. “She’s in love with him, but isn’t sure about it, yet she doesn’t want to tell him no.” Brody and Avril have been seen together since February — soon after his split with Playboy model Jayde Nicole and her separation from husband Deryck Whibley.

Ali Fedotowsky has already been betrayed on The Bachelorette this season. Fortunately, Rated R (Justin Rego) and his cheating ways were exposed relatively early.

Unfortunately, she won’t be so lucky with Frank Neuschaefer, one of her final three … or the producers of the ABC reality series, who set her up for heartbreak.

That’s according to In Touch Weekly, yes. But there’s something to it.

By now, whether you read The Bachelorette spoilers or not, you’ve likely seen previews for next week and know that Frank is about to drop a bomb on our girl.

That bomb is his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Caruso, with whom he’s reunited after blatantly ditching Ali despite wooing her all these weeks … it’s simply heartbreaking.

Even more so? That the producers were in on it.

Monday on The Bachelorette, Frank Neuschaefer will break Ali’s heart/

According to reports, Frank didn’t exactly pull a Justin and use Ali Fedotowsky for publicity. He really liked her, but genuinely loved Nicole and wanted to reconcile.

“Frank didn’t think they would fall in love,” a source tells In Touch. “He followed his heart and did what was best for him – and ultimately what’s best for Ali, too.”

He considered Ali his girlfriend, says a source, and when producers refused to let him break up with Ali properly, they set the star up for even more heartbreak.

“They betrayed her,” says the source.

How? That remains to be seen. But months after that fateful night in Tahiti, Frank and Nicole were seen on a romantic date in Chicago. Follow the jump to see:

Ali who? Frank puts the moves on Nicole Caruso.

Who should Ali choose on The Bachelorette?

Hulk Hogan has squared off against numerous foes inside the wrestling ring, but not even Andre the Giant presented the sort of challenge he and other Gulf Coast residents are facing these days.

Asked about the effects of the BP oil spill on his Clearwater Beach property, Hogan told Life & Style this week:

“No one can give us a straight answer. Now that it’s hurricane season, the big unknowns are coming at us. How far is the oil going to spread? Is it going to push way up on the land?”

The Hulkster shares that residence with fiancé Jennifer McDaniel.

Let me tell you something, Mean Gene: BP sucks!

Hogan says his house hasn’t been directly affected, but the same can’t be said for the surrounding area.

“The local economy depends on tourism. All of a sudden the tourists aren’t here. And I’ve seen the price of [seafood] skyrocketing, because we depend on most of the grouper and the shrimp.”

The Hulkster says he isn’t “trying to blame anybody, but “we feel helpless, because we don’t even know who to go to! We just want to be on the same team again cleaning it up.”

Hogan should speak to Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder. That actor has been more active than anyone in the region, doing all he can to bring attention and assistance to the ravaged coast.
