Mariah Carey on Nick Cannon: In Pain, Hopeful

January 4, 2012


As previously reported, Nick Cannon was admitted to as Aspen hospital last night due to what his wife has described as “mild kidney failure.”

What is the prognosis for the America’s Got Talent host? In a follow-up statement to People, Mariah Carey says she isn’t certain, but adds that Cannon is in “good spirits,” although “the situation is not easy” and he’s in “a lot of pain.”

“We are hopeful that he’ll be 100 percent as soon as possible,” Carey says. “We really appreciate everybody’s love and support.”

Cable is in stable condition and is being transferred to a facility in Los Angeles. Well enough to Tweet, the singer wrote this afternoon:

“Thank you all for all your love, prayers and concern. You know me … I will be a’ight.”

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco Wedding: Called Off Due to Cheating Allegations!


Chad Ochocinco’s fiancee Evelyn Lozada may 86 the couple’s wedding for good because she suspects 85 has been cheating behind her back, according to new reports.

The Basketball Wives reality star recently confronted the Chad after she became suspicious about his recent behavior … and apparently wasn’t moved by his reaction.

The couple hasn’t split up, but the wedding is off … for now.

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco are (were?) set to marry this summer.

While Evelyn hasn’t “officially” cancelled the wedding yet, things aren’t looking good right now. It’s still unclear if this will be resolved in time … or at all.

To make matters worse, Chad and Evelyn were supposed to begin shooting their new reality show in just three weeks. That plan is also now up in the air.

Lozada was also at the center of cheating allegations recently – with Terrell Owens no less – but this time it’s Ocho who’s supposedly been running around.

We know you can’t take the suspense, but we’ll keep you updated. Stay tuned.

Angelina Jolie Pregnant, May Leave Brad Pitt For Knocking Up Jennifer Aniston, Tabloids Claim


Wow. The tabloids are starting off 2012 with a bang.

Taking the art of fabricating scandals about Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston to new heights, Star claims Ange temporarily left Brad after finding out that he made a baby with Jen … which she miscarried … in 2004 … while married to Brad.

Seriously, they printed this. A “reliable source” said:

Brad Pitt Pregnancy Shocker!

“She assumed all along she was the only woman Brad had ever impregnated. Now Angie is questioning everything, including whether she can ever trust Brad again.”

That has her thinking of leaving him for good, supposedly. Maybe.

“Brad doesn’t tell Angie everything, especially when it comes to Jen,” adds the source. “The mention of Jen makes Angie completely irrational.” (That part we buy.)

“But he never imagined this would infuriate Angie to the extent that it has. Now it could spell the end of them forever.” Brutal, there’s no other way to describe it.

It gets better, incredibly. The National Enquirer says, simultaneously, that in related news … Angelina Jolie is pregnant right now! In a startling development …

Sources say the thrilled Oscar winner is three months along and can’t hide her telltale belly bump … which is not visible in any of her recent interviews. Details.

“Brad and Angie are ecstatic,” an insider said of Brangelina baby #7, allegedly due later this year. “They’ve been trying to conceive for most of the year.”

“It was always their goal to have another biological baby.”

“They want to adopt at least one more down the line. But at 36, Angie’s biological clock has been ticking like mad. With all of Angie’s medical woes lately, she and Brad consider it a blessing and a miracle that she was able to conceive.”

“Skeletal” Angie had a very rough first trimester and strug­gled to keep weight on. However, “she’s put on weight over the holidays, stuffing herself with meat and fruit.”

Phew. Sometimes a girl needs to stuff herself with meat. Says the source:

“She’s com­pletely committed to staying healthy for the sake of her family.”

You cannot make this stuff up, people. Oh, wait …

Exclusive: Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza: Engaged and in Love!

courtmaz1_wide.jpg

Mario Lopez has announced that he and Courtney Mazza — his longtime girlfriend and mother of his 15-month-old daughter, Gia — are engaged! The Extra host popped the question over the New Year’s holiday weekend in Ixtapa, Mexico. But right before he did, In Touch was at the Big Bang New Year’s Eve party on December 31 in Hollywood and talked exclusively with Mario on the red carpet about his hopes for the future.

“I’m looking forward to staying busy [in 2012] and continuing to work hard on the shows that I’m blessed to work on, and hopefully adding to the family. Hopefully!” As for adding to the family, Mario wants more, but doesn’t see a Mario Jr. in his future anytime soon. “I don’t care as long as the baby’s healthy, but with my luck I will probably have all girls!” Mario and Courtney headed into the party and spent the night sipping cocktails and partying with friends while Cobra Starship lit up the stage.

A source tells In Touch that when the countdown to midnight began, Mario got onstage with Courtney, looked at her and said, “I love you,” and the pair shared a passionate kiss as the clock struck 12. Little did she know he was about to propose later that weekend in Mexico! Congratulations to the happy — and very in love — couple!

Kardashian Sisters to Get All Dolled Up


Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are about to get all dolled up. Literally!

A source tells Us Weekly that Mattell will immortalize these sisters via an upcoming limited-edition Barbie line that “will reflect the girls’ measurements and may even come in Kardashian-designed outfits.”

We can only hope.

Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian

This makes sense for three reasons:

  1. Kim Tweeted over the holidays: “Merry Christmas Barbs! Long time no see! What did Ken get you for Christmas? Miss you doll!”
  2. Kim once posed like a Barbie doll.
  3. Kim has the personality of a Barbie doll.

Michael Lohan: I’m Lucky to Be Alive!


The Lohan family members like to live on the edge.

Lindsay Lohan’s troubled father Michael has been in and out of the hospital, and his court-ordered rehab facility, since his two arrests in one week late last year.

“I don’t know what God has in store for me, but it must be BIG. I should’ve been dead five times already,” Michael reflected of his numerous health woes.

When you collapse at an AA meeting, times are tough.

It's Michael Lohan

MiLo says he’s finally on the road to recovery, though.

“It’s by far the best treatment facility I have ever worked with or have been to,” he said about A New Day treatment center in North Palm Beach, Florida.

“A little longer and the blood clot would have taken me out.”

Separated from his four children over the holidays, Michael said his treatment is finally improving their relationship, especially with his eldest daughter.

“The whole thing has made me look at life differently and brought me and my entire family closer, including Lindsay,” he said in a chat with Radar.

Michael was sentenced to 90 days in rehab and will be out in a few months to entertain us once again – hopefully in good health for years to come.

Ron Paul Declares Himself One of Three Winners in Iowa Caucus


If Ron Paul was disappointed in last night’s Iowa caucus results, it didn’t show.

The Republican Congressman from Texas finished a strong third behind Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, but certainly served notice that he’s a factor in 2012.

Paul wanted some legitimacy and a bigger platform for his movement, and by securing over 20 percent in the first-in-the-nation caucuses, he’s on his way.

On stage before a cheering crowd Tuesday, Paul said winning elections is the best way to promote a cause, and that he was one of three winners last night:

Claiming a ticket out of Iowa, Paul vowed to continue his fight, even as GOP rivals such as Newt Gingrich, Romney and Santorum dismiss him as unelectable.

Iowa voters thought otherwise, taking to Paul’s small-government, anti-war and pro-civil liberties message in enough numbers to lift him into the top tier.

Evangelicals, home schoolers, young people, moderates, libertarians and disaffected Democrats formed an unlikely coalition that led to his strong showing.

Can it be replicated or improved upon elsewhere? That’s the key question.

“We have tremendous opportunity,” Paul said. “It won’t be long that there’s going to be an election up in New Hampshire, and believe me, this momentum is going to continue, this movement is going to continue and we are going to keep scoring.”

With a huge smile at the end, he continued, “So tonight, we have come out of an election where there were essentially three winners, three top vote-getters.”

“We will go on, we will raise the money, I have no doubt about the volunteers.”

Indeed, Paul’s fundraising and organization make him formidable almost anywhere. As the field narrows (Michele Bachmann is already out), can he gain support?

We’ll find out in New Hampshire.

Robert Pattinson Puckers Up in Bel Ami


Cover your eyes, Kristen Stewart. You do NOT want to see this.

A couple new photos from Bel Ami have been released, and they depict Robert Pattinson like millions of Twilight Saga fans never wanted him to be: kissing women that are not named Bella Swan. See for yourself:

Robert Pattinson in Bel AmiBel Ami Photo

Bel Ami comes out on March 2 and find Pattinson in the role of Georges Duroy, a man who rises to power in Paris by sleeping his way through rich, beautiful women. But at least he has good taste.

The females in question are played by Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman, Kristen Scott Thomas.

Check out the Bel Ami trailer and decide: Will you go see R. Patt in this role?

Kim Kardashian: Homewrecker!

kimhomewrecker1_wide.jpg

It’s not exactly news that Kim Kardashian doesn’t have much respect for the institution of marriage. But, as exclusively reported in this week’s In Touch, her disdain for wedding vows isn’t limited to her own. Not only did Kim, 30, engage in a longtime flirtation with married basketball player Kobe Bryant, 33, she happily encouraged an affair between him and her friend Carla DiBello! “Kim has had a crush on Kobe for years,” a friend tells In Touch. And though she ultimately realized it wouldn’t look good for her to be seen with a taken man, she saw no problem encouraging him to date her pal.

And it turns out that’s not the only relationship that Kim’s been responsible for breaking up in the last few years… Amber Rose recently revealed that Kim was a key factor in her split from Kanye West! “Kim is one of the main reasons that Kanye and I are not together,” she says. “She’s a homewrecker!” Apparently, Kim — who was going out with Reggie Bush at the time — was secretly sexting the rapper. And even after Amber confronted her, she refused to own up to her bad behavior. With a track record like that, it’s no wonder Kim’s marriages have been so unsuccessful. We suggest she do some serious soul-searching before she gets involved again. Especially if she’s thinking about going after a guy who already has a wife or girlfriend!
