Britney Spears Wants To Get Married To Jason Trawick

KENTWOOD, La., Nov.8 (TOTI) --

Britney Spears might have a bit of a troubled past, but the Circus pop star and mother of two sons wants to give love another chance and is ready to marry her agent and boyfriend, Jason Trawick.

Love has spilled over the professional relationship that Spears, 27, and Trawick, 37, share and Britney is hoping this relationship might be for keeps. Life & Style reports, "Britney told Jamie and Lynne she wants to marry Jason."

Her parents, understandably, are concerned about her desires to marry. Britney has been under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie, since
January 2008. Prior to his conservatorship, Britney Spears had several bouts of odd behavior, including shaving her head and attacking a paparazzi with an umbrella. The final straw was when she refused to allow her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, to take their young sons, Sean and Jayden, from her home after a scheduled visitation.

An insider told the tabloid, "They're worried Britney is confusing close friendship with romance."

Despite her parent's opinions in the matter, the source continued, "She says Jason makes her feel safe and loved."

Although official wedding plans are not in the works, the mag reports that Britney wants to get married at her mother's house in Kentwood, Louisiana.
"Britney wants to take time planning it, though. She keeps talking about wanting this marriage to last - so the wedding has to be just right."

Britney has been married twice. She first married a childhood friend, Jason Alexander, in a quicky Las Vegas wedding chapel in 2004. That marriage was
annulled 55 hours after the ceremony was conducted. Her second marriage to the father of her two sons, Kevin Federline ended in divorce in 2007. Federline currently has custody of the boys. Along with love, Brit is hoping that another marriage might solidify her chances of getting her sons back.

"Jason is wonderful with the boys. Britney has no fears about his being a daddy." The source continued, "The more stable Brit looks, the better she thinks her chances are of getting the boys back. That's another reason she wants to get married again."

Angelina Jolie Won't Let Brad Pitt Go

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 8 (TOTI) --

For months now we've been hearing rumors about how Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are close to breaking up for good, yet it never seems to happen. A new report from In Touch formulates a new theory and why that keeps happening.

Even though their relationship is basically at its end, Angelina Jolie refuses to come to terms with it, and won't let Brad Pitt leave.

The tabloid uncovered new evidence that Brad Pitt has continued a relationship with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston that current lover Angelina Jolie finds distasteful. Angie found Brad texting Jen Aniston on October 26, after he waited until she fell asleep. She found out what happened by looking through his text message sent items the next day, and immediately confronted the 46 year old actor.

Brad didn't argue with her. He simply admitted what he'd done.

"Angelina flipped, then spent the rest of the day in tears," an insider said.

Despite the new tension, it didn't stop the two from appearing in public the same night.

They hit a movie premier that evening and followed it up with an appearance at Cecconi's in Hollywood. It didn't take long for the facade of tranquility to be damaged.

"Angelina's eyes were red, as if she was going to burst into tears at any minute," said a witness.

"You could cut the tension with a knife," said another onlooker.

The couple looked raw emotionally because of fighting from earlier that day.

"She told him that if he leavers her, she won't be able to cope," said the insider.

The next day Angelina decided on a different course of action.

"She's been sweetness and light, chatting with Brad and asking him about his current projects - all the things she hasn't shown an interest in in years."

For now, Brangelina remains in tact. Do you think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will stay together for much longer?

Jon Gosselin Addicted To Fame, Apologizes To Kate

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 8 (TOTI) --

You may be sick of him, but don't expect Jon Gosselin to disappear from the national landscape any time soon. It turns out he's addicted to the limelight, despite denying it in the past.

"I think I'm misunderstood," Jon told In Touch. "I'm not a fame seeker. Half the stuff I've done, if I look at my moral compass, I shouldn't have done. It's like fame cancelled out conviction."

Jon Gosselin was speaking at a public forum on New York City's West Side Jewish Center. The event was hosted by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

The setting helped Gosselin get in the mood for atonement. He even apologized for his behavior to wife Kate Gosselin, who he's divorcing.

"I'll apologize to her for openly having relationships in the public eye," he said. "That was a huge mistake. It's almost like a stab in the back. I definitely regret it."

Despite his lofty talk, most of Jon Gosselin's recent actions indicate he's doing his best to stay in the public eye, while Kate Gosselin is busy raising the couple's eight children.

Even Rabbi Shmuley didn't sound completely convinced that Jon was ready to leave the public eye.

"I believe he is sincere," said the Shmuley. "But as I told him, sincerity is gauged by one's actions."

Janet Jackson To Wed Jermaine Dupri

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 8 (TOTI) --

This summer, Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson announced that their 7 year relationship had reached its conclusion. New reports indicate that the couple is now back together, and even more serious than before.

Janet Jackson, 43, is planning a wedding with Dupri, 37, according to a new report from In Touch.

"Janet and Jermaine never fell out of love, but they just started taking one another for granted," a source close to the couple said.

Even though they broke up earlier this year, the couple stayed in close contact.

"Now they're hoping to get married early next year, and they're rushing it because after Michael's death, the family needs something to smile about."

According to the friend, Janet Jackson plans on raising the three children that Michael Jackson left behind. She also feels it would be best for them to have a strong father figure in their life.

Stephanie Pratt Heading To Rehab

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 8 (TOTI) --

Stephanie Pratt was charged with a DUI and released on bail on October 18. According to a new report from In Touch, Stephanie told a friend she would be heading to rehab just hours after the incident.

"Stephanie is going to enroll in an outpatient program in L.A. to deal with her use of alcohol," the friend said.

The pal related that the DUI ended up serving as just the right push Stephanie needed.

"Getting a DUI was the wake up call she needed to get professional help for her drinking problem. Like a lot of people, she needed something to shake her up. She realizes it could have been a lot worse."

The 23 year old Pratt is the sister of Spencer Pratt, and appears alongside him on The Hills reality television show.

Gerard Butler And Lindsay Lohan - Oh My

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 7 (TOTI) --

Gerard Butler has been linked to just about every female in Hollywood in the last few years, and now you can add a new and surprising name to the list.

In Touch is now reporting that Gerard Butler has hooked up with part-time lesbian and full-time fire-crotch Lindsay Lohan.

Samantha Ronson, Lindsay's ex, was happily spinning records in New York, when Lohan jetted off to fabulous Morocco for a clandestine meeting with Butler.

Butler and Lohan were seen swapping spit at the opening of the Mazagan Beach Resort in El Jadida.

"He's hot, and he's mine. I've got no ring on my finger, so I'm going to have lots of fun. This is the most romantic place in the world, after all," Lohan was overheard saying.

Later that same night the two were seen kissing.

"I came here to get away from it all," said Lohan. "I'm ready to have fun now."

Ever since Lindsay Lohan parted ways with Samantha Ronson, she has again been seen in the company of men. Some say she still secretly pines away for the love of SamRo, though.

"I just want to find someone who loves me back," Lohan said. "I feel I'm going to have a heart attack every time I think about a breakup."

Deanna Pappas To Get Married - Finally

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 7 (TOTI) --

Despite her many appearances on reality television where she looked for romance, Deanna Pappas, the Bachelorette, ended up finding love through more traditional means, even though her contacts from TV helped.

Pappas met 25 year old Stephen Stagliano through his twin brother, Michael, who appeared as one of the finalists on The Bachelorette last season.

Michael Stagliano is dating former Bachelor contestant Holly Durst. The two of them decided to hook up Deanna Pappas and Stephen. Luckily for the new couple, things worked out just great.

"They played matchmaker!" Stephen told In Touch.

Pappas and Stagliano have a lot in common.

"We both love to hike and golf - and we both want a family," Deanna said. "We are pretty traditional and we won't live together until we're married."

The new romance is quite the contrast between what transpired with Jesse Csincak, who she got engaged to on The Bachelorette.

"We don't speak," said Pappas. "After everything that happened, he is not someone I want in my life ever again."

Rosie O'Donnell Speculates On Oprah Winfrey's Sexuality - Infuriates The Talk Show Queen

NEW YORK, NY., Nov.7 (TOTI) --

Rosie O'Donnell has always been known for being outspoken, but as she launched her new satellite radio show Rosie crossed hairs with formidable TV talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, after speculating once again that she's gay.

O'Donnell buried her beef with Howard Stern and the two shock jocks openly discussed Oprah's relationship with Gayle King, her BFF of forever.

The National Enquirer reports that O'Donell told Stern, "I don't know that she and Gayle are necessarily doing each other, but I think they are the emotional equivalent of.."

Stern finished the sentence for her, saying "..a gay couple."

Not one to let the conversation die off, Rosie quickly added, "When they did that road trip, that's as gay as it gets, and I don't mean it to be an insult, either. I'm just saying, listen, if you ask me, that's the couple."

Winfrey, 55, has never been married and has no children with her longtime partner Stedman Graham.

The talk show queen was livid when she heard the news about Rosie's commentary. A source told the tabloid, "Oprah exploded when she heard Rosie was again talking trash about her and Gayle."

The source continued, "Oprah has gone out of her way to say repeatedly that they are just good friends and are not gay."

Oprah supports a number of causes, including the gay community, but that doesn't mean that she's involved in the lifestyle on a personal level. The source dished, "Oprah said if she were gay, she would say
so."

Rosie Radio, a two hour program, airs on Sirius satellite radio channel 102 from 10 AM -12 noon EST if you'd like to hear more of her conspiracy theories and commentary.

Do you think that Oprah's sexuality is any of Rosie's business?

Nicole Forrester, Josh Duhamel, Fergie Scandal - Details Emerge

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 6 (TOTI) --

Josh Duhamel and his wife Fergie both deny a tryst between Duhamel and Atlanta exotic entertainer Nicole Forrester, but that hasn't prevented the 34 year old dancer from revealing more details about what she says transpired between her and Josh.

Forrester released the information through her attorney, according to the National Enquirer.

She claims that Duhamel and her spent an evening together at the St. Regis Hotel. Once there, they initially watched an adult video. Then, they had "had lots of sex".

Fergie and Duhamel both say it never happened.

"They fell asleep together, and he kept waking her up to have MORE sex," said her attorney.

The lawyer was careful to not say that his client was paid for the encounter, although Forrester was given $100 for a cab ride home. Apparently she lived quite far from the hotel.

Matthew McConaughey Laughs In The Face Of Forty

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 6 (TOTI) --

The reputation that most actors have is being narcissistic. Not only that, but they are said to fear ageing more than anything else. Matthew McConaughey must not be your typical actor, then, because he laughed in the face of his recent 40th birthday.

"The 30s were good to me, and I'm really looking forward to my 40s, 'cause I'm a late bloomer," Matt posted on his MySpace blog. "Got everything I need for a perfect 40th. a happy and healthy lady, son, and another baby on the way."

McConaughey is romantically involved with 24 year old Brazilian model Camila Alves.

Together they have a son, Levi, with another baby on the way.

Angelina Jolie Has Hot Body, Brad Pitt Grows Weird Beard

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 6 (TOTI) --

Angelina Jolie has kept her body pretty much under wraps since giving birth to twins Vivienne and Know a scant 16 months ago. Now, photos and video trailers that are circulating around her new movie Salt show that the mother of six is still a sexy dish who is in great shape.

Brad Pitt, on the other hand, is struggling to hang on to his hunky image. The 46-year old actor, who has long been considered one of the 'Sexiest Men Alive,' has seemingly been struggling a bit more with his looks. Reports lately have claimed he has been drinking a bit more than usual and looks disheveled. Worse, recently he's sported a strange beard that, frankly, looks like crap.

Not only does the beard look weird on Pitt, the man has gone to braiding it! It is rumored that the current beard style of Pitt is called 'El Diablo' in fashion circles, because it so closely resembles the Devil's pitchfork.

So far there's no word on whether Jolie approves of Pitt's new facial hair. But if she keeps on looking as good as she does and Pitt keeps on resembling a homeless Rastafarian, one might begin to wonder about their future.

Can Brangelina survive this new disparity in beauty?

Kristen Stewart Loses Her Cool Over Speculations About Robert Pattinson

LOS ANGELES, Ca., Nov.6 (TOTI) --

Kristen Stewart has had enough of the speculation about her personal life and whether or not Robert Pattinson is her leading man.

So much so that she's lashed out at those that helped build her fame as Bella Swan, the leading lady in the Twilight series. National Enquirer
reports that recent questions about her love life spurred a few not-so-nice responses from the New Moon actress.

New Moon Official Trailer

"There's no answer that's not going to tip you one way or the other." Stewart said, "Think about every hypothetical situation: 'Ok, we are. We aren't. I'm a lesbian.' I'm just trying to keep something."

"If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor (Lautner), I'd be like, 'F**k off!' I would answer the exact same way."

"I know that people are really funny about, 'Well, you chose to be an actor, why don't you just f**king give your whole life away?'"

Since her relationship with Pattinson has never been confirmed or denied, she hasn't given her entire life away, it seems. And with the release of
New Moon approaching on November 20, it's sad that she isn't more gracious with what's really going on.. even if it's just a tidbit.

What do you think of Kristen's responses? Do you think Kristen should be more open about her personal life?

Jon And Kate Gosselin Firm Up Thanksgiving Plans

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 5 (TOTI) --

Jon Gosselin and STB-ex wife Kate Gosselin are going in different directions for Thanksgiving this year. Kate will celebrate the day with the couple's children, while Jon Gosselin spends the day with his girlfriend Hailey Glassman.

Hailey Glassman confirmed the plans during an interview which will air tonight on Entertainment Tonight.

"My family and I would never let him eat Thanksgiving dinner alone in an apartment," Hailey said. "He's coming to our house for Thanksgiving. I don't care."

Her revelation, which occurred while she was being interviewed with Gosselin, seemed to cause a slight bit of controversy between her and her new man.

"I still planned on going to her house on Thanksgiving; that was on my schedule," he says.

Glassman let Gosselin have it.

"On your schedule? What do you mean, 'On my schedule?'" she asked. "Let's see, Kate has the kids, and she's having a nice huge meal with Steve and his family. Uh, let's see, should I go to Hailey's or should I sit in my apartment all alone?"

Jon and Kate Gosselin are currently going through a divorce that has resulted in the temporary cancellation of their TLC reality TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8.

Chris Brown And Rihanna Both To Appear On TV

NEW YORK CITY, NY., Nov. 5 (TOTI) --

Chris Brown and Rihanna will both be on television today, detailing their versions of what's happened since Brown beat Rihanna on the night of the Grammy Awards.

Rihanna will be appearing on 20/20 where she talks about the incident. She relates that if it could happen to her, it could happen to anybody.

Brown, for his part, will appear on MTV, where he's expected to take responsibility for his actions.

"My thoughts is like, 'Why did it happen?', like 'What was I thinking?', 'What is wrong with you?'" Brown said.

Rihanna has remained extremely popular ever since the assault, but Brown hasn't been so lucky. His popularity has declined precipitously, and it is hoped that his new Fan Appreciation tour will help to win people back to his side.

Music industry insiders are not completely optimistic that Brown will do well on this tour.

"Chris lost a lot of fans after he assaulted Rihanna. And after that whole scandal, he's not exactly kid-friendly. What parent would buy their children tickets to his concert?" an industry insider told the New York Daily News.

Brad Pitt Motorcycle Mayhem - Angelina Jolie Ire Avoided

TOKYO, JAPAN, Nov. 4 (TOTI) --

Brad Pitt may have had a crash recently on his motorcycle, but that doesn't mean the 46-year old actor is ready to quit riding the two-wheelers just yet.

"I had a little mishap," he told reporters in Tokyo, where he is promoting his recent film Inglorious Basterds. "No injuries, except my ego. I was trying to get away from some paparazzi and instead gave them a good story. It was my favorite bike, so that is really sad."

The accident occurred in L.A. On October 24. The first thing Pitt worried about at the time was the reaction of his lover Angelina Jolie, said a witness who overheard Pitt after he sought refuge in a local building.

"He told the building manager that Angie was going to kill him because she thinks motorcycles are too dangerous," Talia Schwartz, who lives in the building, told Life & Style.

Apparently Brad Pitt isn't completely afraid of Jolie just yet.

"I will definitely be looking at motorcycles," he told Tokyo reporters. "You've got some of the best builders right here."

It looks like Brad Pitt is still his own man.

For now.
