Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, And Jennfer Aniston Love Triangle Revisited

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 17 (TOTI) --

Jennifer Aniston has been pretty mild in her criticism about Angelina Jolie, the woman who caused her divorce with Brad Pitt. Indeed, Aniston has barely mentioned Jolie, except for calling her 'uncool' during an interview with Vogue.

Does that mean that Jen Aniston forgives Angie? Not really. According to a new report from US Weekly, Aniston has given permission to her friends to trash Jolie in a new tell-all book by Andrew Morton.

"When Jen was approached by the researchers, she realized that these books might finally reveal the truth to the public," a friend of the actress said. "So she has given her blessing to former assistants and staffers to tell the real story of what happened behind the scenes. Jen wants the world to know what Angelina is really all about."

According to the insider, if the details from Aniston's friend's emerge, it will hurt the good girl image that Angelina Jolie has been working so hard to promote. According to the insider, Angelina was completely calculating as she stole Brad Pitt from Aniston during the filming of Mr. And Mrs Smith.

"Angelina wanted to plant a seed of doubt in Jen's mind that something was going on with her and Brad," said the insider. "Jen and Brad would fight about it, then Brad would seek comfort from Angelina."

Morton drops some other bombshells in his book. He says that Jolie and Pitt started sleeping together after only a few weeks of filming. He also says that contrary to popular opinion Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were desperately trying to have a baby when his relationship with Jolie took off.

"Rather than support her through the pain of having fertility problems, Angelina encouraged Brad to use it against her," said the friend.

Citing even more anecdotal evidence, the book levels even more shocking charges against Jolie and Pitt.

"Angelina never respected Jen's marriage to Brad," the friend explained. "Parts of the book may portray her as a villain."

Fergie Backing Josh Duhamel Over Nicole Forrester

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov 17 (TOTI) --

Famed musician Stacy 'Fergie' Ferguson is standing by her man, Josh Duhamel, despite allegations that the actor cheated on her with an Atlanta based stripper.

Nicole Forrester, the exotic dancer, claims that she and Duhamel had a one night stand while he was in Atlanta filming Life As We Know It. Duhamel and Fergie both deny the accusations and the two have been seen around town, acting as if nothing is bothering them.

The couple hung out on November 3 in Atlanta at Chops, a restaurant located next to the St. Regis hotel, the place where the alleged affair was supposed to have happened.

An insider told Life and Style that Fergie is turning a blind eye to the accusations.

"Josh has been caught with strippers and random women before," the insider said. "He says he's never slept with them - he just needs the attention, and Fergie's too focused on her career to give it to him."

The insider said there's one big difference this incident.

"The only difference is that this time it's public."

Despite what anyone might think, Fergie plans on standing by her man.

"She never mentions ending the marriage," the insider said. "There's been no talk of a breakup."

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Enjoying Peace In France

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 16 (TOTI) --

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are enjoying their time together at their rented $70 million Chateau Miraval estate, which is located near Aix-en-Provence, according to a new report in US Weekly.

"Angie was in the kitchen doing dishes while the kids were running outside," said an insider. "She could watch from the window."

Scenes like this are becoming more commonplace as Pitt and Jolie take some time off from their hectic schedules and spend more time with their children.

"They're enjoying a peaceful French life," said an insider.

That's not the only peace in Angelina Jolie's life these days. She's even come to terms with her father Jon Voight, and has buried the proverbial hatchet with him.

"We're in touch, but not regularly," said Voight. "We love each other, that's the most important thing."

Jolie is the one who reached out to her father.

"Angie made the initial contact. They met face-to-face in February and have been talking since. Brad has been supportive - a key factor in her reaching out."

The peace-making doesn't end there.

"[Jolie is also] reuniting with long-lost cousins, aunts, and uncles," the insider said. "There was a point when the whole family disintegrated, and it'll take time to build up again. But it's all positive and healthy. She wants her children to be surrounded by family and loved ones."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have even become regulars around town, going on dates to their favorite local eatery Hostelliere de L'Abbaye de La Celle.

"She was laughing and touching his hand," said a witness who saw the couple there recently. "They looked so in love."

Nick Hogan Reflects On Jail Time

LOS ANGELES, Ca., Nov.16 (TOTI) --

Nick Hogan, Hulk Hogan's son and Brooke Hogan's younger brother, recently reflected on his time in jail.

Nick, 19, spent nearly six months in Florida's Pinellas County jail for causing a car accident on August 26, 2007 that left his friend, John Graziano, critically injured. Graziano requires around the clock care for the rest of his life as a result of the collision.

Nick told Life & Style, "Time away from my family was the most difficult part of my sentence. One of the things that makes you feel comforted is talking to a family member. But you don't have a phone - you have to wait until it's your time of the day to call."

He continued, "You miss being able to connect with people because everyone there is just cold, just brutal."

Nick admitted, "Jail was definitely one of the worst experiences of my life, but it was also one of the best things that ever happened to
me - just because of how much it changed me."

Nick Hogan was released from jail on October 21, 2009 and is currently residing in Los Angeles.

Kellan Lutz Is New Moon's Humble Hunk

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 16 (TOTI) --

Kellan Lutz isn't as well known as the other lead actors in New Moon, but that could all change when the movie comes out in a few days. One thing seems certain, Lutz doesn't appear ready to let fame to go to his head.

Kellan Lutz dates AnnaLynne McCord, of 90210 fame, and will be returning as vampire Emmit in New Moon.

He recently answered a few questions for US!.

When asked who grew close to during filming, Lutz singled out KStew.

"Mostly, I was with Kristen Stewart. We were reading the same book, Letters from Earth, by Mark Twain. It was fun talking about it and just hanging out."

When asked about Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, Lutz showed sympathy for RPattz.

"Rob has a hard time. He has grandmothers chasing him and throwing their walkers! And girls loves Taylor's whole boyishness. Then there's me, the teddy bear. I probably have the smallest demographic, but at least I have one."

For certain that demographic will be getting much larger in just a few short days as the latest installment in the Twilight saga is released.

Sandra Bullock Battles Janine Lindemulder

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 16 (TOTI) --

Sandra Bullock and former adult entertainer Janine Lindemulder are engaged in a custody battle over 5 year old Sunny. Sunny is the offspring of Bullock's husband of the last four years, Jesse James and Lindemulder.

Lindemulder lost custody of Sunny in March, when she was sentenced to jail for tax evasion. When she was released on July 13, she began visiting with Sunny again. Jesse James has now requested full custody of Sunny.

The reason James is pushing for custody is because he says there has been a violation of a court order that prevents Sunny from having any contact with Lindemulder's new husband, who is a convicted felon.

On October 29, James petitioned to cut off Lindemulder's visits. Both James and Bullock claim they're concerned with leaving Sunny with Lindemulder because of her problems with drugs.

"If there's a question about drugs, test me!" Lindemulder told US!. She says she's been clean for two years.

A hearing is scheduled for December 4 in the matter.

"If we sit down without our dukes up, a lot could be accomplished," said Lindemulder.

Susan Boyle Makeover Rocks World

LONDON, England, Nov. 16 (TOTI) --

When Susan Boyle finished so well on Britain's Got Talent, the singer was open to a lot of abuse from people who complained about her 'plain Jane' appearance. Now that Boyle is embarking on a recording career, she has set out to improve her image with a brand new makeover.

"I didn't know what I looked like on television until I saw myself on Britain�s Got Talent," said Boyle. "I saw this wee wifey with the mad hairdo and the bushy eyebrows and said, 'Hmmm, not really telegenic.' So, I decided to spruce myself up a bit. When I look in the mirror now, I see this sophisticated lady. I'm still a bit like that wee wifey inside, but more refined in some ways. I think any woman would have done the same. Would you want to look like the Hairy Angel? I don't think so."

Susan Boyle has dropped the "Hairy Angel" look and has updated her clothes and hair, causing her to look much younger.

Boyle will be releasing her debut album I Dreamed a Dream on November 23.

Beyonce And Jay-Z Plan For Baby

NEW YORK CITY, NY., Nov. 16 (TOTI) --

Jay-Z and Beyonce are making plans to have a baby, according to comments Jay-Z recently made to Gotham magazine.

Jay-Z also said he'd make a great role model for any children that he and Beyonce will have.

"I don't dislike anything about myself," he said. "I know this sounds a bit arrogant, but I really accept what God has given me. I've got a short temper, but I work on controlling it. I can say inappropriate things because I believe them to be true and sometimes that can be hurtful to others. But I think in the long run it is more helpful."

For the most part, Jay-Z and Beyonce have been very quiet about any plans they have for the future. They only recently announced they were married, nearly a year after it happened.

Kourtney Kardashian Is Scared But Excited About Childbirth

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 16 (TOTI) --

Kourtney Kardashian is very excited about giving birth, but she also has a strong fear of the experience.

"[She is] terrified of childbirth. She has a fear of the unknown, so since she's never had a baby before, she's worried about labor pains," a friend of hers told In Touch.

Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick have taken Lamaze classes and are planning on a natural birth, but if the pain is too great, Kourtney is prepared to get a C-section.

"I think she's ready right now," sister Kim Kardashian said. "You know when you're in your last trimester and you're just ready? She feels good. I'm so shocked at how easy this pregnancy has been for her."

Kim, Khloe, and mother Kris all plan on being in the delivery room with Kourtney when the time comes.

"I don't know if that's too much," Khloe said. "She wants us to be there but we want to do what's best for her, the baby, and Scott. We all want to be there but there are so many of us! You gotta draw the line."

Despite her fears, Kourtney recently told a friend that the baby was the best thing to happen, and she and Disick are looking forward to being parents.

"When Kourtney found out she was pregnant, they reconciled," said the friend. "Kourtney and Scott have matured so much in the past few months. They're no longer interested in going to the hottest club - now they're interested in preparing for the baby."

Clint Eastwood Shocks Fans

LONDON, England, Nov. 13 (TOTI) --

Fans of Clint Eastwood were shocked by the appearance of the legendary Hollywood actor and director on the set of his new movie Hereafter, which is filming in London, according to a new report in Globe.

"Clint isn't my sexy hero anymore," said Gener Walker. "He's a frail and tired-looking relic of his former self."

Of course the 79 year old is showing his age compared to many of his earlier works. Still, observers expressed shock at his gaunt and aged image.

"He looks like a man showing his age," said Jenny Stores.

Despite looking older, Clint Eastwood still works out on the set of the movie.

"It looks like he tries to prove he's still fit but he seems to have rings under his eyes," said an extra. "To me he looks gaunt and ancient. Earlier I saw him munching a banana and figured he must be on some kind of fruit and energy diet."

It's worth pointing out that Clint Eastwood looks better than many of his contemporaries, who are now dead.

Andre Agassi Turned To Drugs Over Impending Wedding To Brooke Shields

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 13 (TOTI) --

In his new autobiography, Open: An Autobiography, tennis champion Andre Agassi exposes some dark secrets, including a stint as a crystal meth abuser.

Despite having it all, the Las Vegas native embarked on a journey into drug addiction when his impending marriage to Brooke Shields became more than he could cope with.

Agassi was torn up by jealousy when Brooke Shields filmed a Friends episode in 1997. She did a suggestive scene and it caused Agassi to worry about their upcoming marriage.

At this time, a friend of his named Slim introduced him to the destructive drug. For Agassi, it was like finding a new lover.

"I snort some. There is a moment of regret...then comes a tidal wave of euphoria," he wrote. "I've never felt so alive, so hopeful - and above all, I've never felt such energy."

Andre Agassi and Brooke Shields didn't stay together long. They were divorced by 1999.

"At first, Brooke and Andre seemed to have so much in common, but they were really from different walks of life," a friend told Globe. "She always wanted to be out meeting people while he'd rather stay home. It was a recipe for disaster."

Anna Nicole Smith Doctor Questions His Own Ethics

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 13 (TOTI) --

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who was Anna Nicole Smith's doctor, kept a diary concerning his dealings with his famous patient, according to a new report from Globe.

In one entry, he recounts kissing the glamorous star and wondering if it was ethical.

"I was making out with Anna, my patient, blurring the lines," he wrote. "I gave her Methodone, Valium..can she ruin me?"

Even more strange, the doctor claims he is homosexual.

The diary was read in court at a hearing in order to decide if Kapoor, Anna Nicole Smith's psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and her lawyer Howard K. Stern should stand trial for supplying her with prescription medication that resulted in her death in 2007.

The three caregivers are standing trial on 23 felony counts related to the case.

Ellyn Garafolo, the attorney for Dr. Kapoor, insists her client was not romantically interested in Anna Nicole Smith.

"It was an isolated incident," she said. "He realized it was conduct that should not be repeated."

Jennifer Aniston Abandons Dream Of Motherhood

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 12 (TOTI) --

Perhaps the only dream that Jennifer Aniston hasn't achieved in her illustrious life is the role of motherhood. Despite her allure, Aniston has never given birth. Now, according to a new report in Globe, the forty year old has finally decided to move on.

Even though Jen has dated plenty of eligible men, she never found "the man she wants to father her child," said a source.

She has considered adoption, like her good friend Sheryl Crow, but the insider says she has given up on the idea. She realized it wouldn't be fair to raise a child as a single mother who is so busy.

The friend said things will work out for Aniston in the end.

"But," the source said. "I can't help thinking that now that the pressure is off to find Mr. Right and become a mom, Jen's going to be swept off her feet by the man of her dreams when she least expects it - and she'll end up getting her own family after all."

Like many marriages forged on 'reality television', the union between former child star Corey Feldman and his wife Susie Sprague is ending in spectacular flame out. A new report from Globe indicates that the couple plans on fighting dirty during their divorce and that allegations from each party could result in this becoming 'Hollywood's nastiest divorce ever.'

"A lot of skeletons and kinky sex acts are about to be in public," said a source close to the couple.

Susie Sprague shocked her husband on October 22 when she filed for divorce citing the well-worn 'irreconcilable differences.'

"Susie says she was encouraged to engage in 'deviant sexual behavior' during the marriage," said another insider. He also said Feldman treated Sprague 'like a dog' during their marriage.

"Corey liked her to wear a dog collar and demeaning outfits," the source stated.

Now that the marriage has ended, the two are likely to take aim at each other with both barrels blazing. The insider indicated that their are plenty of hours of 'sex tapes' that could be brought forward.

"Corey is telling friends there are private sex tapes of Susie that he filmed," the insider stated. "You have to wonder if he's planning on holding those tapes over her head in the divorce."

This breakup stands to get much nastier as the weeks progress.

Although doing a bit better, 7 year old Blanket is also suffering from the separation.

"He is just a very sad, shy little boy," she said. "He cries - he really does cry. It's so painful for him. No one can bring his Daddy back and it hurts too much."

Paris, 11, the only daughter, is faring a bit better than her siblings.

"She's doing very well," La Toya said. "She thinks and talks about her father all the time."

Michael Jackson was 50 years old when he passed on.

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 12 (TOTI) --

American Idol favorite Adam Lambert dumped his boyfriend Drake LaBry on Halloween night, but denies it's because he's seeing anyone else.

Adam Lambert has shown the ability to keep his private life at least somewhat private. Even his mother Christy didn't know the status of his relationship with LaBry.

"I didn't know anything about it," she told Star when asked about the break up. "He didn't let on to anything at all the last time we spoke. I'd better give him a call to see how he's doing."

Adam Lambert told E! fans should focus on his new video for his single Time for Miracles, which will be released shortly.

"It's going to be pretty sexy," he said. "Get ready."

Larry King And Carrie Prejean Interview

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov.12 (TOTI) --

Carrie Prejean and Larry King had a very interesting interview recently.

The former Miss USA pageant contestant fell under intense scrutiny after answering that she didn't believe in gay marriage when asked about the topic
by gossip blogger, Perez Hilton, at the 2009 Miss USA pageant.

She placed as first runner up in competition, but was later dethroned and lost her good standing within the beauty pageant community. This sequence of events left a sore spot, and a lawsuit in the works for the beauty queen.

Apparently, Larry King's line of questions concerning the case was enough to infuriate Prejean, who chastised Larry King for being "inappropriate." At one point, she even removed her microphone in an effort to dodge King's questions.

For anyone out there who has wondering about all the tears Kate Gosselin has been laying down, a new report in Star indicates her recent crying jags are designed to manipulate the public.

According to Kate, she's been losing sleep ever since Jon Gosselin left her, and now she says she can barely handle the stress.

"I'm awake in the middle of the night thinking, 'Am I making the best decision?'"

Despite all her soul-searching about the end of her marriage to Jon, an insider says she's merely crying crocodile tears in order to try and hold on to some of the audience of Jon & Kate Plus 8.

"Crying on TV was part of the agreement," said an insider concerning her November 2 interview with Natalie Morales of NBC. "The whole thing was staged to make viewers feel sorry for Kate in order to drum up support for her new show Kate Plus 8.

Judging from some of the comments made online recently, it might be working.

For the rest of us it's hard to believe Kate Gosselin is feeling that much emotion about losing her man.

Levi Johnston Versus Sarah Palin

LOS ANGELES, CA., Nov. 12 (TOTI) --

At one point it looked like Sarah Palin and Levi Johnston might end up becoming family. Now it appears the two are headed for a courtroom.

Johnston says he plans on suing Sarah Palin because she has barred him from seeing his 10 month old son, Tripp, who he conceived with Palin's daughter Bristol.

"I'm up to the point where I can't see my kid again," Levi told Star. "I'm done. I'm sure we'll up in court."

Levi Johnston said he was seeing Tripp until very recently, when the battling between himself and Bristol Palin and her mother heated up.

"The route I chose was because they wouldn't let me see my kid," Levi said, concerning his recent battle with the Palins. He says that Palin has been "encouraging Bristol not to see him."

He said things have taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks.

"They started letting me see him and everything was fine. But everything got bad again. Bristol listens to her mom. Sarah says something, Bristol is going to follow. We're definitely going to court."
