Lauren Conrad's ex, Jason Wahler, continues to deny the existence of a L.C. sex tape: "I do not have a sex tape of Lauren Conrad and one does not exist...Spencer Pratt is lying again to get attention." Spencer lying to get attention? Imagine that! • People mag's "Worlds Most Beautiful People" issue hit newsstands today; Kate Hudson, Rumer Willis and the cast of Gossip Girl are all included. • The Tokyo Zoo's prize panda, Ling Ling, has passed away at age 22. RIP ya big lug. [Us, People, TMZ]

RIP "World's Most Beautiful People" issue.
Nuff said.
This is stupid and lame, but I'm really sad about Ling Ling. One of my favorite articles of clothing as a kid was a sweatshirt commemorating Ling Ling's birth.
rumer willis?! how much did demi pay for that one?
@funnyface: i'm really sad about ling ling too. i remember watching a documentary about her in school. :-(
Rumer Willis? Maybe this is bitchy, but what exactly about her is beautiful inside or out? Obviously I dont know her and maybe she is more incredible than I have seen, but as far as I know she spends her time at Kitson not doing anything noteworthy, and she's not someone that comes to mind when I think of as almost unreal in their physical beauty... so??
kate hudson? is this 2001 again? what about penelope or mariska or cate or beyonce or liv...
The only thought I've ever given to this sex tape thing: At one point, a sex tape and/or naked photos most likely existed. Or Lauren told Heidi that they were thinking of doing one or something, and whatever this mystery media was, no longer exists.
What? Reality stars beating a dead horse to stay in the gossip/"celebrity" news? Shocker!
Rumer Willis? RUMER WILLIS?? The people at PEOPLE must be either cruel or blind. Or cruelly blind.
Jessica Szohr from "Gossip Girl" and Rumer Willis are BFF? WTF?
Jason, why would Spencer lie? It's not like publicity = oxygen for him and Heidi or anything...
Interesting list so far. Wonder how much airbrushing went on there?
Ling Ling?! Noooooooo! Couldn't God have taken one of the "most beautiful people" instead?
R.I.P. R.I.P., Ling Ling.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: Seriously, how much longer are they going to drag this out? For as long as it keeps them famous I guess.
@LaFemme: You obviously didn't read the article. She like getting her nails done too. Beautiful AND deep.
Ummmm...So, exactly what are the conditions and requirements to get in the "Worlds Most Beautiful People" issue?
WTF is up with the sex tape shit this week?! There either is or there isn't one, and in both cases NO ONE cares! There is nothing shocking or tittilating about sex tapes anymore.
Guilty secret time: I looove Rumer Willis. She looks unconventional and badass.
RUMER WILLIS WTF? Living with pretty people does not actually make you pretty. Is this an Ashton prank? A little low, but it's a gem!
@LaFemme:
i'm not too concerned about what she looks like. i do not, however, find any beauty in either saying the phrase "don't you know who my parents/mom/dad are?" OR being quoted as saying that fame like yours is "a 24 hour job that takes dedication" when all you do is shop and party. sorry, not beautiful at all.
Either god does not love Spencer and Heidi, or he's dead- their prayers appear to be going unanswered.
I am going with the former.
@funnyface: @lermanzo: @LipstickLibrarian: [edition.cnn.com]
@teaserme: No kidding! That's when you know you've got a good publicist.
@LaFemme: nothing is beautiful inside or out. my friend once met her and said she was a megabitch, and very very not cute.
That's the annoying part about this sex tape thing. I mean, chances are, it exists. Why not just admit it because being a liar and ashamed of sex is worse than making a sex tape, I think. Are they worried about isolating their "fans"? Have they seen the assholes who watch The Hills (me)? We love sex tapes. It's the same with the Miley controversy--just admit you thought the picture was a good idea, and back up your decision.
I don't want to agree with Spencer on anything so I'll go with "not true".
As for People magazine, I'm not in it so we all know that list is flawed.
@avoncobra: Yeah, she's kind of wretched that way. I also have no love for her since she got a (poorly acted) guest spot on "Miss Guided." If only my (fictional) stepdad produced a TV show.
I never bought into that most beautiful people BS - 90% of the people are just People you see on TV that we magazines tell you are hot.
I see more attractive people on the T for fuck sakes
But I feel badly for Rumer because Perez is so mean to her so I dunno I am kind of happy for her. What the hell do i Know though.
@virtualcatlady (formerlycuteasabutton): :) Hubs sent me that yesterday. I was reduced to squealing about him "smooshing his little nosey!" Thanks for the pick me up. It's just what I needed in the wake of my Ling Ling bereavement.
I still don't understand the point of the most beautiful issue. Even for People it seems exceptionally pointless. Is it to make people feel ugly? Is it for us peasants to admire their beauty? What?
Besides, Steve Nash has never been in it. So it's completely useless.
@avoncobra: Yeah, I usually think of People's Most Beautiful list as a combination of people who are either ridiculously good looking "causing a scene in Hollywood" or people known for their volunteer work, or having oversome major setbacks in life. Not seeing Rumer on this.
@sarah.of.a.lesser.god: Yeah really. Kate Hudson is decent-looking but not someone I'd call "most beautiful."
LC's sex tape will probably be like Kim Kardashian's: lying back and making porno sounds while posing for the camera.
The Rumer Willis photo looks good as a black & white faraway shot.
Sarah Silverman? Though I like some of her stand-up, I'd say Amy Sedaris or Tina Fey is more beautiful.
The photo of Jason Taylor reminds me of Tyra's b&w shoots on ANTM.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: Here's my super secret evil theory: Everyone's telling the truth. LC really doesn't know she has a sex tape because Skeezy McPratt taped them through a window or something.
I don't think we'll ever know, talking about them keeps them all more famous than showing it.
Also, why don't they just take it a step further? Best breasts, best ass, etc. Go all the way, People. If you're gonna deem famous persons to be "the world's most beautiful," you might as well get really crass about it. It would have to be more interesting then reading about Faith Hill's moisturizer.
@virtualcatlady (formerlycuteasabutton): AWWW I could watch that video all day!
@Jessi Ramsey: People called me but I had to turn them suckas down. Again. I can't have my picture next to Kate Hudson or Rumer Willis.
@virtualcatlady (formerlycuteasabutton): OMG! That is the most adorable thing ever.
@Jessi Ramsey: Yes, I don't see any jezebelles listed so obviously the folks over at People don't know what they're talking about.
With a name like Pratt, he has to be irrelevant.
Who cares? A lot of people film themselves having sex, as long as they aren't marketing it as "Spencer's Dream - LC Goes Down" I don't understand what the problem is.
@virtualcatlady (formerlycuteasabutton): Who's been taking video of me at work!?
It can't be a true "Worlds Most Beautiful People" issue if it doesn't have any of the Jezebelles in it.
@tscheese: And apparently into fetish footwear.
I wish my parents would buy me a place on a meaningless list of alleged beautiful people. Of course, it doesn't matter that my mere inclusion invalidates the list.
And I hate Whorseface and McDouche. Just the mere mention of their names makes my blood pressure rise in fury. I want to kick their Chiclet veneers in.
I need to go home and play with my puppeh before I give myself a heart attack.
Oh, and why are there hardly any guys on the list? And Tony Parker does NOT count.
@Snowbunny: For real. It's not like any of them are denying they have sex or trying to appear all virginal. Who cares if there's video proof of said non-virgin-ness or not?
Jason Wahler needs to take a line from Bill Clinton:
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, is there a videotape of you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Conrad, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."
I'm about to commit a girl on girl crime here, but....RUMER WILLIS? Is Tori Spelling on the list too?
@DuncanDesign: They justify that with their "Sexiest Man Alive" issue.
@DuncanDesign: So I guess Cash Warren won't appease your rage?
Count me on the "WTF?!" train for the 'Most Beautiful' People issue. Sure there were some great choices - the always fabulous Julianne Moore, Mary J., and Salma Hayek, who in my book is the most beautiful person EVER - but Cash Warren? Really? I know he never would have made it had he not sperminated Jessica Alba, but seriously People, WTF?! (I won't even comment on Rumer Willis.) But whatevs, I've always hated the "Beautiful" issue anyway; I mean, who the hell anointed People magazine the arbiter of all that is beautiful, especially considering that they only choose celebrities who can pay for stylists and plastic surgeons to make them beautiful? (Although they usually manage to throw in a couple of token "normies" - so they don't seem too biased, I suppose?)
@lalaland13: Hell, why limit it to just EXTERNAL body parts? My duodenum is prettier than YOUR duodenum! I'm a Beautiful People too!
@GretchenWeiners: Yeah, I see Tori and Rumer as two of a kind.
~ Both traded their parents' last names for fame.
~ Both -- let's be kind -- are unconventional-looking
~ Both seem to absolutely relish posing in front of the cameras like they are stunning to look at -- like Heidi Klum stunning. (I'm not saying one shouldn't have pride in your own appearance, but both veer toward overcompensation.)
~ And both have no discernable talent to speak of.
You could call their personas ballsy or deluded. Take your pick.
Ha ha! When I first read the People Magazine line I read it as People's "Worst Most Beautiful People" issue. Which is funny since isn't it the worst that we even have this issue? It's pretty much like "pay lots of money for movies that suck but have pretty people in them!" Sometimes they'll throw in an environmentalist or something to try to look more legit, but I call bullshit every year.
But okay, that dude from the Miami Dolphins is pretty damn hot, and that picture is quite stunning. But aside from that I call bullshit *sigh realizing I'm just your average consumer*
The Ling Ling photo made me tear up.
Does anyone else think of Da Brat on that rap show on MTV saying, "Jason Whaller, you're not a baller! No wonder LC dumped your ass!" whenever you hear about him? Just me then?
@lalaland13: Steve Nash would never in a million years be in a most beautiful people issue. Yuck.
