Cassie Murdoch — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:00:00 EST

Mark Wahlberg has found himself in an mess of his own making. In an interview with Men's Journal, he spoke about how he was supposed to have been on one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on 9/11. Apparently he thinks that action stars have the same powers in real life as their characters do in the movies, because he made a pretty outrageous claim about how he'd have handled the hijacking.

Whitney Jefferson — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:50:00 EST

Leo Dumps Blake Lively For Being Too Into Blake Lively

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 09:00:00 EDT

Blake Lively's been dumped, you guys. After they were seen yacht-hopping and jet-setting and canoodling all over Europe, Leonardo di Caprio has given Blake the heave-ho. Apparently Leo's mom didn't like Blake. When they met, Blake was nervous, so she talked a lot, and Leo's German-born mother Irmelin did not like that one bit. She told Leo that the girl was full of herself and all she had to contribute to the discussion was stuff about Gossip Girl and being a Chanel model. So Leo bid Blake auf Wiedersehen and Blake is now "a total mess," according to unnamed sources and a UK celeb rag we know nothing about. [Now] More »

Lady Gaga Warns You: Cocaine Is The Devil

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:00:00 EDT

Latex is okay, booze is fine, preposterous platforms? Hell yes. But don't do coke, Lady Gaga chides. She was on Howard Stern's show yesterday, and said: "To any little sweethearts that are listening - don't touch cocaine, it's the devil." She explained her coke snorting days thusly: "I think that I was lonely and there was something about the drug that made me feel like I had a friend. And I regret every line that I ever did. Whatever my vagina whispers to me, I say yes - inspiration, it doesn't come all the time." Gaga also talked about the process of writing "Edge Of Glory" on the day her grandfather died: She said to her father, "Grandpa's about to cross over into his glorious moment. It's hard now because he's on the edge." And: "When my grandma was saying goodbye [to my grandfather], there was something so intense that happened for me that I saw ... as sad as the moment was, they both were acknowledging that they had really won in life because they had each other."

Uh-oh. Did Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony break up because Jen was getting on the floor with William Levy, the hired abs from her "I'm into You" video? Levy — a telenovela star — separated from his wife in May. Now, just because Jenny slithered all over him in front on the cameras doesn't mean the sexytimes continued later on. But. Apparently the 30-year-old Cuban cheated on his wife with over 40 women, so JLo could have been one of them. That's just how mathematical possibilities work. [Bossip] More »
