John Edwards caught with alleged mistress and love child?

Posted: July 22nd, 2008, 5:53pm CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: Celebrity Affairs

Some potentially highly explosive stuff here! The National Enquirer reports that they caught former Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards sneaking into a Beverly Hills hotel at 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, July 22nd, so he could see his Santa Barbara based mistress and their love child!

Edwards was reportedly in Los Angeles on business to attended a press event with the city’s mayor about homelessness.

The Enquirer cites a months-long investigation to advance its claim that Edwards was visiting the woman he was having an affair and fathered a child with, while his wife was/ and is still battling cancer.

The Enquirer originally broke the story of Edwards’ love child scandal last year, when the mistress was still pregnant and John was still considered a strong candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Both parties denied the report and a close friend of Edwards’ came forward and said he was the father of the mistress’s baby. The Enquirer insists that Edwards was engineering a massive cover up of his infidelity.

Could this new story eliminate John Edwards’ from Barack Obama’s VP short list?
The inside story on what really happened with Christian Bale assault incident?

Posted: July 22nd, 2008, 3:44pm CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: Christian Bale

A commenter by the name of “Edna” posted a supposed “first hand” account on what really went down between Christian Bale and his mother and sister at London’s Dorchester hotel on Sunday. She proclaims:

My father works security at the hotel, and he said it was a mess. His mom and sister wanted the front desk worker to let them into his room to wait for him. When they were told no they started cussing and yelling. They sat in front of his door for an hour until he finally arrived.

His mom and sister are alcoholics and drug addicts, they showed up at his hotel uninvited and highly intoxicated. They were calling him big shot and that he needs to take care of his own. His mom was yelling that he would be nothing without her and he owed her. His sister was begging for money and when he was pushing her toward the door his mother came from behind and started hitting him on his head and kicking him. He managed to push them both out the door and his mom fell, they called the police and wanted him arrested. I believe that Chirstian [sic] is the victim here not his mom or sister.

Take this for what it’s worth considering the sketchy source but after doing a bit of research the story does sound plausible. Christian has already made a statement to the police and left the station without being charged. His rep released this statement:

“Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister,” the star’s lawyers said in the statement. “Mr. Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale.”

Even though we knew this day was coming soon it doesn’t make it easy to report. “Golden Girl” Estelle Getty has died this morning at her home in Los Angeles. She was 84. Estelle was surrounded by her family and friends when she went away. She suffered from Lewy Body Dementia for years. Best known for donning a granny wig and oversize glasses to play a character 20 years older than herself, Getty won an Emmy and Golden Globe for her wise-cracking Sicilian mother Sophia Petrillo role on “The Golden Girls.” Did you know that Estelle was actually one year younger then Bea Arthur and Betty White? R.I.P. Estelle!

Alec Baldwin gets a little angry with Diane Sawyer?

Tags: Alec BALDWIN

Alec Baldwin is currently promoting his divorce memoir, “A Promise to Ourselves,” and he turned down interviews with Larry King and others, because he only wanted to talk to Diane Sawyer. Diane agreed to the interview, but had to reschedule because her husband, Mike Nichols had heart surgery.

A source told Rush & Molloy that Alec flipped out, “Diane’s people couldn’t believe how angry Baldwin got. She was running back from the hospital!”

A friend of Alec’s came to his defense basically saying Alec’s anger was justifiable: “The interview was rescheduled at least four times. Then the air conditioning wasn’t working. Alec was a little annoyed, but not with Diane.” The air conditioning wasn’t working?!

Do you think Alec called her a “rude little pig and you have humiliated me for the last time?”
Christian Bale accused of assault against his mother?

Posted: July 22nd, 2008, 4:27am CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: Celebrity Legal Issues

This is stunning news, but Batman star Christian Bale has been apparently accused of assaulting his mother and sister. The actor’s mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, claim Bale lashed out at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday night July 20th, and they reportedly filed a police report in Hampshire, England on Monday (21Jul08).
Th authorities were reluctant to speak to Bale on Monday, because he was promoting his new movie, The Dark Knight, in London, for the first European screening . A source tells The UK Sun, “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth. A mother filed a report against their son and they have serious doubts?
“But Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of anything that happened.” A police spokesman says, “We can confirm we have received allegation from another force in relation to an alleged incident in central London.”

Police are expected to make attempts to question the Wales-born actor today. But one expects with the way authorities tip-toe around celebrities that this will likely all get swept under the rug quickly, unless Christian’s mom talks with the press. Interesting side note, Christian’s father who is now deceased divorced his mother (jenny) and married Gloria Steinem.

Update: Christian Bale has turned himself into police voluntarily in response to the domestic assault charge.He went to Belgravia police station in central London earlier today and is still there, being held in custody.

When asked if Bale had been arrested, a police spokesman said “A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody.”

His family is not talking, which is a good thing right now.
Balthazar Getty confirms the obvious (he’s split from wife)

Posted: July 22nd, 2008, 4:10am CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: Celebrity Scandels

Heir and actor Balthazar Getty has confirmed to People Magazine that he has split from his wife Rosetta, amid rumors he is having an affair with actress Sienna Miller, which first broke here on June 29th..
Balthazar appears on ABC’s Emmy Award-winning ‘Brothers & Sisters’, and is heir to the oil fortune of his great-grandfather Jean Paul, once one of the richest men in the world. He was recently photographed frolicking on a yacht off Italy’s Amalfi coast with a topless Miller earlier this month (Jul08), just days after he denied he was romantically involved with the Alfie star.
But Getty, who has four children with Rosetta, says the photographs have forced him to admit he and his wife are living apart.
In a statement released on Monday, he says, “The breakdown of a marriage is a very difficult and painful experience especially when children are involved.
“In light of the fact that many pictures have surfaced in print and on the Internet which has caused myself and my family great embarrassment, I felt it necessary to at least acknowledge publicly that, yes indeed my wife and I have separated and I will not be commenting any further.”
Eminem and Kid Rock challenged to square off in Detroit rap battle

Posted: July 22nd, 2008, 4:01am CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: Celebrity Gossip

Detroit, Michigan rap stars Eminem and Kid Rock have been challenged to a freestyle rap battle, which could pocket their chosen charities $1m.

The offer/publicity comes from the producers of new movie Rap Therapy, which chronicles one Detroit social worker’s efforts to use hip hop to help steer troubled teens away from gangbanging, drugs and violence. The documentary Rap Therapy features footage of 50 Cent, Diddy, Anne Hathaway, Fergie and Tom Cruise (interesting), talking about the benefits of hip-hop as a tool for kids involved in gang violence and abuse.

The rap challenge will officially be launched in Detroit on Tuesday.

Blake LeVine, the subject of the film Rap Therapy, says: “It will be a televised rap battle and the winner will pick up $1m (€630,000) for the charity of his choice.”
Peaches Geldof overdoses on drugs?

Posted: July 22nd, 2008, 3:30am CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: Celebrity Gossip

Sir Bob Geldof’s troubled daughter Peaches had a suspected drug overdose on Sunday. Ironically Peache’s mother, British TV presenter Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose in 2000 at the age of 41.
19-year-old Peaches was reportedly found lying unconscious in her north London flat by a friend who administered emergency CPR and called emergency services. Peaches apparently refused to go to hospital for a medical examination - because she was terrified her rocker father finding out about this new drug scare.
A source tells the UK Sun, “Peaches could not breathe for several minutes after suffering a respiratory arrest. “If she had not received this she could have died or she could have suffered brain damage. Peaches had gone into respiratory arrest, in which a patient’s breathing stops but heart doesn’t.” A spokesperson for London Ambulance confirms its crews attended the scene.
Earlier this year, Peaches hit the headlines after she was caught on tape reportedly buying drugs. She escaped police charges because of a lack of evidence.
Tom Cruise considering return for Top Gun II?

Tom Cruise is said to be in talks to reprise his role of Lt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Are they out of good ideas, or is it just slim picken’s for new scripts for Cruise? 22 years after the release of Top Gun, movie moguls are strongly considering, making a sequel to Top Gun and a script outline has been reportedly created. They are keen to resurrect the mega-successful 1986 movie, believing if Cruise agrees to reprise his role, Top Gun II would be a surefire box office hit. Yeah right. The original Top Gun launched Tom onto Hollywood’s A-list and earned $350 million worldwide.

An inside source says, “The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor - and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.”

Let’s hope Tom doesn’t demand they cast Katie Holmes as the cocky new pilot?

Cruise hasn’t had much success at the box office lately. After his last big hit War Of The Worlds in 2005, he followed with Mission Impossible III which performed below expectations and brought in less money than the first film. And his last film, Lions for Lambs , which was released last year was panned by audiences and critics alike.
Ebert and Roeper leaving ‘Ebert & Roeper Show’

Posted: July 21st, 2008, 3:39pm CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: tv Television

Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert says he’s leaving “At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper.” the television show that he and t made famous.

Richard Roeper has co-hosted the show with Ebert, since 2000 after Gene Siskel died of a brain tumor in 1999.

Siskel and Ebert originally began reviewing movies on television together in 1975 on Chicago public broadcasting’s WTTW, which eventually took their program national as “Sneak Previews.” The pair jumped to commercial television through the Tribune Co.’s TV syndication wing in 1982, switching to Disney in 1986, changing titles until the critics received top billing.

Roeper was chosen from among a large group of contenders to be the permanent replacement for Siskel after his death.

Ebert claims Disney-ABC Domestic Television had decided to take “At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper” “in a new direction” and he won’t be associated with it.

In a statement, Ebert said, “The show was a wonderful experience,” and added that he and Siskel’s widow, Marlene Iglitzen, retain the trademark to the phrase, “Two thumbs up.”

“The thumbs will return,” Ebert’s statement continued. “We are discussing possibilities, and plan to continue the show’s tradition.”

Ebert’s announcement came a day after Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper said he was leaving the nationally syndicated show.

Roeper said in a statement Sunday that he had failed to agree on a contract extension with Disney-ABC Domestic Television so his last appearance on the show will air the weekend of August 16-17.

“Several months ago, Disney offered to extend my contract, which expires at the conclusion of the 2007-08 season,” Roeper said. “I opted to wait. Much transpired after that behind the scenes, but an agreement was never reached, and we are all moving on.”

Roeper said he intends to “proceed elsewhere … as the co-host of a movie review show that honors the standards established by Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert more than 30 years ago.”

“I will be free to share the details on that program in the near future,” he said.

He also said he wishes Disney “the best of luck with their new show, whatever form it may take.”

Richard Ebert has been sidelined the last two years because of health issues that have robbed him of his voice.

Roeper said: “Over the last two seasons, as Roger has bravely coped with his medical issues, I’ve continued the show with a number of guest co-hosts.” “It’s never been the same without Roger, but I’m proud of the work we’ve done and I’m grateful to all the co-hosts who stepped in — and to the viewers that stayed loyal to the show.”

I am just speculating but reading between the lines I believe Disney wanted Roeper to continue the show without Ebert coming back. And Roeper being loyal to Ebert refused to do so, and Disney then decided to go on without them.

Brooke Hogan’s not into voting or thinking

Posted: July 21st, 2008, 3:12pm CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: reality tv

Last night on her new Reality TV show “Brooke Knows Best,” young Brooke Hogan interviewed potential roommates and one of them asked her who she was voting for in the presidential election. This might seem like a normal question to get to know someone but trying to make intelligent small talk with Hulk Hogan’s daughter is a bit of a different story. Brooke though gave her not so carefully considered answer as:

“You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it’s kinda crazy that a woman is running, because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I’m so moody all the time, I know I couldn’t be able to run a country, ‘cause I’d be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, ya know?”

Wow, earth to Brooke anybody home? A simple, “I’m not sure yet” might have worked better.

Jimmy Fallon will test ‘Late Night show’ online

Tags: tv Television

Jimmy Fallon will be taking over for Conan O’Brien on Late Night while ginger locks takes the late night primo spot from Jay Leno. On a side note, Leno said recently that he’s done with NBC next year, and networks and syndicators are poised to woo him when he’s free to open contract talks. The NBC suits announced today that Jay Leno’s last appearance on the Tonight Show is scheduled for May 29, 2009. Conan O’Brien will step in on June 1, 2009.

The producer of Late Night, Lorne Michaels (who also heads up Saturday Night Live), wants Jimmy to “to work out as many of the rough spots in his presentation” online before beginning his stint on the broadcast show.

The web performances will likely begin in the fall, long before the transition in ‘09.

The online videos probably won’t be anything like an entire hour-long show. Michaels knows that seasoning is important. He picked O’Brien out of obscurity to fill Letterman’s old slot at NBC, then stuck with him despite savage early reviews. He wants to make sure Fallon’s transition is less painful.

Michaels said, “I expect that we’ll do something like 5 or 10 minutes.”

He went on to say Jimmy most likely will be on every night, to try to establish the rhythm of a nightly show: “I’m going to post them at 12:30 every night, so people will begin to look for Jimmy at that time.”

Britney Spears’ new songs vent at those close to her

Tags: Britney Spears

Britney Spears has reportedly recorded seven songs on her next album, that vent at family and those close to her . In a song called “ATM” about all her family members, some of the lyrics suggest their is still some tension with her mom Lynne.

According to the Sunday UK Mirror, the lyrics for “AMT” go: “Hey Mama, I know it’s my cash you seek. You know they treat me like an ATM, but y’all know that I’m too good for ‘em.”

Brit not only targets her family, but apparently she wrote a song about Justin Timberlake called “Already Bad.” The lyrics go, “I know you thought you were the first, but I had already quenched my thirst, I was already bad.”

Sounds like Brit suggests/confirms she wasn’t a virgin (as rumored) when she hooked up with Justin.

An music industry insider said: “The songs are up tempo and there are some wicked heavy beats. She’s built on the foundations she laid in her last album, Blackout.

It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that Britney has a little rage in her heart for what she’s been through in the wake of her breakdown and recovery. Hopefully the song writing will be therapeutic for her and provide the outlet she needs.
New couple alert: Joss Stone and Nelly?

Soul singer Joss Stone, is reportedly dating rapper Nelly.

It’s good news for Joss, 21, who’s not had the best of luck with men. She was devastated when she split with longtime love Beau Dozier, son of legendary Motown songwriter - producer Lamont, in 2005. Joss, was more recently rumored to have offered more than just her voice to producer Mark Ronson, (which he later denied).

Joss who is a big supporter of gay causes such as LA Pride, had previously joked that she may become a lesbian because of the trouble she was having finding a man. Joss had said:

“Every girl my age wants to be in a relationship. I haven’t had one in two years. I think I’ll have to turn lesbian.”

But now apparently, ‘the man drought’ is finally over and she apparently has been on a number of dates with Nelly. A source said:

“Joss and Nelly have been out on a few dates together. It’s early days but we haven’t seen Joss this happy in quite a long time. It’s great she has met someone as successful as she is and who understands the pressures being a performer can put on your life.”

The source continued:

“And it helps that he is hot too - he is just her type.”

Well, he is in the music industry after all…

Blake Fielder Civil was sentenced to 27 months in jail today for assault and obstructing justice. Fielder-Civil has already served around nine months on remand. And if Blaaake behaves in prison he could be out in about 4 months.

Blake has admitted beating up pub manager James King in a barroom fight in 2006 and then offering him $400,000 to keep quiet about it.

Passing sentence at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Judge David Radford reportedly told Fielder-Civil he had behaved in a “gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful” way. Blake’s supposedly devoted wife, Amy Winehouse, missed today’s sentencing.

The 24-year-old singer and Fielder-Civil, 26, married in Miami in May 2007. He was arrested in November and has been in jail ever since. Is Blakes’ further incarceration the best thing that could happen to Amy (whether she knows it or not) or will it lead to a complete meltdown?

Sean Connery is so determined his only child Jason should learn to provide for himself, he refuses to include him in his will, according to the star’s ex-wife. Connery himself came from very humble beginnings growing up in a two-bedroom house with no bathroom and left school at 13 to push barrows for a little over £1 ($2) a week.

Diane Cilento, who was married to Connery for 11 years before they divorced in 1973, claims the former James Bond star’s relationship with his son became troubled after he cut him off financially, declaring Jason wouldn’t inherit any of his fortune. Jason now works as an actor and director. And crotchety Connery 77, doesn’t want his 45-year-old son benefiting from his name either allegedly telling him, ‘You only got this job (an acting role) because your name’s Connery. And Cilento claims Connery, got very angry with his son, when he responded by threatening to disown the family name.
“Jason said, ‘Well, I’ll change it to something else.’ Sean said, ‘If you do that I’ll f**king kill you.’ “ Connery’s ex-wife offered: “Jason loves him but Sean has a problem about relationships, as everybody round him knows.”

Tags: Celebrity Legal Issues

Rapper DMX was arrested again for the 6th time in almost 3 months. Maybe he just hasn’t found a mug shot he is satisfied with yet? That’s his new one on the right. He was reportedly collared this time at a mall in Phoenix yesterday for allegedly giving a fake name and Social Security number to a hospital in order to get out of paying medical bills.

DMX, real name Earl Simmons, used the name “Troy Jones” to try to allegedly get out of paying a $7,500 bill.

He was arrested and booked. Bond has not been set.

The sheriff of Maricopa County said, “He’s back in jail again. I don’t know why judges keep letting this guy out. Every time he goes in there, he gets out on bond. I’m hoping this is the one time he’s going to pay the penalty for his offense”

The sheriff also noted that if DMX should remain in jailed, he would be isolated from the rest of the inmates for his own safety. “They may not like his music,” he said.
