Gossip / Rumors

Lindsay Lohan's got a new man and let's just say Paris Hilton won't be happy.

We caught up with Lindsay at Dragonfly nightclub in Hollywood Sunday evening where several sources inside the club tell TMZ she was making out with Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos.

Though Lindsay went to great lengths not to be seen with the Greek shipping heir outside the nightclub -- hiding behind a sheet and telling photogs to "f*** off and die" -- the two were all smiles when spotted together earlier that night. Lohan and Niarchos were photographed looking very flirtatious while hanging out at the Chateau Marmont, Lindsay's home, before heading to a concert at Dragonfly.

You'd think Lindsay would take great delight in sticking it to Paris Hilton, who has been somewhat instrumental in creating Lindsay's now-famous nickname, "Firecrotch." TMZ's video of Brandon Davis on a "Firecrotch" rant, Paris right by his side, is now firmly embedded in pop culture.

TMZ was out in force Thursday and we caught up with one of our favorite celebrities, Star Jones. Star was doing some high-end shopping on Robertson Blvd. in Beverly Hills, stopping at Tory Burch and Sky to check out the new fashions.

Rumors have been swirling that Star's relationship with her husband Al Reynolds might be having issues, but our camera caught her sporting the enormous diamond wedding ring from Big Al. The paparazzi was sent into a frenzy when Star headed for her Chrysler to load up her shopping bags saying, "Let us women walk."

Before driving away, Jones tells photographers that they aren't shooting her from the "most attractive angle" to which they quickly respond "we'll crop it."

You tell 'em Star!

Leonardo DiCaprio and girlfriend Bar Refaeli enjoyed a vacation in Greece, getting cozy on the beach in Lagonissi, a town near Athens.

Though DiCaprio has been spotted out solo a lot recently and the two are rarely photographed together, Leo and the Israeli model have been dating for a couple months now and this jet-setting is a sure sign the relationship between the two is heating up.

Leo's ex, Victoria's Secret model Gisele Bundchen, is apparently having a hard time with DiCaprio's budding relationship however, telling the underwear company she'd quit if they ever use Refaeli in their campaigns. The company was rumored to be courting Refaeli for their "Pink" line but eventually went with Ashlee Simpson.

Beware the wrath of Bundchen!

Though keeping mum on plastic surgery rumors, Ashlee Simpson had no problem talking about the "curse" put on her by a Texas priest.

Reverend Harrington recently slammed both Ashlee and sister Jessica, saying the girls "breasts will sag and their faces will wither and they will be left with nothing but a hollow shell," adding they've become obsessed with money and don't represent Christian standards.

Ashlee's response -- "I just think that story is a bit crazy. You should watch what you say about other people's kids, especially if you're planning on having any of your own."

The brave reporter, interviewing Ashlee at her London rehearsals for her stint as Roxie Hart in 'Chicago', also dared to asked her about the recent rumors alleging her and sister Jessica have had plastic surgery. Simpson's response -- "I would rather keep this about 'Chicago.'"

Ashlee also dispelled rumors of competition between the starlet siblings -- "I don't have that because we're sisters, we gotta be there for each other" -- and adds the whole family will be in town for her premiere next Monday.

When asked, point blank, by Diane Sawyer whether he was going to come out in the interview, Aiken gave an odd shrieky cackle, then said that he wouldn't address the speculation. And, with some nervousness, he called the speculation into his sexuality "invasive" and "rude." Finally, when asked by Diane Sawyer if it was "misleading" for him to talk about liking women in interviews just after his run on "American Idol," Aiken responded by saying he was "naive."

Aiken also said that he isn't unduly curious about other celebrities' (or people's) lives -- except for the "whole Jen and Angelina" thing.

On Wednesday, Aiken spoke to "Good Morning America's" Diane Sawyer about how he suffered from panic attacks after appearing on "American Idol" in 2003. Clay believes the fact that he was bullied as a child, coupled with the death of his father, helped to exacerbate the problem.

Aiken admits to taking Paxil for the panic attacks, but isn't worried about getting addicted to the depression and anxiety medication. Clay also reveals he has no desire for therapy. "Everybody I know in LA goes to see somebody. And I don't want to do that."

While Clay will discuss the rampant rumors about his sexuality with Sawyer on Thursday, in an interview with People magazine, Aiken says "What do you say (to that question)? ... It's like when I was 8. I remember something would get broken in the house, and Mom and Dad would call me in and say, 'Did you do this?' Well, it didn't matter what I said. The only thing they would believe was yes. ... People are going to believe what they want."

While Clay may not be out, his new CD "A Thousand Different Ways" is.

When does season five of "24" come out on DVD?

Kristy, this is something everyone is sitting on the edge of their seats for. Plan to catch up on the action of "24" by getting your copy of the Emmy award-winning season on December 5. This release date comes as little surprise as the last two seasons have also come out on DVD during the first week of December. And just in time -- season six premieres Monday nights on FOX beginning January 2007.

After getting caught playing tonsil hockey with Travis Barker on Tuesday, Paris Hilton had some choice words about the ex-blink-182 bandmate last night.

On her way out of Hollywood nightclub Hyde, a photographer asked the heiress, "What's up with you and Travis Barker?" Paris' reply? "He's one of my dear friends," adding, "I'm single, he's my friend."

As TMZ reported earlier, Houston's publicist Nancy Seltzer confirms the Grammy award-winning singer will file for divorce from husband Bobby Brown. The couple has one child, Bobbi Kristina.

Bobby recently talked about asking out Whitney for the first time on "The Tyra Banks Show."

According to the TMZ source, there is in fact no romance between Brown and Steffans, and that outsiders are creating that illusion because of her past, in which she was known as "Supahead" by legions of R&B and hip-hop artists to whom she provided sexual services on the sets of their videos. She wrote a book about her experiences, "Confessions of a Video Vixen," which was a New York Times bestseller.

Steffans recently told the New York Daily News' Lloyd Grove that her relationship with Brown was "a really tricky situation" and called him her "dearest friend," but wouldn't admit to having a physical relationship. During the summer, at a concert Brown gave with fellow '80s artists Bell Biv Devoe and En Vogue at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, Steffans was backstage and in fact took Brown home in her car. Brown had told the audience that he and Whitney were on the rocks and that he needed a "tenderoni" to take home; it appears he found that "tenderoni" in the form of Steffans. Brown and Steffans' encounter that night was caught on tape by a show called "I Married A Baller" on the TV One network.

Ironically enough, Steffans told Grove back in August that she didn't want to "wreck any marriages" and that she was "a big fan" of Whitney's. "I want her to come back and sing her heart out," said Karrine of Whitney.

It doesn't seem like Heather Locklear is having trouble moving on from her reported split from David Spade. In fact, the blonde beauty was all smiles as she left Mastro's steakhouse in Beverly Hills Friday night, arm in arm with a new mystery man.

According to several media reports, Heather and David called it quits last week after a rumored six-month romance. However, a source tells People magazine, "Heather is still going through a lot with Denise (Richards) and Richie. It's just too soon for her to get serious. They are still friends. It's not ugly."

Update 5:53PM ET: The mystery man has been revealed to be realtor Bill Small of Aspen, Colo. Small specializes in selling high-end, exclusive residential properties. Bill is no dummy either. Heather's arm candy is a member of the United States Supreme Court Bar association and holds a Juris Doctorate degree from Seattle University School of Law as well as a BA from the University of Maine.

Is Heather in the market for a new house or a new relationship??

Dave Navarro hit the Hollywood scene this weekend with another hot young mystery woman by his side, the second beauty linked to the rocker since his recent split with Carmen Electra.

Navarro first rebounded from his highly publicized split with porn legend Jenna Jameson, but rumors of a secret break-up between the two swirled after several reports linked Jenna to Ultimate Fighting Champion Tito Ortiz.

Though rumors of a break-up have been swirling, Hilary Duff and Joel Madden still seem to be very much a couple.

After hitting up the Christian Dior shop together in Beverly Hills, the pop princess and the Good Charlotte frontman were spotted getting cozy on Rodeo Drive. Hugging and kissing for onlookers, Duff and Madden made relationship-on-the-rocks rumors appear to be just that, rumors.

As reports swirl that Denise Richards and Richie Sambora are engaged, TMZ has the real deal-- it just ain't true.

Richards, who filed for divorce from estranged hubby Charlie Sheen in March, and rocker boyfriend Sambora, who is divorcing Denise's BFF Heather Locklear, have NO wedding plans.
Richards' attorney Neal Hersh tells TMZ "There is no truth to any rumors that Denise and Richie are engaged. They are not."

TMZ's cameras were at Fashion Rocks on Thursday night when the two showed up hand in hand.

The power couple, who have have been dating for months, have been spotted together many times by paparazzi but this is this first time the duo has attended a public event as a couple.

Just months after former love birds Matt McConaughey and Penelope Cruz called it quits, the ex-Hollywood power couple may now be working on a comeback.

The movie stars were caught laughing it up and looking rather close during a romantic lunch at the Madeo Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. The two appeared to be holding hands as they exited the restaurant and Matt even opened Penelope's car door as she got into HIS car! So, could these two really be an item all over again?

REBOUND ROMANCE:
Nick: He started off with the mystery girl from Ohio, then there were a couple of outings with Kristin Cavallari, and it seems as though he's found a steady in steamy Vanessa Minnillo -- she even met the family recently.

Jessica: The cloud of rumor started over alleged homewrecker Johnny Knoxville, then moved onto funnyman Dane Cook, and, then, last week, singer-songwriter John Mayer.

ADVANTAGE: NICK. Things are not going your way in the love department when John Mayer calls you "desperate." As for Nick, moving on is always a good thing, especially when your facilitator is as hot as Vanessa is.
