Gossip / Rumors

Poor Lindsay Lohan: disaster seems to strike whenever shes' behind the wheel. It's a wonder the girl ever gets anywhere at all! It must be all those really tricky L.A. roads. Yeah, that's it!

Was it a pregnancy bump, or had Nicole merely decided to eat a sandwich? For weeks, rumors swirled about whether or not the skinny mini was pregnant -- or just eating again. Turns out Nicole -- always a trendsetter -- is going to be the first celebutante mommy in town.

First there was the quickie Jason Alexander wedding. Then came the decision to marry K-Fed and the ensuing divorce. Then there was the partying with Paris. The head-shaving debacle. The paparazzi umbrella-smashing incident. The panty-free partying pictures. The rehab. The post-rehab. The list goes on and on. When will it end?

For an oil heir with so much cash, how come Brandon Davis can't seem to figure out a way to stop sweating? Somebody get this guy a towel!

For months now, poor Matt has been wandering the world, playing his bongos and collecting sexy accolades sans shirt. Where-oh-where could Matty Boy's t-shirt have gone? And as long as he's looking so good, does anyone truly care if he ever finds it again?

These two boobs and Heidi's new boobs have managed to stretch their 15 minutes of fame to 20. What's even crazier is that oily, obnoxious and obviously conniving Pratt has actually convinced this girl to marry him. She must be the dumbest blonde around.

Is there a dearth of Victoria's Secrets and La Perlas in L.A.? No Agent Provocateurs around? That must be the reason why so many stars are caught panty-free these days. Or perhaps someone's panty-raiding the underwear drawers of Britney, Lindsay and the like. Mysterious!

Who knew members of the band Yes were still around? And who would ask lead singer Jon Anderson to perform at a music school fundraiser in San Francisco?

Anderson was asked to perform at the PG School of Rock Music and agreed. Now he's backed out of the gig due to "health reasons." TMZ heard that the reason was that Jon's spiritual advisor told him not to perform until 2008, allegedly causing him to pull out of the Yes Reunion Tour as well. His advisor needs to tell Jon that no one cares!

We checked with Anderson's rep, who tells us that Jon pulled out due to health reasons, citing a flu, and denied any of the "spiritual advisor" stuff, saying that the tour is still "in the works."

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting that the long-awaited "Sex and the City" movie is finally a go!

Speculation has been swirling for a while that the movie was hung up due to its dueling stars, but Ausiello reports that SJP, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis AND Kim Cattrall have all signed on the dotted line to do the film.

Shooting reportedly will start in September.

Thank God -- no more lonely Friday nights watching season six on DVD while drinking a bottle of wine by yourself.

TMZ has learned that the new Indiana Jones movie is heading to Hawaii. Cowabunga!

Cast and crew, including Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf and new cast members Jim Broadbent and Cate Blanchett are currently shooting scenes at Yale in New Haven, Conn. (No time for love, Dr. Jones!) Production of the fourth Indiana Jones film has been shrouded in secrecy, but TMZ has learned that the production is expected to shift to the garden island of Kauai within a few weeks ... then it's back to Hollywood to film scenes on the back lot at Paramount.

Paris Hilton said she wanted to change her image from party girl to charity worker, but reports from her recent Hawaiian getaway say that the socialite was up to the same old, same old. Page Six reports that Paris went clubbing at the Hyatt while in Hawaii, and swapped spit with a couple of the local boys. Even worse, a source said, "The paparazzi told us that Paris calls them herself." A lensman told the source, "We love her. She lets us know where she's going to be so we can take as many pictures as we want."

Paris' rep Elliot Mintz says that just ain't so. "The last thing she needs is more paparazzi coverage."

Elton John was not a happy camper after last Sunday's Concert for Diana. When Sir Elton's chauffeur-driven ride was stopped on his way to the concert's after-party, he flew into a wild rage. All cars were barred from within 50 yards for security reasons, but the "Tiny Dancer" singer didn't care. He chewed out the offending cop, and then some. "Get out of my f**king way," he screamed. "Don't you know who I am? I've been working all f**king day and I need to get to my f**king dressing room."

Reports say Elton was in an especially bad mood because he was forced to cut his finale performance short due to technical difficulties.

Pretty boy soccer star David Beckham isn't even playing for the L.A. Galaxy yet, but insiders are already saying that team members are sick of the circus-like atmosphere surrounding his arrival.

Between the rolled out red carpet and valet at the new VIP entrance at Home Depot Center, and the "posh" boxes that celebs like TomKat and JLo are expected to sit in -- the Galaxy has gone completely Hollywood.

BTW, if you're trying to get an uncensored peak at Beckham's family jewels, don't count on it. Rumor is Becks has a private changing area to keep cell phone snappers and prying eyes away, although Galaxy reps refused comment, saying only that "it's a private matter."

Britney Spears needs to stop doing wrecking her own hair! Oops!

After scalping herself alive back in February, TMZ has learned that Britney has now attempted to dye her ratty blonde mane herself on Saturday. Weave it alone, girl!

Well-placed sources tell us Brit's assistant rushed over to the Epitome Salon in Bel Air at around 6:00 PM, because the former pop star had spilled black dye all over her face. Toxic! We're told the salon staff saved the day and sent Britney's minder off with some much-needed dye remover. Tragedy avoided -- sort of!

If only the rest of Britney's life were as easily fixed!

A rep for Britney could not be reached.

Victoria Beckham did not like being called "picky, demanding, and rude," not to mention "full of herself" by Star magazine -- and now the mag's going to have to pony up a pretty penny to Posh to make up for it.

Star claimed back in April that the crew of "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" was complaining that Mrs. Beckham was "picky, demanding, and rude," "full of herself," and "not very nice." (Not very nice? What is this, third grade?). Good scoop -- except that it turns out, as Posh's lawyer explained, that filming on the show hadn't even started when the article was published.

Star's parent company -- Northern & Shell PLC -- apologized in a British High Court today and agreed to pay Beckham's legal costs and undisclosed but "substantial" damages, according to a report.

You can decide for yourself whether Posh is picky or not, when "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" airs on NBC on July 16.

TMZ has learned that along with blonde bombshells like Pam Anderson, Heather Locklear and Nicollette Sheridan, the 45-year-old '80s TV hunk once bumped uglies with Liza Minnelli! You heard correctly. Liza with a WHAT?!!

We're told by extremely well-placed sources that Baio and the 61-year-old re-assembled diva spent a night together years ago and made beautiful, er, music together. Charles in charge!

Who knew David Gest had Scott Baio's sloppy seconds?!

A few TMZ staffers took a ride yesterday on the Universal Studios Hollywood Tour where they passed an enormous Aztec temple set that tour guides said was being built for the upcoming flick "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets," but could it really be for the Indiana Jones sequel?

We called Jerry Bruckheimer Films, the production company for "National Treasure," and it turns out the Nic Cage pic is wrapping production next week outside of L.A., so clearly Universal needs to update their tour guides.

Our staffers thought the giant Aztec set could have something to do with the long awaited Indiana Jones sequel, and questioned the tour guides, who had no clue. Later, we contacted Universal Studios Production, which denied any link to Indiana Jones, saying, "We do not reveal the details of our shooting locations." Details about "Indy 4" have been under wraps for a while, but filming reportedly began this week.

As for the folks at Universal ... "Snakes, why did they have to be snakes?"

Mark P. -- or, as he's so affectionately known to some Aussie media, The Poo -- caused a stir a few years back when he had a reported dalliance with Paris Hilton, while he was still in a relationship of several years with Aussie pop star Delta Goodrem, who was suffering from cancer. Paris even reportedly showed pictures of The Poo to journos, telling them she was "head over heels" for the racquet-man. The Poo denied the hook-up with P.

Meanwhile, before that, Mark P. was reported to be playing a bit more than tongue tennis with fellow hot-but-not-so-hot-at-tennis star Anna Kournikova. The Poo's coach, Pat Cash, wrote in his autobiography that he had to beg his protege not to go out (and get in bed) with Anna K. on the eve of a big match.

Apparently, Richie Sambora doesn't have such a big problem with drugs or alcohol that it couldn't be cured by a simple week of detox and therapy! The rocker and the rest of Bon Jovi were performing on "Today" this morning when Matt Lauer asked Richie about his recent Lohanesque trip to treatment, with Sambora revealing, "I did detox." No biggie!

The band rocked the "Today" stage and gave middle-aged women all over America something to brighten their morning. Richie's stay at rehab, er detox, was so brief that most of these fans probably hadn't even heard the news, or that he's busted up with Denise Richards.

From rock group to support group -- and back in a flash!

Shar Jackson, K-Fed's baby mama numero uno, quelled rumors that she's preggers with another little K-Fed junior. Earlier this week her reps denied the story, and Jackson came out personally to deny the claims, too, with a little TMI. "There's absolutely no action going on in my uterus," she told reporters. "I'm no expert, but I hear you have to actually have sex," and that, she said, "hasn't been happening." Okaaaaaay.

A report burning up the net claims that superproducer Pharrell Williams is going to be a daddy with his "girlfriend of nearly 5 years," Vashtie Kola, who's pregnant with their kid.

But Pharrell tells TMZ that the news is "100% not true," and we're told by a source close to Williams that he hasn't even seen her in over a year.

TMZ cameras caught singer Luis Miguel at Mr. Chow on Wednesday, keeping his visit under wraps, literally!
