Gossip / Rumors

It's one of his most famously bizarre moments -- Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's couch ... on national TV -- but surprisingly, the big O doesn't think the outburst had ANY effect on his marriage.

Oprah was out in DC yesterday, when she was asked if Tom's infamous 2005 couch stunt damaged his relationship with Katie Holmes -- and she burst out laughing ... calling the mere notion "ridiculous."

In case you forgot, Tom had been dating Katie just over a month at the time ... and exploded on Oprah's show, explaining how head-over-heels he was about his new girl.

But here's the thing -- the incident is widely cited as evidence that Scientology had fundamentally changed Tom Cruise ... for the worse ... so it's not crazy to wonder if Katie saw red flags from the get go.

Tom Cruise did NOT settle his divorce with Katie Holmes because he feared she might spill secrets about the actor -- this according to Tom's lawyer.

Attorney Bert Fields scoffs at reports claiming Tom was fearful of what Katie might reveal, telling TMZ, "Tom had nothing to hide and did nothing in the agreement to hide anything. People are just making this stuff up."

As for the child custody arrangement, it appears Tom will indeed have the "significant" contact with Suri that we reported about last week. Fields said, "Tom will definitely have a meaningful relationship with his daughter, but I can't talk about specifics of the agreement."

Fields said Tom's primary concern in the settlement was Suri and added Tom was "pleased we could work out how Suri will be treated and dealt with."

Kris Humphries can breathe a sigh of relief -- his ex-girlfriend Myla Sinanaj insists she's NOT PREGNANT ... her belly's just naturally round.

Myla was out in Jersey earlier today, where a photog asked her straight -- are you pregnant or not? Myla responded, "I am definitely not pregnant."

What Myla DOESN'T explain is why she texted her lawyer Friday night that she WAS pregnant -- and why she told numerous other people, including Kris, that she was expecting.

Myla's latest version is that people just started talking and, "Of course, me not being a size zero kept it going."

Kris Humphries' ex-girlfriend Myla Sinanaj just tweeted this photo, writing, "Loook No Babyy bump!" ... which raises several important questions:

-- Is she pregnant, or isn't she?
-- Did she have an abortion?
-- Was she ever pregnant?
-- Did Kris ask her to tweet (She wants back with him)?
-- Why did she tell her lawyer, Joe Tacopina, she's pregnant?

Myla added, "Yes I'm a thick curvy girl ... All natural I'm comfortable in my skin."

So many questions ... so let's start with #1 ...

In an effort to prove all is well in their relationship, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez went out TOGETHER in L.A. last night ... and made sure the cameras caught them holding hands.

As TMZ reported, the relationship has been on the rocks ... with the two breaking up multiple times in the last few months.

But last night, it appeared things were back on ... when Biebs and Gomez hit up the Pink Pepper restaurant in Hollywood for a romantic dinner date.

When asked about the status of their relationship, Bieber told the photogs, "What does it look like?"

Sorry to rain on your naked Carly Rae Jepsen parade -- but the "Call Me Maybe" singer is NOT the chick with pierced nipples whose naked photos surfaced on the Internet today.

A rep for Carly tells TMZ, “This is 200% NOT Carly" in the photos.

As for anyone claiming it is -- the rep says Carly's record label is currently handling any potential cease-and-desist cases.

FYI -- the actual girl in the photos is some 21-year-old Internet model named Destiny Benedict who gets naked ... a lot.

Divorces, violence, and even a racial controversy -- it seems the "Rock of Ages" cast has been smothered in bad fortune from the moment the project began. It's almost like ... THEY'RE CURSED!

Think about it ...

Tom Cruise -- "Blindsided" with divorce papers from Katie Holmes ... who filed in New York instead of California because she's gunning for sole legal custody of their daughter.

Russell Brand -- Marriage to Katy Perry goes belly up after production begins on "Rock" ... later investigated by police in New Orleans for smashing an iPhone belonging to a paparazzo.

Mary J. Blige -- Engulfed in racial controversy back in April ... after she was featured singing about fried chicken in a Burger King commercial. Mary's charity's went broke and was sued after failing to pay back a $250k loan.

Alec Baldwin -- Kicked off a flight in Dec. after screaming at a flight attendant who asked him to stop playing "Words with Friends." Later went to cops to report an alleged stalker. Investigated by the NYPD after allegedly attacking a photog.

Julianne Hough -- We can't think of anything ... yet ... but don't say we didn't warn you.

Sources connected with the negotiations between Lamar Odom and the L.A. Clippers tell TMZ ... Kris Jenner had nothing to do with the deal.

There are reports Kris created the master plan to get Lamar back on an L.A. team, but our sources say Lamar's agent, Jeff Schwartz, propelled the negotiations.

Lamar could be traded to the Clippers as early as today, but there are several pieces to the puzzle that have to fall into place for that to happen.

Charlie Sheen's tiger blood is boiling over bogus reports he trashed his hotel room during a drug-fueled meltdown in NYC ... and now TMZ has learned he's intending to sue over the story.

Sources close to Charlie tell us ... Sheen believes someone should pay for spreading such terrible lies about him ... and he's already rounding up his legal team to figure out his plan of attack.

Sheen appeared on "TMZ Live" Wednesday ... and said he had been spending so much time promoting his new show "Anger Management" ... he had no time to rage with drugs, booze and hookers ... even if he was so inclined.

He was also adamant ... a second story from the same mag claiming he "flipped out" on his daughters and bailed on the premiere for Denise Richards' new movie is also bogus to the core.

Charlie Sheen tells TMZ ... he did NOT throw a room-destroying rager inside the Ritz-Carlton in NYC this weekend ... he didn't even drink alcohol -- calling the partying rumors total "malarkey."

Charlie called in to "TMZ Live" moments ago to dispel the rumors once and for all -- claiming they're "so silly, without any merit or any foundational anything that resembles reality."

Charlie says he had no time in his schedule for anything other than press appearances this weekend -- promoting his new show "Anger Management" -- and he DEFINITELY didn't have time for alcohol-fueled benders. Charlie says the alcohol on his hotel bill wasn't even for him.

As for the new report Charlie "flipped out" on his daughters and bailed on the premiere for Denise Richard's new movie -- Charlie says that's not true either.

According to Charlie, he bailed on the premiere because his daughters didn't want to walk the red carpet -- and the last thing Charlie wanted was to appear in photos alone with Denise, who divorced him in 2006.

Charlie Sheen looked like the same ol' Charlie Sheen as he left the Ritz-Carlton in NYC Tuesday ... and his hotel bill does not support a report that Charlie threw a raging party in his room.

According to the hotel bill -- obtained by TMZ -- Charlie (who checked in under the alias Mr. Chuck Clark) ate breakfast, lunch and dinner in the hotel -- most of the time in his room. FYI, usually people high on coke don't eat 3 meals a day.

As for alcohol ... there's no evidence that he ordered booze on June 22, 23, 24 or 25. On the 26th, Charlie ordered 5 different cocktails -- which makes it seem like it was not all for him -- plus a bottle of Krug wine. By the way, it's highly unlikely hookers drink Macallan 12 scotch or Remy Martin XO.

There are also charges for laundry and in-house pressing. Makes sense, because Charlie was in NYC for interviews about his upcoming show, "Anger Management."

Charlie tells TMZ ... on the 26th he had dinner in his room with "friends" and there were no drugs. As for drinking, he said, "Everybody drinks."

5:09 PM PT -- A Ritz employee who supervises the suites in the hotel tells TMZ ... "Charlie was here for 3 days. He looked so good. He was clean and sober and very friendly, and he left yesterday and his room was clean."

4:53 PM PT -- A rep for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company is backing Charlie's story ... telling TMZ, "The hotel room was in pristine condition on Friday, June 22 and remains so today Tuesday, June 26."

The rep adds, "Should Mr. Sheen wish to book a room in any Ritz-Carlton hotel in the portfolio, we would be delighted to host his stay."

4:38 PM PT -- TMZ spoke with someone who works in the hotel who would know if there was damage to a room ... and he said no one in the hotel had a destructive meltdown that night.

We also spoke with someone in the room next door to Charlie who tells us nothing happened ... no noise, no hookers, no incident.

Charlie Sheen is adamant ... he is not BANNED from the Ritz-Carlton in NYC and did not trash the living hell out of his hotel room ... despite reports to the contrary.

Larry Solters, who reps Sheen, tells TMZ ... the "Anger Management" star was merely having dinner with family and friends at the hotel ... and was absolutely NOT participating in a drug and hooker party in his room.

According to reports, Sheen was asked to leave the property and never return to another Ritz -- but Sheen's people tell us ... the whole story is complete BS.

We shot Charlie walking out of the hotel yesterday, and everything seemed fine -- he even posed with a fan.

Sheen's rep says, "If you want to call 'dinner with family and friends' a party, so be it."

Mila Kunis insists they're just friends ... but last night in L.A., the actress hit up a romantic Italian restaurant with her former "That 70s Show" co-star Ashton Kutcher -- and they even left in the same car.

The two have been rumored to be secretly dating for months -- but Mila adamantly denies they're anything more than platonic pals ... who eat out together alone ... and go on romantic weekend trips to quaint little towns.

It's extremely suspicious ... so we gotta ask ...

Kris Humphries told his ex, Myla Sinanaj ... he KNEW Kim Kardashian hooked up with Kanye West because he was mysteriously absent from the big wedding ... sources close to Myla tell TMZ.

We're told Kris groused to Myla about how Kris Jenner suspiciously referred to Kanye as "a close family friend" -- someone Kim knew for a long time. Kris H told Myla, "If he was such a close family friend, why wasn't he invited to the wedding?"

We're told Kris confided in Myla he "felt played" by the whole thing and was genuinely devastated when news of Kim's new relationship broke.

Kris Humphries invented the story about Kris Jenner masterminding Kim Kardashian's sex tape in order to live out a "disgusting" fantasy -- this according to Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian.

Khloe was out in New York today when we asked her about the TMZ story -- that Humphries told his ex-girlfriend that Kris Jenner directed Kim to make her infamous sex tape ... and even had Kim re-shoot it because the first take wasn't pretty enough.

Khloe responded, "That is just disgusting and disturbing, and probably HIS fantasy!"

It's a shocking statement coming from the woman who defended Humphries just days ago -- calling him "a good guy" unfairly caught up in a cruel extortion plot.

Kris Humphries trashed Kim Kardashian and her family in conversations and text messages to his former girlfriend, Myla Sinanaj ... telling her Kris Jenner not only directed Kim to shoot her sex tape, but to re-shoot because Kris J didn't think the first one was pretty enough.

As TMZ first reported, Kim has subpoenaed Myla in Kim's divorce case, and we've learned Myla has a lot to say about what Kris told her about his relationship with his famous estranged wife.

In addition to the sex tape, sources tell us Myla has numerous text messages in which Kris says she is the love of his life and he wants to get the divorce over with quickly so they can spend the rest of their time on earth together. In several of the messages, we're told Kris says specifically that he's "moved on" from Kim.

The information is extremely damaging to Kris, because he's alleging in his divorce that Kim has destroyed him emotionally by allegedly defrauding him into believing it was a real marriage. Turns out, Kris has been banging Myla since mid-January, so his devastation argument may be hard to swallow.

Sources close to the Kardashians tell TMZ ... Kris is lying about the sex tape. They say Kim made it clear at the beginning of their relationship she would not discuss the tape because she didn't want to be judged by it. Our sources say the sex tape never came up in any subsequent discussions between Kim and Kris and it just shows he's delusional.
