Gossip / Rumors

Angelina Jolie has just made it crystal clear ... she and Brad Pitt did NOT secretly get married.

You'll recall, Angelina swapped out her $500,000 diamond engagement ring for a simple gold band during a recent humanitarian trip to the Congo ... probably so it wouldn't get lost or stolen ... but that didn't stop everyone from speculating that she and Brad had wed on the DL.

Forget looking at photos trying to spot a ring or trying to decipher a cryptic tweet ... here's Liam Hemsworth spotted yesterday outside the Los Angeles home of his fiancée, Miley Cyrus.

Despite rumors of infidelity, hardly being seen together, and Miley's on-again/off-again engagement ring ... it seems this young couple is still going strong.

With every new season of "Dancing with the Stars" ... a new diva shall emerge amongst the cast ... and this season it's "The Bachelor" Sean Lowe. Sorry ladies.

Sources close to "DWTS" tell TMZ ... ever since filming began, Sean has caught a baaaad case of DIVA-itis ... demanding to be shot from certain camera angles, talking down to crew members, acting like a brat and bragging to other cast members, "This show NEEDS me."

We're told Sean's ego has gotten so big ... he now considers himself a brand and must "market accordingly".

As for other cast members ... we're told they've already started brainstorming nicknames for the reality star in light of his behavior -- like Princess Sean -- but have yet to find just the right one.

We could probably think of a couple.

The guy on the receiving end of Ray J's fists this morning is rapper Bad Azz from Dogg Pound Gangsta, and he has a bad history with Ray.

Bad Azz tells TMZ ... he and Ray J used to be friends, but ended up in a blood feud a few years back after Ray J told Suge Knight B.A. was talking trash about him. B.A. says Suge and his boys subsequently viciously jumped him.

Liam Hemsworth got back to the U.S. just in time to see an awesome video of Miley Cyrus twerkin' her ass off! If they really are broken up -- this looks like the best reason for them to get back together.

Sorry you creepy weirdos ... Joe Jonas did NOT record a raunchy sex tape with his Swiss model GF ... despite reports to the contrary ... Joe's rep tells TMZ.

Reports have been circulating that Joe -- who once wore a purity ring espousing his virginity -- filmed himself doing the nasty with gf Blanda Eggenschwiler while under the influence of pot and alcohol. The reports claim the sex footage features some crazy BDSM stuff, including paddles and ball gags.

But Joe's rep tells TMZ, it's total BS ... no such tape exists.

First Miley Cyrus' engagement ring returned ... now Liam Hemsworth is back -- but whether their engagement is back on is the big question, and we posed it directly to Liam.

Hemsworth arrived at LAX last night after a THREE WEEK trip to Australia and the Philippines ... sans Miley, and on the heels of rumors he and January Jones had a fling.

We asked Liam about everything from Miley's disappearing and reappearing diamond ring ... January (the month and the chick) ... and even the quality of gnar Down Under.

The Game tells TMZ, he is NOT schtupping Khloe Kardashian ... despite reports to the contrary.

Photos surfaced today showing Game and Khloe -- who's married to Lamar Odom -- hugging it out in L.A.'s Runyon Canyon Park last month ... where Game's been doing a "60 Days of Fitness" program.

You'll recall, Khloe's brother Rob Kardashian is also doing the program ... and Game tells us, Khloe is too, which is why they were hanging out.

The Game says, "The pictures that they see of us out together are because she is a part of my 60DaysofFitness team."

Miley Cyrus sent a message to her fans -- and possibly her MIA fiancé Liam Hemsworth -- by showing her enormous engagement ring is back where it hasn't been for a while ... on her hand.

Miley posted a photo of herself -- in a unicorn onesie, by the way -- prominently featuring her left hand weighted down by her diamond rock.

As everyone's heard by now ... Miley and Liam have allegedly broken off their engagement. He's been with family in Australia -- and she's been spotted all over town sans ring.

We may be reading too much into this ... but Donald Trump does not seem to like Anthony Weiner much ... because he's calling the ex-hibitionist ex-congressman a "sick pervert" and a "whack job."

Trump lobbed his latest grenade at the Conservative Political Action Conference 2013. Donald -- always the realist -- seems to think Weiner's rumored run for NYC mayor may not be affected by the lurid pics on Twitter.

Lindsay Lohan says everyone jumped the gun by saying she went to a Hollywood nightclub just hours after being sentenced to lockdown rehab.

You saw the photo ... LiLo allegedly arriving at AV nightclub Monday night, shrouded in a sheet, inside the back of an SUV emblazoned with the Mr. Pink Energy Drink logo.

Lindsay just tweeted, "Guys relax, that was NOT me at AV or in the @Mr. Pink SUV. I'm taking this seriously and focused on the road ahead."

BTW -- Mr. Pink is the company that foot the bill for the private jet LiLo flew to L.A. late Sunday night. We're told LiLo obligated herself to attend events at clubs on Pink's behalf to pay off the debt.

But Lindsay says she was a homebody Monday night: "I stayed in last night, after a pretty long day ... and ordered sushi to my hotel."

And there's this: "Don't believe EVERY little thing you hear, unless you hear it from me. The support I have gotten, has been great and means a lot."

Once a cheater, always a cheater ... so says a former Tiger Woods mistress who tells TMZ Tiger's new GF Lindsey Vonn better know what she's getting herself into.

We spoke to former hooker/porn star/ Devon James -- who tells us she was shocked when she saw the pics of Tiger and Lindsey on Facebook yesterday ... saying, "I thought he would have picked a woman who was more petite and not someone who is more muscular and has a bigger head than his."

James continues, "But maybe his taste has changed since Elin and the 27 mistresses."

"But you know when the pics came out of Tiger and his new girlfriend ... somewhere, 15 other girls were going , 'Huh? I thought I was his GF!'"

The woman suing Michael Jordan for paternity and child support -- claiming he fathered her 16-year-old son -- has dismissed her case against the NBA star ... but he might not be out of the woods yet.

TMZ has learned Pamela Smith has filed legal documents in Georgia asking the judge to dismiss her case against MJ -- and her request was granted without prejudice (meaning she can refile at a later time if she wants to).

It's unclear why Pamela wanted the case dismissed -- considering she had recently asked the court to order a DNA test ASAP.

It's possible MJ and Pamela reached some sort of settlement ... or agreed to halt legal action while they try to work things out. It's also possible she simply decided to walk away thinking she would lose in court. We simply don't know.

Either way, MJ has succeeded in taking the situation out of the public eye ... at least for now.

Pamela's attorney Randy Kessler tells TMZ ... she dropped the case on his advice that "dismissal at this time, without prejudice, is in her son’s best interests."

While rumors persist that her engagement to Liam Hemsworth is off, Miley Cyrus tried to find some solace in the comfort of her sexy bikini in Palm Springs this weekend.

The 20-year-old former Disney diva soaked her newly tatted bones at a pool in the desert. Meanwhile, Liam is still off in the Philippines for work.

After being spotted without her engagement ring recently, the breakup reports intensified ... but this weekend Miley tweeted that it's just because the wedding bling is being fixed at the jeweler.

Time will tell if that's all that needs to be repaired.

Michael Jordan's alleged baby mama believes the proof is in the puddin' ... so she wants the former NBA star take a DNA test STAT ... to prove he's the father of her kid.

Pamela Smith filed new legal docs this week in her ongoing paternity suit with Jordan asking a judge to force the b-baller to pony up some fluids or hairs ... or skin -- this after Jordan recently denied fathering her son, Grant Taj Reynolds ... born back in 1996.

In the docs, Pamela says she KNOWS Jordan's the dad because they had sex approx. 9 months before Grant's birth -- something she claims Jordan's NEVER denied -- and genetic testing will prove it resulted in the pregnancy.

As TMZ previously reported ... Jordan filed docs of his own earlier this month, DENYING he's the baby daddy -- and claimed paternity for the teenager was established YEARS ago in a previous case.

With breakup rumors continuing to swirl ... ('cause with George Clooney they always are) ... Stacy Keibler landed in Germany today, presumably to spend some quality time with her man.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the rumors of the couple's demise are way off-base -- in fact, we're told the two still live together and are currently redecorating the kitchen in their home.
