Tabloid Brazenly Claims: Angelina Jolie's Twins Have Down Syndrome!

Tabloid Brazenly Claims: Angelina Jolie's Twins Have Down Syndrome!

Look. We love celebrity gossip. It's what we do. Rumors can be just as fun to discuss as real news, even if we know they're just that - rumors.

There's a line between fun gossip and flat-out slander, however, don't you agree? To that end, Star may have just outdone itself/hit a new low.

How is that even possible? A new cover story on Angelina Jolie and her twins, Vivienne and Knox, alleging they have a serious mental disability:

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TWINS is not contained here at all.

Basically, the magazine makes up utter nonsense about Angelina Jolie's twins, which is to be expected. To a point. "Down Syndrome Drama" is not a laughing matter.


Few things are more depressing and sad for families than Down Syndrome, a very serious and debilitating condition. Making light of it to boost sales?

That's just low, even for you, Star.

Hopefully next week, the tabloid will return to its less-offensive roots with some ridiculousness about Jennifer Aniston carrying Brad Pitt's alien love child.

Gabriel Aubry Accused of Berating, Insulting Halle Berry

Gabriel Aubry Accused of Berating, Insulting Halle Berry

Those close to Gabriel Aubry say this Canadian model has been forced to take Halle Berry to court because he fears her jealous rage over his dating life will result in less time spent with the couple's daughter, Nahla.

As reps for the two sides exchange public barbs, it's been unclear why Berry says she "has serious concerns" over Aubrey's interactions with the two-year old. Until now.

For more on Halle Berry's battle with Gabriel Aubry, read this People cover story.

In the latest issue of People, Aubry's former business partner, Stephane Bibeau, describes his ex-friend as "vindictive" and says: "Once they broke up, he became verbally threatening to Halle Berry."

Insiders tell the magazine and TMZ these threats included the use of the "N word" and other slurs.

Explains one friend of Aubry's:

"From the beginning, Halle Berry kind of had the upper hand because she was essentially supporting all of them for the most part. Gabriel never liked how that felt. Their split was tough because they're both so involved in raising Nahla, and neither ever wanted to give that up."

Britney Spears' New Album Cover, Title Revealed: Femme Fatale!

Britney Spears' New Album Cover, Title Revealed: Femme Fatale!

Britney Spears will releases a new album Tuesday, March 15.

This morning, as promised, she revealed its title and cover ...

"I've poured my heart and soul into this album over the last 2 years. I put everything I have into it. This album is for you, my fans, who have always supported me and have stuck by me every step of the way! I love you all!" the star Tweeted.

"Sexy and Strong. Dangerous yet mysterious. Cool yet confident!"

"FEMME FATALE' ... March ...."

In the accompanying cover shot, also Tweeted by Britney Spears herself, she wears little makeup and with her hair mussed, looking seductively at the camera.


Appropriate for an album being billed as one of her harder, edgier, grimier efforts. Its first single, "Hold It Against Me," certainly lives up to those descriptions.

The term Femme Fatale refers, at least in our interpretation, to a mysterious woman whose seductive powers over men often lead to dangerous situations.

Also appropriate for the incomparable Britney Spears, right?

While there's already controversy about her new music video and whether she uses a dancing/stunt double, so far the singer is letting criticism roll off her.

What controversy? A Femme Fatale thrives on such things.

Bachelor Bimbo Brouhaha: Gia Allemand, Vienna Girardi Trade Accusations on Twitter

Bachelor Bimbo Brouhaha: Gia Allemand, Vienna Girardi Trade Accusations on Twitter

Gia Allemand and Vienna Girardi both vied for Jake Pavelka on The Bachelor, but it's another gentleman from the franchise who has them both in a Twitter tizzy.

Wes Hayden, Jake's competition for Jillian Harris on The Bachelorette, and who later wooed Gia on Bachelor Pad, was rumored to be dating Vienna Girardi last week.

While Hayden denied the rumor, it didn't sit well with Gia Allemand.

Gia (left) finished third on the season won by Vienna Girardi.

"I guess I can hope to be The Bachelorette now that Wes is dating Vienna Girardi!" Gia Tweeted Tuesday, half-seriously lobbying for the lead role this summer.

"It's sad that people make up lies (Gia Allemand) that I'm dating someone to get sympathy and attempt to become The Bachelorette," Vienna Girardi replied.


Gia's reply: "[You are] a bad friend [and] everyone saw you guys at the reunion and in Texas. And [you] approached me. Hope they got it on camera."

"The world already knows [your] true colors."

To which Vienna Girardi hilariously replied: "I hope they got the entire conversation on video especially the part about you sleeping with Mario Lopez. Have a nice day!"

Well... there you have it.

Vienna, who was engaged to Jake for about 12 minutes, may or may not be dating Wes, who broke up with Gia Allemand, who may or may not have boned Mario Lopez.

No clue why ABC would choose either of these nut jobs when they can have Chantal O'Brien or Emily Maynard, but there's always Bachelor Pad 2 ...

Teen Mom 2 Love Story: Leah Messer, Corey Simms Fall Back in Love

Teen Mom 2 Love Story: Leah Messer, Corey Simms Fall Back in Love

Teen Mom cast members have taken over the cover of a celebrity news magazine once again, but in a change of pace, it's not about Amber Portwood beating her baby daddy or Farrah Abraham trading barbs with Kim Kardashian.

Leah Messer and Corey Simms, having reconciled and recommitted to their love and their twin girls, talk about their long journey back to each other.

It's a cute photo, you gotta admit ...

TEEN MOM TOGETHERNESS, TOO: For once, a family on the upswing.

While they relive the heartbreak often and admit things aren't always easy, and while they face myriad challenges with Ali's medical issues, they're going strong.

Here's hoping that it continues that way, for all involved.

Lindsay Lohan Necklace Caper: Criminal Charge and Probation Violation Likely

 Lindsay Lohan Necklace Caper: Criminal Charge and Probation Violation Likely

Lindsay Lohan could be in for a world of hurt after the LAPD forwards the file on her alleged jewelry heist over to the D.A.'s Office later today.

Sources close to the LAPD investigation say the case against her is "strong." One goes farther, saying that criminal charges being filed is "likely."

In addition to the seriousness of this offense on its own merit, there's the additional complication brought about by her existing probation.

SO SCREWED: Jail could be a-callin' for LiLo after this stunt.

If you missed it, a shop owner in Venice, Calif., filed a police report accusing Lohan of stealing a necklace, valued at $2,500-plus, from her store.

Evidence: Surveillance footage of Lindsay Lohan wearing the necklace in the store and a photo of her wearing the one-of-a-kind necklace a week later.


Oh, and one of her "associates" turning it over to the cops this morning. In short, she's royally screwed without one heck of an excuse/lawyer.

As far as her probation is concerned, Lindsay Lohan visited the L.A. County Probation Department in Santa Monica today for a sit-down with her P.O.

Lindsay Lohan is on wafer-thin ice as the necklace ganking could be a felony and grounds to violate her probation, which probably means time in jail.

Guess they don't treat shoplifting compulsions at Betty Ford.

We will keep you posted on how the authorities proceed with the case, as well as what excuse the troubled star attempts to use this time.

Charlie Sheen Thanks Fans, Wonders Why We Care

 Charlie Sheen Thanks Fans, 

Wonders Why We Care

For the first time since his alleged cocaine use and adult film star partying landed him the hospital, which landed him into an at-home treatment program, Charlie Sheen has released a statement.
It reads:

I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people.
"I want to say 'thank-you' to my fellow cast members, the crew of Two and a Half Men, and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros., especially Les Moonves and Bruce Rosenblum for their concern and support.

"To my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much. Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say, 'thank-you.'

Sheen isn't saying he has a lot of work to do in order to get better, is he? We're glad he's gracious, but there's no sign here of a guy who thinks he has a problem - especially considering the text messages he left for E! News minutes prior to this statement. Follow the jump to read them.


Responding to various rumors about his life - will father Martin Sheen really seek conservatorship over him? - Sheen wrote:

"Believe nothing. I will never speak about any of this as long as I'm alive. You're all gonna have to keep towing the same redundant line, guessing wrong....

"BTW, two wars are in an endless state of sorrow. Egypt about burned to the ground, and all you people care about is my bullsh-t....?"

No, Charlie, you are far from all we care about. You're more like a welcome distraction from those topics. Moreover, allow us to respond to your question with one of our own:

Two wars are in an endless state of sorrow. Egypt about burned to the ground, and all you care about is smoking cocaine and forming a porn family?
