Kelsey Grammer REALLY Wants a Divorce!

Kelsey Grammer REALLY Wants a Divorce!

For a guy who reportedly enjoys sex like a woman, Kelsey Grammer is taking a manly stance in his divorce proceedings with Camille Grammer.

The actor has made his case to a judge that he's taken every step necessary to be legally free forever from his wife. In new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Kelsey Grammer is asking the court to officially grant the split.

Grammer Kiss
Please just kiss Kelsey goodbye already, Camille.

The only things holding it up: greed and vindictiveness.

Kelsey Grammer has turned down a $30 million offer already, and now Kelsey Grammer refuses to put up a $10 million bond that would keep everyone honest while they negotiate the final settlement.

Kelsey Grammer wants to be free from one marriage so he can begin a new one: he's engaged to 29-year old Kayte Walsh. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. An anxious world awaits.

The surgeons who operated on Sexy Cora have been charged with negligent manslaughter. Said her husband:

"The brain damage was too great. Her blood pressure dropped steadily, physiological functions gave out... then, she went to sleep quietly."

Jesse James to Wed Kat Von D REAL Soon

Jesse James to Wed Kat Von D REAL Soon

The engagement of Jesse James and Kat Von D surprised many. If reports that they are tying the knot within a month are true, that should do the same.

"Jesse and Kat don't see any reason why they should wait to trade vows," a source said. "They are madly in love and want to make everything official."

According to the source, Jesse James and Kat Von D have already started planning their wedding, which will be small and happen outside of California.

INKED: Jesse and Kat can't wait to make it official.

Don't expect an over-the-top Hollywood wedding for the twosome, which should come as no surprise considering their unexpected whirlwind relationship.

The two became a couple in September, shortly after his divorce from Sandra Bullock, who he informed prior to going public with his engagement to Kat.

The divorce - James' third - with Bullock happened after he was caught cheating on Sandra with many women, most notably Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.

Hopefully the fourth time's the charm.

Roger Ebert: Before and After Plastic Sugery Pics

Roger Ebert: 
Before and After Plastic Sugery Pics

During his battle with thyroid cancer, Roger Ebert says he "studiously avoided looking in a mirror."
That's because the movie critic lost the bottom half of jaw his jaw to the disease.

But a two-year process has now resulted in a silicone prosthesis that Roger Ebert debuted this week, one that he'll wear during upcoming TV appearances. Below, right, the veteran reporter shows off his new look:

"I will wear the prosthesis on the new television show – that's not to fool anyone, because my appearance is widely known," he says. "It will be a pleasant reminder of the person I was for 64 years."

Ebert Presents at the Movies debuts tonight on PBS. It will feature Christy Lemire and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky reviewing films and Roger discussing new films and classics.

Snooki, JWoww to Film Jersey Shore Spinoff Pilot?

Snooki, JWoww to Film Jersey Shore Spinoff Pilot?

Snooki and JWoww are, like, total BFFs, as last night's Jersey Shore proved. They're so tight, MTV wants them to film a spinoff pilot - this weekend!

The pilot episode will be shot in Long Island over the weekend. There's no special hook to the potential new show, it's just JWoww and Snooki solo.

Sort of like the Kardashians and their 19 spinoffs. It's a bit odd that MTV even wants a pilot. They sort of know what to expect from JWoww, no?

Snooki, Jenni
GRUESOME TWOSOME: Is MTV spinning off JWoww and Snooki?

This would be the second proposed spinoff of Jersey Shore, which is reportedly airing a fourth season as well. A Pauly D spinoff has already begun filming.

No word yet what Jenni and Nicole will be doing in the pilot, but we would bet a fair amount that there will be a lot of bronzer, boobs and buff dudes. Sweet.

Irene Lopez: 
Dating Macaulay Culkin?!?

Note to men seeking attractive girlfriends: don a towel, spread after-shave on your face and scream loudly.

The trick has apparently worked for Macaulay Culkin, who recently ended an eight-year relationship with Mila Kunis - and has seemingly started a new one with Spanish porn star Irene Lopez!

The two were spotted this week exiting a live sex club in Barcelona.

"The last time I was with him, no one found out about it," Lopez told E! News, perhaps outing the acting as a cheater. "I don't know what happened this time that the newspaper heard about it."

What, exactly, went on at the sex show in Spain? Lopez would only say: "I don't want to cause him any harm. He's a good person."

Sounds to us like someone won't be home alone tonight! (Sorry.)

Miley Cyrus has millions of fans around the globe.

We just didn't think a middle-aged disc jockey known for his extreme views and penchant for lesbians was among them.

As a guest on Piers Morgan Tonight this week, Howard Stern was asked about the current music scene. He initially made a joke about Miley Cyrus basically stripping off all her clothes on stage, but then admitted that he's a fan of both this 18-year old artist and Lady Gaga.

Stern said he's even Googled Miley Cyrus recently. And, yes, he knows how dirty that sounds...

What Will Oprah Reveal?!?

Oprah Winfrey is just a messenger, folks. But she has an anxious world awaiting that next message.

In a new commercial for the next edition of her talk show, Oprah Winfrey says: "I was given some news that literally shook me to my core. This time, I'm the one being reunited. I was keeping a family secret for months, and on Monday you're going to hear it straight from me."

What could the secret be? There are many possibilities, as Winfrey was born to unwed teens, had a baby who passed away and was raised by various family members.

"I thought I'd seen it all," Winfrey teases. "But this, my friends, is the miracle of all miracles."

The Alexander McQueen dress Michelle Obama wore to the White House State Dinner for the Republic of China marked another fashion risk for the First Lady.

But was it one that hit or missed?

Dressed in a red petal print silk organza gown, Michelle Obama was both fashionably bold and diplomatic, as the brilliant red is a symbol of luck in Chinese culture:

Gabriel Aubry vs. Halle Berry: It's War!

Gabriel Aubry vs. Halle Berry:
It's War!

Apparently, there's a reason why Gabriel Aubry recently panicked over his paternity.

The Canadian model filed a motion on December 30 to be officially, legally declared the father of Nahla, the two-year old daughter he shares with Halle Berry. Insiders tell Radar Online his concern over custody status is based on a series of explosive fights with his ex.

"Whenever Gabriel doesn't do exactly what Halle Berry tells him to do, or if he does something she doesn't approve of or like, she goes crazy on him, screaming and shouting," the source says.

G. Aubry Berry's Boobs

Referring to Berry as someone with a "nasty temper," this friend says things grew more heated than ever near the end of the year, as Aubry was spotted out in public with Kim Kardashian and others.

"Halle was absolutely furious and had a complete melt-down. She basically gave him an ultimatum: choose between dating other women and carrying on being on her good side... in the end he just got sick of being bossed around and told what to do by his ex-girlfriend."


For that reason, Aubry can't trust that he and Berry can peacefully work out a custody arrangement outside a courtroom.

The source makes it clear that Gabriel believes Halle Berry is a good mother, and has no intention of fighting for full custody of Nahla. He just wants to ensure his rights as her father are protected, especially as Berry has allegedly gone to extreme lengths to discredit him.

"Gabriel Aubry told me that he believes Halle Berry is having him tailed by a private investigator, and he's not just some paranoid dude with a wild imagination... if she thinks a PI is going to dig up anything salacious or scandalous I think she'll be sorely disappointed. Gabriel's one of the straightest, nicest, bordering on boring guys I know."

Jersey Shore: 
Picked Up For Season 4?

Looks like a fourth round of MVP, GTL, smashing it at the club, throwing down with roommates and face-planting drunk in the sand is just around the corner.

MTV has already told the Jersey Shore cast to keep May 2011 open to film a fourth season, a source involved in negotiations tells Hollywood Life.

The contracts for half the cast of the current season state that MTV reserved the rights to bring them back for a fourth season. So it's pretty much a go.

FOUR PLAY: The cast is totally DTF (doing the fourth).

Jersey Shore, which is all new tonight after a special Monday episode, has been like lightning in a bottle for MTV, so a fourth season seems like a given.

As of now, no shooting destination has been set, but with record ratings so far in season three, they'll find someplace that will accept Snooki. Eventually.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season Finale Recap: Richards Family Meltdown!

The Real Housewives 
of Beverly Hills Season Finale Recap: 
Richards Family Meltdown!

So much happened on the season finale of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, it's taken us awhile to sift through the carnage. After this nuclear war, the extent of the fallout may not fully be known for years. Or the reunion special.

How did THG's critic respond to the events of last night, which included family feuds, cat fights and relationships unraveling one after the other? Find out now ...

Wow. I've seen a lot of Housewivery battles in my day, and nothing compared to last night's limo ride to nowhere. We knew Kim and Kyle have family issues, but didn't realize just how deep rooted those issues actually are.

I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start at the beginning.

Talk to the Hand Bitch!

We open with last week's final scene. Camille and a sprinkle of Grammer minions toasted Kelsey's Tony nod, and the air was thick with "I don't want to be here."

By the way, did anyone notice that the woman next to Camille bears a striking resemblance to The OC's Julie Cooper-Nichol (Melinda Clarke)?

It's more of the same between Camille and Kelsey as they headed to midtown, and it was painful for everyone involved to watch Camille continue to kiss Kelsey's ass, even though he wanted NO part of her.

She said it herself during a heart-to-heart with one of her very few female friends: Kelsey did everything he could to avoid talking about and engaging in their failing marriage at the Tony Awards.
Camille finally realized that she was reduced to begging the pr!ck to stay in their marriage. As nuts as she is, I felt for Camille in that moment.

Crazy may have a "Jesus complex," but she's just as human as the rest of us (Thank God. The jury was out for a bit). 


Lisa Vanderpump kept her word and finally addressed the Serafina Showdown with Taylor.  Never one to be removed from her element, Lisa invited Taylor to lunch at Villa Blanca (which, by the way, has a very reasonably priced menu.

I'll pop in v. soon to report back on the cuisine. No doubt I'll be washing it down with a bottle of Rose. Anyhoo, Lisa's not one to beat around the bush.

She laid it out on the table to Taylor almost straight away: Did Taylor say something to Camille in private before dinner to get her so worked up AGAIN?

Nay, said Taylor. The root of all this nonsense, according to Taylor, stemmed from Kim. The story didn't make total sense, and we're glad Lisa didn't buy it either.

From there, things went south because, as we'll find out, Taylor took this as a sign to confront a very unstable Kim about what happened in New York (and essentially blamed her for EVERYTHING). And as Lisa said, "I don't give a flying fig what Kim said to Taylor." ILYLV.

Speak of the nutter, Kim walked into the Cristophe salon in Beverly Hills to see about makeup application. Here is where the former child actor really come undone.

Kim doesn't do glamour. When she was married to her ex-husband, you'd find them both in chef's hats and sweats beyond the guarded gates. Things haven't changed much and Kim still feels like a plain Jane.

As the makeup artist attempted to show her how to apply eyeshadow, Kim struggled to dab. Her reasoning? Because she didn't have to put on a face for friends or school. Kyle did, but Kim didn't. Hmmm, alright.  We'll let the doctor find out why you can't apply makeup.

Kim's Acting Drunk

Lisa gets 10000000 points for naming her dog Pikachu.  And she got another 5 points for finally looking Cedric in the eye and telling him he couldn't live at their palace any longer.

I'm sorry, but if my wealthy friends told me, point blank to my face, that I have to move out of their home after a year of freeloading, I would be up a real estate agent's ass to find me something decent.

No self-respecting person would be so rude as to remain in friend's home when they've been told time and time again that they need to find their own place. I realize that Cedric has abandonment issues, but he's 37 and needs to get a grip.

Lisa's not leaving him; he just needs to put on his big boy pants and grow up.

The fact that Camille had to show ID to prove who she was at Kelsey's NYC apartment is reason enough to receive $50 million from that a__hole.

Drippy Russell was totally told by Bravo to throw Taylor a birthday party, and having no backbone or interest in doing something for her himself, he said yes.

Then the next day he and Taylor would hop a plane to Mexico to fix their marital problems. RED LIGHT RED LIGHT. Naturally, the party is a bust mainly because Drip made the worst birthday speech about his wife ever. He should have asked Paul to write something up. Paul's funny, attentive and gave up a weekend with Marky Mark to make his wife a plate of finger foods.

It still counts even if she walked away mid-sentence. God bless the Bickersons.

After the worst speech in the world ever, Taylor decided to unleash her marital frustration on Kim. It was the perfectly opportunity to relinquish any and all accountability for what she may or may not have done during the season.

In all fairness to Kim, it was a shady thing for Taylor to do and was executed out of self-interest more than "I need to get this off my chest." Kim is not great at defending herself, so this confrontation was messy, at best.

Not to mention it seemed that Kim was a little drunk when she arrived.

Things escalated between Taylor and Kim, as Kyle heard her name and shimmied over in a too-tight bandage dress (really, Kyle, you're pretty and have a great body, but it's time to dress your age).
Then Lisa and Adrienne came over to mediate.

Kyle is over trying to deal with Kim. We can tell she's had it and doesn't feel like defending someone who can't fight her way out of lunch box. Kim accidentally accused Lisa of being a bad friend, then immediately retracted her statement.

Housewife Squabble

Lisa knew the poor thing is crackers, so after her initial shock, I'm sure she let it go. Meanwhile, Adrienne stepped in to try and calm Kim and Kyle down. I'd like to pause for a moment and call to everyone's attention Adrienne's pumps.

Weren't they something? Stars of the show, those sparkle pumps.

By this point Kim was in her limo, having been told to stay put (by both her manager and Andy Cohen, probably). Somehow Martin made his way into the limo. What for, I don't know. Then Adrienne stepped in to try and make Kim feel better.

No such luck.

In swooped Kyle and things just went so bad. So, so bad. The worst I've seen in a long time. So much was aired between the Richards sisters that shouldn't have been caught on camera. Kim's possible battle with alcohol, the fact that Mauricio and Kyle support her financially. How about when Kim blurted out, "You stole my f____ house!"

I have no clue what that means, but it all just blew up.

The "Where Are The Housewives Now" ending wasn't much better. Lisa isn't speaking to Cedric, Kim checked into rehab, then checked right out. Kyle isn't speaking to her, Taylor's on the verge of divorcing the Drip and Camille is in the middle of a custody battle with Kelsey. The only one faring well after all is said and done is Adrienne (we hope).

If you think this finale was bad, wait until next week. As always, Andy Cohen recorded many hours of screaming and fighting for sweeps. Heaven knows what kind of dark spots lie ahead. Stay tuned.

Gabrielle Giffords Improving, 
Moving to Houston Rehab Center

The status of Gabrielle Giffords continues to improve.

In the latest encouraging news about the Arizona Congresswoman, doctors plan on moving her to a rehab center in Houston in the very near future. This follows yesterday's significant step, as doctors took Gabrielle Giffords outside for the first time since the January 8 shooting.

"I saw the biggest smile she could gather," trauma surgeon Peter Rhee said of the politician's reaction to the hospital's roof deck. "We are very happy to have her enjoying the sunshine of Arizona."

Among recent improvements made by Gabrielle Giffords:
  • She successfully used an iPad.
  • She picked out different colored objects.
  • She moved her lips, although it's still unclear whether or not she can form words.
Mark Kelly, Gabrielle Giffords's astronaut of a husband, thinks his wife is familiar with her surroundings. At yesterday's briefing, he said: "I can just look in her eyes and tell. She is very aware of the situation."

Jersey Shore Recap: If I Were Sober, I'd Be Bored

Jersey Shore Recap:
If I Were Sober, I'd Be Bored

Last night on Jersey Shore, Snooki got sprung from the can but soon reverted to her old ways, while Ronnie's doppelganger was discovered at the club and JWoww's relationship problems with Tom Lippolis reached a tipping point.

A relatively tame episode after Snooki's epic bender, but a good one.

As always, THG breaks down all the best Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from last night's installment of the MTV show in its trademark +/- recap below:

Lecture From Dad
WHAT A QUACK: Snooki's dad relays his disappointment.

He's disappointed, but Snooki's dad takes the whole thing pretty well. Guess when your daughter once sold alcohol at a party at your house, and a trashed guest crashed his car and died on the way home, you've seen worse. Minus 12.

When her father goes off on her with the tried and true "I'm not mad, just disappointed" bit, she says "It's not like I killed someone." This time. Plus 8.

His lecture was a real deterrent for at least 12 hours. Minus 4.

Wait, was JWoww wearing a "Free Snooki" tank top? Plus 7.

JWoww and Tom argue via the duck. It's only going to get worse. Minus 4.

Ronnie and Sammi are sound asleep and therefore silent. Niiiiice! Plus 5.

They'll wake up at some point between now and the end of time. Minus 5.

Deena tags along with the guys and fits in well, complimenting a girl's chest, letting a girl do a shot off her stomach, allowing a girl to grind on her ass and so on. They may want to rename their crew MVPD. Plus 10.

JWoww Cleavage Pic
FUN WITH FLIP VIDEOS: What else is that thing good for?

JWoww, Pauly D and Vinny shoot flip-cam videos. See above. Plus 9.


Snooki gem #1: "Every time I get really excited, like if we go to a club, I have to poop my pants. If we go to a party, I have to poop my pants, if I go on a date, I have to poop my pants." So Snooki and fecal waste are inseparable. Minus 7.

Snooki gem #2: "This is the things I think I’m addicted to: Bronzer, boys and alcohol. I’m f@#ked up." Yes, this is pretty much the things, Snook. Plus 6.

Fake Ronnie is just as much of a sleaze as Real Ronnie. Minus 4.

Plus 8 for Vinny's line in which he says getting to "hang out with Ron while he's with Sam" is the best of both worlds, though. Funny and likely true.

Duck Call
(DUCK) CALLING IT OFF: JWoww and Tom break up.

Deena and Dean get in the tub and molest each other. The next day, Sammi says, "Men are pigs." Deena: "He [indecipherable] last night, so." Huh? Eh, Plus 5.

Real Ron on JWoww hypocrisy: "She sees her ex-boyfriend, then calls her boyfriend, but I'm the dirtbag? She's just a shady bitch." He's way worse. Minus 6.

JWoww ends it with Tom Lippolis, saying he basically drove her into the arms of Roger Williams. Plus 8, since unlike Sam, she clearly means the word "done."

Dude stole JWoww nude pictures! Dirtbag. Minus 7.

Plus 13 for Snooki and JWoww's friendship. They may be trashy at times (or all the time), but there is a genuineness that we really relate to and appreciate.

On Jersey Shore After Dark, JWoww says Tom was an abusive control freak who "threw her down the stairs" because he found clothes in her luggage that weren't "acceptable." Does she wear anything that is acceptable? It's JWoww! Minus 10.

Bonus Plus 7 for an episode generally free of Sammi opening her mouth, and for a little breather from The Situation's antics, much as we love the guy.

TOTAL: +27. SEASON TOTAL: +104.

Former Oksana Grigorieva Bodyguard: Team Mel All the Way!

Former Oksana Grigorieva Bodyguard: Team Mel All the Way!

Oksana Grigorieva's ex-bodyguard Kristian Herzog has had some rough things to say about Mel Gibson in the past ... like how Mel wanted him dead.

Now, though, the guy who likely knows the most about Oksana Grigorieva's claims against Mel Gibson says she's exaggerating or downright lying about violence.

Herzog, who served as her bodyguard until recently, and who may or may not have nailed Oksana Grigorieva, says she admitted to him Mel never punched her.

Oksana, Mel Picture
Oksana is a manipulative liar trying to bilk Mel, says Kristian.

Rather, Herzog says Oksana Grigorieva told him Mel Gibson slapped her. That's it. Gibson admits slapping Oksana Grigorieva, claiming he was trying to protect daughter Lucia.

Herzog, who's been subpoenaed by Mel's lawyers in the couple's custody fight, also says she had a motive for secretly recording Mel Gibson rants.

That motive, simply, was "to pressure Mel Gibson to pay her money."



Grigorieva reached a $15 million settlement with Mel Gibson, but then backed out at the last minute. Soon after, the tapes leaked online, one after another.

Oksana Grigorieva, who claims she recorded Mel Gibson because she feared for her life, is being investigated by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department for extortion.

Who knows if Kristian is the least bit reliable, but it's interesting that he's come out against Oksana Grigorieva with such damning claims. Makes you think ...

Lamar Odom: No Sex Tape, No Shame!

Lamar Odom: No Sex Tape, No Shame!

Lamar Odom is really sorry. He knows the public wants to watch him have sex with Khloe Kardashian, but he says we won't get the chance to.

Really, this is a quote from an interview the Lakers power forward/reality star gave to Playboy this month: "People see us and are probably like, 'Damn, I wonder how that looks.' We wouldn’t have anything to be ashamed about, but no, that’s not going down."

Darn. We'll try to carry on with our lives, Lamar Odom.

Driving to the Rim

Elsewhere in the interview, Lamar Odom discusses life as a Kardashian, Scott Disick and more. Excerpts are posted below.


On Khloe and his perception of marriage: Most people don’t want to get married. Being married, that’s a responsibility. I always used to tell that to women. I don’t want a girlfriend because that means I’ve got a responsibility. I have a responsibility to call you. I have a responsibility not to be with another woman. I have a responsibility to be there on time when you need me. With her I was like, If I do what I normally do, I’m going to lose her. And if I lose her, I think it’s going to hurt a lot. Right then and there I knew. We were together every day.

Did he really withhold sex until marriage? I tried to.

On the Kardashians: People have the wrong idea. They’re a really strong family and fun to be around... I’m perfect for that. I come from a big family. I’ve always been on a team. I understand. The circus is what makes it tick and keeps it going.

On Scott Disick: As long as he’s not disrespectful to Khloé, I can’t overstep my boundaries.

Will Social Services Investigate Nadya “Octomom” Suleman Over Fetish Photos?

Will Social Services Investigate Nadya “Octomom” Suleman Over Fetish Photos?


Earlier today TMZ posted some freaky fetish photos taken at Nadya “Octomom” Suleman’s home with a friend of hers, radio personality “Tattoo”. Fox411 contacted Orange County to see if the mom of 14 could face an investigation from Social Services.

Public Information Officer Terry Lynn Fisher couldn’t comment on whether or not Nadya Suleman was being looked at, but she did share some general guidelines for what triggers an investigation:
Allegations of abuse or neglect must rise to the legal level and descriptions of abuse or neglect. We don’t know if the children were home, we don’t know if for sure that it was filmed in her home–there are so many variables.”
A source close to both Nadya and “Tattoo” say that they’re good friends and he truly cares and wants to help her out.
“Tattoo has children of his own. He and Nadya have had a relationship for years now. He would never do anything to hurt children. He’s a very cautious person. There were no children present when the photo shoot took place.”
No matter how weird or disturbing it all may seem, as long as the kids weren’t home, she didn’t do anything wrong.
