The National Enquirer has the details from Barbara Walters’ upcoming book, Audition: A Memoir, which includes all the affairs she had - when she was married, when she was single with married men, and when she was single with men you might consider fug who happened to be powerful. Walters promoted the book by confessing to Oprah of an affair 30 years ago with married US senator Edward Brooke. Brooke’s wife passed away 13 years ago, and The Enquirer reports that an insider claims “she hated Barbara Walters till the day she died” and blamed her for their divorce. Wikipedia says 88 year-old Brooke now lives in Miami with his second wife and has two daughters and a son. He has refused to comment about Walters’ memoir and their supposed affair.

78 year-old Walters figures she may as well open the floodgates on her past since no one else is going to cash in on it for her. She was married and divorced three times and has plenty of stories to tell. Other men she had relationships with include former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, former Bear Sterns CEO Alan Greenberg, and Virginia Senator John Warner. (Before he was a Senator.)

Here’s the Enquirer’s details of her affair with a married man. Although they don’t specify exact dates, if it was shortly after her first marriage ended she would have been around 30.

Next up [after her failed first marriage of three years] was a clandestine affair with a married man named Claude Phillippe, the head of catering at several Posh NY hotels.

“He knew all about wine, food, restaurants and was the epitome of sophistication. He started to call. I was thrilled. And so began two of the most romantic years of my life. I wasn’t thinking of marrying again, so his being married didn’t bother me…” says Barbara

The Enquirer says that Barbara then met her second husband, theatrical producer Lee Gruber, on a blind date, and divorced him after 10 years. They adopted a baby daughter together in 1968, when Barbara was 39. Next was her affair with senator Brooke for several years.

After that affair came tumbling down, she moved on to Alan Greenspan, John Warner before he was a senator and again after his divorce from Liz Taylor, and Alan ‘Ace’ Greenberg. In 1986, she was married for a third time to producer Merv Adelson. That marriage only last six years.

Maybe we can assume Walters had it the hardest for Brooke, since that’s who she’s talking about after all this time. The lady is 78 years old, though, and she gave marriage a try a few times. She cheated but she’s open about it. And it sounds like her last secret affair was with Brooke, and that was over 30 years ago.

As for Star Jones, who lit into Barbara for telling it like it is about the way Star lied about her gastric bypass surgery and got freebies for her wedding by mentioning sponsors on The View - Barbara says “Poor woman, she’s gone through so much.” I love it.

We created the inset image of some of Barbara’s lovers, but credit goes for the idea to The National Enquirer. Barbara Walters is shown in the header on at the 2008 AARP Inspire Awards on 12/3/07, thanks to PRPhotos.

Update: I was wrong that the last time Walters cheated was with Brooke. The NY Post reports today that she was sleeping with the two Alans at the same time, and that before that she was cheating on Edward Brooke with Alan Greenberg. Edward Brooke had asked his wife of 30 years for a divorce so he could be with Barbara in the open, reports The Post, but she then dumped him after a Nixon cabinet member told her the affair was a liability to her career. Damn Barbara!

They quote a conservative media group as saying “Barbara has now sunk to the very level of other attention-starved celebrities such as Paris Hilton or even Steve-O from ‘Jackass.’ ”

These contestants on “Dancing With the Stars” just can’t seem to keep it in their pants. Season two 2006 winners, Drew Lachey (brother of Nick and a founding member of the boy band 98 Degrees), and his dance partner Cheryl Burke, have been allegedly sexing it up while on a national tour to promote the show. The only problem with this is that Drew is a married man. In fact, his wife Lea was often seen cheering him on in the audience on TV, while pregnant with their daughter, who is now 2.

Dancing with the Stars has been rocked by a major sex scandal involving two of its most popular contestants — married dad Drew Lachey and his partner Cheryl Burke.

The Season Two champion couple had an affair during the show’s nationwide tour which ended last month, insiders tell Star.

“They didn’t go very far to cover it up,” one tour insider says. “Cheryl was constantly draped all over Drew. They held hands, had their legs intertwined and were always touching inappropriately.”

Cheryl’s then-boyfriend Matthew Lawrence discovered his girlfriend was cheating when he walked in on the pair, catching them in the act, according to several sources!

Now insiders fear that Drew, father of a 2-year-old girl, could find his marriage to high-school sweetheart, Lea, wrecked.

“Drew Had To Be Restrained”
Sources say Matthew found his girlfriend cheating when he went to retrieve something from her dressing room as the tour hit Jacksonville, Fla. on January 22, an eight-week-long Star investigation uncovered. They say he ran out screaming after seeing Cheryl and Drew having oral sex.

The insiders say that the next day, as tour members prepared to get on the bus to leave town, Drew had to be restrained as he ranted at Matthew and his brother, Joey in the parking lot. “If you talk about this, I’ll bury you Matt. I’ll bury you Joey. I’m serious I will hurt you,” he screamed.

While Matthew told Star, “There are too many things going on. I can’t talk about it,” lawyers for both Drew and Cheryl are strongly denying any affair between the two.

What a mess. Of course, this is Star Magazine, so who knows how much of this is true. But the show does seem to bring out the horny in its contestants. Season three contestant Mario Lopez hooked up with his dance partner, Karina Smirnoff; and country singer Sara Evans had to leave the show due to an ugly divorce during which her husband accused her of having an affair with her dance partner, Tony Dolovani. The accusations were never proven, and Sara accused her husband of having affairs and watching Internet porn while their children were in the room. If Drew was fooling around, his image as the devoted family man is destroyed. He has a lot to lose if these rumors reach his wife’s ears.

Any guesses on who’s going to hook up this season? My money’s on Kristi Yamaguchi and Adam Corolla.

Update: People Magazine quotes Lachey’s rep as saying this story is “completely false and cannot be further from the truth” and that it’s an old rumor that started when they first started dancing together.

The Beckhams won’t sue the woman who claimed she had an affair with David because it’s “not nice.” WTF? I don’t want to go into wasp-y stereotypes or anything, but that’s your reason? Is it nice to claim you slept with someone’s husband? Not so much. I can’t explain why, but I never really bought Loos claims. She’s so obviously opportunistic – and releasing a song about it? Girl you’re not a singer, you’re a “personal assistant.” That means you fetch bottled water and dry cleaning. Posh says she and David won’t sue Loos because she doesn’t want to upset her family life – and frankly that makes a hell of a lot of sense. I’m way to vindictive to let something like that go, but if Posh can really move on, more power to her.

‘I trust my husband 100 per cent,’ says Posh. The Spice Girl, 33, had to deal with Rebecca Loos’ claims that she had an affair with Becks in 2004 but decided not to take legal action.

The Beckhams denounced Rebecca’s allegations as ‘ludicrous’ and ‘absurd’ but that didn’t stop the former PA from making a career out of her notoriety.

Victoria decided to just ignore her. ‘We have children and I wasn’t going to go to court and drag up my personal life,’ she tells Vogue.

‘We have a very nice positive energy around us as a family and if it’s not positive and nice, I don’t want to know about it.’

Talk about rising above someone’s cheap behavior. No matter what the rest of us think, it’s impossible to know what actually happened between David and Rebecca – but what we can know for certain is that whether David cheated or not, Rebecca didn’t need to blab it to the entire world. That was just a cheap attempt at fame. And unfortunately she’s gotten a little bit of it and has released a truly horrendous song. You can listen here but you do so at your own peril. And there’s a 63% chance that your ears will revolt against you and actually jump off your head. But whatever. Good for Posh, either for being secure enough in her relationship not to feel she has to prove anything, or at least looking out for the well-being of her kids by not subjecting the family to more needless speculation.

Here’s skankatron Rebecca Loos in 2006.

When I first read a blurb about this yesterday on OK! Magazine I was so confused by the details I didn’t report it. Britney’s boyfriend Adnan, who she maybe broke up with after reading sexy texts on his phone from another woman, (although he was seen at her house a couple of days ago) supposedly had an affair. He was said to be cheating on Britney with the girlfriend of a guy who is a contestant on the Bravo Reality show “Make Me a Supermodel.” The news came out after he was photographed with the 20 year-old woman, who was suspiciously wearing one of the black “Ed Hardy” t-shirts that Adnan favors.

If that’s not bizarre enough, Adnan’s new squeeze called her boyfriend to tell him that there’s false media reports about her that are about to blow up, and their exchange was caught on tape for that “Make Me a Supermodel” show. It supposedly aired last night, so let me know if you saw it and if Adnan was specifically mentioned.

Britney’s dad Jamie is the first one to learn about the pictures of Adnan with this other woman. He was just starting to trust the guy and really blew up when he saw the photos, showing them to Britney. They just show Adnan smiling and standing with this woman, there’s no touching or kissing or anything from what’s in the Enquirer. Adnan looks like the cat who ate the canary, but he often looks like that. He is said to have slept over at this woman’s house five nights in a row, and that’s the damning part, not the photos:

Adnan - who has recently separated from his wife of four years - had just gained the trust of Britney’s father Jamie. But it was Jamie who heard about the cheating photos and instructed a personal assistant to track them down.

“Jamie told the assistant to tell Britney about Adnan. When Britney saw the pictures, she was furious,” said the insider. “She called calling Adnan ‘that cheating f-!’”

Amanda has been dating Perry Ullman, who’s in NY City competing in the Bravo TV reality show “Make Me a Supermodel.”

But Adnan slept at her house for five consecutive nights, according to an insider, who added: “They were hold up inside except for when he came outside for smoking breaks.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, March 17, 2008]

On Tuesday we ran a story about Adnan’s past as the doorman at a strip club in 2001. He used to take kickbacks and sexual favors from the strippers regularly, according to someone who worked with him at the time.

K-Fed’s then-girlfriend Shar Jackson was pregnant when Britney hooked up with him, so it’s not like she has halfway decent taste in men. Still, I thought Adnan was a cad but he seemed like he did care about Britney in his way. Maybe I was blinded by my attraction to him. He has this magnetism about him.

Fingers crossed that Britney is just gaining weight from having her medication and condition stabilized and that she’s not pregnant with this guy’s baby. She does have a suspicious-looking stomach, but it’s only from some angles. It seems like it’s from too much fast food and not a new life she’s bringing into the world.

Britney is shown shopping on 3/5/08. Adnan is shown with the other woman in a scan from The National Enquirer.

Hulk Hogan and his daughter, Brooke. The woman Hogan allegedly cheated with is Brooke’s best friend, but is not as young as his daughter and is 33
Wow, just when I thought the Hogan family couldn’t sink any lower, reports have surfaced that Hulk Hogan, aka Terry Bollea, began an affair with a 33-year-old woman over a year ago– and the woman is one of his daughter Brooke’s best friends. Christiane Plante, who helped Brooke Hogan with her pop album and was close with the family, admitted to the National Enquirer that she began an affair with the former wrestler a year ago. She claims that Hulk and wife Linda Bollea were already separated by then and were only staying together for the TV cameras.

“My relationship with Terry [Hulk Hogan] began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong. Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions. I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend.”

[From National Enquirer, print edition, March 10, 2008 as found on The Post Chronicle]

Brooke Hogan blogged about the situation earlier in the week, but the blog has since been taken down.

It should be noted that Linda Bollea did not file for separation from the Hulkster until Nov. 20, 2007. While it is entirely possible that the couple stayed together to salvage their hideous VH1 reality show, it doesn’t change the fact that legally and publicly, Hulk was very much a married man at the time of this relationship.

For once, I actually kind of feel sorry for Brooke. It’s bad enough that her parents are completely dysfunctional human beings and terrible role models through their selfish, narcissistic behavior– but now it seems she can’t even trust her own best friend. This whole thing has to hurt.

Note: I tried to find a photo of this Plante woman, but she’s done a good job of staying under the radar until now. I’m still trying to figure out what motivated her to go to the Enquirer– I have a few gue$$e$, but I’m $till $peculating.

Another random woman has come forward claiming Angelina Jolie seduced her, and has intimated that they slept together. Misty Cooper, who was an assistant to a producer on the set of “Gone in 60 Seconds” in 1999, claims that she wanted Angelina from the moment she saw her, and Angelina wanted Misty too. Cooper’s description is straight out of a cheesy supermarket paperback – she barely manages to hold herself back from bodice ripping and lustily caressing body parts. The whole account sounds trite and likely untrue, but is semi-interesting if for nothing else than its sheer ridiculousness.

“We Immediately felt the sexual chemistry, and I could feel that she was also giving off a vibe. She looked super-hot, and I really wanted her.” Misty said. Misty was well aware of Angelina’s sexual history. She knew that Angie had fallen for lesbian model Jenny Shimizu while they were working together on the set of ‘Foxfire,’ (1996) so she knew she had chance!

One week after their first encounter, they ended up talking at craft services and Misty realized that “Angie wanted to sleep with me as much as I was so desperate to get her into bed,” adding; “You could cut the sexual tension with knife.”

[From Flynet]

The article goes on to say that Misty wasn’t sure if she should pursue Angelina, since she’d just started dating Billy Bob Thorton, who was engaged to Laura Dern at the time. Apparently their “lusty flirting” continued on the set, and Angelina rubbed her body against Misty’s butt. Misty, for some reason, was afraid to reciprocate, despite the aforementioned sexual knife cutting. Angelina supposedly called Misty a tease, with Misty leveling the salacious charge right back at her. Misty was warned to stay away from Angelina by others on the set, who told her Angie was nothing but trouble. But of course, Misty just couldn’t resist.

Then finally on day on set after weeks of flirting and giving strong sexual vibes, they made their move… To Jolie’s trailer!

While Angelina was talking about her sex life, she told Misty that she had many girls but none of them were as good as Billy Bob Thornton. Misty responded with, “But you haven’t had me.” Shortly after an assistant was taking polaroid pictures of the cast and crew on set, and snapped a couple of Angelina and Misty. As you can see in the photos, there was some playful groping involved.

After that, Angelina dropped the bomb; “I want you to come to my trailer, get naked, and we’ll have more fun and more photos.” And although Misty hasn’t revealed what happened once they were inside the trailer, she did say this, “Angie has very soft lips.”

[From Flynet]

Oh barf. Not at the lesbian thing, but just at the bullshit. If this lady is telling the truth, then she sure has an awkward, corny way of speaking. Misty and Angelina never saw each other again, but Misty has no problem echoing the sentiments of Angelina’s acknowledged hookup, model Jenny Shimizu – that Angelina loves the ladies and Brad doesn’t stand a chance, longterm.

When asked about Angie’s new love, Misty responded by saying “She (Angelina) can sleep with anyone she pleases, male or female, and she’s quite the seductress, so what chance does Brad have? Although he’s beautiful looking, there is no way he can keep her down. Angie has an incredible body - Brad should enjoy it while he still can.”

Recently the mother of four and humanitarian, Angelina Jolie, spoke openly about her sexuality, saying “I’ve never hidden my bisexuality, but there’s no longer a place for that in my life.”

Misty disagrees with that. “She (Angelina) told me that only one man had really satisfied her, Billy Bob. Even if Brad is a fabulous lover, Angie still must be wondering what she’s missing,” adding; “It’s only a matter of time before Brad finds him cheating on him with another woman.”

[From Flynet]

Let’s point out that when Angie supposedly said that, she had yet to meet Brad Pitt. Maybe she says the same thing now about Brad. Or maybe it’s all old, recycled bull. One of the commenters on Flynet’s article says that she was a P.A. on the film, and that the whole thing is crap. She says Angie was totally messed up on drugs at that time, to the point that production on the film had to be stopped on several occasions. She also says that Jenny Shimizu visited Angelina several times on the set, and that Shimizu wasn’t just Angie’s girlfriend but also her dealer. Shimizu has also vocally claimed that Angie will always come back to her. Angie has been very upfront about her past, and it doesn’t seem like she’s ever denied something just because it could be considered unsavory. She’s owned up to a lot of things. She has a very different persona now, but I think it’s awesome that she doesn’t try to act like she’s always been that way. Even if there is an ounce of truth to Misty Cooper’s story, it was nine years ago. It has no bearing on Angelina today.

Note by Celebitchy: We used photos of Angelina and Billy Bob because we don’t have the rights to those ones of her messing around with that woman on set. Those are at Flynet if you want to see them. I’m sorry for subjecting you to the kissing one below, but I could not pass it up.

I didn’t want to cover this, because it’s going to open up a shitstorm of comments like any story about Angelina. JayBird did a great job of explaining how fake this all sounds so please be civil about it. If nothing else, it’s a titillating story.

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker have one of those marriages that seems unstable. Maybe it’s because they broke up several times before getting married, or because they had both reportedly cheated on each other while dating. Or maybe it’s because Longoria is supposedly quite the control freak in their relationship. Or that anyone who’s “best friends” with Mario Lopez (Longoria) has questionable judgment. During their engagement, there were a lot of reports that Longoria pressured Parker into marriage. Though they’d been together for two years, Parker was only 24 when they became engaged – certainly one could understand how any person that age – but especially a successful NBA star – would want a little more oat sewing time. Longoria also seemed to spend most of her interviews discussing wedding details more than Tony or the relationship. For different reasons, neither seemed ready to get married – Tony for a lack of life experience, and Eva for her focus on material stuff. According to a model named Alexandra Paressant, she and Parker began an affair shortly after his July 7th wedding.

A model claims that Tony Parker cheated on wife Eva Longoria with her in September. Alexandra Paressant told x17online.com that she was a guest at his July 7 wedding and that the basketball player, 25, looked at her with a wandering eye. They were eventually introduced to each other by mutual friend, soccer player Thierry Henry, she said. But it wasn’t until September 29 that Paressant claims she and Parker began exchanging sexually explicit text messages and phone calls while Parker was in Paris at the Park Hyatt Hotel.

They then slept together, she said, and continued seeing each other night after night in Paris until he left to San Antonio a short time later. “We had room service. He said that Eva, sexually speaking, does not want to do certain things,” she said. “She does not want to make love in front of a mirror, does not like [a] certain position and thinks that sperm gives acne.”

[From Us Weekly]

Eva Longoria does seem both dumb and vain enough to believe that sperm leads to acne. I’m totally going to use that line. Not in bed, just to random people on the street. Paressant also told X17 that Parker said he got married because everyone has to at some point in life. Romantic. When they asked if Eva knew about their affair, she responded, “I don’t think she knew about it. She seems quite jealous.” I’m guessing she knows now. And must be thrilled that everyone knows the secret to her clear completion. Paressant also said that when she asked Parker if he and Longoria would have kids, he responded, “Certainly not for now.”

I can’t explain why, but I do kind of believe this story. I have no idea if Alexandra Paressant is a credible source. Most mentions of her online are not to her modeling career but the fact that she was sued by her ex-boyfriend. I believe the story of the affair more because it makes sense in terms of what we already knew about Eva Longoria and Tony Parker’s relationship. Eva seemed to be pressuring a fairly young guy into marriage before he was ready, and she seemed to focus more on having the big fancy wedding in Paris than on the relationship. Hopefully something dramatic and exciting will happen soon, and Eva Longoria will learn that just planning your wedding for 7/7/07 isn’t actually all you need for a successful relationship.

Note by Celebitchy: If you watch the video of the “model” over at X17, she’s a bad actress and seems like she’s full of shit, but this story also rings true to me. It could be a publicity ploy I guess. It’s suspect that the source is X17. Why would this woman talk to them unless she wanted the press? It’s not like they’re going to check out her story or ask for receipts or plane boarding passes.

This same French model claims to be responsible for Brazilian soccer player Ronaldinho’s poor performance in last year’s World Cup - because he was shagging her at night and then playing Playstation soccer. I bet it was the video games that did him in.

This woman routinely kisses and tells - but is she telling the truth? Eva and Tony have issued new statements denying the reports. Note that Tony says he loves Eva and that he’s never been happier, but he doesn’t deny the woman’s claims. He seems like a dull blade, though, so maybe that only means they had to get this statement out quickly and didn’t read it over carefully or get another opinion first.

“I love my wife,” Parker said in a statement to PEOPLE. “She’s the best thing in my life, and I have never been happier.” Longoria, who took Parker’s name this year after their July nuptials, added, “Tony has been nothing short of the perfect husband.”

Country singer Sara Evans, 36, left “Dancing with the Stars” halfway through the last season after she abruptly filed for divorce from her husband of thirteen years, Craig Schelske. Evans had supposedly found out that Schelske was having an affair with Alison Clinton Lee. Lee was Evan’s close friend and also the nanny to the couple’s three children, Avery, 7, Olivia, 3, and Audrey, 2. Evan’s cited the affair as reason for the divorce in her filing. At the time Sara’s departure last October, her anonymous “friends” also told all the gossip magazines that Schelske was addicted to internet porn and that he was also having an affair with a woman he met on the internet.

“In the papers, Evans alleges that her husband committed adultery, was verbally and emotionally abusive, and drank excessively. She also says that he ‘frequently watches pornography’ and has ‘at least 100 photographs’ of him posing in a state of arousal, as well as ‘several photographs showing [Schelske] having sex with other women.’ Evans also attached details from Schelske’s postings on CraigsList where he allegedly requests ‘three party sex and anal sex.’”

[From Us Magazine]

Lee has completely denied any affair and has filed a $3 million defamation suit against Evans. A 118 page court document was released over the weekend that details the allegations in the divorce, and it appears that Evans is now the one having to defend her behavior. She’s accused of multiple affairs, and frankly the papers make her come off as a whore. It’s hard to tell if her husband’s lawyer is just on the attack and trying to defame her, or if there’s truth to these allegations and Evans was smearing her husband’s name in the first place. I’ll let you all read and be the judge.

“The document, filed Tuesday in Williamson County chancery court by attorneys for Evans’ husband, Craig Schelske, asks Evans to admit to affairs or romantic relationships with at least 11 people, including members of her band, members of the band 3 Doors Down, Kenny Chesney, Richard Marx and Tony Dovolani, her former Dancing With The Stars partner. The questions are included in documents used to obtain information from opposing parties during legal proceedings. Evans has not yet responded to the questions, and the court filings provide no evidence that Evans actually had relationships with any of the named people.

“John Hollins Sr., Evans’ attorney, said he could not comment because of a court-issued gag order. Evans’ publicist did not return calls. Schelske’s attorney, who is also bound by the gag order, did not return a call seeking comment. A publicist for Chesney and a former manager for Marx declined to comment. Calls left for Universal/Republic, the record label of 3 Doors Down, were not immediately returned.

“The court filing calls on Evans to state whether she admits to ‘an affair/sexual relationship/romantic involvement’ with Chesney, Marx, Dovolani, any member of her band, or Brad Arnold, Matt Roberts, Todd Harrell, Chris Henderson (members of the band 3 Doors Down). It also asks Evans to:

“‘Discuss in detail the romantic communication between you and Chesney. Include in your answer whether he sent flowers; expressed emotions of love and/or physical attraction; and whether the two of you communicated by cellphone or calls to your home, all unknown to your husband continuing to present.’

“‘List and/or describe each text message you sent and received to or from Dovolani including, but not limited to the ‘I love you,’ ‘good morning darling,’ which Schelske viewed the night before you filed for divorce and terminated Allison Clinton Lee.’”

[From USA Today]

The article also says that Evans filed for divorce “the day after a blow-up between the couple in a Los Angeles restaurant. In previous court filings, Schelske alleged that he had learned of his wife’s ‘intimate relationship’ during the dinner, which had led to an argument.” If that’s true (and of course it’s only one person’s side) then it really casts a cloud over Evans, considering all the horrible things she publicly accused Schelske and Alison Clinton Lee of. Whichever side is lying is really going all out to drag the other one through the mud. Though I’m guessing the truth lays someone in the middle. The court documents also request that Evans, “provide all records of communications between herself and several friends and colleagues, including country stars Martina McBride and Chely Wright, and Dancing with the Stars co-stars Mario Lopez, Willa Ford and Joey Lawrence.”

It seems like Schelske’s lawyer is trying to drown Evans in paperwork and impossible requests. Who in the world could remember the details of each and every text message and communication with all these people? It’s utterly ridiculous. I can’t remember the last time a famous divorce was so acrimonious. Whoever did the cheating (and maybe it’s both or neither) – both parties are so vengeful it’s hard to see how they’re ever going to get through all this drama.
