The last time we covered news of Wilmer Valderramma and Minka Kelly’s new relationship, “sources” close to Minka were denying a romance and claiming they were just friends. Minka and Wilmer were in Sydney at the time, having arrived with a group of friends, but fooling no one. I theorized that Minka might be embarrassed to be getting with Fez/Handy Manny, and for good reason.

Now Wilmer and Minka have done a loved-up beach photo op (photos are here), putting to rest any doubt that Wilmer was just a shame f’k for Minka. Somehow this guy convinced her not only to sleep with him, but to do a public walk of shame. Oh Minka, you could do so so much better girl.

TMZ TV did a whole segment (below) on how Wilmer is now a dating hall of famer, like Minka’s ex, baseball great Derek Jeter. They asked “how does Wilmer Valderrama get such hot chicks?”

Wilmer has dated Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Many Moore, Demi Lovato and now Minka Kelly.

TMZ staffers tried to figure out how Wilmer scored Minka. They theorized that he’s earned a lot of money from Handy Manny, that he’s good looking (not to me), and that “he’s a swooper, he gets them at the right time.” Bingo. Their narrator compared him to “a bad relationship ambulance chaser… who takes advantage of vulnerable women.” That’s true, the last woman Wilmer is known to have dated was then 18 year-old Demi Lovato, fresh out of rehab.

Also, doesn’t Minka Kelly look different without makeup? Pretty, but different.

Here are photos of Minka on 3-31 (with Ashlee Simpson) at a club opening in Sydney. Wilmer is shown at the same event. I never knew that Wilmer and Ashlee used to date.

Gorgeous Minka Kelly went from Derek “gift basket” Jeter to Wilmer “f*k and tell” Valderrama. It’s a step way, way down from a professional baseball player to the dude who plays Handy Manny and has a penchant for barely legal Disney stars. Minka seems to know this, because she’s unofficially denying the hookup to JustJared. It’s not directly from her rep, because that would probably be too embarrassing to acknowledge. There’s plenty of evidence that these two are hooking up. People ran a story that they were all over each other at a club in LA last week and they were just photographed together at the airport in Sydney, Australia. So they’ve progressed to full-on traveling companions, but still Minka doesn’t want us to think they’re anything more than friends.

While there has been much speculation that the two are dating, there is no truth to this rumor!

Sources exclusively tell JustJared.com that they are “definitely not a couple.” They just have a lot of mutual friends and hang in the same social circles.

Minka was last romantically linked to New York Yankees player Derek Jeter, while Wilmer recently dated Demi Lovato.

[From JustJared]

Well at least Minka knows intellectually that it’s supremely stupid to date Wilmer, so much so that she’s denying it. She’s still sleeping with the idjit, though, and traveling with him. What is it about douches like that? All Minka needs to do is google to read about the way this guy has bragged about his conquests, and how he’s racked up countless more since. What kind of lines is Wilmer feeding Minka for her to fall for it? I just don’t see his appeal at all.

Minka is in Sydney with other friends too, though. In some of these photos, taken today, she’s shopping in Sydney with Ashlee Simpson. I still don’t buy that she’s not getting with Wilmer.

Video of Bobbi Kristina and Nick together is here

This is one controversial story that I didn’t want to discuss when it came out, but now that there’s more news about it we may as well. I’ll start with an anecdote that comes to mind. About 15 years ago, when I was in college, I met a couple through a mutual friend that kind of blew my mind. They were step-brother and step-sister, not related at all except by marriage, and they acted like best buddies in public until one night when they started making out at a party. It skeeved both my friend and me out, but we acted cool about it and tried not to judge. I barely knew the couple and I lost touch with that friend, but I will always remember seeing them make out and wondering how that worked exactly. I have a brother and even if he wasn’t my blood brother I like to think I could never view him that way. Maybe since I have a brother I’m reacting more strongly to this than I otherwise would. (There’s also a couple on “Teen Mom,” Catelynn and Tyler, who are step brother and sister. Their situation is different because Catelynn and Tyler were dating before their parents met and got married.)

As you know Bobbi Kristina Brown, 19, lost her mother Whitney Houston just over a month ago. It’s a lot to deal with at such a young age, and she must be very vulnerable. We heard from Bobbi in an interview with Oprah last weekend. She sounded like she’s coping well, but it just seemed way too soon to be interviewing her. (And one of Bobbi’s aunts agrees.) Bobbi is now involved in what looks like a new romance with her “adopted brother” Nick Gordon, 22. Nick was living with Bobbi and her mom since he was 12, basically for the last 10 years, although he is not related to her at all. He’s currently living with her in the late Whitney’s mansion, and they were recently spotted out kissing and holding hands.

Nick has blasted his critics on twitter, and he sounds like he’s being defensive about the romance, not that he’s denying it at all. Outlets are reporting that Nick is tweeting that he’s not dating Bobbi Kristina, but read these tweets and tell me if he’s defending himself or saying he’s not involved with her. (Note that he seems to have cleaned up this account and I can no longer find these tweets.)

“Yea we got a little closer and what!”

Though he was never formally adopted by Whitney Houston, Gordon was essentially Houston’s “adopted son” after the late singer took him in when he was just 12-years old, her brother Michael Houston told ABCNews.com.

Similarly, Bobbi Kristina and Gordon were raised like brother and sister, though they are not blood-related.

“All the haters that don’t know us or the real story can’t unfollow me. I don’t give a f–k,” Gordon wrote on Twitter to address the rumors. “I’ve proved my loyalty to her and the Houston family. I don’t owe any of you anything. Ha, I don’t even know y’all haters.”

Bobbi Kristina’s “brother” also added that anyone who thought they were having an incestuous relationship because of the “sibling” label was badly mistaken.

“For the stupid ppl out there, she gave birth to 1 child. And she trusted me with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!” he wrote.

“She called me her ‘God Son,’” he continued. “I swear some ppl in this world act like they don’t have a brain …”

[From The Daily News]

Now Bobbi Kristina’s grandmother, Whitney’s mom, has told TMZ off the record that she thinks this is like incest and that Nick is taking advantage of Bobbi. Well, Bobbi is the sole heir to her late mom’s fortune. I wouldn’t be surprised.

Cissy Houston — Whitney Houston’s mom — has reacted fiercely to the video we posted Wednesday … showing Bobbi Kristina and Whitney’s “adopted” son Nick Gordon in a romantic grip, and then kissing (below).

Cissy told a close friend, “What they’re doing is incestuous.” Cissy feels her granddaughter has problems and Nick is taking advantage of her.

Although Whitney never formally adopted Nick, she considered him her son and Bobbi called him her brother. For his part, Nick called Bobbi his sister.

Cissy is so concerned that Bobbi has become impressionable and therefore an easy target for Nick, she’s asking the Whitney Houston Estate to take legal steps to get him evicted from Whitney’s home — where Bobbi Kristina is also living.

[From TMZ]

If they called each other brother and sister for the last 10 years, I don’t really get it. I do understand how relatives could be outraged. It’s not that I think it’s necessarily wrong, and Bobbi deserves some happiness. It’s just that I can’t imagine it personally, if that makes sense. Hopefully they genuinely care for each other and Nick has Bobbi’s best interests at heart.

A couple of weeks ago, I watched Karina Smirnoff try on wedding dresses on “Say Yes To The Dress.” Sometimes I watch random shows on demand, and I was really surprised with how fascinating that show was. I ended up watching a few episodes. In Karina’s segment, she tried on a bunch of beautiful princess-y dresses and took a long time to make a decision. Her mom was kind of a bitch about the whole process. (You can see a clip here.) Karina has such a banging figure that every dress looked awesome on her. (Although it doesn’t matter if a bride-to-be is trim or not. All women looks amazing in wedding gowns, which is part of the appeal of that show.) Karina ultimately never wore the gown she chose, because she broke up with her fiance, Detroit Tigers pitcher Brad Penny, in early December. I think this is Karina’s second broken engagement, as I know she was engaged to fellow DWTS pro, the douchetastic Maksim Chmerkovskiy, before they split in September, 2009. Prior to that she was with Mario Lopez. So I may know nothing about this Brad Penny guy, but I do know that Karina likes douches.

Anyway Karina was spotted out on several dates with none other than Owen Wilson! We heard that Owen broke up with his baby’s mother last year, and that he’s been partying a lot recently. I would love to see him settle down, but I doubt this is serious. Here’s the story, thanks to Life & Style:

Owen Wilson had better learn the foxtrot — quick!

Life & Style can exclusively reveal that the actor is romancing Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff.

“They’ve been out a few times,” a source confirms to Life & Style, on newsstands now. Adds a second insider, “They’re totally into each other.”

In December, Karina, 34, called off her engagement to baseball pitcher Brad Penny, while Owen, 43, split with partner Jade Duell in June 2011, just five months after she gave birth to their son, Ford.

[From Life & Style]

Well from what little I know of Karina I like her. I think Owen is a player though. Who knows, maybe he’s ready to get serious with someone, but I doubt it. This might be just a Spring fling.

After Sandra Bullock went through all that heartbreak with Jesse James (and arguably Ryan Reynolds, many people didn’t buy them as a romantic couple, but I did!) a lot of us were rooting for her to find a decent non-douchebag non-famous type. If this latest report is accurate that may have happened for her, hooray! OK! is claiming that Sandra has found love in the arms of a producer named Jonathan Komack Martin. Bullock’s rep issued a surprisingly specific denial that the two have been “best friends for 15 years” and that “he co-produced the ‘George Lopez’ show with her and is part of her and her son’s life. He is Ryan Reynolds’ producing partner and they are all very good friends. In addition, the recent photo of them was taken after being followed for two and a half hours to Palm Springs for a memorial.” So he’s just her buddy and they’ve been friends for over a decade, or did it recently develop into something more? Does the guy play for the other team? I’m getting that impression from the rep’s statement. Here’s more, thanks to Hollywood Life.

Is there a love triangle between Sandra, Ryan, and his BFF Jonathon? An insider says that she’s definitely moved on from Ryan and that she’s getting her mojo back by spending lots of time with the ‘new’ guy!

Sandra Bullock, 47, has a new lease on life — not only because she’s mom to son Louis, but also because she’s found someone who treats her right and makes her laugh, reports OK! Magazine.

On Jan. 22, Sandy and Ryan Reynolds‘s BFF, Jonathon Komack Martin, were snapped stepping out of a white Porsche to attend a private party in L.A. An insider says that Jonathon was “very attentive” and “didn’t leave her side all afternoon.”

So who’s this “new” guy?

From what we know, Jonathon’s the son of a TV sitcom producer and a successful Hollywood producer himself. And he’s actually not really new to the Oscar-winning actress; in fact, they were introduced 15 years ago and even co-produced together on the George Lopez show.

But whatever Sandy’s true feelings are towards him, her lips are zipped.

“She’s being extremely secretive, though, which is typical,” says the insider. “Even when probed, she won’t reveal much more than saying what a great guy Jonathon is.”

So how does Ry-Ry, 35, feel about his producer friend being stuck to the hip with his former rumored gf? “Ryan isn’t annoyed or angry about Sandy spending so much time with Jonathon, but it’s a surprise to him,” reveals the insider.

Unlike Ryan, who’s been busy dating 24-year-old Blake Lively, Jonathon’s been a dependable companion for Sandy to lean on.

“She’s been pretty down for months. But these days, there seems to be a spring in her step,” explains the insider who feels Jonathon’s kept her smiling. “Sandra can trust Jonathon and right now that’s what she needs most. She’s just been so let down in the past, she really needs a good guy who can be there for her.”

[Details from OK!, writeup by Hollywood Life]

I so want this to happen for Sandy, but it sounds like all they’ve got is the detail that this guy attended a party with her and was by her side, which was explained away in detail by the rep. Who knows what’s true or if OK! is only going by the paparazzi photos and doesn’t have any other source. I like that she’s got her private life on lockdown, and I like that she hasn’t jumped into another relationship and is focusing on being a mom. I don’t think there’s much to this story, but I would be happy if I’m wrong. Sandy deserves some good lovin’ and I still find her awesome. JJ didn’t taint her in my eyes.

Update: Sandra gave a really sweet statement denying this story to Gossip Cop. She said:

”For over a decade now, I have been so lucky to have Jonathon and Ryan as my friends, and I agree with the reports that they are both very handsome and a great catch!”

She continues, “But the only man who has stolen my heart is my son. And for now I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

That was really nice, and I believe her. Oh well.

I’m so sorry that Kaiser is still recovering today and can’t cover this story, because we definitely need to get her take on it. Last night was the big finale of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I haven’t been keeping up with the show, but I’ve read that it wasn’t as explosive as it the finale last year, which is good news I guess considering how uncomfortable it was. Well on “Watch What Happens Live,” Brandi Glanville got asked about the “most famous person” she’s hooked up with and she admitted to a week long fling with Gerard Butler. She says it was really good too, and rated him an “11.” We heard rumors about this in late August. Brandi was seen making out with Gerard at a “beach party” on August 27, and then in early September US Weekly ran a story that Brandi and Gerard were “friends with benefits,” well the benefits were short-lived, because Brandi admitted that they only lasted one very fun week together. Is that Butler’s limit or did Brandi blow it because she blabbed?

If you missed Watch What Happens Live last night on Bravo, then you missed a hook-up bombshell. Guests Lisa Vanderpump and Brandi Glanville of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills had to play a game, “Plead the Fifth,” and Brandi admitting to hooking up with a true Hollywood hunk!

“I have three questions,” host Andy Cohen explained on his show,” Watch What Happens Live. “You may ‘Plead the Fifth’ on just one question.”

1.) “If you could have ten minutes alone in a room with LeAnn Rimes and suffer no repercussions, what would you do or say to her?”

“Plead the Fifth,” Brandi said.

2.) “When was the last time you watched porn?”

“I don’t watch porn,” she said. “A year ago. Maybe. Randomly.

3.) “Who is the most famous person, besides Eddie Cibrian, that you have hooked up with?”

“I can’t Plead the Fifth,” Brandi said with a laugh. “Uh, Gerard Butler.”

Andy couldn’t control his excitment and had to keep asking Brandi more questions on her Hollywood hook up.

“Was that more than once? Was it a relationship?”

“No, no, no. It wasn’t a one nighter, it was like a little week of fun.”

Brandi explained the hook up happened in the last year over the summer. So, on a scale from 1 to 10 how fun was it?

“Eleven,” Brandi said with a big smile.

[From OK! Magazine]

I bet Butler is a hell of a lot of fun in bed, but we’ve seen some evidence and he doesn’t seem to be well endowed, not that it makes a “big” difference, I’m just putting that out there. I think that after learning that Kaiser moved on from Butler to Fassbender.

Good for Brandi for getting hers though. Not many of us would turn that down at all. You know that LeAnn is going to have a sh*t fit over this on Twitter, whether she refers to it directly or not. Maybe she already is reacting the only way she knows how – by being territorial. She’s been calling Brandi’s kids her bonus boys and getting her panties in a twist over people calling her out on it.

For more photos of Cameron with her new hair (and boobs) go here

It’s been pretty well established that Cameron Diaz has been hooking up with Diddy. Their first go-around was back in 2008 and they worked hard to keep it a secret, although Diddy was dying to brag about it. Cameron and Diddy have been together casually since at least October, which is when we first got wind of their relationship. Kaiser thinks Diddy is gross, and I understand that opinion definitely, but I see the guy’s appeal. He’s a douche of the highest order, but he seems to lavish attention and gifts on his women, when he’s not cheating on them. Diddy has a longterm girlfriend, singer Cassie, and apparently he hasn’t ditched her for Cameron at all. He just took Cassie out on a date earlier this month, and then hit the Golden Globes parties with Cameron less than a week later, where they were all over each other. This isn’t the first time they’ve made out in public.

Though Cameron Diaz, 39, and Sean “Diddy” Combs, 42, have been discreetly hooking up off and on since 2008, the down-low duo finally went public January 13 at the booze-filled CAA gala in West Hollywood. “She was straddling him,” a witness at the Soho House party tells Hot Stuff. Her hair was all crazy, her makeup was smeared and they made out in front of everyone. She was acting like a teenager!” And two days later, a witness saw Diddy with his hand on Diaz’s leg at the Golden Globe afterparty at Sunset Tower. While Diaz’s rep denies the makeout, and insider tells Us, “They sleep together, but it’s not serious.” In fact, Diddy took his model girlfriend of three years, Cassie, 25, on a romantic dinner date at NYC’s Brasserie Cognac on January 7!

[From US Weekly, print edition, January 30, 2012]

I have no problem with Cameron hooking up with Diddy. My issue is with the fact that he still keeps his 25 year-old longterm girlfriend on the hook. This is exactly what Diddy did to the mother of his twins when he was hooking up with Sienna Miller. Maybe Cameron thinks it’s fun and casual and she doesn’t have to worry about Diddy’s relationship since he doesn’t seem to be. It makes her look so dumb, though. She obviously doesn’t care how she looks, or she wouldn’t be making out with Diddy at industry parties in the first place.

This is one weird ass story that I have to repeat. The mental image has been burning in my brain for too long now, and now I must inflict it on you. The National Enquirer has excerpts this week from Hollywood bodyguard Lee Weaver’s new memoir. In an earlier story today, Kaiser mentioned an anecdote the guy told about Lindsay Lohan yelling at her dealer and nearly getting shot. Weaver also worked for Eddie Murphy and Sylvester Stallone, and he has a mouth-dropping story of a hookup Stallone had with Sandra Bullock in a hotel room. The time frame is in the early 90s, when the two were filming Demolition Man together. Apparently Sly invited Sandra up to his room, they stripped down to their underwear and rolled around while pretending to re-enact Rocky. Really. The thing is, I thought that the bodyguard actually witnessed this, but this is what Sandra told the bodyguard about what happened. I’m thinking she probably made up this whole scenario to try and explain away the fact that she hooked up with Sly.

Weaver shares a hilarious story about the night Stallone invited his co-star Sandra Bullock up to his room, but instead of hooking up with her, the two stripped down to their underwear and had a “Rocky” moment!

Weaver says that when Sandra went up to Stallone’s room, Sly ducked into the bathroom and came out wearing boxer shorts.

“I’m a lady, but I got excited because he has a beautiful body,” Weaver says Sandra told him.

And according to the bodyguard, Sandra then went into the bathroom, came out in her underwear – and that’s when things got weird!

Sandra reportedly told Weaver that Stallone started “jumping around like he was in a boxing ring.”

The actress shared: “I said, ‘OK, I can play around with him.’ As soon as he said, ‘Ding! Ding!’ he turned into Rocky, like in his movie.

“That’s the thing that bothered me the most because he was punching me in the arm! He grabbed me and we rolled on the carpet. I’m not going to lie… it did turn me on. Until he said ‘Ding! Ding!’ one more time, and right then, he screamed out, ‘Adrian!’”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, December 19, 2011]

So Sandra claimed to have had this bizarre boxing/wrestling session with Sly and admitted to the bodyguard that she was turned on? Ok I guess. That’s just out there and sounds totally made up, although I bet Sly is a weird duck like that. Sandra was around 28 in 1992 (Demolition Man came out in 1993) and Sly was 46. He was also single, having divorced Brigitte Nielsen in 1987 and not remarrying again until 1997. I wonder if Sandra and Sly ever hooked up after that, or if that was the only night they “wrestled.” That story cracks me the hell up and it sounds straight from Sandra’s imagination. That’s one way to explain a one night stand.

You can learn more of the strange things this guy witnessed at leetweaver.com

Here’s a photo of Weaver with Sandra Bullock, from his website:

We’ve heard rumors for a few weeks that Cameron Diaz and Diddy are hooking up again. They were together back in 2008, but took pains to keep it quiet – at least Cameron did. Diddy gave an interview to Playboy in December, 2009 in which he said he had secretly dated a “famous actress” but wasn’t going to say who it was. You could tell that he was just dying to spill the beans but was hoping to get another chance with the actress he wouldn’t name. Here’s what he said at the time:

COMBS: Yeah, there was a young lady who’s an actress. She’s famous. I liked her, so I was willing to do whatever I had to do. I told her, “I will sneak up the side of the building to see you.” I was persistent.

PLAYBOY: Did you get to hang out?

COMBS: We started spending time together, but we were prisoners of our celebrity. She took me to dinner after we got to know each other and hit me with a line that was straight out of the movies. She said, “You know this will never work, right?” [laughs] I knew she was right.

PLAYBOY: Who was it?

COMBS: The only person I’m gonna tell is God. If he says I can’t get into heaven I may whisper it in his ear. She was so cool the way she let me down softly, and she offered me a ride back to my hotel.

PLAYBOY: Sienna Miller’s name will get linked to that story. You know that, right?

COMBS: I can clear that up right now. It wasn’t her. This was going to shake up the world. It would have been a Puff and J. Lo situation, part two.

[From Playboy via Celebitchy]

So that makes me think that Diaz dumped Diddy nicely back in 2008 when they were linked over the summer and that he was still hung up on her a year later. She probably gave him another chance this year when she was lonely post A-Rod, but she’s still not willing to be associated with him. US Weekly claims Cameron and Diddy are hooking up, that they’ve been spotted all over the place and that “she’ll booty call him,” but the official story, the one that People is reporting, has them meeting up for some sort of “project.” Here’s US Weekly’s story:

The actress, 39, has reunited with Sean “Diddy” Combs, her off-and-on hookup since 2008, when Combs pursued her during Oscars week, a source tells Us Weekly.

“Since then, when she’s single, she’ll booty call him,” adds another insider.

And now, they’ve gone public: Nuzzling in a booth at NYC’s Catch on Oct. 24, the two were “inseparable — they had their hands all over each other,” an eyewitness tells Us.

Two weeks later, at a Nov. 11 lunch at Scarpetta in Beverly Hills, they were “making out, acting romantic,” says a source. (Reps for both stars say Diaz and Combs, 42, are “just friends” and meeting to discuss a possible comedy film project.)

One hitch: Combs is still dating his model girlfriend of three years, Cassie, 25. Says a friend, “Diddy’s single whenever there’s a better offer on the table!”

[From US Weekly]

People has Cameron’s rep telling them “Cameron and Sean are longtime friends and fans of one another’s work. They have been seen together recently because they are developing a film project.” Mmhmmm. I know Diddy is a flashy egotistical douche of the highest order, but I would love it if this fling with Cameron got serious and if they went public. I think when Diddy hooks up with a woman who challenges him he really steps up his game and tries to be a good boyfriend, as much as he can. These two seem really fun together, to me, and I want them to be a real item.

It looks like whatever fake romance J.Lo was trying to cook up with Bradley Cooper in the tabloids has either fizzled out or never was. Lopez, 42, has been sleeping with one of her backup dancers, a 24 year-old squat shaved kid named Casper Smart. Multiple outlets have this story with insider “sources” in Lopez’s camp to confirm the news and add details. It’s predictable, and it’s all about how J.Lo is sexy and desirable. The story has a whiff of haughty desperation about it, just like J.Lo. The stories do acknowledge that it’s just a fling for her, though, a fling that she’s more than willing to confirm.

A few months after she and husband Marc Anthony announced they were splitting, the American Idol judge appears to be logging time with a new man: Los Angeles-based dancer Casper Smart.

“Yes, they are dating and having a good time,” a source tells PEOPLE of the pair. “They’ve been getting more open with their flirting for weeks.”

Smart, who has appeared in Glee, Step Up 3D and How I Met Your Mother, reportedly also dances at Los Angeles-area nightclubs.

Smart also reported that he and Lopez worked together on Friday night, posting on his Facebook page: “In Palo Alto Bout to do a show w/ Jennifer Lopez for some1s birthday.”

Lopez had been most recently linked to Bradley Cooper.

As for her budding romance with Casper, another source describes it as “a fun fling.” Says the source: “It’s not meant to turn into anything more.”

A rep for Lopez had no comment.

This wouldn’t be the first time Lopez, 42, has been romantically involved with a dancer. She was married to choreographer and dancer Cris Judd in 2001, and the couple split in 2002.

[From People]

Yes Lopez’s rep had “no comment,” but People still got a “source” to tell them that “they are dating and having a good time.” Both TMZ and The Insider also have confirmation from sources, along with additional details. My favorite quotes are in US Weekly, where Lopez’s people try to explain away her “breakup” with Bradley Cooper:

Lopez “liked the thrill and the fact that Bradley has been pursuing her,” but a source says she “has really been trying to concentrate on her kids and work. But Bradley has been especially eager.”

So Lopez has been “trying to concentrate on her kids and work,” so she rejected the movie star and picked a no-name backup dancer 18 years younger than she is. I’m so sure that’s exactly how it happened. Is she going to keep dating 20-something lovers post divorce, just like Madonna? At least she’s not marrying them yet.
