Rachel Uchitel is doing Celebrity Rehab because she’s a “love addict”. If by “love” you mean “love of cocaine and pills and married men”. Allegedly, when things got too intense with Dr. Drew, Uchitel tried to escape, only to come back to the Rehab house or whatever. Uchitel might have had another reason for coming back – apparently, she’s been getting along with another patient. Wouldn’t you know, he’s married? It’s Jeremy London, he of the sketchy “kidnapped and forced to do drugs” story. Jeremy’s wife thinks he’s boning Uchitel, and Jeremy just gave an interview to Radar where he’s trying to deny it – but in the end, it sounds like he and Rachel are hitting it pretty hard:

Rachel Uchitel has been accused of charming another married man, but this time it’s Celebrity Rehab alum Jeremy London.

London’s estranged wife Melissa has told friends she believes the Mallrats and Party of Five star is involved in a romantic relationship with Uchitel, RadarOnline.com has learned.

While he stopped short of denying a romance, London told RadarOnline.com he had a strong relationship with Tiger Woods’ former mistress, someone he describes as an “amazing, intelligent and sensitive person”.

“I’m very protective of Rachel because of our friendship,” London said. “She’s been wrongfully persecuted by the media and because of what the media has done to me after I was nearly murdered, I relate to her.”

Jeremy and Melissa, who married in 2006, have had a rocky relationship. It reached its head when he was allegedly kidnapped, robbed and forced to smoke drugs during an ordeal in Palm Springs. The pair, who were together that night, later checked into rehabilitation together.

London joined the crew of Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab 4, while Melissa became an in-patient at Pasadena Recovery Center, to be treated for a prescription drug addiction.
Since completing treatment, however, the pair has separated but remained legally married.

“She said she had to get out of LA and the Hollywood scene,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

Another source told RadarOnline.com that Melissa flipped out on Jeremy after she confronted him about having a sexual relationship with Rachel Uchitel.

“Rachel and I are good friends PERIOD,” London told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
“Melissa is ridiculous… she has no idea what she’s talking about and she’s behaving like a child. Rachel is an amazing, intelligent and sensitive person; she’s a human being with human feelings.”

As RadarOnline.com revealed, Uchitel checked into a sober living facility in Malibu, California, to be close to London and other co-stars, who moved there once the show finished filming.

In an interview earlier this month, Melissa told RadarOnline.com she and Jeremy were legally separated and said there was no chance of a reconciliation between the pair.

“Right now, I can date whomever I want and he can date whomever he wants,” she said.
“Rekindling our marriage is out of the questions but I want him to be a good supportive father to our son.”

God, Jeremy sounds like he’s totally enamored. Are Rachel Uchitel’s blow jobs really that f-cking awesome? Because Tiger Woods was all over it too – she must have some kind of hidden talents that I’m just too sheltered to “get”. In any case, what a mess. And how the mighty whore has fallen too, right? Uchitel used to bone married A-listers. Now she’s stuck with Jeremy London? Poor thing.

Last week, Kelsey Grammer made a trip with his pregnant 29 year-old flight attendant girlfriend to Harry Winston, a high end jewelry store in NY, where the two happily posed for pictures before stepping inside to look at engagement rings. When Grammer was asked by a paparazzi he surely tipped off ahead of time if he planned to make it official, he said “I’ve got some other stuff I’ve got to clear up first, but that does makes some sense.” No, it makes absolutely no sense that Kelsey would get married for the fourth time when he still faces a massive legal battle over his last marriage and only just filed for divorce. In his mind, though, it “makes sense” to marry the fourth one. I’m sure the fifth one will be even younger and more fertile, not to mention naive.

The latest issue of the National Enquirer has some pretty juicy details on Kelsey’s divorce from his third wife, Camille, who was married to him for 13 years and had two of his four children (via surrogate). Camille stands to get an incredible $72 million out of the divorce, roughly half of Grammer’s earnings during their marriage. The Enquirer also has the news that Camille and Kelsey only had sex 20 times during the 13 years they were married! It sounds like this information is coming from Camille’s camp, and the way they word it makes it sound like Kelsey didn’t want to have sex with Camille, not the other way around. Here’s part of the report from the Enquirer:

“Kelsey is out of control,” one of his closest pals [tells The Enquirer] “It’s like he’s only thinking of himself and his own selfish neesd – and everyone else including his wife and kids can go to hell. Camille is beyond distraught…

“I know it sounds unbelievable, but he had sex less than 20 times in 13 years with Camille,” the source discloses, “And Kelsey, who was admired by all of his friends for seemingly beating a years-long addiction to alcohol and drugs, is secretly boozing again…”

[Camille] began to suspect there was another woman when she visited him in New York in the spring and got a very unpleasant surprise.

Camille told the doorman she was Mrs. Grammer, and he answered: “No, you’re not!” A flustered Camille showed her ID and was allowed up to the apartment, but it set off alarms,” revealed the source.

“At first, he denied everything. But finally, he confessed – and that’s when he told her to ‘grow up and get over it!’”…

After having two children – a daughter Mason, now 8, and son Jude, 6 – using surrogate mothers, Camille got another slap in the face, says the source. “Kelsey admitted he’d cheated on her and had contracted herpes… They went from very little sex to no sex at all…”

The former “Cheers” star is worth an estimated $120 million and has offered his wife 60 percent of his estate, divulged the source.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, August 30, 2010]

How cold is that to say – “grow up and get over it!”? At least Kelsey is – allegedly – willing to fork out a whopping 60% of his fortune to the wife who dealt with his crap for 13 years and raised two of his children. No wonder he never wanted sex – he was getting plenty on the side and bringing stuff home to his wife. I’ll bet he’ll be cheating on this new one after the baby comes and using the same excuses.

Queen Latifah has a girlfriend. Her name is Jeanette Jenkins (it could be spelled “Jeannette” too, various sources have it spelled both ways), and she’s a personal trainer. Latifah and Jenkins have been rumored to be dating for years – and most sources have them living together in Latifah’s New Jersey mansion. Note: the woman with Latifah in these photos is not Jeanette. This is some new girl. If you want to see Jeanette, go here – Latifah and Jeanette were both on the marital yacht of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, just a few weeks ago, looking cute. So who is this new girl that Latifah is so affectionate with in Barcelona?

Bossip doesn’t know who this chick is either: “Maybe they’re just friends but that looks like a romantic dinner and stroll in the rain to us!” I don’t know… yeah, Latifah could just be affectionate with a female friend. Or Latifah could just have special ladies in every country. Day-um, Latifah.

Earlier this week we heard that Kelsey Grammer was dating a blonde British woman named “Kate” and that she was pregnant. Kelsey just separated from his wife of 13 years a mere six weeks ago, and we were hoping that “Kate” was just bloated from all the margaritas she was drinking in order to tolerate Kelsey every night. That doesn’t seem to be the case, as Kate’s parents have allegedly confirmed the relationship to The Daily Mail, along with the fact that their 29-year old daughter, a flight attendant for Virgin Airlines, is pregnant with the actor’s baby. Kelsey and Kate were even photographed out together in New York. (We don’t have access to those pictures but you can see them on the Daily Mail. She looks embarrassed and awkward while he’s kind of gloating and posing.)

She’s an English air hostess from a family of footballers and is expecting Kelsey Grammer’s fifth child.

Kayte Walsh is the mystery blonde with whom the 55-year-old former Frasier star is said to be besotted, the Daily Mail can reveal.

At 29 she is 26 years his junior – while he is two years older than her father, ex-Bristol City player Alan Walsh.

Grammer and Miss Walsh were pictured in yesterday’s Daily Mail before her full identity emerged strolling happily together in New York just six weeks after the actor filed for divorce from his third wife.
It is not clear how the couple met, but Miss Walsh’s father confirmed last night that his daughter, who is from Bristol and works for Virgin Atlantic Airways, is pregnant with Grammer’s child.

Speaking from his £500,000 home in Portishead, Somerset, Mr Walsh told the Mail how his daughter had simply ‘hit it off’ with the actor best known for his roles in the U.S. sitcoms Frasier and Cheers.

Mr Walsh, 53, who is now a coach at Bristol City, said he and his wife Susan were happy with their daughter’s pregnancy, saying: ‘It’s great news and we are very pleased for them both.

‘I don’t know how long they have been together and I have not met him yet, but I’m looking forward to it. We just found out about her pregnancy a couple of days ago.

‘I think they met in New York socially because she works for Virgin Airways and often stops over in America.
‘The main thing is for them both to be happy and they are – they have just hit it off together.’

He added that he was a ‘big fan’ of Cheers and Frasier. Miss Walsh has a 23-year-old sister, Sophie, while her brother Phil is a football player for League One side Dagenham & Redbridge.

She is used to meeting celebrities when working in Upper Class for Virgin Atlantic on flights to and from America.

So is this why Kelsey’s marriage ended, was his wife also cheating as was rumored and/or were they separated for a while before he ran off with the stewardess? Kelsey has been in New York working on Broadway while his wife has been at home in California filming for Bravo as part of the cast of the upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. If this woman is already visibly pregnant, though, I can’t help but think that Kelsey was messing around for a while before he knocked up the mistress and was forced to tell his wife.

This may get a little more interesting, especially once the new Real Housewives season airs this fall. Kelsey doesn’t have a prenup with Camille and his estate is said to be worth millions.

Kelsy and his estranged wife:

Julianna Margulies is the September cover girl for Redbook, to promote her hit CBS show, The Good Wife. I love the way they styled her for the cover! On someone else, it might a somewhat trashy look, what with the tube-top/bustier and what appears to be mall hair, but Julianna is so rarely styled in such a clean, normal way, so this is exceptional. Much better than the overworked corpsey styling that W Magazine used earlier this year.

Anyway, Julianna continues to give great interviews – she’s a really cool woman, in my opinion, and she rides the line between being sassy and just being bluntly honest. It’s a great combo. The Redbook slideshow is here, and here are some excerpts from the interview:

On why we don’t see more women in the news as cheaters: “The answer is simple: We are tired! With all of the things we do in our lives, what woman has the time to fit in an affair?”

On cheating: “I think that when you have gotten things out of your system, you are less tempted by distractions. My only temptations now are chocolate and martinis. I think the hardest thing about cheating would not be the physical act; it would be the trust you break. If you decide to take that person back, you have to make a deal to trust again. I’m very happy with where my life is, but for someone like Alicia, whose husband has jumped in bed with a sexpot, the temptation of being sexually desirable is huge.”

On the time when she felt like a great wife: “There was one perfect day recently when I got up at 5:30 with the baby, went to work at 6:30 for 12 hours, grocery shopped, cooked dinner, and then later, my husband and I made love. We both looked at each other that night and said, “This day will never happen again!”

On how her TV career began: “ER was my breakout role. I auditioned on a whim. When I got that part, my character was originally supposed to die. At one point George Clooney called me and said, “I think you are going to live.” And I was on the show for six seasons.”

What’s worse: Knowing that you’ve been cheated on or not knowing?
“Knowing. I’m a believer in “Ignorance is bliss.”

What’s worse: Not sleeping for a day or not talking for a day?
“Not sleeping for a day. I think the whole world should try not talking for a day.”

[From Redbook]

I think they asked so many questions about infidelity because she’s on a show that deals with that issue, plus Redbook seems to be working on some kind of theme. Eh. Whatever. I love her. And I don’t even watch her show! I should start, right? Who watches it? Is it any good? Does Chris Noth appear on every episode?

Also: damn, her husband is cute!

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s romantic drama won two tabloid covers this week. First, the nicer one, OK Magazine. OK scored an interview with Paul Burrell, who was Princess Diana’s longtime butler and friend, and who was accused of stealing for Diana’s estate, only to have the royal family pull back those charges once they realized that Paul was just a decent guy who had received a bunch of stuff from Diana before she died, and had been holding on to many of her things so that the Spencer family wouldn’t destroy them (example: her extensive collection of letters). So… I’ve read Burrell’s book, and I buy his story. I think he loved and adored Diana, and while I doubt he still has contact with William and Harry, this interview does carry some weight with me. Unfortunately, OK Mag doesn’t excerpt anything interesting:

The late Princess Diana’s butler, Paul Burrell, takes OK! behind the closed doors of the palace to share all the details of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding plan — only in the new issue of OK! Paul spent decades inside the royal household, serving Queen Elizabeth II and, most famously, as Princess Diana’s personal butler, until her death in 1997.

Today, Paul lives just a few miles from Prince William and Kate’s home in North Wales. Now sharing his insider knowledge of Diana, William and royal-wedding protocol exclusively with OK!, Paul reveals why the wedding will be next year and all the “I do” details, plus Diana’s message to William and Kate, both 28.

[From OK! Magazine]

Eh. I wonder how extensive the interview really is. I wonder if Paul reveals anything beyond “They should get married.” Whatever.

Meanwhile, Star Magazine’s cover story looks crazy interesting, but alas, they haven’t released any excerpts online. Is Kate screwing around on Will? With his best friend’s brother (who, in my mind, is named Random McHorsey)?!? Would she do that? Maybe. Maybe the royal junk is malfunctioning, and a girl’s gotta get hers, you know?

The story seems solely based on these photos of Kate from July of her talking to some random dude:

Eh. Seems like nothing. The photo was taken when Kate was watching Will play polo, after all. She did it in full view of the paparazzi. Would Kate do that if she was boning the dude?

As we already mentioned, Lady Gaga is back with her ex-boyfriend Luc Carl. Luc was the dude who broke her heart and left it shattered in a million pieces, a void left unfilled until Gaga met you, her special monster. Well, several million monsters. At some point over the past few months, Gaga and Luc reunited, and there have been some photos floating around of Gaga and Luc frolicking in a pool and such. What I didn’t know – and apparently, Gaga didn’t know this either until very recently – is that Luc still technically has a girlfriend. This little kink in the works (note to Gaga: “Kink In The Works” would be a great name for a new dance song) has left Gaga “devastated”. But here’s the question: if Luc still has a girlfriend, doesn’t that mean that Gaga has been homewrecking? Does it not count when the dude’s an ex and your great love and he doesn’t tell you he’s still seeing his girlfriend?

She’s only recently been reunited with her ex-boyfriend Luc Carl. But Lady Gaga is believed to have been left devastated after discovering that the barman is still seeing his girlfriend.

According to Grazia magazine, the couple had just got back from a romantic holiday in Texas, when Gaga found out that Carl was still seeing his girlfriend.

A friend close to the star told the magazine: ‘She’s only just got back together with Luc and now she’s frightened she’s going to lose him again because she simply can’t trust him. She’s also upset because this seems to make her the “other woman”.’

Gaga, 24, and 32-year-old bar owner Luc, were snapped kissing and larking about in a hotel pool in Houston, Texas at the end of last month. The couple first dated five years ago before she shot to fame, but split over her then drug habit. But other reports suggested that he was unfaithful to her so she had a fling with her manager Rob Fusari before heading to Los Angeles to make it big.

Her friend added: ‘Gaga has built this whole career and she had to prove she could do it. But in her personal life she feels like a fool because she still can’t make the man she loves love her and only her.’

Gaga and Carl were reconciled last month but friends were concerned about the reunion, including his mother Melinda. She is quoted as saying: ‘I deliberately haven’t talked to him about what’s going on. They had a very nasty break-up last time. I have no idea how this will end.’

Gaga had her suspicions that something was not right and is said to have texted Carl’s girlfriend to find out the truth for herself.

The friend added: ‘Luc’s ex told her they were still together. She was so upset. Luc had promised Gaga he’s treat her like a princess and all the hurt was in the past. Gaga says it’s a matter of self-respect now and she may have to end it because she’s just not high enough on his list of priorities. She worries that he’s just using her for her fame and money and it’s killing her inside.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Aw, poor Gaga. This Luc guy sounds like a total douche, and I think Gaga is smart to be wary of Luc’s motives. But when Gaga loves, she loves with all of her heart, and her heart is enormous, little monsters. That is the lesson! Ugh. Sorry, I was trying to do Gaga’s Stuart Smiley-affirmation-speak and I made myself nauseous. Gaga needs to dump the douche and find some cute, straight (-ish) backup dancer and have a hot fling. Or she could go the Madonna route (ha) and find some temperamental, violent actor and recreate the Sean Penn thing. Who would be good for Gaga? Ed Westwick? OOHHH!

I know most people didn’t read my article yesterday about Fantasia Barrino’s homewrecker drama, but honestly, I’m finding all of it very interesting. Fantasia’s situation is making Alicia Keys look discreet, and Alicia got publicly called out for being Swizz’s jump-off months into their relationship. So, to recap Fantasia’s situation: She’s been boning a married man named Antwaun Cook for the part two years, allegedly. Antwaun’s wife Paula just filed for divorce, and named Fantasia as the other woman. Paula also alleges that Antwaun and Fantasia made sex tapes, and that Fantasia called Paula to tell her to back off – back off of Paula’s husband!

This new chapter: Fantasia’s manager went to TMZ to cry foul. He claims that Fantasia is “not responsible” for the breakup of the Cook’s marriage, and that “Fantasia will weather this storm with the dignity and grace that she has exemplified throughout a life in which she has repeatedly overcome obstacles and challenges. Fantasia’s faith in God, herself and family remain as strong as ever.” Oh, noes. You know it’s bad when a homewrecker starts talking about God right away. You know she was nailing that dude every chance she got.

Fantasia Barrino says she is “not responsible” for breaking up a marriage … despite allegations from a North Carolina woman named Paula Cook who claims Fantasia made sex tapes with her husband.

Fantasia’s manager, Brian Dickens, just released a statement saying the former “American Idol” champ is “certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of the Cook’s marriage.”

The statement goes on to say, “Fantasia will weather this storm with the dignity and grace that she has exemplified throughout a life in which she has repeatedly overcome obstacles and challenges. Fantasia’s faith in God, herself and family remain as strong as ever.”

As we previously reported, Paula Cook just filed for divorce from her husband Antwaun. In the court docs, Paula accused the guy of having a “covert adulterous affair” with Barrino … and believes they “recorded their illicit activity.”

UPDATE: Fantasia’s lawyer, Gena Morris, is officially on the attack — telling TMZ, “Mrs. Cook gratuitously included claims about Fantasia to sensationalize that litigation and to insure that her tale would be picked up by tabloids.”

Morris added, “The fact that she would seek such publicity in a case involving her children is particularly disgraceful.”

[From TMZ]

Eh, okay, I’ll play devil’s advocate, because that’s the way I roll: let’s say that Paula’s accusations are 100% true, or pretty close to the truth. Fantasia and her people are making a really, really horrible mistake making this about “disgraceful” this and “sensationalize” that. Because if it’s true, do you think Paula is just going to sit there and take it? No, she’s going to the press again, and this time it will be an even bigger mess. Now, let’s take it from the other side: let’s say that Paula Cook is exaggerating or flat-out lying (which I don’t think she is, honestly, but let’s go with it). Now, if you were just sitting there, minding your own business and some crazed wife came over and started accusing you of this stuff, would your response be like Fantasia’s? Mine wouldn’t. I wouldn’t mess around with the God talk (that makes you look guilty), and I wouldn’t try to “shame” a woman by saying “Not in front of your children!” I would just say, “Bitch, you crazy.” And walk away. That’s it.

One more thing: the lawyer’s wording is interesting, right? “She is not responsible for the deterioration of the Cook’s marriage.” She’s responsible for the end of the marriage, but not everything that led up to the end? Hm?

A few months ago, we heard that former Giants running back and fired Today correspondent Tiki Barber had been cheating on his pregnant wife of 11 years with a 23 year-old intern he met at work. The NY Postclaimed that Tiki had been carrying on behind his wife’s back for two years. His wife was eight months pregnant – with twins – and in the hospital when Tiki (allegedly) told her he was leaving her for his mistress, of whom she supposedly had no inkling. Tiki also has two boys with her, an eight year-old and a six year-old. Tiki’s wife filed for divorce and instead of owning up to his actions and supporting her, the douchebag cried poor and tried to deny her spousal support. He did lose his job at NBC as a result of his poor performance and the hit to his image from this scandal.

Now Tiki is trying to rewrite his past and claim that he didn’t start seeing the 23 year-old until he was already separated. Tiki and his smug ass mistress went on Entertainment Tonight to try and set the record straight. (video above.)They claim to have been only “friends” before Tiki separated from his wife, but the smirks on their faces said otherwise. Here’s more from Popeater:

“We were only friends when I was still married, I was separated, out of my house so it wasn’t until then that we took things to the next level,” he described.

She continued: “Tiki and I were romantically involved when he was separated, and plenty of people who are separated have boyfriends and girlfriends.”

Tiki hopes to keep things normal for his children. “My goal is to not have the kids suffer because of the failings of mine and my soon to be ex-wife.”

“I’m just a normal guy who had a job that people cared about, and maybe there is a standard to live up to that but it’s a hard one, for anyone,” he opined.

Tiki and his ex-wife, who announced their decision to split in April, have four children together.

[From Popeater]

How many cheating bastards have told their mistresses that they were “separated,” and how many have subsequently tried to feed the “just friends” line to their wives after they were busted? It’s so typical and lame. Of course Tiki and his wife weren’t living together when he started sleeping with the intern – his wife was in the hospital due to complications with her pregnancy. My heart bleeds for this guy and his sneering mistress. He may not have any regrets now, but he’ll probably feel much differently once he has two alimony payments a month.

Dayum. Last year, tabloids like Star Magazine began reporting that Fantasia Barrino had homewrecked her way in the marriage of a North Carolina family. Her lover’s name is Antwaun Cook, and he and his wife Paula are parents to a 1 year old and a 4 year old. Paula Cook has just filed for divorce, and in the court papers, Paula is calling out Fantasia, big time. Not only is Paula naming Fantasia as “the other woman,” Paula alleges that Fantasia and Antwaun made sex tapes. Plural. Paula is citing these sex tapes as potential proof of the affair – after all, North Carolina is one of the seven states where a wife can sue her husband’s mistress. Oh, NOES. One more thing: Paula alleges that Fantasia called her and told her to back off! That’s right: a man’s mistress called his wife and told THE WIFE to back off. Oh, Fantasia.

Court documents filed this week by a woman in North Carolina allege her husband had an affair with former “American Idol” champ Fantasia Barrino — and that the two made a sex tape.

According to docs obtained by WCNC, Paula Cook filed for child support against her estranged husband Antwaun Cook last week and cited an alleged affair between Cook and Barrino. She claims the two met at a T-Mobile store and, beginning in August 2009, began their “covert adulterous affair.”

Cook goes on to claim, “Throughout the course of their adulterous affair… Defendant/Husband and Ms. Barrino have at times recorded their illicit activity.”

His wife, Paula Cook, has filed a complaint seeking custody of the couple’s two young children, ages 1 and 4, along with child support and alimony. The complaint references a sex tape as one possible element to prove an affair.

“You can sue that third party. Most of the cases involve sex, it doesn’t have to be sex, it can be something much lower,” says Professor Beau Baez from The Charlotte School of Law.

He says that North Carolina is one of seven states where a “homewrecker” has something to worry about. They can be sued.

According to the complaint, Fantasia told Paula Cook to get lost in so many words.

Court documents show in a phone call, Fantasia says, “He don’t want you. Maybe the next time that you get a husband you’ll know how to keep him. That’s why he is here with me.”

Rumors of an affair between Barrino and Cook have been around for months — and Barrino has always denied them.

Calls to Fantasia’s management were not immediately returned.

[From TMZ and WCNC/Bossip]

Doesn’t sound like the affair was all that “covert” in my opinion, considering it was widely reported in the tabloid press and the urban blogs for a year, and considering Fantasia was all, “I know you’re married to him, but he’s mine, bitch.” Bossip has some photos of Antwaun, and he’s… actually pretty cute, honestly. Not Clive Owen or anything, but he’s a cutie. I can’t see acting this way over him, but maybe he’s good in bed or something. Or maybe Fantasia is just all kinds of wrong.
