Jessica Simpson has dialed up the crazy. Or dialed it down, depending on your perspective and who you believe. According to several sources, Simpson has warned Jennifer Aniston to stay away from former boyfriend John Mayer. But Simpson’s friends claim it’s not what you think – Jess is just super concerned for Jennifer. What a way to spin it.

Jessica Simpson is trying to warn Jennifer Aniston to be careful with new man John Mayer, because he is a notorious “ladies man”.

The wannabe country singer, who is currently dating American football star Tony Romo, was said to be jealous that her ex-boyfriend Mayer is dating the Friends star, but sources claim the green-eyed monster people are seeing is actually just concern.

A source says via Transworld News: “Jessica wants Jen to be aware of what she’s letting herself get into with John. She doesn’t want her to make the same mistakes. John is a ladies man.”

Others are also letting the rocker’s true colours be known, with a friend of Mayer adding: “He’ll spend every waking minute talking to someone and spending time with them and then move on to the next girl,” said the friend.

Okay, a couple things here. To be fair, what was supposedly said is consistent with John Mayer’s general reputation. However if they ever had a battle of the I.Q.s, I’d put my money on Jennifer Aniston. My point being I’m pretty sure she knows John Mayer’s reputation. Either Aniston is just looking for a good time right now, or she thinks she can change him. But after Brad Pitt and her other love debacles, I’m guessing Jen is smart enough to know that’s a waste of time.

Jessica Simpson letting Jennifer Aniston know that John Mayer is a player is like her calling Jen up to remind her that she has hair on her head. It’s just a major “duh” statement. Which makes me think either Simpson’s people are trying to spin some rumor to her benefit… or Jessica Simpson is just as dumb as we all thought. And to think, Papa Joe once infamously claimed to Vanity Fair that Jess had an I.Q. of 160…

Michael Lohan sure is managing to steal a lot of attention away from Dina, especially considering this week is the premiere of her new crap-ass show Living Lohan. The Lohans have a very Charlie Sheen/Denise Richards relationship. You’re constantly trying to figure out who you hate more, and who’s the bigger liar. Although to Dina Lohan’s credit, I’ve never heard any insinuations that she used to be a prostitute. Oops.

Dina is all over the talk shows this week, trying to pimp her new show/defend her parental pimping. It’s not going so well. While you could argue that any publicity is good publicity, that’s not really the case when Dina Lohan touches something. Dina has furiously been denying that daughter Lindsay and Samantha Ronson are anything other than really good friends, despite their constant lip locks. However Michael was a little more realistic – at least for about eight minutes – and told Us Weekly that it’s obvious the two are in a relationship.

Michael Lohan isn’t playing dumb when it comes to his daughter Lindsay’s close relationship with deejay Samantha Ronson. Days after photos of them nuzzling necks in Cannes, France, surfaced, he tells Usmagazine.com in an e-mail their relationship “is evident to anyone with half a brain.”

Still, he adds, “Just like the [topless] Marilyn Monroe spread, Linds is my daughter and there are just some things a father doesn’t want to see or hear, regardless of whether they are true or false.” His daughter, 21, “is a big girl, and she can make her own life choices. Then it is between her and God.”

Michael — who volunteers for a Christian-based rehab organization — couldn’t help but take a swipe at his ex Dina (who just debuted her new E! reality show). “Maybe her mother’s life revolves around the tabloids and reports, but mine doesn’t,” Michael says. “I am into setting a good example and doing good things that don’t deceive or exploit my kids.

[From Us Weekly]

I think I’d be able to take what Michael Lohan says a little more seriously if he’d stop promoting how wonderful he is. If he just responded without sounding like he’s trying to sell himself, I might not want to slap him quite so hard.

Us Weekly and OK magazine are in some kind of feud. OK is reporting not just that Michael never made those comments, but that Us made them up, “In a desperate attempt to gain readers.” Oooohhh, snap OK. They claim to have a real interview with Michael, in which he denies ever acknowledging Lindsay’s gaiety. Yes I used that word that way on purpose. I’ve decided that’s how we describe Lindsay’s convenient level of gayness.

“I never said anything like this,” Michael explains. “I’ve never even looked at the pictures of Linds and Sam, so how can I comment on this?”

Referring to his daughter’s recent revealing pictorial in New York Magazine, he continues, “Just like the Marilyn Monroe pics, I’ve never looked at these photos either. This is just another way of some evil person spreading a vicious rumor to try to hurt my relationship with my daughter Lindsay.”

[From OK]

That’s coincidental, since Michael (or someone posing as Michael) referenced the Marilyn Monroe pictures in the Us Weekly article. I don’t see how admitting his daughter is in a lesbian relationship would hurt his own relationship with Lindsay. Considering how self-righteous her father is, it might relieve her that she could talk openly and honestly with him about it. It’s clear to everyone with eyes that Lindsay and Samantha are in a relationship. And frankly it might be one of the better decisions Lindsay’s made in a while.

Tracey Edmonds sure gets around. She was married to singer/producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds for years, and used his fame to climb up the Hollywood ladder. Tracey hasn’t done a thing herself, she’s just famous for who she dates.

After she and Babyface divorced, Tracey began dating Eddie Murphy – right after he dumped Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown, who was pregnant with his baby. Murphy and Edmonds then kinda sorta married in a on a private island off Bora Bora. It wasn’t official – they would have to do that back in the States. But there was a big hullabaloo, and they released a statement saying they weren’t going to legally marry, and then broke up.

If you were hoping the doe-eyed social climber was off the radar after the Murphy embarrassment… unfortunately that doesn’t appear to be the case. Edmonds claims she’s dating P. Diddy, and that he’s twice the man Murphy was. I bet Scary Spice would agree.

P Diddy’s latest girlfriend really knows how to hit a guy where it hurts. Tracey Edmonds has only been out with the Didster a few times but already rates him more highly than ex-husband Eddie Murphy.

Tracey, 40, who split from Murphy in January after only two weeks of marriage, claims Diddy is wittier than the comedian. That’s gotta hurt.

At party near Cannes she said: “Diddy is the funniest man I’ve ever met. I’m so lucky to find someone so soon after Eddie.

“It’s early days - we’ve only been on three or four dates - but he’s whisked me off my feet. I don’t know about wedding bells but he’s definitely the man for me.”

[From the Mirror]

The phrasing sure sound pretty contrived. But I love the idea that Diddy would ever bother to marry any woman. The man cheats on the women he’s cheating with. And then cheats on those women. I would bet that at any given moment, P Diddy is sleeping with seven different ladies, minimum. I have no idea what it would take for a woman to be the one he’d settle down with – but I’m absolutely positive that Tracey Edmonds doesn’t have it.

The pair have yet to be photographed together, even though they’re both in Cannes right now. Splash reports that they were seen shopping together at Gucci, but they don’t have any photos. I’m guessing that Diddy pulled Tracey into a coat closet a few times, and now she thinks they’re probably getting married. I bet she’s planning their faux island ceremony as we speak.

Christina Aguilera seems like someone who wouldn’t take crap from anyone, if you ask me. She has a history of violence in her childhood, but somehow I just can’t see anyone pushing her around as an adult. She’s aware of the cycle of violence, and wanted to be sure it wouldn’t continue with her new husband.

Aguilera grew up witnessing her now-estranged father Fausto emotionally and physically abusing her mother Shelly - and she was determined not to subject her children to the same heartache.

She tells Us Weekly magazine, “We had many conversations before, and I really ensured that I put myself in the position to marry someone who was not going to repeat the cycle of abuse with my child and what I had endured as a child.

“I knew that my husband is not the type to have violent tendencies, and he would never hurt me.”

Contact Music

This isn’t the first time that Christina has talked about her violent past, saying “People don’t know domestic abuse unless they’re in it. It’s not only physical abuse, but there’s damage inside - mental abuse. It’s a sad thing to go through and watch. They play with your mind and make you feel bad about yourself.”

It is so true that abuse is as much about the mind as it is about physical or verbal abuse, and it can be harder to leave than any person who hasn’t been in that situation an understand. While it might appear that Christina is in the position of power in her relationship (she has the most money, and a successful career) it isn’t just as simple as leaving. An abusive partner holds the emotional power despite these things.

In the same interview that Christina talked about her relationship with Bratman, she also talked about how she lost her pregnancy weight. Her regime involved 90-minute, 5-day-a-week workouts with a trainer, and no white bread.

Note by Celebitchy: Why does it seem like Aguilera brings up this subject every 3-4 months? Maybe interviewers constantly ask her about it, and it must have been tough to live through. You want to give her the benefit of the doubt where this difficult subject is involved, but seeing yet another story about it makes me wonder.

Justin Timberlake is nothing if not hardcore and intense. Even if you’re not a fan, it’s hard to deny that he tends to put all of himself into most everything he does. Even dating. He was serious with Britney Spears as a teenager (no easy feat); Cameron Diaz in his early twenties, and now Jessica Biel. The pair have been together for almost a year and a half, and several media outlets are reporting that Justin is planning on proposing to Jessica in the very near future. Supposedly he’s already scouting private islands for the ceremony.

He has dated some of the most beautiful women in the world but gorgeous actress Jessica Biel has finally tamed Justin Timberlake. I hear he will soon be proposing and has already started looking at potential wedding venues — or in his case, islands.

The two have been dating since January last year and rumours are rife they may already be planning a family. One source said Jessica has not been drinking recently, sparking pregnancy rumours. They added: “Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids. “For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica.

His No 1 choice is the beautiful West Indian island of Mustique. Words can’t do the place justice, although the official website comes close, describing it as: “An exclusive, 1,400-acre island in the southern Caribbean with lush, rolling terrain cooled by trade winds, surrounded by pristine white beaches and clear, aquamarine waters.”

Because it is privately owned by those who live there, he would be able to ban all paparazzi — and more importantly, Bizarre reporters — from even landing there. His friend added: “Although Justin has lived his whole life in the public eye, he feels his wedding is the one day that should remain private. To get all his close friends and family to Mustique will cost a fortune. But he can’t put a price on how he feels about Jessica.

[From the Sun]

I wonder if tabloids are aware that people get married for any other reason than impending pregnancy. Of course lately they’ve been proven right quite a bit, so I really don’t have a leg to stand on. But somehow I doubt Jessica Biel is pregnant. Justin Timberlake seems like he could be a pretty intense guy to be married to. And he very much overshadows Jessica. Maybe she’s fine with that. I don’t think I’ve heard a word about her without hearing much more about him. She wasn’t a huge star before dating him, but it seems like marrying Justin might kill any chance she has for a decent career of her own – a la Katie Holmes. Marry a big star and that’s all anyone’s going to talk about.

There were rumors that Justin had cheated on Jessica with Kate Hudson this past winter, and it seemed like they could be legitimate. But the pair are clearly going strong. I don’t even want to imagine what this will do to Britney Spears.

Here’s Justin and Jessica leaving a wedding held at the Oviatt Hotel in Los Angeles on May 4th. Is it me or is Justin looking a little gaunt? Images thanks to WENN.

It seems like dating Lance Armstrong is a rite of passage for Owen Wilson’s ex-girlfriends. Kate Hudson is now dating Owen’s good friend Lance… just like Wilson’s other ex-girlfriend Sheryl Crow. Apparently the pair have been dating for about three weeks – nearly immediately after Hudson and Wilson’s split. She originally met Lance through Owen. Let’s hope these two are such good friends that they don’t mind when one dates the other’s exes.

They both have reputations as heartbreakers. Now glamorous blonde actress Kate Hudson has embarked on a passionate affair with seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. The news will be wearily familiar for film star Owen Wilson, Miss Hudson’s ex-boyfriend. He had previously had a three-year romance with singer Sheryl Crow – only to see Armstrong move in after they split and get engaged to the pop star. Armstrong, 36, may have a tough time explaining himself to Wilson – the fellow Texans are, or were, close friends. On Friday, Miss Hudson, the daughter of Goldie Hawn, flew to join new boyfriend Lance at his home in Austin, Texas, for a romantic weekend together.

A source said: “Kate and Lance have been dating for a couple of weeks. She thought it was funny when people were writing recently that she was engaged to Owen because the reality was that they had split again and she was secretly seeing Lance.

“She and Lance are both physical, passionate people – she’s never been happier.” Miss Hudson started dating Armstrong after sparks flew at a private New York dinner party. The source said: “They have known each other for a while and Lance is one of Owen’s good friends. “When Kate was with Owen, she got to know Lance really well but they hooked up again recently at a dinner party thrown by a mutual friend and that’s when the romance began. They have both been keeping it very quiet.”

[From the Daily Mail]

By all accounts Wilson and Hudson’s second split was not a friendly one at all. Supposedly there was a lot of shouting, and they are no longer on speaking terms. That makes you wonder what must be going on between supposed good friends Owen and Lance. If I had a bitter breakup with someone, and then my good friend started dating that person, I’d be pretty damn pissed. You’d think Lance would have a little more class than that… especially the second time around.

OK! Magazine is claiming that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are about to get engaged “any day now.” The pair have been dating for what seems like forever in Hollywood, and impending marriage rumors have been dogging them since day one. Well that, and “they’re not really a couple” rumors. And “he’s gay,” rumors. And “they’re just doing it for publicity” rumors. But the last three of those have faded away over the last six months or so, as the couple seemingly has no reason to stay together except that they’re in love.

Sitting in a cozy booth at the Hominy Grill in Charleston, S.C., on May 3, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were the picture of happiness. Though the cheery couple, who arrived holding hands, brought their appetites, their minds weren’t on food. “They couldn’t keep their eyes off each other,” Hominy Grill manager Brandy Mangum tells OK!. “The entire time, he was so attentive. It was really sweet. They really do make the perfect couple.”

Friends of the pair say it won’t be long now before Jake pops the question to his lady love. “They’ve been talking marriage for a while,” a source close to Reese reveals to OK!. “They’ll be formally engaged any day now. They want to spend the rest of their lives together.”

But don’t expect these two to go down the route of so many Hollywood couples who move in together and start families before getting hitched. “This is a very serious relationship,” the Oscar-winner’s pal explains. “But Reese is very conservative and traditional. I’m sure she doesn’t want her kids to see her ‘living in sin.’”

[From OK!]

From what most people say about Jake Gyllenhaal, he’s pretty conservative and traditional too. I never really understood why people thought Reese and Jake weren’t really a couple. Their timing was pretty coincidental, given the release of their movie Rendition. But they seem to make a lot of sense together, in many ways that Reese and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe didn’t.

Jake’s rep told OK! that there were no “immediate plans for a wedding.” Which is at least better than a no comment. And to me, that just says they’re not eloping next week. There has also been a lot of “Is Reese pregnant” gossip lately. I bet they’ll be getting engaged any day now.

It is REALLY hard to get a picture of Reese and Jake together. I’m not sure if they’re one of those couple that go out of their way not to be photographed together or what, but the best I could find are pictures of them 8 feet apart. Maybe that’s what led to some of those other rumors. Here they are out for dinner with friends on the Lower East Side in New York City on March 3rd. Images thanks to Splash.

Cynthia Nixon’s romance with her girlfriend of four years caught a lot of people by surprise. And it’s no wonder – Nixon had been with her boyfriend for fifteen years, had two kids with him, and had never before been with a woman. But when you fall in love, you fall in love. Nixon says that while she never had any desire to marry her boyfriend, she’d marry girlfriend Christine Marinoni if she could do so legally.

“If it becomes legal, I think we would,” Cynthia tells The Mirror. “It’s something my girlfriend is interested in and it was not something my boyfriend ever was. I think that to get married to her would be a little act of rebellion. It’s like if you’ve never had the vote and then you get it you’re going to run out there and vote.”

Always “very wary” of marriage, the 42-year-old admits she consciously avoided exchanging vows with Danny Mozes, her boyfriend of 15 years and father of her children, Samantha, 11, and Charles, 5, because “I felt like it was potentially a trap. People sometimes want the party, the gifts and the public celebration of this big love - they’re excited about that rather than about the lifetime commitment,” Cynthia says. “So I always steered clear of it.”

She continues, “I had been with men all my life and I had never met a woman I had fallen in love with before. But when I did, it didn’t seem so strange. “I don’t define myself. I’m just a woman in love with another woman.”

[From OK! Magazine]

Cynthia also said she never felt the need to come out of the closet, because she never felt that she was in a closet. The way she says it is a little unclear in terms of her orientation, but the way she speaks openly about love is really beautiful. She notes, “I met this woman and I fell in love with her. In terms of my sexual orientation, I don’t really feel that I changed. I don’t feel any different than I did before.”

It is interesting that she says she’d probably want to marry, but phrases it, “It’s something my girlfriend is interested in…” instead of saying it’s something both she and Christine are interested in. The phrasing makes it sound more like it’s something her girlfriend wants to do, and Nixon’s okay with going along with it. But obviously if she’s talking so publicly about it, one would assume she’s pretty into the idea. That could make for a pretty interesting reality “Sex & the City” show.

Eva Mendes seems to be getting back on track after her unexpected trip to rehab earlier this year. The actress has even rekindled her romance of six years with hunky filmmaker George Gargurevich. The pair took a break shortly before Eva quietly slipped off to rehab, but now things are back on.

Eva Mendes is getting her relationship with her longtime boyfriend back on track. Eva and filmmaker George Gargurevich, who have been dating for six years, went through a rocky phase when Eva entered rehab at Cirque Lodge in Utah this winter, says an insider.

“The distance was hard on them,” the source tells Star.

But now that she’s out of rehab and living a clean lifestyle, she and George are tighter than ever. They even adopted a Belgian Malinois pup named Hugo.

“George is a rock for Eva. She truly loves him.”

[From Star magazine print version, May 5, 2008]

While I don’t really get why people make such a big deal out of Eva, I am glad to see that she straightened herself out and seems to be reconnecting with people who are positive influences in her life and encourage her sobriety- unlike other certain starlet rehab vets we could name. Eva and George seem like a low key, loving couple. Hopefully they can work it out.

Note by Celebitchy: Just Jared has photos from two years ago of Eva out with her longterm boyfriend George, but I checked Just Jared and PopSugar and couldn’t find any recent photos of the two together. Star has a photo of them that accompanies this story, but it’s unclear if it’s new.

This girl never learns. First, the entire world sees what a crappy life partner she is on the ill-fated reality show “Newlyweds,” chronicling the first year of her marriage to Nick Lachey. Now, Jessica is telling all the cringeworthy details of her relationship with football player Tony Romo in a magazine interview with Glamour, including how they met (it involves her creepy Papa, surprise!), how she almost threw up on their first date, and how she calls him her “Future husband.” Now I feel like throwing up.

Us Weekly reports in its latest issue (on newsstands now) that Jessica Simpson is calling Tony Romo her “future husband.”

Now, she tells the June issue of Glamour, that she is “in love” with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, whom she says helped her gain more confidence.

She says she even wrote him a song, “Back in My Old Boots.”

“He reintroduced me to myself,” Simpson says. “I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. You change with the guys you date.

“Tony taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again,” she adds.
…She says Romo first caught her eye while she was going through her divorce with Nick Lachey.

“My family and I were watching a Cowboys game … and — Tony would die if I told you this — but [on TV there was a story] about him,” she says. “They said his celebrity dream crush was Jessica Simpson.

“My family was like, ‘Did you just hear that?’” she goes on. “His picture came up, and I’m like, ‘He’s really cute.’ Then I heard [that I was his crush], and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh!’”

They met a year-and-a-half later after a pal introduced Tony to her dad, Joe Simpson.

After Tony spotted Jessica and Joe at the Country Music Awards last November, “Tony e-mailed my dad, ‘Cute date,’” Simpson reveals.

“My dad was like, ‘Look what Tony said,’ Simpson says. “I said, ‘Give him my e-mail address. We’ll see if he’s good with words.’ Then he e-mailed me, and we flirted over e-mail and on the phone.”

She says they got to know each other “by talking, which I think is the best way.”
On their first date, Simpson admits, “I had butterflies that you would not imagine. I wanted to puke in the cup holder … It took me forever to put together an outfit!”

He tried to kiss her on their first date. “I was taken aback….

“The fact that this guy, on our first date, in the first 10 minutes of dinner, wanted to lean over the table and say, ‘This is my girl, and I want to kiss her’ — our first kiss in front of everybody — was awesome,” she says.

[From Us Weekly]

I think I just lost two I.Q. points reading that. Can’t you just hear the stupid in her voice? And what exactly did she learn from Tony- that it’s okay to be her stupid, shallow self? Wow, what a great couple. But, I guess since nobody asks Jessica questions about her career anymore, this crap is all she has left to talk about.
