In late September of last year MTV reality show star Bam Margera gave Howard Stern vague confirmation of his sex session with Jessica Simpson while she was still married to Nick Lachey. He said that they were drinking and it “went from there,” and that “she left at 8 in the morning.” He never denied sleeping with her, and said she had a great body at the time when he was asked.

Whether out of a need for more publicity or pressure from papa Joe, Margera is now recanting his claim in the latest issue of Penthouse Magazine. He claims his remarks were a joke or some shit and that he was just trying to give Howard Stern what he wanted.

If that’s true, why did it take him over three months to clear the air? Doesn’t he have a myspace?

In the February issue of Penthouse magazine, MTV Jackass Bam Margera tells celebrity interviewer Chaunce Hayden that he lied to Howard Stern when he said he had sex with Jessica Simpson!

When Hayden quizzed Bam about his comments on Stern regarding Simpson he replied:

“Everything is always misquoted. I never even said that [referring to having sex with Jessica Simpson]. I knew Howard [Stern] was going to pressure me into talking about it, and I dodged it as best I could.

But after an hour of the same question, you just have to make a comment to move the show along to a new topic. The comment was simply a pure joke turned into a serious quote. Total bullshit!

Chaunce Hayden: So, on the record, you never had sex with Jessica Simpson?

“Never. It was all a joke blown out of proportion. End of story.”

This rumor started way back in June, 2005 when Nick and Jessica were still married. Bam’s father Phil told a Philadelphia radio station that his son got with Jessica, and then Bam’s ex girlfriend called in to confirm the story. She said that Bam sent his friends an e-mail bragging about the encounter.

Maybe Jessica stayed over at Bam’s and nothing happened, but I doubt it.

Jessica is back to work after pissing off her dad by not taking a paid gig hosting a party on New Year’s eve. She was seen trying to look like she’s tripping on the red carpet while filming a Pizza Hut commercial. Simpson has been seen out with John Mayer several times in the past week, and he seems to be reluctantly accepting his role as her boyfriend. I don’t see those two lasting more than a few months.

Here are pictures of Jessica Simpson and John Mayer leaving Barneys on 12/30. Pictures found at TryJM via JJB.

Renee Zellwegger looks like the perfect weight at the premiere of Mrs. Potter in London this weekend. It’s wrong of me to say that, because it just perpetuates the evil cycle that these Hollywood women go through to look good, but she’s not super skinny any more and looks really healthy. Would it kill her to use some gloss on those lips though?

Zellwegger said that not having time to eat while she’s working on the movie set helps her stay thin. She also claims that she’s a little bit intimidated at the thought of working with her once-rumored lover George Clooney because he’s a notorious prankster. They will start shooting the movie “Leatherheads” together in January.

Renee Zellweger, who showed up looking svelte at Sunday night’s London premiere of her new movie, Miss Potter, credits her slim figure to her work.

She says that the 20-minute lunch breaks she was allotted while making another movie, Case 39, helped her stay fit.

“That’s all we got on the set,” the Cold Mountain Oscar winner tells PEOPLE. “At that point, I was like, you know, forget it. And running around … everywhere, that helps.”

Zellweger, 37, joked that she finds out what diet she’s on by reading media reports. “I’m like, oh, oh, I’m doing that diet now – that’s fantastic! Good for me!”

As Peter Rabbit author Beatrix Potter, Zellweger is playing an English woman for the third time, having portrayed Bridget Jones twice. It’s having an effect, too: “I understand (and) crave the beans and toast breakfast,” she says.

But when it comes to living in the high-priced British capital, “I don’t know if I can afford it,” she told reporters. “I move around so much with work that I don’t really live anywhere.”

Next up for the actress: Leatherheads, with George Clooney. Shooting starts in January.

And how does she feel about working with PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive? “I’m scared,” she admits. “I hear he’s a terrible prankster and really had patience… Like when you least expect it.”

As a result, “I’m going to be on alert, I’m never going to sleep, I’m sure of it. I’ll be watching my back, George!”

Considering that Clooney probably banged her a few times, it seems like she made a Freudian slip when she said she’ll be watching her, uh, back. Clooney is said to enjoy… entering establishments by the back door.

Renee is shown with Ewan McGregor, her costar in the film “Miss. Potter” at the premiere. (You know that people are still going to comment and say “that’s not George Clooney, duh.”) Here’s the trailer. Thanks to Faded Youth for these pictures.

The guy with the big ears who married Britney Spears in Vegas who would have made a much more suitable companion than K-Fed is speaking out - uh, again.

Britney supposedly called him last week to thank him for a positive interview he gave after her divorce became public. Alexander told People Magazine that K-Fed was an idiot and that he’d be there for Britney if she needed help. Was she testing the water to see if he might be a decent guy to rebound with?

Britney might not be so willing to talk to Alexander after reading this latest interview. Hopefully he was paid well for it because he does dish the dirt. Jason Alexander says Britney likes the ladies but that he doesn’t know firsthand whether she’s slept with a woman. He also says she had a tummy tuck after her second child was born.

He claims there’s no way he would get back with Britney again. This seems to be a turnaround from his previous statements that he still loves her. Chances are he saw her once-coveted snatch online like the rest of us.

Alexander is cashing in with a tell-all book about Britney, which may also be a reason for him to shut the door on a future relationship:

Jason also added: “All beautiful girls like other girls in some way. All girls are attracted to other girls. She found other girls attractive, yes, but we never did anything about it.

“Our relationship was about us. We just weren’t together long enough for that to come up really.” Then he teased: “That’s not to say that I don’t know anything about threesomes.

“Paris is a good friend of hers. They both have the same issues. They are both in the spotlight.

“Britney has to get out there now and be seen to be looking good and so on. She’s doing all that. She’s been locked down for two years.

“She had a tummy tuck after the birth of her second child. She’s working on all of that. She’s worth hundreds of millions — of course she looks good.

“She has the money to have surgery and nutritionists and get her body back. And now she’s focused, she is doing it. She’s motivated — she just got rid of a man.”

Jason reckons Britney’s advisers played a part in her decision to dump her dancer husband. He claimed: “Further up the ladder this is a corporate thing — and they decide about certain changes.

“Her negativity around Kevin at this point in her career had to go. She’s been out of the picture for two years and this is big business.

“She’s trying to come back, recording a new album. He refused to have any part of her life and was slowing down her career. She knows she has to get rid of all of that.”

Despite his strong feelings for his former love, he claims he would never want a relationship with her again.

He said: “There is no way I would allow anything between us now. She’s got two kids and that’s a responsibility I’m not willing to take on. Right now I’m in the prime of my life and I want my freedom.”

Jason has written a book about growing up with Britney in Louisiana. And he has promised to lift the lid on their sex life.

He said: “I have done the first treatment of the book. It’s about a small town guy and all the crazy events that happened.

“It focuses on all the stuff that no one knows.

“It’s about the marriage, my friendship with Britney and all the lines in between.

“Britney knows about it. There are things in the book that will upset her. There will be things in the book she will be mad at.

“It’s all the details of the wedding and all the stuff that’s been going on.

“It talks about everything. There is no holding back because that’s what people want to know about.

“It does feature our sex life. It does feature having sex with her and what that was like.”

I guess if you get to bang a star you should try to cash in while you still have a chance. Maybe people are right and Britney is trying to give up the goods so that a sex tape or tell-all book about her isn’t as valuable.

Britney bought 3k worth of underwear this week at the same boutique where Katie Holmes stocked up on her honeymoon lingerie and the world rolled its burning eyes.

Yesterday I ran a blind item from a questionable “lawyer’s” blog that claims that Lohan and Paris were once lovers and that’s why they’re fighting in public so much. Remember that myspace hack that allowed people to view comments on private profiles for a window of a few days last month? I saved most everything locally, and thanks to commentor Vix for reminding me that the person presumed to be Paris left a comment joking about a rendevous on what was thought to be Lindsay’s myspace.

In fact, the person said to be Paris was using a myspace icon with a picture of Paris and Lindsay together. Here’s what “BabyTink2″ said on October 17th:

its so sad our secret rendezvous at sky villa saturday is out i think we managed to keep it well hidden considering its now tuesday and its just starting to come out now we gettin good at hiding our love for each other bitch

She also joked around in Lindsay’s myspace comment section about needles and withdrawl, with someone who might have been Hilary Duff making a joke about Strawberry Nesquick:

BabyTink2 [maybe Paris] Oct 17, 2006 4:39 PM

will you hurry up with that needle bitch im gettin withdrawal symptoms lmao

fabulous [maybe Hilary Duff] Oct 17, 2006 4:36 PM

strawberry or banana and paris needs her needles back lmao

[I make no claims that these are actual comments by the people in question, so take it for what it is.]

Regardless of whether Paris and Lindsay were getting it on, they seem to have been good friends at that time since maybe-Paris was using an icon of the two of them together. Something happened that prompted their feud.

There’s this dubious “celebrity lawyer’s” blog that posts blind items that are getting picked up by Oh No They Didn’t. One of the blind items blatantly suggests that Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton were lovers and that Paris rebuffed Lindsay, leading to all their spats lately. Most commentors think it’s bullshit, but it would explain a lot if it was true:

DEVELOPING — BLIND ITEM OF THE YEAR — I keep trying to type this and I just cannot believe what the caller said. They definitely would know, but it is still unbelievable.

When this female celebrity (#1) is arguing with another female celebrity or two it has always been assumed that the argument pertained to boyfriends or some trivial matter.

As one of the female celebrities (#2) continues to go through personal problems, she is reaching out to friends with the story that she is involved in an on again and off again relationship with the other female celebrity (#1).

And that what started out as a laugh became love for celeb #2 while celeb #1 preys on those emotions and treats #2 as a plaything when she needs someone which is causing #2 to spiral out of control. — STAY TUNED –

This same blogger also caused a stir recently with a more difficult blind item about a female pop star who has been pulling a Milli Vanilli since 2000. I think it’s J.Lo, if it’s even true.

Regardless Paris and Lohan are off again, if you keep track of such things. Life & Style reports that they fought at Hyde on Monday night, with Lindsay confronting Paris right after she was making out with Stavros in front of everyone. Was she jealous perhaps?

Lindsay’s mom got involved and yelled at Stavros and Paris even fell down.

As a bespectacled Brit sat subdued in a corner booth for most of the night, Paris did what she does best: She made out with her boy toy of the minute, Stavros Niarchos, and fought with Lindsay, an insider tells Life & Style.

Shortly after Stavros embraced Paris, twirled her around and planted an endless lip-lock on her — the argument began between Paris and Linds, who has canoodled with Stavros in the past.

The girls screamed at each other until Britney stepped in to fix the situation with the promise of nicotine.

“Paris,” she told her new mentor, “let’s go smoke a cig and calm down.”

A crisis was averted — until Lindsay’s mom, Dina Lohan, decided to stick her nose into the situation by strutting over to Stavros and cornering him.

Soon after, he stomped over to Paris, grabbed her by the arm and demanded they leave. But Paris wasn’t ready. She pulled her arm back, lost her footing and ate pavement!

At that point, the Lohans had had enough and fled out the back door. Soon after, Paris, Britney and Stavros did the same and returned to Paris’ crib, where hordes of paparazzi, police and a helicopter were all lying in wait.

And if there hadn’t been enough high school drama for one evening, Paris began chanting “Firecrotch” as she exited her car. She then capped off her performance with an expletive about Lindsay.

The timing certainly seems right for Lindsay to have been jealous of Paris and Stavros’ PDA. I read somewhere else that Paris called Lohan a “coked-out whore.”

Over the weekend Lindsay approached videotaping paparazzi to publically declare that Paris hit her with a drink at a party, but then later said Paris was “her best friend” and that people were “spreading lies.” It would not surprise me if these two were bumping uglies, but given how much I’ve seen of Britney and Lindsay’s girl parts lately I don’t want to think about it.

Now that the sex tape rumors have been sort of quashed, the British tabs can go on to speculate about the tell-all book that K-Fed is supposedly planning. Some British rag made up the name of Britney’s second child, and now they’re saying she’s bi and begged K-Fed for threesomes and that he’s ready to tell all about it:

BRITNEY Spears’ jilted hubby Kevin Federline is to claim she is bisexual and begged him for three-in-a-bed romps.

Federline, 28, will say the Pop Princess regularly fantasised about women and was desperate to share one with him.

The allegations will be at the centre of a bitter custody battle for their kids Sean Preston, one, and two-month-old Jayden James.

A family source close to Federline said he was “prepared to reveal everything in court”.

The insider added: “Britney has told him more than once she is sexually attracted to women and men equally.

“She has asked Kevin many times if they could have a threesome.”

Federline is furious after Britney filed for divorce two weeks ago.

The wannabe rapper — who is penning a tell-all book — will claim Britney is guilty of a string of mishaps involving Sean Preston.

There are several reasons why I don’t believe this. Britney was all “eww” when asked if she would kiss Madonna again, and she also was said to have been pissed when Jessica Simpson asked if she could kiss her pregnant stomach for a lark. It’s possible she secretly likes chicks and was being reactionary, but she married K-Fed after all. It just doesn’t add up for me.

I was also going to make some blanket statement about how only smart open-minded vixens like Angelina are bi, but then I remembered that Paris Hilton got it on with that South American VJ, so my theory is pretty much shot. Britney did take off her pants for Paris, so maybe she’s a garden-variety experimental type.

Britney was said to be incredibly upset over a K-Fed parody skit that Jimmy Kimmel did at the AMAs right before she presented. Kimmel did a dumb monologue about K-Fed and then put a lookalike in a box and made it seem like he was dumped off a dock. I can only think of a handful of exes whose lookalikes I would like to see drowned. Britney managed to pull herself together though and come on stage. Maybe she was using the gum to calm her nerves.

K-Fed is also being courted to appear on the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother. They’re offering him nearly $300,000 which sounds like an offer he won’t refuse.

Here’s Britney leaving Paris Hilton’s AMA after party. What the hell is she wearing?

Ear-biting former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is going to work in Heidi Fleiss’ male brothel in Nevada. Prostitution is legal in Nevada outside of the city of Las Vegas, and is monitored by state agencies. Fleiss says Tyson will be her “big stalllion.” *shudder*

Former boxing champion Mike Tyson is to become a male escort after agreeing to work at legendary Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss’ new legalized brothel for women. Fleiss bought 60 acres of land in Nevada, and his work is scheduled to begin on Heidi’s Stud Farm.

She has high hopes for Tyson, once heavyweight champion of the world - despite the fact he is a convicted rapist.

She says, “I told him, ‘You’re going to be my big stallion.’ It’s every man’s fear that their girlfriend will go for Mike Tyson.”

Tyson, 40, adds, “I don’t care what any man says, it’s every man’s dream to please every woman - and get paid for it.”

Tyson was convicted of raping an 18 year-old beauty contestant 15 years ago, and served three years out of a six year sentence in prison. He bit Evander Holyfield on both his ears during a 1997 boxing match and was disqualified. He also spent nine months in jail in 1999 for beating up two people after a car accident.

Tyson declared bankruptcy in 2003 and said in a recent interview that he was considering going into the porn business to make ends meet.

Who in their right mind would pay this guy to fuck them?

Heidi Fleiss is the process of applying for a license for her stud farm, and is now accepting applications from elgible male prostitutes.

Brad Pitt was spotted at an Indian market buying a mixture of herbs known for their aphrodisiac qualities. It looks like even the hottest piece of ass has trouble satisfying the insatiable Angelina Jolie:

Speaking of magic, what was BRAD PITT thinking of conjuring up when he bought sex-enhancement powder at an open-air marketplace in Jaipur, India? Hunka-Hunka and his Hubba- Hubba, ANGELINA JOLIE, were in town working on their flick “A Mighty Heart” – but “wifey” was nowhere in sight, says My Spywitness, when Brad made his buy of “an herbal mix of Ashwagandha, Atmagupta and Gokshura, which, when combined, are supposed to be a ‘natural Viagra’…a love potion!” (Kama Sutra says: Try with curry for extra hurry!)

That might not be true, I just pick out the most sensational shit and reprint it usually.

Case in point: a couple of stories we covered about the Jolie-Pitts have been since refuted. They’re not being pursued by Al Qaeda, and Brad was praised by Jimmy Carter for working a day and a half with Habitat for Humanity, not the fifteen minutes that an Indian paper claimed.

Here is Brad at that premiere of Babel on 11/5. Thanks to SimplyBrad.com for these pictures.

Backstreet boys singer Nick Carter is gradually revealing details about his old-news relationship with Paris Hilton to make sure he gets as much press as possible for his stupid reality show. At the end of September, he said that he never abused Paris, and that “she tried to destroy me.” He then revealed in October that he cheated on Paris with Ashlee Simpson.

Now he says that Paris was shitty in bed and that she did a lot of pot. Given all the British slang and the distinctly British-educated tone to Aaron’s quotes, it’s safe to say that he may have given this news to the reporting paper, News of the World, but that they filled in the details:

Carter claims to have waited three whole weeks to bang Paris, and then to have been very dissapointed in her performance:

Paris was vain and preoccupied with spending money according to Nick.

None of this is particularly news-worthy, but since it’s negative news about Paris Hilton I figure that it’s worthwhile to print.

Nick’s reality show, “House of Carters,” premieres on British TV on November 7th. Surely that has nothing to do with all this crap he’s now spouting about Paris.

I say Matthew McConaughey because he looks like he has some hairline issues and he’s definitely a fitness freak. He has a healthy package, and it’s a shame he needs pharmaceuticals to get it to work properly - if this is about him, and it’s true and all.

McConaughey and Armstrong say they’re not gay, and that they’re just friends who like to do sweaty sports together. Hey, I buy their explanation, especially if McConaughey can’t perform.
