Linda Hogan and Charley Hill: It’s Over!



You won’t believe this, but the relationship between 52-year old Linda Hogan and her 23-year old fiance is over.

The ex-wife of wrestler Hulk Hogan announced she was engaged to Charley Hill in July 2010. But nearly two years later, she has posted on her Facebook page:

“Ok… My status has changed. I am now single. After the great therapy we had together and time to think and concentrate on who we are and who we want to be, Charley and I decided that we should each travel through life in different directions.”

Hogan then sent a special message to her fans, raising the question: Linda Hogan has fans?!?

“But, thank you all for always being so supportive of our relationship and choices. I hope that you all understand and are not be too terribly disappointed. Love you!” she wrote.

Linda divorced Hulk one year prior to agreeing to marry Hill, and later accused the former WWE grappler of abuse.

Steve Jones was fired from The X Factor because viewers did not like the host very much.

Based on his annoying persona below, we can understand why.

Now a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight, the Brit explains in this video that he was asked ahead of time to not ask any personal questions of Megan Fox during an interview meant to be based on her new Sharper Image campaign. So what did that genius, snarky journalist go ahead and do?

Skirt around the pregnancy issue by making up some nonsense about men wanting babies as a “gadget.” Watch Fox do her best to handle the disrespect and blatant breaking of the rules below, prior to her publicist ending the interview early:

Chris Harrison and Wife Gwen: It’s Over!



The Bachelor host Chris Harrison and his wife of over 18 years, Gwen, are divorcing.

The couple announced their separation “after much heartfelt consideration” today.

“Though we have made this incredibly difficult decision to separate, our love and mutual respect remain, and we look forward to sharing in the lives of our wonderful children,” Chris and Gwen said in a joint statement Thursday.

Chris Harrison, Wife

Harrison, 40, is best known for hosting ABC’s The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. In 2010, he was accused on-screen of hitting on a producer’s wife.

At the time, he was hardly ruffled by the “cheap shot” of controversial contestant Rozlyn Papa. “I had nothing to hide,” he said. “My wife was there.”

The couple live 35 miles from Hollywood with their kids Joshua, 9, and Taylor, 7.

Harrison, who coaches both kids’ soccer teams, is “an amazing father,” Gwen says. “He’s very loving and involved.” He’s also amazing at his job.

No word if he will also be the next Bachelor, but Harrison will be back running the show for its popular spinoff (see Bachelorette spoilers) May 14.

Secret Service Agents Dismissed in Colombia, Scandal Erupts Over Alleged Prostitution Use



A dozen Secret Service agents have been removed from their posts in Colombia, U.S. officials confirm, following incidents of “misconduct” that sources say relate to at least one refusing to pay a prostitute for her services.

The agents were stationed in that country ahead of President Obama’s arrival for the Summit of the Americas, which started today.

Obama and Agents

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan has not yet disclosed the nature of the allegations that resulted in replacing these agents with new ones, though insiders tell The Washington Post that at least one agent solicited a prostitute – the act is legal in certain Colombian areas – who then went to the police when she was not paid.

None of those relieved of duty was a member of the President’s security detail.

Ronald Kessler, the author of “In the President’s Service” and a former reporter for The Washington Post, told CBS News this represents “the biggest scandal in Secret Service history” and marks a “tremendous embarrassment to the U.S.”

Bubba Watson Wins The Masters in Playoff Over Louis Oosthuizen



American Bubba Watson won golf’s most prestigious tournament, The Masters, in a wild and dramatic playoff over South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen Sunday in Augusta, Ga.

Both turned in unbelievable shots during and en route to the sudden death clash. Watson effectively sealed it with his second shot on the second playoff hole.

After a wayward tee shot left him stranded in the trees with little or no direct angle toward the hole, Bubba somehow pulled off this ridiculous iron stroke:

Earlier in the day, on the second hole, Oosthuizen catapulted himself into the lead with the ever rare double eagle, or albatross – a 2 on a par 5! Watch here:

Rihanna Smacks Down Reporter Over Ill-Timed Ashton Kutcher Question



Rihanna politely put a reporter in her place after being asked a question about her alleged recent dalliance with Ashton Kutcher at a press conference in London this week.

In the UK promoting her new film Battleship, Rihanna was asked by a ballsy member of the press if the Two and a Half Men star would be visiting her there.

Her response? Far from rude, but even farther from happy:

“Wow … how disappointing was that question,” the 24-year-old singer replied, adding pointedly, “I’m happy and I’m single, if that’s what you’re really asking.”

Demi Moore is glad she cleared that up. The rest of us are just scratching our heads at how that even came up at a big-time press event for Battleship.

Rihanna and Ashton Kutcher allegedly hooked up earlier this month, though there is no proof of this other than a report that she visited his pad late night.

There were no photos and TMZ even took down the story, making it even wilder that someone had the nerve to ask a made-for celebrity gossip question.

Pregnant Snooki Ready to Turn Over a New Leaf, “Transition Into Adulthood” (Yeah Right)



The fact that someone got Snooki pregnant is truly a scary thought.

Fortunately, it looks like the Jersey Shore star herself got the memo.

According to those close to the MTV train wreck, she’s undergoing a major personal transformation, determined to become a responsible member of society who takes pregnancy and impending motherhood very, very seriously.

It’s okay, you can laugh. We did.

Jionni and Snooki Pic

Sources close to Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi say that ever since discovered she was expecting her first child, she quit drinking, quit screwing around and convinced the people around her that she could not only handle it, but be “mother of the year.”

We’ll believe that when we see it. No offense Snook.

Snooki does come from a loving family and despite being a total drunken promiscuous mess, understands what it takes to become a responsible mother.

As far as her upcoming Jersey Shore spinoff goes?

At least one baby store has agreed to let her film there, but don’t expect her life to continue to unfold in the public eye for too much longer. The premise of the spinoff with BFF JWoww is that it’s the girls’ “last hurrah.”

The untitled show will follow the girls’ transition into adulthood – moving into an adult apartment, taking some serious adult steps with their boyfriends, etc.

Speaking of which, Jionni LaValle is the father of her child. Supposedly.

Snooki hasn’t confirmed the pregnancy, though the cat is out of the bag, and she’s with Jionni still … so it seems likely he’s the father. Likely.

The boyfriends (Jionni and Roger Williams) will not have starring roles on the show … but the relationships will be “key.” So, there’s that.

Rush Limbaugh Losing Sponsors Over Sandra Fluke “Slut” Remarks



Rush Limbaugh is literally paying for the comments he made this week about Sandra Fluke.

On Thursday, the Georgetown University Law School student – who has been a vocal supporter of the Obama administration’s decision to require insurance companies, even those used by religiously-affiliated employers, to cover the cost of contraception – was denied a chance to speak at a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing on religious liberty and birth control.

She proceeded, though, to take part in a press conference in which Fluke told the story of a friend who was prescribed birth control to deal with ovarian cysts; could not afford the cost when school insurance refused to pay for it; and has since suffered grave medical consequences as a result.

Fluke also said the price of birth control in general can be thousands a year. Limbaugh’s response?

He referred to Fluke as a “slut” and a “prostitute” and added:

“If we’re going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.”

Limbaugh said that her speech made it clear “she’s having so much sex she can’t pay for it, and we should.”

(NOTE TO RUSH: That’s not how birth control works. You don’t pop a pill each time you have intercourse.)

The issue has since taken on national prominence, with President Obama even calling Fluke and telling her her parents ought to be proud of her actions. And now the scandal has hit the Internet.

The hashtag #BoycottRush has spread around Twitter and two Facebook pages calling for a boycott have garnered more than 18,000 and 6,000 Likes by this morning. Moreover, nine companies – including Legal Zoom, Citrix Success, Heart and Body Extract, AutoZone and Quicken Loans – have pulled ads from Limbaugh’s show.

Where do you stand on this issue? Should Limbaugh have referred to the student as a “slut?

Whitney Houston Family: Devastated Over National Enquirer Photo



The family of Whitney Houston is reacting to The National Enquirer posting a photo of that singer’s corpse as you might expect: with outrage and heartbreak.

TMZ cites sources who say Whitney’s mother, Cissy, is especially distraught over the tabloid actually taking this measure, but there are no plans to open any kind of investigation into the source of this photo, which the newspaper has the nerve to refer to as “beautiful.”

Enquirer Cover

Meanwhile, Carolyn Whigham, owner of the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, tells The Daily News that neither she nor her staff had anything to do with the image or its leak.

“We did not take that photo. We did not sell the photo. We would never do something like that,” she said to the newspaper. “Whitney was a friend. I’m the one who flew to Los Angeles and got Whitney from the coroner’s office. I did everything to protect her.”

Tommy Jordan, North Carolina Dad, Shoots Daughter’s Laptop Nine Times Over Facebook Posts



Tommy Jordan, a North Carolina dad, recently taught his teenage daughter the hard way to show some respect – and that nothing on the Internet is really private.

He pulled out a gun and pumped nine bullets into her laptop – on camera.

When her dad discovered a Facebook rant that she thought she had blocked from him, he decided to respond in a way that will certainly never be forgotten.

Jordan, of Albemarle, N.C., posted this video on YouTube, responding to his daughter Hannah’s post, in which she complained about having to do chores:

“I’m not your damn slave,” Tommy, who works in IT and discovered the post when adding software to her laptop to upgrade it, read from Hannah’s post.

“We have a cleaning lady for a reason.”

After continuing to read his 15-year-old’s missive, he fired bullets into her computer from a .45 handgun. That’s one way to get your point across.

Jordan also addresses Hannah on camera in the video, saying that she can clean up the house and get a new computer if she pays for one herself.

Tommy also noted that Hannah must pay him back for the bullets and software he just installed. Ouch. No laws were broken, and there will be no investigation.

Just the same, the father’s actions have sparked controversy and discussion, with some finding it way out of line, and others praising his backbone.

“Maybe a few kids can take something away from this,” he wrote on YouTube.

“If you’re so disrespectful as to post this kind of thing on Facebook, you’re deserving of some tough love. Today, my daughter is getting a dose of tough love.”
