• Carla Bruni has agreed to appear in a Woody Allen film, which will mark the singer and French first lady's first acting role. During an interview on a French TV show she said that she doesn't know what role she'll play, but she said yes anyway. "I'd like to - you know - when I'm a grandmother, to have done a Woody Allen film. I cannot in my life miss an opportunity like this." So, how does she think she'll do in front of the camera? "I'm not at all an actress. Maybe I'll be absolutely terrible," she says. We're no huge fans of Woody Allen, but we think that this idea is the opposite of terrible—unless she ends up playing Woody's love interest. That would the terrible. [UKPA]

• Nadya Suleman is the tabloid gift that keeps on giving. While promoting "documentary" OctoMom: Me & My Fourteen Kids (I love how calling a reality show a documentary somehow dignifies it?) she explains that she open to having more children ("If I get married one day...") and that, after realizing she was pregnant with octuplets, she refused to selectively reduce the embryos, "Because which one should I have murdered? Noah? Isaiah? You know, Jonah?" Apparently the kids know that not-murder isn't actually that great, because there's a clip of one of the kids nailing her in the face with a screwdriver. Forget Nadya—the documentary I want to see is what happens when these kids grow up and attempt to make their way in the world with the curse of Suleman hanging over their heads. They should really consider changing their names. [HuffPo]

• What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve? Well a bunch of singers are making significant bank. Rihanna is raking in $500K for a performance in Abu Dhabi. The gig is a make good for a May concert date that she had to cancel thanks to Chris Brown's fists. Alicia Keys is only have the woman Rihanna is, or at least her salary is. She will only make $250K for a concert here in New York. Also in town will be Green Day performing live on NBC. Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden will be hosting a party in Vegas, and so will Christina Aguilera. It's good to know where all the losers will be on December 31. If you want to find they gays, they'll be in Miami, where Lady Gaga is rumored to ring in the new year in some ridiculous get up. [P6]

• Now that Rosie O'Donnell's breakup from her partner is public, she says that she is not enjoying the single life. No wonder, because her escort to her annual charity gala Rosie's Broadway Extravaganza was her 15-year son, Parker. It's like the opposite of taking your mom to the prom. [People]

[Gawker night editor Azaria Jagger wrote the funnier parts of this round up]

1. "We've been saving this one for Thanksgiving time and you should know this story happened last year at a certain Celebrity's Thanksgiving table. It's no secret to the guests that came, but we still thought it was pretty interesting/strange and wanted to share it. Last year, this actress who has bragged about her cooking skills in the past, made a great Thanksgiving dinner for her friends and family. The dinner had a theme: Each guest was asked to bring a side dish laced with their favorite recreational drug of choice. The dinner was a hit, and full of crazy antics afterwards. Not Eva Longoria." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This celebrity couple is spinning some tall tales this Thanksgiving. They have each told their respective families that they can't attend Thanksgiving with them because their spouse has a film commitment out of town and they need to accompany them. Not true. Neither of them are working that day. They are actually just turning off their phones and staying home. Just them and the kid/s… and one spouse's Significant Other. How are they going to keep the kid/s quiet about how they really spent the holiday? Well, these two are such experienced liars, we'll bet their genes have already been passed down to the next generation." [Blind Gossip]

3. "Which up and coming Twilight actress lied about her background and said she lost her birth certificate so she would qualify for her part? She has told everyone she is adopted and Native/First Nations, but in reality has biological parents who raised her and is most definitely not Native/First Nations." [CDaN]

1. "We're not even sure why the magazines keep pushing it, but this couple who are said to be romantically involved, are actually nothing but. Sure, they're having fun playing with the press, but it's mostly because they are told it would be a good marketing strategy for their career. Everyone around them knows however, that they are just good friends, not lovers. One in all the media buzz is actually rumored to swing the other way. Not Chace Crawford." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This is the fourth time this actress has had her breasts done. The first time was supposed to be a simple enlargement. After kids she had them done a second time. While many women have breasts that don't match perfectly, hers were so lopsided that she had to wear an insert to even them out. The third time, the breasts were evenly sized, but looked rather cross-eyed if they weren't taped into position. Now they're perfect. But don't expect her to disclose any of this any time soon. She's had plenty of other plastic surgeries, and still denies, denies, denies she's ever had any work done." [Blind Gossip]

1. "There is a film that won't be in the theaters for at least another year. The schedule got pushed back because of casting issues. They were casting the male and female leads at approximately the same time. However, as soon as the female lead found out that a certain actor was ready to sign on the project, she bailed out, and the role had to be recast. The reason? The actress had some history with the actor. No, they hadn't dated before. But the actor did have a torrid affair with the actress' ex while they were dating. Instead of blaming her ex, she blamed the actor. She thinks that the actor is so charismatic and so charming that he must have manipulated her ex into doing something the ex greatly regretted down the road. There is still a lot of bad blood among the three of them. A couple of extra hints: the ex is also in the acting biz, and all three of these people usually have dark hair." [Blind Gossip]

2. "You just never know when and where you will run into a former A list television actor and producer and now a stumbling C list parody. Anyway, on Wednesday, our actor was in a drug store in Aldergrove, British Columbia, looking at herbal supplements. While he was looking a fellow customer grazed our actor with her basket. At that point our actor said, "watch where you are going," and being in Canada hip checked the woman into a neighboring shelf. The actor was in the store looking for a special herb. Why? The herb is the only one our actor trusts for eliminating the odor of booze on his breath. Our actor was also kicked out of a pizza place the night before for being drunk. The only time in the history of the place it had ever kicked out anyone." [CDaN]

3. "This female singer has a very unique hair style. She said she came up with the idea on her own. I'm sure she did after the fact. It was necessitated though by the fact she got into a fight with her idiot A list singer/producer boyfriend who took a pair of scissors and cut huge chunks of hair off our female singer's head." [CDaN]

4. "So what do you do if you are a brand new C list celebutard who in your mind thinks you are A list? Why you go up to women and start hitting on them and generally making an ass of yourself. This is especially evident when you walk up to a C+/B- list television actress from a hit for this network drama who is already known for not being friendly and who responds to the horrible pick up lines by saying, "Who in the f**k are you? Are you 12?" When the celebutard answered her our actress just laughed and turned away and told our celebutard to find someone else. Our celebutard then walked away with his bodyguard in tow. Yes, he really has a bodyguard and it really is funny." [CDaN]

1. "This married/aging actress has put up with a lot throughout her celebrity marriage. She's practically raised the kids on her own, dealt with scandals and cheating and still managed to put on a happy face on the red carpet. Within this next year, she plans to finally leave her husband and make the divorce public. The current final straw? Not other women or drugs, but an addiction to World of Warcraft. We kid you not. Not Catherine Zeta Jones" [BuzzFoto]

2. "There is an actor on a television series who seems like he would be an interesting character to live with. That might not be the case for his wife, however. A couple of weeks ago, our actor came home from work a lot earlier than usual and found his wife in the hot tub with a neighbor of theirs. The neighbor, who is also an actor, is best known for his role on a classic TV show. The wife and neighbor, who were sitting on the same side of the hot tub and were somewhat intertwined when the actor emerged from the house, both jumped up, obviously startled. The neighbor explained that they were in the hot tub together because he had pulled his hamstring muscle playing tennis earlier that day, and the actor's wife had been kind enough to let him use the hot tub, to show him some stretching exercises, and to share a glass of wine with him. While we don't know if there is a generally accepted seating plan when it comes to neighbors and hot tubs, we think that this particular arrangement sounds mighty suspicious." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This former B list tween female singer and now a messed up D has made some very bad decisions over the past year or so but none compare to the one she made at a party in the past few nights. Since breaking up with her D list reality boyfriend she has been on the lookout for someone who can help with her career and put her back in the spotlight. Well, she found a B list rap star and he has been helping her out and paying for expenses, providing her drugs and has promised to help her with her new record. Everything was going fine until the party the other night when he threatened to take it all away unless she orally serviced a few of his friends at the party. She did. Stay tuned because she is going to a bigger party this week." [CDaN]

1. "This Hollywood Nice Guy Actor is actually anything but. We hear rumors, but cannot confirm, that he is actually very physically and verbally abusive to his spouse and family. This happens when he drinks mostly, but lately, he's back into the hard, hard drugs and then his antics get worse. He has brought women home and the wife has had to be the one to kick them out and help sober up the star. She's staying with him because she believes it would hurt the children more if they separated and she's worried about public image. Not Matt Damon." [BuzzFoto]

2. "There has been a lot of speculation over the past couple of months about her weight gain. Well, she's pregnant. However, due to a previous miscarriage, she will not be announcing until the cocoon is well into the second trimester. Will she start wearing more clothes when she becomes a mother? We hope so. Frankly, we think the girl is way too obsessed with spandex." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This really good looking A list movie actor has always had some questions raised about his sexuality. It turns out though that his female significant other is the one who, with the full knowledge of our actor has had a very long term affair with another woman who is also her business partner." [CDaN]

As you can see, the power couple made up a professional My First Contract™, in which Jon agrees to "employ Kate Major as a personal assistant handling some but not all future contracts," and pay her "a percentage," of something. In return, Kate says she will "run any media inquiries past Jon Gosselin," and "not make any negative or disparaging remarks." Just your average run-of-the-mill pre-fucking mutual consent agreement.

Since Jon immediately started/ never stopped fucking other people, and Kate immediately ran off to give teary interviews on national television, I guess they came out even. Are contracts written in crayon legally enforceable?

1. "This celebrity had a little malfunction last week. No, it wasn't a wardrobe malfunction (although she does have great style). It was a technical malfunction. Our celebrity, a television actress, is dating a non-famous guy. While she was out socializing late one night last week, she sent him a very private text message… along with a revealing photo of a private part of her anatomy. Unfortunately, instead of sending it to her boyfriend, she sent it to his mother (whose name was right below his in her directory). Whoops. The morals of this story – which we would love to see as a PSA – are: Don't drink and drive. Don't drink and text. Don't drink and photograph your hooha." [Blind Gossip]

2. "This A list female celebrity chef was overheard in a restaurant the other day. Nothing unusual about that right? I mean people are nosy and we strain our ears. Well, it turns out this celebrity chef who is married was discussing an affair she recently had with this B list male singer with A list name recognition and reputation. She wasn't shy about discussing the details either. I mean explicit, graphic details about what the two did to each other. Nothing out of the ordinary, but definitely not shy in recounting every last act. It does appear to have been a one time thing, but this is totally not what you expect from our chef and the image she tries to portray to the public." [CDaN]

3. "This Celebrity A/B list Dad, who is very loving and by all accounts a great father, has been dealing with a wayward child. The child, who has cost his family lots of time, money and energy because of his antics is now knee-deep into drugs. Along with that comes some very bad connections that can be very harmful and dangerous. Our celeb father has tried countless times to help his son, and after several interventions and other attempts, has never given up. We just heard from a source that this son just robbed his dad and took a large amount of money as well as priceless items to feed his addiction and to pay off some of these bad people. We will not be revealing this one because it is such a hard and private matter and we believe the dad has acted like any loving father would. We just thought it was an interesting story to share and maybe more commonplace than everyone would like to think. Not Tom Hanks." [BuzzFoto]

BW's new editor will be Josh Tyrangiel, the editor of Time.com. He replaces Steven Adler, who left BW last month after Bloomberg took over. One might reasonably speculate that Tyrangiel was a familiar name to Norm Pearlstine, the former Time editor who now runs Bloomberg's content. Funny Tyrangiel Wikipedia line: "In journalistic circles, Tyrangiel is postulated to be the successor to Richard Stengel, the current editor of TIME." Has inaccuracy been found on Wikipedia? From BW's own report:

In some media circles, Tyrangiel was considered a leading candidate to succeed Time managing editor Richard Stengel. According to sources, Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes was so impressed with Tyrangiel that he tried to recruit him to be come the editor of CNN.com, the online arm of the 24-hour cable news channel, but Time Inc.'s current editor-in-chief John Huey intervened and convinced Tyrangiel to stay at Time with the promise that he might one day succeed Stengel.

Separately, we hear (unconfirmed) rumors that the long-expected post-sale BW layoffs have now started. One tipster tells us: "No word yet on how deep, but seems like a lot... Sounds like edit and ad sales are tomorrow, all other business functions are today." UPDATE: "3 people in marketing and 2 in finance" have been let go, our tipster says.

And as for the effect of Tyrangiel's departure on Time, which is itself in the midst of cutbacks: A tipster tells us that the savings there from Tyrangiel's departing salary means fewer people will get laid off. Which is good news, because the tipster says that "the deadline for volunteers at TIME is tomorrow in new york. after that they'll move swiftly to lay people off in new york, london and hong kong."

We've contacted Bloomberg and we'll update when we learn more. Please forward all internal memos and tips on this here.

UPDATE: This is the memo that went out at BW yesterday—some believe the "meetings" it references will include layoff notifications.

To: BusinessWeek Employees

From: Norman Pearlstine and Chris Walters
Bloomberg/BusinessWeek Integration Report #3

We are pleased to provide a progress report as we enter the last two weeks of the integration process.

Since our previous update on November 5, we have met or spoken with hundreds of you at departmental roundtable discussions. Thank you for your candor, insight and thoughtfulness on ways to make BusinessWeek even better. We took away many new ideas and better clarity on each department's priorities, concerns and accomplishments. In turn, we hope you took away a sense of our respect and excitement for the future of BusinessWeek.

At the same time, a selection process has been underway in many areas. This week, BusinessWeek staff members (except in Europe and countries where local requirements govern the process) will be invited to a meeting (in person or by telephone) to learn next steps. During the first half of the week, meetings will be held with Marketing, Communications & Events; Circulation and Production; Finance; Technology, and Digital. The remainder of the week will be spent with Sales and Sales Development, and Editorial. You'll be notified of the time and place separately.

One-hour information sessions will be scheduled on Thursday and Friday for U.S.-based employees receiving offers from Bloomberg to learn about benefits, policies and programs. Additional new hire orientation and terminal training will be provided after December 1. Employees outside of the U.S. will also receive similar information in the near future.

If you are moving to a Bloomberg office on December 4, you will receive information on logistics, your new address and general telephone number, and moving boxes. BusinessWeek marketing will provide electronic "change of address" cards to notify clients of your new location. Your "businessweek.com" email address will remain in effect.

Along with McGraw-Hill, we are striving to make the process as smooth and respectful as possible. We are very mindful that this transition will be emotional for everyone, and ask for your continued patience and consideration.

Sincerely,

Norman Pearlstine
Chief Content Officer

1. "This B- list television (hit network drama)and movie (meh) actress is known for being adventurous sexually but her latest twist is something that goes into a whole new realm. Over the past few years she has been seeing one particular C list cable actor and in the past few months he has been seeing not only the actress but also her mom. The actress knows about it, encourages it and makes it a condition of their continued romance." [CDaN]

2. "This television star has gained a lot of weight over the past couple of years. Because this has been an ongoing issue, s/he has started seeing a therapist to get to the root of the problem. It turns out that the star's hypocrisy in living one life in public – and a different one in private – creates anxiety and depression which, in turn, trigger binge eating. According to the therapist, the issue will not be resolved until our star comes out of the closet. The star is actually considering it, but is worried about the timing of the announcement, and its potential career and financial impact. Will their career wither? Will their finances suffer? While we don't know for sure, we do know that a competitor who has done so is thriving in a similar career." [Blind Gossip]

3. "Over the weekend, this award winning actress, who is supposed to be sober, was hardly discreet at the dinner table of an event when she did a line of cocaine that was in her compact. Not Christina Ricci." [BuzzFoto]

4. "There is a blog called PostSecret where people send in anonymous secrets and confessions in the form of a postcard. A current postcard reads " The morning after you hit our 10-year-old daughter, we all stood there and watched as a fan asked you for your autograph." The postcard is not embellished, and no other clues are given. Who could it be?" [Blind Gossip]

We hear that Sheryl Berk, formerly editor of Life&Style, is coming in as the new top editorial person. We're not sure what her title will be, but the staff is supposedly being informed right now. Our tipster says that this was all finalized over the weekend by Paul Ashford, editorial director of Northern & Shell, the British publishing group that owns OK!.

How prestigious is this position? Well, we hear that Sheryl will be allowed to work from home. Because the competition for the gig wasn't too stiff. Among those who turned down the job, we hear: Dan Wakeford, current EIC at Life&Style; Alpha Kitty Atoosa Rubenstein; and In Touch editor Richard Spencer.

And Sheryl has a fun work environment to look forward to: We also hear that she doesn't get along with OK!'s Mark Pasetsky, who she used to work with at Life & Style. Allegedly, Berk once had an argument with him that ended with her vowing, "Karma is a bitch." She was right!

1. "These two celebrity couples aren't super close friends in public, but it's clear that they know each other. Everyone knows that the male half of Couple A used to work with the female half of Couple B over a period of time. Yes, we know, there were rumors flying around at the time that those two were involved in an off-screen fling. Although it was good publicity for the project, it's not true. But there was something more insidious going on behind the scenes. Something that didn't make the tabloids.

It turns out the female half of Couple A and the male half of Couple B were both so distraught over the rumors that their mates were cheating on them that they wound up spending a lot of time comforting each other. The comforting became so frequent and so physical that it resulted in a pregnancy. Now Couple A raising a child that is only half theirs. Fortunately for them, the child looks more like the Couple A mother than the Couple B father, but those in the know can definitely see the Couple B father in the facial features. One additional hint: all of the people involved have been actors at some point." [Blind Gossip]

Our tipster says she met Janka—who introduced himself as "Connor slash Paul but all my friends call me Connor"—a few months ago. Although they were barely acquainted, he proceeded to buy her a plane ticket to Rome, and invited her to come and stay with him at a friend's villa there, where they would frolic in a paradise of earthly delights. Or, as he put it in an email to her,

I bought your ticket. You should get an email shortly.
Make sure to get a waxing; I'm going to make all your holes very sore.

The young lady had second thoughts about the wisdom of joining this man she barely knew for a week in a secluded villa far away from any human help, so she declined his offer. She says, "to his defense he was upfront about wanting to have sex with me so at least he's honest in that sense, he is just NOT tactful about his approach." For example, he wanted to meet her at the airport and drive straight to the villa, to fuck. When she was wavering, he sent her the sexxxy photos you see here to help persuade her to come. After she decided not to take the trip, she says, he told her, "it's a shame you decided to get clever and fuck it all up for yourself."

But the story has a happy ending! Despite turning down Janka's hospitality, our tipster says "he still periodically contacts me with texts like 'want some coffee and want it up the ass?'" True love overcomes all.

1. "This engaged star goofed up last month. Although he is set to be married sometime in the future, and seems like a devoted boyfriend, we hear he had a little 'slip' in a nightclub bathroom. Our source said the cheating happened in the men's room, but will not comment if the other person involved was male or female. Not John Krasinski." [BuzzFoto]

2. "He is the lead actor of a current television series. He comes across as such a nice normal guy that it is hard to believe he is really odd behind closed doors. He likes it rough. No, not like "spank my butt" rough. More like "use your stiletto heel to step on my privates" rough. He can't get his wife to engage in these activities, but there are several women on the side with four-inch heels at the ready." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This actress/member of band/reality star recently had an operation to restore a good portion of one of her ears. She and her boyfriend got into an argument. He got her in a headlock and pulled all of her earrings out without removing the backs. With makeup and her long hair she can hide it from a distance but up close it is a mess and parts of her ear are a different color than others." [CDaN]

1. "This famous celebrity husband (mostly known for comedy) with a non-famous wife has convinced his spouse that every couple in Hollywood has threesomes. His wife was incredibly reluctant and refused for years, but he's threatened divorced and told her that bringing in another partner into their marriage just comes with the territory when you marry someone famous. Our source says the wife seems really insecure about the marriage and worried that she is going to lose the star, has finally decided to hire a prostitute for his upcoming birthday. Not Steve Carell." [BuzzFoto]

2. "This actor has been fighting off rumors about his sexuality for years. That's why it is curious that he isn't publicly announcing that he is engaged to be married to a very pretty girl. You would think that he would want to shout it from the hill tops, and soak up all the hetero kudos it would bring him. Instead, he's keeping it very quiet. We can only think of three reasons for this. First, that he is not as committed as the engagement implies. Second, that he doesn't want to scare off potential gay partners. Third, that he doesn't want any attention. Wait, scratch that last one. He loves the limelight. We smell disaster all over this one." [Blind Gossip]

3. "Which young urban act filmed themselves on their mobile phones shagging groupies then sat around watching the footage together on their tour bus? They invited one of their crew to join, or at the very least watch, but when he made excuses on account of the fact that he had a wife at home, the boys were incredibly apologetic and told him they didn't mean to disrespect his wife. How sweet." [PopBitch]

1. "He's a movie star, he is married, and he is gay. Out of respect for his wife, though, he only allows a boy in his bed when either one of the couple is traveling. Thoughtful, right? Well, it's rather creepy, because the last couple of guys he has been with bear a strange resemblance to his wife. So is he picking the boys because they resemble his wife, or did he pick his wife because she resembles the kind of boy he likes? Hard to say, but in either case, he has no intention of coming out of the closet any time soon. Oh, and yes, they are practically boys. He likes them young, but is pretty careful about them being of legal age." [Blind Gossip]

2. "This married A list television reality producer has always had a revolving door policy when it comes to the women with whom he has sex. However it seems that he has finally found just one woman he wants to have as his mistress and has cast the others aside. He wants to remain faithful to this mistress who also happens to be a B list reality star who seems to never have a boyfriend that sticks. Now you know why." [CDaN]

3. "This TV actor has been out of work for some time now, occasionally picking up spots here or there. (You might have even seen him in a commercial or two). He recently had a huge movie deal offer where he could play the supporting role of a very big name, but he turned it down because he felt it was beneath him. Not John Lehr." [BuzzFoto]

1. "These Celebrity BFFs are now settled in their lives and careers. Over drinks this last weekend, one of the stars told our source that in the beginning of the friendship, the ladies weren't sure if their budding friendship was something more. So, to test the waters, the two had a little make-out session, and got the urge out of their systems. After the little romp, the two laughed it off and decided their chemistry was strictly platonic. The two have been good buddies every since. Not Jennifer Aniston." [Buzz Foto]

2. "This good-looking and award-winning male actor has always been known as being rather vain. That's why it should come as no surprise that he is asked the director to help him mask his weight gain (he is a good 25-35 pounds heavier than when he first landed the role). He is especially self-conscious about how he appears when filmed from the side. We don't think he looks that bad with the extra weight (he has always been built like a tank), but the wardrobe person has fitted him with a men's compression girdle to help smooth him out. Just don't expect to see him unbuttoning his suit any time soon." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This Twilight star has joked about their big role before to the press, downplaying the appeal of the plot and movie and books. The star revealed to our source that they have now actually read the books and now has become a huge fan! Not Rob Pattinson." [Buzz Foto]

1. "Apparently this former B list movie actor and now probably a C, although with close to A name recognition has been scrambling because his beard relationship with his C list movie actress could be sinking quickly. The reason? Our actor thought he was on a private beach when he decided to lay out naked with his boyfriend. The next thing he knew, there were groups of tourists from a nearby hotel walking by and he is scared that someone recognized him and took pictures." [CDaN]

2. "This Hollywood couple's marriage is on the rocks. He may be the more famous of the two, but she has definitely been an important trophy wife for him. Since he still wants to save his marriage, it would be extremely inappropriate for him to be seen dating anyone. So, instead, he has been hiring girls for overnight dates at several thousand dollars a pop. Since he only lasts about five minutes, the girls are making about one thousand dollars a minute. However, they are obliged to stay awake while he whines on for hours about how upset he is that his marriage is falling apart. Does anyone else see the irony here?" [Blind Gossip]

3. "This C list television and movie actress has had quite the ride the past few years. She is probably as famous for one of her past relationships as she is for her acting. Anyway she used to be on a fairly hit cable show until two things happened. The producers of the show got tired of having their B+ list star of the show having sex with her and the star was starting to smoke too much meth with her to the point that nothing was getting done except the pair of them having sex and smoking meth." [CDaN]

1. "Dr. Arnie Klein – Michael Jackson's dermatologist – just did an interview with Harvey Levin of TMZ. One of the topics they discussed was Michael Jackson's peculiar habit of whipping out his privates in front of other people (including children) to pee in a cup so that he wouldn't have to walk down the hallway to the bathroom. Dr. Klein said he didn't think that the habit was all that unusual. Then he told a short story of a female country singer he knew. He said that she told him that when she lived in the country, she would purposely pee in the bed every night just to stay warm. Who might he be talking about?" [Blind Gossip]

2. "Remember when we told you about the wealthy singer who brings in a body-double for a wife, you know, to rub his feet and take care of him for her? Well, we heard that she also brings in a 'sex instructor' who coaches the husband on how to pleasure her correctly. The husband watches as the instructor demonstrates on the singer what's right and what's wrong. Not Christina Aguilera." [BuzzFoto]

3. "Which huge pop star is the subject of a ridiculous whispering campaign claiming he's the subject of an underage sex police investigation?" [PopBitch]

4. "This former B list television actress and now C list movie actress has been single for awhile. Maybe not for long though. At a recent event, our actress was supposed to walk the runway at a fashion show. When her time to walk approached, no one could find her. People were running around looking for her. They finally found her, umm, in her dressing room in the midst of full on sex. When told she needed to be on stage that second, she jumped up, pulled down her dress and walked the runway." [CDaN]

1. "This B/C list Celebrity will announce her upcoming pregnancy soon, but don't be fooled; it's a stunt. Sure, it's legit. There's a real life baby in her belly, but what her boyfriend doesn't know is that she skipped her pills on purpose because she feared an impending breakup. We know there are rumors of his wandering eye, and maybe she thought a child would refocus his vision. Not Ashlee Simpson (although we wouldn't be surprised to hear her make a similar announcement in the upcoming months)." [BuzzFoto]

2. "You may already know that this family has one child in trouble. Perhaps it's the result of his famous acting parents constant fighting. Will they ever go their separate ways? He's not the only kid in his family acting out, though. Daddy's little princess is also into the kinds of things that horrify parents – alcohol, drugs, and sex. Yep. All three. It's all pretty hush-hush at this point, but you might see a second surprise hit the press pretty soon." [Blind Gossip]

3. "This A list female country singer was hired to shoot a video of her just talking. She was given the script ahead of time and had cue cards at the ready. She came in the morning after a concert in a nearby town and was put in hair and makeup. A room was especially decorated for her to shoot the video in. The building was cleared for only essential people and the camera started rolling. And rolling. And rolling. Because for all of her posturing and songs of "I am a strong, smart woman" our singer couldn't even read her cue cards right. Also, "uh" is one of the main words in her vocabulary. The crew, ever the professionals, stuck it out waiting for her to get her few lines right. After a few hours, the director called it a day and said they have what they need and proceeds to try to edit those few lines into something passable. He had to use a lot more video of her singing then he thought he would but he made it work." [CDaN]
