Another suspect Suri sighting and TomKat aids accident victims


Suri was said to have attended the birthday party of Jada Pinkett and Will Smith's son, Jaden, but there are no pictures and the wording of the description given by the supposed eyewitness is suspect. They use the same description of the baby that we've heard before "dark, curly hair," "no physical deformities," and "looks like Tom." It could be because that's how the baby actually looks, or because someone is feeding these lines to the press.

Does this sound true to you?

According to the eyewitness: "Suri is a beautiful baby. She had no deformities that I could see! She has a gorgeous head full of dark, curly hair, and she resembles both parents, though she looks slightly more like Tom."

Tom and Katie Holmes appeared relaxed at the party, which was held at a roller-skating rink.

Adds the snitch: "Sadly, they did not attempt to roller-skate."

Meanwhile Katie and Tom are said to have "comforted accident victims" when they stopped to check on a couple after they were involved in a crash:

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes helped comfort a pair of shaken accident victims Saturday night, PEOPLE has learned.

A rep for the couple confirms that Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, were on their way home from the airport after a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, for an exhibition soccer game (their friend David Beckham and his team, Real Madrid, beat Real Salt Lake 2-0), when they saw a couple on L.A.'s 101 Freeway who had apparently just been in a car accident.

The engaged pair and parents to 4-month-old daughter Suri checked to make sure the passengers, Jon Henningsen and his wife, were not seriously injured, then waited with them until the police and fire department arrived on the scene.

I don't believe any of this. What's wrong with me? Everything about Tom and Katie seems like it's fake to me and I have trouble buying this story.

The person who posted this story on Oh No They Didn't, Chung Chung, says "I call bullshit," and that he/she remembers a similar story coming out about Tom helping an accident victim about ten years ago. If it was Matthew McConaughey, I would say it's true, but Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? I doubt it.

Jen and Vince deny deny deny


Vince and Jen were engaged for three hours yesterday, and everyone was tentatively happy for gloomy Aniston. Not even a well-Photoshopped magazine cover with a fake headline can get these two together publically, because they denied the rumor almost as soon as it was out. But - hold your horses - Jennifer's publicist is known for his baldfaced lies, so this could possibly be true!

Despite making a joint appearance on Us Weekly's latest cover under the blaring headline, "Vince Proposes! Jen Says Yes!," Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn remain unengaged, according to the former Friends star's rep.

"It is not true--they are not engaged," Stephen Huvane told E! News on Wednesday.

Of course, as Us Weekly was only too happy to point out on its Website, Huvane has a history of issuing denials over reports that later turned out to be accurate.

For example, in November 1999, when Aniston was spotting wearing a diamond sparkler on her left ring finger, Huvane denied that she was engaged to Brad Pitt, claiming the bauble was "not an engagement ring," and he continued to deny that the pair planned to marry up until their June 29, 2000 wedding.

In December 2004, two weeks before Pitt and Aniston announced their split, Huvane maintained that all was well in their union. "They are looking forward to spending the holidays with each other. There is no split. They are fine," he told Us Weekly.

In February 2005, Huvane denied reports that Aniston planned to move back into her former Hollywood Hills home, claiming it had been leased out to Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. Lo and behold, the couple was asked to move out that month so that Aniston could move back in later that year.

Finally, when rumors that Aniston and Vaughn were dating first surfaced in July 2005, Huvane denied there was any romantic interest. "Vince is a good friend of Jennifer's. I think the tabloids are so eager to see her with someone romantically that they just make these false assumptions," he told the New York Post.

When Jen and Vince go out of their way to avoid each other publically, and Vince is completely unable to acknowledge the relationship, it makes it obvious that he's unwilling to commit.

If US Weekly is right and there is an actual engagement, it seems like a last-ditch effort by Vince to keep Jen. He strikes me as the type of guy you can never pin down who would only ask Jen to marry him if he had no other options. My last boyfriend before I met my husband was like that. I dealt with his indecision for two years before that lousy relationship finally bit the dust. You can't get blood out of a stone, and a man won't change for you. Instead of trying to get a pet or focusing on other things, you should trade those type of guys in for a better model.

This doesn't make sense though, because aren't they supposed to be planning a huge wedding now? If they just got engaged at this point - and even if they didn't, logic dictates that all the wedding stories are false. People don't plan weddings before they're engaged.

Nicole Kidman: maybe not pregnant


No wonder these poor celebrities work their asses off at the gym and plastic surgeon's office. A little bloat and the Internets and celebrity glossies declare they're pregnant. Poor Nicole lost her imaginary baby bump in a miscarriage of gossip this week. She was photographed outside her gym with a perfectly flat tummy poking out of her top.

Nicole Kidman joined her new husband, country singer Keith Urban, on the opening night of his North American tour in Ontario, Canada. Kidman did not join her husband on stage, but he made a reference to her, dedicating his song "Making Memories of Us," to "my lovely bride." He also told concert-goers that he was "happy to join the married crowd".

Security at the concert was beefed up after a local radio station said they would pay $75,000 for a picture of the famous newlyweds kissing.

Here is Nicole Kidman with her skinny stomach. [via]

Britney and Kevin are not doing another Chaotic


There were reports that Britney was planning a "Chaotic 2" to further pound her stardom into the ground, but that was yet another piece of fake news embellished by the British tabloids. They always put some bit of UK slang in there to give it away.

"I know that things are fine, but this show will put paid to those rumors finally."

Perez Hilton called Britney's rep, who denied that Britney was dumb enough to make another "Chaotic". Plus Kevin would have to be around long enough to make the film.

Just like the rumor that Britney was going to give birth in Namibia, this originated with the satirical site "Postcards from the Pug Bus" and was picked up as real news, with fake quotes added for good measure, by the tabloids.

Here is K-Fed shopping for junk food on July 3rd. He looks awful. It was so much nicer to check out pictures of cutie Perry Taylor. [via] Oh - the gossip rags are reporting that Sean Preston was calling manny Perry "Da Da" and that's part of the reason why K-Fed had him canned.

Nicole Kidman did invite Tom Cruise to her wedding


Australian gossip rags are reporting that Nicole Kidman did invite her ex, Tom Cruise, to her wedding with Keith Urban last weekend. He didn't attend, but sent his regards. His two adopted children with Kidman did attend:

The 39-year-old star apparently invited Tom and present squeeze Katie Holmes – who have a daughter Suri - to the wedding in her native Sydney, Australia.

Oz tabloids claim to have seen copies of the invite, which would have followed the correct wedding/ex-partner etiquette if Cruise and Holmes were unavailable to attend.

While Cruise and Kidman's adopted children from their marriage, Isabelle and Connor, were both at last Sunday's ceremony, the Mission: Impossible star was nowhere to be seen, but a source told the Sunday Mirror that the actor sent his best wishes instead.

"Tom wished Nicole all the best and was pleased all the troubles between them were over. He also said how much he hoped she finds joy," a friend told the paper.

Earlier reports that Tom sent Nicole a picture of Suri for her 39th birthday with the message "a very nappy birthday" were false, and were undoubtedly made up in England, where most of the fake gossip originates and nappy is a common colloquialism for diaper. Nicole was also said to have wished "mother and baby well" after the birth of Suri, but that turned out to be made up, too. It could be true that Tom sent his regards after the wedding, but we'll probably never know.

Nicole and Keith are back in Nashville after departing their honeymoon in Tahiti on Saturday. They left at night to avoid photographers, and boarded a jetboat to a chartered flight, which took them to the Island nation's capital, where they caught a private jet home. Their honeymoon was probably not as peaceful as they were hoping, considering that Eva Longoria and Tony Parker crashed their resort.

Nicole is no longer on pregnancy watch after she was photographed looking super-fit in a bikini. Both she and Keith are headed back to work:

The Oscar-winning actress, who is rarely seen in anything revealing, was photographed in a turquoise and white bikini showing off an amazingly toned abdomen, putting to rest any rumours she was pregnant.

The celebrity couple are set to get straight back to work - Urban kicks off the first show of his tour in Ontario, Canada on July 13 and Kidman is due to start filming her next movie, The Lady From Shanghai.

Here are lower resolution pictures of Nicole and Keith on their honeymoon, and some higher resolution candids of them back in Nashville. [via]

Nicole did not have a miscarriage right before the wedding


I bought The National Enquirer partially due to the headline "Nicole's Miscarriage Secret: The heartbreak behind her wedding." The headline makes it seem as if Nicole was pregnant, as everyone has been speculating, but lost the baby right before her wedding to Keith Urban - just like Brenda on "Six Feet Under." This wasn't the case at all.

All the Enquirer did was recycle the old story of Nicole's miscarriages during her marriage to half-pint Tom Cruise and present it as some big exclusive that caused her pain during her nuptuals. This is a cheap trick to sell papers, and it worked:

A heartbreaking miscarriage secret tormented Nicole Kidman even as she immersed herself in the joy of her wedding to Keith Urban, the Enquirer has learned exclusively.

The Oscar-winning actress is now terrified that she won't be able to bear a child for new husband Keith, say sources.

"Nicole must be haunted by the miscarriage she suffered after first husband Tom Cruise walked out on her," a source revealed.

"She also apparently suffered an ectopic pregnancy in the past and has dealt with a series of medical issues.

I think losing two pregnancies weighs heavily on Nicole's mind. And now that she's almost 40, her chances of carrying a child to term are less then they were when she was younger."

(From The National Enquirer print version)

How is that news? We already knew Nicole had a miscarriage, and someone speculating that it bothers her does not make the story an exclusive. It's also deceptive of the Enquirer to market it this way.

It may be a new revelation that Nicole had a second miscarriage, though. The "insider" says she had the ectopic pregnancy right before she married Tom in 1990.

That's sad for Nicole, but it's ancient history. Nicole is supposedly worried if she can carry a baby now, but who knows if that's true. She may or may not be pregnant, and we'll just have to wait it out and see.

The Enquirer did have one redeeming feature in the deceptive article - an inset featuring Nicole's men throughout the years. Did you know she dated rapper Q-tip? I didn't.

Here is a picture of the article as well as some high res pictures of Nicole and Keith in the lobby of their hotel the day after their wedding. They are carrying a present for Keith's father, as it was his birthday. The happy couple is now honeymooning in Tahiti. [via]

Britney is not going to Namibia to give birth


A satirical site called Postcards from the Pug Bus carried a pretty funny and mildly convincing article that proported that Britney told Matt Lauer in her upcoming interview that she's going to give birth in Namibia just like Angelina. Postcards from the Pug Bus is like The Onion and makes up funny shit that kind of sounds true.

The article was picked up and run as a real story by China Daily, Playfuls, and even Toronto's Fashion Monitor! It was then covered in I'm not Obsessed, The Dark Hat, and Best Week Ever Blog. I'm not Obsessed ran it with the title "This cannot be true," and Best Week Ever could have known it was fake since they've run other stories from Pug Bus. (Thanks to WeSmirch for making this "research" extra easy.)

Britney would make a dumb-ass decision like that, and with yesterday's news that she changed her baby on the floor of a Victoria's Secret, it's easy to believe.

The first half of the Pug Bus article contains real details about the interview that are already known. The quotes that follow about Namibia give away the fact that this is made up:

Mr. Lauer did ask Ms. Spears why she had chosen Namibia for the birth of her child. "Kevin has always been a fan of African-American culture," she replied. "I'm sure he'll feel at home there, rapping with all the natives. Besides, there's lots of quiet unpaved roads where Sean Preston and I can go driving."

Ms. Spears also said that Namibia reminds her of California "because it's on the ocean and there's lots of sand. So if Sean Preston fell off his swing and landed on his head, there's less chance he would be hurt and we'd have those snoops from child welfare up our butts all the time."

Finally, said Ms. Spears, "I heard that Namibia has laws that let celebrities say whether or not journalists are allowed in the country. That's so important, even more important than getting the same villa that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had."

The China Daily and Playfuls articles contained all these improbable quotes, but the Fashion Monitor runs it without any quotes, making it seem like pure delicious fact.

There's a new video of pregnant Britney at the beach that you can access at BreatheHeavy.com, where we also snagged the header image.

Renee Zellweger warns Nicole Kidman not to marry a country star


Renee Zellweger has reportedly told Nicole Kidman that all country stars who like to make money are terrible husbands, or something like that:

The 'Bridget Jones' Diary' star has reportedly begged her actress friend not to wed fiancé Keith Urban on June 25 because he is a workaholic just like her ex-husband, country music star Kenny Chesney.

A friend of Renée's told Britain's Grazia magazine: "She's been saying to Nicole, 'You won't know till your married and it's too late'.

"She says Keith has all the signs of being a workaholic and that is dangerous for Nicole and her family."

Nicole's father is also believed to have reservations about the marriage after his acView the profile for Nicole Kidman on Celebrity Spotlightress daughter - who has two adopted children from her marriage to Tom Cruise - refused to make Keith sign a pre-nuptial agreement.

A source revealed: "Her dad is against Nicole getting married without a pre-nup, but her mum thinks she should follow her heart."

The 'Moulin Rouge' star has invited 80 close friends and family to her nuptials at Sydney's Mary MacKillop Chapel next week, and has arranged for Australian celebrity chef Luke Mangan to cook a wedding breakfast for all the guests.

What about Keith being an alcoholic, not just a workaholic, and an ex-drug addict and philanderer?

The source is some random British magazine, and most of the British rags make shit up wholesale, so we don't really believe this. It sounds like something a gossip writer would come up with.

Meanwhile some priest who claims to have advised Kidman and Urban on their wedding is said to be revealing private details about it.

The priest, Father Paul Coleman, says he counseled the Kidmans on Nicole’s decision to get married again, so that the ceremony could be a legit Catholic one. Coleman told CNS, “For Nicole, you know this is a spiritual homecoming, coming back to the church and her faith in her old parish."

Coleman claims that the wedding will not take place at Sydney's Mary MacKillop Chapel or Monte Sant'Angelo Mercy College - the two locations that have received the most buzz in the gossip world. He says that those places are not "large enough to accommodate such a social wedding." Indeed, if you count the Australian celebrity guests alone, this wedding may be the A-list event of the year. The Morning Herald reports that attendees may include Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Baz Luhrmann and Rupert Murdoch.

And while Bette Midler denied recent rumors that she would be performing at the nuptials, there may be some star-powered singing that night after all. News of the World, a British newspaper, is reporting that Keith may do some crooning during the reception.

Someone made that priest up, because no clergy member would give their real name and reveal details like that to the press. Maybe we're grumpy today, but people want to get news about the Urban-Kidman wedding and are just pulling this out of their asses.

Namibia kisses Brangelina's ass; Jen to confront Angelina?


The president of Namibia has supposedly written a personal letter of gratitude to Angelina Jolie to thank her for doing more for the African nation by choosing to pop out her baby there than his tourism budget for the next century:

President Sam Nujoma is so grateful for the way the actress and her partner Brad Pitt turned the eyes of the world towards his country, he has sent them a personal note, according to American magazine In Touch.

President Nujoma writes: "For the first time ever, our entire nation can agree on something - how wonderful it is that you chose Namibia for your special day.

"You didn't just birth a child but a new era for our new country. If we are the UN's baby, then you, as one of its greatest supporters, are among its founding mothers.

"Never forget, you and your family will always have a home here."

The President is among those attempting to push a Namibian new national day - to mark baby Shiloh's May birth.

If it's true that Namibia is going to declare Shiloh's birthday a national holiday that just seems like overkill after this over-the-top letter. Angelina is a "founding mother" of Namibia indeed. Do you think someone made this shit up? It sounds too good to be true. Of course Namibia is grateful but this letter is too much.

In related fake news, Star is saying that chain-smoking Aniston plans to confront Angelina for being a homewrecker. I totally doubt this is true.

Star also claims that Angelina wants to move back to France as soon as Brad is finished filming "Oceans 13," and that Brad wants to get married but Angelina's against it.That sounds more likely. From their e-mail newsletter:

A source tells Star that the couple will reside in the US as long as Brad’s filming and then head to Paris when he’s finished. Angelina told a friend that she likes Paris because, “French law strictly limits intrusions by paparazzi- and the locals’ attitude helps, too. ‘People there,’ she told her friend, ‘just disregard us.’” The second issue the couple has to address is whether or not to hire a nanny. Angelina says she, “didn’t have three kids so she could leave them with someone. She insists on being a full-time, hands-on mom.” Brad is determined to hire a nanny to make time for the two of them. However, Angelina “wants to show him that she can be the perfect lover and the perfect mom…If that doesn’t work, she’ll deal with the nanny question then.” Lastly, is the thought of marriage. Brad wants to be married but Angelina is against it, “To Angelina, marriage is just a formality – and I don’t think she needs it to prove her devotion.”

This is not big news since Angelina has been calling the shots and already dragged the family to her mother's native France. No matter where they go they'll be hounded by photographers, though, because there were plenty of pictures of the Jolie-Pitts when they were in Paris.

It's all well and good for Angelina to say she doesn't need a nanny when she already has a chef, maid, and personal security staff to do her bidding. It must be easier to focus on your role as mother when there aren't a ton of other things to do.

Cele|bitchy week in review: fake news


Our distrust in the gossip industry peaked this week, with several rumors being debunked, and fake quotes circulating like wildfire.

  • The week started out with news of Ellen Degeneres' big win and a large picture post from last Friday's Daytime Emmy Awards.

  • Star Jones showed her smug plastic face and unconvincingly altered cleavage at the Daytime Emmys. It came out yesterday that she may have been exposed to HIV while undergoing gastric bypass surgery, and that Oprah's best friend Gayle King may replace her on The View

  • Stars strutted their stuff with their favorite designers at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum in NY. The theme was British fashion, and a herbally-enhanced Sienna Miller presided over the festivities in a too-short gold sequined dress and messy hair.

  • Brad Pitt flew back to America to get help for Zahara's medical condition, rickets. Angelina Jolie was said to want a water birth, and all sorts of other tidbits were circulating about the Jolie-Pitts. It turned out that none of those rumors were true.

  • Also in the "fake news" department was Britney Spears' much-awaited press conference on Thursday. The news was based on a quote from a fictional Sony executive. Britney also is said to be having a baby girl, and will be monitored by Children and Family Services as a result of Sean Preston's fall.

  • Crazy Tom Cruise was all over the place promoting Mission Impossible 3 and giving adjective-strewn quotes. Cruise was in Mexico City, on The Late Show, storming NY, and making kissy-face with "Kate" in LA.

    One thing he didn't do was oversee Katie's fitness program with Buff Brides. We know the creator of Buff Brides, Sue Fleming, and she assured us that she never met Katie Holmes and did not say that Tom was managing her post baby shape-up plan.

  • Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos broke up, and Paris promptly shacked up and partied with a newly minted pro football player. Lindsay Lohan may have stolen Stavros away from Paris, but she doesn't seem to care much. Stavros wasn't satisfied with Lohan and staged a drunken pity party outside of Paris' house. She gave him some mercy sex as a consolation prize.

  • Lindsay Lohan still wants to try to clean up her image with a vague plan for some humanitarian work. She attended the Minnesota premiere of A Prarie Home Companion, and got told to put out her cigarette by Cameron Diaz while at a NY Club.

  • Nicole Richie partied at Coachella, admitted that she's too thin and has sought help, and will appear in a retouched spread and interview in Vanity Fair.

  • Michelle Rodriguez got out of jail, likes hot lesbian action, and had her character killed off Lost this week. She appeared on on Good Morning America and on Total Request Live in a see through top. While she admitted that she needs to grow up, she doesn't seem too concerned about her second DUI arrest and short imprisonment.

  • Jessica Simpson may be hooking up with her ex, Nick Lachey, in secret hotel trysts, and she may also be interested in hooking up with poorly endowed singer James Blunt.

    Britney Spears press conference was a hoax


    Everyone was waiting with baited breath to see what Britney Spears would announce in her press conference yesterday. I even got up early to catch the news and was suprised that it wasn't listed in the Google Entertainment News section yet.

    It turns out that now our week of bullshit gossip news is complete, because the entire press conference was a hoax:

    A well place [sic] Los Angeles source has told The National Ledger that the presser is a hoax.

    "Since I wasn't invited - I would hope so."

    Sony executive Karen Phillips was quoted by wire service WENN on Wednesday as saying, "Britney hasn't held a press conference in so long that we know it's something big - pregnancy, a split, we're not sure."

    But alas - Brit is silent.

    The hard working folks at Jossip note that even Matt Lauer spent his morning wondering what in the heck Britney Spears' big announcement of the day will be.

    While pregnancy rumors swirl, along with the "it's a girl!" slugs sparked by a pretty pink shopping spree, Brit hasn't actually told anybody (not even her gang of publicists and managers) what the announcement will be.

    The presser is a no-go however and that's a shame. This could have been really interesting.

    I googled "Karen Phillips" combined with either "Sony Music" or "Sony BMG" and logical variations like "Karyn," "Caryn," and "Philips" and got nothing about her - except for this supposed quote about the Britney press conference. There is a musician named Karen Phillips, but no "executive." She is also not included on the Sony BMG site among the "executives" listing, although there are only four old white guys there, so there are probably plenty more executives there.

    The bottom line is, this Karen Phillips person who was quoted about the press conference probably doesn't exist.

    Earlier in the week we found completely fabricated quotes about Katie Holmes' fitness routine from someone we actually know.

    It's hard to determine where this press conference story originated, but clearly someone is making up quotes and it's just spreading.

    This is gossip, innuendo and rumor, so it's not like it has to be held to a high standard of journalistic integrity. Still, there's a huge difference between saying it's your opinion that someone is pregnant or screwing so and so, and making up shit entirely and acting like it's true. Too many of these stories are totally bogus.

    Oh, and Britney fan site BreathHeavy.com reports that Britney and Kevin are going to renew their vows after Kevin promised Britney that he would change. They don't have a source listed, though, and this doesn't sound true to us. Not much does lately.
