Ashley Tisdale’s Mom: Furious About Rumors

It was quite unexpected when last week, rumors began to circulate on the Internet that Ashley Tisdale was dying of AIDS. And now her mom is speaking out about it.

Last Thursday (June 5th) blogs began running an unconfirmed/unsourced ‘news story’ that the 22-year-old High School Musical cutie had been diagnosed with HIV due to ‘contaminated equipment’ used during her rhinoplasty surgery.

Subsequently, reports began to surface saying that her HIV had developed into full-blown AIDS, and that she only had six months to live. Of course, Tisdale’s rep shot down the false reports, but by then the damage to Ashley, and her family, had been done.

Lisa Tisdale, Ashley’s mother, told press, "My daughter is healthy and just fine — but my husband and I just don't know why anyone would spread such a rumor. And what really upsets me is that anyone can write anything, and it ends up on the Internet. It's so irresponsible; so many people will just assume it's a fact."

Tila Tequila: I Helped Gay Marriage

She’s been blasting stereotypes and societal norms ever since her MTV reality show A Shot at Love first hit the airwaves. And now Tila Tequila is taking credit for the State of California’s decision to drop the ban on gay marriage.
At the Hollywood premiere of “The Love Guru” last night at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Tila told press, "Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships]. Then they realized, 'Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.' The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal."
As for her own love life, Miss Tequila says she’s hoping to tie the knot someday. “I definitely want to… definitely,” she said. The only question is, will her spouse be a man or a woman?

"Sometimes you feel like you get a little too much of one side, and you feel like the other side is better,” she commented.

Melanie Brown Lives it Up in Monaco

It’s been quite a year for Melanie Brown … from an uber-successful Spice Girls reunion to promoting a new line of lingerie, she’s been keeping busy.

And her latest undertaking, promoting Dancing With The Stars in Monte Carlo, seems to be going quite well, judging by the pictures from this morning’s photo call in Monaco.
Scary Spice looked white hot in a white plunging neckline summer dress along with a pair of white peep-toe heels and a big smile.

But as far as her new album/tour are concerned, things aren’t looking quite as bright. Last week Mel told the folks over at GMTV that she’d be touring with Janet Jackson on her upcoming fall tour. However, that may not be the case.

She told press, "I'm ten songs into my album and she [Janet Jackson] worked with me on one of the tracks. I'm also doing a tour of America with her in September, which I can't wait for. She's a great lady."

Unfortunately for Mel, Janet’s management has come out saying that they don’t have any knowledge of such a tour arrangement. We’ll keep you posted.

Kate Moss Promotes Velvet Hour

Her career is the definition of longevity in the modeling industry. And Kate Moss was spotted in Berlin, Germany to promote her new fragrance.

Miss Moss arrived at Hotel de Rome at Bebelplatz Square earlier today looking smashing in a flirty grey tweed dress and a pair of chunky black heels. She’s in town to launch “Velvet Hour,” her new perfume.
Meanwhile, back in Mother England, Kate’s best friend Rhys Ifans is crashing at her pad whie trying to ward off the sting of being dumped by his ex-fiancé Sienna Miller. And Moss isn’t too keen on how it all went down. 

According to press, Kate warned Sienna not to break Rhys’ heart at the inception of their relationship, yet Miller dealt a crushing blow by dumping Ifans over the phone.

An insider told press, "Rhys is probably Kate's best male friend. In fact, she's as close to him as a sister and she's very protective of him because she knows his vulnerabilities. Kate's not someone you'd want on the opposing team. She's a formidable woman and very loyal when it comes to her friends. Kate has taken Rhys in and told him he can stay at her place for as long as he wants. He's in a bad way and she's really angry at Sienna, even though she knew she'd never stay with Rhys."

Amy Winehouse Drug Bust

We all remember back in January when a video of Amy Winehouse allegedly smoking crack cocaine was released to the public. And now the people who supplied the drugs have been arrested.

When still shots from the video were published in the U.K.’s Sun tabloid, authorities decided it was time to take a closer look at the situation. And they found two dealers at the helm.
John Blagrove and Cara Burton have reportedly been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and MDMA or ecstasy to the troubled “Rehab” singer.

According to police, Winehouse herself will not be charged in the case, although she has an ongoing court battle in Norway stemming from marijuana possession charges earlier this year.

Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad: Friends Again!

Earlier this week it looked like they were destined to be sworn enemies. But last night Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad appeared to have buried the hatchet.

Spotted heading out to the Crown Bar together, the Hills hotties looked civil, even acting amicable as they held hands, despite their recent boil-over.
Miss Patridge looked sexy in a black zip-up vest and a pair of distressed jeans, while LC rocked a long green tank-style shirt with a pair of black leggings and Christian Louboutin heels.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, these two had a pretty bad spat when Lauren came home to find Audrina in the middle of a photo shoot with a magazine, as Conrad had already inked an exclusive deal with a competing magazine. 

Patridge told press, “She was very, very, very mad. She said it’s her house. But this is my room. I said, ‘We’re not taking pictures of your house - don’t be rude.’ It just adds to the tension. Now she thinks I’m sneaky and shady for doing this photo shoot, yet she and her team knew about it. She won’t let it go.”

Sarah Larson: Moving On

Sure, she may have been dumped by one of the studliest guys in Hollywood (George Clooney), but Sarah Larson isn’t letting that stop her.

The brunette beauty was spotted grabbing some lunch with her agent from Nous Model Management at the swanky Chaya Brasserie in Los Angeles yesterday.
A lingerie campaign is rumored to be on the horizon for the 29-year-old rising star, who looked sexy in a black silk printed dress with a pair of leather woven shoes and a pair of superstar shades.

Among the possible reasons for the dissolution of their relationship, there is speculation that Larson went ahead with a breast augmentation that George wasn’t keen on, causing him to break up with her. A source close to Sarah denies the rumor.

While Britney Spears appears intent on getting back in shape and staying healthy, the "Gimme More" singer can't help but indulge her sweet tooth, even when she's working out.

Earlier today (June 11), Spears was spotted double-fisting a Sprite and a sweet coffee drink while entering the Culver City Bally's gym.

Lauren Conrad Drops By Four Seasons


Enjoying what was a beautiful June day, Lauren Conrad was spotted out and about the Los Angeles area on Tuesday (June 11).

Wearing a sophisticated red dress with a white buttondown sweater overtop, the Hills starlet headed over to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills to kick-start her morning.

After spending about half an hour inside the luxury hotel, LC returned to her Hollywood home, where movers were busily hauling in a whole new set of furniture for her and pal Lauren Bosworth's pad.

Meanwhile, all of the talk surrounding Lauren and The Hills as of late focuses on the strained relationship between Conrad and her reality co-star Audrina Patridge.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, LC allegedly threw a fit when she found her Audrina in the midst of a photoshoot with OK! magazine in their backyard - as Conrad had already promised exclusive photos of their spot to a rival magazine.

Explaining the situation to OK!, Audrina tells: “She was very, very, very mad. She said it’s her house. But this is my room. I said, ‘We’re not taking pictures of your house - don’t be rude.’ It just adds to the tension. Now she thinks I’m sneaky and shady for doing this photo shoot, yet she and her team knew about it. She won’t let it go.”
