ParisExposed.com has officially been shut down as Paris Hilton wins the first battle in a case to permanently shut down the website that could potentially ruin her life. Paris was devastated to see her entire life on showcase in a new website (ParisExposed.com) that showed some very intimate aspects of her life. The website, which was ordered to shut down until February 16th, showcased items like home videos, diary entries, bank statements and more.
 According to sources, the items found on the website (which were acquired through an auction held by an individual who Paris refused to pay $208 for storing) were enough to completely ruin Paris Hilton’s life. New sex tapes, videos of Paris consuming illegal substances and the socialite allegedly saying the “N” word were all revealed in the short time the website was launched.
When Paris realized the affect this site could have on her social life and her career she immediately sued the website. Her lawyer, Howard Weitzman, pleaded the site to be shut down on grounds that the site violated his client’s right to privacy and was a copyright infringement. While Paris won the first round, the owner of the website (Bardia Persa) has his chance in court on February 16th. If the judge favors Persa, the site will re-launch immediately but if the judge favors Paris, the site could be permanently shut down.
Persa reportedly paid 10 million dollars for the items he plans to showcase on the site for $39.95 subscription fee per month.

The world’s best dressed woman (according to UK Glamour) is officially back on the market. A statement released by the couple’s reps claims that “Olivier Martinez and Kylie Minogue have officially confirmed that they are no longer a couple”. Kylie and Olivier, were together for four years at the time of the split.
Statements issued by the couple’s reps also claim “they have made it clear that the decision to go their separate ways was mutual and amicable. The two remain very close friends.” However, the reason for the split (according to the statements released) was due to “false [media] accusations of disloyalty”.
It appears that the once happy couple has been facing issues throughout the past few weeks suggesting infidelity on behalf of Martinez. According to People Magazine “The couple’s parting follows reports that Martinez, 41, was seen with younger women in Los Angeles twice last week while Minogue, 38, remained in Britain”.
Minogue and Martinez have been through some difficult times together over the course of their 4 year relationship. Olivier remained by Kylie’s side when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2005. Last year, Kylie officially became cancer-free and started a worldwide Showgirl tour. Looks like Kylie will be finishing the tour a single woman. The relationship she once had with the man she quoted as being “the most honorable man I have ever met” has officially ended.
Kylie’s strength has prevailed in the past, there’s no doubt in my mind she will be just fine on her own.

Britney Spears has never been one to shy away from the social scene and this weekend was no exception. Brit decided to switch things up this weekend and exchanged her usual tequila shots for shots of the runway. Britney, along with her assistant, attended the Baby Phat runway show for New York Fashion Week. Britney claims that new Baby Phat collection by Kimora Lee Simmons “was amazing”.
But the 25 year old pop star can’t go anywhere without making headlines. While attending New York Fashion Week, Britney told People Magazine that she loved being single. When approached by the magazine, who asked her how she was enjoying the single life, Spears responded by saying “it’s awesome” – a pretty big statement for someone who’s fighting rumors of a possible reconciliation between her and ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Nonetheless, Britney seems to be doing well without K-Fed. In fact, she’s been spending a lot of time in the studio lately, trying hard to finish her new album. Britney claims the album should be out by the end of the year – which may just make her alleged comeback a reality.

It appears that Lindsay Lohan (Lilo) is taking rehab more seriously than most of us thought. While her mom is talking to entertainment shows and media sources about the hectic lifestyle of her daughter, Lindsay is in rehab focusing on her recovery. Most people thought Lindsay's self admittance into rehab was a public cry for attention, it appears to be just the opposite. Lindsay is tired of the papparazi and wants to step back from the spotlight - at least for a little while.
Lindsay's attempt to focus on herself meant backing out of an upcoming movie called "A Woman of No Importance". Lilo's publicist Leslie Sloane claims Lindsay doesn't want to "comprimise herself anymore". She goes onto say that "If anything has been learned (throughout Lindsay's stay in rehab) it's that what she needs comes first - and right now she needs focus".
While Lindsay's recent troubles have caused her to back away from her upcoming movie, the young star is continuing to work on her current movie "I Know Who Killed Me". Lindsay is expected to stay in rehab as long as it takes for her to get better. She's taking it seriously this time, "she needs to focus".

Britney Spears has been less than successful since her divorce from Kevin Federline towards the end of 2006. While the two were together, the media constantly put Kevin down, implying Britney was too good for him and that he was definitely not worthy of being with such a successful women. But since the split, it seems as though Kevin has been receiving more media attention than Britney - and it's mostly positive.
While Kevin has received some hostility from individuals for playing a poor role in his new commercial for Nationwide Insurance set to air during tomorrow's Super Bowl, his name has made more headlines in the last month than his former popstar wife. Kevin not only denied Britney's compromise of a 25 million dollar divorce settlement but he's been making a successful living for himself and his children since the divorce. On the other hand, the 25 year old mother of two has been making headlines for her hard partying habits and irresponsible behavior.
But have no fear Brit fans, Britney is set to make her comeback this year. She is currently in studio in Las Vegas finishing up her new album, expected to release by the end of the year. What may scare you a little bit is the fact that Brit has been drunk calling Fed-Ex, claiming she wants him back. According to the National Ledger, Britney is only with new flame, Isaac Cohen to make K-Fed jealous.
I know millions of people are hoping and praying this isn't the case.

Tyra Banks let loose on her show yesterday and gave the tabloids what they've been deserving for a long time. While wearing the bathing suit that originally sparked comments like "Tyra Porkchop" and "America's Next Top Waddle" Tyra stood up for all the girls who have been fighting weight issues. Tyra stood up in front of the studio audience and millions of viewers and told the tabloids who called her overweight "Kiss my fat ass."
"Kiss My Fat Ass"
Tyra Banks goes onto talk with models of all sizes that she has as guests on her show. She also talked with the mother of a 21 year old Brazilian model who dies last year because of anorexia. In addition, Tyra also spoke to a woman who is currently fighting an eating disorder that is destroying her life.
It's about time someone started fighting back. These tabloids are printing photos that are not only false but extremely hurtful. Tyra's recent tirade is nothing short of how many people feel everyday when being criticized for the way they look. And it's not just bigger women, its smaller women, bigger men and smaller men. The media's obsession weight is just that - an obsession with weight in general. Big or small, we need to divert the focus off weight and put the focus on talent and personality. Luckily, the entertainment has people like Tyra Banks who will fight to protect the feelings of others.

The recent public outing of one of Hollywood's hottest former couples,Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, has sparked rumors of possible reconciliation. Reports say the two were seen in public with daughter Ava and son Deacon. While many of us hoped that the two had worked things, that's simply not the case. Reese and Ryan have no plans of reconciliation any time soon.
So why is the media reporting that Reese and Ryan are back together? Perhaps it's because the two put on 'happy faces' for the sake of their children. They were seen out in public together because they both wanted to accompany their daughter Ava to her school play. And while the two are incredible parents (their relationship is officially 'civil' now in order to make things easier for their kids) there is "no way" they are getting back together, according to what the stars told TMZ.com.
After reports that Ryan had cheated on Reese numerous times throughout their seven year relationship (most recent reports stating that he fooled around with Abbie Cornish, his costar in his upcoming movie) it's unlikely that Reese will be taking Ryan back any time in the future, let alone so soon after the divorce.

It seems very clear that Justin Timberlake is on the rebound after splitting with his girlfriend of over 3 years, Cameron Diaz. Since the two split in late December, Justin has been linked to Kate Hudson, Scarlett Johansson, Alyssa Milano, Britney Spears and now, most recently, Jessica Biel. It seems as though Justin can't hide his addiction to attractive women. But Cameron is less than impressed with Timberlake since the split, and apparently confronted him in public about his actions.
 According to "US Weekly", Cameron confronted Justin about his feelings for "7th Heaven" star Jessica Biel at the Golden Globe Awards last month. Justin was quoted as saying "It has been two weeks and we are getting through it". While there are no videos of the alleged confrontation, "US Weekly" stands by their story about Diaz's frustration on the issues.
So are Justin and Jessica romantically involved? Some sources support the fact that the two are involved but others are denying the story. Perhaps one of the more reputable sources, a friend of Timberlake's, claims "He made it clear that if Jessica wanted to have a good time - and nothing more - that he was down with it" in regards to reports that the two spent a night together during the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
With all the women Justin's been linked to over the past month, it's hard to take anything seriously at this point. It seems very clear that Justin is interested in having a good time - and nothing more at the moment.

Those of you who are following the Miss USA scandal will not want to miss tonight's episode of Entertainment Tonight where the 21 year old beauty queen opens about her alcohol and drug addictions. Not only will Tara come clean about the struggles she has faced with alcohol, but in new reports, Conner implies that she was abused as a child as well. "I will not deny that I have witnessed some abuse, but out of respect for my family...I would like to speak with my family first about it" says Tara in an interview with NBC today.
Tara, who was inches away from losing her crown last month on reports of poor behavior involving drinking in public, drugs and irresponsible actions, speaks out to more than one media source about her life as an alcoholic. "My name is Tara Conner and I'm an alcoholic - I'm alcohol addict" says the pageant winner in her interview tonight.
Tara recently emerged from rehab, where she was directed to go by Donald Trump after the scandal last month. Immediately out of rehab, Conner started doing interviews with multiple television stations including Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition and The Today Show. Maybe she should have taken a little time off to 'recover' before jumping into the limelight so soon after rehab.
Catch the full interview on Inside Edition tonight at 7 or Entertainment Tonight at 7:30.

Britney Spears has been spending quite a bit of time in the studio lately, working hard to finish her new album which is expected to release this fall. But not only has Brit been practicing her vocal skills, she's also been practicing her dance moves - and what appears to be the steps in a future performance. Britney's recent trips to the dance studio have media sources talking. Is Britney planning to make a Grammy comeback?
While Spears has neither confirmed nor denied reports that she may be performing at this year's Grammy Awards, industry insiders believe that one solid performance is exactly what the pop princess needs. Britney made an announcement in very early January that she would be making a comeback this year and there's no better way to do it than a knockout performance at the music industry's most respected event.
Other rumors surrounding Brit's possible performance at this year's show have to do with her former flame, Justin Timberlake. While there has been speculation of a reconciliation between Hollywood's former 'it' couple, there's no chance the two will be performing together at the awards. Justin is currently holding a competition for a singing partner - an unknown singer in need of a break in the industry.
Will Britney be performing? Will Justin and Britney run into each other? Who will become Justin Timberlake's new singing partner? All will be revealed at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, airing Sunday February 11th on CBS.

Tyra Banks has been pubicly humiliated over the past few weeks, with unflattering photos published by tabloids that claim the former model weighs over 200 pounds. The photo that has everyone talking was taken of Tyra on a trip in Australia, sporting a one piece bathing suit. Tyra has spoken out about her thoughts on this subject to many media sources including Larry King, Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition. Tyra claims that the papparazi waited until she was in the most unflattering position to take the photo - and then continued to photoshop the photo to make her look bigger. Well Tyra is ready to speak out on the subject for the final time - on her talk show today.
Tyra will wear the same one piece bathing suit shown in the photos on her show today. The reason Tyra decided to do this is two fold. One, she wants to prove to everyone that the photo shown in the tabloids is not an accurate depiction of her real body. That the terms "Tyra Porkchop" and "America's Next Top Waddle" are not only untrue, but completely inaapropriate. The second reason is to show that women who are in her position (fighting weight comments) that their bodies are beautiful and that there's nothing to be ashamed of.
There is a small clip of today's show on Tyra's Website, along with a personal letter from the former supermodel herself. To see the full story, watch the Tyra show today (times vary according to location).
Here's a clip from today's show:

Kevin Federline doesn't need Britney Spear's money now that he has a commercial airing during this year's Super Bowl. K-Fed has been making more headlines than Britney this year and it seems that since the split, Federline has been working hard to become successful. Kevin last attempt at proving he's the bigger man is refusing a $25 million dollar divorce settlement offered by Spears. Maybe Kevin is trying to salvage his last bit of self pride.
Whether Federline was trying to make a statement by turning down the money or he just simply doesn't need her fortune anymore, he's proved a point to the popstar - he's just fine without her, despite what most people said when they split. While just a few months ago K-Fed was begging for 50 million dollars from Britney, he refused the 25 million dollar compromise she offered just days ago.
A source told American Publication Star something a little different. According to the source "Kevin says that Britney offered him $10 million to walk away from their marriage and to relinquish custody of their kids, but he just laughed and walked away".

We've been following the Miss USA scandal for months now and in a shocking turn of events, Tara Conners opens up and admits to being an alcoholic and to using cocaine. Tara, who has been making news headlines since her potential dethroning by Donald Trump for drinking in public and portraying a less than positive image for young teens, speaks out about her alleged addiction to alcohol and how she plans to use her experiences to help others in an upcoming interview with Matt Lauer.
Tara Conner's recently admitted to being an alcoholic. Not only did Tara admit to being an alcohol addict but she also admitted to snorting cocaine. While it is the responsibility of Miss USA to uphold a positive image for young children, it hardly seems as though she is fulfilling these duties. Tara reveals her (sob story) case to Matt Lauer admitting "I have done cocaine, yes. It feels good to get it off my chest".
So here's my take on the story - for those of you who are interested. It seems as though when the story was first released everyone was astonished by the poor behavior of the beauty pageant winner. People were criticizing her for making poor choices and most of the polls agreed that she should be dethroned. In my opinion, claiming she is an alcoholic is her attempt to make people for sorry for her as opposed to criticize her. She's acting as though she's trying to help people when really she needs to be admitting that she's been a poor role model and made bad choices.
It seems as though the media destroys people who party hard but applauds people who admit they have serious problems. It seems to me that she's taking advantage of this by claiming she has a problem when in fact she was just being a normal 21 year old who made a few poor choices along the way. A poor cop-out if you ask me. Admit what you've done and fix it - you don't need people to pity you in the process.
Who knows, maybe my opinion will change after I see the full interview which airs tomorrow night on Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition.
