Mistress of Gordon Ramsay Pens Letter to Wife of Gordon Ramsay

Forget Hell's Kitchen. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is living through Hell's Bedroom.
An affair between the reality TV star and fame-mongering mistress Sarah Symonds came to light this summer, mostly because the latter announced her plans to write a book about the relationship. (She's already the author of "Having An Affair? - A Handbook for the Other Woman.")
Now, Symonds has taken the unusual, hilarious, condescending step of actually reaching out to Tana Ramsay, Gordon's scorned wife.

In an open letter on her website, Symonds refers to herself as an "Infidelity Analyst" and tells Tana to "stand up for herself." It gets so much better:

I come to offer you my support with much credibility Tana, as, after my affair with your husband was exposed, I've worked extremely hard to reform myself. Now, as the first and only Infidelity Analyst in the world, I use my intimate inside knowledge (and lessons learned by my mistakes of the heart) to help women everywhere live in the truth.

I especially help wives all over the world by mentoring them on how NOT to be used and humiliated by their husbands, especially celebrity ones who think they can have it all. So, hand on heart, I write to you here today with all good intentions, because after reading - along with the rest of the world - all that is being said about you by Gordon, and by your father, I really feel for you.

I mean, it cannot be easy for a woman like you to be perceived by both of them as SO weak, and so easy to manipulate... Regain some self-respect and dignity and [do] not let your man/men treat you as a weaker individual. After all, men (whoever they are) will ONLY walk all over you IF YOU LET THEM!

Hear that, ladies? You can trust Sarah Symonds, too. She's been with a lot of married men.

Scarlett Johansson Named GQ Babe of the Year

Take this, Minka Kelly!
While Esquire named that former Friday Night Lights star the Sexiest Woman Alive, GQ has come back and honored Scarlett Johansson as its 2010 Babe of the Year. For what reasons? We'll let the magazine explain:

At 26, she remains fresh-faced, curious, trying on new moods and outlets of expression as easily as she changes her hair color. This is what we love about Scarlett: that she's game, that she's good, that she can try on all these guises without seeming to try too hard.

And all the while still seem genuinely like the observant, inquisitive (and very cute) girl in transition we fell for in Lost in Translation.

Jessica Simpson or Nick Lachey: Whose Relationship Will Last Longer?

Nearly five years after Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey divorced, both stars got engaged this month and are totally ready for their second marriages.
Nick and Vanessa Minnillo announced their news November 1. Then, this Sunday, we learned that Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson will wed as well.
The way marriages go nowadays, particularly in Hollywood, you can't help but wonder if either will make it. Who do you think stands the better chance? 

Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson are getting hitched. To other people.

As for the obligatory rumor that Jessica got engaged just to "keep up" with Nick (you know someone will report this), a source says Johnson "had been planning the engagement for awhile and the date was very special to them."

Demi Lovato Described as "Out of Control Mess" While Dating Joe Jonas

At this point, it's no secret that Demi Lovato has been dealing with a number of issues for a very long time.
How did those problems affect this singer's relationship with Joe Jonas? Greatly, according to the latest issue of People.
A source tells that publication Joe had little choice but to end things because “Demi’s attitude and behavior were out of control.” This insider goes on to refer to Demi as “a tortured mess."

Lovato's struggles hit a climax on a plane out of Peru, as has already been detailed. She believed backup dancer Alex Welch had tattled on her partying habits and, according to this story:

"Walked onto the plane, did not look at the girl, then suddenly punched her in the face and threatened her with a slew of expletives. Demi’s manager asked her, ‘Are you in control at all?’ She said, ‘Sorry, I just lost it.’”

From there, Demi agreed to seek treatment - and now we're all rooting for her to get better.

Kourtney Kardashian Outsources Beauty to Maxim India

Kourtney Kardashian has outsourced her beauty to India.
The reality star is featured in a sexy pictorial as part of that country's November issue of Maxim. Indeed, critics can say what they want about Kourtney - she's annoying, starved for attention, talentless, unashamed to exploit her child for publicity and money... - but it's hard to deny Kourtney is by far the best looking of all these Kardashian sisters.
Unfortunately, we can't even sit back and enjoy that fact because only one thought crosses our minds when looking at the pics below: Scott Disick gets to go home every night and tap this?!?

 

Willow Palin Boyfriend Cock-Blocked on Sarah Palin's Alaska

Sarah Palin's Alaska is an environment wrought with challenges.
When it comes to protecting daughter Willow, a mama grizzly will do what she needs to do. Stopping by for a visit on the first episode of Sarah's TLC show, the 16-year-old Willow's excited boyfriend Andy learns this the hard way.

Sarah Palin wants to tap the oil fields of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but strives to ensure Willow Palin remains untapped by certain Alaskan wildlife.

Barring Andy from following Willow up where evil things happen, Sarah says "See this gate? It's not just for Trig, it's for no boys go up there." Eloquent as ever.
Considering her success rate keeping boys off of Bristol Palin, you'd think Sarah would know a baby gate's not gonna do much. But hey, at least she's trying.

Lea Michele and Cory Monteith Remain Clothed, Dish on Success of Glee

Lea Michele and Cory Monteith are no strangers to being photographed for a major magazine.
But the co-stars are strangers to being photographed for a major magazine without any controversy resulting from their scantily-clad pictorial. We're referring, of course, to their scandalous GQ spread last month.
We doubt anyone will take exception to Monteith and Michele's photo shoot in the December issue of Teen Vogue, however, as evidenced by the simple pose below:

The pair also spoke on Glee and their friendship with the magazine. A few excerpts from the interview:

Cory, on the popularity of Glee: "Even if it's not your cup of tea, it's really hard to get negative about a show that's [about] singing and dancing and that makes people smile."

Lea, on getting along with Cory: "We're such good friends that we've passed that level of weirdness. Cory farts in front of me."

Cory, on auditioning: "My manager literally had to talk me into it. I was petrified to sing in front of anyone."

Lea, on fame: "There is some bad stuff that comes with this kind of popularity. But no matter what's going on in my life, the next thing I know, we're jumping on mattresses, having slushies thrown at us - or just having fun with each other. It really does make everything OK."

 

Snooki and Jionni LaValle: Disney World Love!

Sorry, Emilio Masella. You missed your shot, dog. Maybe if you weren't a drunk skank with no job (quote courtesy JWoww), you'd still be with Snooki.
Instead, Jionni LaValle has stepped into the role - and they're in love!
Over the weekend, Snooki and Jionni LaValle took a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida to celebrate her upcoming birthday. Tagging along? Her dad!

Snooki and Jionni get wet and wild. And a little blurry.

Other men have come and gone from her life in rapid succession, but she seems to have learned from her mistakes and found a genuine one this time.
Under one of the pictures Snook Tweeted, she wrote, "Fallin in love at disney :)" Awww. Looks like the Princess of Poughkeepsie has found a Prince!
Here's hoping this gorilla juicehead is "The One."

PETA: FUR-ious Over Kim Kardashian Koat Selektion

It was unseasonably warm in New York City yesterday, as temperatures hovered in the mid-50s.
But that didn't stop Kim Kardashian from breaking out a pair of fur coats, much to the chagrin of an organization that actually rivals this reality star in its need for attention.

Is PETA 2 FUR-ious at Kim Kardashian for these coats?

After seeing photos of Kim in the attire above, PETA released the following statement:

“Kim Kardashian is a woman who has everything - except, it seems, an ounce of sympathy for the animals who have the fur ripped off their backs so that she can purchase yet another gaudy jacket. We wish she would take a cue from her fur-free sister, Khloé Kardashian - but evidently, kindness and generosity don’t run in the family.”

Snaps, yo.

It's true that Khloe got naked for a PETA campaign months ago, but it's also true she simply dd that as a way to garner attention.

As for her sister, you tell us: Does PETA make a compelling case? Kim in a fur coat is...

Brittny Gastineau Really Might Be Dating Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps does not have gold medal taste in women.
The Olympic legend was spotted out with socialite Brittny Gastineau over the weekend, as TMZ says its cameras caught the swimmer walking hand-in-hand with the daughter of former New York Jets star Mark Gastineau at the Grove in Los Angeles.

An insider claims this unexpected duo were "very cozy" at Mondrian Hotel and visit Coffee Bean and did some shopping together the following afternoon.

This isn't the first time Phelps has shown questionable taste in the opposite sex. He was once rumored to be dating Carrie Prejean. We agree: he's upgraded!

Celebrity Style Showdown: LeAnn Rimes vs. Hayden Panettiere

Below, LeAnn Rimes and Hayden Panettiere go toe-to-toe in a fierce fight for fashion supremacy. Who will prevail? That's for you to tell us. Ding, ding!
Rimes may or may not be engaged to Eddie Cibrian, but there is little doubt she looked fab in a Elizabeth and James dress on a night out in L.A.
Meamwhile, the former Heroes star and current Wladimir Klitschko boo paired a green version with a leather jacket for his match in Germany.

Why Did Jenna Jameson Quit Porn?

She did it for the kids. Or, rather, she stopped doing it for the kids.
Jenna Jameson, who has not starred in an adult film since Kobe Loves Jenna, told W Magazine in its latest issue that she will no longer get penetrated by men or women on camera. The reason?
“I really don’t think I need to say, ‘Mommy was a porn star,’” Jameson said of explaining her former occupation to Jesse and Journey, her twin sons Tito Ortiz.

Just how far is Jameson taking this new approach? She says she "won't even do a Maxim cover" and added she hopes her children are proud:

“I feel like they’re going to know me and think, Mommy loved us so much that she quit everything and made us her job. And that’s what I did. The moment I decided to have children, I quit."

Jenna now resides with Ortiz - with whom she's had some recent, serious difficulties - in Huntington Beach, California. Of her life these days, the quasi actress concludes:

"I’m a normal girl with all the same worries and insecurities. I just happen to have done porn.”

TJ Lavin Heads Home from Hospital

A month after a harrowing accident placed him in intensive car, BMX star TJ Lavin has been released from the hospital.
The athlete's mother told The Las Vegas Review-Journal that her son - who was placed in a coma to stop swelling in his brain, and also suffered an orbital fracture and a broken right wrist - has made significant progress and "is now walking, talking, eating on his own and is getting his sense of humor back."

"He has some eye issues and balance issues, but as the swelling goes down, we hope they will go away," Barbara Lavin said. "He's starting to get his personality back."

Going forward, Lavin will have to wear an eye patch occasionally, but will receive assistance from fiancée Roxanne Siordia. He'll soon join a program for brain injuries at an outpatient facility in Las Vegas and has told friends he wants to ride again someday.

Dancing With the Stars Recap: Jennifer Grey is Perfect!

Jennifer Grey certainly made a statement last night.
With just one night remaining before the finals, and voters paying scant attention to scores for several weeks now, there is no margin for error. Everyone is at risk.
Well, everyone but her. The way she and Derek Hough danced Monday, the other three pairs are tangoing for second. A perfect 30 once? Amazing. Twice? Unheard of.

HAND HER THE MIRRORBALL: Hopefully next week, the voters will.

The 90-minute program was probably the most entertaining of the season so far, as all the couples stepped up their game, including Bristol Palin, who wasn't terrible.

Not that she deserves to make the finals over Jennifer, Brandy or Kyle Massey. Each outperformed Bristol, predictably, last night as they have for the final month.

Let's break it down by couple. Regaining sole ownership of the top of the charts were Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough, whose efforts were pure perfection.

Their first dance was the cha cha, set to Duffy’s “Mercy,” and when Bruno calls it "luminous, vibrant, sexy" and flawless execution, well, you knew 30 was comin'.

Amazingly, it got better. An elegant routine that was pure dance, their waltz was a gem. Carrie Ann called it “one of the most beautiful things ever.” Apparently. 30.

Flying under the radar much of the fall, Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer showed why they've lasted so long with a fun-loving rumble of a samba. Good for 29.

How can you not love this guy and the infectious energy he brings week in and week out? The couple brought it a second time in their tango, scoring another 29.

Brandy started things off with a bold paso doble, which she compared to coming into one's own, a la Katy Perry's "Firework." Imperfect but solid, it netted her a 27.

Their tango, however, had no such imperfections. Awarding her 30, the judges called it “lush” “voluptuous” and “full of flavor,” with marvelous body extension.

Finally, Bristol Palin. Despite our conspiracy theory about why she's still on the show, she did pull off a pretty fierce paso doble with Mark Ballas, earning a nice 27.

Her waltz, unfortunately, fell just a little bit short. It was far from bad, don't get us wrong, but she needed to be nearly perfect to compete and wasn't with a 26.

The Dancing With the Stars scores:

• Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough: 60 (30, 30).
• Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer: 58 (29, 29).
• Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 57 (30, 27).
• Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas: 53 (27, 26).

Well, how do you see it playing out tonight? Can Bristol do the impossible and make the finals? If she does, it will be at the expense of someone more deserving.

Nick Lachey to Jessica Simpson: Congratulations!

Divorce is a painful process for couples, so there are going to be mixed emotions if a former spouse gets re-married. Just the same, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson appear nothing but happy for each other.
Much as the tabloids wish he'd give a better sound bite, Nick wishes nothing but the best for Jess, who got engaged to Eric Johnson over the weekend.
"I will say the same thing I always say: I wish her the very best," said Lachey, who just got engaged to Vanessa Minnillo himself after years of dating.

NICK AND JESSICA: Past and future newlyweds.

Asked how she felt about Lachey's engagement, Simpson is equally mature, telling Ryan Seacrest "Our relationship was over a really long time ago, and it would be nice if everyone could move on and celebrate the love between him and Vanessa."
Like Jessica, Nick says he's "basking in the glow" of the news and "enjoying that. I'm sure we'll get on the other planning shortly. We are just enjoying this experience."
Simpson and Lachey famously wed in 2002 and infamously split in 2005. Even then, it wasn't bitter. "This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other," they said in a statement.

Kate Middleton and Prince William: Officially Engaged!

It's been a rumor for months, but it's now an official Royal announcement: Kate Middleton and Prince William are engaged.
The two have been together for years, with a couple brief break-ups along the way. Already regulars in the pages of supermarket tabloids, Kate and William can expect even more coverage as they move toward a wedding that's scheduled to take place some time in 2011.

Ahead for Kate Middleton and Prince William: love, marriage... and $20 billion.

William proposed during a vacation in Kenya last month. He has informed the Queen of his intentions and also sought permission from Middleton's father.

In part, the official statement by Great Britain reads:

The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.

The wedding will take place in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.

Following the marriage, the couple will live in north Wales, where Prince William will continue to serve with the Royal Air Force. 

Jamie and Lynn Spears: Reconciled!

Britney Spears' divorced parents are back together.
Jamie and Lynn Spears, who also have a daughter Jamie Lynn Spears, are reconciling eight years after getting divorced. They're not married again (yet), but "they're back together and are doing well and happy," a source tells People.
"[They're] not remarried but back together."

The couple, who split in 2002, were looking friendly on Saturday at Los Angeles lounge Boudoir, cheering and dancing as DJ Mr. Best spun Britney Spears hits.
"They were in a great mood together," says an onlooker of the pop star's folks. "They were laughing together, dancing and laughing [and] totally having fun."
This sparked rumors of the couple rekindling their lost passion, which were soon confirmed by people close to the singer's camp and her parents themselves.
"Lynne is a dear, sweet person," a family friend says. "She deserves all the happiness in the world. My only wish for her would be a happy ending."
Congratulations to the whole family on this happy news.

Lil Wayne Hit With Another Paternity Suit

Lil Wayne has four kids. That we know of. Of course four, at least three have different mothers. The mother of the second child has never been established.
In any case, the ranks of Weezy's brood may be growing yet again! A Louisiana woman claims he fathered her eight-year-old grandson and wants a DNA test.
She'd have gotten it long ago had it not been for Hurricane Katrina. Really.

T-Pain (left) has nothing to do with this article.

Ever since the baby was born in 2002, the boy's family "tried multiple times to get a paternity test" from the troubled rapper, only to face unforeseen delays.
Such as a massive natural disaster. The New Orleans court system moved at a snail's pace anyway, but after Katrina, the case's records were all destroyed.
Proceedings were therefore delayed by a matter of years. Finally, this year, the court ordered Lil Wayne to submit to a DNA test. He was in jail at the time.
Now that he's been sprung, Wayne has until early-December to take it. Lightning (or hurricanes, more accurately) aren't likely to strike twice, fortunately.

Will.i.am Blasts "Disrespectful" Michael Jackson Album; Akon Defends Collaboration

Will.i.am is not a fan of the posthumous Michael Jackson album, Michael.
The forthcoming project is "disrespectful" to the King of Pop, who the the Black Eyed Peas frontman says would be rolling in his grave at its release.
His reasoning? MJ was such a perfectionist, he would never want fans to hear his songs without his approval. In will.i.am's mind, this is a low blow.

Akon sees Michael Jackson's legacy differently than will.i.am.

"Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are," he said. "To say that what (MJ) contributed during his life wasn't enough. He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful."
"Michael Jackson songs are finished when Michael says they're finished."
Will.i.am, who recorded with Michael just before he died, says those tapes will never see the light of day, unlike "Hold My Hand," MJ's collaboration with Akon.
Their duet is the first single from Michael, and Akon disagrees with will.i.am, saying the upcoming record is actually keeping the King Of Pop's "legacy alive."
"I don't see anything disrespectful about it," he says. "These albums would have come out if he was alive or dead." What do you think? Is it good or bad?
You can see both arguments, clearly, but it's up to the fans to decide. If they embrace Michael's music, and a new generation of listeners is inspired by his talent, however unfinished, it's Akon who may be proven correct in this debate.
Listen to "Hold My Hand" and tell us what you think of it below ...

Oksana Grigorieva Emails: Proof of Extortion Against Mel Gibson?

"Too much evidence, my dear."
These words, excerpted from Oksana Grigorieva emails sent to Mel Gibson just before their mediation in May, are a big part of what his lawyers believe prove attempted extortion took place between the actor and his estranged ex.
Oksana sent the emails May 2, two weeks before she and Mel went into mediation which resulted in a $15 million package for Oksana and baby Lucia.

Do Oksana Grigorieva's emails reveal sinister intentions?

In the email, Oksana Grigorieva accuses Mel and his family of leaking stories about their breakup, specifically ones that "claim you dumped me."
Mel's lawyers believe the emails show Oksana as a manipulator, someone not fearful of Gibson at all, but merely scheming to extort his millions.
Oksana writes, "Does your family think that my modesty and class could pass for stupidity?" She adds, "Do they think that I will let them carry on with ruining my reputation, which was unblemished before i ever layed eyes on you?"
"The facts are stubborn things, information is power, you told me so yourself."
Oksana has accused Mel of assault. In a court declaration, he admits slapping her but says it was a one-time thing and done to protect Lucia.
It seemed that in spite of their history, Oksana even wanted Mel back, writing, "Untill this morning I was still missing you so much and secretly wanted and hoped for us to be together again." Clearly that didn't work out.
Oksana accuses Gibson's wife, Robyn, and daughter, Hannah, of waging a "silent war" against her, complaining, "Are you a little boy, or are you a man? Why are you so easily influence by your mommy Robyn?" Ouch ... burn.
Oh, and she even references the Mel Gibson tapes.
"As far as the tapes go, I only played one to my lawyer," Oksana claims via email. "Becouse on march 15 Michelle proposed on ur behalf not a very generous gift for our daughter and there was nothing for me."
"My lawyers also told me that tom Hansen said i woudn get a penny and more importaunly, my lawyers warned me that ur laywers are capaple of false fabrication about me in press, i.e., an unfit mother, a prostitute etc. so you can have the baby and I get to go to my f...ing moth hole as u told me."
"Too much evidence, my dear."
Well ... there you have it. While Gibson has some serious problems, and while it's hard to say this "proves" extortion was committed, it's looking more and more like Oksana is not the innocent victim she appears to be.

Floyd Mayweather Accused of Misdemeanor Battery

Floyd Mayweather is in trouble with the law again.
The boxer, who has been barred from seeing his children and is awaiting a hearing on multiple felony charges, has been accused of misdemeanor battery against a security guard.

As first reported by TMZ, an employee inside Mayweather's gated Las Vegas community approached the athlete late yesterday afternoon and inquired about a parking situation. Mayweather allegedly responded to the question by poking the man in the face with his finger.
Police were called to the scene, but Mayweather did not answer their knocks on his front door. The case has now been turned over to the DA, who will decide whether or not to pursue it further.
