Cheryl Cole Hits Double Number One

cheryl-cole

Over in the UK, we couldn’t love Cheryl Cole anymore than we currently do – the “X-Factor” judge and all-round superstar has just hit a double number one with her first solo efforts. Chezza’s single “Fight For This Love” is already the fastest-selling song of 2009 in Britain so far, and now she’s cemented that achievement with her new album “3 Words” hitting the top spot at the same time.

Surely everything is so perfect in the garden at the moment, nothing could spoil this? Apart from – according to the papers – the antics of her soccer-playing husband Ashley Cole, who refused to attend a celebratory party she’d planned for her successes. Supportive! [Photo: Getty Images]

Linda Hogan Calls Hulk’s Book “Sensationalism” And “Lies”

linda-hogan-hulk-hogan

Hulk Hogan‘s suicidal thoughts and other turbulent events that have taken place in his life over the last two years are supposedly accurately recounted in his new book, My Life Outside The Ring, but his ex-wife Linda Hogan seems to think his “biography” should be shelved under “fiction.” Hulk makes shocking accusations about his ex-wife, claiming that she is an “abusive alcoholic,” which Linda vehemently denies.

“As far as what he has said about Linda, it’s not accurate about her being involved with heavy alcohol and being abusive, and trying to hit Nick with a wine bottle? Absolutely false. It’s disappointing and it is irritating. We disagree and wish he would have stuck to the facts instead of sensationalism to sell his book. It does reheat a lot of stuff, but it makes her feel all the more happy that she’s divorced and away from him. He’s Jennifer’s problem now,” Linda’s rep said, referencing Hulk’s new girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel.

Although Hulk and Linda’s daughter Brooke Hogan has reportedly had a rocky relationship with her mom, Linda’s rep says things are A-OK. “They’re very good. Brooke has been spending a lot of time with Linda in California. It’s been a great revolution that they are back together, mother and daughter, very close, and in fact, she talked to Brooke today at least once or twice,” Linda’s rep claims. “They’re back the way it was. It’s one nice thing about the divorce being over, the kids don’t have to feel they’re in the middle anymore.” [Source: FoxNews.com; Photo: Getty Images]

Mariah Carey And Nick Cannon Are A Precious Pair

mariah carey & nick cannon

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon traded their angel outfits for formal attire when they hit the red carpet for last night’s premiere of her film Precious in LA. With the star playing a weathered social worker in the film, you can bet she was glad to remind viewers of her actual glamor. “It wasn’t just de-glamorized,” Carey told Us Magazine. “They added some hideousness on top of that too. I drank some ugly juice.” It’s about time she learned that ugly juice does an actress better than Glitter.

Among the attendees were Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Olivia Wilde, Sherri Shepherd, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke. Even Mo’Nique finally made it to a promotional event for the film! Check out the glitz in the gallery below.

Robert Pattinson Looks Sexy While Eating Corn

pattinson-vf-4

Okay, Rob, we get it. You’re ferociously sexy doing anything. The hottest vampire on the planet is featured in the December issue of Vanity Fair, wherein he’s photographed by Bruce Weber lying in bed, falling off a piano bench, and waiting at a bus stop…all while looking impossibly gorgeous. Accompanying the photo shoot is a candid interview in which RPattz reveals one of his legs is longer than the other causing him to look “like an idiot,” denies a relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart, and says he thinks he resembles a “cartoon character.” We’re not sure what cartoons he watched growing up outside London, but he definitely doesn’t look like anything we’ve seen on a Saturday morning.

Did we mention these pics are outtakes? We can only imagine what made the final cut. The December issue hits stands November 4th. [Photo: VanityFair.com]

Buy Tila Tequila’s Breasts

Want to grab Tila Tequila‘s boobs anytime you want? If you have the cash, you can have her melons too. Tila is auctioning off a ruby red plaster cast of her breasts on Ebay to help raise money for breast cancer awareness.

“There is only ONE ORIGINAL PIECE MADE of my breasts and YOU CAN OWN THIS!” Tila posted on her blog. “Who else can say ‘I OWN TILA TEQUILA’S BOOBS?’ … Tila Army, I need you and a dying person with breast cancer out there needs you too!” Apparently Tila’s cans are quite the moneymakers. The bidding was already up to over $70,000 with five days left to go! [Photo: Getty Images]

Jon Gosselin Puts Hailey “On Ice,” Apologizes Yet Again

jon gosselin & rabbi shmuley boteach

As promised, Jon Gosselin took the stage with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach at the West Side Jewish Center in NY yesterday to beg us to stop paying attention to him. “Thank you guys for showing up tonight, but please, stop showing up…I don’t want this. I never invited any of this.” So why didn’t JoGo just slip away back to Pennsylvania? Because he wants to make sure we know how sorry he is.

“It is hard for me to ask to be forgiven from someone who might never forgive me,” said JoGo. “I was looking for the affirmation at the clubs and bars that I wasn’t getting from Kate at home…I am saying this now to Kate, ‘I am sorry for doing the things that I did.’ I’ll apologize to her for openly having relationships in the public eye. That was a huge mistake, because if she would’ve done that to me, I would have been extremely pissed off.”

To prove his point, our hero take Rabbi Boteach’s advice and put his relationship with Hailey Glassman “on ice.” “Hailey and I decided to calm things down until the divorce, just until the divorce,” he said. “I don’t want to make the same mistakes I made with Kate, with Hailey. I would just be repeating the pattern over again.” No, “repeating the pattern” would be dating the OctoMom, unless Hailey’s on fertility meds too.

Trick-or-Treating With The Stars

From the West Village of NYC to the suburbs of LA, celebrity parents hit the pavement with their kiddies to gather candy on Halloween. Jon Stewart donned a pirate’s hat as he and the fam strolled in Manhattan. Kate Beckinsale brought daughter Lily to a party in Santa Monica. Christina Aguilera looked darling in coordinating skeleton outfits with son Max. A top-hatted Paul Rudd took son Jack out-and-about in NYC. It’s nice to see the innocent side of the oft-skankified holiday. [Photos: Getty Images and Splash News Online]

Paris Slaps Doug After Drunken Fight

paris-hilton-doug-reinhardt-fight-1

Paris Hilton let her fairy fists fly this weekend when she slapped Doug Reinhardt on Halloween. The pair got into some sort of fight early Sunday morning after Doug tossed Paris’ cellphone out the window of their limousine. (In case you missed it: Paris and Doug broke up in June but reunited in August.) When she failed to find her precious mobile amid the traffic and tomfoolery of Sunset Boulevard, she hopped in the front seat of the limo and apparently smacked Doug in the face.

Her leechy lover then grabbed her to hold her down while a friend of the heiress positioned himself in the window to prevent paps from snapping pics of the altercation (a move that only makes sense when drunk logic is applied). The limo driver looked horrified by the entire thing and surely questioned why he ever agreed to the gig in the first place.

Good news: The phone was found and returned to Paris.
Bad news: Doug Reinhardt still exists.
