Jim Carrey: I'm Not Having a Breakdown Jim Carrey's relationship with Jenny McCarthy isn't the only thing that's in the past. So too, he says, is a part of himself he's happy to shed. "I have freed Truman at long last!," Carrey wrote in an explosion of post-breakup Tweets, referring to his alter-ego from The Truman Show whose entire life was surreptitiously filmed for a reality show. "I am grateful for my avatar's many yrs of dedicated service, but no one has ever won the Tour De France while back peddling. … so I killed him," he wrote late Sunday night. "I do not plan 2 bow to expectations or to be confined by the fear of losing altitude in the 'statusphere'! (my word)." It has freed him to comment on such delicate matters as the Tiger Woods scandal and make a passing reference to Sandra Bullock's marital crisis. Acknowledging that "some folks out there are worried that I stay up too late," he insists, "This is no breakdown! It's a breakthrough! And if you'll just loosen these straps, I'll show you the difference!" Source People

Paris Hilton Splits From Doug Paris Hilton has reportedly split from Doug Reinhardt. The socialite reportedly called time on their 14-month romance recently, despite speculation they are planning to marry. A source said: "Obviously she broke up with him." Paris, 29, was seen partying in Las Vegas last weekend and Doug was reportedly planning to fly out to see her on his way back from a family holiday to Aspen, but decided not to at the last minute. The source added to E! Online: "He was in Aspen with his dad this weekend and was considering stopping by Vegas on the drive back, but changed his mind. "I'm pretty sure that's why he went to Aspen... to hide out and try to get over her." Paris chose to spend time with her parents, Kathy and Richard, at the weekend and even went clubbing in Vegas with them. She tweeted: "Just packing my bags, going on a trip with my parents for a few days. I love spending time with my family, we have the best time... "After dinner with the family, we all stopped by Tao. Had a great time dancing to DJ Reach. My parents are so much fun to hang out with." News of a split is sure to disappoint the families of Paris and 24-year-old Doug. Earlier this year, the couple spent a week with his mother Kelly and stepfather Duane Roberts at a luxury villa on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, where the former 'Hills' star's family were referring to Paris as "daughter-in-law". A source said at the time: "Paris and Doug looked like they were on a honeymoon. They would be on the beach for hours, just staring into each others eyes, kissing and laughing. "At dinner Doug's mom was overheard referring to Paris as her, 'daughter-in-law' and it's pretty clear that Paris' family feels the same way about Doug." After a night out in February with Doug and her parents, Paris tweeted about how pleased she was at how well they got on. She wrote: "What a fun night! My mom and Doug were so cute dancing together! I love how my parents love my love! We all had a blast! Great night! (sic)" Source femalefirst

Brandy blogs about Flo Rida romance Brandy has opened up about her romance with Flo Rida, admitting she's reluctant to "commit" to the rapper because she doesn't want to end up heartbroken. The singer insists she's "definitely interested" in the "Right Round" hitmaker, who she began spending time with last year, but she's not getting serious with the hip-hop star just yet. In a blog post on Vibe.com, Brandy wonders if she'll ever find happiness with a man in the public eye - insisting she's "scared" a famous boyfriend will eventually cheat on her. She writes, "I've seen the photos of me and Flo Rida. It doesn't matter how we met. We met. I don't want to say that we're a couple. I can definitely say that he's somebody in my life and I'm definitely interested but I'm not serious with anybody. I'm a little bit afraid to give my heart away right now... "People that are in the entertainment business are scary because there's so much out there for them. They can get whatever they want and you have to be a strong guy to be in a committed relationship. You have to be strong and ready for that. And I just think if you're not ready for that, then don't tell me that you are and you're not... Don't tell somebody that they're your girlfriend and then you go out and act like you don't have a girlfriend. That's not right... I'm scared in that sense because I don't play around with the whole cheating thing. Please don't do that. I don't like that. At all. I'm so scared of that. I'm scared to give my heart away. I don't know where to find a good guy." Brandy has previously dated producer Robert Smith, with whom she has a daughter, and basketball player Quentin Richardson. source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailyd...2#ixzz0komr1zYE

Kelis' Godly Childbirth Kelis believes faith helped her give birth. The 'Acapella' singer, who has nine-month-old son Knight from her former marriage to rapper Nas, admits her faith in God is stronger because of her natural childbirth. She said: "It was really savage. I was in labour for 67 hours. "I went natural, and it was savage! If you ever doubted the glory of God, you have to rethink that after having a baby. "I mean there's no way I could have done this by myself. There is a creator." She also admits that hitting the age of 30 in August 2009 gave her a whole new outlook on life. She said: "My mom always used to tell us, 'Your twenties? Whatever. In your thirties you'll be your most beautiful, your sexiest, your smartest.' I've been through so many life changes getting here, it's like, she was right'." Discussing her upcoming album 'Flesh Tone', she claims pregnancy helped her record her best work yet.

Chilli Is Always Faithful In Love TLC star ROZONDA 'CHILLI' THOMAS has never been unfaithful in a relationship - because she thinks cheating on a partner would take "too much effort". The singer, who has landed her own dating show to find love, admits she has been hurt by more than one disloyal boyfriend, drawing on her own experience with R&B superstar Usher to prove her point. The couple split in 2004 over allegations the Yeah! hitmaker had been unfaithful with a fan - but she insists she could never romance two men at one time. In a blog on Vibe.com, Chilli writes, "I'll just say this: it wasn't that I just experienced cheating with Usher because he and I never discussed that in detail. That wasn't the first time I experienced cheating in a relationship. I've never cheated but I don't know any woman on this planet who hasn't experienced something like that, whether it's cheating during the relationship or cheating during a break-up, which some people don't consider cheating because you're not technically together but you still haven't really broken apart. "Cheating takes too much effort. You’re hiding and doing all kinds of crazy stuff. It’s just unnecessary and it’s extremely hurtful. It’s excruciating pain." The star's new dating reality show, What Chilli Wants, premieres in the U.S. on Sunday (11Apr10). Source contactmusic

Gwyneth Paltrow failed to bond with son Gwyneth Paltrow was plagued by doubts following the birth of her second child, because she "didn't feel anything" for her baby son Moses. The Hollywood actress has two children with her rocker husband Chris Martin - Apple, five, and Moses, four. But the "Iron Man" star admits that when her son was born in 2006, she failed to bond with him and kept her post-natal problems secret until the Coldplay star confronted her over the issue. She tells Vogue magazine, "At my lowest, I was a robot. I just didn't feel anything. I had no maternal feelings for him - it was awful. I had no thoughts of harming him, thank God, but I couldn't connect, and still, when I look at pictures of him at three months old, I don't remember that time. "My problem was that I never acknowledged anything was wrong. I just carried on as normal, and I just felt crazy. It was Chris, actually, who said out loud that something was wrong. And that was such a relief when he did because it was confirmation that it wasn't just me." Paltrow admits she managed to work through her emotional issues with her husband's help, and found a new exercise program helped lift her from her misery. She adds, "That was the beginning. That was when I cracked it - I started exercising and I started thinking about working again. That's my problem, though. Sometimes I have a hard time saying what I need to say. I'll be annoyed. I'll stew. I'll build a wall around me and give off the silent treatment - and I know that's not healthy." source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailyd...x#ixzz0koZEQZIc

Jesse James' rep: 'There are no sex tapes' A rep for Jesse James has dismissed reports the disgraced TV mechanic filmed more than a dozen homemade sex tapes, including a clip with his estranged wife Sandra bullock. "The Blind Side" star walked out on James and left the couple's marital home in March when allegations of his infidelities first surfaced. On Tuesday, Bullock's aides spoke out against claims that James possesses a graphic sex tape featuring the actress, which he could possibly use as leverage in a divorce case. Now James' rep has cleared up internet reports which suggest he's recorded several tapes with mistresses featuring Nazi-themed paraphernalia. A rep for James tells People.com, "The claims of sex tapes are untrue and completely fabricated." James, believed to be receiving treatment in an Arizona facility, was shamed last month by the online leak of a photo in which he poses as Adolf Hitler. source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailyd...8#ixzz0koY5DFu5

Jennifer Lopez shocked by 'motherhood guilt' Jennifer Lopez was surprised to be overwhelmed by "guilt" when she first left her twin babies to return to work because she was never warned about the downside of becoming a mother. The singer/actress gave birth to son Max and daughter Emme, her first children with husband Marc Anthony, in February 2008. She only returned to Hollywood last year to film "The Back-Up Plan." But Lopez didn't expect to feel so bad about leaving her kids with their father and nanny when she decided to re-launch her career, admitting "nobody ever tells you" She tells Redbook magazine, "I never expected to feel the guilt of not being able to be there for them at every single moment. "You feel guilty whenever you can't have your kids right there with you on your hip. And for me there's two, so it's bad back and bad arm time having a 50-pound kid on each side." And Lopez believes it's an unspoken understanding between new moms. She adds, "(Maybe) women are a little ashamed to admit it." source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailyd...8#ixzz0koWmdH1n

Jude Law wins damages over tabloid photos Jude Law has won $15,000 in damages after suing the editors of a British magazine for publishing photos of his children. Law was appalled when pictures of his three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost holidaying with him and girlfriend Sienna Miller in the Caribbean over Christmas appeared in Hello! magazine. The images of his sons Rafferty, 12, and Rudy, 7, and daughter Iris, 9, on a secluded beach were purchased and published by the U.K publication in January, and Law hit the editors with a breach of privacy lawsuit. The case was settled in court earlier this week. As part of the agreement, Hello! bosses have been ordered to cover Law's legal costs and they have agreed not to publish pictures of the actor with his kids until they reach the age of 18. The settlement also states the magazine must not publish any images of Law in circumstances where "he has a reasonable expectation of privacy." source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailyd...8#ixzz0kjW3JR8z

M.I.A.: 'Lady Gaga isn't progressive' Rapper/singer M.I.A. has blasted critics who compare her to Lady Gaga because she doesn't think the pop star is very original. The "Paper Planes" hit maker is impressed by the singer's ability to "mimic" her heroes but insists Gaga hasn't done enough to establish herself as an innovator. M.I.A. tells Britain's NME, "People say we're similar, that we both mix all these things (influences) in the pot and spit them out differently, but she spits it out exactly the same! None of her music's reflective of how weird she wants to be or thinks she is. She models herself on Grace Jones and Madonna, but the music sounds like 20-year-old Ibiza music, you know? She's not progressive, but she's a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I [bleep] do! That's a talent and she's got a great team behind her, but she's the industry's last stab at making itself important -- saying, 'You need our money behind you, the endorsements, the stadiums'. Respect to her, she's keeping a hundred thousand people in work, but my belief is: Do it yourself." And the star, real name Maya Arulpragasam, isn't fond of Gaga's latest hit single, "Telephone," either. She rants, "Lady Gaga plugs 15 things in her new video. Dude, she even plugs a burger! That's probably how (record companies) are making money right now -- buying up the burger joint, putting the burger in a music video and making loads of burger money." source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailyd...8#ixzz0kjRRWQCN

Rihanna: 'Matt Kemp is my boyfriend' Rihanna has confirmed baseball star Matt Kemp is her boyfriend after months of insisting the loved-up pair was not an item. Reports of a romance spread in January when the singer and the Los Angeles Dodgers star holidayed together in Mexico. They were then spotted at parties and basketball games together, but Rihanna was eager to report she was single the whole time, and insisted she and Kemp were "just good friends." Kemp then threw the star a party in Arizona in February to celebrate her 22nd birthday, but she maintained, "I'm not dating anyone. I'm single." And Kemp continued the ruse by telling reporters he had no time for romance: "I can't get distracted by that. When it's time to play baseball, that's my job. No distractions. Rihanna is just a friend, a good friend of mine." But now the romance is out in the open as the Dodgers season gets underway and Rihanna plans to tour with Kesha. The singer revealed the truth during a chat with Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Thursday (08Apr10). She said, "He's my boyfriend. ... It's new and it's fun and it's nothing too serious. I don't want anything nuts that's gonna take up so much of my energy and time in a bad way." Kemp is the singer's first serious boyfriend since she split up with R&B star Chris Brown in 2009. Brown was charged with assaulting the singer during a fight after a pre-Grammy Awards party. source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailyd...8#ixzz0kjOv1YdB
