MTV:
During a segment of Tuesday's show, Usher launched into an impromptu rant that found him dismissing reports that he and his wife were separating, defending his marriage from naysayers and calling gossip about his personal life "trash." Members of the studio audience gasped and shouted their approval.
"I love my wife very, very much," he said. "There was a little rumor earlier this week about us separating. It ain't true. We in love. Get outta there," he said, raising his left hand and showing off his wedding band. "Matter of fact, I'm tired of people continuing to talk so much trash about me, know what I'm saying? And my relationship.
"My wife is not 40 years old. I love her to death and I'm a black, strong man in America standing up for my people — as a man to my wife, to my son, to my family," he continued, removing his sunglasses and talking directly into the camera. "I'm making a stand that a lot of us should make. I coulda been like any other man who has a child and live with that woman and continue to just play the game. ... I'm trying to do it the right way. This is the way your supposed to do it! Pay attention, fellas."
Usher then turned his back to the camera, while the studio audience applauded wildly. "TRL" host Damien Fahey then attempted to continue with the segment, only to be interrupted as Ush began part two of his verbal assault.
"And my wife had nothing to do with me firing my mother — nothing like that, that's trash," he said, referring to his mother, Jonetta Patton, ceasing to be his manager last year. "I hear y'all talking crazy out there, she's a beautiful black woman. Stop. Stop talking. And I love her. Stop it."
With that, Fahey threw to Usher's "Love in this Club" video, all while the crooner insisted, "I'm not done ... can I say something else?"...............

Tori Spelling compares her husband to a rock!
Exposay:
Tori Spelling says husband Dean McDermott has been her "rock" throughout her second pregnancy.
The former 'Beverly Hills 90210' star - who already has a 14-month-old son Liam with Dean - says she wouldn't have coped if Dean wasn't by her side.
Tori - who is due to give birth to a baby girl next month - said: "I didn't anticipate how hard it would be physically - having a 14-month-old and being very pregnant. I know there are a lot of single moms out there, God bless them! But I can barely carry Liam. I'm really exhausted, and working a lot. So having Dean there by my side, he's my strength. He's my rock."
"When Liam wakes up at five in the morning, I'm thinking, 'Oh my God...' And before I can even put a foot out of the bed, Dean is up. He's got the bottle in one hand, the diaper in the other. And I just think, 'Oh, I love you!'"
Tori also revealed Dean's involvement in their family life has enabled her to become a better mother.
She added to Modern Mom magazine: "All my girlfriends have husbands who have stepped up too. I think this really empowers women to take her career back, do what she wants to do and still be a great mom and a great wife."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fight over twin baby names!
Exposay:
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can't agree on names for their unborn twins.
The couple - who are expecting twins in August - are said to be arguing over potential names because Brad doesn't like Angelina's suggestions.
Gemini Angelina reportedly wants to name the babies Castor and Pollox after the twins of her birth sign, but Brad has dismissed the suggestion as he doesn't want a daughter with a name "like a British cuss word."
Angelina confirmed she was expecting twins in an interview last week after her 'Kung Fu Panda' co-star Jack Black let the news slip during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival.
Actor Dustin Hoffman later revealed the babies are due on August 19. Angelina and Brad already have three adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four, and Zahara, three, and a biological daughter, Shiloh, 23 months.

Hilary Duff has a new fan in the form of respected actor John Cusack, after he was blown away by his younger co-star’s performance in their new movie War, Inc.
Duff ditched her clean-cut image to play a trashy Middle Eastern pop singer in the Cusack-directed war satire, which also stars Joan Cusack, Marisa Tomei and Sir Ben Kingsley.and considers her brave for risking her child-friendly pop princess status.
And the actor/director admits he was shocked by her "wonderful" performance.
Cusack says, "We didn't know her. We knew she wanted to do the movie, which takes a lot of courage for a young girl who's already got huge fan base, who's a big pop star.
"I don't think any of us knew she would be quite as gifted, as intelligent as she is. Not only did she hold her, I think she's every bit as charismatic and wonderful as those other three actors."

Speed Racer is already called a BOMB!
Deadline Hollywood:
SATURDAY AM: As expected, Marvel's Iron Man is the blockbuster No. 1 for the second week in a row. According to distributor Paramount, it took in a str0ng $15 million Friday from 4,111 theaters (-62% from its opening) for what should be a $50 million weekend. Its new cume is a monster $141.4M. But the big story this weekend is what a big bomb Warner Bros' has released. It's now official: Speed Racer is the first domestic box office disaster of the summer (although the PG pic should do better overseas). It placed only No. 3 Friday, well behind Fox's romantic comedy What Happens In Vegas, which opened with $7.1 million from 3,215 venues for what should be a $20 million weekend.
But back to Speed Racer: despite a wide release into 3,606 theaters, the anime actioner opened Friday with only $6.1 million (and some studios said it was merely $5.7M). Even if today's kiddie matinees generate some of the usual high-octane and the movie moves up a notch to second place, it still won't move Speed Racer out of the slow lane or approach Warner Bros' own expectations of a mid-$30s million debut (and that was down from a hoped-for $40 mil a few days before...). The alarming fact is this film will struggle to even make $20 million for the weekend. At an estimated cost of at least $140 million (some sources put the final budget as high as $185 million), this family fare is yet another case of a studio letting talent run amok: the Wachowski siblings of Matrix fame delivered a long, loud, and lousy movie that the Warner Bros bosses were contractually powerless to fix.

Who is the father of Minnie Driver's baby????
Star Pulse:
Actress Minnie Driver has denied Californian musician Craig Zolezzi is the father of her unborn child. The Good Will Hunting star confirmed the news she was pregnant during a March 13th appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, but she was careful not to name the father of the child.
Since then reports have suggested the baby's father was Zolezzi, after it was claimed Driver had allegedly been dating him for over a year. However, now the actress has denied the rumors - insisting the pair are just friends.
She says, "Craig is not the dad! He's my great friend and he's been cool about it. I want to shield the baby's dad as much as I can because it wasn't his choice to get roped into all this stuff. It'll come out in time and there'll be some other bump people will be interested in and I'll have this baby and get on with my life."
Driver is due to give birth in August.

Lindsay Lohan fakes it on the "Ugly Betty" set!
Good behavior? A pleasure to work with? Maybe she is a good actress!
Exposay:
Lindsay Lohan was "terrific" in hit TV show 'Ugly Betty'. The show's creator Silvio Horta revealed the 21-year-old actress - who has had a well-publicized battle with alcohol and drugs - was a "pleasure" to work with on the set of the show, which follows the life of Mode magazine assistant Betty Suarez.
He said: "Lindsay was terrific - a real pleasure. She came in early and was very pleasant. She plays a queen bee girl who Betty went to high school with."
"Her character Kimberly appears in a flashback dodge ball game when she does the picking - it doesn't turn out well for Betty. They are going to run into each other in the present, when Kimberly's life has taken a turn for the worst."
Horta also confirmed Lindsay will return to the show for five episodes next season.
Lindsay isn't the only celebrity to have starred in the show alongside America Ferrera. Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham appeared as magazine editor Wilhelmina Slater's bridesmaid in an episode last year while supermodel Naomi Campbell also filmed a cameo recently.
Lindsay's first appearance in the show will be broadcast in the on May 22.

Will Jessica Simpson try to beat Ashlee Simpson to the altar???
While her baby sis is reportedly on the way to becoming a baby mama, Jessica Simpson is still living the life of a party princess.
The former "Newlywed" was one of the first to arrive at Diddy's after-party held at a private residence in the Hollywood Hills on Friday night (Diddy received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday).
Without her Dallas Cowboy boyfriend Tony Romo to keep her in check, Simpson cracked the whip on the arm of pal Zach Braff until the wee hours. Her former assistant CaCee Cobb and Cobb's "Scrubs" beau Donald Faison toasted to a great night and (interestingly) Jessica's "happiness."
"I have never felt better," the blonde bombshell was heard telling the close-knit group, adding that she was "just so excited."
Jess was toasting with a glass of champagne, so we're assuming she isn't "expecting" ... but could an engagement ring be en route? Stay tuned.

Ashlee Simpson refuses to have her sister Jessica Simpson's music played at her wedding!
Entertainmentwise:
Ashlee Simpson has snubbed her big sister Jessica Simpson at her wedding - well, her music at least.
The 23-year-old is currently preparing for her marriage to Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, but balked at the suggestion the pair would party at the reception to some of Jessica’s dities.
"No, that would be really nerdy," Ashlee sagely tells Heat Radio.
Sounds like Ashlee can’t wait to tie the knot though, The Mirror reports she missed Pete so much during her current London promotional trip she had him flown over from America.

Gwyneth Paltrow eats junk!
People:
Hello Apple ... bye-bye brown rice. Becoming a mom made Gwyneth Paltrow abandon her famously strict diet, she says. "I was seriously macrobiotic for four years," she tells BBC talk show host Jonathan Ross in a program set to air Friday in the U.K. "When I [first] got pregnant, it changed. I couldn't go near anything healthy." Since giving birth to daughter Apple (whom she calls "Appley-Dappley") in 2004 and son Moses in 2006, Paltrow's tastes give a whole new twist to the term "Yummy Mummy." "I love anything fried – fish and chips – Branston pickle [jarred relish], red wine," she told the show. And she admits to regularly enjoying a pint of her favorite stout, Guinness.
