Lets Get This Party Started
Fainting Spell a Fake?

Sources on the set of "Dancing With the Stars" tell TMZ that Marie Osmond's fainting spell was scripted -- to the point where she had a writer just off camera feeding her lines when she stood up!
Marie Osmond Faints
Our moles say Marie has a writer on set at all times, prompting her with witty conversation. One on-set source says he was in position when Marie went down -- and didn't miss a beat.

And get this -- Marie, we're told, is seriously on the hunt for a "successful guy." We're told she's asking some highfalutin people if they know someone who's available. Marie is divorcing hubby number two.

Marie's rep tells us that reports of a writer on set are "absolutely false." "There is no writer on set feeding her lines," she says, "Her manager is there and we (her publicists) are there but no one is feeding her lines." As for a fake faint? Her rep says that's "ridiculous. Why would anyone fake fainting on a live TV show? That show happened during the wildfires and Marie has allergies, there was smoke in the air which was extremely toxic. The trailers for the show are outside the stage and she was breathing the air. It's happened before." And lastly, the rep says Marie is NOT on the prowl. "She's going through a divorce," we're told, "She's not looking to meet someone now – she wants to spend time with her kids. Dating is the last thing on her mind."




Jingle Dang, Brit Gets Kids on Xmas!


Brit Kfed Lawyers for Britney and K-Daddy have worked out an arrangement for who gets the kids for the Xmas holidays.

We've learned, under the deal hammered out by Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, and Brit's disso-cutie, Anne Kiley -- Spears will open presents with the kids on Christmas day, and eat whatever best accompanies a Fanta. It's only fair, since K-Fed got the kids for Thanksgiving dinner.


Chippendales Dancer Flies into World Record!


Smokin' hot Chippendales dancer Brandon Pereyda succeeded in breaking the Guinness world record for the most vertical "roll-downs" on aerial silks. Who knew there was even a record? If ever there were a guy for the job, it's Brandon.


With a total of 13 rolls in one minute, Brandon rolled his way into the next Guinness Book of World Records, becoming the first Chippendale to break a record. These boys are usually more acquainted with breaking hearts.

Brandon and the other Chippendales perform nightly at the Rio in Las Vegas.



Pinkberry Guys Snap-To for LiLo


Click to play!A simple trip to Pinkberry turned into chaos in West Hollywood yesterday -- so much so that two staffers took it upon themselves to escort Lindsay to car. These guys put the "pink" in Pinkberry!

After shutting down the store just to serve her, the two overzealous employees waded through paps to help Lindz back to her ride. One can be heard yelling, "Don't snatch!" while the other screamed out, "I'll f**k one of you up!"

Now that's good customer service!



Kim K. Ripped Off! $50,000 in Bling Jacked at JFK


Kim Kardashian had diamonds, jewelry and other items allegedly stolen out of her luggage at JFK airport as she traveled from New York to Las Vegas. Bum-mer!
Kim K
TMZ has learned that The Tush and sister Kourtney walked into a terminal at JFK and were approached by fans and paparazzi, including several Delta employees. A source close to Kim star with baggage-- click to launchtells TMZ that when several Delta employees asked for autographs and photos with her, items were somehow lifted from her bags. The items include $50,000 worth of diamond jewelry, a Cartier watch, and Kim's laptop and digital camera -- contents unknown!

The airline offered only baggage information claim tickets, which have a number and name written in black marker. Kim's reps are looking into the possibility that she was set up by employees working for the airline.

32. I don't care whether or not Marie "really" fainted ... I do care that she can't dance and has bumped off others that CAN ... which is a shame. SHE should give it up and just leave.

She wants to promote her Dolly line and doesn't care who she has to hurt in order to get it done.

GO HOME MARIE ... Sing or leave.

33. The bottom line is WHO CARES! None of thes fakes are going to put a nickle in my pocket or add a second to my life. Not only are they pathetic, but the media is even more so by pandering to their vanity and insanity.

34. After reading through some of the other comments left on this page, I am left bewildered and confused. I, like the rest of you, sit and read through this trash and filth because it's amusing to read about celebrities with drama. It reminds us that they are people too. I am not one of those who hangs on every word that comes from the mouths of the "Hollyweird" A-listers, but sometimes, the rest of the free world needs to be reminded that celebrities put their pants on one leg at a time as well. As for TMZ, printing a story like that about Marie Osmond.....what fools you are. Must be slow "news" day for you.

35. I am not a fan of Britney's music, however, with that said, I think it is a damn shame what she has to go through with the papparazi and gossip magazines. I think I would run over entire bodies...not just feet...if someone were following me close enough to reach inside my car and grab my children. Just think how terrified her children must be when they are in the car with her and there are flashing cameras and tons of people surrounding the car. How awful. Maybe if you ALL get out of her way, she could keep herself out of the trouble you all cause her. Jerks.
p.s. She has the kids for Chrismas because since KFED no longer gets alimony..YEAH...he can't afford presents..LOL

36. Your nuts if you think Marie faked her fainting spell. No star would want to hit the floor that hard and without notice. Personally I hope Marie wins.

37. Well there is on comment box for this whole page and what a bunch of crap. Hoff's girls are ugly and one spends too much time in front of the tv eating doughnuts. Brits pic was good. You can tell that she was not insane then. I think her husband sent her over the edge. NOW, for the Marie bad acting. It is a shame that some people just can't lose gracefully. I think the Olsen girls are finally realizing that they are not so cute anymore. This is not the first time Kim traveled. She should know that you don't check baggage that you value so much. Sullivan is really handsome but I think he should have been working on making his muscle in the calvin undies a litte bit bigger. Looks are not everything you know!

39. Of course Marie's fainting spell was a fake...staged to get sympathy votes to stay on the show. I've said this from day one. When someone goes out cold like that and hits the floor, you would not see their leg move INWARD moments later. HERS DID, and it seems like she did it to keep from showing her panties on camera. And I wondered why she began jumping up and down like a nut only seconds before the fall. That was obviously done to provide an alibi for the soon-to-be fainting spell.
It was as phony as she is. She wanted to stay on this show to garner the publicity the Osmonds need to maintain a successful comeback tour. The appearance on Oprah on the day of her father's burial pretty much cemented that scenario. She's been no better than average as a dancer and has not been a popular celebrity in years so it's sad that she had to resort to the sympathy card. No other dancer has done that. She practically begs at every opportunity for viewers to vote for her, often citing her age as a factor in deserving the votes.
And I have to wonder what role her brother Donnie (or Jimmy) has played in this scam. I can't wait to hear what whine she has in store tonight.

40. Marie was defintely faking that fainting spell. She will do anything for a pity vote. You know those osmonds they got to win and be good at everything. Well, she's not really good at dancing. I hope Mel B wins. She's a better dancer.

41. I have to agree with a lot of people here that TMZ is a Rat Magazine. As far as Marie Osmond is concerned I don't think that was scripted at all. She fell pretty hard. And, the person supposedly feeding her lines, maybe was to help cover up the embarrassment from the faint.
As long as there are gossip mags and websites people will read them. I admit I do, but do I take them seriously? No, I don't. It's just good entertainment.

On the note of Britany Spears.. she's got some serious problems, just like the Olsen twin, Lindsay Lohan... this is what happens when they make money overnight and their parents aren't setting limits. Sad really, because the ones suffering are people like Britany's children.

42. I can't believe the stuff people get up in arms about... X-Mas? I guess it's less merry if you don't include Christ. WTF???

As far as these sad celebs, more power to 'em. The mess that gets picked up and slung around for news these days. I'm SOOO SOOO SOOO glad I'm not in the industry. I'd be in constant misery.

As far as fake fainting- it still hasn't made me want to watch the show so who cares?

Posted at 3:33PM on Nov 27th 2007 by Merry Xmas...Sorry Christ, for not throwing your name in front of it.

43. Wait! You're trying to tell me there are actually people who believed that fainting act? C'Mon people!

44. Oh yeah! Right on Donatella #34. You hit the nail on the head. I watched that tape three times. PHONY. And you know she will whine tonight on the finale. And push those freakin dolls of hers. I am just waiting for all that Botox to go POP!!!

45. It is no surprise really,tmz is a plastic co.dealing with plastic people in a plastic world.In other words fake,fake,fake!
It must tick you off when you run into a real person!!!!!!!!!!
Marie is such a real person.She has never tried to be anything more than an entertainer,she has always been real about herself and her life.She has been scandel free because of it.She is a good mother and been a faithful wife.In other words the exact opposite of your plastic queen Spears.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,This must tick you off a great deal as there is no money in real people especially if they are also honest and decent.
If you paid "your sources",they ripped you off.You took hook line and sinker and were gutted.
If you think money is the answer to everything,I suggest you go back and pay your "sources " even more money to tell you the truth.Or is it a few people in a back office with outragious immagineations that make up this "inside" information?????????????
