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.
Dancing Catcher -- clcik to play
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.

Delta told us they were "investigating Ms. Kardashian's claim regarding a loss of valuables from her baggage."

Posted at 3:40PM on Nov 27th 2007 by SOMEONE IS STARTING A RUMOR OF MARIE ...........YES SHE DID AND DOES PASS OUT UNDER STRESS

47. I have a medical background and have seen lots and lots of people faint. Every last one of them fell forward then down. In the video of Ms Osmond she falls backwards then down, the classic Hollywood swoon. Based on that I would wager that it was fake.

49. Oh yeah and I believe in Christ just in case some wants to find some blasphemy in my comment, but I will say this-
I can't remember the last time anyone I know thanked Christ for their gifts or made church their priority ... to feel offended or what have you over what someone chooses to call ONE DAY a year is childish and simple- GET OVER IT!!!
These day sit's all about "what I'm gonna get", "What I want"or" what I'm gonna give so and so who gave me...last year", let's not pretend that the holyness of this day has been properly preserved through the years. It hasn't. It doesn't even feel the same.

I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Posted at 3:48PM on Nov 27th 2007 by Merry Xmas...Sorry Christ, for not throwing your name in front of it.

50. Marie should not even be in the final!

51. TMZ is just about as reliable as Britney Spears is a devoted Mommy.
Yesterday they claim Britney is adopting twins from China. Sure, a country that has one of the strictest adoption laws. Now they are saying Marie is a fake. Oh pullllllllllleaze. If anyone out there believes in this stuff then I also guess they believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

52. Tell me...do you think Marie hastened her 93 year old father's death to insure the "pity vote" too?
I'm just sayin....Donny and Marie have milked EVERY ounce of publicity out of her turn on this program...including a disgusting show on Oprah with about 100 close family members getting their 15 minutes off the old man's demise!
Shameful...this celebrity disease.

53. Yes, I'm sure Marie faked it and then was dumb enough to have someone feeding her lines to the side. NOT. The person telling her what to say was probably her publicist going into spin control to mitigate the fact that Marie was jumping around like a maniac before she passed out and looking totally wacko. Or it was one of the show's producers doing their own spin control.

As to her hunting for a successful guy, I can tell you that there has been someone erroneously posting on quite a few websites that she (and other celebs) are signed up at some millionaire dating website. It is not legitimate. They are posting the link to the website all over the internet to get people to go there and it's a shame that whoever is doing it is falsely using celebrities' names. That may be how THAT whole rumor got started.

TMZ, you have really gone into the gutter with what you report. You mock everyone for being old, fat, too skinny or whatever else you can make yourselves laugh at. You refer to quite a few people as being trashy, etc. but you are proving yourselves to be the trashiest of all. No class.

54. Re: Marie Osmond and the "mole".
Think about it - if the fainting spell was pre-planned, the "writer" wouln't have to be "feeding her lines" when she stood up - the lines would have been REHEARSED AS WELL! Duh! You "mole" should go back in his hole.

55. In regards to Marie Osmond's fainting spell. WHO CARES! There are people starving to death in this world... and thousands getting slaughtered in Darfur by Islamic extremists... and a story about Marie Osmond fainting is making news.

That's pathetic.

56. I don't believe Marie faked that at all. I do believe she wants a man tho and with 8 kids I'm not sure why.

57. If you are complaining that TMZ should only print important news, then why are you here reading and commenting ? And the one that said that he or she or it would be embarrassed to say they were related to them because they were " a bunch of trashy stuck up bitches " thank you for showing us how much more classy you are...What a joke you are.....

58. I think Marie is a phony.
All that Polly Pureheart crap, but people forget she's already looking for a third husband.
And all her whining about being 48 and therefore deserving a break on DWTS- she joined the cast and agreed to abide by the rules. She shouldn't get special dispensation for being middle aged or a mother of 8.
P H O N Y.
