Star Jones and Barbara Walters are staging their own version of "The Hills" -- just 50 years later!

Star Jones unleashed a verbal ass-whooping on Barbara Walters today, telling Us Weekly, "It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book ... It speaks to her true character."
Star is referring to the revelation Walters made that she had an affair with then-married Senator Edward Brooke during the 1970s -- and the fact that Walters claims in her new book Jones forced her to lie on "The View" about Jones' gastric bypass surgery.
For her part, Walters' rep refused to comment back, saying, "I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara's written words say it all!"

Jennifer Aniston chillaxed and texted away (to John Mayer, perhaps?) while catching some Miami rays on Sunday.
Does she own any regular clothes or just bikinis? Not that we're complaining ...

Miley Cyrus might be boo-hooing about this Vanity Fair shoot, but we're told that her parents were with her "the entire time" and that they knew everything that was going on. So any suggestion that Annie Leibovitz tricked Miley into taking racy shots are absurd: "There was no subterfuge," we're told.

Well-placed sources at Vanity Fair say that the mag is "happy for all the press -- we're selling magazines, after all," and when it comes to Miley's suggestion that the legendary Leibovitz got her to take a topless shot, "Are you going to believe Annie Leibovitz or Miley Cyrus?"
For her part, Leibovitz said in a statement, "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted."

That shady Dr. Jan Adams just can't stay away from the danger zone, like the socialite he's rumored to be dating who could link him -- and not in a good way -- to that carb nemesis Dr. Robert Atkins.
We hear that he's cutting up with socialite Ildiko Varga. Don't know her? This chicky used to hook up with an alleged gigolo named Alexis Mersentes, who married Veronica Atkins after her hubby -- yes, THE Dr. Atkins -- died.
And here's where it gets real juicy ...

After years of anticipation, Miley Cyrus ... aka Hannah Montana ... may finally be writing her autobiography! It would have been announced sooner, but the project was held up until she finished her first high school English class.
Besides the 200 pages of "Miley Timberlake," "Miley Loves Zac" and "I Heart the Jonas Brothers" -- all doodled with hearts and stars -- it probably won't be any longer than this post.

Artie Lange stormed off the "Howard Stern Show" today, causing pangs of anxiety throughout Howard's loyal legions of fans that the bloated comic indeed put a fork in himself and would not be coming back.

The drama started when Artie and his assistant, Teddy, were heard fighting in the hallway. Howard later brought it up on air, causing Artie to lose his damn mind and at one point lunge at the assistant.
Sources close to the show tell TMZ that both the fight and the situation are definitely real. As for Artie never coming back -- we're not so sure.

The paps were in overdrive yesterday, grilling Sophie Monk over the whole Ryan Seacrest dating rumor -- but in the nick of time, Queen on the Scene came to her rescue!
Though we're not sure if having a homeless woman put her hand over your face, almost walking you into a parked car and then getting into an elevator with you qualifies as a serious rescue.
As for Ryan, let this pic of the pair out to dinner last night put that issue to rest.

The newly married (or not) couple spent their first full day of (alleged) wedding bliss in romantic North Carolina.

Mr. Z chartered a private jet to take him and his wife, girlfriend, lady friend to Greensboro where he performed at a concert. The hooded rapper was sporting what maybe, sort of, looks like it might be a wedding ring.
The camera-shy couple did show off a matching pair of ... laptops.

Hmmm ... let's get this straight, you falsely accuse someone of having an affair and then apologize -- calling it an inconvenience. Oh, that little thing.
That's exactly what X17 just did to Tony Parker and Eva Longoria. Last December the photo agency posted the scandalicious claims of model Alexandra Paressant, who said she had an affair with Tony after he married his little Eva. Problem was -- Parker had never even met Paressant! We know -- details, details.
X17 posted an apology Friday, saying, in part, "X17online.com and X7 [sic], Inc. regret having been misled by Ms. Paressant and her representatives and apologize to Mr. Parker for any damage or inconvenience this may have caused him or his wife."
In a related story, X17 apologized to Sharon Tate's family on behalf of Charles Manson for that little thing a while back.
