A lot of celebs have been shockingly ambivalent on the Chris Brown/Rihanna front -- we mean you, Ashanti -- but Natasha Bedingfield finally said what we've all been thinking: "A man should never hit a woman."
Filed under: Rihanna, Chris Brown
Ashanti claims if she were in Rihanna's shoes, she "doesn't know" if she would have called the police on the night Chris Brown allegedly beat her up. Hopefully, she'll never have to make that decision. 
TMZ asked Jose Canseco, the pumped-up former baseballer, if he knew who the "biggest juicer" was in MLB today, and sadly, he wasn't in the know. "Wild 'N Out" star Nick Cannon had something to say about a different juice, Mr. O.J. Simpson, telling TMZ to "Stop messin' with him!"
Also seen in L.A.: Masi Oka with "Borat" sidekick Ken Davitian, a "stylish" Fred Willard, "chubby chaser" Carson Kressley, and a smiling (not spitting) Avril Lavigne.
In NY: Sexy "Good Luck Chuck" co-stars Jessica Alba and Dane Cook at TRL, where Ashanti was spotted as well. Also, an impatient Steven Van Zandt outside Pastis.

They haven't been seen in public as a couple, but John Mayer and Cameron Diaz were spotted in the same block of NYC yesterday.
TMZ cameras caught Jessica Simpson's ex-borefriend in SoHo yesterday, after eating at La Esquina with an unknown buddy. As Mayer dined inside, and by sheer coincidence no doubt, our cameraman says he saw Cameron Diaz drive by the restaurant -- but she did not stop and join her rumored plaything. Mayer came out and posed with some fans before walking away. Odd.
Also out in NYC: "Step Up" co-stars/lovers Jenna Dewan and a bearded Channing Tatum, Jamie Lynn Sigler leaving Butter, as well as Ashanti -- who had to hold up her dress to avoid having a wardrobe malfunction -- and a pimpin' Mario Winans, who were star guests at an Estrada Entertainment soiree.
It was pretty slow in L.A., TMZ cameras spotting Paris Hilton making a quick escape from Hyde and Christina Aguilera's hubby Jordan Bratman stepping out solo at Koi.

What's up with Omarion's new album? --Kelly
Kelly, Omarion has a lot of work to do for his follow-up album, "21." The first single from the album is not doing well on the Billboard 100 right now, which is kind of a shock, considering his debut album "O" soared to number one. But he still has time to redeem himself. December 12, the CD hits stores, then he begins touring in Miami (with Ne-Yo) three days later to promote his sophomore release. Good luck!

R&B superstar Ashanti knows how to party ... birthday party that is.
Ashanti celebrated her 26th birthday over the weekend in Las Vegas at the celebrity equivalent of Chuck E. Cheese for birthday parties -- TAO nightclub at the Venetian.
Ashanti's "good friend" Nelly played the role of erotic dance partner, doing a little bump and grind with the b-day girl to Nelly's hit song "Shake Ya Tailfeather." But the highlight of the evening came when the DJ cranked up one of Ashanti's hits and brought out the cake. As fans gathered and snapped pics, Ashanti and Nelly smiled uncontrollably while everyone ate the cake.
We can't wait 'til her 27th birthday.

Being famous can help stars roll into some of the hottest spots in town, but it doesn't always help them roll out. 
This weekend some of Hollywood's hottest were knocked back down to regular person status, after they were subjected to broken down, locked and even lost cars as they attempted to leave their respected hotspots. Talk about a real buzzkill.
Ashanti started her night partying in one of NY's trendiest locales Butter, only to find herself unable to re-board her Range Rover at the end of the evening. Jack Osbourne also experienced some pre-road rage Saturday, when the valet at Hyde in LA appeared to have misplaced his car. Oops.
TMZ also caught up with Mary-Kate Olsen, who's car just plain died in a gas station. The billionaire twin was even forced to jump start the engine (well, not herself. of course).
Stacy Keibler didn't even have a ride, which makes getting home pretty difficult. Thank goodness TMZ cameraman Josh Levine was around to save the day with a traffic-stopping gesture of kindness!!

4) Gossip in Maryland Has Just GOTTA KNOW: What happened to Ashanti? A few years ago she was the biggest thing and now I haven't heard anything from her. And is she still with Nelly?
Although her relationship with Nelly cannot be confirmed, the talk around town is that they are an item. And they've been spotted in each other's company as well -- the most recent at The Black and White Ball in St. Louis, hosted by Nelly himself. July 28 marks the release date for her latest movie "John Tucker Must Die" where she stars alongside Sophia Bush as one of the many girlfriends of playboy John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe). Expect to see Ashanti on "Live with Regis and Kelly" on Tuesday, July 25 as well. Read more about co-star Jesse Metcalfe's not so intimate date earlier this month.
5) Jeff Has Just GOTTA KNOW: Who is Jake Gyllenhaal dating?
In the past few months, it seems as though Jake Gyllenhaal has picked right up from where he left off after splitting with on-again-off-again girlfriend Kirsten Dunst. (Could this time be for good?) So much so that two women have been spotted on his arm in the last couple of months. Olympic snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler and sporty Jake were seen keeping each other company and it had been rumored that Gretchen would be moving to LA to be closer to the stud. But most recently, he's been taking up with the likes of Natalie Portman -- his love interest before Dunst. In fact, the two of them were spotted side by side at Matthew McConaughey's 4th of July weekend BBQ bash, rarely leaving each other. So could Jake be trading in his male bonding time with McConaughey for some quality time with Portman? We'll just have to let time tell! 
6) Jessica Has Just GOTTA KNOW: Where is Aaron Carter?
A spat with brother Nick Carter is among the list of the latest with Aaron Carter. The two exchanged blows last Monday right before announcing their new reality TV show "House of Carters." But fear not, the fight was nothing dramatic enough to end the brotherly bond. As Nick explained to PEOPLE, "Eh, we're brothers, it happened," adding that it was all "over a little misinterpretation." The argument occurred at the annual Television Critics Association convention and was broken up by a "House of Carters" cameraman. Now although we don't have any still shots of the fight, you can expect to see the whole thing, which was caught on tape, on the Carter brothers' show. It debuts in October on E!. For more sibling and family rivalries, read on.
