Alison Clinton: I'm Not the Other Woman
She's the woman named in Sara Evans' explosive divorce papers but Alison Clinton is fighting back claims she committed adultery with the country singer's husband.
"It's just devastating. It absolutely feels like a death, there's just no explanation for it," Clinton tells "EXTRA," "it just kills me inside ... I cry myself to sleep every night."
Clinton was a former nanny for the "Dancing with the Stars" contestant, who is set to announce her resignation from the show this evening, and claims her reason for leaving the job was not due to any affair with Craig Schelske but to an eating disorder. Clinton adds Evans was even the matron of honor at her recent wedding.
Obviously unhappy with the allegations, Clinton is threatening to sue Evans if she doesn't remove her name in the divorce papers and adds she'd even submit to a lie detector test if necessary.
The full interview with Clinton airs tonight on "EXTRA."

Sara Evans Won't Spill the Beans on "Dancing"
If you want the dish from Sara Evans on why she's bailing from her marriage and "Dancing With the Stars," prepare to be very frustrated.
A source directly connected with Evans and her divorce case tells TMZ that the country star will indeed appear for approximately six minutes on tonight's show, but her statement regarding her marriage is "very vanilla."
Evans filed for divorce last week claiming her husband cheated on her-- but that's just the beginning. Evans claims her husband has photographs of himself having sex with other women and has at least 100 nude photos of himself in a state of arousal. Craig Schelske, Evan's husband, denies the allegations.
TMZ is told Evans will not talk about the allegation on tonight's "Dancing with the Stars." Indeed, Evans will not even reference her husband. The statement she will make centers around doing what's best for her three children.

Eva and Tony Suck Face
Hey, they don't call Paris the "Romance Capital of the World" for nothing, folks. Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, who had been going through a rough time in their otherwise storybook relationship lately, appear to have patched things up... at least for the moment. The two were seen sucking face at a popular French nightclub until the wee hours of the morning last week.
The liplock came just days after a spokeswoman for the "Desperate Housewives" star claimed the two were focusing on "working things out." Looks like they're making pretty good progress.

Heather Mills' Road Rage
Heather Mills honked her horn and hit the accelerator while trying to exit a parking garage. And don't expect her to put the top down on her convertible purple PT Cruiser - even in sunny Los Angeles.
That's because everywhere the soon-to-be-ex-wife of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney goes she is mobbed by photogs.
In this video, Mills is clearly irritated by the paparazzi who circle her car while she waits a minute or two to get past the gate.
She leaned on the horn twice and when she finally had a clear path, we distinctly heard the screech of tires. Baby, you can't drive my car.

Jen and Vince: The Way They Weren't
Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston are finished ... or so it seems. The "Break-Up" stars confirmed through third parties yesterday in Us Weekly that their year-long fling is over. Since last October, the couple has been seen in all kinds of cozy positions -- but they've also done everything possible not to be seen together. What is certain is this: the DVD release of "The Break-Up" follows rather conveniently soon upon the heels of the couple's own publicly announced split.
So were they just playing coy this whole time, or did they contrive one of the most closely-followed non-relationships ever? (They are actors, after all.) TMZ takes a look back at the L'Affair Vaughniston.

Nick: Paris Cheated on Me w/ Chad Michael Murray
It was bombshell after bombshell when Nick Carter called into Ryan Seacrest's top-rated morning show on KIIS FM in Los Angeles Thursday morning. The former Backstreet Boy shocked both Ryan and listeners by claiming he "hooked up" with Ashlee Simpson, as an act of revenge against his ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton.
According to Carter, Paris forced the situation after she allegedly cheated on him with her "House of Wax" co-star Chad Michael Murray. When asked if Murray was together with his ex-wife Sophia Bush at the time, Nick promptly responded, "Yeah."
After repeated apologies to Ashlee, Nick explained that he never meant to "throw her under the bus in the whole entire situation." He wasn't as kind to Paris. "Paris and her are two different people and Ashlee is a good person from what I know ... and I'm not saying that Paris is a bad person, but I'm saying she's got to work her problems out."
Nick said the initial reason for his call was to apologize, telling Ryan "this was one of those things I wanted to keep under wraps ... and then my brother kind of let the cat out of the bag."

Nicole and Brody Split Nic's Heart 'Never In It'
After two months of trying to elevate their longtime friendship to something resembling a relationship, Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner have called it quits, but say that they're remaining "close friends." According to Us Weekly, Richie initiated the break-up at Jenner's home in Malibu, and the reality-TV pair – known mainly for being the children of Lionel Richie and Olympian Bruce Jenner – decided mutually to go it alone.
"[Nicole] felt it was a mistake to jump into a relationship so soon after her breakup with [ex-boyfriend Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein]." Of course, according to her MySpace blog, as PerezHilton.com ponts out, Nicole already appears to have a somewhat slender recollection of her time with childhood friend Jenner: "I know there are rumors regarding my 'breakup' with Brody Jenner. The truth is, we were never really together ... my heart was never in it. Anything further is just a cry for publicity." Ouch.
Something's in the air, clearly: Just yesterday, it became public that "The Break-Up" co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn had also split.
Babs Opens Tour, Ridicules Bush, Sings With Prompters
The original diva, Barbra Streisand, began her first tour in 12 years last night with a show that highlighted some of her beloved hits – and took aim at one of Babs' favorite targets, President George W. Bush. Streisand, playing before a capacity crowd of 16,000 at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center, took on the President with a skit that features a fake Bush uttering such lines as "I'm concerned about the national debt, so I'm selling Canada," and "If I cared about the polls I would have run for president of Poland." Now that, friends, is acidic political satire.
Babs also had to use a teleprompter to remember the words to her own songs, saying that she had been so unnerved when she flubbed the words to three songs at a 1967 concert in New York that she stopped giving live concerts for over 20 years.
Keith "Embarrassed" About Tree Incident
So he wasn't hunting for coconuts, and he didn't really fall out of a tree while climbing it. Rolling Stone Keith Richards sets the record straight about his fall from a tree in Rolling Stone magazine – and he thinks it's "embarrassing." Just to clarify the situation once and for all, Keith says, "I was sitting on this gnarled shrub about six feet of the ground. I was wet – I'd been swimming. I hit the ground the wrong way, my head hit the trunk, and that was that." Keith, God bless, but we still don't have any idea what you're talking about. Still, Richards had to have emergency head surgery – and face scads of public ridicule – following the incident. He's recovered from the accident.
Clay Doesn't Listen To Elton
Mop-topped "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken continues to do his best to evade questions about his sexuality. Rush & Molloy caught up with the singer at a performance of "Hairspray" starring his former "Idol" colleague Diana DeGarmo, and asked him the big question. They took a different tack – asking his thoughts about a recent warning from no less an authority on unveiling one's gayness than Elton John, who said that Clay will keep getting the same question until he addresses it. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he said, before taking off with the female members of his family.
Party Favors: De Niro Lays Out Dinero For New Pad, Maggie Has Baby Girl, "Knights" Get Pushed Back
Lower Manhattan's most famous resident, Robert De Niro, has finally found a place uptown – for a cool $23 million. The actor and his wife Grace Hightower, according to the New York Post's Braden Keil, bought their Upper West Side duplex, after a long search, from the ex-wife of film mogul Harvey Weinstein. Their new place has a projection room, not to mention five bedrooms and 6 ½ baths ... The world's most photographed pregnant woman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and fiancé Peter Sarsgaard had their first child Tuesday afternoon, a baby girl named Ramona, reports People. "Everyone is healthy and happy," says Maggie's rep ... Much-anticipated ABC comedy "Knights of Prosperity" – the one where a bunch of guys try to rob Mick Jagger – has been delayed from its Oct. 17 premiere to give the network more time to give the show a better promotional push.

Eva's Post Break-Up Debut
On Friday, the same day as news swirled that Eva Longoria and longtime boyfriend Tony Parker had broken up, Longoria hit the town for the grand opening of her hairstylist Ken Paves' LA salon.
But despite the public appearance, Eva wasn't talking about the split.
Upon her arrival to the Robertson Blvd. beauty parlor, a rep for the event asked Longoria if she wanted to do press to which she said "I'm not doing any."
Longoria did manage to fake a smile and pose for photographers alone and with Paves and her fellow single pal Jessica Simpson.
Eva and her team of handlers left the event, but not before she could pretend she didn't hear a photographer ask if she was single now.
While EXTRA confirmed the breakup, Eva's publicist said the duo were "going through a very difficult time." Which may be news to Parker who told the San Antonio Express News, "Everything's fine. A couple stuff happened, but that's nothing. Everything is fine."
Looks like Tony and Eva have different definitions of the word 'fine.'

Lindsay's Case of the Ex
Though Lindsay Lohan told cameras on Monday she's still with boyfriend Harry Morton, he's got a different story.
"Lindsay is an amazing girl and we're just sort of taking a little breather right now," Morton told "EXTRA" correspondent Carlos Diaz, adding the two are "slowing things down."
The pair garnered a lot of attention from the paparazzi, something Morton took issue with. He tells Diaz, "There's just a lot of pressure sometimes, it can screw things up, the media getting involved, it always makes it more difficult."
Harry's also slamming reports he bought La Lohan an engagement ring in August while cameras caught him shopping at Cartier. His actual purchase that day -- a lighter.
Though his personal life may be having a rough patch, his Pink Taco restaurant chain is taking off. With one in Las Vegas and another in Scottsdale, AZ, Morton plans to expand the chain to at least six other locations, with one in Los Angeles opening in January 2007.

Lindsay Mumbles, World Listens
Lindsay's recent breakup with Harry Morton seems to have a taken its toll on the party girl.
TMZ obtained paparazzi footage from Tuesday night where Lindsay was spotted at a 7-11 with her friend, hairstylist Andy LeCompte. While Andy was inside shopping, the paparazzi tried talking to Lindsay. What they got was a stream of almost unintelligible mumbling from what seems like a girl going through a heart break.
"Seriously this is a little much right now... please just leave me alone"
When Lindsay's pal does return and and they drive off, Lindsay flashes her patented peace sign to the paparazzi who exclaim, "You rock!"
Hopefully these Morton blues pass because we can't wait to get our old cursing Lindsay back.

Carter to Seacrest: Engagement Was a 'Mistake'
Aaron Carter told E! News anchor Ryan Seacrest what everyone knew all along -- that his engagement to Kari Ann Peniche was a "mistake."
"I made the mistake and she made a mistake too," Carter said in his first on-camera interview since the news broke. "We both did."
Carter made headlines last week by proposing to former Playboy Playmate Kari Ann Peniche in Las Vegas after only knowing her for 5 days. Peniche previously dated Carter's older brother, Nick.
Be sure to tune into E! News tonight at 7PM ET/PT for the full interview. And, in a complete programming coincidence, Aaron's new show, "House of Carters," premieres Monday October 2 at 9PM ET/PT.
J. Lo Drops The Firm's Kwatinetz As Manager
TMZ has learned exclusively that Jennifer Lopez parted ways over the weekend with her manager of over a year, Hollywood heavyweight Jeff Kwatinetz, head of management company The Firm.
The actress-singer-fashion icon's last year has been less than fruitful professionally: Her 2005 album "Rebirth" was a disappointment, and though her role in "An Unfinished Life" with Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman was critically praised, the film itself failed to generate the expected awards-season buzz.
The split comes just before a flurry of professional activity for J.Lo. "Bordertown," in which she plays a journalist investigating the murder of young female factory workers and stars with Antonio Banderas, will be released in October, and "El Cantante," a biographical account of one of the pioneers of salsa (the dance, not the condiment), Hector Lavoe, in which she stars alongside her husband Marc Anthony, just premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, where it received positive reviews and is scheduled to be released in the next several months. Her album of Spanish-language ballads "Como Ama Una Mujer" ("The Way A Woman Loves") is also scheduled for release in November.
In the last year, several managers have left The Firm, taking with them such high-profile acts as the Dixie Chicks, Orlando Bloom and Natalie Portman. The Firm issued a statement to TMZ, saying, "Jennifer is a dear friend of The Firm and will remain so regardless of the business relationship. This was a decision based on differing styles and expectations and we wish her the absolute best."
A rep for Lopez tells TMZ they have no comment at this time.
Mother Hawn To the Rescue
The last couple of weeks have been a little shakey for Kate Hudson. After splitting from her husband, Kate needed some sun, sand and meditation. She immediately jetted off to Hawaii to escape from the rat race and take it down a notch.
Now she's returned home to the nest and has been spending time getting support from her mother Goldie Hawn. The two were seen shopping in Santa Monica on Tuesday. While Kate appeared to be indecisive as to where to go, Goldie stepped in and took control of the reigns. Good ol' mom to the rescue.

LeBlanc Divorce Can They Still Be 'Friends'?
The marriage between "Joey" star Matt LeBlanc and wife Melissa is officially over. TMZ has obtained documents filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court that outline the details of their divorce settlement.
The couple will share joint physical and legal custody of their two year-old daughter Marina. The documents outline that Matt is also responsible for 100% of the costs that may stem from private school tuition, uninsured medical costs, the services of a nanny and must pay for his daughter's college expenses. The court says Matt is a "high-wage earner," and will pay $15,000 a month in child support.
As far as his former wife is concerned, the couple had entered into a prenuptial agreement before they were married. Melissa waived her right for spousal support based on a cash amount she received from that agreement, the terms of which are confidential. A source directly connected with the couple, however, tells TMZ that the prenup made Melissa "a very rich person."
The couple was married in May of 2003.

Poor Matt Lawyers Are SOOOOOO Expen$ive!
Matt LeBlanc has got to be one of the richest dudes in show biz. So imagine our shock when we pulled his divorce papers from the courts and discovered that he filed them In Pro Per. For those of you who don't speak lawyer, Matt is representing himself!
LeBlanc is getting a divorce from Melissa, his wife of three years. The couple has a two-year-old girl. And the couple has a serious bank account. So why would Matt not lawyer up in a potentially high-stakes divorce?
We're told Matt felt he could do it all himself. TMZ knows the "Friends" star had a prenup so money wasn't going to be an issue. And we're told Matt and Melissa agreed to joint custody. So, perhaps in an effort to save a few bucks, Matt and Melissa went to a mediator. Melissa actually did eventually hire a lawyer. But Matt was a regular Jacoby AND Meyers, going it alone.
Actually, we're told in the last few months, Matt has consulted with celebrity powerhouse lawyer Neal Hersh, a partner in Hersh, Mannis and Bogen. And we're told just last week, Matt formally hired Hersh to put the finishing touches on the remnants of his marriage.
The bottom line -- the guy's a regular Matt-lock!

Whitney & Bobby: What About Baby?
Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown may finally be moving on with their lives after a tumultuous 14-year marriage, but sources familiar with the family from their time in New Jersey tell TMZ say that the real victim in the divorce battle will no doubt be daughter Bobbi Kristina, and that she might actually be better off living apart from her parents altogether.
In court filings obtained yesterday by TMZ, it is not clear what Whitney's intentions are concerning the 13-year-old Bobbi Kristina, pictured here with her parents at a film premiere in 2004. But even though the teen's parents have always showered
their only daughter together with love and affection, the New Jersey sources tell TMZ that the child may now be in particular danger of losing the guidance she needs through these difficult and crucial years, especially given Whitney's past struggles with substance abuse and Bobbi's focus on reviving his career – and his "tenderonis" – not to mention his two other children from previous relationships.
