O.J. Talks Sex, Drugs and Oprah
Recently, O.J. Simpson has been reportedly traveling the country, hitting on women, making threats and bashing celebrities-- and it's all been caught on tape. A website called JudgeOJ.com claims it will soon release over 75 hours of raw and uncut footage, containing scenes that will expose "the intimate and revealing nature of O.J. Simpson."
None of what the site calls its most revealing clips are online yet, but the footage reportedly shows a trio of beautiful women on O.J.'s lap "tackling" the former Heisman trophy winner, while O.J. says, "Thank you, Jesus." Another clip reportedly features O.J. during a radio interview, confessing "If I read the tabloids and listened to talk radio people, I'd be in the nuthouse. I'd ready to jump somebody, hurt somebody." The host asks: "And do what to somebody?" "Hurt somebody," O.J. replies.
The controversial website also claims to have video of the Juice slamming Oprah Winfrey and offering up "real" opinions on stars like Howard Stern, Barbara Walters and Geraldo Rivera.
The Hoff: Hassled But "Okay"
David Hasselhoff made headlines yesterday after he was reportedly banned from a British Airways flight. Though he was cleared on a later flight that day, rumors were swirling that Hasselhoff was too drunk to board the plane, the "America's Got Talent" host is taking charge, claiming it was his meds for his arm that caused the delay.
"I'm on a little bizarre medication but I'm okay ... I hurt it a little more in London this last trip ... It's just got a little bit of an infection."
The former "Baywatch" star's career has seen a resurgence lately, with both his hosting gig for the hit NBC show and movie roles in films like "Click," and with that comes more scrutiny from the press, something Hasselhoff understands comes with the territory.
"The more famous you get the more people want to print stuff about you that's not true. The truth is I'm a big guy, I respect myself, I've got the respect of my kids and I'm okay."
With his messy divorce from Pamela Bach Hasselhoff finalized this past Wednesday, The Hoff sees himself in a better place, "I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be alive. I'm happy to be getting through all my personal stuff."
Cavallari's Rumor Control
"Laguna Beach" babe Kristin Cavallari and boyfriend Brody Jenner are ready to lay some rumors to rest. After a rough split a couple months back, the two have since reunited and have been spotted around Hollywood hand-in-hand. Though happy now, Cavallari admits the media attention put on the split (and rumored hook ups) was daunting.
"It's hard reading about it, your ex-boyfriend hanging out or hooking up with these other girls, it's just like a stab in the back," says Kristin adding,"I read that I was dating Joaquin Phoenix and I've never even met him."
Jenner says he's the one who made the first move towards reconciliation while Cavallari was shooting a film in Oklahoma. "While she was on set I was thinking about her... I hadn't talked to her, we ended on very sour terms, I just kind of got over it, sucked it all up and texted her 'I love you' ... her text message back was 'beep you!'"
Safe to say that's not the expected reaction but hey, they're back together so something worked!
"Bell" Star Drops Cocaine Story Lawsuit
Lark Voorhies, the actress who played Lisa Turtle in TV's "Saved by the Bell," has dropped the lawsuit she filed against the National Enquirer. The suit alleged the Enquirer printed false accusations that she was addicted to cocaine. The article also quoted a "friend" of Voorhies' saying she has a "terrible drug problem" and was "bipolar."
Voorhies says the Enquirer article cost her several acting jobs, invaded her privacy and caused her "humiliation, embarrassment, hurt feelings, mental anguish and suffering."
TMZ spoke with celebrity attorney Cyrus J. Nownejadi, who represents Voorhies, who says "The allegations are untrue, and the matter has been resolved."
Lark has signed an exclusive contract to interview with Inside Edition discussing the allegations. She will also be featured in a "Child Star Confidential" on E! Entertainment television.

Pam's Dining Dilemma
For days now, blogs and websites have been reporting that PETA is up in arms that a restaurant owned by Pamela Anderson, BlackSteel in Hollywood, is serving foie gras. Pam, an ardent supporter of PETA, seemed to have trouble on her hands. Never fear, however, TMZ can confirm that like most rumors spread via the web, this one is wrong.
A post on Pam's official website says that she is not, in fact, an owner of the restaurant. She said she gave $25,000 to her good friend Chef J. (the restaurant's owner), under the condition that he promise not to serve foie gras. She says that if Chef J. reneged on his promise, she'll expect him to donate the $25,000 to PETA
PETA also chimed in on her site, commenting "Pam isn't a partner in BlackSteel and makes no money from it - she just helped with some start up money because she knew the chef. There is no scandal here, just a desperate meat trade front group trying to stir the pot by targeting Pam, who has always been an honest and straightforward PETA ally who is as generous with her friends as she is with her causes."
Lance Bass Out of the Closet
Lance Bass says he's gay and in a stable relationship with a reality show star.
Over the last few months, TMZ shot video of Bass and "Amazing Race" winner Reichen Lehmkuhl, and although there was a buzz the two were a couple, they went to considerable lengths not to be seen in the same shot. In one video, as they walked through a park in New York together and saw the cameras, they immediately separated.
Now, Bass reveals to People he is indeed gay and in a "very stable" relationship with Lehmkuhl.
Bass told People that he feared coming out while he was in the boy band 'N Sync because he felt "it would overpower everything."
The 27-year-old Bass, a Baptist, has already told his friends and his "shocked" family, according to the magazine.
Bass now says he's at peace with himself.
Jake Wants to Be Lance
Turns out BFFs Jake Gyllenhaal and Lance Armstrong are more then just bosom buddies. Jake is interested in playing Lance in a upcoming Sony biopic about the seven-time Tour De France winning, cancer surviving, rock star dating, all around nice guy.
The guys have been spotted riding with Matthew McConaughey in Malibu lately. Now we hear that Jake is in training for the role and part of that training is spending every waking moment with Lance. They were recently spotted together in France for the Tour de France.
With all the research Jake is doing, it's sure to be the role of a lifetime.
EXCLUSIVE: The Beckhams Are Coming!
After conquering most of the known world, English soccer star David Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, are readying to bring their media invasion stateside. TMZ has learned they have begun house hunting in Los Angeles.
The supercouple are looking to set up digs in the affluent Bel Air section of town -- home to many of Hollywood's biggest stars and moguls.
While David currently plays for Real Madrid, earlier this month he resigned as captain of England's national team and is rumored to be in talks to join the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team.
The move seems logical since David has already set up a branch of his youth soccer camp, The David Beckham Academy at Southern California's Home Depot Center. And since murmurs of a Spice Girls reunion never materialized, a move to L.A. might be the first step toward launching Victoria's Hollywood career.
So move over Brangelina, TomKat and Bennifer because Posh and Becks are ready for their closeup!
Paul Bloch, David and Victoria's American rep, denied the Beckhams were planning a U.S. move.
Gay Schmay -- I'm With Stedman!
Stop the presses -- there's actual photo evidence this morning that Oprah and Stedman are together! The talk queen and her man put rumors of her O-ness' gay relationship with Gayle King temporarily to rest by strolling down the red carpet at the Starry Night Benefit celebrating Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in Malibu on Saturday night.
Evidence of Oprah and Stedman out anywhere in public had been scarce, to say the least, with the pair pictured just a tiny handful of times since 2000, as TMZ documented last week. But O and her Steddie looked chummy and in good spirits at Malibu's Villa Casablanca as they helped support the benefit that helps schoolchildren with after-school and other experiences.

Oprah & Gay Rumors -- Pictures Tell The Story
Breakup to Makeup: Sienna and Jude Back (Again)?
Jude Law and Sienna Miller, Hollywood' most schizophrenic couple, are back on again, or so the photographic evidence seems to prove. The pair were spotted recently, hand in hand, looking, if not exactly rapturous, certainly happy to be with one another.
This time, it may be a case of Jude taking Sienna back, as the actress was spotted all over Toronto with her current co-star James Franco, getting cozy on and off the set. They went to a concert, shared some smokes, ate some Chinese food, and even shopped with Sienna's mom.
It's not the first time that Sienna and Jude have had to make nice in public after rumors swirled around them -- and it's only the latest in a series of scorned women taking their cheating men back.
National Enquirer Sabotage?
Is someone trying to sabotage the National Enquirer? Apparently, the tabloid thinks that's precisely what's going down.
In the last few days, Britney Spears and Kate Hudson both got their pound of flesh from the National Enquirer, well not exactly. They got apologies from the UK National Enquirer. The paper retracted its story that Britney was ready to divorce K-Fed and issued an apology. Ditto Kate Hudson -- the paper retracted it's story that Kate was dangerously thin.
Ashlee's New Look
While Jessica's love life makes the gossip pages everyday, the younger Simpson sister has been making headlines of her own lately due to her remarkable makeover. While the pop princess has never admitted to having plastic surgery, it's been widely speculated that she's had at least a nose job.
At a launch party for Victoria's Secret Pink clothing line Simpson addressed her new look, being as vague as possible. "I think we live in a world where everyone's focused on looks and this life is to be lived for yourself and to enjoy it, so whatever makes you feel confident and sexy is what you should do."
Plastic surgery or not, people are definitely taking notice. Though Simpson reportedly turned down a $4 million offer to pose for Playboy, she's definitely loving every minute of the attention, "I am feeling great about myself," she says, "completely confident and nothing in particular, just feeling good."
Simpson is currently on tour promoting her new album, "I Am Me."
Father Figure Flea
Rumors have been swirling on the Internet that Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is a less then stellar father to his daughter.
What apparently started said rumor was an interview Flea did with Key 103, a radio station out of Manchester, England. The host and Flea began talking about their children, and Flea mentioned how his daughter Sunny hit her head on a table and joked that he put her in the closet because she was crying. The joke escalated to rumor and the rumor populated the Internet.
With everyone looking for a reason to chastise celebrities for their child rearing abilities, maybe Flea should keep jokes about his fathering skills on the down low.
Hear Flea's interview.
Gwen and Eve ... Together Again?
Are superstars Gwen Stefani and Eve working on another collaboration?
Gwen and Eve were both seen leaving Record Plant Recording Studios in Hollywood last Thursday. The two joined their superpowers in 2002 and produced the hit song "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," earning them both a Grammy award for best rap/sung collaboration.
Hopefully this is a sign of another hit in the making for the two divas!
Geez -- Suri Exists, Folks
There's no way Suri is a figment of our imaginations. Don't get me wrong, I believe in conspiracies as much as the next guy. I read the entire Warren Commission Report and am convinced there were shooters on the grassy knoll.
But Suri -- well I've been reading the comments on TMZ, and although I agree there's something weird about the whole situation -- something we don't fully understand -- the kid exists.
If this were a giant ruse, there's no way they would have carried out a charade at a hospital. I don't care who it is, Tom Cruise or Joe Schmo, there's no way a hospital would risk its license by becoming the backdrop for a phony birth. For starters, I think it's a crime to submit a bogus birth certificate to the County of Los Angeles. Beyond that, medical licenses would be squarely on the line. I will tell you -- I called St. John's this past Monday over our Suri Cruise birth certificate story and the officials seemed panicked, ultimately hanging up on me. But I just don't believe St. John's would cross the line.
If there really were no Suri, it would have been simple to just have a home birth, or a birth at the Scientology Center.
Look, the whole thing is just plain weird. The PDA was nauseating pre-birth, and now -- well, where's the love? And as long as we're talking, I have another question. A few days before giving birth, who buys a size 2 pair of jeans? I get the idea that a pregnant woman sets goals, but usually that means going to their closet and finding a pre-pregnant pair and saying "I'm gonna fit into these within three months." Who goes out and buys a pair of size 2 jeans?
There are lots of questions and this is one weird couple. But bottom line -- Oswald didn't act alone, but Suri exists.
