Gossip / Rumors

In a radio interview with DJ Andy Gil on 93.1 in Las Vegas, Terry Kniess explained how he called the exact price of not only his final showcase, but also the initial item up for bid that got him onstage. His trick: he watches the show A LOT.

So like most of us you were wondering why Madonna's rep came out firing brazenly the other day with a "payout" figure to the AP.

Turns out it was wrong, at least according to Madge and Guy. They say in a joint statement to TMZ, "A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week.The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children."

Tim McGraw isn't gunning for Tennessee Gov just yet -- he says he's got to get "a lot smarter" before he does.

"There is no truth to this," says McGraw's rep to People, about rumors that spread this weekend. "It's something he is interested in, but not for 2010. Later in life." McGraw was reportedly being groomed for a run at the Governor's office by Tennessee Dems.

For Denise Richards, it's more than complicated –- it's desperate.

A "longtime pal" tells the Chicago Sun-Times Denise is very worried about what's to become of her if/when her reality show gets the axe. "She's willing to do just about anything and take any role that's not pure porn," says the pal. (What are friends for?)

It's possibly a lil' TMI, but Oprah Winfrey says she's back to 200 lbs. and she's "mad" at herself for letting it all go to ... her waistline.

"I'm embarrassed," says O, in the new issue of her mag. "I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight ... 'How did I let this happen again?'" Apparently since slimming down to 160 in '06, she's put on 40 big ones.

Fantasia Barrino says reports she's about to lose a house are hogwash.

Reports say the "AI" winner is about to lose one of her homes in Charlotte, NC: She bought the 6-bed, 6,000-sq. ft. mansion back in 2007 for $1.3 mil (not a misprint) but couldn't keep up on payments. So the county will be auctioning off the house on January 12, 2009 unless she ponies up. She's also got another house nearby.

The rumored-to-be-engaged couple looked like they were picking out gifts for their wedding registry at Crate and Barrel this weekend -- because they were picking up and scanning a whole bunch of items in the store.

But after the scan-fest, Josh and Fergie -- who only left with one box -- claimed they were only shopping for X-Mas gifts ... no wedding stuff. We're calling full-on B.S.

Everyone's still wondering why Janet Jackson bailed on most of her "comeback" tour –- the one guy who would probably know says it's not because she was PG.

Jermaine Dupri tells Hollyscoop.com his woman isn't knocked up, despite the scuttlebutt. Dupri even called out certain members of gossiping classes for spreading false rumors.

Sources tell TMZ Jamie Lynn Spears is swelling up with anger over one gossip mag's claims she had lipo while pregnant -- so much so that she may take legal action.

We're told the story is "100% NOT true" -- that Jamie Lynn has never had lipo and would "never in her life" do anything like it.

A website that specializes in hooking up married people behind their spouses backs called The Ashley Madison Agency allegedly fired Sarah Symonds as their UK spokescheater because she wasn't "discreet enough" for their liking. Symonds wrote a book about being a mistress and has been named the "other woman" in several high-profile affairs.

Right after the vomit-inducing twosome returned home from their elope-a-dope in Cabo San Lucas, they confirmed the rumor -- they're going to start a family.

Gordon Ramsay claims he's not screwing around on his wife, and the "Hell's Kitchen" star is making sure everyone -- including his dear mum -- knows it.

Gordo went on attack during a guest appearance on a BBC cooking show yesterday, telling the crowd that the tabloid reports running rampant in the UK are "a load of bull" -- of course, his mother and family were in the audience, so what else was he going to say?

The Brit tabs have been on fire accusing him of having an affair with Sarah Symonds, who just happens to be a spokeslut for AshleyMadison.com, the cheaters' dating site.

Not even marriage is sacred to self-proclaimed Jesus freak Heidi Montag -- because it looks like her "marriage" to Spencer Pratt was just an elaborate ploy to cash in.

If you heard recently Angelina Jolie is pregnant with the latest member of the Jolie-Pitt football club, it's not true.

So says Angie's rep Geyer Kosinski to Usmagazine.com. The glossies had been crowing about AJ announcing the pregnancy at a London restaurant (which allegedly displeased Brad Pitt) or moving the filming of her latest flick up because she was preggers. But "on-set sources" tell Us no schedule change had happened -- and have ya seen Ang lately?

That's pretty much all you needed to know, but in case you need it spelled out: Amy Winehouse went to the hospital on Sunday after another "bad reaction" to medication.
