Gossip / Rumors

After recently getting back together, Hayden Panettiere and her giant boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko continued on their face sucking PDA tour by soaking up the sun -- and each other -- on the beach in Hollywood, Florida on Tuesday.

With rumors speculating they are already engaged, a ringless Hayden showed off her lady curves in a sexy purple fringe bikini, while Wlad bronzed his jacked up boxer's physique by going shirtless.

Barbara Walters is clearly ticked off over the stories detailing her plans to retire in 2014 ... because she ranted about it on "The View" this morning ... and even took a dig at little ol' us.

"There were many reports last week saying that I was retiring from ABC, and there was an assumption that I would be making an announcement today,” Baba said ... "However, here I am, and I have no announcements to make."

Then came the shot at TMZ -- "I do want to say this, that if and when I might have an announcement to make, I would do it on this program, I promise, and the paparazzi guys, you will be the last to know.”

We're flattered ... but someone is clearly holding a grudge from 2011 ... when we broke the story that Walters told President Obama she'd be hangin' it up back in 2012 and Barbara didn't realize she was talking into an open mic.

Babs' people later told us ... Walters has been joking about retirement since the Clinton administration.

BTW -- Walters may have been angry about last week's reports, but during her little rant this morning, she never actually disputed them.

Michael Jordan isn't ready to call it quits with his alleged baby mama drama just yet ... in fact, he wants the lady who accused him of spawning her 16-year-old son to PAY UP for all the trouble she caused.

As TMZ first reported, Pamela Smith went after Jordan in court, claiming he knocked her up back in 1995, and asked a judge to order a DNA test to make the paternity official.

The NBA star called B.S. and denied the kid was his and then, rather suddenly, Pamela dismissed the suit without explanation.

Now MJ has filed new legal docs asking the case be kept open so he can file a counter-claim against Smith to cover his court costs and whatever other sanctions a judge deems necessary.

Lindsay Lohan says she stole NOTHING from "Anger Management" -- She's telling friends she had a deal with producers she could take all the stuff she wanted, and they'd just deduct it from her salary.

Lindsay acknowledges, she walked off with 2 bracelets, a necklace, sunglasses, a pair of shoes, gold earrings, a silk bathrobe, lingerie and tap shorts. She claims the wardrobe person was well aware she had the goods and claims the wardrobe lady specifically said it was A-OK and the cost would be deducted from her salary.

Lindsay's also telling friends, she's NOT going to return the stuff, because as far as she's concerned she paid for it.

Here's the problem. Sources from the show tell TMZ ... Lindsay walked off with the bracelets, the necklace, earrings and shoes BEFORE there was any discussion about leaving with the stuff. We're told the wardrobe person told producers she was not going to become a cop and block Lindsay from leaving the set with her stuff, so she told her the value of "all missing items" would be deducted from her paycheck.

Lindsay Lohan allegedly stole jewelry and wardrobe items from the set of "Anger Management" ... this according to sources on the set.

We're told during filming ... Lindsay decided she was going out clubbing one night, and took a bracelet, a necklace, earrings, pants and shoes from the wardrobe department. Yes, the stuff never came back.

Sources say Lindsay told people on the show ... producers would just take the value of the items out of her salary, but we're told that ABSOLUTELY wasn't the deal.

And there's more ... Multiple sources on the set tell TMZ Lindsay was "the biggest prima donna ever on 'Anger Management.'" We're told she showed up 2 hours late the second day, refused to come out of her trailer for 2 hours, left early to go clubbing and threatened not to return.

Sources say the crew broke out in applause when she left, calling her a "nightmare."

Angelina Jolie has just made it crystal clear ... she and Brad Pitt did NOT secretly get married.

You'll recall, Angelina swapped out her $500,000 diamond engagement ring for a simple gold band during a recent humanitarian trip to the Congo ... probably so it wouldn't get lost or stolen ... but that didn't stop everyone from speculating that she and Brad had wed on the DL.

Forget looking at photos trying to spot a ring or trying to decipher a cryptic tweet ... here's Liam Hemsworth spotted yesterday outside the Los Angeles home of his fiancée, Miley Cyrus.

Despite rumors of infidelity, hardly being seen together, and Miley's on-again/off-again engagement ring ... it seems this young couple is still going strong.

With every new season of "Dancing with the Stars" ... a new diva shall emerge amongst the cast ... and this season it's "The Bachelor" Sean Lowe. Sorry ladies.

Sources close to "DWTS" tell TMZ ... ever since filming began, Sean has caught a baaaad case of DIVA-itis ... demanding to be shot from certain camera angles, talking down to crew members, acting like a brat and bragging to other cast members, "This show NEEDS me."

We're told Sean's ego has gotten so big ... he now considers himself a brand and must "market accordingly".

As for other cast members ... we're told they've already started brainstorming nicknames for the reality star in light of his behavior -- like Princess Sean -- but have yet to find just the right one.

We could probably think of a couple.

The guy on the receiving end of Ray J's fists this morning is rapper Bad Azz from Dogg Pound Gangsta, and he has a bad history with Ray.

Bad Azz tells TMZ ... he and Ray J used to be friends, but ended up in a blood feud a few years back after Ray J told Suge Knight B.A. was talking trash about him. B.A. says Suge and his boys subsequently viciously jumped him.

Liam Hemsworth got back to the U.S. just in time to see an awesome video of Miley Cyrus twerkin' her ass off! If they really are broken up -- this looks like the best reason for them to get back together.

Sorry you creepy weirdos ... Joe Jonas did NOT record a raunchy sex tape with his Swiss model GF ... despite reports to the contrary ... Joe's rep tells TMZ.

Reports have been circulating that Joe -- who once wore a purity ring espousing his virginity -- filmed himself doing the nasty with gf Blanda Eggenschwiler while under the influence of pot and alcohol. The reports claim the sex footage features some crazy BDSM stuff, including paddles and ball gags.

But Joe's rep tells TMZ, it's total BS ... no such tape exists.

First Miley Cyrus' engagement ring returned ... now Liam Hemsworth is back -- but whether their engagement is back on is the big question, and we posed it directly to Liam.

Hemsworth arrived at LAX last night after a THREE WEEK trip to Australia and the Philippines ... sans Miley, and on the heels of rumors he and January Jones had a fling.

We asked Liam about everything from Miley's disappearing and reappearing diamond ring ... January (the month and the chick) ... and even the quality of gnar Down Under.

The Game tells TMZ, he is NOT schtupping Khloe Kardashian ... despite reports to the contrary.

Photos surfaced today showing Game and Khloe -- who's married to Lamar Odom -- hugging it out in L.A.'s Runyon Canyon Park last month ... where Game's been doing a "60 Days of Fitness" program.

You'll recall, Khloe's brother Rob Kardashian is also doing the program ... and Game tells us, Khloe is too, which is why they were hanging out.

The Game says, "The pictures that they see of us out together are because she is a part of my 60DaysofFitness team."

Miley Cyrus sent a message to her fans -- and possibly her MIA fiancé Liam Hemsworth -- by showing her enormous engagement ring is back where it hasn't been for a while ... on her hand.

Miley posted a photo of herself -- in a unicorn onesie, by the way -- prominently featuring her left hand weighted down by her diamond rock.

As everyone's heard by now ... Miley and Liam have allegedly broken off their engagement. He's been with family in Australia -- and she's been spotted all over town sans ring.

We may be reading too much into this ... but Donald Trump does not seem to like Anthony Weiner much ... because he's calling the ex-hibitionist ex-congressman a "sick pervert" and a "whack job."

Trump lobbed his latest grenade at the Conservative Political Action Conference 2013. Donald -- always the realist -- seems to think Weiner's rumored run for NYC mayor may not be affected by the lurid pics on Twitter.

Lindsay Lohan says everyone jumped the gun by saying she went to a Hollywood nightclub just hours after being sentenced to lockdown rehab.

You saw the photo ... LiLo allegedly arriving at AV nightclub Monday night, shrouded in a sheet, inside the back of an SUV emblazoned with the Mr. Pink Energy Drink logo.

Lindsay just tweeted, "Guys relax, that was NOT me at AV or in the @Mr. Pink SUV. I'm taking this seriously and focused on the road ahead."

BTW -- Mr. Pink is the company that foot the bill for the private jet LiLo flew to L.A. late Sunday night. We're told LiLo obligated herself to attend events at clubs on Pink's behalf to pay off the debt.

But Lindsay says she was a homebody Monday night: "I stayed in last night, after a pretty long day ... and ordered sushi to my hotel."

And there's this: "Don't believe EVERY little thing you hear, unless you hear it from me. The support I have gotten, has been great and means a lot."
