Gossip / Rumors

Courtney Love is a delusional LIAR who should be banned from Twitter forever ... this according to her biological daughter Frances Bean Cobain.

Frances Bean has just issued a statement in response to Love's allegations that former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl hit on Frances during a recent encounter ... and it's clear, there's still a rift in the family.

Frances Bean states, "While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn. I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way."

She adds, "I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy. Twitter should ban my mother."

Grohl has also denied Love's accusations -- saying, "Unfortunately Courtney is on another hateful twitter rant. These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue."

Morgan Freeman is adamant ... he has NEVER had a romantic relationship with his 27-year-old step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines ... and slams all of the reports to the contrary as "defamatory fabrications."

Morgan just released a statement responding to recent reports that he and Hines have been dating for roughly 10 years and were planning to get married in the very near future.

Freeman's rep tells us the actor remained silent for years because he didn't want to "dignify these stories by commenting" ... but now he feels compelled to speak out after the reports were picked up by various "mainstream media" outlets.

In his statement, Freeman says, "The recent reports of any pending marriage or romantic relationship of me to anyone are defamatory fabrications from the tabloid media designed to sell papers. What is even more alarming is that these fabrications are now being picked up by the legitimate press as well."

E'Dena has also issued a statement ... saying, "These stories about me and my grandfather are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family."

A man who worked at the Standard Hotel the night Lindsay Lohan allegedly attacked a woman claims he saw Lindsay there, and even broke up the fight.

TMZ broke the story ... Marisa Dugas went to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. and filed an incident report, claiming she was at Smoke and Mirrors inside The Standard Thursday night when she approached Lindsay's table and started talking to a guy, and Lindsay allegedly pushed and shoved her. Lindsay insists she was at home the entire evening.

The man who worked that night tells TMZ ... he saw Lindsay in Smoke and Mirrors sitting with a group of people. He says Marisa sat down near them and began speaking with one of the guys. The man says people in the group started throwing ice at her. Marisa got upset and a scuffle erupted. He says Lindsay was part of the scuffle and he broke it up.

The guy says the woman was escorted out of the club, where she cried hysterically and then said Lindsay hurt her, but she refused medical attention.

There are no pictures that have surfaced of Lindsay at the Standard Thursday night, but the man says there is a surveillance video showing the back of the hotel, where Lindsay pulled in and later left. We have confirmed the man has spoken with cops, although we do not know how much detail he divulged.

Sources tell us the L.A. County Sheriff's Department has already requested the surveillance tape three times from the hotel -- but hotel management is refusing to give it up. It's unclear why.

Another "maybe couple" alert -- this time it's former Playboy Playmate of the Year Jenny McCarthy ... and Chicago Bears superstar linebacker Brian Urlacher.

TMZ shot footage of the two leaving Mastro's in Beverly Hills together last night ... following a romantic dinner at one of the most expensive steak joints in town.

The two tried to sneak out the back door of the restaurant ... where an SUV was waiting -- but when you're as big as Urlacher ... it's hard to go unnoticed.

Seems Urlacher has a thing for famous blondes ... he BRIEFLY kinda/sorta dated Paris Hilton a few years ago.

Calls to both reps have not been returned.

If Axl Rose and Lana Del Rey ARE dating, it's news to Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba ... who tells us he's convinced the two are just friends ... even though they left the Chateau Marmont together this weekend.

As we previously reported ... 50-year-old Rose and 25-year-old Del Rey piled into the same SUV and took off together late Friday night ... instantly igniting relationship rumors.

With reports Rihanna wants to play Whitney Houston should there ever be a biopic about the legendary singer -- Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, is telling friends there is only one person that can play that role ... HER.

According to our sources, Bobbi feels she is the perfect person to play the part of Whitney ... telling friends that no one knew her better.

Our sources say BK feels that if Easy E's son can play him in a movie, she can do it too.

So if such a project ever develops, the producers can expect a call from Bobbi Kristina.

Kris Humphries is so over his soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Kardashian ... that he is completely indifferent to the news she is dating Kanye West, sources close to Kris tell TMZ.

According to our sources, Kris is focused on the divorce being finalized, he isn't bothered at all by Kim's new relationship. We're told that with each passing day, Kris is more sure than ever that Kim doesn't represent the things he believes in ... and he's just ready to put this in the past.

As for Kanye's assertion that he could have pal Jay-Z kick him off the Nets -- forgetting that Jay doesn't really even make personnel decisions ... sources close to Kris say Jigga is one of his biggest fans and the two have always been cool with each other at games.

Psoriasis, Shmoriasis ... TMZ has uncovered THE TRUTH about the suspicious mark on Kim Kardashian's neck ... and it DEFINITELY originated from Kanye West's mouth.

Sources close to Kim's neck confirm ... the red blotch was NOT the result of Kim's skin condition ... it's totally a hickey.

It all makes sense, considering the mark was first seen the day after Kim and Kanye went on a movie date in NYC.

Which reminds us ... tips for hickey removal that may or may not work:

Lana Del Rey's obsession with Axl Rose went to a whole new level last night, when the 25-year-old songstress and the 50-year-old rocker left the Chateau Marmont together.

Lana was spotted at an Axl/GnR show in Hollywood last month -- and back before she made it big, she recorded a song called "Axl Rose Husband."

The pair got into an SUV together, with Axl almost sitting in the back seat with her before hopping in the front.

On the same day she revealed she's publicly dating Kanye West, Kim Kardashian was sporting a suspicious red blotch on the side of her neck.

At first we thought -- hickey, for sure -- but then we remembered Kim suffers from psoriasis ... a condition that can cause itchy dry red patches on the skin.

We reached out to Kim for comment so she could settle the debate once and for all ... but we haven't heard back.

The debate rages on ...

Cuba Gooding Jr. is shooting down reports he sexually harassed and groped several women in a New Mexico bar last month ... telling TMZ the allegations are "bulls**t."

Just a few weeks ago, reports surfaced CGJ had rolled into a tavern in Albuquerque on March 1 and got super grabby with several women ... before allegedly punching a guy who tried to take his picture.

One thing's for sure ... Drew Barrymore's definitely carrying a few extra pounds -- unfortunately, we're still not 100% sure if it's a baby or not.

Drew hit the streets of L.A. yesterday after a yoga class, wearing a form-fitting blue jersey (left) -- and by the looks of the side view, there's a real good chance her uterus is full of fetus.

It's the first good shot of Drew's belly since February -- when TMZ posted a pic of Drew clutching a sonogram on her way out of a Beverly Hills doctor's office (below).

So we gotta ask ...

Mark Ballas tells TMZ ... he was NOT the target of a Jaleel White meltdown during a "Dancing with the Stars" rehearsal session last week ... despite reports to the contrary.

Mark was leaving Hyde in L.A. last night (the same one Paris, Lindsay and Britney used to party at back in the day) ... when we asked about Jaleel's alleged meltdown ... in which he reportedly screamed at his partner Kym Johnson before going off on Mark.

Yes, she wore a ring and yes, it was on her ring finger -- but Miley Cyrus still can’t figure out why everyone thought she was engaged ... because it ain't true!!!

As we reported, Miley was spotted with a giant rock on that special spot last Thursday -- sending the internet buzzing with rumors she's engaged to BF Liam Hemsworth.

But Miley quashed the gossip today tweeting, “I'm not engaged. I've worn this same ring on this finger since November!”

Miley Cyrus is continuing to flame the engagement rumor flames by once again sporting a very engagement-y long ring while out last night with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth at a charity event hosted by Muhammad Ali.

Miley tweeted a photo of the ring earlier this week, but made no mention of it directly, sparking people to wonder if the wild child and the "Hunger Games" star were planning on getting hitched in the near future.

So with Miley leaving the ring's significance to our imagination, we gotta ask ...

It seems reality stars are getting knocked up left and right these days ... Snooki, Jessica Simpson, Kristin Cavallari, etc. ... but not Audrina Patridge ... at least judging from the way she looks in her bikini.

Congratulations.
