Rihanna’s Seeing Green

Echo Award 2010

She arrived at the 2010 Echo Awards red carpet in Berlin on Thursday wearing a plunging Alexandre Vauthier jumpsuit paired with Christian Louboutin pumps.

She later changed into a black and white ensemble to perform “Rude Boy” with the help of futuristic lighting effects and a huge electronic robot.

Does her jumpsuit make you green with envy?

Has Michelle Trachtenberg Gone Blonde?

Michelle Trachtenberg's character on Gossip Girl goes blonde! The actress wears a thick faux fur jacket, holding onto a Nook ebook reader

Nope! The 24-year-old actress went all faux for her recent Gossip Girl shoot—faux fur jacket and yes, a blonde wig.

The cast and crew of Gossip Girl were seen on location this week at the Bellevue Hospital Center and Grand Central Station in New York. I wonder what Blair Waldorf would say about Georgina’s new ’do?

Follow Me, Conan!

Disney's Imagination Movers In Los Angeles

Ever since Conan O’Brien started his own Twitter account, the world of tweeting has never been the same. Conan has gained almost 600,000 followers since he started on February 24. And he didn’t even have to over-tweet his life’s daily routines.

His deliciously sarcastic humor and unpredictable tweets feed Coco fans as they wait for the comedian’s next TV project. He’s tweeted only about a dozen posts, and yet his followers are hanging on to every word.

His latest antic is this:

“I’ve decided to follow someone at random. She likes peanut butter and gummy dinosaurs. Sarah Killen, your life is about to change.”

True enough, Sarah Killen’s life has changed. She’s drummed up a lot of attention, being the first and only person that Conan “follows.” The 19-year-old now has over 18,000 followers and a wider network of connections.

She’s getting married on September and a lot of Conan’s “friends” are covering the expenses.

Coco, you can follow me anytime!


REPORT: Katherine Heigl Set to Leave “Grey’s Anatomy”

Katherine Heigl is close to jumping from “Grey’s Anatomy.”

After six tumultuous years on the ABC medical drama, the actress will part ways with “Grey’s” pending a final exit agreement between ABC Studios and Heigl’s camp, according to EW.

Series creator Shonda Rhimes has reportedly agreed to release the star from her contract.

Heigl was scheduled to come back to the show on March 1 following a personal hiatus to shoot a film and spend time with her adopted daughter.

But Heigl has not yet returned to work to make the final five episodes of the season, and sources say the two sides have mutually decided to terminate the relationship now.

It’s likely Heigl’s final appearance on “Grey’s Anatomy” already has aired.

Gossip Cop will have an update as soon as a final agreement is reached.

HollywoodLife knows nothing about Hollywood’s Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler

 

(GettyImages.com)

“Jen & Gerard — Looking Hot & Happy Together In London!” exclaims HollywoodLife, which just yesterday laughingly claimed the two were spotted in the airport hours apart ready for a “romantic rendezvous.”

Uh, Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler were in the airport not hours, but a day apart because they were in London for the premiere of their film, “The Bounty Hunter” – repeat, not a “romantic rendezvous” (HollywoodLife learned that later – from us).

The site, which has made far too many mistakes to list here, then goes on to write, “The PDA [on the red carpet] makes you wonder … The Bounty Hunter costars HAVE TO BE romantically involved!”

No, they HAVE to promote an action-filled romantic comedy – and they happen to be friends, too.

Timeout: Wasn’t this the same site that recently said they were faking a relationship to hype this film? Don’t remember? Click here.

Anyway, the “reporting” that HollywoodLife has based this ridiculous story on is “Look at these two! They look super happy and really flirtatious with each other.”

Gossip Cop prefers to look at the facts, which happen to be that they are FRIENDS and are NOT DATING.

Clearly, even HollywoodLife doesn’t believe its own reporting, because the site concludes this drivel with “If they are a couple, we can only hope that Gerard is learning to leave behind his rumored Playboy ways. Jen’s had her heart broken way too many times!”

“If”? What happened to insisting the two “HAVE TO BE romantically involved” a few paragraphs ago?

Actually, Gossip Cop keeps wondering, what if HollywoodLife were to truly report a story?

Press Release Announcing 3D “Breaking Dawn” is Fabricated

(Little, Brown & Co.)

Earlier today a press release went out claiming, among other things, that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn “will be split into two movies, and filmed in 3D.”

But that “press release is inauthentic,” a rep for Summit Entertainment confirms exclusively to Gossip Cop.

The rep, who further called the release “fabricated,” added that no official decision has been made about the division of Breaking Dawn, but that Summit is working with author Stephenie Meyer to bring her vision to the big screen with all the “creative elements” necessary.

Meanwhile, a well-placed source tells Gossip Cop that, while splitting Breaking Dawn is likely, filming it in 3D is a longshot.

“Possessive” Kristen Stewart Rumor Drives Gossip Cop “Nuts”

(GettyImages.com)

Remember yesterday, when Life & Style published a whacked out article claiming Kristen Stewart attended the Remember Me premiere to intimidate Emilie de Ravin?

Showbiz Spy sure remembers! Because today the site (sloppily) rewrites the conspiracy theory, adding a new twist: Stewart and Robert Pattinson are “arguing endlessly” over her “possessive nature.”

Reportedly anxious about how close Pattinson and de Ravin have become, Stewart “tries to accompany the British star on as many of his promotional trips as possible.”

Gossip Cop will note again: Kristen Stewart has two settings, according to most outlets. When she’s not at events, other sites say, it’s because she’s a misanthropic homebody. When she does go to events, blogs claim it’s because she’s a jealous obsessive.

(Sigh.)

Anyway, Showbiz Spy has a “loose-lipped insider” who claims “Kristen hates the thought of Rob and Kristen spending time alone together.”

(The site has “loose-lipped” insiders… but obviously no copy editors.)

Stewart’s constant presence is “driving Rob nuts,” the “insider” reports. “He likes doing his own thing and having time to himself, but Kristen has gotten really needy over the past few weeks.”

Gossip Cop will humbly suggest that Showbiz Spy (which offered a photo bounty on the two) is the “needy” party here.

Our source with Stewart tells us (again) that the (endless) speculation about her supposed jealousy is (still) complete bunk.

As Gossip Cop said yesterday, Stewart was at the premiere to support Pattinson.

They had a nice time at the movie and at the party afterwards.

That’s it.

Sometimes the simplest explanations are the right ones. And that’s the case here.

Corey Haim had pulmonary congestion; cause of death still undetermined

(GettyImages.com)

UPDATE: 4:31 PM

It’s been confirmed Haim had pulmonary congestion, an enlarged heart and his lungs were filled with water. But, as of now, the L.A. County Coroner’s Office has still not officially concluded whether those conditions, four prescription medications found in the home, or other factors were the cause of the actor’s death.

——————————-

Law enforcement officials have identified generic versions of Vicodin and Valium among four pill bottles found with Corey Haim, according to a report.

The same Los Angeles psychiatrist reportedly prescribed hydrocodone (Vicodin), diazepam (Valium), haloperidol (antipsychotic), and Soma (muscle relaxer) to Haim all at once, several days before the actor died at 38.

Sources tell TMZ Haim is believed to have died from an accidental overdose, but final word is still pending the results of toxicology.

It is not known how many pills were missing from the bottles.

Gossip Cop is awaiting a response from the L.A. County Coroner’s Office.

Jake Gyllenhaal wants almost none of Olivia Munn

 

(GettyImages.com)

“Jake Gyllenhaal Gets Close to a New Gal,” reads the headline of a piece in Us Weekly.

According to the magazine, “Loads of ladies were on the town the night before the Oscars in L.A., but Jake Gyllenhaal only had eyes for one: Olivia Munn!”

Really?

While the mag acknowledges the two only met that night, a source who saw the pair at a party that evening said, “Jake was really into her.”

Wait, that’s not all.

The same source even claims, “Jake’s keen to see what happens!”

Relax, everyone. This is NOT Camelot. 

In fact, it’s more like camel NOT.

Yes, it’s true the two hung out that one night, but a source close to Gyllenhaal tells Gossip Cop that he’s not “keen to see what happens” nor is he “really into her,” as reported.

So please, ladies, form an orderly line.

No Truth to Rumored “Jersey Shore” Booze Ban (Whew!)

(GettyImages.com)

Without alcohol, will “Jersey Shore” be a bore?

Fox News’ Fox411 blog observes that the cast of MTV’s hit “likes to drink, party and then drink and party some more.”

But at a recent appearance at the Boston club The Estate, Jenni “JWoww” Farley was noticeably sans alcohol and overheard telling partygoers, “MTV doesn’t want [the cast] to drink.”

Fox411 claims, “The folks at MTV are trying to ban the booze, at least until filming” the next season.

No way!

But that’s not all.

According to Fox411’s “insider,” the cast is now limited to only one appearance per week or they may “face strict fines and possible legal action.”

A source involved with the production tells Gossip Cop that while “the production team did ask them to limit appearances so they could focus on the new season,” neither the production crew nor MTV told the cast they couldn’t drink.

Next round’s on Gossip Cop!
