UPDATE – 9:00 PM – 4/24/10

Bret Michaels remains in critical condition.

Because of inaccurate reports, the singer’s manager, Janna Elias, issued a statement.

According to Elias, who is by Michaels’ hospital bedside, “There are several incorrect reports on Bret’s condition. Bret remains in critical condition at an undisclosed location. Further tests are being ran and information will be updated in the coming days.”

Earlier accounts had Michaels stable, awake, and talking.

Season 2 winner of “Rock of Love,” Ambre Lake, said she had spoken with people “who are close to Bret who say he’s stablized and conscious,” claimed TMZ, which cited a second source who relayed a similarly encouraging update.

And RadarOnline reported that Michaels’ dad, Wally Sychak, told the site his son was talking and feeling fine.

“I talked to him this morning,” Sychak was quoted as saying, adding, “He sounded upbeat and positive but they had him sedated… but he’s doing good. He sounded like my son.”

The reality, however, as Michaels’ manager noted, is that the singer is still in “critical condition.”

Gossip Cop will continue to update you, hopefully with better news

Bret Michaels has been rushed to the hospital following a massive brain hemorrhage, according to reports.

The Poison rocker and reality TV star is said to have suffered a terrible headache late Thursday night. He is in “critical condition,” according to People.com, with what doctors term a “massive subarachnoid hemorrhage.”

Currently a contestant on “Celebrity Apprentice,” Michaels is reportedly being kept in the intensive care unit.

Michaels, who is diabetic, had an emergency appendectomy in San Antonio on April 12. It is not known at this time whether the most recent emergency stems from either the surgery earlier this month or his diabetes.

Jennifer Lopez is on top of the current weekend box office projections, but might be feeling the competition breathing fire down her neck.

The Back-up Plan, starring Lopez, earned an estimated $4.2 million on Friday to lead the night, but How To Train Your Dragon, the animated flick that’s held up remarkably well for five weeks, earned about $3.6 million and could end up as the #1 flick.

Current projections hand the weekend to Dragon (with about $15.5 million by Sunday night), trailed by The Back-up Plan ($12 million), and holdover Date Night ($10 million).

Action film The Losers is expected to earn roughly $9 million for fourth place, followed by the controversial Kick-Ass at #5.

Again, these are only estimates. Gossip Cop will have updates figures when available.

Could “The Hills” still be alive with the sound of rolling cameras?

A surprising E! Online “exclusive” claims the twelve episodes beginning on Tuesday, billed as the “final season,” may NOT be the last we see of the hit series.

The report quotes star Kristin Cavallari as saying, “There’s a possibility of them ordering 12 more episodes.”

But… hasn’t it already been determined that this is the final season for Lauren Conrad replacement Cavallari, along with Brody Jenner, Audrina Patridge, Lauren Bosworth, Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag, and America’s other favorite shrinking violets?

Yes, it has.

“This is truly the last of ‘The Hills’ because we want the season to go out on a high note that the show deserves and that the fans deserve,” Tony DiSanto, MTV’s President of Programming and Development, told Gossip Cop, adding, “This season delivers the drama, the story and the organic culmination of the story.”

Unfortunately for fans, it’s indeed time to say goodbye.

A bizarre rumor hitting our inbox claims Robert Pattinson will reportedly star with Azerbaijan’s Eurovision 2010 singer Safura Alizadeh in her video clip “Drip Drop.”

Huh?

The actor was said to have held “several working meetings” in Baku before leaving for Kiev to join Safura’s team. In previous interviews, the singer mentioned that she liked Pattinson and “intended to sing duo with him.”

But anyone confused about missing the “news” that the “Twilight” megastar is part of “Drip Drop” can be assured — he is not.

A source close to Pattinson tells Gossip Cop, “None of it is true.”

Talk about a Britney Spears story with no “support.”

There’s a rumor everywhere — thanks to The Sun — that Spears is forbidden to leave home without wearing a bra.

You read that correctly.

According to the paper, father Jamie Spears is embarrassed by “constant pictures of her nipples popping out of her clothes,” and insists Britney leave her house wearing the proper undergarments.

How “seriously” does Jamie reportedly take this new rule?

He’s supposedly threatened to fire one of his daughter’s security guards who has allowed her to be photographed sans bra several times.

Let’s end this nonsense right here.

There is no Nipplegate. There is no ban on Britney being bra-less.

A source close to Spears assures us it’s all made up. In fact, what really keeps “popping out” these days is how desperate outlets are to invent new Britney controversies.

“George Clooney Bed Shocker,” blared a headline in the Daily Star, which went on to say, Clooney “has to have his special blanket with him too.”

Huh?

The tab claims an employee at the Kahala Hotel in Honolulu, where Clooney filmed The Descendants, said, “We had to lay it on top of his sheets when we turned down his bed… It looked a lot like a security blanket. George left it in his room when he checked out and we had to send it to his next address… He obviously can’t sleep without it.”

That’s a really funny story.

It’s also really not true.

Gossip Cop made the calls to check, and Clooney doesn’t sleep with a “blankie” — unless that’s his nickname for girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis.

Can the world handle a new Pamela Anderson “sex tape”?

According to rumors, the busty pop culture icon and “Dancing With the Stars” competitor, who infamously got down and dirty with ex-husband Tommy Lee on video, is busy with a project that will lay bare… (drum roll)… sex tapes!

Hollyscoop reports that Anderson intends to make a “hilarious movie” with “interesting insight into how sex tapes become so huge whether or not the people in them know about it.”

“Pam has been working on an idea and a script is about to be commissioned,” claims a so-called “source.” And while the main character is “not unlike Pam,” the idea is to address “all sex tapes rather than just hers.”

Wow. So is the master of amateur XXX really set to mock it in a brand new movie?

No.

The story is completely bogus.

Hollyscoop and other outlets couldn’t be bothered to check into it — at all.

Shocking.

Gossip Cop did, and we confirmed that the supposed movie is 100% fabricated.

An Anderson confidante familiar with all of her upcoming projects tells us the rumor is nonsense. And her agent informs Gossip Cop there is “no truth to it at all.”

The only thing more exposed than Anderson in her XXX heyday is Hollyscoop’s shoddy reporting.

Sometimes history repeats itself, but not nearly as often as wrong rumors do.

Case in point: The claim that Justin Timberlake has “rekindled” with ex-flame Cameron Diaz.

“Justin and Cameron have fallen back in love with each other while filming their new movie Bad Teacher,” reports Showbiz Spy which, like several other outlets today, quotes a Now magazine piece in which a so-called source says, “Cameron and Justin have been back together for the past couple of weeks and he’s definitely ended with Jessica [Biel].”

Definitely ended it with Biel?

Really?

That’s funny. We could’ve sworn we saw them together at the Taylor Swift concert just eight days ago.

Ignoring reality, the site also includes the “source” saying Timberlake “really wants things to work this time around and he’s even talking about spending the rest of his life with [Diaz].”

No, he’s not.

There’s no SexyBack between Timberlake and Diaz, a source in the know (once again) confirms to Gossip Cop.

The reporting-challenged alarmists at HollywoodLife, always eager to make mountains of molehills, today take a benign item about how Robert Pattinson wishes he had more time for music… and interpret it to mean he might leave movies.

“OH, NO! Is Robert Pattinson Quitting Acting to Strum His Guitar?” cries the site.

Um, we’re pretty sure he’s not, but let’s read on to see what “evidence” HollywoodLife provides.

The article is built around a piece in The Sun professing that Pattinson is “tormented” about whether to stick with acting.

“I always think there must be more,” says the star. “I get angry, because I think I’m missing out.” Known to be fond of playing guitar, Pattinson regrets that he hasn’t “been able to do [his] music for ages” due to his schedule, because he can’t “concentrate on two things at once.”

That’s the thrust of the Sun item — the highly sought actor doesn’t have time to focus on his other love.

Or, according to HollywoodLife, Pattinson’s “apparently so burnt by acting and the utter burdens of being a celebrity that the Twilight star could be finished with acting altogether.”

Wait.

“Finished with acting altogether”?

What?

Where does Pattinson give any indication the “burdens” of celebrity have left him so “burnt” he’s going to call it a wrap at the age of 23?

Pattinson is bummed he can’t spend more time working on writing songs and playing guitar. He’s mentioned it before.

But there’s zero reason to sound the sirens and claim he “could be finished with acting altogether.” A Hollywood industry source says there hasn’t been even a whisper about Pattinson dropping his film career.

Just another reason not to take cues on Pattinson news from HollywoodLife.
