This Confessions of a Shopaholic star needs to do a lot more than ‘fess up to all the money she’s spending. She also has to explain why she buys such ridiculous-looking dresses! This frock…

Goodbye, pretty man who sort of looked like Kyle Chandler!

Fox has canceled Lone Star, starring James Wolk and Jon Voight, after just two terribly-rated episodes.

So what…

Forget Tickle Me Elmo and Zhu Zhu Pets, this years hot item is going to be the newly minted Justin Bieber doll. Okay maybe not, it’s actually a bit creepy looking.

Bieber can be bought in various outfits, however we’ve only witnessed two designs, a leather jacket doll with no instrument or in a green hoodie that comes equipped with a guitar.

Oh yeah, if you press on his stomach he’ll sing, it’s kind of like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Two of the doll that we’ve seen play 30-second clips of the singers hit songs “Baby” and “One Less Lonely Girl.”

Is there no end to Bieber fever? Here’s some more shots in the two outfits we’ve seen so far:

I have no idea where these dolls will be selling during the holiday shopping season, but knowing the popularity of Justin, I’m willing to bet just about everywhere.

Josh Holloway, best known for his 6 season run as “Sawyer” on the ABC hit series Lost has joined the cast of Mission: Impossible IV.

Josh joins Tom Cruise and Paula Patton as the newest member of the Impossible Task Force reports Variety. The movie will be the first big budget film Holloway has had the opportunity to appear in.

Other newcomers to the franchise include Vladimir Mashkov and Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist, who will play the films villain.

Shooting is set to begin in three weeks and Holloway’s Lost creator will serve as the films producer with Brad Bird directing the fourth movie in the popular series.

Paramount Pictures execs have placed a December 2011 release date on the movie.

Lindsay Lohan is back in rehab, it’s her fifth trip to a rehab facility in three years, including her recent court ordered Rehab stint.

Lohan checked herself into  a Southern California rehab center on Monday night and according to insiders she’s expected to stay in the facility until Oct. 22nd when she will return to court after having failed several recent drug tests, including a failed test for cocaine.

In 2007 Lohan entered rehab three times, citing alcohol and drug addiction, that was the same year she was arrested on a DUI charge.

Insiders close to Lohan insist she wants to get help, but given the Oct. 22 release date and her return to court, it’s really hard to believe anything she says at this point.

Not sure what to do with yourself between the October release of Justin Bieber’s first book, “Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story,” and his 3-D biopic, slated for February 11, 2011?

Breathe easy.

Smack in the middle, going on sale will be a series of dolls that look – and even some that sound – like Bieber.

Today, it was announced that Bieber dolls, featuring his various looks – and some which will play 30-second snippets of songs such as “Baby” and “One Less Lonely Girl” – will be in stores December 4.

The different figures will range in price from $17.99 to 27.99, depending on whether the doll sings.

Seriously, what’s next?

Oooh, SO close.

Showbiz Spy almost got away with merely being curious, using a question mark to ask in a headline, “Angelina Jolie Writing Her Memoirs?”

It’s a fair question, but one Gossip Cop already answered: No, Jolie is not penning a book.

Unfortunately, it turns out that Showbiz Spy bit — hook, line and sinker — on the same National Enquirer story we busted.

Can’t say we’re surprised.

“It’s believed the Salt star has been offered $20 million for the tome,” claims Showbiz Spy.

Well, it might be “believed,” but it isn’t correct.

As Jolie’s rep tells Gossip Cop, rumors that the star plans to write a memoir are “not true.”

Again: There is no Angelina Jolie autobiography in the works.

So sites should “shelve” the story.

UPDATE – 9/28/10 – 3:00 PM –

Lindsay Lohan has entered a Los Angeles-area rehab facility. This marks the fifth time the actress has been to rehab.

The actress is expected to stay there until her October 22 probation violation hearing.

What do you think of Lohan going back into rehab?

ORIGINAL STORY – 09/27/10 –

As Gossip Cop reported yesterday, Lindsay Lohan is headed to rehab, and reportedly it could be within the next 24 hours.

The actress, who recently tweeted, “I am working hard to overcome [addiction],” is expected to check into a Los Angeles-area rehab facility, and stay there until her October 22 probation violation hearing – and possibly even longer, notes TMZ.

As opposed to Lohan’s previous rehab stints, both court ordered and voluntarily entered, this time the decision is coming entirely from her.

Sources tell Gossip Cop that Lohan wants to take control of her life, and no longer have relapses like her last one, which briefly landed her in jail (until she was bailed out).

From everything we can tell, Lohan is truly taking her latest setback seriously.

What do you think of Lohan’s decision to enter rehab?

“Does Kim Kardashian Have Her Eye On A New Boy Toy … Say, Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez?” ask the poor sports at HollywoodLife.

And what would warrant the site to run with this?

Simple. Kardashian attended the Jets-Dolphins game in Miami last Sunday.

Apparently, the fact that the reality star was at Sun Life Stadium – along with 75,549 other people – was more than enough to link Kardashian to Sanchez, and ask whether she “has found a new man to replace Miles Austin?”

“If Kim did attend the game just to watch Mark move his cute patootie across the field,” theorizes HollywoodLife, “this would come as no surprise as she has a history of dating athletes — specifically football players.”

It’s an interesting Hail Mary HollywoodLife has thrown out there, but as usual the site’s reporting is incomplete.

Time to tackle this one.

Kardashian did not go to the Dolphins game in Miami, where she co-owns a store, for her “new man” Mark Sanchez.

The two are separately playing the field.

Instead, she was a guest of a real estate mogul along with a slew of other celebs, including Jennifer Lopez and Fergie.

Once again, HollywoodLife fumbles.

The stars of polygamy reality show “Sister Wives” are speaking out after news broke that the family is the focus of a felony bigamy investigation.

Kody Brown has three wives already and another woman set to become his fourth.

Utah officials are assembling evidence against the Browns in anticipation of possible prosecution.

“We are disappointed in the announcement of an investigation, but when we decided to do this show, we knew there would be risks,” said the Browns in a statement to Gossip Cop.

“But for the sake of our family, and most importantly, our kids, we felt it was a risk worth taking.”

What do you think about the show?
