CLAIM: “It’s Over” for “Bachelor” Brad Womack and Emily Maynard



(OK! magazine)

Brad Womack and Emily Maynard have been at the center of a tabloid whirlwind ever since getting engaged on the season finale of “The Bachelor.”

Now the new OK! magazine claims they’re done.

“It’s Over!” blares the cover, going on to explain, “They’re still smiling for the cameras, but Emily has now dumped Brad for good.”

Sigh.

Here we go with yet another story alleging a couple only appears to be together as an act.

“The two are pretending they’re together for the sake of The Bachelor brand,” explains the magazine. ”In real life, a staffer from the show has revealed exclusively to OK! that Emily has broken up with Brad – for good.”

Maynard was supposedly infuriated while having to watch Womack interact with his other suitors as “The Bachelor” aired this winter, and the couple was unable to put aside their alleged fighting.

Supposedly, Womack and Maynard seem so blissful now only because they signed a contract to appear together after the show ended if he proposed.

“Although Emily is doing her best to abide by the Bachelor agreements now that she’s fallen out of love with Brad, she’s having a hard time being around him,” explains OK!

If Maynard and Womack are just pretending to be happy together, they’re doing a really good job.

“I love @BRAD_WOMACK ! Everyone add him but don’t forget he’s taken!” tweeted Maynard this afternoon.

Womack, who just joined Twitter today, had his own response to the latest rumors.

“Btw Em and I are better than ever. In fact maybe we should take editor of OK mag out for a drink. I’m buying,” joked the former “Bachelor.”

He added, “Don’t believe what you read in the tabloids. I guess doom & gloom sells better than happiness!”

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves.

A source close to the couple tells Gossip Cop the story is “completely false,” adding Womack and Maynard “are going strong and are very happy.”

We’re assured that they are still engaged, and while there are no current wedding plans (and no guarantees with reality TV), Womack and Maynard are excited to be with each other, regardless of cameras and contracts.

MAG: Kate Hudson “Betrayed” By Cheating Matt Bellamy



(GettyImages.com)

Kate Hudson: PREGNANT & BETRAYED” declares a headline from In Touch, which claims Hudson’s baby daddy Matt Bellamy is cheating on her.

According to a supposed “insider” for the the tabloid, Bellamy was spotted flirting with a “young, sweet college girl” at a recent party thrown by Bellamy and his Muse bandmates.

“She and Matthew were very one-on-one with each other, holding hands and kissing,” says the alleged insider, adding that his schmoozy behavior with her “wasn’t unusual.”

The mag then goes on to portray Bellamy as a philandering party animal.

So, is Hudson setting herself up for more hurt?

Nope.

The expecting couple, who are currently shopping for a place in L.A., are perfectly happy together and looking forward to their addition, says a solid source.

Actually, the only ones “betrayed” here are In Touch’s readers, who have to stomach false rumors of infidelity when Hudson’s about to have a baby.

Check out PHOTOS of Bellamy, Hudson and her son Ryder recently vacationing in Mexico!

CLAIM: John Stamos Will Star on ‘Two and a Half Men’ If Given Own CBS Show

According to the National Enquirer, in the midst of the Charlie Sheen drama, John Stamos told “Two and a Half Men” producer Chuck Lorre, CBS and Warner Bros. that he’s not interested “taking over a show from someone else… and it’s not about the money.”

The tab claims Stamos conveyed to the execs, “The only thing that would change my mind… is if CBS would commit to developing a series that’s my own!”

If CBS would do that, claims the Enquirer, Stamos would commit to a one-year deal which would allow the network to fulfill its scheduled run of “Two and a Half Men.”

You know what’s great about this story?

Nothing.

A source close to Stamos tells Gossip Cop that the Enquirer’s entire premise is “not true.”

Westboro Baptist Church to Protest Elizabeth Taylor’s Funeral



The Westboro Baptist Church plans to protest Elizabeth Taylor’s funeral.

Margie Phelps, the WBC’s lawyer and daughter of leader Fred Phelps, announced the group’s intention on Twitter.

Known for their vile message of “God Hates F*gs” and policy of disturbing the bereaved, the “Church” now intends to disrupt Taylor’s ceremony due to her ardent HIV/AIDS activism and “enabling” of gays.

We’re at a loss for words.

Taylor died early today at 79.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Prenup Details?



(GettyImages.com)

Star magazine promises to reveal “details of the iron-clad prenup” between Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson.

According to a so-called “insider” for the tab, “Eric is on what you might call a vesting plan.”

The alleged “insider” explains, “He’ll get $500,000 as a wedding present. Then, on each anniversary, he’ll get another $200,000. If he and Jessica make it to five years of marriage, he’ll get an additional $500,000 bonus – and a $1 million bonus if they make it to 10 years.”

How… romantic?

One major “detail” missing, however, from the Star story is… the truth.

A source close to Simpson tells Gossip Cop that, contrary to the tab’s report, “Nothing has been worked out yet” with a prenuptial agreement since they’re still “just enjoying being engaged.”

Rather than spinning tales about Johnson’s “vesting” plan, Star would do well to invest time into fact-checking.

Ashley Greene Victim of Paparazzi and Misleading Article



(GettyImages.com)

According to E! Online, Ashley Greene “gave some serious ‘tude” last night in Los Angeles when photographers asked about her split from Joe Jonas.

The site claims the Twilight star “snapped” when a paparazzo “deigned to inquire about her former fling,” with whom she recently broke up.

“Why so snippy, Ash?” asks E!

One tiny problem… there’s video of the incident, and the only rude ones are the photographers themselves.

Greene and her companions were met by paparazzi who swarmed the actress, almost knocking over some bystanders.

Meanwhile, Greene never gets “snippy” with them at all.

She simply tells one photographer – very calmly – that his question is “not nice.”

That’s it.

Greene then smiles and poses for pictures with fans.

We’re not sure where she shows off that alleged “tude.”

It’s a shame that outlets feel the need to portray Greene and other perfectly polite stars with misleading accounts like this one.

Check it out for yourself below.

WATCH:

Rihanna and Colin Farrell Are “Getting Hot and Heavy”?

“It’s getting hot and heavy between superstar songbird Rihanna and hunky Colin Farrell,” reports Star magazine.

According to a so-called “friend” of the singer, “Colin and Rihanna sparked big time after they were guests on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ in London last November,” and “have been seeing each other on and off since.”

Farrell supposedly even asked the “Only Girl” singer to meet his two children, which Rihanna “takes as a sign that he’s getting serious about her,” says the mag.

Rihanna “understands that Colin has a reputation as a womanizer,” adds the tabloid, but “is willing to take a leap of faith” on the Irish actor.

Really?

NO.

Rihanna and Farrell are NOT a couple, despite the unrelenting tabloids’ contention that they are.

They did NOT dine together at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica last week. She did NOT meet his sons. And they are NOTgetting serious.”

A source close to the singer tells Gossip Cop that they met all of once – at “The Graham Norton Show” in November – and that’s all, folks.
