Matthew Perry is taking a trip as a proactive measure in his ongoing struggle with substance abuse.
The “Friends” star tells TMZ, “I’m making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery.”
“Please enjoy making fun of me on the World Wide Web.”
There’s been no indication that Perry suffered a relapse of any kind.
Perry entered treatment for addiction to prescription pills in 1997 and 2001.
Gossip Cop wishes Perry the best.

Ashton Kutcher is the latest name being mentioned as a possible replacement for Charlie Sheen on “Two and a Half Men.”
According to the trade publication Broadcasting & Cable, “Ashton Kutcher, who starred on Fox’s That 70’s Show from 1998 – 2006, is among the latest stars under consideration.”
A Warner Bros. rep tells Gossip Cop, “We are not commenting on speculation,” and Kutcher’s spokeswoman has yet to get back to us.
The Hollywood Reporter is now saying it’s “all but signed.”
We’re still looking into the claims.
Just yesterday it emerged that Hugh Grant had been in talks to join “Two and a Half Men.”

HollywoodLife does a lot of dopey stuff.
A lot of dopey stuff.
So when HollywoodLife does something so dopey that it makes seen-it-all-before Gossip Cop do a double-take… well, we need to share it with our beloved visitors.
Here’s that site’s latest poll question: “Is Chaz Bono Copying Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s Style?”
Let that sit for a few seconds.
Is Chaz Bono, a 42-year-old activist and author, consciously mimicking the fashion “choices” of a four-year-old?
HollywoodLife claims they’re “Total Fashion Look-Alikes!” Let’s go to the site’s “evidence.”
(HollywoodLife)
As you can see, both Chaz and Shiloh wear bathing suits, a highly unusual choice at swimming pools. Therefore, Chaz must be copying Shiloh.
(HollywoodLife)
Chaz wears ties. Shiloh wore a tie. Even though the ties look nothing alike, the choice still makes it clear: Chaz obviously copies Shiloh.
(HollywoodLife)
Chaz was once photographed wearing fatigue-style shorts. Shiloh had similarly designed pants. Like two peas in a pod!
We’re going to give HollywoodLife the benefit of the doubt and assume this poll was (at least partly) done tongue-in-cheek.
But since the site has a habit of linking celebrities irrespective of common sense, and drawing connections between stories and people even if there is no connection to be made, Gossip Cop will also assume HollywoodLife has outdone its ridiculousness by comparing Chaz’s fashion choices to a kid.

“Katie Holmes was by Tom Cruise’s side as her husband accepted a humanitarian award from the Simon Wiesenthal Center in LA on May 5,” begins a piece in Life & Style, which adds, “Though she smiled demurely for the cameras… the actress looked like she would’ve rather been anywhere else but seated next to Tom at the posh dinner reception.”
Really?
According to the tab, “Tom’s eager to have another baby — but Katie’s just not ready, and the disagreement may be causing tension.”
Wait… “may be causing tension”?
So Life & Style doesn’t know why (or even if)Â there’s tension, but decided to float the baby theory anyway?
Then the magazine quotes a so-called “eyewitness” who says, “Tom and Katie barely spoke during the four hours they were at the award dinner… There was a definite chill between them. They looked like they weren’t even friends.”
That’s sad — sad reporting.
Gossip Cop just happened to have an acquaintance who was there… with Cruise and Holmes. And we’re told all the jibber-jabber about how they “barely spoke,” and that there was a “chill” between the two stars is “false,” “made up,” and “ridiculous.”
Oops.

“The claws are out as party-pals-turned-arch-rivals Pippa Middleton and Chelsy Davy battle for Prince Harry’s heart,” announces In Touch in one of the week’s most predictable – and bogus – stories.
Now that Prince William and (the former) Kate Middleton’s nuptials have passed, frenzied tabloids are trying to create a war between the bride’s popular sister and Davy, Harry’s longtime girlfriend.
Last week, Star hit the ground running with a ridiculous “love triangle” story, and now In Touch has taken the baton.
According to the mag’s “source,” Davy watched unhappily at the royal wedding reception as Harry and Middleton engaged in “over-the-top flirtatious behavior.” But magically, by the time dinner began, “Harry was back in Chelsy’s good graces.”
Translation: Nothing actually changed between Harry and Davy.
The “source” also tells In Touch that Middleton “wouldn’t hesitate to dump” boyfriend Alex Loudon for Harry if she had the opportunity, because she wants to be like her sister and marry a prince.
Translation: Middleton is already happy with her non-royal boyfriend, even though her sister dated the world’s most famous prince for eight years.
In Touch’s insider admits that, shockingly, Middleton and Davy are “good friends,” noting that they partied with Harry together the night before the wedding.
Translation: They’re friends. They don’t hate each other. There’s no war.
At the very end of the article, In Touch says, “Just because she may look the part of a princess, it doesn’t mean Pippa will steal Harry’s heart. Harry is ‘truly in love with Chelsy,’ the source [says].”
Translation: The magazine knows full well its own story is complete b.s.

Justin Bieber is going to make another one of his fan’s dreams come true.
The Biebs just shot down a New York Magazine piece titled “Obama Makes Another Promise He Won’t Be Able to Keep,” in which the mag highly doubts Obama will follow through on his promise to arrange a meeting between a 14-year-old girl who lost her father on 9/11 and Bieber.
The girl, Payton Wall, had written a letter to the White House explaining how Bieber’s music helped her overcome the horrible tragedy.
The teen singer squashed the mag’s story by tweeting, “I think you’re wrong [New York magazine]. pretty sure President @BarackObama will keep this promise.”
Although it’s not known when and where the meeting will occur, we’re confident that Bieber, who sang his heart out in Manila despite being violently ill, will follow through on his word.

(MediaTakeOut)
Whenever MediaTakeOut leads with a Beyonce story, it’s gonna be good.
After all, the site once claimed Gwyneth Paltrow was threatening Beyonce’s marriage to Jay-Z, and later announced the couple was separating.
Both stories were 100% bogus.
Now MTO wants everyone to believe a new “EXPLOSIVE REPORT” that Beyonce and her advisors had an “EMERGENCY MEETING” about “DROPPING” Jay Z and RocNation “as her managers.”
What makes MediaTakeOut so sure Beyonce wants to dump Jay-Z professionally?
He and other members of the Roc Nation management team were “noticeably ABSENT” from the meeting.
Hmm.
Well, that makes sense… because Roc Nation DOES NOT MANAGE Beyonce.
MTO seems to think Jay-Z’s company manages his wife’s career – as the site wrongly reported before – but that does not make it true.
A source close to Beyonce tells Gossip Cop “she has nothing to do with them.”
She cannot “dump” Roc Nation because she never worked with Roc Nation.
It’s just another “EXPLOSIVE” MTO report that blows up in the site’s face.

It’s hard not to laugh along with Ellen DeGeneres, even when she’s keeping a straight face.
The talk-show host joined Taylor Swift in a humorous yet completely serious message…
