Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux NOT Having Sleepovers, Despite Claim

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are not having secret sleepovers at her home roughly six months after their separation, despite a claim. Gossip Cop can bust the false story. As widely reported, Aniston has been away on a film shoot since June.

The National Enquirer alleges Theroux has “secretly parked himself back in her life — and garage,” based on a paparazzi photo that purports to show two of his cars at Aniston’s Los Angeles property. The arrangement has supposedly led to “hush-hush rendezvous as the pair try to restart their romance.” A so-called “source” is quoted as saying, “At first, Jen was letting Justin keep the cars there until he could arrange to have them moved, but it has given them the opportunity to reconnect.”

The untraceable snitch maintains the vehicles “represent how wonderful life was for him when he was living with Jen in L.A.” For her part, the supermarket tabloid similarly contends, “Jen is also attached to the car[s] because [they represent] a happy marriage time in their marriage.” Curiously, the magazine suggests the cars have just been sitting at Aniston’s residence for half a year, despite a picture only recently surfacing.

The outlet claims Aniston “allowed” Theroux to keep the vehicles on her property all this time knowing “he’d have to come and collect… soon or later.” Asserts the purported insider, “Sure as anything, it happened — and that was the catalyst for them to talk about the possibility of reuniting.” Since then, the publication insists “the cars have brought them back together under one roof,” and alleges they’ve “even been having secret sleepovers to see if they can get along well enough to give things another go.”

But Aniston and Theroux haven’t been “under one roof” or having “secret sleepovers” at her home, and that’s rather easy to prove. In June, the actress began production on Netflix’s Murder Mystery. At the time, the streaming company announced, “Filming began this week in Montreal and will also film in locations throughout Europe.” Indeed, Aniston was spotted on the Canadian set as early as June 20.

She was up north for most of July, until the production moved to Europe. On July 21, Aniston was seen in Portofino, and she was still in Italy as recently as this past weekend, when Aniston and co-star Adam Sandler visited George Clooney’s Lake Como villa. There have been no sightings of the “Friends” star in California because she hasn’t been there in a month and a half. So even if Theroux were to be crashing at his former home, he wouldn’t be doing so with Aniston by his side as there is unequivocal evidence that she’s been out of town.

It’s also rather odd that the tabloid is now claiming a “reconciliation” is in the works after spending months alleging the exes have become enemies. In fact, in July the magazine went as far as contending Aniston confessed that she shouldn’t have ever married Theroux. The outlet seems to deal in unsubstantiated extremes instead of factual reality.

Teen Mom OG Alum Ryan Edwards Speaks Out After Latest Arrest!

Ryan Edwards is setting the record straight.

As we reported last month, the Teen Mom OG alum was arrested in Tennessee for breaking probation over a 2017 heroin possession charge. He was released from jail after a week.

Although — at the time — an inmate information system listed the charge as possession of a controlled substance, Maci Bookout‘s ex insists he was NOT detained for drugs. He told E! News on Wednesday:

“I got a speeding ticket and while I was pulled over, it came up that I was in violation of my probation because the community service had not been completed… I didn’t do all of it. I went to jail for not doing all of my community service. It’s not that I wasn’t taking the community service seriously, it’s just that we have so much going on, I didn’t realize the deadline had passed. It was just a misunderstanding. I thought I had more time.”

Despite the apparent mixup, the MTV personality is taking responsibility for his actions.

“I take full accountability. I messed up, but I’ve had a chance to get organized and fix the situation.”

Pregnant wife Mackenzie Edwards told the publication that she fully stands by her husband through his legal drama.

“Ryan is my husband… Yes, he’s made some mistakes but we are moving past them. He has my full support.”

Edwards also said he was in jail for a week until he could get a court date.

“Jail was slow… The days were long. It was really hard to be away from my family. Without a doubt it was a learning experience.”

The 30-year-old, who is currently awaiting his community service assignment, faces six extra months of probation stemming from his latest arrest.

And he’ll have a lot more free time as last month, Edwards and his wife announced they are not returning for the upcoming season of Teen Mom OG.

Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher NOT Headed For Divorce Over “Cheating Secrets,” Despite Report

Mila Kunis Ashton Kutcher Cheating

(Star)

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are not headed for divorce over alleged “cheating,” despite a new tabloid cover story. The purported infidelity “secrets” don’t even directly relate to their marriage. Gossip Cop can bust this sensationally wrong report.

The latest cover of Star announces, “Mila’s Cheating, Lies & Secrets!” Inside the issue, a headline similarly declares, “Mila’s Cheating Bombshell!” It’s all designed to make readers think Kunis has been caught cheating on Kutcher. That’s not the case. Rather, the tabloid absurdly claims that Kunis “two-timed her rumored fiancé” more than a decade ago, and that “shocking betrayal could lead to a $ 225 million divorce” with Kutcher.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1526939461036-0’); });

The premise of the narrative is that Kunis was supposedly engaged to Morgan J. Freeman, her director for 2002’s American Psycho 2, when she “dumped him” for Macaulay Culkin. The magazine contends, “Friends fear that Mila’s shocking affair, which left Morgan heartbroken and humiliated, could spell the end of her long-troubled marriage” to Kutcher, and “trigger a nasty $ 225 million divorce.” It should be noted that while “$ 225 million” is the figure used throughout the article, the number on the cover is “$ 255 million.” (See above.)

The outlet doesn’t explain the discrepancy, but insists that Kunis “ran off with Macaulay” while she was still allegedly involved with Freeman. Though neither the actress nor the filmmaker have spoken about having a romance, let alone one that ended with infidelity, the publication maintains her “long-buried betrayal could be the nail in the coffin for her three-year marriage” to Kutcher. A so-called “insider” is quoted as saying, “Ashton is going to be devastated — and absolutely furious — when he learns about Mila’s affair.”

It’s not said just why the actor would be upset over Kunis’ alleged history, particularly given that Kutcher himself was accused of cheating amidst his split from Demi Moore in 2011. In fact, Star goes on to claim that “ironically,” Kunis has “trust issues” with Kutcher after he was “spotted with a gorgeous mystery gal aboard his private jet at a Los Angeles airport in June.” Actually, the magazine first made this allegation in the summer of 2017, after which Kutcher slammed the tabloid and revealed that the woman in question was his cousin.

The outlet is deceptively bringing back a year-old, debunked contention to fit its new storyline, which ends with an alleged “pal” asserting, “Mila and Ashton were already miserable, and now these secrets and lies have finally come to light. I’d be shocked if they survived this!” To be clear, the publication and this untraceable “friend” are predicting Kunis and Kutcher will divorce because she supposedly cheated on a former boyfriend roughly 16 years ago.

On top of the ridiculousness of this, it must be noted that this same tabloid falsely announced a divorce for Kunis and Kutcher in the spring of 2017. More than a year has gone by and the couple is still happily together. There’s even video from only two weeks ago of Kunis and Kutcher sneaking in a kiss at the premiere of The Spy Who Dumped Me. Clearly they are not “miserable,” nor is there any reason for them to be getting divorced.

Additionally, Gossip Cop could find no evidence of an engagement between Kunis and Freeman, and a rep for the actress tells us that’s because there wasn’t one. We’re also assured there was no cheating scandal involving Culkin, for which there is no proof either. And, as Gossip Cop demonstrated, Kunis’ marriage to Kutcher is doing just fine.

Is Ariel Winter Pregnant?

Is Ariel Winter pregnant? That’s the theory put forth in one of the tabloids. Gossip Cop, however, can reveal the truth.

A headline in NW exclaims, “Ariel Winter’s Baby Shock: Pregnant At 20?!” Speculating that the actress has a “hint of a tell-tale bump,” the magazine claims Winter has “sparked buzz” that she and boyfriend Levi Meaden are “expecting.” The outlet has no confirmation that she’s actually pregnant, but maintains that “falling pregnant is something” she and Meaden “want to happen ASAP.”

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1526939461036-0’); });

“Ariel has had babies on the brain for a while now. She’s very mature for her age and feels ready to be a mum,” a so-called “close friend” is quoted as saying. It should be noted that it is highly unlikely a “close friend” of the California born-and-raised Winter would refer to her as a “mum,” as opposed to a “mom.” There is further reason to question how “close” this purported pal really is, when he or see goes on to assert, “She’s glowing and so in love and has been acting happy and excited lately, which has everyone thinking she could possibly be pregnant.”

An actual “close friend” of Winter’s would know whether she’s pregnant or not, instead of just “thinking” she may “possibly be.” It’s also ridiculous to suggest that the only reason the “Modern Family” star might be glowing, in love, happy and excited is due to a pregnancy. And instead of providing actual proof that Winter is currently expecting, the untraceable source only offers what are ultimately meaningless statements, like, “Ariel would like to start a family young.” That also isn’t evidence of a pregnancy.

Additionally, while it’s claimed she may have a “baby bump,” photos of Winter baring her midriff last week show she has no “bump” at all. That was also evident when Winter went to the gym in late July, wearing a sports bra and tight leggings that left her midsection exposed. Winter has openly discussed the body shaming she’s endured for not being as thin as some other stars. It seems the publication is twisting her curves into a sign of a nonexistent pregnancy.

In fact, a rep for Winter laughed off this story when Gossip Cop inquired about the possibility of Winter expecting. And the star herself is even mocking the article. When a fan on Twitter sent Winter an image of the page with its big “baby bump” designation, she cracked in reply, “[Expletive] pulled pork sandwiches.”

Conclusion: NW theorizes Winter is pregnant and sporting a blossoming belly, but recent photos of the actress show her stomach is flat. Furthermore, as opposed to relying on a single anonymous “insider,” both Winter herself and her spokesperson are on the record confirming she isn’t expecting.

On top of making judgments about her appearance, this narrative continues a trend of tabloids rushing the star along. This time last year, OK! falsely announced Winter was ready to have a baby with Meaden. Then in September, the magazine’s sister site, RadarOnline, wrongly claimed Winter was “begging” her boyfriend to get her pregnant “ASAP.” It still hasn’t happened, despite this latest tale from NW.

5 Wrong Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton Marriage And Wedding Rumors

Gwen Stefani Blake Shelton Wedding Rumors

Throughout Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s nearly three-year relationship, the tabloids have been rushing them down the aisle. In fact, there have been so many false marriage and wedding rumors that Gossip Cop has lost count. But below, we’ve rounded up five examples just from 2018.

The year started out with OK! announcing in early January that Stefani and Shelton secretly married in a “backyard wedding.” It was specifically alleged the ceremony took place at her L.A. estate around the holidays, and was arranged at the last minute with only “27 of the couple’s nearest and dearest” in attendance. The magazine further tried to dupe readers by teasing on its cover, “His Mom Tells All.” That made it seem like Shelton’s mother gave all the purported details to the outlet. In actuality, the article featured an old quote from someone who claimed to be a “surrogate mom” to the country superstar. Fishy? Totally. And a rep for Stefani also confirmed to Gossip Cop that the marriage claims were completely “untrue.”

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1526939461036-0’); });

In April, Life & Style declared on its cover that Stefani and Shelton were having a “wedding & a baby.” Gossip Cop immediately pointed out the photo deception right on the cover. To make readers think the songstress was already expecting, the publication took a photo of the couple walking on the beach and digitally removed an alcoholic beverage from Stefani’s hand. As for the wedding portion of the story, it was claimed the pair intended to marry “this summer” in front of just “22 friends.” (Sound familiar?) But just a few weeks before this, “Entertainment Tonight” reported that Stefani and Shelton were “not ready to get married.” Now a huge chunk of the summer has passed, and they still haven’t tied the knot.

The following month, In Touch maintained Stefani and Shelton’s wedding plans were “in crisis.” While she was supposedly “dropping major hints” about getting married, it was claimed he wasn’t “ready to get hitched, and he may never be.” As proof, the magazine pointed to an interview in which Shelton when asked about marrying Stefani and replied, “I don’t think it’s any time soon or anything.” But as Gossip Cop noted at the time, the outlet misled fans by not featuring his full remarks. Shelton actually said, “I think about it. I don’t think it’s any time soon or anything. The more time that goes by, I guess, the closer you’d be getting to that.” Clearly, he didn’t rule out getting married at all, and actually suggested it may happen down the road.

Also in May, the National Enquirer peddled a story contending, Shelton was “converting to Catholicism to marry” Stefani. “After Gwen and her parents welcomed Blake into their family, they asked him to become a Catholic as a final step to the altar,” alleged the tabloid, with a source adding, “Blake didn’t blink when he asked.” It was further claimed he had given up drinking, too. But only days before this, Shelton had posted on Twitter a photo of himself drinking with Stefani by his side. As for the contentions about a religious conversion, though Shelton is sometimes seen attending church with Stefani, her spokesperson told Gossip Cop it was not true she and her parents asked him to convert.

In June, OK! apparently forgot it already claimed Stefani and Shelton were married because it ran a new story speculating a wedding was “weeks away.” After the couple attended a friend’s nuptials in Texas, the publication asserted their own “country-style wedding” was in the works. The supposed plans entailed having a “midsummer backyard wedding at Blake’s sprawling Oklahoma ranch.” Reminder: In the January cover story, it was alleged they married in a “backyard wedding” at Stefani’s home. The blatant flip-flop underscored just how made-up the tabloid’s articles were. And on top of Stefani’s rep telling Gossip Cop this latest tale was “not true,” it should be noted that “midsummer” has come and gone by this point without any wedding.

The gossip media has a few storylines it loves to return to over and over again. That’s why Gossip Cop has also looked at wrong Stefani-Shelton split rumors, as well as wrong rumors about Shelton and Stefani having a baby. The tabloids constantly want to put the couple, and all celebrity duos, into boxes. But oftentimes, they don’t really fit a mold. As Stefani and Shelton’s relationship continues to progress at their own pace, Gossip Cop will keep letting fans know what’s real and what’s rumor.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas Marriage In Trouble Over Michelle Pfeiffer?

A tabloid report claiming Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas’ marriage is in trouble because he’s “crushing” on Michelle Pfeiffer is completely untrue. Gossip Cop can debunk the bogus story. A rep for the couple denies it, and there’s plenty of evidence on social media proving their relationship is going strong.

According to the Globe, Douglas is infatuated with his Ant-Man and the Wasp co-star, to the point where it’s threatening his nearly 18-year marriage. An alleged “insider” tells the magazine, “He’s acting like a lovesick schoolboy. He says it’s harmless, but he’s Silly Putty around Michelle. He’s obviously having a late-life crush on her.”

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1526939461036-0’); });

It should be noted, Pfeiffer has been married to TV producer David E. Kelley for almost 25 years, so the tabloid is basically suggesting that Douglas would consider leaving his wife to pursue a married woman. Regardless, the outlet’s report is based on claims from an anonymous and untraceable “source,” but a rep for the couple says on the record that the article is fabricated and Pfeiffer hasn’t come between them. The spokesperson also notes that Douglas just visited his wife in Atlanta on the set of her upcoming TV show before traveling to Europe to promote Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Just last week, Zeta-Jones shared an Instagram photo of her and Douglas meeting for the first time at the Deauville Film Festival in August 1998. Along with a photo of the two in mid-conversation, the actress joked, “Can’t remember what he was talking about.” The actress wasn’t merely commemorating a wedding anniversary or a birthday, but instead went out of her way to reminisce about the first time she and her husband met 20 years ago. It’s quite apparent the actress is very happily married after all these years.

It’s possible this article was written simply because Douglas praised Pfeiffer in an interview with Metro last month. The actor told the newspaper, “We got on – I had never met her before, and it was the first time we had worked together but she is my kind of lady, she’s great, boom, cool, smart, witty…” Complimenting a co-star isn’t the same thing as having a major “crush” on her.

For instance, Paul Rudd also gushed about working with Pfeiffer in the Ant-Man sequel, and the publication isn’t accusing him of having romantic feelings towards her. The Globe’s article is just another example of a tabloid wrongly alleging that a celebrity couple is on the verge of a split over one of their co-stars, which is a tired narrative that’s frequently repeated by the gossip media.

Beyonce Was NOT Chosen For Vogue Cover Because Meghan Markle Passed, Despite Report

A report claiming Beyonce was chosen for the cover of Vogue’s September issue after Meghan Markle passed on the offer is completely untrue. Gossip Cop can exclusively debunk the claim. Official spokespeople for the magazine confirm it’s false.

According to Naughty Gossip, however, Beyonce “has no idea” that she “was the second choice for the issue” after the Duchess of Sussex supposedly rejected it. An alleged insider tells the blog that several Vogue insiders are aware “that Anna Wintour really, really wanted Meghan,” adding, “She wanted to do the first official cover and interview with the new Royal.”

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1526939461036-0’); });

The supposed source further contends that Wintour “offered to shoot the pictures anywhere Meghan wanted and would be willing to personally go to London herself to oversee the shoot and interview.” The suspicious tipster adds, “Anna was even happy to allow Meghan to decide what photographer she wanted. But, she said no, so the magazine moved onto pop royalty.”

The website’s story is coming from an anonymous, untraceable and seemingly nonexistent “source,” but Gossip Cop reached out to Vogue spokespeople qualified to speak on behalf of the magazine. We’re told Beyonce was the only choice for the September cover and the blog’s premise is “total nonsense.” Unfortunately, the tabloids Star and OK! clearly didn’t do any fact-checking, as they spread the phony story online as well.

Meanwhile, Wintour admitted she gave Beyonce a lot of control over the editorial content, more so than other Vogue cover stars are normally given. According to Business of Fashion, and confirmed by Wintour, the singer worked with editors to ensure that the feature accompanying her interview would be written in “her own words.” The legendary editor-in-chief even told the website, “Who is better to write about Beyonce than Beyonce?”

The singer was also provided with a selection of photographers and got approval over who was hired to shoot the cover. If Beyonce were truly the second fiddle, it’s hard to believe she would be given so much authority over Vogue’s September issue, which is considered its biggest of the year.

It should be noted, Beyonce was also featured on the cover of the September 2015 issue of Vogue. Wintour later explained on the magazine’s podcast why she wanted the singer for the coveted position. “I think Beyonce is every woman,” said the editor-in-chief. “She’s superwoman, she’s an extraordinary business woman, she’s a force of fashion. She totally understands the way to communicate to millions and millions of fans.” Wintour clearly has a ton of respect for Beyonce and is proud to make her the September cover star.
