I Ain't One To Gossip, But....

There are all kinds of rumors about why the Jennifer Lopez/Marc Anthony marriage went down in a burst of flames.
Some say she wanted to get back with Diddy.
Some say he was a control freak.
Some say she was hooking up with a male model.
Some say she was getting back together with Ben Affleck.

But, maybe, the reason for the sudden end to what looked like the happiest marriage ever--I kid because it's JLo we're talking about and none of her relationships last--is Scientology.
It seems JLo has been Scientology adjacent for a few years now, palling around with the likes of Mr. Scientology and his Robot Wife, Tommy Grrrl Cruise and Katie Holmes.

And then came the announcement in a  recent interview that JLo ‘wouldn’t mind’ having her twins educated by the Church of Scientology, adding: ‘I just wish that people wouldn’t judge it without knowing what it is.’
Hard not to judge when they keep their practices so private. Jen.
A source close to JLo--and by source, I mean Tom Cruise, because the girl loves to gossip--says, "Jennifer and Marc couldn’t see eye-to-eye on the subject. She’s always been more into the church than him. He wasn’t a huge fan and it caused problems."
Problems like, oh, I don't know, how the church ALLEGEDLY asks its members to distance themselves from non-members, even if the non-member is your spouse and the father of your children.
And, please to remember, the Church of Scientology has always been touted to celebrities as more of a career-booster first, and a religious belief second, so it's no wonder JLo, who's career was in the toilet for a number of years, would want to join up and save her precious job as opposed to saving her marriage. I mean, she can always have another right? She's straight and they can run through marriages like topilet paper.
And while she is the newest jewel in the Scientology crown, joining other luminaries as strictly hetero John Travolta and Tom Cruise, Scientology is also home to big names like Danny Masterson,  Lisa Marie Presley and JLo’s close friend Leah Remini. I know. Who?
So, it wasn't other men, although I'm sure there were other men, and it wasn't control, although I'm sure Marc's a control freak. It was all about JLo and her need for fame and money.
Color me surprised. 

Looks like trouble on the set of 'The Talk'--CBS' 'The View' knock-off.

Apparently, Julie Chen’s “queen bee attitude” is forcing the ladies of 'The Talk' to flee the gab-fest after just one season. We've already heard that Sharon Osbourne will be taking time away from the show to focus on her family; funny, but Osbourne hasn't given up her other show, 'America's Got Talent' for her family, so this excuse don't fly.
But now comes word that has-been sitcom star, and JLo galpal Leah Remini plans to quit also, and that co-host Holly Robinson Peete announced last week said she will not return for Season 2.
The last straw for Osbourne and Remini was Chen’s order, passed down from her husband,m who just happens to be president of CBS, Les Moonves, that the women were not allowed to discuss the Casey Anthony case without Julie Chen at the table because she’s the only host with journalistic credentials.
You know, hosting 'Big Brother' is a ginormous journalistic endeavor.
A source--and by source, I mean JLo, who cannot keep her name out of the press--says, "[Julie] said, ‘My husband feels strongly that you should not be talking about news [without me], you are not news people.’”
And Sharon Osbourne said, 'Bollocks!' Or maybe it was 'Loo'. Or 'Bangers and mash.' I dunno; I just know it was British and she wasn't amused.
But Chen has her own supporters, who are feeding their version of what happened, and they--and by 'they,' I mean CBS President, and Julie Chen's baby-daddy, Les Moonves--say, "[Julie is] the glue that holds the show together.” 'They' lay the blame on Leah Remini, saying, “[She] was a disruptive force. She had a huge morale problem.”
'They' also say that part of the problem is Remini's mother, who came to the show nearly everyday, and refused to follow studio rules: “Her mother never parked in her assigned space. She was told not to park in the lot anymore. ”
Call out the guards! Remini's mom is in Julie's space again!
In addition to Osbourne, Remini, and Robinson-Peete's exits, are the departures of two of the show's executive producers. Still, co-host, and creator of the show, Sara Gilbert is slated to return.
'The Talk' with Julie Chen and Sara Gilbert.
I see a lot of dead air on that show.

Sound the alarms! Lohan may have a new job!

It seems that website, Cheaterville.com, has extended an offer to Lindsay Lohan to endorse their anti-cheating website in the hopes that it will improve her image.
Seriously. Cheaterville.com's slogan is “Fight Infidelity: Post a Known Cheater Now!”  and is the go-to site to blacklist all cheaters and promote fidelity in relationships.
And they want serial criminal, drug addict and alcoholic Lindsay Lohan to be the face of fidelity?
Well, she hasn't broken up any one's marriage that we know of....so far.
The company approached Lohan in the hopes that it might clean up her bad girl image by having her rat out cheaters and stuff. And the fact is that Lindsay does not have a rep as a “cheater,” but more of a "party girl," "kidnapper," "rehab addict" and "jewel thief".
So let's get Lohan to endorse not cheating, m'kay? See, Lindsay does have some experience with cheating, though not as the cheater but as the cheatee. Cheatee?
Back in '10--does that not sound weird?--Lindsay was the victim of infidelity when, she ALLEGES, her then-girlfriend Samantha Ronson cheated on her. Lindsay was so emotionally devastated that she went on a crime spree, or maybe she just Tweeted her pain: “Being cheated on does wonders to you. I’m doing this publicly because u & ur friends call People. So you win, you broke my heart. Now go away. I loved you.”
So, who better than to endorse Cheaterville.com than a victim of the cheat herself?
Plus, she will ALLEGEDLY be paid some $25,000 for the endorsement, which will buy her a lot of shoes, but not be enough money to pay for her court-ordered therapy.

Shoes? mental health/ Shoes? Rehab? Shoes? Jail times?
Shoes win.

Professional wrestlers always seemed slightly homophobic to me, even though they get paid big bucks to wrestle other men in their skintight skivvies, and they preen and prance like drag queens before each match.

So this little tidbit about some of that homer-sex-tickle behavior goin' on between wrestlers just might be a little bit "woman scorned."

But the former Missus Hulk Hogan, Linda, was making the rounds trying to promote a book someone wrote for her, and she ended up on the Matty P radio show, where a caller asked about the rumor of the Hulkster carrying on an, um, well, intimate relationship with the homoerotically named Brutus Beefcake.

Linda Hogan: "Wow, I don’t know how to answer this, so I don’t end up getting a lawsuit, [but a] little bird told me, ‘Yes they think they did.’”

Well, very interesting. Or is it just Linda trying to slander her ex-husband's name for a few extra books sold.
Still.....Brutus Beefcake?
