Tragedy strikes!!!

Remember how Leona Helmsley willed a TON of her fortune to her little dog, Trouble, and to animal charities?

Well now a judge has decided to give only a tiny portion of the money to Trouble and the animal charities, AND they’re giving millions of dollars to the two grandchildren Leona intentionally left out of her will.

If I leave everything to my little Leo, I expect him to GET THAT MONEY, dammit!

Full story is here.

Oh, happy day! After Miss California was all like, “Well I miiiight be dating Michael Phelps, but I’m not telling because I’m a douchebag,” Phelpsy himself stepped in to deny the rumors. BAM! BITCH GOES DOWN!

“I’m not dating anybody,” he said Wednesday at the opening of the Omega flagship boutique in NYC. “I’m single. My private life stays private.”

And as for her answer to the gay marriage question?

“That’s the cool thing about America – everybody has their opinion,” he said. “I’m not saying I support her. I’m not saying I don’t support her.” Oh, come on, Phelpsy! You should openly support gay marriage! If someone wants to be legally wed to a size 14 penis, they should be granted that right, regardless of whether they’re man or woman.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump — who owns the Miss Universe organization — is finally weighing in on the controversy. “Miss California has done a wonderful job, that was her belief,” he said. “It wasn’t a bad answer, that was simply her belief.” Trump added that Prejean’s question was “a bit unlucky,” arguing that no matter how she answered the question “she was going to get killed.” Agreed.

As Wendie mentioned this morning, the rotting, hungover corpse of Lindsay Lohan appeared on Ellen Degeneres’ show today to talk about Samantha and the “rumors” about her life. Now we have the clips. Enjoy.

“I’ve never been addicted to any prescription drugs. I’ve never been drunk. I’ve worked my whole life.  I will not take those drugs.  And you can check my medical records. There is nothing like that. I was never on Oxycontin or Vicodin or anything like that. I was on nerve medicine and anti-inflammatories.”

Paula Abdul in a Nightline interview in which she defends her frequently erratic behavior.  Oh, and when Nightline did ask for consent to view her medical records, as per her offer, Paula declined.

Oh, boy.  The newest issue of In Touch has an interview with a dude named Marilyn who claims to have had a five-year relationship with Gavin Rossdale-Green Day singer and husband of Gwen Stefani.

With a happy marriage, two beautiful children and a romance that’s lasted more than 13 years, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have one of rock ’n’ roll’s most stable relationships. But Gavin wasn’t always the perfect family man he is today. Back in the ’80s, he was a wild child who wore black lipstick and partied until all hours at London’s underground clubs. And the most important relationship of his life may have been with another androgynous, hard-partying man. As In Touch has learned, Gavin had a long-standing secret love affair with Marilyn — a male rocker who looked remarkably like Gwen. “He was the love of my life,” Marilyn tells In Touch.

Though Boy George broke the news of Gavin, 43, and Marilyn’s tumultuous romance in his 1995 book, Take It Like a Man, Gavin denied it, stating, “I wasn’t dating Marilyn. We were, and still are, good friends.” At the time, Marilyn denied the affair, as well. But today he says he did it only because Gavin asked him to. “He was just becoming successful in America,” Marilyn explains. “I agreed to lie against every grain of my being.” Now, Marilyn wants to set the record straight. In an exclusive interview with In Touch, the British pop icon details the love affair that spanned the early ’80s. “We were together five years,” Marilyn says. “But it felt like 40.” (Gavin’s rep denies the story.)

Though Gavin’s rep may want to deny the story, the fact that Boy George already outed this relationship and now one of the two parties is ‘fessing up to it, I think it could be true.  It’s entirely possible that Gwen already knows that her husband is bi-sexual but it seems such a far departure from the simple kind of life she proclaimed to want.

UPDATE:  To all who felt so passionate about this that they had to email me, Bush…not Green Day.  I don’t even know who Green Day is or what recesses of my mind it came from but no matter what band he came from, it doesn’t change the fact that he allegedly boned a dude for five years.  Oh, and for the people who want to say I’m homophobic, my son is a show-tune loving, can-can dancing fool.  So I’m as about non-homophobic as they get, k?

Here’s a snapshot of helmetless Helena Bonham Carter tooling around London with her son, Billy Ray, and a friend.  I’d like to take a crack at this one.  How about “Note to person who told me I look like Helena Bonham Carter:  ‘Eff Off.’”
