Michaele Salahi: Stalked, Threatened, Living in Fear

Former White House pest and Bravo reality star Michaele Salahi claims that someone's been stalking her and making death threats in recent weeks.
Her husband, Tareq Salahi, even placed a frantic 911 call for her protection.
Maybe the stalker just wanted to see Michaele Salahi in Playboy and is pissed that this is no longer in the cards? We kid. Although you never know.

The Salahis say that the threat-maker called the Sheriff's Dept. in Fauquier County, Va., falsely claiming Tareq broke into a winery co-owned by Tareq's family.
Deputies tell us they found no evidence of a break-in, but were called backwhen Tareq and Michaele found out the call came from the alleged stalker.
The Salahis filed a police report and the case is now under investigation. The couple is also seeking to have a protective order put into place ASAP.
According to the Salahis, the man has also been tailing Michaele, shooting photos and video and also sending death threats and obscene messages.

Haley Reinhart Goes Rolling in the Deep

Matching efforts by James Durbin, Casey Abrams or even Lauren Alaina was a tall order for Haley Reinhart, who chose to sing Adele's "Rolling the Deep."
While choosing such a current hit is always a risk (especially a hit sung by, you know, Adele), Haley did her best to do it justice, vocally and emotionally.
Jennifer said there were moments where she did it better than Adele. We're not going that far, because it was far from perfect. But she held her own.
Watch Haley Reinhart do her thing here and vote below ...

Casey Abrams Does Maroon 5, Kisses Jennifer Lopez

Casey Abrams' rendition of "Harder to Breathe" by Maroon 5 was alright last night. He's got a little funk to him, enough to do Adam Levine justice out there.
The vocals were mediocre at times, but give him credit for not holding back on the performance. He ended the song right in front of J. Lo - and kissed her.
Steven approves. "You did what I've been trying to do for two months!" he said.
Jennifer Lopez actually blushed, too. "I loved it," she says. "The performance!"
Did you? Watch it below and vote on how it ranked among last night's efforts:

Lauren Alaina: Born to Fly on American Idol

Lauren Alaina sometimes holds something back on stage. Not last night.
It's true that, in covering Sara Evans' hit "Born to Fly," she stayed close to the original version. But it's a great country song to stick close to the original of.
Will she spread her wings and truly fly to new heights this season on Idol? If this performance is any indication, she's still scratching the surface of her talent:

Uprising: James Durbin Muses on American Idol

Last night on American Idol, James Durbin covered Muse, conjuring up images of Adam Lambert a few seasons ago. Durbin's song choice: "Uprising."
"I haven't gotten to show that I can be contemporary," he said, hoping to escape the metal/hard rock label. Suffice it to say, it worked and then some.
He's sounded better in the past. But he probably hasn't looked better.
The drums, the spinning cameras, the flashing lights and, of course, James' natural feel for performing sent the crowd and judges into hysterics.
After praising his cover of the Matthew Bellamy-led band, Steven made a crack about Durbin's wardrobe, telling James to stay out of his closet.
You are probably looking at the man to beat on American Idol ...

Adam Lambert with Facial Hair: Love It or Hate It?

The Broadway musical Sister Act premiered last night, as celebrities gathered on the red carpet for a performance based on a movie of the same name.
But one singer stood out from among the other stars lined up for photographers. That's what happens when Adam Lambert rocks a mustache and goatee.
Accompanied by friend Sauli Koskinen, the former American Idol finalist looked quite comfortable with the whiskers. But should he have? Study the look below and sound off now.

Demi Lovato Admits: I Have Bipolar Disorder

Demi Lovato is continuing to open up about her recent stint in rehab and the basis for her stay there.
First, the singer/actress admitted she's battled an eating disorder for years, later adding that she's cut herself since the age of 11 and is leaving Sonny with a Chance to battle these demons.

Now, the 18-year is opening up again to the public, making an admission to People: "I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar," she tells the magazine. "There were times when I was so manic, I was writing seven songs in one night and I'd be up until 5:30 in the morning."
Last week, Catherine Zeta-Jones sought professional help for the same disease, as Demi Tweeted her support of that star. She says she's taking positive steps in her life to turn things around.
"I feel like I am in control now where my whole life I wasn't in control... What's important for me now is to help others."

Rebecca Black Death Threats Lead to Police Probe

Playing Rebecca Black on repeat is enough to make you insane.
Still, some people take their animosity for the teen "singer" too far. Anaheim police are investigating two death threats made last month against Black.
The 13-year-old YouTube sensation whose "Friday" got her a legit manager and face time on many talk shows, apparently has enemies as well as fans.

"In essence, the threats were related to getting the music off the Internet or they were going to kill her," police spokesman Sgt. Rick Martinez said.
"We can't validate how serious they are, but we do take it seriously."
One Rebecca Black death threat was phoned in and another emailed, Martinez said, adding, "In the meantime, we are keeping an eye out for her."
"We are working together with the Anaheim Police Department to ensure Rebecca's safety at all times," added the teen's rep. Yes, she has a rep.

Lindsay Lohan: Whacked From Gotti Biopic!

Lindsay Lohan can't catch a break these days.
Despite rumors that she landed a role that could help resurrect her career, she was just "fired" as Victoria Gotti in Gotti: Three Generations.
LiLo wasn't officially on board, but was rumored to be starring in the biopic about John Gotti and his days running the Gambino crime family.

Doesn't look like this door is still ajar for Lindsay, either.

"I promise you Lindsay Lohan is not playing Victoria Gotti," producer Mark Fiore told E! News today. "Talks have stopped and we are done."
Fiore emphasized again that "We have no discussions with her."
Ouch! Apparently, the troubled star's management pushed for an offer that the producers COULD refuse. Quite easily, as it turned out ...
Despite being more of a liability than an asset, Lohan's camp was pushing for a big payday. More than they were willing to offer, apparently.
Her departure comes a week after she turned up at a press conference in New York to plug the project alongside castmember John Travolta.
Real-life members of Gotti's family - including Victoria herself, who said Lindsay had the toughness required for the part - were also there.
Lohan's casting was never official (she acknowledged they had yet to agree to a contract), but it certainly looked like a strong possibility.
We should've known better after the Inferno debacle. It's Lindsay Lohan. Between the probation and everything else, it's just not worth it.

Happy 4/20 From THG's Top 10 Celebrity Stoners!

It's 4/20, baby. You know what that means, right? THG does.
Well, sort of. The origins of 420 are hotly debated, but no matter where the term came from, people associate it with smoking massive amounts of weed!
As such, the 20th day of April has become a de facto holiday.
With that in mind, The Hollywood Gossip salutes 10 famous individuals who have been known to puff the herb from time to time. Some even inhale ...

Bill Clinton: I Never Inhaled

10. Bill Clinton. As President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton presided over the largest peacetime economic expansion in American history.

But boy, was he a terrible liar. The Lewinsky debacle was technically worse (what with perjury charges and all), but "I didn't inhale" was pretty legendary.

9. Jeff Bridges. He played The Dude! Enough said, really. But to further our argument for his inclusion, we suggest reading these Big Lebowski quotes.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Smoking a Joint

8. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Okay, so the only reason he's on this list is because of the above video. Watch it and you'll understand why pretty quickly.

7. Cheech & Chong. When your Wikipedia bio you're best known for routines "based on the hippie and free love era, and especially drug culture movements, most notably their love for cannabis," you're pretty much a lock for this list.

Zach Galifianakis Smokes Weed on Bill Maher

6a. Bill Maher and Zach Galifianakis. The latter truly blazed new trails on late-night TV Friday as he produced and lit a joint on HBO with the former.

6b. Woody Harrelson. Hippie loves the hemp. And we heeded your calls!

Seth Rogen & James Franco Smoke Weed at MTV Movie Awards

5. The entire cast of Pineapple Express. Classic weed films abound, but this Judd Apatow vehicle from the modern day stoner crew takes the cake.

We could debate for hours on end which alternate films could have been included here, but our brain cells are just too depleted to care at this point.

Besides, check out James Franco and Seth Rogen's classic MTV Movie Awards appearance. That's some serious dedication to the cause, people!

4. Michael Phelps. After absolutely smoking the competition in the 2008 Summer Olympics, the swimming legend made waves for ... well, see above.

You could say that Phelps took the most expensive hit ever, considering he lost at least one major sponsorship based on it. See what we did there?!

3. Willie Nelson. On 4/30, Nelson will turn 78, or approximately how many times he lights up per week. Hey, at least he's up front about it, unlike #10 on our list. Dude co-chairs the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws!

2. Snoop Dogg. Let's be blunt. If anyone here would roll up summa dat dank ass sticky-icky-icky and hook you up with some bubonic chronic right freaking now, it'd be Snoop D-O-Double-G. SMOKE WEED EVERY DAY! (RIP Nate Dogg).

Miley Cyrus Bong Video

1. Miley Cyrus. Okay, we realize it's unfair that the girl who tops our list wasn't even smoking marijuana, but rather a legal drug known as salvia.

Nevertheless, "Miley Cyrus bong video" was the top search term on THG for weeks on end. Eat your Mary Jane-loving hearts out, Snoop and Willie.

Tim Hetherington, Restrepo Director, Killed in Libya

Documentary filmmaker Tim Hetherington, a 2011 Oscar nominee who directed the acclaimed Afghanistan war film Restrepo, was killed today in Libya.
The veteran correspondent was only 41 years old.
Hetherington died in the Libyan city of Misurat Three photographers working in alongside him chronicling the Libyan civil conflict, were also injured.
One, Chris Hondros, reportedly suffered a critical brain wound. Guy Martin, who was with Hondros and Hetherington, is said to be in "grave" condition.

The British-born Hetherington found great critical success with Restrepo, which he co-directed alongside frequent journalist collaborator Sebastian Junger.
The Oscar-nominated film followed American soldiers in Afghanistan's deadly Korengal Valley, known as the deadliest valley in the war zone.
The film was widely critically praised and took the Grand Jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. It earned an Oscar nomination for best documentary.
While details are still emerging as to exactly what happened, Reuters reported that Hetherington and his group were attacked by fatal mortar fire.

"Sad news Tim Hetherington died in Misrata now when covering the front line. Chris Hondros is in a serious status," wrote fellow photographer and close, longtime Hetherington friend André Liohn on Facebook page.
Just hours earlier, Hetherington had personally posted what turned out to be his final, foreboding Twitter message: "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."
Our thoughts go out to his family and friends and to all the victims of uprisings throughout the world. We can only hope for a peaceful resolution, and soon.

Brooke Mueller: Rehab By Day, Mom By Night!

It's not exactly conventional, but Brooke Mueller's arrangement - drug rehab during the day and taking care of her kids at night - does the job.
At least a judge felt that way when denying Charlie Sheen's bid for full custody of their children and leaving their custody agreement in place.
The custody judge ruled she's still able to take care of her twins per the deal struck with Sheen - with help from an army of nannies, of course.

The judge did make one change in the agreement. Both Brooke and Charlie must submit to random drug testing weekly, more frequently than before.
Also factoring into the decision not to award full custody to Sheen? The fact that we're talking about Charlie Sheen here. Brooke has a lot of leeway.
Judge Hank Goldberg was well aware Brooke had relapsed, but was equally disturbed by Charlie's drug abuse and the fact that he brags about it.
Goldberg also felt Charlie's parenting skills - or lack thereof - did not warrant a change. Brooke's lawyers raised issues of domestic violence, too.
From what we can tell, no new allegations were made against the actor, although you don't have to look too far back in order to find some.

JWoww Accused of Attacking Tom Lippolis With Knife, Fireplace Poker in Drunken Fight

Tom Lippolis is doing everything he can to tarnish JWoww's reputation.

First, he relentlessly tried to hawk pics of JWoww nude, only to be turned aside by a court order. Now he's accusing the Jersey Shore star of attacking him.

Not a kind of standard, run-of-the-mill attack like when she beats down Sammi in Seaside Heights, either. He's talking drunken knife-fight style!

Tom alleges that on March 6, 2010, J-Woww got furious at him for taking a picture with a girl, and the argument escalated quickly and violently.

“Jenni was screaming really hateful remarks,” he says. “She told me, ‘You’re a jerk and you’re an a**hole!’ We were screaming at each other.”

From there, Tom says that JWoww - who's now dating Roger Williams - grabbed a “short steak knife,” and she STABBED him in the arm!

“My wounds resembled something out of one of those surgery TV shows - muscle completely cut and just hanging out of my skin,” he says.

He alleges that after he cleaned himself up, he ran into JWoww once more, only to have the large-breasted one come after him again!

“Jenni was holding the knife, with blood dripping off of it, in one hand and swinging a fireplace poker at me with the other," he recalls.

"I still have a hole in my elbow from where she impaled me.”

Tom says when he returned from the hospital, J-Woww didn’t even apologize. As for why he didn't call the cops after this alleged attack?

“She basically told me that I made her do it," he claims. "I should've gone to the police, but I wanted to guard her for some odd reason."

"I didn’t want to get her in trouble.”

Anybody believe Tom Lippolis' claims?

Don't get us wrong, JWoww coming at him with a red hot poker is something we can picture, but it seems far-fetched that it really happened.

Winklevoss Twins File New Appeal Against Mark Zuckerberg, Allege IMs Prove Facebook Fraud

Despite losing their appeal, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are STILL going after Mark Zuckerberg, saying he and Facebook ruthlessly defrauded them.
The Winkelevoss twins are not giving up on their claims against Zuckerberg and the social networking site, which they claim was there idea originally.
They point to two damning IMs as proof that Zuck f*%ked them.

Zuckerberg and Facebook settled with the genetic freaks for $65 million, but they've been trying to undo the deal, on grounds of fraud, to obtain more.
The Winklevii want a federal appellate court to reexamine their settlement with Facebook, acknowledge that the IMs are proof of fraud and nullify it.
Tyler and Cameron claim Facebook intentionally withheld messages sent by Mark saying, "Yeah, I'm going to f**k them ... probably in the [ear]."
In another IM, Zuckerberg allegedly told a friend:
"But [the twins] made a mistake haha. They asked me to make it for them. So I'm like delaying it so it won't be ready until after the facebook comes out."
Maybe The Social Network was more accurate than we thought ...

Matthew Bellamy: How He Won Kate Hudson's Heart

When the story first broke about Matthew Bellamy getting Kate Hudson pregnant, many people did not know who he was, or that they were even together.

Now, Hudson herself has opened up about their love story, including sharing how they met and offering a peek into what led to a surprise pregnancy.

"You always hear people say, 'I never thought this would be the person I would end up with,' but I don't think you ever really know," the star says.

Of the musician (he's Muse's frontman), she says, "I love that Matthew knows how to express himself. He shows his love. He communicates."

She was watching Radiohead's Thom Yorke - also a rumored boyfriend of hers back in the day - with a guy from high school when they met.

"We realized that we had met a few years earlier, in Australia. Then I got distracted and said, 'I've got to find my friends; I don't know where they went.' He just looked at me and said, 'Come on, I'll take care of you.'"

"That's when I went, 'Wait a minute, who are you?'"

Bellamy eventually asked Hudson for her number, and the rest, as they say, is history. But what kept her so interested in those early days?

"Matthew was polite and immediately protective, which for somebody like me who's all over the place – one minute I'm over here and the next I'm over there – is important." Plus, she adds, "He is just an amazing person."

That said, Hudson didn't feel he was "the one."

"In the beginning I felt like, okay, this is going to be heavy. Am I prepared for this? Because it had been a while, and I wasn't looking for that," she says.

"But I just couldn't stay away. I wanted to talk to him and be with him all the time. On our first dates we would take long walks and talk the entire day."

Soon enough they were in love – and, says Hudson, pregnancy seemed a natural progression, even though it wasn't exactly what you'd call planned.

"Well, it wasn't like we didn't know what we were doing," says Husdon. "There were no ovulation kits involved. We were tempting fate, and it worked."

Hudson, who has a 7-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson: "I didn't think I was going to have another kid until I was maybe 33."

"That was in the back of my mind before I met Matthew. But we were so in love when it happened, it was just so exciting for both of us."

Report: Emma Roberts, Chord Overstreet Hook Up!

Hookup alert! Scream 4 star Emma Roberts and Glee star Chord Overstreet looked like quite the couple at Coachella on Saturday, Us reports.
The made out, a witness says, and "couldn't keep their hands off each other!"
Roberts once dated bad boy Alex Pettyfer, 21; Overstreet has been linked to Taylor Swift, 21, and Glee costar Naya Rivera, 24, in the past.

Oh, and as the party neared its end, Roberts and Overstreet were just getting started. "They were talking about heading to a hotel pool!" a source says.
Things cooled things down the next day at Coachella: "She was leaning into him," a witness reports, "but he seemed way more interested in his food."
So, there you have that. Make of it what you will. You know who else was looking SMOLDERING at Coachella, on a side note? The Sexy Sax Man, Sergio Flores!

Lady Gaga: I'm Not Full of $h!t. You?

In next month's NME magazine, the British music magazine asked if Lady Gaga is a “freak or fraud” and mused about her true legitimacy as an artist.

Gaga tells the magazine that she is nothing if not sincere in what she says and does, and while she has achieved great success, she’s never satisified.

She's also dressed in a sheer, zip-up body suit fondling her own breasts on the cover. Pretty standard as Lady Gaga pictures go. Take a look:

“I am perpetually unhappy with what I create. Even though I might tell you that ‘Edge of Glory’ is a pop masterpiece, when it’s all said and finished there will be things I dread, and every time I listen to it I’ll hear them," she continues.

"The worst mistake I could have made was not putting out Born This Way as the first record. It’s completely balls-to-the-wall, love-it-or-hate-it... Get in or get off the f*%king boat. I gained a lot of new fans.”

On the music video for her new song "Judas," she promises a blend of “motorbikes, death and, in the final seconds, a strong spoken word sequence about Gaga being beyond repentance.” So there you go. Listen to the song here:

Lady Gaga - Judas

Shayne Lamas Pregnant, Nik Richie Responsible

Shayne Lamas and Nik Richie are expecting their first child!

"The Lamas-Richie family is happy, healthy and definitely pregnant," said Shayne, who got engaged to Matt Grant on The Bachelor and was together with him for at least a couple of days after that, in a statement late yesterday.

Just a couple of hours earlier, Richie had teased on Twitter: "Working on a beautiful new project in my life and I can't wait to show the world. Soon."

Now we know what she was working on. Shayne.

Within hours of meeting one another in April 2010, Lamas and Richi, co-founder of celebrity gossip site TheDirty (dot) com, wed in Las Vegas.

Hey, at least they waited an eternity to start a family by their standards. Way to take it slow guys. Congratulations to Nik and Shayne Lamas.

Groundskeeper Crushed By Tarp at Royals Game

And you thought YOU were having a crappy day at work!
The headline above speaks for itself. So wrong, yet ...

Tarp Rolls Over Poor Sap

Courteney Cox: Marriage to David Arquette Was a Real Grindr

Courteney Cox is continuing her super frank comments about David Arquette since their marriage ended, which she blames in part on his persistent bonage.

Her latest revelation? Thinking he had a gay men-seeking iPhone app.

Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Cox described a recent discovery that had her wondering whether Arquette might be harboring a pretty big secret.

As she was buying songs on iTunes, the Scream 4 actress was perusing the purchase history of the iTunes account she and Arquette used to share.

She noticed someone had downloaded a slew of self-help books by author Eckhart Tolle - plus the iPhone app Grindr, used by gay men to meet others.

Cox was taken aback, she said: "Wow, what if you don't know the person you've been with for that long? [I wondered] if David's been buying Grindr!"

"I called up my assistant, who happens to be gay," Cox explained, and that cleared it all up. In fact, he downloaded the app (for free) on the acccount.

While Cox has been more than forthright, Arquette recently said he's getting increasingly "sick" of talking about their marital struggles all the time.

"All of this started because there are lies out there, and I wanted to be honest and speak my mind," said the actor, who already went to rehab.

Lauren Conrad Launches The Beauty Department

Lauren Conrad is launching a site called The Beauty Department. She certainly knows a thing or two about that department, so it sounds like a nice fit.
TheBeautyDepartment (dot) com is a collaboration between the former star of The Hills, her hairstylist and makeup artist, Kristen Ess and Amy Nadine.
After the news broke this February about her new reality show getting the boot, it's nice to see that LC has taken her expertise to a different medium.

BEAUTY, INC.: We'd hire LC as the CEO of that corporation.

Report: Emily Maynard and Brad Womack Break Up!

It's over, Emily Maynard told Brad Womack on the phone.

That's what Life & Style reports about an April 9 conversation between The Bachelor couple, after she just couldn't imagine marrying the guy.

"Emily told Brad that she can't picture them getting married," an insider reveals to Life & Style. "Brad's not acting like a fiancé, and she knows that he's not going to change. Emily knows in her heart of hearts that the relationship is finished."

Emily Maynard "was very close to moving to Austin with her daughter, Ricki, just a few weeks ago, but that's not true anymore," the insider says.

In fact, Brad put an offer on a new home without consulting Emily Maynard first: "This isn't the behavior of someone who plans to be with her."

The reason for the split stemmed from Brad's hurtful and erratic behavior, L&S says, and the fact that Emily became fearful he was cheating.

"Brad seemed very complacent all of a sudden," says the insider.

"He did everything he could to woo and charm Emily on the show, and then it just slowed. Emily knows he likes Texas, he likes his bars and booze, so she's just wondering if he likes someone else. It started to really worry Emily."

"She felt like, 'If he's not wanting to see her, who is he with?'"

So why hasn't Emily simply announced a split? Her contract with ABC prevents her from speaking out about the relationship without ABC's green light.

ABC called her on April 13 specifically to remind her of that.

Though the network can't force them together, a source says they encouraged Emily to try to work things out with Brad Womack. You know, if she can.

Still, the engagement ring is reportedly off, as is the wedding.

Not sure if this story is true or not, since it comes to us courtesy of Life & Freaking Style, but at the same time, would it surprise us? Not particularly.

Demi Lovato to Leave Sonny With a Chance

Demi Lovato is leaving Sonny With a Chance, the show that's made her a star on the Disney Channel. She'll instead focus on her pop career - and recovery.
Given the actress sought treatment recently for "physical and emotional issues," and confessed to cutting herself since age 11, a change might do her good.
"It made sense for me to go ahead and leave the show to focus on my music," Lovato tells People. "It's sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended."
"However, there couldn't be a better time for me to move on."

The "nervous breakdown" she suffered last October while touring with the Jonas Brothers - an episode that led her to check into rehab is still fresh in her mind.
"I don't think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery," admitted the 18-year-old actress. "Being in front of a camera would make me nervous."
In a frank interview with ABC's Good Morning America and 20/20 set to air Friday, Lovato acknowledges a lifelong struggle with an eating disorder and cutting.
Hopefully she continues to get the help she needs to live a happier and healthier life, and moving on from Sonny With a Chance is the best means to do so.

Jennifer Del Rio, 16 and Pregnant Star, Accused of Slugging Baby Daddy Josh Smith

Move over, Jenelle Evans. One of the cast members on 16 & Pregnant was paid a visit by cops yesterday after allegedly socking her baby daddy in the face.
Officials in Hillsborough County, Fla., responded to a battery call at the home of 19-year-old Josh Smith after Jennifer Del Rio, 17, allegedly came after him.
Smith told the police that he was trying to break things off with Jennifer when she became "irate" and "punched him in the face and pulled on his shirt."

Smith says he eventually pushed Del Rio away in self-defense.

Not good for the couple, who aren't exactly strangers to this behavior.
Smith was arrested back in November for allegedly attacking HER and was ordered to complete a domestic violence program. So they've got issues.
Sounds a little like Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley redux, no?

Donald Trump to George Stephanopoulos: You're Co-Opted By Obama Minions!

Things got awfully heated on Good Morning America yesterday as Donald Trump discussed his potential presidential run with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

In short, George took him to task and the Donald didn't appreciate it.

Stephanopoulos mentioned that some Republican heavyweights call him a “flawed messenger for the party” and “a joke candidate.” Why do they think this?

By continuing to question President Obama’s birth certificate and citizenship. Trump replied by ... going off about Obama's citizenship. You gotta see this:

Donald Trump GMA Interview

As the two men argued back and forth on the topic, an increasingly agitated Trump accused George of being “co-opted” by the President and his “minions.”

He stressed that the "birther" issue is “not a big focus of my campaign.” Kind of hard to believe, since he brought it up again, and again later in the interview.

Stephanopoulos asked if he would release tax returns. “Maybe I’ll do the tax returns when Obama does his birth certificate,” the real estate mogul replied.

Will Michael Jackson Rehearsal Footage Prove or Disprove Conrad Murray Defense Theory?

Video of Michael Jackson's last two rehearsals for his 2009 "This Is It" tour could be played in court during Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial.
The L.A. County District Attorney filed a motion today asking the judge to allow the rehearsal footage from June 23-24 to be entered as evidence.
The D.A. believes the footage supports the testimony from "This Is It" director Kenny Ortega that Michael was "happy and excited for the future."

Michael Jackson Tour Rehearsal

It also opposes the defense's theory that after the last rehearsal, MJ became desperate and "took desperate measures that caused his own death."
The D.A. also filed a motion to allow limited photos from MJ's autopsy, claiming the pictures are not gory or gruesome and won't prejudice a jury.

Warren G Releases Tribute to Nate Dogg

The Regualtors are mounting up one last time.
In the early '90s, Warren G and Nate Dogg produced one of the most memorable hip hop hits in history. Now the former is releasing a tribute to his fallen comrade.
Nate Dogg died last month at the age of 41, but his smooth vocal collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre and, of course, Warren G, will always live on.
Listen to Warren's tribute song to Nate here:

American Idol Power Rankings: Scotty in Front, Stefano in Back

With the top seven on tap to perform tonight, THG's American Idol Power Rankings break down who we like this week and who we think is likely to go home.

Of course, who we think leads the pack means very little in the end (you can askPia Toscano), but it's still fun to try our hand at predicting the reality competition.

Take a look at how we size up the field and see if you agree:

1. Scotty McCreery. Kind of a sleeper favorite. He should go country this week and go far this spring, though. Take it to the bank (NOTE: don't, actually).

2. James Durbin. We were willing to give metal a chance, and if nothing else, JD keeps things lively and energetic out there. A lock for the final three?

3. Lauren Alaina. Even in a year that saw the women knocked off one by one, Lauren hasn't even been in the bottom three ONCE! We just jinxed it ...

4. Casey Abrams. We've learned never to count out the Ace of Bass.

5. Haley Reinhart. Her rendition of Blondie's ''Call Me'' didn't inspire too many voters to do just that (although she's still around). But she's got the vocals, and there are two guys below her in these rankings she can easily outlast ...

6. Jacob Lusk. Every performance feels the same to us, and a little stale at that. Will he finally fizzle out, or step it up and make a push to win this?

7. Stefano Langone. He's been our pick to go home, oh, every week that we can remember. Again, shows what we know, but he can't really sing, and at some point America has to get sick of these cheesy ballads? Right? Anyone?

Dancing With the Stars Results: Did Kendra Survive?

It was anybody's game after Monday's Dancing With the Stars performances.
Those even scores also meant that everyone was at risk to be sent packing.
Three couples - Kendra Wilkinson and Louis van Amstel, Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff and Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplan - were tied at the bottom.
Justifiably, one of the aforementioned three pairs is now gone ...

Follow the jump to see who stayed and who's outta here ...

Petra Nemcova was eliminated on this week's results show.
"It's been a life-changing journey," she said after the decision, "I've made amazing friends. So many people got inspired because of Dancing with the Stars."
Interestingly, Kendra and Ralph were never even at risk.
The supermodel and her partner were joined in the bottom three Tuesday by Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke and Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Also last night, DWTS announced that Mark Ballas and Pia Toscano, ousted American Idol contestant and his rumored girlfriend will perform this season!
