Jean Paul Gaultier Pays Homage to Amy Winehouse at Fashion Show; Family Rages on Twitter

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier paid homage to Amy Winehouse's unique style at his Paris runway show earlier this week. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?

Wrong, if you're the late singer's father, Mitch Winehouse.

"We don't support the Jean Paul Galtier [sic] collection. It is in poor taste," the elder Winehouse tweeted, incensed at his daughter's image being used to sell clothes.

"The family was upset to see those pictures. They were a total shock," he told The Sun.

"We're still grieving, and we've had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy's death." Mitch said Gaultier's show portrayed "a view of Amy when she was not at her best, [glamorizing] some of the more upsetting times in her life."

Mitch felt it inappropriate to try and cash in on his daughter's legacy.

"To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on. We're proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste."

He wasn't the only harsh critic of the celebrity fashion designer.

Kelly Osbourne, a close friend of Amy Winehouse, also Tweeted in response: "Although @JPGaultier was paying homage to my friend and icon to the world, I found it to be lucratively selfish and distasteful. Exploitation=evil."

Vanessa Bryant and Lisa Gastineau Rumored for The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Camille Grammer out? Vanessa Bryant and Lisa Gastineau in?

With rumors of one cast member not being invited back for season three of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we can now report on the rumors going around of who might replace her; namely, a pair of real former athlete wives.

According to The Huffington Post, producers are wooing Bryant, who recently split from some shooting guard on the Los Angeles Lakers; and Lisa, who divorced NFL linebacker Mark Gastineau in 1991 and starred alongside her daughter on E!'s Gastineau Girls a few years ago.

Said one insider of Bryant: "She is now single and free and doesn't ever have to worry about earning another dollar in her life, so she can focus on what makes the show so much fun: herself," while the same sources added of Lisa:

"She is the example of how not to get divorces. She has a wonderful life but works very hard to pay her bills and would love to find love again."

Bravo may need to compete with another cable network for Vanessa's services, however: VH1 is courting her for Basketball Wives.

Jon Gosselin and Ellen Ross: It's Over!

Jon Gosselin and Ellen Ross have split up after nearly two years together.

It's unclear exactly why the ex-husband of Kate Gosselin split with his lady friend, but reports say Ellen's distaste for the media was the final straw.

"Ellen didn't like the media attention and other things that came with the relationship," a source said. "That's one of the main reasons they broke up."

Wait ... we still pay attention to Jon Gosselin? Besides right now? Who knew!

According to an insider, the twosome broke up more than a week ago, but it wasn't until Friday that Jon Gosselin confirmed the breakup on Twitter:

"Recently, after much thought and discussion, Ellen and I have decided to end our relationship. It was a mutual decision and we are both happy."

"We will remain best friends. We both plan to move forward and focus on our separate lives. We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time."

So far, no word from Ellen Ross personally, except a denial earlier this week that was debunked when Jon spilled the beans on Twitter. Whoops.

Kourtney & Kim Take New York Finale Preview: The Fairy Tale Ends...

Cue the drama music, listen to the serious voiceover and get the tissues ready, folks: the fairy tale is about to end for Kim Kardashian.

On this Sunday's finale of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Kim will finally face the harsh truth about her two-month marriage to Kris Humphries.

"It's hard for me. He's a good heart, he's a Christian - everything on paper I want in someone, but for some reason, my heart isn't connecting," she tells Kourtney. "I feel sad, I feel bad for the guy. He fell in love with me and I fell in love with him and now all my feelings have changed."

It's truly emotional stuff, but at least there's positive news for fans of Kim Kardashian: she won't be off the air for long. Look for the reality star to appear on multiple episodes of Drop Dead Diva this summer, for some reason.

Is Oprah Really Blue Ivy's Godmother?

Some reports surfaced earlier this week that none other than Oprah is the godmother of Beyonce and Jay-Z's newborn baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter. But is it true?

It is not. Oprah is not the godmother.

She may be a fairy godmother in a non-official sense - she did send baby Blue an entire trunk full of books already - but she hasn't been given any title.

Winfrey's BFF Gayle King said: "Let me just say, if [this] is true, it is news to her. You know, she was heading to South Africa when the baby was born."

A separate source close to the power couple's camp also tells E! News that this is not true, and that Media Takeout was wrong (in a stunning revelation).

Again, no need to worry, though, as Oprah's close to Beyonce and Jay-Z, so Blue Ivy should still get first dibs on Winfrey's annual Favorite Things list.

YOU get a gold-plated stroller!!!

Monica Spannbauer, Bachelor Castoff, Takes Shot at Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson

Monica Spannbauer, The Bachelor's most recent castoff, says star Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are a perfect match. Aww. So nice to say, right?

No. She means that quite negatively.

"I absolutely think she's wrong for Ben, but the more I watch - obviously I don't get to see everything that happens - they deserve each other," she said.

Courtney Robertson, who's like a model, has made a nasty habit of hating on other girls while pursuing Ben. And saying "winning" like a complete tool.

Monica Spannbauer, who ruffled a few feathers herself in The Bachelor house, says she had no beef with Court personally ... but is still not a fan. At all.

"Courtney isn't a very nice person and I think she deserves everything that's coming toward her," Monica said, ominously. "Hands down, I think she's somebody different around other women and somebody different around a man."

Spannbauer also had a nice parting shot for Ben Flajnik.

"Courtney is really manipulative and good at what she does. Clearly that's the kind of girl Ben's looking for ... If they end up together, they deserve each other, because if he's that shallow and she's that manipulative, then they totally work."

Meow!! You tell us ... Courtney Robertson:

That manipulative psycho b!tch is pure evil!
C'mon, she's misunderstood and unfairly edited!

Demi Moore 911 Call: This is an Emergency...

The 911 call made by a friend on behalf of Demi Moore this week has been released.

In it, a panicked woman grows frustrated with operators at the outset because there's confusion over which department will be sending the ambulance.

This is an emergency, the caller insists, going on to say Moore "smoked something similar to incense" and adding that she's "having convulsions of some sort."

The friend also describes Demi as "semi-conscious" and, at one point, says she's been experiencing "issues lately with some other stuff." Portions of the call have been redacted for medical/privacy reasons, but take a listen now:

A new report states that Moore has been addicted to Red Bull for years, though clearly that energy drink isn't the blame for this incident.

The 911 call, instead, lends credence to the nitrous oxide theory.

Greg Kelly Accuser Alleges: I Aborted Anchor's Baby

A new twist has emerged in the accusation of rape against Good Day New York anchor Greg Kelly:

According to The New York Post, the woman who went to the police on Tuesday and reported an October incident where Kelly sexually assaulted her also told the cops that the alleged rape resulted in a pregnancy. She said she later aborted the fetus.

Due to the internal conflict within the NYPD - Kelly is the son of Commissioner Raymond Kelly - the Manhattan District Attorney has been placed in charge of this investigation, with Kelly's lawyer expressing confidence that office will "prove Mr. Kelly’s innocence.”

The accuser is reported to be in her late 20s or early 30s and claims Kelly and her went back to the law office in which she works (though not as an attorney) on October 8, following drinks at South Street Seaport. That is where the alleged assault took place.

Sources say the two communicated after the incident took place, with some speculating it was due to the pregnancy.

A friend of the woman tells ABC News that the alleged victim has been “an emotional cripple” since the night in question.

Pink & Daughter Willow Wish Ellen Happy Birthday!

Cutest happy birthday greetings ever?

Darn close if not. Ellen DeGeneres celebrated her 54th on Thursday and to mark the big occasion, Pink sent in a video message to her friend the talk show host.

With daughter Willow in tow!

"Hi Ellen. I love you, I love you, I love you," she said from her yard. "I wish you this year freedom, love, laughter, sleeping in late, getting lots of rest."

From there, the singer went inside, where adorable 8-month-old daughter Willow (dad is husband Carey Hart) was waiting to say hello. Awww!

Cher: NOT Dead, Despite Twitter Hoax!

Cher is not dead. Not even a little bit.

The music legend, 65, became the latest notable name to fall victim to an Internet death hoax when “RIP Cher” became a Twitter trend late Thursday night.

The rumor apparently started when a user by the name @Lorraine_Star posted a BS tweet which was made to look like a re-tweet from CNN’s real account.

Plenty of regular people and idiot stars alike bought it.

The message, likely concocted just so people will re-tweet it, read: “RT @CNN: American recording artist Cher dies at 65 years old. Found dead in Malibu home.”

“Did I just hear Cher has passed away? Is this real? OMG,” Kim Kardashian tweeted, never one to sit back and not insert herself into anything trending.

Terrible matchmaker Patti Stanger of Millionaire Matchmaker fame was also quick to weigh in: “Is this for real? I don't see it anywhere. Can't be!”

Idiot Kim Tweet

Kim Kardashian is never one to refrain from Tweeting. Or use spellcheck.

While it's true that Cher hasn’t been active on her Twitter since January 22, her good friend, jewelry designer Loree Rodkin, set the record straight:

“Whoever started that stupid rumor needs to have their face dragged across concrete. It’s a hoax. She’s fine. She's so NOT dead. She's just a busy girl.”

Here's welcoming Cher - along with recent death hoax survivors Jackie Chan, Justin Bieber, Will Smith, Jim Carrey and Jon Bon Jovi - back from the fake dead!
