November 2007 Gossip Archive (Page 10)

Brooke Hogan is one of our favorite celebrities to mock.

When you wear chaps in public, sing worse than Heidi Montag and sell a whopping 127,000 copies of your debut CD, you're basically asking for perpetual ridicule.

But we'll give Brooke a break for the time being, considering the difficult times her family is facing. Nick Hogan might go to jail. Linda Hogan is filing for divorce. And Hulk Hogan hasn't been a WWE champion in years.

It's hard to blame a girl and her giant boobs for wanting to sun bathe the pain away...

As we reported last week, Mary Delgado beat the crap out of Byron Velvick. This season's finale of The Bachelor made fans want to do the same to its current star, Brad Womack, as well as ABC for blatantly misleading them.

ABC's promotional push for last Monday's season finale of The Bachelor has some viewers feeling they were duped hard, the N.Y. Daily News reports.

ABC promoted The Bachelor all week using a clip in which Brad Womack said he found the one. The clip was accompanied by the sound of a woman crying.

Based on the promo, die-hard viewers of the long-running series expected Brad found true love, or at least the reality TV show equivalent of it.

What they got was anything but.

After a week-long blitz of promos promising the "most shocking" rose ceremony in history, and a season of interviews in which Brad Womack himself proclaimed to be "very happy" with the outcome, and even clips of Womack picking out a freaking engagement ring, the 11th bachelor and ABC pulled a fast one.

He chose neither DeAnna Pappas or Jenni Croft.

Viewers felt like they were left at the altar by Brad Womack.

"I have been watching The Bachelor series from the very beginning ... but this is IT FOR ME!" wrote a frustrated fan on the show's message board.

"I cannot believe that ABC would air a program that ended this way when it was clearly nothing but lies and manipulation on Brad's part."

Hell hath no fury like a viewer scorned.

"I guess we got wrapped up in the fairy tale of it. Many of us used The Bachelor to believe," wrote another fan. "Unfortunately ... now none of us will believe again. Thanks, ABC, for breaking our hearts! Too bad Brad was the bachelor to do it."

Womack's blunder means, no insane, desperate woman on The Bachelor has ever married her man. Shocking. An ABC spokeswoman had no comment.

The Hollywood Gossip has obtained the mug shot of Mary Delgado, the winner of some older season of The Bachelor winner that starred Byron Velvick.

Mary Delgado beat up Byron Velvick on November 21 of this year.

The 40-year-old Delgado is 5'05," weighs 110 pounds and currently resides in Tampa, Florida, according to police documents obtained after her arrest.

The Mary Delgado mug shot: So seductive.

According to Pinellas County records, Delgado - a former Tampa Bay Bucs (NFL) cheerleader (Jenni Croft would be proud) who got "the final rose" from Velvick in 2004 - was taken into custody on misdemeanor battery charges.

The affidavit said she was also under the influence of alcohol at the time. Unlike what Brad Womack pulled on this year's finale, that's not a shock!

Another month, another beauty pageant scandal.

Unlike anything involving Tara Conner or Katie Rees, however, the latest has nothing to do with hot young women getting drunk and naked. Sorry, guys.

Over the weekend, Ingrid Marie Rivera overcame 29 rivals to become the Puerto Rico's 2008 Miss Universe contestant... despite applying makeup and wearing evening gowns that had been coated with pepper spray, according to pageant spokesman Harold Rosario.

While Rivera was composed while appearing before cameras and judges throughout the competition, she had to strip off her clothes and apply ice bags to her face and body - which swelled and broke out in hives twice - any time she went backstage.

"We thought at first it was an allergic reaction, or maybe nerves," Rosario said.

"But the second time, we knew it couldn't have been a coincidence."

Later, Rivera's clothing and makeup tested positive for pepper spray. Also, someone stole Rivera's bag containing her gowns, makeup and credit cards.

We wonder if Simon Monjack is a suspect.

If there's one thing we've learned in a year and a half in the celebrity news business, it is that Britney Spears and no pants go hand in hand.

If there's a second thing we have learned, it is that trying to make jokes about race can get you in a lot of trouble - right, Michael Richards?

Last night, outside of Hollywood hot spot Koi, alleged comedian Chelsea Handler tried to do the same thing and, like Kramer, failed miserably.

Handler was approached by two cameramen - one of whom was Chinese, and the other (from TMZ) was African-American. Chelsea quipped that it was "crazy that you guys all travel together, Asians and Blacks. That's amazing."

It sure is. It's also amazing that someone would say that.

Then, after a failed joke about Dog Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter), somehow a question about Britney Spears turned into Chelsea Handler commenting that the Chinese photographer in front of her was from "Vietcong-nam."

When it was pointed out that he was, in fact, Chinese, not Vietnamese, Chelsea Handler said, "Whatever." Yeah. That sort of "humor" never leads to trouble.

These latest pieces of celebrity gossip from the UK's News of the World are just too ridiculous for words, so much so that we couldn't bring ourselves to put it in our headline, lest you actually confuse it for real celebrity news.

The venerable publication is claiming, with no apparent sign of a practical joke - that Britney Spears is - just wait for it and let it sink in - adopting Chinese twins.

The twins are said to be six years old and Spears is hoping they will feel the void left by losing her l'il mistakes, Sean Preston and Jayden James, to K-Fed.

Oh, and that's not it. The News reports that Britney Spears is afraid she's going to die soon, so she's spending $50,000 to plan her funeral ... right now.

Britney Spears: Extremely sane and hot; Possibly dying soon.

"It doesn't seem that Britney has thought this through completely. Adoption and a funeral? The two don't exactly go hand-in-hand. Paying for a funeral is, of course, a sensible thing to do â€" but not when you're only 25," said a source.

Good point, source. Not to mention the fact that $50,000 is a paltry sum to spend on your own funeral... if you make $730,000 a month, anyway. Cheapskate.

Can you imagine if Britney really adopted Chinese twins? Ding dang, here come mah new Chi-niece babies y'all. Yee-haw! God help us. China? Rolling in grave.

Pete Wentz has a message for those hoping to see him get it on with a nude Ashlee Simpson on tape: keep dreaming!

(The Hollywood Gossip staff has a message for this same group: keep going to therapy!)

In a statement posted on Fall Out Boy's website, the musician denies the existence of a sex tape starring himself and his untalented girlfriend:

Just wanted to put the word out on the streets/the internet. there is no pete wentz sex tape in existence. About a year and a half ago I took part in an indie gore/horror short film as a favor to my friend nathan- called goodnight moon.

Either way im not into being an actor or having a sex tape either sooooooooo (sic), hopefully u can deal with it.

Looks like Wentz has gone to the Rosie O'Donnell school of spelling.

Nevertheless, we're glad this rumor isn't true. The idea of an Amy Fisher sex tape is disturbing enough.

The Hills' resident villain, Spencer Pratt, casts an evil glare at Harrison Ford as both whipped up Thanksgiving dinner as part of The Los Angeles Mission.

Just kidding. Even our man Spencer was too focused on an important cause to be scheming... at least at this moment. The L.A. Mission a non-profit organization serving the homeless people of the City of Angels. It's nice to see stars donating time and money to make the lives of the less fortunate a little brighter.

Spencer Pratt, Harrison Ford and others serve up Thanksgiving dinner.

Other good news to come out of this? Spencer Pratt can write on his website that he was mentioned in the same breath as Harrison Ford! Now that's a first.

The legendary actor, 65, is set to reprise his role as the title character in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which comes out in May 2008.

The star of The Hills and budding fashion designer, Lauren Conrad, has put on her guest designer hat again and released a new line of bags! OMG!

LC has released a new Linea Pelle Collection, and her designs are currently available online for order exclusively through LPcollection.com.

All handbags available in these colors: Dark Olive Green, Black, Espresso Brown. All items are for pre-order and will ship in December 2007.

Lauren Conrad designs: Just in time for the holidays!

"I love the bag because it holds so much and the leather is super soft," Lauren Conrad said. "It's available in 3 colors. There's also a clutch and a coin purse."

A brief rundown of what you can order:

1. Lauren Conrad Coin Purse ($45.00)
2. Lauren Conrad Tote ($350.00)
3. Lauren Conrad Clutch ($145.00)
4. Date with Lauren Conrad (priceless)

Sorry, we made up the last one. Guys can dream, right?

She's got a major supporter in Miley Cyrus, but singer and actress Hilary Duff played the role of fan last week as she cheered on her NHL hockey player beau, Mike Comrie, at the New York Islanders / New York Rangers game at New York City's Madison Square Garden last Sunday, November 19.

Hilary Duff: Cheering on the New York Islanders' Mike Comrie at MSG.

The Islanders won, 2-1, in a rough game featuring many skirmishes, including Rangers hothead Sean Avery (a reputed Mary-Kate Olsen / Elisha Cuthbert / Lake Bell boy toy) being punched in the head by Isles' goalie Rick DiPietro.
