Jayden: She just ran over a foot on this side.
Sean: Turned into a parked car on this side!

As you drool over those Kim Kardashian nude photos in Playboy, don't get the wrong idea:

This socialite with no discernible skills didn't pose that way for money or self-serving attention. Instead, Kim claims she was trying to set an example for women around the world.

"I did it because I'm not one of those stick-skinny girls you see. I felt like girls today need to see a normal body," she told The New York Daily News.

And, of course, they need to see it in all its bare glory within the pages of a men's magazine.

Next, Tila Tequila will say she posed in the publication to act as a role model to women with fake breasts who make a lot of friends on MySpace.

Kardashian also said her mother pushed her to do the shoot.

"My mom actually pushed me to do it! I think she's living vicariously through me a little bit," Kim said.

Hulk Hogan has seen better days.

First, his son - Nick Bollea/Nick Hogan - critically injured a close friend in a high speed car chase.

Now, Linda Hogan has filed for divorce after 24 years of marriage to the former WWE star.

Linda shocked her husband by filing divorce papers Tuesday in Pinellas County, records show. According to the St. Petersburg Times, a reporter reportedly broke the news to Hogan on Friday night.

He thanked the reporter for the "great information" - obviously taken aback - then called back five minutes later to say:

"I'm kind of shocked. You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks... Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me... I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here."

We wonder how Brooke Hogan took the news.

Looks like Brad Womack knew exactly what he was doing.

By choosing neither Deanna Pappas nor Jenni Croft, Womack avoided the fate of another Bachelor from ABC's pathetic reality series.

Indeed, Byron Velvick, the season six star of The Bachelor, was attacked by Mary Delgado earlier this week. Who is she? Merely the woman he picked to marry on the show.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department, Delgado was arrested for punching Byron, bloodying his upper lip. TMZ reports she was charged with domestic battery.

The incident occurred Wednesday just after midnight and police say alcohol was a factor. We say the state of mind of any woman that appears on this degrading reality show is a factor.

Trying to stay shaded from a celebrity news flashbulb storm, Britney Spears got a hand from actor, waiter and reported boyfriend, Michael Marchand, on Tuesday after dining at the Los Angeles restaurant Mirabelle, where he supposedly works ...

Britney Spears: Possibly dating Michael Marchand (left).

Whether Britney has "totally fallen for" Michael Marchand as Life & Style reported on Wednesday remains to be seen. But they are definitely hanging out. Looks as though this guy has big time Isaac Cohen or maybe even J.R. Rotem potential!

Move over, Reg Jones. You are so 1996. This is 2007.

Britney Spears reportedly went out for a late night dinner on Tuesday night to Mirabella restaurant in Los Angeles... to visit her (gasp!) new boyfriend!

His name, according to Life & Style: Michael Marchand.

The magazine claims the two have been quietly dating for a few weeks and are slowly going public. We're not sure when the last time Britney Spears did anything quietly was, but maybe this Michael Marchand story is legit.

An eyewitness tells Life & Style:

"Michael Marchand came a little after midnight, and Britney Spears came in right after. They were being discreet. Forty-five minutes later, they left the restaurant together. He was charming. He made Britney laugh and looked at her with this secret smile. They left in separate cars."

Is Michael Marchand Britney Spears' boy toy of the week?

Apparently Britney "instantly fell" for Marchand at Mirabella when she ate there in early November. Say the source close to the waiter: "Their chemistry was immediate. He's very turned on by her."

Aren't we all, Michael Marchand. Aren't we all.

Since then, the two have had at least one date at Britney Spears' mansion. "They're always texting each other," says the insider.

Maybe it was this guy she was texting last week ... while driving!

When Life & Style asked him about their romance, he said, smiling, "I can't talk about that right now." Your 15 minutes have begun, sir.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at The Hollywood Gossip. What would this traditional holiday be without family, friends, food, football and reflection upon some of the things we most appreciate in our lives.

For this celebrity news site, that means expressing thanks to some of the biggest turkeys we've come to know this past year. Below is a look at our staff's Top 10 (take a wild guess who was voted our Biggest Turkey of the Year) ...

10. Riley Giles. Not only does he give Lindsay Lohan a good stuffing, this clown is a meathead to the max. See mug shots. Yeah. Prime turkey material.

9. John Mayer. Makes the list in spite (or perhaps because) of the fact that he dates Minka Kelly. Guy's dome is also roughly the size of Plymouth Rock.

8. Michael Vick. Oh, wait, he's a dog.

7. Jan Adams. Worst. Doctor. Ever.

6. Brad Womack. Worst. Bachelor. Ever.

5. Dancing with the Stars judges. These losers really dropped the ball this season with some dubious decisions. Sabrina Bryan was robbed worse than Native Americans by the New World's European settlers. Close, anyway.

4. Spencer Pratt. The Hills villain sure can gobble up publicity.

3. Heather Mills. Imagine the kind of Thanksgiving feast you could throw after gold-digging your way to more than $50M of your ex-husband's fortune!

2. Blake Fielder-Civil. Raging alcoholism. Massive quantities of hard ass drugs. The surprise wedding. The bloody melee. A barroom brawl. Some witness tampering. This holiday, Amy Winehouse's husband should be thankful he's alive.

Fnally, The Hollywood Gossip's Biggest Turkey of the Year award goes to ...

1. Britney Spears. Talk about a foregone conclusion. Like the New England Patriots of the NFL, it was Britney Spears in her own league and everyone else playing for second. We raise a turkey leg (and some pork rinds) to you, Brit.

Just as Kelly Taylor came a long way over the years on Beverly Hills 90210, her portrayer came a long way this season on Dancing with the Stars.

Alas, the transformation of Jennie Garth from a shy beauty to a confident performer on the show wasn't enough to save her and partner Derek Hough: they were voted out last night.

"I feel like I've come so far in this," the actress. "And I'm so proud of myself â€" not that I'm gloating. But it was wonderful what Derek was able to do with me."

Hough said he thought they'd be exiting, pointing to the momentum Marie Osmond has been building over the last few weeks.

"We had an inkling that this was our week to go," he said after is became official. "You can't stop the juggernaut [Osmond], so we knew this was probably our time. But Jennie had two encore dances. She got a perfect score. She made it into the semifinals. You couldn't ask for a better run."

A highlight of the results show last night was a return to the dance floor of crowd favorites - and new love birds - Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas.

Tila Tequila is no Brad Womack.

While that Bachelor has scorned women everywhere by selecting neither Deanna Pappas nor Jenni Croft, Tequila swears she has found the love of her life after one season of filming A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

"I feel like I found love and right now don't feel like doing another season," Tequila told TV Guide in the magazine's December 2 issue. "If this relationship doesn't work out, then I'll definitely go back and look for love again. But right now I'm happy where I am, sitting in my sweatpants and looking at the sun outside."

Tila wouldn't go as far to say whether this individual was a man or a woman, of course. Both genders are vying for her affection on the dating show.

"We finished wrapping, and I definitely found love," Tequila continued. "But we can't be seen out together, so we only talk on the phone. It's pretty hard."

In closing, Tequila took a direct shot at another reality TV star seeking love:

"Sometimes I just want to scream at everybody and say, 'Shut the f**k up! But I'm not [VH1's I Love New York star Tiffany Pollard]. I have a little more class than that. So I let the contestants speak their peace."

Fans of High School Musical can fill up on all the turkey and stuffing they want this Thanksgiving - they won't be leaving their sofas very often this week anyway.

On Friday night, the Disney Channel will be showing the original movie that spawned the careers of Zac Efron, Vanesa Hudgens and company.

Then, at 8 p.m., the pop-up version of High School Musical 2 will premiere, complete with will on-screen trivia and secrets about the film (such as the lame original title of "You Are the Music in Me").

As for High School Musical 3, Ashley Tisdale recently said that rehearsals begin in February and filming starts in March.

Finally, High School Musical 2 will be released on DVD on December 11. Got all that, everyone?!?
