July 2008 Gossip Archive (Page 9)

It was a week that began with love (for Playboy, from a current model) and ended with hate (for a former Playboy model, ironically). Here's a recap of some of the best celebrity quotes from the last few days...

Shanna Moakler [on Kim Kardashian]: She’s soooo f*cking fat! She’s 5′2″ and she’s like 140. She was wearing a sarong to cover her huge big ass.

Selena Gomez: The Jonas Brothers are all sweet. They're so amazing to me. They've become really good friends of mine, but I'm not dating any of them.

Camila Alves [on son, Levi]: Everybody thinks he looks like me because of the hair and skin tone. I think he looks more like Matthew every day.

Heidi Montag [on her clothing line, Heidiwood]: It’s selling really well. It’s one of the #1 selling celebrity clothing lines.

Vanessa Hudgens: I text Miley Cyrus a lot — we are good friends and she spent the night at my house recently. I text everybody on Earth!

Ashley Harkleroad: I was having a good time and trying to feel sexy in my own body; I think it worked. The pictures and the layout came out very classy. Playboy is a very classy operation all around.

... the morning after? Just saying.

We knew how hard they parlayed their ... well, themselves into lots of cash, but apparently Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt can a $12 million beach house.

A video of The Hills couple we love to hate going house hunting yesterday was thought to be nothing more than another shamless, staged publicity stunt.

They looked at two homes: the aforementioned $12 million beach house (also for rent, $90,000/month) and another with an asking price of $15 million.

Kidding themselves? Hardly. It turns out Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag can easily make such a purchase, meaning the apocalypse cannot be far off.

Spencer Pratt pimps his ho so well ... eight figures' worth, apparently.

Their realtor, Sandro Dazzan, says they are "serious buyers," and while he does not think they'll pull the trigger right away, he confirmed that they can afford the $12 million house right now, but may hold out for a bigger one.

Well, that settles that. And almost shames the paltry $2.2 million Hollywood villa purchased by Lauren Conrad.

Katherine Heigl stars on Grey's Anatomy.

At least until scorned writers murder her character.

In any case, she will always star in our fantasies at The Hollywood Gossip. But is this celebrity's fashion dreamy or just plain lame?

Trying to add some pop to her white slacks with a red-hot Krisa tank, the actress looked summer-ready for a day of errands in L.A.

But are you a fan? Tell us below ...

Katherine Heigl fashion: Love it or Shove it?

Shanna Moakler won't leave Kim Kardashian alone.

Despite a lack of proof - outside the fact that Kim was spotted wearing a shirt from Travis Barker's Famous Stars and Straps fashion line - Moakler is convinced that Kardashian slept with her ex-husband.

As part of her denial, the large-breasted reality TV star said Barker isn't dark enough for her, as Kim's past of dating Nick Cannon, Ray J and now Reggie Bush does prove she has a certain type. Moakler didn't accept this as an excuse, however.

Are you on Team Shanna or Team Kim?

"Come on Kim, let the truth be told! You have dated numerous white guys. Your quote saying that you are not into white guys is a sham -- not a SHIM [a she and a him] like you," Shanna said to The Dirty.

"How about you just be honest Kim and say, "Shanna, I'm sorry for f'n with your man!" It's that simple... then you can deal with the aftermath from Reggie, you know -- your man that you cheated on!"

These are bold accusations from Shanna Moakler. Can she back them up with anything aside from wild claims that she actually read emails detailing an affair between Kardashian and Barker? Until she does, two facts are on Kim's side:

1. Who the heck would sleep with Travis Barker?!?
2. Kim really does like black guys.

Jenny from the block is actually upper-middle class. Seriously, she's from a section of the Bronx that's about as poor as Jessica Simpson is smart.

But man, the way she used to dress? Ashley Dupre would be proud.

The news that Amy Adams was engaged to Darren Legallo wasn't met with much excitement this morning.

But celebrity gossip followers are abuzz with this wedding news: Diddy is set to marry Cassie Ventura!

"He told everyone to keep it extremely quiet because he didn't want it to get out, but you could tell he was excited," a source told Star. "Diddy said they hadn't set a date yet, but he wanted his family to hear the news first."

Cassie Ventura and Diddy are engaged. Congrats to the couple!

The hip-hop mogul met the 21-year old Cassie when he signed her up to his label, Bad Boy Records, in 2006.

About a year ago, Diddy ended his 10-year relationship with Kim Porter, the mother of his twins.

** Update: Diddy's rep is denying this rumor: "Contrary to tabloid reports, there is no engagement. This was a complete fabrication," he said.

The following question may be for difficult for fans of High School Musical, but no one said life would be easy.

With the third and final installment of this Disney franchise due in theaters in October, we need to know:

Following a spat at a Carmen Electra-hosted barbecue over the weekend, both Shanna Moakler and Kim Kardashian have issued statements.

Impressively - or disgracefully, depending on how you look at it - Moakler makes Kardashian look mature and grounded. First, a brief summary on the dispute:

Kim served as a model for Travis Barker's Famous Stars and Straps clothing line and was recently spotted out in a shirt from it. As a result of this gig - and, according to Moakler, a series of emails she was forwarded - Shanna thinks Kardashian was making a move on her married man. Got it?

Shanna Moakler is feuding with Kim Kardashian, but it's not over this dress!

This convoluted controversy set the stage for the aformentioned party, which saw Moakler throw a drink on Kardashian. As she relayed to The Dirty, Shanna was appalled that Kim was present, telling Reggie Bush that his girlfriend was a "whore" and adding:

"I seriously don’t understand, can someone explain to me why these men defend these girls who literally have a different tongue in them every night?! If your woman wants to f*ck married men and ruin families, you better expect a pissed of ex-wife is going to come out! It floors me when they’re so shocked and awed by this!"

Moakler also said Kardashian was fat and compared her to a donkey.
