Over the first couple episodes of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Danielle Staub confessed to a two-year phone sex relationship with a man she'd never met; and offered a blow job to some random dude in a restaurant.

Both those developments pale in comparison to Staub's alleged past, which are just now coming to light.

As the show teased in its preview for next week's episode, this Real Housewife was not always a member of the Garden State's elite. She's reportedly mentioned in the 1995 book "Cop Without a Badge," a memoir penned by former FBI informant Kevin Maher.

Thanks to "Cop Without a Badge," the entire world now knows the history of Danielle Staub and her vadge.

According to this biography, Staub used to go by the name Beverly Merrill. She met Maher at a drug party in Miami in the 1980s. (He describes Staub/Merril as a "coke whore.")

The initial interaction between the pair came after she was released on $10,000 bail, following an arrest for her alleged involvement in the kidnapping of a man who owed her drug dealing friend money.

Paris Hilton and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt stopped sucking face long enough to make it to the FiFi Fragrance Awards last night in Manhattan.

The awards celebrated the international fragrance community, with presenters from the worlds of fashion, television, theater, and film.

Hilton and Reinhardt seemed to be behaving themselves, which was a nice change for the PDA duo.

Maybe the time in Cannes helped them relax, or maybe the fact that there was no boat for them to go make out in was enough to keep the two in check.

It's good to know that Paris is back in the States and making her way around Manhattan with Reinhardt on her arm, as opposed to up her skirt.

The following is great news for Kate Gosselin. She'll soon be able to write a book titled Love Is in No Longer in the Mix: How to Recover from a Failed Marriage Via a Series of Book Signings.

According to The National Enquirer, the marriage between Kate and her husband is over. A divorce is imminent.

“Jon said their goal is to be legally separated by July 15 because Kate wants to move on quickly,” a source said. "Jon is going to push for half of their money, but Kate is determined to hang on to as much as she can - and they’re worth more than you think.”

How much more?

The couple allegedly earned between $50-75,000 per episode of their show, while Kate takes in approximately $20,000 per speaking engagement. Moreover, let's not forget the hordes of free items that TLC has handed out to the family.

“Needless to say, there’s a small fortune at stake here, easily $10 million,” said an insider “And Jon and Kate will be fighting over it like cats and dogs!”

Or, to be accurate: Jon will be sitting quietly, stewing over the cash; while Kate will continually nag him about being greedy and lazy.

Despite pretty much falling off the planet since losing to Taylor Hicks on American Idol a few seasons ago, Katharine McPhee was overwhelmed by a pack of ravenous paparazzi while out and about in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Fortunately, the 25-year-old wife of Nick Cokas was rescued by a random homeless woman, Quween. It was apparently quite the spectacle.

As a result, FunnyOrDie.com has paired the celebrity with her unlikely savior in a faux infomercial promoting Quween's versatile services.

Celebrities from A-to-Z-list should not hesitate to consult this lunatic when it comes to all their pressing, paparazzi protection needs.

Would you want to mess with Quween?

Paris Hilton says her boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt, won't be appearing on MTV's The Hills again. She also thinks the reality series pretty much sucks, and knows a lot about it despite claiming she has never actually watched it.

"The show is, like, so lame and fake. He doesn't even want to be a part of it," the ho-tel heiress told Us Weekly at the Fifi Awards in New York.

Not that he had much of a choice, after The Hills' star, Lauren Conrad, dumped him on the show for being so effing boring. Details, right?

Doug Reinhardt then pursued Stephanie Pratt for reasons unknown to any straight male with a pulse, which pissed off LC and viewers alike.

But Hilton says the show portrayed Doug "in a way he's not."

Mmm. We give this statement about as much credence as Paris' tear-filled recollection of how her most "intimate moments" of night vision sex with Rick Salomon while on the phone were released to the public (making her rich and famous, natch).

"They make up relationships when they’re not there, and he just thinks it's lame," Hilton continued. "I've never seen the show in my entire life. I have no idea what it's about. But he just thought it was cheesy."

True ... it's not nearly hard core enough for Doug. The man likes public bathroom sex, for crying out loud. Dinner and drinks with LC ain't cutting it.

Reinhardt's reality days aren't entirely over, though. He will appear on the second season of Paris Hilton's My New BFF, which debuts June 2 on MTV.

"It was great," the tramp said. "He was always on set every single day, giving fun ideas. With him there, he always gave the most amazing ideas."

They actually hired him as a producer to be on BFF Dubai [Hilton filmed a version of her reality show there]. They loved his ideas so much."

We're not surprised. Doug Reinhardt's charm is quite breathtaking ... according to Doug Reinhardt, on the official website of Doug Reinhardt.

We've seen it all before, but a photo of Carla Bruni nude is expected to fetch a high price when it goes up for auction in Berlin, Germany, next week.

Only 10 copies exist of the risque image of the French First Lady taken by photographer Pamela Hanson in 1994, the height of Carla Bruni's modeling fame.

At the time, she was 26 and dating Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger.

What would Michelle Obama say about her fellow First Lady fashion icon?

The intimate, black-and-white, nude image of the 41-year-old wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy is 16' x 24' and entitled "Carla Bruni In Bed."

Though provocative, the latest picture is less revealing than the full-frontal photo of Carla Bruni naked which fetched a staggering £60,000 a year ago.

A nude sketch of the First Lady is also being sold in Paris next month as part of an exhibition of glamour girls called "Pin-Up." Certainly a worthy title!

Susan Boyle may not resemble a typical, spoiled celebrity. But is she starting to act like one?

According to Great Britain's The Sun, everyone's favorite Britain's Got Talent finalist dropped a series of F bombs during a pair of outbursts this week.

First, the singer was reportedly angered on Tuesday night by comments judge Piers Morgan made regarding rival contestant Shaheen Jafargholi, as he was praised for the "best singing performance we've seen so far."

According to the newspaper, Boyle - watching the show at a bar with Shaheen's friends - stood and screamed "f**k off" before storming out of the establishment.

"She got a bit annoyed when a busload of tourists asked for autographs and told them to wait until Shaheen had finished. She was smiling as Shaheen sang but afterwards, when Piers started praising him, Susan went nuts," said a witness. "She got up, did one of those strange wiggling dances that she does, and then stuck two fingers up at the TV. Then she marched off. We didn't see her again."

Susan Boyle, explaining an unpleasant run-in with strangers on Wednesday, has had a rough week.

Second, the police allegedly intervened yesterday after Boyle lost it in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London.

While it's unknown exactly what prompted her rage, onlookers say the Scottish singer screamed "How f***ing dare you! You can't f***ing talk to me like that," when approached by a couple individuals at the hotel.

Crying, Boyle exited the premises and was followed to the street by her family, the show's production staff and the cops. Said one officer to the burgeoning star:

"You are in the public eye, you must learn to expect this sort of thing."

The Britain's Got Talent finale airs this weekend. Might winning, and the subsequent fame that will follow, actually be a bad thing for Boyle?

Embattled music superstar Britney Spears appears to have gotten her $h!t together of late, at least in comparison to the Lost Years of 2005-2007.

Embarking on a successful worldwide Circus tour, staying out of the psych ward and taking the kids on vacation in the Bahamas - life's going well.

There are still glimmers of the crazy, however - and let's just this incident was the opposite of her famous concert wardrobe malfunction from April.

See where we're going with this? Read on ...

The celebrity recently sat down for an Elle magazine shoot, a New York Post spy says, and it was a big mess. Literally. According to the report:

"They dressed her in all these beautiful couture clothes - and, well, let's just say she forgot what time of the month it was. It wasn't pretty."

That is so gross. Yet we are not entirely shocked.

If we knew, waking up this morning, that there would be a story going around about a star menstruating on clothes during a photo shoot, Britney Spears definitely would have been our first guess. We would also have called in sick.

On the flip side, at least she didn't let her dog defecate on the clothes, as she did at an OK! Magazine shoot last year. At least we assume not.

Usher sat courtside with him at an NBA playoff game.

Bow Wow helped him shoot an asinine YouTube video.

Now Shaq invites him to hoop it up on his private court.

Apparently Chris Brown is officially out of celebrity exile.

For months, no one (well, except that jackass T.I.) would even comment on the fact that Chris Brown allegedly beat Rihanna to an unconscious, bloody pulp.

But now he's all over the celebrity scene, like the whole thing never happened.

Dude still hasn't apologized or even shown the decency to lay low until his felony case is settled in court. Nice to see him welcomed back with open arms.

Justin Gaston is a moron.

No, he doesn't sport a misspelled tattoo, like certain other young stars. But the boyfriend of Miley Cyrus tells the latest issue of Details magazine that he really likes attention... yet he dislikes the paparazzi.

When asked who he'd wish to be for a day, Gaston told the publication:

"[I'd be] one of those little lapdogs that gets petted all day. You know, they wake up, get fed, get attention. I like attention. I'd like to be one of those little dogs. Is that weird?"

Not as weird as being pimped out by Billy Ray Cyrus, Justin.

Seemingly contradicting his admitted affection for attention, here is Justin's take on celebrity gossip reporters:

"I have nightmares about paparazzi. I always have these, like, flashing things in my dreams. They're so scary. I was going to tweet about [the paparazzi] the other day, but I was afraid people might be, like, mean to me, which they often are. Please don't be mean to me on Twitter. I'm just a guy. I'm just a guy with a dream. I don't know what that means."

So, to summarize: Justin Gaston is a man with a confusing dream, who loves attention, hates being photographed, yearns to be a dog and is dating an egomaniacal 16-year old.

Is everyone clear on that? Good. Now click on the pics below to enlarge more images of the model from his Details photo shoot:
