November 2009 Gossip Archive (Page 9)

Well, this is one way to help CBS News climb out of the ratings basement. Who knew Katie Couric looked so good - and could get low on the dance floor?

Pictures posted on her 18-year-old daughter's Facebook page (she is soo grounded) shows the CBS Evening News anchor grinding in a short black skirt.

The occasion for Katie Couric dancing provocatively on a rooftop of Manhattan's Hudson Hotel? A 2006 party celebrating her taking over CBS' newscast.

As you can see, Katie sure can bust a move ...

CBS News' Katie Couric does a little dirty dancing.

The pictures, while nothing you wouldn't normally see at a wedding or pretty much any party, are nonetheless eyebrow-raising for a journalist of her stature.

In response, Couric's rep, Matthew Hiltzik said "Katie had a good time dancing with her daughters - they choreographed the dance and had fun doing it."

These images beg the eternal question: What would Walter Cronkite think? More importantly, what do you think of the Katie Couric dancing photos?

It looks like Taylor Swift has something in common with plain white t-shirts:

Both get wet when on top of Taylor Lautner!

Indeed, Rolling Stone released a few photos from its Lautner spread in October. Now, though, the publication has unleashed its cover shot of the Twilight Saga star and we have just two words for it:

Hubba. Hubba.

With the New Moon opening behind us, fans of this movie franchise may need to wait a couple months for the PR machine to rev up again in anticipation of Eclipse in June 2010.

This is likely the last Taylor Lautner cover shot for awhile. Soak it in, ladies.

While Alex Rodriguez is winning World Series titles, loving sex and acting like less of a jerk because of new girlfriend Kate Hudson, Cynthia Rodriguez is moving on too.

C-Rod, who divorced Alex last year, has recently been spotted around Miami with a new love of her own: Laszlo Fazekas, 37-year-old real estate investor / accountant.

According to the Palm Beach Post, which unmasked Cynthia's new man's identity, Laszlo was "born from a Brazilian mother into a famous Hungarian soccer family."

A-ROD WHO? Cynthia Rodriguez and Laszlo Fazekas are now an item!

Speaking to the Post, Fazekas resents suggestions that Cynthia "traded down" for a less attractive partner after "awkward" photos emerged of him with Rodriguez.

"I saw online that folks are comparing me with Alex. That's ridiculous," he says. "I don't care what people say. I'm physically fit and I know I'm not bad looking."

He's also guaranteed to be less of a douche, but he didn't say so. He did say that he first met Cynthia Rodriguez when he visted her home as a real estate agent.

Laszlo Fazekas said that his daughter and C-Rod's two girls with A-Rod get along great, and that "for now, we have a deep friendship that could become much more."

Cynthia filed for divorce from Alex Rodriguez in 2008 after his affair with Madonna was revealed. He has been involved with Kate Hudson since May of this year.

Monday nights often feature the good (How I Met Your Mother), the bad (Heroes) and the ugly (Two and a Half Men) of television.

In other words: there's something for everyone!

Because our staff is busy covering the latest New Moon gossip, as well as mourning the end of Jon & Kate Plus 8, we've left it to our friends at TV Fanatic to recap and review all new episodes from last night.

Follow the links to that site below...

• The best thing we can say about this week's Heroes: it wasn't the worst episode in show history.
• The House and Cuddy relationship is losing a bit of steam on House.
• Chris Elliot, along with a few big-time slaps, guest-starred on How I Met Your Mother.
• Katee Sackhoff graced viewers with her hot presence on The Big Bang Theory.
• Charlie learned a valuable lesson on Two and a Half Men: talking can lead to orgasms.

There's more to Blake Lively than meets the eye - even though what meets the eye is drop-dead gorgeous when it comes to the blonde Gossip Girl actress.

Monday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, she took the time to clear up rumors about herself that have been circulating online - some true, some not quite.

One rumor? That Blake swipes friends' credit cards as a joke. This is partially true, though as she says (and illustrates on Jimmy), it's "a variation on that."

It's also rumored that she spontaneously breaks into dance.

While she tried to resist and hold off until her Saturday Night Live hosting duties December 5 (with musical guest Rihanna), the crowd goaded her into it.

That rumor looks like it was totally true. And awesome. Here's Blake showing off the many talents, interests and sense of humor few fans knew she had ...

Blake Lively on Late Night

Are you ready for your online life to change forever?

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have taken to Twitter, folks, as each posted his/her first Tweet this week.

Rob was the first star to post on Summit Entertainment's official Twilight Twitter account, typing a message of appreciate to fans around the nation:

"Thank you for making NEW MOON #1. It's very exciting to be a part of something embraced by so many people. I hope you are looking forward to ECLIPSE as much as I am."

Psssst: Don't tell OK! Weekly, but I can't wait to go home and Eclipse your New Moon!

Stewart then followed her rumored boyfriend's lead, making consecutive postings that read:

"You all have proven you're the most amazing fans in the world once again."

"Yes, I twittered. Or twitted..tweeted? I dunno, but thank you sooo much anyway..!"

Remember: We may be as attractive as Robert and Kristen, but THG twitters and/or tweets throughout the day, too. Follow us now!

Last week in a Good Morning America interview, Janet Jackson said that because Dr. Conrad Murray was the one administering the anesthetic Propofol to her brother Michael, he should be held responsible for the music icon's death.

Janet's sister La Toya had no intention of being so diplomatic.

In an interview with the UK's Daily Mail in July, La Toya said in no uncertain terms that Michael was murdered. Last night, she was back on the attack.

Murray returned to work yesterday after suspending his medical practice in the aftermath of Jackson's death, which is still being investigated by cops.

La Toya, 53, shredded Dr. Conrad Murray when confronted by paparazzi outside of Boa Steakhouse, warning to his patients: "Nobody should hire him."

"Dr. Murray murdered my brother and it was wrong."

Murder may be a stretch, as we doubt Murray wanted things to turn out this way ... with the beloved entertainer dead and criminal charges against him likely.

But La Toya does make a point. Patients dying from drug overdoses they never should have had administered? Usually not something a person seeks in a doc.

While there's little doubt that Britney Spears and Jason Trawick, her agent and boyfriend, seem very happy these days, the two aren't engaged or getting married.

We're confident in stating that as a fact, since they're taking things slowly, her impulsive days are long gone ... and her management team said this on the record.

Why let facts stop you sometimes, though? Right, OK!?

Apparently fresh out of Robsten rumors (although Kristen "will be there for Rob" in an ancillary article), the celeb gossip publication featured Britney this week.

She's apparently tying the not with Jason Trawick in a million-dollar beach wedding. Surprising that budget-conscious Jamie Spears gave that the green light ...

Sean and Jayden supposedly gave Jason Trawick their blessing.

The alleged scoop in OK!: Britney Spears is telling friends she’s ready to marry her boyfriend Jason Trawick. And "all it took was her boys’ blessing" to convince her.

Mmm hmm. Right. We're sure her sons, ages four and three, sat down with her and had a heart-to-heart, expressing their concerns and going over a pro-con list.

This will be her third wedding in five years. Or would be, if it were actually happening. And what's with the headline, guys? Creative. Never been used before.

Nevertheless, OK! cites a source claiming that the lip-syncher "does not have a doubt in her mind that she wants to spend the rest of her life with Jason.”

“She has already discussed marriage with him.”

Wow, a discussion? We're totally convinced.

Kate Gosselin never wanted it to be this way. But it is. Thank goodness!

Jon & Kate Plus 8 came to an end Monday in an emotional series finale.

Having shut down the show thanks to Jon Gosselin's gripes about himself his children being mistreated, TLC made no secret that it's on Team Kate.

Via heavy Kate commentary, the door definitely hit Jon on the way out.

"They don't know about girlfriends at all," Kate said, referring pointedly to her kids' knowledge of Jon's on-off significant other, Hailey Glassman.

"That's just too warped for them, too unhealthy for them to know. They learn by watching us, and that's the last thing I want them to know."

"I just think that relationship is a situation that's just a symptom of the real issue, so ... I don't envision a future there involving my kids at all."

Oooh, snap. You got served, Jon.

Try not to weep openly at work.

"I do worry about his intentions and his motives for such things," she said. "Always wondering, is this a publicity stunt? What is the bottom line of it?"

Despite all the animosity, Kate Gosselin says that she never meant to become a single parent, and wishes it had never come to this earlier this year.

"When I'm driving to get school supplies with the kids or to try on shoes or anything that you've seen us do recently, it always crosses my mind that I should be in the passenger seat and Jon should be driving ... every single time."

"I never wanted that to change. Maybe I wanted roles to change, and people to step up, but I never wanted him absent from that driver's seat."

As for Jon, he's embracing this single parent douchebag thing.

"Those are precious times," he said, referring to the years they spent shooting Jon & Kate Plus 8, "and it is unfortunate our marriage failed, but our family should not fail. We're going to strive to do better and be the best parents we can."

"But we're definitely not going to be married ever again."

Follow the jump for an emotional clip from the finale ...

One is making headlines for simulating oral sex on stage.

Another is aiming for a comeback after a public, ugly break-up.

A third is really, really weird.

And the fourth major artist releasing a new album this week has actually broken pre-sale records, despite having been utterly unheard of just a few months ago.

Indeed, with numerous singers and record labels hoping to take advantage of the holiday season, this is shaping up to be the most competition week in CD sales history.

Adam Lambert ("For Your Entertainment"), Rihanna ("Rated R"), Lady GaGa ("The Fame Monster") and Susan Boyle ("I Dreamed A Dream") will all compete for the top spot on the charts.

And we're not even counting Britney Spears, who is releasing a collection of her number-one hits (K-Fed is definitely not inclued on that list. Zing!).

Whose new album will you purchase first?
