Celebrity Scandals

Earlier today, Miley Cyrus sent a message to the world: I am not a slut.

Now, Perez Hilton has a message of his own: I am not a distributor of child pornography!

The latter statement is needed because the self-absorbed, immature celebrity gossip blogger has been accused of Tweeting an uncensored photo of Miley's crotch.

In an insincere, lame video on his website today, Perez said: "Do you think I'm stupid enough to post a photo of Miley if she's not wearing any underwear down there? No! Sure I like to seem controversial, but I don't want to go to jail."

He then published the following circled photo, which depicts Miley in the same outfit as she wore in the original, scandalous picture (below, left) and supposedly proves she was wearing underwear all along:

None of this changes the fact that Hilton is an absolute tool. He offers nothing interesting or creative on his blog, relying on such pathetic gimmicks as upskirt shots and penis drawings to get attention.

At this point, there's no real chance of Perez receiving any legal punishment, although a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney told Salon.com that it was "suicidal" for the blogger to distribute the image.

"We're not talking about a misdemeanor," Jeffrey Douglas said. "You don't have to know what the definition of the law is; all you have to do is knowingly distribute the photograph."

If you're curious about the definition of douche bag, by the way, don't bother opening up a dictionary. Just find a photo of Perez Hilton.

Have former Vice President Al Gore and Laurie David, ex-wife of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David, been having an affair for the last two years?

That's the allegation of a prominent celebrity gossip tabloid.

Al Gore split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage earlier this month, news that shocked to a public who largely viewed the Gore union as an ideal marriage.

There were very few details, rumored or confirmed, about the nature of the split. Until today, when Star said that Al Gore and Laurie David are sleeping together.

Al has supposedly been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Larry David in 2007 amid reports she slept with the caretaker of their Martha's Vineyard home.

No additional information, such as whether Tipper found out about the split, or whether it's actually true, is available at this time. But an insider did tell Star:

“Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers. It couldn’t be avoided."

Really, Star insider? It was inevitable? There was no deliberation at all? Michelle McGee would agree with that take. Al's just doing what guys do, right? Yeesh.

Following a melee at a local strip joint, Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young was issued a Class C assault citation in Dallas, Texas, early Sunday morning.

No arrests are planned and the former University of Texas star's citation, while for a misdemeanor charge, likely will entail a fine that he will pay and that's it.

The incident is said to have occurred at a Dallas strip club early Sunday morning after a man at the venue insulted, verbally or otherwise, Young's alma mater.

A Dallas police source said that Vince Young was attempting to exchange cash, possibly for single dollar bills, at Club Onyx when all hell suddenly broke loose.

Apparently, someone made disparaging remarks about the Longhorns, and then flashed an upside-down “Hook ‘em, Horns” hand gesture. A brawl ensued.

Vince Young hopes the Almighty won't let the NFL suspend him.

Today, the NFL star apologized to his teammates for the whole strip club fight, noting that he's praying to God that the NFL won't "come down hard."

After practice today, Young said, "I just made a mistake, I made a big mistake even being there and I let that guy provoke me into doing what I did."

"I pray to God that [league Commissioner] Roger Goodell doesn't come down hard on me, because I definitely want to be here for my teammates."

Right, because 1. God saw the fight, and 2. Even if He did, He'd be more concerned about Young suiting up this fall than any pleas for forgiveness.

Vince Young Fight

Larry King's wife Shawn Southwick reportedly overdosed on prescription drugs in what investigators are considering a suicide bid. Fortunately, Shawn failed.

It all went down May 28 when Shawn's dad called 911 from the Kings' home in Provo, Utah, telling the dispatcher Shawn was breathing but not responsive.

Shawn King left a handwritten note stating she OD'd on purpose and indicated where she wanted to be buried, according to police, who found a lot meds.

Larry King says their marriage is still intact, despite both of them filing for divorce in April. Later, they called it off and decided to make the marriage work.

Apparently things went south between then and May 28, though.

Among the medications found at the home, Subutex is used to treat narcotic addiction, while Cymbalta is an anti-depressant and Lyrica a seizure treatment.

Klonopin and Clonazepam are anti-anxiety meds. Bottles of those two, along with Ambien, were empty and had been filled within 10 days of the incident.

Sources close to Shawn Southwick say she battles depression, which started, continued and never stopped over Larry King's alleged affair with her sister.

Shawn has been "extremely depressed" for more than five years, and the trigger is believed to be Larry's long-term involvement with Shannon Engemann.

If you've been following this story, you may recall that several years ago, this all blew up in Larry's face, and he made a peace offering to Shawn King.

Isn't it time Jason Wahler did time?

Seriously, how many arrests can one person endure before they stop getting second chances and actually pay the price for inexcusable, illegal behavior?

Don't answer that, DMX.

In any case, the reality TV train wreck best known for somehow convincing Lauren Conrad to sleep with him and starring on Laguna Beach and The Hills, was busted allegedly striking a woman at a Hollywood party early Sunday.

Like we said, prison is calling.

This is at least the seventh time we have written about this giant tool being arrested. While entertaining for awhile, it stops being funny when the crime is hitting a girl.

Jason Wahler was taken into custody about 1:45 a.m. and booked on a charge of misdemeanor battery hours later. He's currently being held on $20,000 bail.

Earlier this year, Jason was arrested for DUI - twice, in as many countries, in the span of a month. He was already on probation for God only knows what else.

Guy's past transgressions range from excessive drinking to assaulting a tow truck driver to disorderly conduct in a hotel lobby and all sorts of other bad stuff.

A rep for Wahler could not be reached for comment. Most likely because we suspect that rep will be severing all ties with Wahler for good any second now.

At least we would hope so.

In disturbing news, a sequence of Gary Coleman photos depicting the former child star in the hospital last month are being shopped to celebrity news outlets.

In one photo, Coleman is dead. In another, his eyes are closed and he is on a ventilator. It's as sad as it is pathetic that someone took and is trying to sell it.

That person? None other than Shannon Price, the ex-wife of the troubled 42-year-old actor, and the one who made the decision to take him off life support.

Her asking price is low five figures, and if someone pays that, or anything, we suggest they pack lightly and join Price where she's going soon - it's warm.

Ever since the release of the Gary Coleman 911 call last week, Price has come under intense scrutiny - and now wants up to $50,000 for interviews as well.

Gary Coleman and Shannon Price wed in 2007 and divorced in 2008. They never remarried, but reconciled and were living together at the time of his May 28 death.

Supposedly, Shannon is even offering to give - for the right price - a video tour of the house and where they lived, and where Gary suffered his ultimately fatal fall.

At first, we didn't believe Shannon Price was the person hawking the death photo. But that was our mistake - she's never seemed like a girl who wouldn't do that.

If you recall, Price sold a video interview within 24 hours of his death, denying that she had a role in his fall (which no one suggested) or that she wanted him dead.

This situation is growing increasingly weird, if not suspicious. Since then, she has reportedly tried to sell additional interviews at increasingly high prices. Sickening.

UPDATE, 1:49 p.m. EST: Three of the four pictures of Gary Coleman's final moments among the living have been sold to a tabloid, but not the actual death photo.

The four photos, which Gary's ex-wife orchestrated, may hit stands as early as this week. In one pic, Shannon poses next to a bedridden Gary, riddled with tubes.

Shannon will get a cut of the profits. Disgusting.

Tila Tequila needs significant professional help - and, no, Dr. Drew Pinsky won't cut it.

The troubled D-lister took to her blog Friday night and posted a video of her bloody arm, allegedly sliced open at the wrist by one of her multiple personalities named "Jane."

Wrote Tila: "I don't know what happened. People don't believe I have multiple personalities but this morning the last thing I remember was falling asleep cuz I was so tired. I blacked out and now that I just woke up from excruciating pains all over my body, there was blood and dope everywhere! She is evil!

She single handedly smashed and broke EVERYTHING in my bedroom! Both nightstands, the bed lights, all of the surround sound system, my tv boxes and there's glass everywhere. There's even chunks  of meet coming out of my arm from the deep slits from her slicing up my arm from all the broken glass! My arm meet from inside is starting to bubble up and seep through the cuts. This is so f***ed up.

Now that I'm awake, she just left but I have no recollection of what happened to me. I'm just crying right now hiding in my toilet...my entire room is in shambles. All the new furniture is broken and glass all over the bed. I don't know what's happening!"

This incident caused cops from the North Hollywood Police Station to conduct a “welfare check” on Tequila on Saturday.

They found her at home, utterly confounded over why anyone phoned the authorities with concern over her well-being.

“Peace out u ignorant f---. Not my #TilaArmy but whomever said I'm commiting suicide! F--- OFF! Why would I??? I got mad $$$ & LOVE! STFU,” Tila Tweeted soon after the police left.

They are considering charges against Tequila for pulling such a stunt and wasting their time. But one thing is for certain: Either Tila truly suffers from multiple personality disorder; or she faked suicide to get attention.

The same conclusion can be drawn from either belief (and from this outfit): she needs MAJOR help.

Bow down.

That was the statement Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford made following his arrest for marijuana possession last week. Not his official police statement, but still.

The booking photo following Crawford's arrest ranks among the best ever, with those man bangs (however tousled and greasy), piercing eyes and facial hair.

Heart throb that he is, it shouldn't be shocking that the 24-year-old managed to look hot even in such circumstances. We certainly couldn't say that with ours.

Talk about making the best of a bad situation ...

Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl fame was arrested in his home town of Plano, Texas, for possession of marijuana, police say. He was bailed out of jail.

The 24-year-old actor was arrested just after midnight this morning for possession of marijuana under two ounces. The charge is a misdemeanor.

Crawford was busted in the parking lot of Ringo's Pub. Sources say Chace was in a car with a friend when he was busted and cops found a joint.

Considering how Bravo's Real Housewives like to throw around their money - seriously, read all about the party one of them threw for a nine-year old this week! - you'd think they could afford to hire a chauffeur.

Instead Sonja Morgan got pulled over for drunk driving early this morning.

The newest Real Housewives of New York City cast member failed to halt at a stop sign in Southampton Village around 2 a.m. and then proceeded to fail a field sobriety test. Morgan refused a Breathalyzer and was taken to local police headquarters, arrested for DWI.

Sources told The New York Post she had been on the island throughout Memorial Day weekend.

Morgan will appear in court to face the charge at a later date. Feel free to draw a mustache on her mug shot.
