Celebrity Scandals

Bruce Beresford-Redman, a former producer on Survivor and Pimp My Ride, has been detailed by Mexican police.

He's suspected of killing his wife.

Earlier today, the body of Monica Beresford-Redman was discovered in a sewer at the Moon Palace resort in Cancun, where the couple had been on vacation.

According to Bello Rodriguez, the attorney general for the area, a security guard at the hotel witnessed Bruce and Monica arguing Monday night and added that Beresford-Redman tried to hit his wife.

Beresford-Redman, who reported Monica missing on Tuesday, has been detained as a person of interest in the case. Officials conducting toxicology tests to see if he had consumed drugs in the past week report that he had scratches on his neck.

No cause of death has been determined.

In his worst career move since retiring one year before the New York Giants won the Super Bowl, Today Show correspondent and former NFL star Tiki Barber has dumped Ginny Barber, his wife, for former NBC intern Traci Lynn Johnson, reports say.

Tracy Lynn Johnson is just 23. They have two sons already and Ginny Barber is eight months pregnant with twins. A twin himself, you'd think Tiki would respect that.

Then again, maybe Ronde Barber is really the one cheating. Think about it.

Ginny found out about the scandalous relationship late last year. Johnson, a model-thin bombshell, was photographed sitting next to Tiki at a Washington, D.C., screening of a documentary on Senegal that he hosted for the Travel Channel.

Traci Lynn Johnson: Tiki Barber mistress. Giants fan.

Sources say Johnson, who also worked on the 30 Rock set, accompanied Tiki to film in Senegal when Ginny was three months pregnant. Their affair is particularly stunning in light of Barber's long-standing disdain for his philandering father.

Barber's confidants were shocked at his conduct. One said:

"We were shocked to find out that he could walk out on his wife of 11 years while she's pregnant with twins. He was with this girl in Senegal while Ginny was three months pregnant. And we believe she was also with him at the Olympics in Vancouver."

Barber, who is believed to have relocated to an Upper West Side bachelor paid, released a statement yesterday in response to the Post story announcing the split:

"After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to separate," Barber said. "This decision was a painful one, but we are moving forward amicably and will continue to work together to raise our children with the love and dedication they have known."

Tiki had no additional comment. Ginny is a former fashion publicist and full-time mom to the couple's two sons, A.J., 7, and Chason, 6. She also declined comment.

Man, first Tiger Woods. Then Jesse James. And now this. Now many more celebrity cheating scandals can we take? Too bad Tiki's not following them to sex rehab.

As a primetime soap opera, Desperate Housewives has remained a popular ABC show due to its sordid storylines and intriguing scenarios.

But nothing that's happened on Wisteria Lane can compare to what a former star is accusing the show's creator of doing: in a documents filed today, Nicollette Sheridan accuses Marc Cherry of assault and battery, gender violence and wrongful termination.

According to TMZ, she's suing him for over $20 million, stating that Cherry acted "in an extremely abusive and aggressive manner toward the individuals who work on the show."

Specifically, Sheridan alleges that Cherry struck her across the face in 2008.

This is what supposedly went down:

On September 24, the actress questioned a development in the script. According to the lawsuit, "Cherry took her aside and forcefully hit her with his hand across her face and head."

From there, the papers read, Cherry went to Sheridan's trailer to "beg forgiveness." ABC was notified of the situation, but failed to act.

The suit also claims that Cherry once discovered that Teri Hatcher went behind his back to complain about him. His alleged response? "I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car and dies."

Soon after these incidents, plans were made to terminate Sheridan from the show. Her character was killed off last season.

For now, these are nothing more than allegations. As Desperate Housewives winds down its season, though, there's a good chance the drama behind the scenes will continue through the summer.

** UPDATE: ABC has responded: “While we have yet to see the actual complaint, we investigated similar claims made by Ms. Sheridan last year and found them to be without merit.”

Was Bruce Springsteen born to run into the arms of Ann Kelly? Did she see him dancing in the dark ... naked? Did they go for a ride in the tunnel of love?

Does anyone born after 1980 get any of these bad Bruce Springsteen jokes? It's unclear. But Ann clearly alleges that she had an affair with the rock god.

Or at least her husband alleges she did.

Kelly, a housewife living with a mortgage broker husband and two kids in a $600,000 New Jersey suburban home, says Bruce entered her (life) in 2005.

The married Springsteen showering her with concert tickets, serenaded her and confessed she was on his mind during his touring, court records allege.

The details of the alleged tryst are all coming to light now because of Ann Kelly's husband of 17 years, Arthur Kelly, filed for divorce on March 27, 2009.

Mmm. Looks like the Boss has a type. Right, Ann Kelly?

The affair between Kelly and Springsteen, who has three children with wife Patti Scialfa, began with chit chats at the gym and became much more.

Arthur Kelly says Ann Kelly enjoyed a rendezvous with Bruce Springsteen while Arthur was laid up in a hospital with heart trouble, and references marriage counseling sessions at which The Boss was the main topic of discussion.

Rumors that Springsteen was having an affair with a redheaded knockout who was a dead ringer for Patti Scialfa surfaced a few years back, too.

Arthur says Ann told him that he would stand at the end of her treadmill as she ran. It must have been a tempting vantage point for the "Thunder Road" singer because he once told Ann she had the "nicest ass" in the gym, Arthur says.

Ann allegedly told Arthur's mom several times that "it made her feel good that Bruce Springsteen was very interested in her," the papers say.

The housewife allegedly conscripted her friends to be on "Springsteen watch," and asked for intel on when Springsteen's wife would be away.

A spokeswoman for Springsteen declined to comment on the cheating allegations. However, a friend of The Boss responded, "Bruce and Patti continue to have a terrific marriage and are very devoted to each other and their children."

Singer Erykah Badu will be cited for disorderly conduct for getting naked in Dealey Plaza, the site of John F. Kennedy's assassination, for her video for "Window Seat."

Just when you thought you'd heard every nude scandal imaginable.

The Dallas Police Department announced Friday that "the statements from the witness would rise to the level of disorderly conduct," Deputy Chief Mike Genovesi said.

According to reports, a woman filed an indecency complaint after she and her two young kids witnessed Erykah Badu nude, filming a climactic scene in her video.

But it got people talking about her when they otherwise might not be, right? Hmm. You know somewhere, Spencer Pratt is plotting a similar Heidi Montag nude stunt.

BADU NEWS: Interestingly, it wasn't the nudity that got her in trouble.

"To shoot that, they would have had to get a special permit from the events office, and it would have had to specify what filming they were doing, what subjects they would use and any traffic control they would need," Dallas Police officials said.

"They definitely did not get a permit."

City authorities admit, however, that no one probably would have batted an eye about any of the violations (Class C misdemeanors) if Badu hadn't gotten naked.

"None of this would have occurred had she stayed clothed," Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway said. "But since she didn't, it elevated the need for making sure that we have policies in place that will protect folks and the integrity of the city."

Badu's camp has not commented on the citation, but "Window Seat" directors Coodie and Chike said Badu was "ready to be arrested on the spot" last month.

That would have made an even greater scene, so not surprising. This officially tops the Mindy McCready sex tape for oddest nudity-related story of the week.

NBA star Dwyane Wade is in the midst of a nasty divorce from wife Siohvaughn Funches Wade, who accuses the baller of, among other things, giving her an STD.

But that's nothing but a lie, according to sworn testimony from a friend.

Siohvaughn Wade has claimed in legal docs the Miami Heat guard gave her chlamydia. But during a deposition, Andrea Williams, close friend of the Wades, says it's not so.

Williams says Siohvaughn contracted the disease from another man.

According to her testimony, Siohvaughn was seeing another man during her marriage, and Williams says she was there in when Wade accused him of the STD transfer.

Former Death Row Records head honcho and occasional hard ass criminal Suge Knight allegedly beat and robbed rapper Yukmouth and is wanted by police.

Sources say the attack on the rapper, whose name is quite apt, albeit misspelled, took place at a Ralph's supermarket in the San Fernando Valley last night.

According to a law enforcement source, Suge and roughly 10 members of his posse allegedly beat up Yukmouth and then took $92,000 worth of jewelry.

In the world of Suge, he went easy on Yuks.

SMOKED: Yukmouth apparently was for crossing Suge Knight.

Sources say Suge and his entourage are suspects and that authorities want to question them. This has happened to Knight probably a few hundred times before.

Also, there's reportedly a previous misdemeanor warrant out for Suge's arrest, which puts him right up there in DMX's league in terms of multiple court dates.

The moral of the story: DO NOT MESS WITH SUGE KNIGHT.

Seriously, unless you are Akon's manager and can lay him the f*%k out, it's just not worth getting on his bad side. Oh, don't call him Marion, either, BT-dubs.

Yes, that's his real name. Marion. MARION! What a douche.

Bodyguard Alberto Alvarez is making a shocking accusation against Dr. Conrad Murray, saying the doc halted CPR on Michael Jackson to hide vials of Propofol.

Alvarez, who called 911, told cops months after Jackson's death that Dr. Murray hid bottles of Propofol in a closet so that family and police wouldn't find them.

He told police he saw Dr. Murray running around the room hiding Propofol bottles in a closet near the room where the doctor administered the drug to Jackson.

This adds fuel to a prosecution theory that he covered up evidence.

According to Alvarez, Dr. Murray stopped doing CPR and handed Alvarez drug vials, instructing him to put them in a bag. Alvarez says he saw an IV in Jackson's leg.

He notes that Dr. Conrad Murray took Propofol vials and told Alvarez to put them in a plastic bag, then told Alvarez to put the plastic bag inside a canvas bag.

Alvarez also says Murray told him to remove the IV that contained a white milky substance (Propofol) in another canvas bag. Where the bags went is unclear.

Jackson's mouth and eyes were wide open but there was no sign of life. He was taken to the UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead on June 25.

Alvarez also says that MJ's kids, Prince Michael and Paris, entered the room and cried as they watched Murray administer mouth-to-mouth on the lifeless star.

And there's this: After Jackson died, Murray said he needed to go back to the mansion to get cream Jackson had "so the world wouldn't find out about it."

Sources connected with Murray's defense say he hid nothing. Authorities found bottles of the anesthetic in what looks like a secret compartment of the closet.

Those sources say Alvarez's statement came two months after Jackson died and directly contradicts what the bodyguard told the police the day of MJ's death.

Murray sources say Alvarez never said anything about hiding Propofol at the scene. Dr. Murray told cops two days later where Propofol bottles could be found.

Law enforcement sources believe Murray connected a large bottle directly into the IV and a massive amount, which entered Jackson's system and killed him.

Who knew Jesse James and mistress Michelle McGee had more in common than tattoos, adultery and general trashiness: He's got a Nazi photo spread too!

According to TMZ, there is a photo of James making the rounds in which he wearing a hat identical to the one Michelle McGee wore in her Nazi photo shoot.

In his picture, Jesse James is making the Nazi salute.

The photo, taken two years ago, is undeniably him, and the hat Jesse is wearing is nearly the same as what's sported by Michelle McGee in her Nazi pics. Bizarre.

We knew Jesse James was an a$$hole. But a Nazi?!

Even better (worse), in his photo, Jesse is holding up his right hand in a "Heil Hitler" pose ... and with his left hand he is sort of covering his mouth with two fingers.

As in mimicking Hitler's mustache? Can this get any more sickening? Who does that? Apparently Sandra Bullock's husband, when he's not too busy cheating on her.

The woman selling the Nazi picture says she didn't actually take it (yeah, likely story), rather, it belonged to a friend who happened to be working with Jesse James.

The friend supposedly doesn't know it's been hawked. Stay tuned.

DMX had better watch his back.

Former Laguna Beach and Hills star Jason Wahler was arrested last week for allegedly driving under the influence, having just been sprung from jail in Mexico!

Newport Beach, Calif., police say Wahler was nabbed for driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe while intoxicated. Hilariously, he described himself to police as "an actor."

He was released under his own recognizance. You may recall Wahler was arrested in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and held there earlier this month after a bar fight.

As for how he got back to the U.S., that remains shrouded in mystery. The U.S. Consulate is, for whatever reason, kept the reason for his release on the DL.

Until he gets arrested, we always forget about him too.

Jason Wahler was cuffed a week ago Thursday and thrown in the slammer after getting in a fight, yet no record of Jason was found during calls to various jails.

The Consulate says he was released seven hours after being locked up after the ex of Lauren Conrad signed a document keeping the terms of his release secret.

1. Who knew you could even do that, it's news to us, and
2. You have to wonder what he did to secure his release.

You gotta love Mexico.

According to Wahler's father, no charges were filed against his son in Mexico. As for the Newport Beach DUI, he's not likely to be let off with any secret bribe.
