Celebrity Scandals

Greg Kelly, a co-host on Fox News' Good Morning New York and the son of that city's police Commissioner, has been accused of rape.

The reporter was not in his usual seat on that program this morning because a woman told cops she met Kelly for a drink on October 8 at the South Street Seaport. He then allegedly went back to the law office at which she worked and sexually assaulted the female.

Greg Kelly on Good Day New York

A source tells The New York Daily News that the accuser did not report the crime until Tuesday night, while other insiders claim the incident resurfaced after the woman's boyfriend learned about what happened and actually approached Commissioner Raymond Kelly in person at an event.

Good Day New York reported the story today, but did not reveal any information about Kelly's long or even short-term status on the show.

Asked about her co-worker, Rosanna Scotto simply told the newspaper: "I love Greg. That's all I can say."

The New York County District Attorney's office is conducting the investigation and, through his attorney, Kelly "strenuously denies any wrongdoing of any kind."

It's been nearly four months since Amanda Knox returned to the U.S. after spending four years in an Italian jail. Now she may be going back to the country.

Why return to a place where she was jailed for so long?

Not to see the sights, although her lawyer says she still loves the country and would even consider returning as a tourist one day. But in the more immediate future, Amanda may testify on behalf of her parents, who face criminal charges of slander.

Curt Knox and Edda Mellas, who are divorced, are charged with slandering the Perugia police based on statements they made to London's Sunday Times.

In the interview, they repeated Amanda Knox's claims that she had been physically abused and verbally threatened by police during an interrogation.

How living at home in Washington State, Amanda Knox, 24, is expected to be called as a defense witness at their trial, which is set to begin on March 30.

Knox's murder conviction was overturned last October, but she also faces slander charges for statements regarding police conduct she made during her trial.

Lindsay Lohan is staying out of trouble these days. Yet it still seems to find her.

Already sued by a crazy dude this week, now Lohan is facing claims by a woman who says she clipped her while driving through her old West Hollywood neighborhood.

Roughly 17 months ago, for the record.

Plaintiff Nubia Del Carmen Plaza charges that Lindsay Lohan was driving a rented Maserati GranTurismo when she ran into her while Plaza was crossing the street.

She's demanding unspecified damages to cover "serious personal injuries, pain, suffering and anguish"; past and future medical expenses; and loss of wages and future earning potential due to her inability to perform her usual occupation.

Black & White Car Rental is also named as a defendant.

"To the best of my knowledge, neither Lindsay nor her attorneys have been served with a lawsuit," her rep Steven Honig, the busiest guy in L.A., tells E! News.

"I really can't comment on something that hasn't been served through proper channels. People like to do this - give lawsuits to the media before serving Lindsay."

Authorities say actor Armie Hammer was arrested at a border patrol checkpoint in West Texas after a drug sniffing dog discovered marijuana in his car. The same checkpoint, crazily enough, where Willie Nelson AND Snoop Dogg got popped.

The 25-year-old J. Edgar star spent about a day in jail before paying a $1,000 bond.

Arrest records show he had 0.02 ounces of marijuana, three medicinal marijuana cookies and one brownie when arrested in Sierra Blanca, near the Mexican border.

El Paso's district attorney declined to prosecute because a felony requires more than four ounces of actual marijuana. The county attorney could pursue lesser charges.

Hammer's lawyer Kent Schaffer says no charges have been presented. Likely Armie will merely be fined and sent on his merry, unreasonably handsome way.

Liam Hemsworth turned 22 years old last week and those close to the actor celebrated with a party Saturday evening at Club Icon in Los Angeles.

It was your basic festive occasion, with one notable exception that is now making headlines for Miley Cyrus: the singer, reported by onlookers to have been drinking heavily all night, got up close and VERY personal with her boyfriend's birthday cake.

Which was shaped like a penis.

TMZ has posted photos of Miley squatting, sticking out her tongue and posing provocatively at the base of the phallic creation.

At this point, we almost admire Cyrus for legitimately not caring what others say about her. Consider just a few of her actions when cameras were around:

• She smoked salvia out of a bong.
• She joked about being a pot head.
• She posed both topless and in weird poses with her dad for Vanity Fair.

What do you make of Miley's latest antics? Just a young gal having fun? Or another example of the role model not understanding her influence on fans?

Following Cynthia Nixon's declaration that homosexuality - at least in her case - is a choice, the reaction within the gay community has been strong, swift and mixed.

The harshest rebuke of the Sex and the City star has likely come from celebrity chef Cat Cora, who appeared yesterday on The Talk and said:

"I'm gay, and I was born this way," adding of Nixon's view and how it could impact others: "I really feel like it was dangerous and irresponsible of Cynthia, especially in this environment today when so many young people are taking their lives."

Continued Cora, making a plea to the actress who is currently starring on Broadway:

"I know growing up as a young gay person how much you hate yourself, how much you already think you're different. And for someone to say, ‘It's a choice, you can be this way or that way,' I think it's dangerous and I ask Cynthia to please, reach out to the community and say - to all the people who do hate themselves right now, all the young kids who are impressionable - to say, ‘You're OK, take it one day at a time, it gets better.'"

Nixon has been in relationships with both men and women, but dismisses the classification of "bisexual."

Demi Moore was hospitalized late Monday.

The issue is reportedly substance abuse. Law enforcement sources say a 911 call was placed at 10:45 p.m. Monday night, with paramedics responding to Demi's L.A. home.

After being assessed for a half hour, Demi Moore was transported to a local hospital. The 49-year-old is being placed in a facility to "seek further professional assistance."

It's unclear what substance(s) the alleged abuse, reported by TMZ, involved.

Despite the substance abuse claims, Demi's rep says of his client: "Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health.

"She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of family and friends."

According to E! News, a female friend was at Moore's home when the actress started "shaking" and otherwise "acting like she was suffering from a seizure."

Sources who saw Moore as recently as last week say the actress has been looking increasingly thin, and friends have grown concerned about her weight.

Demi split from her husband Ashton Kutcher in November. The Two and a Half Men star is currently in Brazil for a shoot with Brazilian fashion brand Colcci.

Moore's rep confirmed that the star has dropped out of the Linda Lovelace biopic Lovelace, in which she had been cast as feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

We wish her only the best in her recovery.

O.J. Simpson is not Khloe Kardashian's real father. Let's be real, people.

But might it be Alex Roldan?!?

Roldan has served as Kris Jenner's hairstylist for 30 years and, well.... that's about it. But readers of Hollywoodite dot com have advanced the theory that he may have fathered Khloe because he's close to Kris and he sort of looks like the youngest Kardashian daughter. See for yourself here:

Roldan is also featured in the video for "I Love My Friends," which Kris Jenner apparently recorded and which we're not making up.

It's amazing to behold. Check it out below and look for Roldan's appearance around the 3:15 mark:

The 49ers fell to the Giants yesterday in the NFC Championship Game and - like Billy Cundiff on the Ravens - most of the blame lies at the feet of one player: Kyle Williams, who turned the ball over TWICE on punt returns, including one fumble that led to an easy New York field goal in overtime.

Williams has taken responsibility for the mishaps, but that isn't enough for some crazed fans.

Kyle Williams Fumbles, 49ers Lose

Many have taken to Twitter and issued death threat against the little-used wide receiver, who was only pressed in to duty due to an injury.

"It certainly makes you question our culture of sports as it stands," said Kyle's dad, Chicago White Sox General Manager Kenny Williams, while kicker David Akers also stood up for his teammate:

"I'm irritated with the way people are treating him, absolutely. I think it's ridiculous. You know, get a grip on what life's about. He went out and he put his soul out there. That's what he does. He was not trying to do anything other than make an incredible play for this team."

We agree. And fans ought to be thanking Williams for helping to set up a Giants/Patriots Super Bowl. It's gonna be epic!

Gabriel Aubry could be in major trouble with the law.

The Canadian model, who shares custody of three-year old Nahla with Halle Berry, is under investigation for allegedly screaming at his nanny last week and shoving her out a door... while the woman cradled the child in her arms.

According to a police report published by TMZ, Aubry kept Nahla home from school last Wednesday, unbeknownst to the nanny. When she arrived at Gabriel's house and asked why the tyke was not in class, Berry's ex supposedly went off on her:

"You're the f*cking nanny. Who do you think you are? You are a nobody. You don't need to f*cking know anything."

He then pushed her out the door.
