Lauren Conrad
Lauren Conrad did indeed confirm that she will be returning to reality television when asked by Ryan Seacrest on air. She said “It’d be safe to say [yes] . . . It would follow my career, set in L.A.” The former “Hills” star said she has “no regrets” about her time on “The Hills” and also said “I’ve always been open to doing reality again. It’s just under certain circumstances,” she said. “As long as you have a separation then it works.

Her new book Sugar and Spice: An L.A. Candy Novel is expected to be released on October 5, 2010. It is the third and final book in the series.

Lady Gaga Meat Dress
Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards featured big wins by Lady Gaga who wore a meat dress and scored 8 VMA’s. She won for Best Female Video, Video Of The Year, Best Pop Video, Best Collaboration, Best Dance Music Video, Best Choreography, Best Direction, and Best Editing. It was her hit song Bad Romance that scored her award after award. Eminem also won two VMA’s for his hit song Not Afraid which were Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Video. Throughout the night we saw performances from Eminem who was joined by Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Usher, Drake, but the two most anticipated were by Kanye West and Taylor Swift. Remember from last year when Taylor Swift was accepting her award for Best Female Video and Kanye got up on the stage grabbed the mic from her and said the award should have gone to Beyonce, well it seems the two both addressed the issue in their performances last night. Taylor performed her new song Stealing Innocence in which the lyrics say
“It’s alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who your are is not where you’ve been
You’re still an innocent
It’s okay, life is a tough crowd
Thirty two and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You’re still an innocent”
Many believe she is addressing Kanye in the song and forgiving him. The lyrics set off quite a buzz on the internet with everyone searching for the age of Kanye West. He was born June 8, 1977 which makes him 33 now but 32 at the time he interrupted her on the stage and at which she most likely wrote the song. Later in the night Kanye performed a new song as well for the first time called Runaway and the lyrics say “Let’s have a toast for the douchebags,” he rapped. “Let’s have a toast for the a——s. Let’s have a toast for the scumbags. Let’s have a toast for the jerk—s. Baby, I got a plan. Runaway fast as you can.” It seems as though he is speaking of himself in the lyrics. The show was hosted by Chelsea Handler.

Danielle Staub
Bravo announced late Monday that Danielle Staub would no longer be on the show The Real Housewives of New Jersey. It was announced that her appearance on the reunion show would be the last. The last two seasons have been filled with cat fights, hair pulling, and table flipping and none of the other women on the show getting along with Danielle. Reports have surfaced saying that Staub was not asked back on for the third season but she says it was her decision and that stress of dealing with costars Caroline Manzo, former Housewife Dina Manzo, Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita had become too much. When speaking of the reunion show Staub said “At the reunion, I knew I was leaving but I didn’t know if I’d get to say goodbye or if I’d be chased off the set. I can honestly say it was starting to be a really stressful situation for me. Constantly having to deal with people attacking me physically, emotionally, mentally, as a mother, as a human, as a woman. I really didn’t want to continue that.” Of her decision to leave the show she says “I’m relieved, happy. It feels amazing to leave on a positive note.” Danielle Staub 48, is a divorced mother of two. In the past year she released a book called The Naked Truth: The Real Story Behind The Real Housewife Of New Jersey. Will you miss her on the show?

Dr. Oz
Dr. Mehmet Oz from The Dr. Oz Show will undergo a colonoscopy on the season premiere September 7. He celebrated his 50th birthday in June and wanted to highlight the procedures value on the show. The doctor that performs the colonoscopy is Dr. Jon LaPook, a gastroenterologist who is chief medical correspondent for CBS News. During the examination the doctor finds a polyp, or precancerous growth inside his intestine. If this polyp was left behind or undiscovered it could have likely become colon cancer. Dr. Oz is quoted as saying “This was a shakeup for me,” he told PEOPLE. “I have done everything right. I don’t have any family history, and yet I’m high risk now.” The next step for him is that he will be screened again in three months to see if all of the precancerous tissue was removed and if any other growths have formed. He will also now have to get regular colonoscopies to see if there are any new polyps. Dr. Oz is very grateful that he did not put this procedure off like many people do and he believes this procedure saved his life. He will openly discuss the health scare on the season premiere.

Heidi And Spencer’s Divorce Scam And Sex Tape Lies

Heidi and Spencer
Heidi and Spencer have a big scam going from the recent reports of the separation and divorce all the way to the new reports of Spencer releasing a sex tape and that Heidi has been crying over it. Radaronline is revealing the multiples lies involved in Heidi and Spencer’s scam. The first lie involves Spencer blackmailing Heidi so that he can release a sex tape of her to Vivid Entertainment. Legal experts say that Heidi would have to consent to the release of the tape which means she is probably in on the deal with Spencer in which Heidi would profit on the deal as well. Also the duo has been acting as though they have been living separately since their split. Not true, a source states that the couple along with Cougar Zank have all been living in the same Malibu house all summer. The divorce papers and the separation papers that Heidi filed didn’t even have the correct marriage date on them. Another lie they are telling is that Heidi is stay out of the spotlight so that she can focus on herself and her career, she wants to star in movies now. The truth behind this though is that she was told if she isn’t photographed for a while when she does reemerge her photos will be worth a lot more. Everything that Heidi and Spencer do is very planned and orchestrated around media attention and making money since they don’t really have any talent.

Rolling Stone True Blood
Hitting newsstands today is the new issue of Rolling Stones featuring the naked and blood covered Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgard, and Stephen Moyer of the hit HBO show True Blood. The controversial covering is grabbing headlines because some believe it is too racy. This is not the first cover of Rolling Stones magazine that has had nudity though. Christina Aguilera was on the cover with a pair of boots a guitar and nothing else and recently Lady Gaga appeared on the cover mostly naked as well. I wonder if this cover is getting all the heat because of the fake blood splattered all over the characters. Either way this cover will be one of the greatest moments in Rolling Stones long nude history.

Mary Delgado Mugshot

Former ‘Bachelor’ star Mary Delgado who appeared in two seasons of the show was arrested Thursday morning in Tampa for Driving Under the Influence. She was pulled over at 12:45 a.m. according to the arrest report and she refused a blood alcohol test on the misdemeanor charge and was later released on a $500 bond. This is not the first run in with the law for Delgado who was The Bachelor winner during Byron Velvick’s season. Delgado 42, was also arrested back in 2007 on battery charges in which she was accused of punching Byron in the face.  The couple had appeared together on a ‘Bachelor’ reunion show the night before she was arrested for punching him. Apparently the audience was asked if Velvick should marry Delgado and behind her back Velvick shook his head no which sparked laughter from the audience. This incident may have been the cause for the fight later. The couple had become engaged on the show in 2004 but ended their relationship in 2009.
