Demi Moore Possible Substance Abuse
Its been a ruff couple of months for Demi Moore. With the cheating scandal featuring her soon to be ex hubby Ashton Kutcher. And to add insult to injury the hot tub-hopping pair (Kutcher and the other woman) did the deed on the eve of Kutcher and Moore's sixth wedding anniversary. Now, if that's not enough to drive one to allegedly drink (or to other alleged substances), I don't know what is. Now news is circulating that Moore was rushed to the hospital last Monday night due to problems relating to substance abuse.
Reports of Moore's alleged drinking problem are not new, and were in the news before her split with Kutcher last November. Some sources actually blamed Demi's drinking for the divorce — though personally I suspect that Kutcher's infamous wander-dong ranks a little higher on their list of marital troubles. Perhaps his philandering drove her to drink, though it could easily be the other way around. This is one messy chicken/egg dilemma.
It looks as though Demi may be headed for rehab in order to "seek further professional assistance," though there's no confirmation on what exactly the actress needs assistance with. TMZ spoke with Moore's reps who had this to say on the subject: "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 her family and friends."
"Exhaustion" has come to be a preferred Hollywood code word for drug and/or alcohol abuse, and it's a euphemism that nobody really buys anymore. At this point it'd be refreshing were a celeb to have his or her rep release an honest statement. It'd certainly say more about the pressures and pitfalls that come with fame — and more about alcoholism and drug abuse as a very difficult disease. Expect that kind of candor when pigs fly, I guess. That is, pigs other than Ashton Kutcher.

IT MUST BE 2012: THE INTERNET WILL BE BLACKED OUT!
(Courtesy of Much Music Blog)
Or gone dark. Or showing what it’s like if the free flow of cyber-information is ever interrupted. Which is apparently what might happen if a few senators in the U.S. Congress have their way. Sites like Wikipedia, Craigslist, The Huffington Post, Reddit, Tumblr and WordPress have united and “gone dark“, replacing their homepages with a black background and posting a message about SOPA and PIPA (more on those below). Other pages, like Google and Twitter, have altered their logos to be “blacked-out” or censored to join the movement.
And it’s censorship and ownership that they’re uniting to protect. Proposed laws in the United States, known as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) are coming down on sites that infringe on existing copyrights. For the most part, the blackout is just for today, but the fight will definitely be raging on afterwards.
Breaking copyright laws are bad, and none of these sites are saying otherwise. However, it’s policing these copyright infringements that are causing the uproar. Basically, if you even link to a site with copyrighted material (ex. link to a YouTube clip) your entire site could be shut down, blacklisted from search engines, and have it’s funding cut.
So, if the legislation of SOPA and PIPA go through, sites that allow the free flow of information would pretty much be a thing of the past. And that’s what they’re fighting. Photo sites, video sites, resource sites – they all benefit from being an unbiased flow of info.

Kim Kardashian's Life is a load of bull!
Kims heart-to-heart divorce talk with her mom staged? And so was her proposal from Kris Humphries?? How much more fake can someone get?!
Two Kardashian storys emerged recently! First being that an emotional heart-to-heart between Kim and Kris Jenner was all staged- all for an episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York. The second one? Kris Humphries told his family and friends that Kim planned his wedding proposal to her. Which was filmed for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Thats a little pathetic Kim.
In last Sunday's episode of the E! show, Kim and Kris Jenner were sitting in a limo, having an "emotional" talk about Kims short marriage to Kris Humphries. This supposedly happened in Dubai in October- to bad it was actually shot in December and inserted into the episode.
According to Reality Tea, On Dec.6, Kim and Kris were spotted leaving a TV studio; Kim was wearing the exact outfit, had the exact same hairstyle, and even the same earrings and in the scene that supposedly took place in Dubai in October. And Jenner was seen being followed out of the studio by an assistant carrying her purple dress from the scene.
Before last weeks episode aired, Humphries tweeted, "I cant wait for the truth to come out! People will be surprised or maybe they won't. #FCC" I dont know about ya'll but im not even a little surprised!
Humphries also saying the oh-so-romantic in which Kris spelt it out in rose petals, was planned by Kim!
A source says "Kim told Kris how, where and when to propose,it was absolutely no surprise to her whatsoever. First of all, Kris proposed in the middle of the day, and he had to do that because it would create better lighting to capture the moment. Kim looked so surprised but she knew it was happening. She was in full hair and makeup, as she always is on the show. Kris wanted it to be very intimate and romantic, but all of his ideas were shot down by production officials and Kim.”
We all thought they couldn't get any faker, but they have proved us wrong! Hollywoods fakest family gets even faker! Like realy! How pathetic!

Angelina freaks over Brad's baby drama
So just who is this mysterious "other" women? (you'll note that Star keeps that part hush-hush on the cover). Why its Brad's ex, Jennifer Aniston.
According to Star, this particular scandal started right after rumours surfaced that a famous Hollywood agent advised Jen to get some of Brad's sperm after he dumped her. For reason that aren't totally clear, Star's source claims that this story cause Angenlina to confront her better half about how close he and Jen came to conception during their marriage, and it all goes downhill form there.
First Brad played dumb, but eventually he admitted that he and Jen were once with child for about five seconds back in 2004. For whatever reason, this pregnancy didn’t go the distance, but apparently the simple fact that one of Brad's swimmers once resided in one of Jen’s eggs was enough to send Angelina off the handle.
“She had assumed all along that she was the only woman Brad had ever impregnated,” claims Star’s deep throat. “Now Angie is questioning everything, including whether she can ever trust Brad again.” Apparently Jolie feels “betrayed” by her partner’s dishonesty, the irony of which probably isn't lost on Jen.
Seriously, though, do we really think that Ange would kick up a fuss over a story that basically amounts to the fact that Brad was once married to another woman who he had sex with? Seems a little much even for her. And secondly, are we really buying that this is the first time the conversation has ever come up?

We all knew it wouldn't last...
Russell Brand filed for divorce from Katy Perry after only 14 months of marriage. Russell Brand has said he still 'adores' Katy despite filing for divorce.
In a sentimental statement he informed that the couple would be ending their marriage, but said he hoped that they would remain friends. Brand said in his statement 'Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends.'
His legal team filed court documents at the Superior Court in Los Angeles citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
The divorce documents, which refer to Perry by her given name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, show there are 'community property assest' suggesting there may not be a pre-nuptial agreement in place.
Perry is yet to comment on the split and there is some speculation she was blind-sided by Brand's official move to end their marriage. Is has been said that Brand didn't approve of Perry's partying lifestyle and new claims suggest that he told her to 'tone it down'
The pair sparked rumours of trouble after celebrating Christmas 7,000 miles apart -he spent the festive day in Cornwall while she was in Hawaii with friends.
