Jason Wahler Refutes LC Sex Tape Rumors Again

Jason Wahler is speaking out against Spencer Pratt’s most recent claims on national TV that a Lauren Conrad sex tape exists.

“I do not have a sex tape of Lauren Conrad and one does not exist,” Wahler said in a statement. “Spencer Pratt is lying again to get attention.”

“Lauren is my friend,” said Wahler, LC’s ex, who will be starring in the upcoming 22 and Taken. “It is insulting to her to suggest this.”

On Tuesday’s Tyra Banks Show, Spencer Pratt declared, “I know for 100 percent fact it did exist - 1,000 percent!”

Brace Yourselves: Ashlee Simpson Coming to Reality TV

Get ready for Newlyweds, 2.0.

Ashlee Simpson - and, we presume, fiance Pete Wentz - is following in her big-breasted sister’s footsteps with an upcoming reality show. Guess who came up with this genius idea.

“[Father Joe Simpson] knows that no one cared about [Jessica Simpson] before her reality show, and he’s hoping a show for Ashlee will have the same effect,” a source told OK!.

A record-industry insider added:

“She’s been struggling with record sales. Now that she’s really interesting again, a reality show could do wonders for her career. It’s a part of doing business for this family.”

She’s interesting again? Because she’s probably pregnant and getting married? Give us a break.



Reality TV Recaps: Hell’s Kitchen, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila

If you haven’t seen the video of Paula Abdul screwing up more than ever on American Idol, check it out now. Then, read through the following pair of reality TV recaps…

Hell’s Kitchen: This week’s challenge is to make pizza. Gordon Ramsay wants to put a gourmet pizza on the menu (but not one topped with truffles, because they cost approximately $9000 each). He gives the teams 45 minutes to come up with a gourmet pizza… — TV Squad

A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila: The final 18 arrive at the mansion in limos, pink and blue, natch. Chad is more excited to move into Tila than he is moving into the house, if you get his meaning. Michelle wants to bite Tila’s sexy Asian ass. They see the big bed, and Brittany promises to castrate any male genitalia in her face… — BuddyTV



Dancing with the Stars Votes Out Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth

There was twice the good news on Dancing with the Stars last night for fans of Cristian de la Fuente:

  1. His injured arm is okay;
  2. He’s still very much alive in the competition.

In a modest surprise, Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth were voted off the show this week. This might not be the worst news in the world for the tandem, though:

They are rumored to be dating. So more time alone can only be a good thing.

Derek and Shannon were joined in the bottom two by Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolan. Said Elizabeth on being eliminated:

“I’ve made a friend for life.”



Paula Abdul Ruins American Idol

Last night, the American Idol finalists sung two Neil Diamond songs each. After the first round of performances, they lined up on stage as the judges gave a quick critique of the opening renditions.

Paula Abdul initially criticized a lack of passion in the performance by Jason Castro… and then continued to bash the dreadlocked singer for his second song of the evening, WHICH HADN’T TAKEN PLACE YET!

As Randy, Ryan - and every American Idol producer, we’re sure - scrambled to cover for Abdul, she rambled something about reading her notes for David Cook’s audition by accident. But it was too late. The gaffe made it apparent that Paula actually reads notes based on the finalists’ rehearsals, not their actual performances.

Take a look and decide for yourself:

In reality, of course, American Idol will carry on for years despite Abdul’s flub last night. But will that insane judge be part of it in the future? Do you think she should be?

Let us know.



The Hills Stars Defend Miley Cyrus

Not everyone is bashing Miley Cyrus for stripping down in Vanity Fair.

“I think she’s a young girl in Hollywood, and she’s just having fun,” The Hills’ Heidi Montag told Extra. “[She]’s exploring herself.”

Added her boyfriend Spencer Pratt: “I didn’t think it was that bad. Supposedly, she’s wearing a top underneath. It’s artistic.”

Heidi Montag, Miley Cyrus

Seems that in defending Miley Cyrus, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and Lauren Conrad may finally have something to agree on!

When asked about the racy pics, Lauren Conrad said:

“I found it a bit silly. I thought she looked beautiful in the pictures. I didn’t find it that inappropriate.”

“Being young and in the spotlight is difficult,” LC added. “It’s a lot of pressure on her since she is a role model, but I think she’s doing a good job.”



Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez Break Up

This is bound to fuel speculation that Karina Smirnoff is dating season six partner, Mario.

After all, her and former Dancing with the Stars partner Mario Lopez have broken up, People Magazine reports.

A Couple No More

Even though, Lopez’s personal rep, said, “It’s my policy to not comment on my client’s personal life,” Smirnoff has been spotted recently with E! Entertainment personality Michael Yo. The two were seen dancing and canoodling at a recent event at Hollywood restaurant Beso.

Lopez, meanwhile, is starring in A Chorus Line on Broadway, and recently returned to the ballroom with 18 Chorus Line dancers to tape a synchronized number to air on Dancing’s 100th episode on May 6. That could be awkward.

** UPDATE: After this story came out, Karina Smirnoff said:

“We’re going on strong… For the record, I am not moving out. Everything is great.”



Ambre Lake Update: Dating Bret Michaels and… That’s It

Bret and AmbreOn a recent MySpace blog, Ambre Lake claimed there was no Rock of Love 3 in the works. She didn’t make any far fetched assumptions that her and Bret Michaels were getting married, either, though.

“We are dating and as we both discussed on the reunion show we are not disillusioned,” Ambre wrote. “Don’t think we’re going to run off and get married.  We are dating in the ‘real’ world and just seeing where things will go.”

Regarding the Daisy and Heather cat fight, during the show’s reunion special, Ambre didn’t offer any new insight:

“I know there has been a lot of animosity between the two of them and I can understand that, but I just feel it was unfortunate that it had to become physical.”

In closing, Ambre said she’s been venturing into various projects to further her television career. She didn’t offer much detail, however.

“I have been traveling doing some appearances and auditioning like crazy for upcoming projects,” she wrote.  “I will keep you guys posted on new things as they come along.”
