Reggie Bush reportedly 'cut up' over ex Kim Kardashian's engagement to Kris Humphries (or so someone says)

Kim Kardashian's ex Reggie Bush Kim Kardashian's ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush is reportedly down and out over the news of Kardashian's engagement to NBA player Kris Humphries.

The New Orleans Saints running back backed out from the Wednesday launch party for the Gumball Rally 3000 in London, Life & Style reported.

"We heard Kim got engaged, so we think that's why [Reggie] didn't turn up," a party-goer overheard Bush's teammate Cody Green tell a friend at the party. "He must be pretty cut up. He sounded like he was, and that was why he didn't make it down." (Third-hand information alert!)

Kardashian and Bush began dating in 2007 and were together for two years but broke up because of lifestyle conflicts, with the reality-TV starlet constantly being tracked by papz and the football player traveling for games and living in New Orleans. Their issues were chronicled on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." The pair reunited briefly in 2010 before ending the relationship for good soon after -- despite engagement rumors.  

This will be Kardashian's second marriage -- her secret 2000 nuptials to music producer Damon Thomas ended in 2003 with allegations of abuse being slung against Thomas. Kardashian shot to fame in 2007 when a sex tape of her and singer Ray J surfaced. She's since been able to recover from the onslaught of criticism, and after her relationship with Bush ended, she began dating Humphries in December 2010. He popped the question six months later.

Kim Kardashian engaged to Kris Humphries In the upcoming season of her reality show, Kardashian and sister Khloe Kardashian (Mrs. Lamar Odom) are fighting because the family doesn't want to get attached to another one of the middle Kardashian's beaus. But now, Kardashian's younger sister is singing a different tune, already planning the upcoming nuptials.

"It's going to be royal wedding number two," Khloe Kardashian told E! "I could only imagine Kim having the hugest wedding."

The rest of the family has embraced Humphries too, though the two families haven't formally met yet.

"Kris is a great guy, and I really like him," Kardashian's step-dad Bruce Jenner told Life & Style. "He's just different for Kim. He's just a solid guy from Minnesota. There doesn't seem to be too much drama with him. I think he's a good match for her."

"He gets along with every single one of us, and that is not easy to do," Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, told People. "When you date one of us, you date all of us. We're all going out with Kris."

"I haven't seen her this peaceful and content and over the moon, ever! That makes me happy. When your kids are happy, you're happy," she added.

Tough cookies, Damon, Ray J and Reggie.

Kardashian, who was spotted sporting her 20.5-carat engagement ring at LAX on Thursday, is vacationing in Monaco to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix with Humphries and his family. Perhaps she's picking up a few royal-wedding tips from Princess Grace's home along the way.

Do you think Bush is devastated over Kardashian's engagement? Is Humphries the right fit for her? Tell us in comments.

Emily Maynard makes 'Bachelor' Brad Womack a bachelor once again

'Bachelor' breakup: Brack Womack and Emily Maynard "The Bachelor's" Brad Womack and fiancee Emily Maynard have called it quits, with recent photos of Maynard's bare ring finger tipping off the breakup.  

Womack, 38, who had appeared on a previous season and infamously picked neither finalist in the finale, proposed to the 25-year-old single mom in November 2010. The two have (clearly) hit rough patches since. 

Maynard initiated the breakup because the long-distance relationship wasn't working and she had no plans to leave Charlotte, N.C., with her 5-year-old daughter to move to Womack's native Austin, Texas, Us Weekly reported. The report says the heartbroken bachelor repeatedly drunk-dialed her.

The onetime rose-vying Maynard was out and about in Charlotte last week, sans ring, which is said to have been returned to ABC. The network that airs "The Bachelor" had sprung for the stunner, not Womack, who owns a bar (with a handy phone, we presume). 

What do you think of Womack's and Maynard's breakup -- could you see it coming? Tell us in comments.

'Jersey Shore's' Ronnie and The Situation reportedly brawl in Italy

Ronnie and Situation fight
"Jersey Shore's" Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino got into an all-out fistfight in Italy, according a report.

Though the cause of the Monday night brawl is unclear, it may have been sparked by a fight between Ronnie's on-again, off-again girlfriend Sammie Giancola, TMZ reported. All that Ron-Ron Juice must have gotten him amped because Sitch got pummeled quite a bit. We imagine their cameramen got it all on tape.

Jersey Shore cast in Italy Ronnie's knuckles were cut and bleeding and Sitch's eye was surrounded by red marks poorly concealed by a hoodie, the site reported. The two arrived separately at their apartment hours after the brawl. See the photos here.

The Situation has earned a reputation as "The Snitchuation" on the show because of his frequent tattletale tactics and instigating innuendos. Some "Shore" fans have probably been waiting for this moment for a while, but we're not sure if that warrants a beating.

The cast is shooting the fourth season of the hard-partying MTV reality show in their ancestral land, filming the series in Florence, Italy's Renaissance City. And Ronnie and Sitch aren't the only ones wreaking havoc in the old country.

Deena Cortese, the self-proclaimed "blast in a glass," was spotted plunging into Florence's Arno river after climbing a ledge, and the cast has incited a crosstown pizza battle, according to the New York Post. Florence's Mayor Matteo Renzi has barred the meatball-lovers from filming in bars, clubs and drinking in public. They also can't film at historic landmarks like the Uffizi Gallery and Boboli Gardens.

It remains to be seen how that will affect the next season.

Do you think "The Situation" deserved his beating? How do you think the next season of "Jersey Shore" will compare to previous seasons? Tell us in comments.

Will Smith upsets SoHo neighbors with super-sized trailer

Will Smith has upset Soho neighbors with his huge star trailer.

Will Smith is taking some heat from his new SoHo neighbors. It turns out they don't want him parking his super-sized trailer on their residential streets while he shoots "Men in Black III."

Smith is reportedly paying $9,000 per week for the 1,150-square-foot luxury trailer, according to the New York Post. Isn't that bigger than the average New York City rental? Well, he would know -- the actor is also renting a $25,000 per month apartment in the same neighborhood.

The double-decker trailer includes a large bedroom with a granite bathroom, a full-service kitchen with cherry cabinetry, marble flooring, office space for assistants, a meeting room for up to 30, a lounge and a movie room. The 53-foot trailer is actually one of two -- he has a 55-foot mobile gym onsite as well.

"This thing is like a duplex," neighbor Myrna Reisman, 62, told the Post. "How would Will Smith feel if I parked that thing out in front of his house? People forget this is a residential neighborhood, not a film lot -- that thing is taking up half our gasoline reserve."

If Reisman wants the trailer gone, she may well get her wish. The mayor's office has stepped in and asked the "Men in Black III" production to move it.

"New York City is currently experiencing record levels of film and television production," Julianne Cho with the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting told CNN. "To balance the interests of the production and the neighborhood, we have instructed "Men in Black III" to relocate the trailer to a private lot."

Justin Bieber fires back at Marg Helgenberger for 'brat' comment; smooches Selena Gomez

Marg Helgenberger and Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber
has yet to make a Belieber out of Marg Helgenberger, the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" actress who said the Biebs was a "brat" when he guest starred on the CBS show.

Helgenberger, who plays investigator Catherine Willows on the series, recently dished to the radio station Europe 1 when she was asked how it was to work with the pop star.

"I shouldn't be saying this, but he was kind of a brat," Helgenberger said. "He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet, and he put his fist through a cake that was on the cast's table."

OK, diva much?

Bieber appeared on two episodes of "CSI," playing bad boy Jason McCann. Maybe he was just getting into character? When asked if she thought he was a good actor, Helgenberger gave a safer answer.

"Justin Bieber wasn't bad. But he'd never acted before.... He's better than you'd think," she said.

But the "Never Say Never 3D" star seems to think he was better than that.

"it's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind," he tweeted Monday, adding "dont spread gossip and dont spread rumors about others...im a kid and i know that. #respect"

But he didn't stop there.

"I know who i am and sometimes people r just going 2 say what they want. Keep ur head up and be the man ur mama raised. #killemwithkindness," he wrote, which, yet again, led to the hashtag becoming a top trend on the micro-blogging site.

Lindsay Lohan pulled back into the 'Gotti' movie game

 

Lindsay Lohan at a Gotti film press conference Just when we thought she was out, Lindsay Lohan pulled herself back in -- back into the cast of the upcoming John Gotti biopic starring John Travolta, that is.

Lohan was taken out of consideration to play Gotti Sr.'s daughter Victoria in "Gotti: Three Generations," executive producer Marc Fiore said Wednesday morning. But only a few hours later, Fiore announced that Lilo was back on board, albeit shifted to the role of John Gotti Sr.'s daughter-in-law Kim Gotti.

Seems Fiore wasn't blowing smoke when he initially said, "She's a wonderful person. Her legal case has nothing to do with it. We just couldn't reach terms." According to TMZ, the disagreements were with Lohan's management team, but the actress got back on the project by reaching out to Fiore personally. 

Sounds like a lotta "Gotti" goodwill -- because of course this couldn't be ingenious marketing, could it?

Incidentally, Kim Kardashian's name was originally floated for the Kim Gotti role; despite Lohan's surprising current resemblance to Victoria, a blond, she has in fact rocked darker locks in recent memory.

'The Hangover Part II' trailer: Ken Jeong invited to Ed Helms' bachelor party

"The Hangover Part II" trailer hit the interwebs this week, giving viewers a sampling of the plotline in the upcoming mysterio-comedy filmed largely in Thailand. The boys are back, which means trouble is not far behind.

The film's bachelor is Ed Helms' Stu, whose fiancee (Jamie Chung, not Heather Graham) asks him to take her little brother to enjoy the last-single-man-night festivities. And it's her brother who goes missing this time, not Doug (Justin Bartha), who is on hand for the mayhem along with Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ken Jeong (the infamous Mr. Chow of the first installment). Apparently, Jeong is Alan's (Galifianakis) plus-one in this adventure. A little monkey replaces the tiger and baby as the critter and cutie in the sequel.

For those concerned about the sequel living up to the original, you're not alone. Cooper is with you, and Helms says there won't be a three-quel.

Mike Tyson and Liam Neeson will also appear in the Todd Phillips film, which hits theaters May 26.

Britney Spears announces tour with Enrique Iglesias, then Enrique Iglesias drops out of Britney Spears tour [video]

Britney Spears-Enrique tour canceled

This post has been corrected. See the note below for details.

When you're Britney Spears, drama always seems to find you. The singer dropped her seventh album, "Femme Fatale," Tuesday and announced her joint tour with Enrique Iglesias on "Good Morning America" the same day. But hours later, Iglesias dropped out of the tour.

Woe is Britney.

The "Hold It Against Me" singer teased fans via Twitter, writing: "Can't wait for you guys to see my GMA concert from San Francisco tomorrow morning plus a special tour announcement afterwards."

The announcement came and went, and Spears and Iglesias were set to kick off their North American tour June 17 in Sacramento, playing 26 arenas in the first round of dates, according to Billboard. But the Spanish singer backed out soon after the announcement.

"Enrique didn't need to do a tour with Britney, as he's already on a sold-out tour," a source close to Iglesias told Us Magazine. "At the end of the day it was better for him to just continue his own tour."

Despite the "GMA" announcement, "the deal was not done," the source added. "It was strictly a business matter.... It had nothing to do with Enrique's ego or having a problem with opening. It was always a co-headlining tour.... In fact, Enrique prefers to perform first, as he doesn't like to perform late in the night."

So maybe Spears just jumped the gun?

In an unrelated matter, we do know that she upset radio and television personality Carson Daly by refusing to do a live interview with the Amp'd Radio DJ.

"I was jst TOLD my @britneyspears interview tomm on @ampradio MUST b pre-recorded & submitted 4 approval by HER mgmt b4 it can air!" he tweeted, adding an expletive. 

Daly has known Spears for most of her professional career, going all the way back to the MTV "TRL" days.

"never that restricted. Even when I interviewed Michael Jackson, it wasn't anything like this...it's really insane," he wrote later in response to some angry followers. "I'M UNPROFESSIONAL? FAKING AN ENTIRE INTERVIEW?"

And some of us thought Kevin Federline getting girlfriend Victoria Prince pregnant was the big Britney-related news of the day.

What's up with Brit-Brit? Let us know in comments.

For the record, 5:05 p.m. April 8: The photo caption below originally said the picture of Britney Spears was from a March 27, 2010, "Good Morning America" appearance. Spears was photographed at a March 27, 2011, concert. The footage aired March 29. The caption has been revised.

PREACH IT! Introducing the Lindsay Lohan-Michael Lohan fallout pool!

Lindsay Lohan and Michael Lohan

Congratulations to Lindsay Lohan and her dad Michael: The two have reconciled after years of estrangement. It couldn't have been easy for Lindsay to agree to see her dad, given her father’s fondness for parading in front of the press, moaning about his daughter's waywardness.

Still, signs of a rapprochement have been in the air for a while. A few weeks before the two reunited in Rancho Mirage at the Betty Ford Center -- where Lohan is cooped up in rehab -- Michael issued a supposedly final note to the media. We won't subject you to it here, but the gist was that Michael would no longer, you know, be parading in front of the press moaning about his daughter's waywardness.

Lindsay, meanwhile, has allowed the thaw in relations as a part of her general recovery.

We sincerely hope that the recovery part sticks. But we can't help but wonder how long the father-daughter reunion will last, given that Michael is as addicted to media attention as Lindsay is to -- well, we'll leave that detail to her counselors.

So how long do you think the thaw will last? Let us know in the comments below. We'll call it a pool. And the winner -- if there is one -- will get a shout out from the Ministry.

Oksana Grigorieva didn't tell doctor Mel Gibson hit Lucia, says pediatrician who says she saw no sign of injury

Oksana Grigorieva and Mel GibsonJust days after Mel Gibson was ordered by a family court judge to pay the back child support he owes Oksana Grigorieva, a sworn declaration has surfaced in which Lucia's pediatrician says she saw no injury on the child during an exam the day after an argument in which Grigorieva alleges Gibson hit them both.

Nor did Grigorieva mention any injury during the Jan. 7 visit, Dr. Linda Nussbaum said in a June 24 document published Friday by TMZ. A picture of an allegedly injured Lucia surfaced at the same time as recordings of the actor ranting at his ex-girlfriend; Team Mel maintains that photo was doctored.

"If I had observed any symptoms that indicated injury or abuse or if Ms. Grigorieva had raised the issue of injury or abuse, I would have certainly noted those details in my records," Nussbaum said. "I would have also reported any allegations of parental abuse to social services."

The judge on Wednesday ordered Gibson to pay three months' worth of child support that he'd been withholding until it was clarified whether $6,000 a month spent on Oksana's rent could be deducted from the $20,000-a-month payment. That was clarified to be a no, according to People.

Dad currently gets Lucia three days a week, with one overnight visit. Whether the baby is left with a nanny on the overnights was reportedly an issue at the Wednesday hearing.

Investigators are still looking into extortion allegations against Grigorieva but have given prosecutors their findings about domestic violence allegations leveled against Gibson.

In other Mel tidbits, he was photographed Thursday smoking a cigarette — and can you blame him, given that all this drama was allegedly transpiring when he was trying to quit back in January?
