Celebrity Gossip and Photos

Tyra Banks is coming to Gossip Girl this fall.

Little is known about the appearance by the Tyra Banks Show and America’s Next Top Model host at this time, but she is said to be “putting on her acting shoes.”

Does that means she’ll be playing an actual part, rather than appearing as herself? If so, Gossip Girl is flirting pretty hard with stunt casting (and shark jumping).

Banks becomes the latest high-profile guest star to be announced for the hit show, which recently signed Hilary Duff for a multi-episode role as a college student.

Looks like Tyra is striving to annoy peeps on as many CW programs as possible. Here’s hoping this part is a one-take roll with her barely visible in the background.

Are you excited for Tyra Banks on Gossip Girl?

Both Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have publicly maintained that cheating had nothing to do with their split earlier this week. In fact, “nobody cheated” was pretty much the only quote they gave to Us Weekly. But methinks the couple doth protest too much! Radar Online says

Cheating charges are flying BOTH WAYS in the relationship now.

Fox News broke the story that Reggie saw text messages from Kanye West on Kim’s phone and “flipped out.” The messages were [reportedly] more than just friendly.

Now a sexy Latino model in Miami is claiming she had a [months-long] affair with Reggie that included hookups in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Miami and X-rated texts and phone messages, and [she] has been threatening to take her story public to the highest bidding magazine.

Kim was aware of the model’s charges and furious about it. The model did have video of herself in Bush’s house.

I just hope Reggie had the foresight to pee all over the model in the video. That way he and Kim could put aside their differences and get a “Wet ‘n Wild” sex tape box set in the works. I think I know a “golden” idea when I hear one!

Kevin Federline has always known how to keep it classy.

Last night, he hit the aptly-named Wasted Space at the Hard Rock Hotel with girlfriend Victoria Prince, his entourage and VH1 reality show cameras in tow.

Two things:

1. Yes, he is actually getting a new reality show.
2. You have to love this obvious, classic quote:

“Kevin looked noticeably heavier,” a source tells E! News.

That’s the kind of insight you can’t get except from an eyewitness, people. But that’s not even what we’re reporting on regarding K-well-Fed today.

Kevin Federline and Victoria Prince? Money? Please.

Kevin may be living large on a multiple levels, but that doesn’t mean he’s a good tipper. Despite getting comped two bottles of Grey Goose, Federline stiffed all the servers at the club at the end of the night for no apparent reason.

But at least he had fun: “At one point, Kevin got on stage with the Sin City Sinners and hyped the crowd, bragging that he was intoxicated,” a source says.

Kevin Federline, Victoria Prince and their entourage left around 3 a.m. to go party elsewhere, presumably without paying anything. That’s the good life.

In late June, Stephen Moyer referred to Robert Pattinson as a very bad word.

Now, Entertainment Weekly is stoking the fire of this red hot feud by pitting the actors against one another on the cover of its latest issue.

Based on the success of the Twilight Saga and True Blood, the magazine asks why pop culture is currently embracing this genre with such enthusiasm.

“The traditional vampire story, with monsters and victims, chases and chills, is plain fun,” Alan Ball, a producer on True Blood, said in response to this question.

“But they can often reveal the general state of the cultural psyche.”

Hollywood isn’t done with sucking up the public’s taste for blood, either. This fall, The Vampire Diaries premieres on The CW.

This all started years ago, however, as Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt made hearts melt in Interview with the Vampire, the 1994 movie that helped launch the career of both these A-listers.

Michael Jackson has been dead a whole month. That means it’s totally time to anoint someone the new King of Pop, and Kanye West thinks he knows just the guy:

Kanye West.

Okay, not really. But would you be surprised?

This is all a sham, as Scrape TV made up a faux interview in which it quoted West as saying so. And as with some satirical jokes that just hit too close to home, the Onion-esque story was picked up as legit by multiple sources.

Ace Showbiz, Celebuzz, the Superficial and a handful of other news sites all reported Kanye’s claims as fact. While that’s shoddy reporting, and the joke on them, it shows what an egomaniac Kanye West is that this would be blindly accepted:

Despite what some celeb gossip sites are reporting, Kanye West made no quotes about being the new King of Pop. But he probably did think it. [Photos: Fame Pictures]

“You know everyone loves and respects Michael, but times change,” the humble star said. “It’s sad to see Michael gone, but it makes a path for a new King of Pop.”

“I’m willing to take that on. There’s nobody who can match me in sales and in respect, so it only makes sense for me to take the crown and become the new King.”

“First there was Elvis, then Michael, now in the 21st century it’s Kanye’s time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael, but someone needs to pick up where he left off, and there’s nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop.”

Unfortunately, these quotes are all made up. Reports of him hooking up with Kim Kardashian and sparking her breakup with Reggie Bush? Less clear.
