Kim Kardashian 'Totally Fine' After Attacked by Jealous and Drunk Lady

Kim Kardashian convinced her fans that she's "totally fine" after she was entangled in a bar fight at NYC's Juliet Supper Club on Thursday, October 7. "I want to address this because everyone has been asking me if I'm ok after the bar fight last night. I'm totally fine, guys!" the 29-year-old reality TV star wrote on her blog.

Later on, Kim explained that she was at that time accompanied by sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian as well Kourtney's lover and baby father Scott Disick as they intended to have a fun night. However, the fun turned into a wild one.

"A drunk male fan came up to me and asked to take a picture, and I obliged, but his girlfriend, who was also drunk, got a little out of hand," Kim recalled. "Luckily I had Scott and Khloe there to protect me. None of us were drinking."

Kim believed that the drunk lady wanted to have a publicity stunt. "We just wanted a fun family night out, but when people see the cameras rolling, they try to get attention and I guess that's what happened when the drunk girl saw that we were filming KKTNY ('Kourtney and Kim Take New York'). I always take the high road, so we all left straight after and didn't feed into their drama," Kim claimed.

Though Kim only mentioned the girl trying to lay her hand on her, an eyewitness told Us Magazine that the drunk lady's boyfriend, who wished to have a picture with the star, also wanted more than that. The onlooker said, "He was groping her, trying to pull her close. Scott got really defensive of Kim when the guy groped her... things escalated and Scott punched him. Security came and broke it up."

Nicole Scherzinger Uncomfortable With Pussycat Dolls' Sexy Outfit

Nicole Scherzinger felt uncomfortable in her early days as a scantily clad The Pussycat Dolls member - because the band's racy stage costumes were a far cry from her own "conservative" wardrobe.

The girl group originated as a burlesque dance troupe, known for its members' sexy outfits. But lead singer Scherzinger admits she'd never seen anything like them growing up in Louisville, Kentucky - and she felt uncomfortable baring so much flesh onstage.

She tells Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine, "Growing up, I was very conservative in my wardrobe, so when I first joined the Pussycat Dolls, the biggest challenge was wearing those cabaret costumes. I didn't feel comfortable showing my body so much, showing my legs and butt, chest and midriff."

"I wasn't used to it so I had to really grow as a woman and learn to accept myself and my body, find that inner confidence and strength and love myself for who I was."

Tila Tequila Loses Bid to Stop Her Sex Tape Release

U.S. reality TV star Tila Tequila has lost her legal fight to stop release of a sex tape she made with a boyfriend several years ago - a judge has rejected her request for an injunction. According to TMZ, the star, real name Tila Nguyen, filed for an injunction to stop the release of the explicit video, made during a holiday with a boyfriend more than seven years ago.

Her lawyer claimed the tape is an invasion of her privacy and a misappropriation of her image. But a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge rejected the argument on Thursday, October 7, noting "Tila exploits her sexuality".

The judge also ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to issue a restraining order against the star's ex, whose name has not been released. Tila rose to fame as a popular internet pin-up on MySpace, and has since become known as the bisexual star of U.S. reality dating show "A Shot At Love".

Killer Croc Could Be 'Batman 3' Villain

Rumor has it, Christopher Nolan's third "Batman" film will feature Killer Croc as the villain. The rumor surfaces after there was a report that the movie will be shot in New Orleans and comics writer Mark Millar tweeted, "Oh, wait. Con gossip: I know who the villain(s) are in Batman 3 and the big scene outside Gotham sounds awesome. Totally timely locale."

Slash Film then connects the dots, suggesting that Killer Croc is the one hinted by Millar because the deformed crocodile wrestler resides at the Louisiana swamps. Additionally, Miller claimed, "One of the villains is from my favourite childhood run on the character," which would fit Killer Croc since it first appeared in 1983, when the author was still a teen.

In the comic books, Killer Croc is described as having low intelligence but great strength, as well as crocodilian abilities, such as a keen sense of smell and the ability to hold his breath underwater for long periods of time.

He, however, is not the first character mentioned as possible villain for the untitled Batman 3 project. Previously, The Riddler has been widely rumored to appear in the upcoming movie with several actors, like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, thrown as the possible depicter.

Christopher Nolan will return to the helming position for the superhero action movie, with a script provided by his brother Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer. Christian Bale is expected to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne aka Batman when the movie starts shooting reportedly in April 2011 for a targeted July 20, 2012 U.S. release.

Though clubbers seemingly didn't notice Robert and Kristen, the venue's staff were aware and "willing to accommodate their needs if needed." And the rumored lovers apparently enjoyed the clubber's unawareness as they were reportedly "very close to each other with Kristen in front of Rob almost all night."

The source again stressed that Robert and Kristen were extremely close the entire time that night. "It looked like they were both enjoying the music but it was Kristen who enjoyed it the most as she was seen singing the songs and there were times she sang songs to Rob, while Rob just smiled and laughed that Kristen was loving it!" the source claimed.

Despite having time together with no one noticing them, Robert and Kristen preferred enjoying the music performance rather than finding a corner to talk privately. An insider said, "They were seen laughing and enjoying the time they were there, never once caused a scene and were fully vibing with the band."

Robert and Kristen, who have been romantically linked since playing in "Twilight" movie series, were also spotted having dinner at SoHo House in West Hollywood on Saturday night, October 2. And two days after, the two were again photographed leaving Los Angeles Italian restaurant Ago on Melrose, on Monday night, October 4.

Endhiran (Robot), the sci-fi melodrama vs. Anjaana Anjaani, the total rom- com, has both done great business in the first weekend, enabling the filmmakers of both the sleek flicks to go out with broad smiling faces all the way to the bank.

Reports doing the rounds say that Endhiran or Robot, has done extremely good business in the southern sector with an amazing collection of Rs.100 crores. But, in the Hindi version, it did not do much well, but still, it did rake in Rs.7 crore.

Anjaana Anjaani, on the other hand, has done considerably well taking into account the postponement of the project and the CWG games going on in full swing! However, its great collections did not allow the film makers to feel low; rather they are an extremely happy lot!

Amazingly, Anjaana Anjaani, has been able to collect an astounding amount of Rs. 24 crores, and also has reportedly, earned quite an astounding figure from the satellite rights.

Anjaana Anjaani, the flick which is being basically considered as a teen film, has managed to entice the audiences for its totally new approach, contemporary settings, stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra enacting believable characters with problems similar to the ones faced by the contemporary youth.

Oksana Grigorieva Believes Mel Gibson Would 'Kill' Her

Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has opened up about their turbulent relationship in a shocking new interview, insisting she feared for her life during an alleged altercation with the star in January.

The couple's relationship ended in April and the split subsequently turned nasty as they fought for custody of their young daughter, Lucia. Tape recordings of their bitter arguments hit the internet and the Russian singer accused the "Lethal Weapon" actor of beating her and knocking out her teeth during a violent altercation early this year.

Grigorieva has now spoken candidly about the alleged events of that fateful night in an interview with People magazine. She claims she was more concerned about the safety of their baby girl after the tot was inadvertently scratched during the incident.

She recalls, "He just hit me twice with the fist. Boom, boom, to my head and my mouth. I fell on top of the bed. I'm just covering the baby and not protecting myself... Everything was happening very fast... I was scared for my life and my daughter's." Grigorieva insists she refused to contact cops for help after allegedly being threatened by Gibson: "I thought he would kill me... That's one (reason). Two, I was just assaulted. I was shaking."

The singer alleges Gibson often flew into jealous rages and once brandished a gun in front of her, and she felt the need to "document his threats." She also claims he suffered serious mood swings during their relationship and even talked about suicide.

She adds, "(He was) depressed. He would've killed himself many times if he wasn't Catholic, (but he's) afraid of hell." Grigorieva blames the actor's "drunk rage" for his problems and insists he's an "untreated alcoholic" who needs help.

She says, "I'm not angry at him. For the sake of Lucia, I really want him to be well. He has to have the courage to be responsible for what he's done... (I am) standing up to a bully who is very rich and famous."

Man Who Has Seen Tiger Woods and Devon James' Sex Tape Calls It 'Very Dirty'

On September 29, porn star Devon James revealed her plan to shop a sex tape of her and Tiger Woods although some sides doubted her allegation. However, a man has now stated that the alleged explicit footage is indeed existing as he has seen it himself.

The man, who asked to remain anonymous, told Radar Online that the X-rated video is "very dirty." He said, "I've seen the tape and it's Tiger Woods playing a few holes. He can be pretty dirty... in fact, he is dirty! Mr. Tiger's smile is unmistakable... it's definitely his face."

Just like other people might feel, the viewer admitted that he was also skeptical about the sex tape at first. He explained, "Because of her (Devon's) past I thought, 'There's no way she actually has a tape,' but then I saw it with my own eyes and couldn't believe it."

The man further shared that the alleged sex tape was filmed in a Florida condo back in 2008 and it had to be pieced together before the alleged video could be sold or distributed online as there were several clips. The source added, "I kind of think Tiger's had enough and he's trying to pull his life back together. But when I saw the video and there it was right in front of me, my jaw just hit the floor."

Moreover, a newly launched website - TigerTapeXXX.com - claims to have the Devon and Tiger's alleged sex tape, which is reportedly 62 minutes long, and release it in the matter of days. The site currently only offers a graphic of Devon in a skimpy outfit with a background of an actual tiger. The site announces, "Preorder here only!! Starting October 15."

Brad Pitt Reportedly Still Hides Smoking Habit From Angelina Jolie

Despite their longtime relationship, it turned out that Brad Pitt still hides something from Angelina Jolie. According to Life & Style's Scene Queen, the "Inglourious Basterds" actor still secretly smokes behind Jolie's back.

"Smoking cigarettes is something Brad has done for many, many years and he smoked when he was married to Jennifer Aniston," an insider close to Pitt told the site. "It is one of the very few things he still does once in a while that he once did with his ex-wife."

Jolie, however, was said a bit understanding about Pitt's smoking habit although the "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" actress insists to keep it under their children's radar. An insider said, "Angie allows the smoking as long as it really doesn't affect her or the kids, but she doesn't love it. Brad never smokes around the children and keeps it far away from his family, but it's a habit he still enjoys occasionally."

Pitt himself once admitted that he is scared if Jolie, who thought he has quit smoking, will catch him doing it. During a past interview with Entertainment Weekly, the "Moneyball" actor admitted, "Actually, I'm less worried about the paparazzi catching me than someone, ahem, who doesn't know I still smoke once in awhile."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie began involved romantically after they starred together in 2005 film"Mr and Mrs Smith". Pitt was at that time still married to Jennifer Aniston who later filed for divorce in the same year. Jolie confirmed her romance with Pitt when she, in January the following year, announced that she was pregnant with Brad's kid.

Video: Selena Gomez Says She Wants to Cut Justin Bieber's Hair

Selena Gomez might make Justin Bieber's legion of fans upset for saying this. During a recent brief chat with Radio Disney host Jake Whetter, the "A Year Without Rain" singer said that she really wants to cut Bieber's signature hair.

On why she wanted to do so, Gomez explained that Bieber always shakes his head to flick his locks from his face almost in every 45 seconds during their conversation. The "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over" actress even imitated Bieber when he does that.

Gomez, however, believed that it wasn't the hair that makes Bieber so popular. Gomez told Whette, "He's got game. He knows what he's doing." And when the host repeated her remark, she once again said in her serious look, "Yes he does. He knows exactly what he's doing."

And Gomez wasn't the first and the only person who wants to cut Bieber's perfectly-groomed locks. Back in May, Bieber was forced to respond quickly when Ellen DeGeneres, on her "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", grabbed scissors out of her pocket and tried to cut it a bit, jokingly telling the viewers about her plan to sell the hair on eBay.

Coming from acclaimed horror filmmakers Wes Craven, "My Soul to Take" begins with a legend in Riverton which says that a serial killer will return to the town to murder the seven children that were born the night he allegedly died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again, making them question if the psychopath has been reincarnated as one of them.

Bug was supposed to die on the bloody night his father went insane. Unaware of his dad's terrifying crimes, he has been plagued by nightmares since he was a baby. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that's returned, he must face an evil that won't rest... until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.

Max Thieriot stars as Bug with Paulina Olszynski, John Magaro, Denzel Whitaker, Emily Meade and many more among the cast ensemble. This horror thriller will hit 3-D theaters on October 8.

'Transformers 3' Extra Suing Paramount After Injured on Set

A family of "Transformers 3" extra, Gabriela Cedillo, who was injured on the set has taken legal action against Paramount Pictures regarding the accident. Her brother Adolfo Romo has filed a lawsuit against the studio on Tuesday, October 5, citing negligence, Radar Online reports.

The documents mention that numerous mechanical and procedural malfunctions caused the incident. It subsequently accused those involved in the production for failing "to properly weld the metal bracket to the stunt car" and "to provide adequate safety precautions," and allowing "untrained extras to drive their own vehicles within close proximity to a violent stunt."

"We filed a case this morning in Chicago and made a request for a jury trial," Cedillo's attorney Todd A. Smith tells Radar Online. Romo, in total, is seeking money in excess of $50,000 on counts of negligence against seven companies and individuals involved. Smith adds, "All of these entities played a role in some respect as to what happened."

Cedillo herself has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago on Friday, October 1. "She's unable to speak and is paralyzed on her left side... It looks like she has vision loss in the left eye, which is sewn shut because there's a paralysis associated with that and they don't want her eye to dry out," the attorney details her condition. "Gabriela is somewhat responsive and the family is hopeful that she will continue to take these small strides."

As reported before, Cedillo was driving a car when stunt vehicles being towed by flatbed trucks drove in the opposite lane in excess of 50 miles per hour, as part of a stunt being filmed on September 1 in Chicago for "Transformers 3". The cable towing one of the stunt cars came loose, whipping through Cedillo's car window and striking her in the head.

Paramount recently offers their sympathy regarding the accident, stating "Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with Gabriela, her family and loved ones. The production will continue to provide all the help we can to Gabriela and her family during this difficult time." Due to the incident, the filming in Chicago was wrapped earlier and was not rescheduled.

"Transformers 3", which is directed by Michael Bay and starring Shia LaBeouf, still sticks to its U.S. release schedule of July 1, 2011.

Leona Lewis Thinks Lady GaGa's Meat Dress 'Gross'

Staunch vegetarian Leona Lewis has criticized Lady GaGa for wearing a dress made of meat - branding the outfit "gross". The "Bleeding Love" hitmaker is a dedicated animal rights campaigner, and even banned meat from her recent tour.

And Lewis admits she was stunned when she saw Lady GaGa walk the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards last month in a gown made entirely of slabs of beef. She tells X magazine, "It was gross! I don't even like walking past a meat counter - so it's not my sort of dress. And I won't have meat all over my body."

GaGa has defended her decision to wear the controversial outfit, insisting she didn't mean any "disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian".

Michael Jackson Agreed to Help Cover Father's Living Expenses

Michael Jackson paid his mother Katherine an extra $16,000-a-month to help support his father Joe Jackson in the years leading up to his death, according to new legal documents. The King of Pop's financial records have come under scrutiny after Joe filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the singer's embattled physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, following allegations the medic administered a fatal dose of the anesthetic Propofol.

He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and is awaiting a preliminary hearing in January 2011 to determine if he will face trial. But the Jackson patriarch is seeking unspecified damages from Murray, and new papers recently filed in a Los Angeles court suggest Michael agreed to the increased payment to his mum to help cover Joe's living expenses.

A sworn statement submitted by Michael's alleged former manager, Leonard Rowe, claims Katherine acted as the late star's agent and handed over cash to Joe, according to TMZ. Other court documents, including a declaration from Joe's lawyer Brian Oxman, stated the "Thriller" hitmaker was paying Katherine 50,000 pound sterling in the early 2000s, but later upped the amount to $66,000, to take care of the family patriarch too.

Frankie Muniz Calls Shia LaBeouf 'Creepy'

Former "Malcolm in the Middle" star Frankie Muniz has reignited his war of words with Shia LaBeouf by labeling the actor "creepy" for talking about him in interviews. The "Transformers" star mentioned his fellow former child star in a recent chat with American radio program "The Bert Show".

When the host asked LaBeouf about his movie success, he replied, "While that's flattering as hell, you could have put Frankie Muniz into any of the movies I've been in and those movies still would've still been No. 1." And when asked whether he feared any reprisals from Muniz over the comment if they met at a party, he added, "I don't go to many parties... and I really don't hang out in Frankie Muniz-type zones."

And Muniz, who has quit acting to pursue a music career, is not happy about LaBeouf's remarks. In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "Dear Shia Labeouf. It's getting creepy the fact that you can't stop talking about me. It's been 12 years now. I don't know you. Thanks."

The pair previously became embroiled in a public spat in 2003 after LaBeouf accused Muniz of "looking down" on him at parties. He said, "I used to see him at premieres and stuff and it would always be like he was looking down on me. And then it turned into we're equal, and then it turned into, 'Oh Frankie, I know that guy'."

John Mayer Quits Twitter in the Name of Art

Last month, "Your Body Is a Wonderland" hitmaker John Mayer decided to say goodbye to his Twitter followers. And now, Mayer took to his official site to explain his retirement from the micro-blogging site. "It occurred to me that since the invocation of Twitter, nobody who has participated in it has created any lasting art," the singer started.

"And yes! Yours truly is included in that roundup as well. Let me make sure that statement is as absolute and irrevocable as possible by buzzing your tower one more time," Mayer added. The ex-boyfriend of Jennifer Aniston later trashed Twitter users, writing "No artwork created by someone with a healthy grasp of social media thus far has proven to be anything other than disposable."

Mayer then gave examples on some stars who didn't use Twitter yet they are able to create "their best works" such as Tina Fey for "penning the best show on television" as well as Aaron Sorkin, who never uses Facebook, for his "artistic contribution that the media sites are talking about so much."

"Those who decide to remain offline will make better work than those online. Why?" Mayer mused. "Because great ideas have to gather. They have to pass the test of withstanding thirteen different moods, four different months and sixty different edits. Anything less is day trading. You can either get a bunch of mentions now or change someone's life next year."

Again, Mayer snipped, "I'm not knocking Twitter for those who are trying to make a name for themselves. Some people need all the RTs they can get today. But for those who have already established themselves it's a slow erosion of the artistic notion."
