Mr. Peepers Gossip

Oh noes!  Trouble brewing for the third season of Jersey Shore again already (maybe). 

According to P6, the rest of the cast is fed up with Mike “The Situation Sorrentino’s ego, which is supposedly getting too big for the others liking.  Considering they’re all shameless famewhores who got hired for being just that, this is as perplexing as it is ironic.

Apparently, the fact that The Situation was approached first when that salary dispute occured earlier this month didn’t help matters any either.  Word is some members of the cast are going to try and drive him out.

Expect much more manufactured drama a’la The Hills for season three, which will be begin filming soon in Seaside Heights, NJ.

TMZ is saying Oksana (Gold-Digger) Grigorieva has voicemails that Mad Mel left her ranting and raving about various things as he is wont to do.  She plans on releasing them (maybe as a boxed set for Christmas?) to the highest bidder.  I sense a bidding war in the works between TMZ and Radar Online.

Speaking of TMZ, Gold-Digger supposedly had her rep go to them on her behalf, telling them that Mel had said he wanted “Jew blood on his hands” in apparent reference to TMZ over-lord Harvey Levine, for breaking the story on Mad Mel’s original anti-semitic rant back in 2006 (the Sugar-Tits debacle).  Gold-Digger claimed Mel told her he was having Levine followed, and planned to have him kidnapped, then left out in the desert beaten, naked, with broken knee-caps.  Gold-Digger says she went to the police, but Levine was never contacted by them and his minions at TMZ investigated, eventually dismissing the story as fiction.

As for the original tapes that started this whole thing, looks like it may have been Gold-Digger’s sister, Natalie, that sold the tapes to Radar Online.  Word is she’s being investigated by authorities as well as Gold-Digger and could be held in contempt of court, as the tapes were ordered sealed by the judge presiding over the custody case back in June.  Apparently, the tapes were shopped around, with most outlets saying no, as the sisters (come on, they’re  both in on it) wanted them to be purchased without anyone hearing any of them first.

Before you walk away in utter disgust with yet another post about these two, it gets interesting, so bare with me.

Word via the Hollywood Reporter this morning is that the LA sheriff’s department is investigating Oksana for extortion, because according to a source there, it was Mad Mel, not Oksana, that walked away from the $15 million dollar hush money agreement that they had and that’s why she started to tape his rants, which were eventually sold leaked to the media.  DUN!

Apparently, Mad Mel has a text from her that says “You broke your agreement”.  Granted, that could apply to anything, including promising not to lose his temper and yell, but there are allegedly other messages that make it pretty clear there was a shakedown attempt going on.

Oksana’s lawyer also had his knuckles rapped by the judge for failure to disclose to the court about the $15 million dollar settlement that fell apart. Although Oksana’s lawyer tried to explain that her actions (including waiting months to get a restraining order) were caused from bad legal advise, the judge was having none of it and said that he found those explanations both ”disturbing” and “disingenious at best”.  The judge also ordered the tapes sealed, hence Oksana’s prior clam that she doesn’t know who’s leaking them, but thinks “it’s terrible”. 

Bitch, please.

Neither Mad Mel or Gold-Digger’s spokesminions are talking about this latest wrinkle in the ongoing drama.  Stay tuned….

How damning must the dirt Oksana Grigorieva have on Mel be that she was willing to turn her back on $15 million to hand over the tapes (yes, those tapes) and keep her mouth shut?

Cripes.

Apparently, the deal was struck back in May, but Oksana felt she was being coerced into signing so she walked away from the table.  (I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, blackmail is totally legit as long as you have your lawyers do the talking for you)  Team Mel says this proves that she was after money all along and was willing to do anything to get it.  Team Oksana says it proves that she wasn’t interested in the cash since she turned down a huge offer.

My guess is Gold-digger probably wanted more, or realized she could sell each tape for a hefty sum and have payback on Mad Mel.  Pity they couldn’t make it work, they sort of deserve each other.

Update -  Radar has just released tape # 6 of Mad Mel’s greatest hits and it’s a doozy.  Whether she played Mel and baited him or not, I’ll give Oksana this, I think she’s right on the money when she says “Everybody’s pussy footing around you because they’re all scared sh*tless of you.”

More drama behind the scenes of MTV‘s Jersey Shore.  

Word is (via TMZ) that most of the cast is refusing to show up for filming the “second” part of the second season, while  Radar Online is saying that the network has given them until today to show up for work “or else”.

It’s sort of convoluted, but from the sounds of things, MTV is trying to pull a bit of fast one, referring to the next phase of production as the second half of the second season or 2B (even though it’s also been identified as “cycle three”) so they don’t have to re-enter contract negotiations with the cast.  2A is the part that was filmed down in Miami during the spring.

MTV is taking a divide and conquer approach, offering Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino a bonus of $60 000 to $1800 000, depending how ratings go for both parts of the second season, plus a huge salary increase of up to $45 thousand per episode for season three (or four, depending on how you look at it).

Confusing, isn’t it?  No wonder Angelia (the boring one that split a couple of episodes into the first season) left again.

What better reason to reconcile than for the sake of your child creating the basis for a reality TV show?

Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin, who floored everyone when they announced in last week’s US Magazine that they were engaged, have been shopping around several pitches for a reality TV show starring themselves and their 2 year old kid, Tripp, as they work, play, and go about their daily routines. 

Sounds fascinating.  

However, no one is buying what they’re selling (yet).  Apparently, network execs think the pair are “boring” and “neither of them have personalities”.   Having previously seen Levi on Live with Larry King when Kathy Griffin subbed for the geriatric sex symbol, I can honestly say that’s a pretty accurate statement.

Silly famewhores!  What they need to do is create some drams for the show.  Involve Levi’s Palin hating sister Mercedes, Bristol’s ma, Sarah, and promise occasional appearances by Kathy Griffin.  That would guarantee a ratings bonanza.

This is becoming a regular occurance for Paris the Heiress.

Just before the World Cup final last week, Paris got detained while in South Africa for possession of marijuana (gasps – clutches pearls in horror), but was released when her minion took the fall for her after Paris paid both the authorities and her minion off.

Now comes word via TMZ that Paris got caught on the island of Corseca off the coast of France with more weed (albeit less than a gram) while on her way to Italy yesterday afternoon.   

Apparently, Paris was detained briefly before being allowed to go on her merry way after yet another bribe.  

Although Paris denies any of this happened, me thinks the lady doth protest too strongly.  She also needs to find a better place to hide her stash while traveling.

It seems like it, doesn’t it?   I’m really starting to get sick of these two morons.  Anyhoodle, moving on…

After several more tapes over the past couple of days of Mel going off like a longshoreman with Tourette’s Syndrome and a respiratory problem have been leaked, Radar is now giving us a break from the audio version of the lunacy and posted a picture that was supposedly taken after Mel punched Oksana in the face (twice), breaking her teeth while she was holding their kid.

Mel is an absolute asshole to be sure, but it seems more and more likely that not everything is exactly as it appears. 

There’s a lack of a split or swollen lip (collagen injections notwithstanding) for someone who just had their teeth knocked out/chipped in that photo.  The story was that one of her teeth had been knocked out, but the photo looks like the before pic of someone getting veneers, speaking of which, Oksana’s dentist claimed she wouldn’t look at the camera when the photo was taken, but she’s clearly looking at it in the photo Radar released.   Perplexing!

Also?  An audio forensics expert was on Good Morning America the other day and said those tapes were certainly doctored.  Yes, Mel said the words, absolutely.  However,  Oksana was a recording artist back in Mother Russia.  Stands to reason she’d know a couple of sound editors.  Hmmmmm.

Meanwhile, the judge handling Oksana and Mel’s custudy case refused to take away his visitation rights (even though he’s being investigated for domestic violence).  Mel’s ex-wife Robyn went on the record supporting Mel saying he was never violent to her or their kids in almost 30 years of marriage.

Apparently, Mel’s legal team will be meeting with LA County Sheriff’s Department, pushing for an investigation into Oksana, who they say was trying to extort money from Mel with these tapes and photo(s).

The big question though, is why hasn’t Gloria Allred become invloved yet?

Out with one crazy trainwreck (Tila Tequila), in with another (Janice).

TMZ says the modeling agency owner, reality TV mainstay and Tyra Banks nemisis is supposedly joining Dr Drew and company to shake her alcoholism.

Dr Drew must be almost as crazy as Janice if he thinks he can have her there and escape completley unscathed.  Wonder who Janice will end up fighting with (hint: everybody) during the new season?

I’m trying to imagine the conversation Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough might have been having while the paps just “happened” to be there.

“Kiss me you fool, they’re still taking pictures!”

“Again?  I don’t think anyone’s buying this Ryan.”

“Kiss me and I’ll send your demo tape to twice as many producers!”

“Pucker up, loverboy”.

Yes, after trying this routine a few years back with Teri Hatcher, Ryan Seacrest is once again trying to demonstrate what a ladies man he is with Julianne Hough. 

FAIL. 

Anyone else think it’s her brother Derek from Dancing with the Stars that he might actually be interested in?
