The Queen will not be amused.

The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has been caught taking bribes to gain access to Prince Andrew, her ex-husband (and fourth in line to the crown).

In the videotaped sting, Fergie tells an undercover reporter who was posing as a wealthy businessman that she wants $40 000 up front, with another $500 000 in future payments for getting access to the Royal family.  Prince Andrew volunteers as a rep for the UK’s international trade and investment.

Fergie’s spokesminion has confirmed that the video is the real deal and that the duchess is devastated over the embarrassment this will cause.  In other words, she’s very, very, sorry she got caught.  

Silly Fergie!  Have you not been paying attention to the media lately?  The way to strike it rich these days is to become a mistress to some married celeb, then hire Gloria Allred to try and shake him down for you.

Although this is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Fresh of announcing that she hit it with Gavin Rossdale back in the day behind Gwen Steffani’s back (apparently she was aware prior to Courtney’s announcement), the Hole front-woman has dropped another name into the mix.

Kate Moss.

Apparently, Kate and Courtney had “a thing” in Milan sometime in the mid to late 90′s.  According to Courtney, the super model chased her around a hotel room before pinning her down, at which point stuff happened. 

While I believe they fooled around, I can’t see Kate Moss chasing anyone around a room let alone being able to pin someone down, especially Courtney Love (unless she wanted to be uh…pinned).

Courtney says she hopes Kate isn’t mad that she “outed her” over their previous hook up as “it happened and it was fun and whatever”.

Like OMG, totally.  Maybe this explains Kate’s fondness for certain white powdery substances – she’s suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.

Glee is one of those shows that I simply haven’t been able to get into (not a fan of musicals) although I certainly get the appeal.  Despite what seems like the begining of a backlash towards the show, it’s popularity among fans (called Gleeks) is still strong.

Anyhoodle, much as been made of Glee cast member Lea Michelle.  Word is that she’s a super bitch diva (going back to her Broadway days) and is about as much fun to deal with as a chapped ass.  Her recent behavior at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner where she seemed to be put off by a photographer who didn’t recognize her hasn’t helped counter this reputation either.

Series creator Ryan Murphy spoke to People some event in New York and when asked about the rumours said, “Lea is the sweetest, most professional girl. She’s incredibly kind and she’s always on time and she’s always with her cast hanging out. They’re all close.”

No doubt.

2010: The Year Of The Cheating Spouse seems to be continuing on a roll. 

The latest member of the club, according to the National Enquirer, is Today co- host Matt Lauer. 

Word is Matt was going wild while in Vancouver during the Winter Olympics.  Apparently, he stood his wife, Annette, up on Valentine’s Day and was having so much “fun” he stayed on for a few days after the closing ceremony.

Once Matt got back, his wife confronted him, having been informed of hisextra curricular activities (flirting and canoodling in public) by another Today show staffer’s wife, and threw him out.    

Supposedly, NBC brass have been pressuring Matt to keep the status of his marriage and living arrangement hush-hush, so his “family man ” image isn’t tarnished, since most of his fan base is female and married (the Soccer Mom Brigade).

This isn’t the first time there’s been trouble between Matt and Annette.  In 2006, they briefly separated while she was expecting their third kid and Annette actually filed for divorce, but the proceedings were called off after a month.  

Most shocking of all?  Gloria Allred isn’t involved in this.  Yet.

UPDATE – Matt and Annette have both gone to the always celebrity friendly People to dispute the story in the Enquirer.  According to them, the story is lies!  All lies! 

Matt told them, “I am living in my apartment with Annette and my children as a family and a couple.  I have never moved out. I am not moving out. There is no truth to that.”

Annette meanwhile says that “Out of respect, I want to stand up for our family and protect them.”

Notice the lack of denial about his stepping out or her accusations to him about it.  So are they actually together and working out their problems, or are they faking it for NBC and Matt’s reputation?

A short while ago it was announced that Halle Berry and her baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry were parting ways.  Apparently, Gabriel just wasn’t feeling “it” anymore, their age difference was becoming an issue, etc, etc.

All things considered, the split was amicable (at least publicly).  They’re sharing  custody of their kid, he’s getting the house they purchased in Montreal, everyone seemed to be handling it with some maturity, class, and dignity.

Then story after story started to be published in the tabloids and gossip sites, all credited to anonymous sources close to the pair.  Of course.

He’s thinking of suing for full custody, she called him a “loser” and claimed he didn’t pull his weight, he wanted her to have another kid, she was the one who called it off, he probably cheated, she’s already moved on.  It’s exhausting trying to keep up, as it’s been going non-stop since the pair confirmed the split about a week ago.

Until one or the other’s spokesminion comes out with a statement or something concrete happens that’s not from one of these “sources”, take anything more you read about this with a grain of salt. 

I love some good dirt as much as the next person, but I don’t think there’s much more to see here than what we’ve already been told.  Time will tell.

Well, what do you know?  Faithless Hussy wasn’t the mistress that tried to shake down David Boreanaz after all.  Apparently he copped to the affair with Faithless Hussy to his wife previously, the as yet unnamed mistress (Mystery Ho until further notice) is the one that all the fuss is about.

After paying Mystery Ho twice to keep her mouth shut, David balked at paying her again when she apparently requested a six figure payout through her lawyer, Gloria Allred (who also happens to rep Faithless Hussy).  David went to his lawyer Marty Singer instead, going on to spill the beans to People.  

However, it’s turning into a bit of  a “he said/she said” scenario, as Gloria Allred alleges that David had his lawyer contact Mystery Ho first, telling Radar ”Marty Singer attempted to contact a woman who had a romantic relationship with David Boreanaz. She then retained me. (This woman was not Rachel Uchitel.) I then contacted Mr. Singer on her behalf to find out why Mr. Singer was calling her. We discussed the possible resolution of my client’s legal claims against Mr. Boreanaz by mediation. My client has not told her story to the press, but now that Mr. Boreanaz is attacking her she has decided to tell the story of their relationship, so that the truth will come out. This baseless attack by David Boreanaz and his highly paid legal mouth piece in an apparent effort to divert attention from his client’s extramarital infidelity will not succeed. If they think that I or my client will be intimidated they are wrong.”

Oh please….

Mystery Ho and Gloria better hurry, as details continue to leak out the asking price they can get from the tabloids for her side of the story is decreasing rapidly. 

As for Faithless Hussy, she’s supposedly coming back from Mexico today or tomorrow to hold a press conference, totally P.O.’d that her reputation has again been sullied by the media, paradigm of virtue and wholesome behaviour that she is.

Remember last fall when Star Magazine claimed that David Boreanaz had an affair with Tiger Wood’s number one skanky ho and professional gold-digger, Rachel Uchitel (aka Faithless Hussy)?

Well, guess who just went to People to lay it all out on the line (hint, it wasn’t Faithless Hussy) in a statement?

“Our marriage has been tainted with my infidelities. I was associated with a woman who I was involved with and had a relationship with. She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion.”

“I just want to be open and honest. I was irresponsible. We’re working on our marriage. We’re working on repairing what has been damaged so badly.”

Although David doesn’t actually name names, according to Radar, the woman in question was Faithless Hussy, while TMZ says that the lawyer for the unnamed ho in question is Gloria Allred.  Shocking, I know.  

Apparently, the David and Faithless hussy hooked up two or three times, then David, for whatever reason, gave her a chunk of money, but she surprisingly wanted more.  Not to be accused or charged with an out and out extortion attempt, Faithless Hussy had her lawyer Gloria Allred call up David’s legal team, requesting six figures.  David went to People instead.

Either Gloria charges a lot for her services, or Faithless Hussy is already trying to sublement the money she supposedly got out of Tiger Woods.  Cue the countdown to Faithless Hussy’s side of the story via Gloria Allred any time now.

The other day while promoting her new album Nobody’s Daughter on Howard Stern’s radio show, perennial trainwreckCourtney Love (the Michelle surname change thing is not happening as far as I’m concerned) dropped a major bomb, saying how she and ex-Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale had a months long on and off again affair.

According to Court, Gavin’s fling with her started before he met his wife Gwen Steffani, but continued long after, both with her and “several others”. 

“Everyone gave me so much shit because Gavin sounded like a lot like Kurt. But man, he was such an Adonis in his day! He got good in bed … something happened. Maybe Gwen taught him, for all I know.”  Courtney told Howard.

Is there any truth to this story, or is Courtney’s memory slightly….off?  People often hook up with each other for the simple reason that they’re curious to find out what all the fuss is about regarding the other (and it’s fun).

No word regarding Courtney’s assertions from camp Steffani/Rossdale. Yet. 

Cue the countdown!

Bitch brings new meaning to the term “Blood Diamond”.

Campbell was being interviewed by ABC’s Nightline and was asked about recieving a blood diamond from Charles Taylor, the deposed dictator who’s on trial for his multiple war crimes.

If looks could kill.  After taking a moment, Naomi said “I’m not going to speak about that!”, and stormed out, punching a newsmans camera.  Apparently Naomi has moved on from throwing Blackberry’s and beating down domestic help.

According to Mia Farrow, Naomi recieved the uncut diamond several years ago as a gift from Taylor (who probably admired her people skills) and bragged about it.

Naomi has so far refused to comment about the subject or be interviewed by the Special Court of Sierra Leone in the Hague.

Semi mummified CNN mainstay Larry King and his trophy wife with the giant gaping maw of a mouth (The Joker called and wants his look back) may actually be able to salvage their marriage, according to the  NYDN.

This of course is all for the sake of the children, and has nothing, nothing to do with the lack of a pre-nup (you cynics).

Larry’s lawyer spoke to the media and said the couple are apparently seeing a marriage counselor while Larry has his accountants cook the books and hide his assets and that there’s a 50/50 chance now the divorce won’t happen.  If these two crazy kids can’t make it work, no one can.

Both parties filed separate papers last week amid allegations and rumours of infidelity on both sides.  Wife number seven, Shawn Southwick, with some hot Latin piece, and Larry with Shawn’s sister Shannon.
