Rep: Whitney Houston ‘Not Using Drugs’ & ‘Not In Rehab’




A rep for Whitney Houston is blasting a tabloid report that the R&B star is in rehab for drug use.

“The National Enquirer continuously publishes false, fabricated and malicious stories about Whitney Houston, including the latest cover story with the headline, saying it’s ‘Rehab For Whitney.’ Whitney is not headed to rehab she is headed to Paris, where she will be continuing her world tour,” a rep for Houston said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

The rep also shot down another Enquirer story claiming that the singer collapsed during her tour due to binging on drugs and alcohol, saying, “that is ridiculous. It did not happen.”

The rep reiterates that the singer is not currently dealing with substance abuse issues.

“Whitney is not using drugs and is not in rehab,” the statement continued. “She is on tour, putting on great shows which are being enjoyed by tens of thousands of concert-goers and which have been praised by reviewers.”

Whitney did endure some negative reviews about her recent Australian leg of her world tour, which the rep referred to as a “handful of negative reviews,” that the rep says the Enquirer has been using, “to justify the lies published about Whitney.”

Jesse James Apologizes To Sandra Bullock Following Infidelity Rumor


One day after Jesse James was hit with allegations he cheated on wife Sandra Bullock, the reality star has issued an apology, but stopped short of confirming the rumored infidelity.

James called “the vast majority” of claims that have surfaced “untrue and unfounded,” in a statement the star issued to Access Hollywood on Thursday.

“I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment,” his statement continued. “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me.”

James apologized to Bullock and his three children, children he was photographed taking to school on Thursday, followed by the paparazzi.

“It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way,” his said in the statement. “This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”

On Wednesday, In Touch magazine revealed their newest cover story — titled “The Ultimate Betrayal,” which centered around an interview with a woman named Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, who claimed to the mag she had an 11-month affair with James, including while Bullock was shooting “The Blind Side.”

“Michelle had several text messages,” In Touch West Coast Bureau Chief Ashley Dillahunty told Access. “In the magazine — we put the text messages in there.”

According to McGee, James led her to believe that he and Bullock were separated. She also claimed her sexual relations with James took place inside his West Coast Choppers shop.

McGee calls herself “Bombshell” on the Web site, So-Cal Glamour Girls and she claims she grew up Amish, but left the church and does not speak to her parents.

In a clip from a Player’s Network video found on youtube, McGee explained one of her tattoos, located on her forehead.

“It says ‘Pray for us sinners,’ because we are all sinners in life,” she said in the video.

As the cover story allegations were emerging, Warner Bros., the film behind “The Blind Side,” issued a statement on behalf of the film’s star, Bullock, who said she would not be attending the British premiere of the film she won the Best Actress Oscar for.

“Due to unforeseen personal reasons a trip abroad to support ‘The Blind Side’ has been deemed impossible at this time,” the studio’s statement from Sandra read. “I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your continued support of the film.”

And on Wednesday night, People ran a story claiming a source told the mag the actress had left the home she shares with James.

According to the source, Bullock left their home on Monday.

Pamela Anderson’s Fashionable Fake Boobs


Before anyone gets weirded out by these pictures thinking it’s some sort of tranny show, I want to let everyone know that it’s actually Pamela Anderson on the runway at the Richie Rich A-MUSE Fashion Show in New York. Now that that’s out of the way we can move on to more important topics like her boobs and how wonderfully fake they are. I’ve only ever felt fake boobs once and they were attached to an older stripper who smelt like cigarettes and broken dreams. It was awesome.

Geri Halliwell Raises More Than Just Money


It’s nice to see that former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell is doing her part for Haiti…. By walking down a runway for at least fifty seconds. Here she is during rehearsal for her appearance at some lame fashion show to raise funds for the Haitian earthquake victims. Couldn’t she just donate some of her Spice Girl millions? Anyhow, I kinda think she looks hot, but that could just be because I’ve had a few drinks and older birds look better after a few pops. Enjoy.

Jay-Z: ‘I’ve Been Invited To The White House A Couple Of Times’


jay-Z says he hopes Barack Obama is President for eight years – so he’ll have time to visit.

“I’ve been invited to the White House a couple of times,” the busy rapper told the BBC’s Jonathan Ross on Friday. “Hopefully we’ll keep him in for eight years, so I’ll have time to get there.”

But the busy hip-hop star explained that though he hasn’t made it to the White House, the President keeps him close at hand.

“Barack loves hip-hop,” Jay said. “When I called him he was playing ‘[The] Blueprint’ at the gym.”

And the President is also a fan of Jay’s wife, Beyonce, who sang “At Last” for the President and First Lady Michelle’s first dance at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball during the presidential inauguration festivities.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, President Obama admitted he’d even busted a move to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.”

“I didn’t want my girls thinking that I couldn’t, y’know – I got a little something,” he said in a behind-the-scenes inauguration video previously posted by John Legend, joking, “I’m not like Justin [Timberlake], I didn’t put on the outfit.”

Kris Allen Offers Advice To ‘Idol’s’ Top 24 – And Makes A Prediction


With Hollywood Week over and “American Idol’s” top 24 contestants chosen, last year’s winner has some words of wisdom for the new crop of potential stars.

“Jumping jacks always help,” Kris Allen advised during an appearance on Radio Disney. “Don’t be nervous. People can tell, so just go out, be comfortable and be yourself.”

And the singer already has his eye on one of the contestants.

“I thought Andrew Garcia was really good,” he said, before adding that he didn’t think a guy would take this year’s title. “It’s going to be a girl, maybe a country girl.”

The star also weighed in on new judge Ellen DeGeneres’ addition to the show, where she’s replaced Paula Abdul.

“She has a really great personality. She’s a lot of fun,” Kris said. “She’s really quick and is really good for live TV.”

Kris himself will make an “Idol” return this season following a visit to Haiti with the U.N.

“I’m going to help to raise awareness about what’s still going on in Haiti,” he said.

‘American Idol’ Reveals Seven Top 24 Contenders


“American Idol” revealed seven of their Top 24 contestants on Tuesday night.

Michael Lynche, AKA Big Mike, was first to learn of the judges’ positive decision, which Simon Cowell said was “unanimous.”

The 26-year-old personal trainer became a standout in early episodes of Season 9 not only for his powerful voice, but because his wife gave birth to the couple’s first child (on the opposite coast) while he was handling Hollywood Week.

“I’m here to do this for my family,” the chirpy chap told the “Idol” cameras.

Also getting a pass was Didi Benami, a knitted cap-wearing blonde who performed a song at Hollywood Week written by judge Kara DioGuardi. Didi also caught “Idol’s” attention for her raw audition, where she performed for her best friend Rebecca, a longtime supporter and songwriter, who passed away.

Katelyn Epperly, the curly haired blonde who revealed her parents were divorcing was also sent through as was Casey James, a long-haired blond gent, who caused Kara to blush. In fact, after giving him the news he was being sent through to the Top 24, Kara gave him a hug and lifted up her left leg as she embraced the 20-something singer.

Aaron Kelly, a soulful 16-year-old high school student who impressed Randy, was sent through.

“I’m on ‘American Idol.’ It blows my mind,” he told the “Idol” cameras after learning the news.

Laid-back rocker Lee Dewyze managed to overcome some shaky performances to win a ticket to the Top 24.

“Welcome dude, welcome,” Randy said after Kara revealed the judges only changed their mind about Lee moments before delivering what turned out to be good news.

Finally, Todrick Hall, a former co-star of “American Idol” winner Fantasia Barrino in “The Color Purple,” was told he too received a ticket.

“Yes,” Kara said simply.

On Wednesday’s episode, “Idol” will reveal the remaining 17 contenders who will round out the Top 24 group.
