Jon Gosselin Getting Owned By Nancy Grace – Video

October 7, 2009 By Holly Stafford 2 Comments

Oh man, this was probably one of the best LOLtastic moments I have seen lately! Prosecutor-turned-TV host Nancy Grace grilled Jon Gosselin on “The Insider” Monday night about his bitter divorce from his estranged wife Kate, leaving poor Jon looking as if he was about to soil himself. Grace questions Jon’s motive to pull the plug on the family’s reality show now and bashed him for the parade of women coming in and out of his door.

Per PopEater:

“For years Jon, you had your children on TV on a reality show, but suddenly when it’s no longer ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8,’ it’s ‘Kate Plus 8,’ you suddenly have a problem with it and you want it all to come to an end? I don’t believe that,” Grace said.

Oh just wait kittens, it gets better! Jon responded by claiming that ‘regardless of timing, I’m their father and I will do whats best for my children.’ Oh, like waiting for the children to be asleep before boinking the nanny. How considerate of you! Grace was quick with a response!

“What’s important is the children and not these two self-absorbed husband and wife who are argue constantly in front of their children?” she continued. “Why don’t you just quit arguing and work on your marriage, wouldn’t that be a better idea?”

Grace also took shots at Jon’s reliance on his lawyer to help answer questions and slammed him for changing the topic of conversation to himself when discussing the kids., challenging him to answer why is this always about him. Grace goes on to question Jon’s motive to pull the plug on the family’s reality show now and told him that he talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk.

“You can’t go out with one 22-year-old after the next while she’s at home with the children and say you want to work it out. That’s not working it out, Jon Gosselin,” she added.

Grace fired back one more time at Jon, claiming that he and Kate need some sort of counseling together. All in all, it was pretty good TV. Grace really came out swinging against Jon, and we finally got to see him do a bit of squirming. I wonder if Kate has as much fun watching it as the rest of us!

Kelly Rutherford Granted Restraining Order Against Estranged Husband

September 25, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

“Gossip Girl” star Kelly Rutherford’s relationship with her estranged husband has just gotten that much uglier! Rutherford has been granted a temporary restraining order against her husband the father of her two kids, Daniel Giersch, after claiming he has been threatening and following her, among other things. The childrens nanny, Michaela Kothanova, claims she wound up quitting because she was so unnerved by Giersch’s attitude during custody exchanges and she was even threatened with legal action when she refused to answer his questions about Rutherford. Ann Edwards, Rutherford’s mom, alleges Giersch followed her and his son, 2-year-old Hermes, to restaurants and to a store without prior agreement. The declaration filed Thursday also accuses Giersch of being inflexible with his scheduled custody visits and stressing her out so much she’s having a hard time breastfeeding their 3 month old daughter Helena.

Per Zap2it:

“I am not producing enough breast milk to store up quantities that can be given to Daniel for feeding Helena,” she claims in the document. “I believe that the stress Daniel has created for me is also negatively impacting my ability to produce milk.”

Giersch said in his own court filing Thursday that Rutherford is the one who’s switching up the visits on him and he has concerns that Kelly, her caretakers, and Kelly’s mother are causing immediate harm to their children. His lawyer says that Rutherford’s claims are nothing but ‘fabricated accusations.’

Per PopEater:

“Daniel will remain focused on co-parenting both of their children and not make any personal comments in order to continue to protect the children’s need for privacy and well being,” says his lawyer, Fahi Takesh Hallin.

A judge has ordered Giersch to stay at least 100 yards away from Rutherford, Helena and their son Hermes “except for brief and peaceful contact as required.” The restraining order is in effect for 21 days pending a court date on October 15th to hear more evidence. The once happy couple have been in and out of court for months now, hiring PIs and haggling over minor things such as the kids’ potty-training, pool fences, residency, school, travel, and more. Giersch also claims that he found out online when she had their baby. Now that cold Kelly. Since when is a simple phone call asking too much?

Christina Aguilera Talks About Her Abusive Father – Video

September 21, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

While she’s briefly touched on the subject before, Christina Aguilera is opening up a little more about some of the horrible things her family went through because of her abusive father. She talks about how the abuse by her father Fausto, who she is now estranged from, inspired her to use music as an outlet for her pain.

Per Contact Music:

“I witnessed a lot of unpleasant things – a lot of pushing and shoving and fighting and quarreling. Growing up I did not feel safe. Feeling powerless is the worst feeling in the world. I turned to singing as an outlet. The pain at home is where my love for music came from.”

Aguilera claims that her father terrorized her, her mother Shelly and sister Rachel, during the time that her parents were together. The abuse was so bad that Shelly says she even once found Christina with a bloody chin.

The singer’s mother says, “I scooped her up and said, ‘Oh my God. What’s wrong?’ She told me, ‘Daddy wanted to take a nap and I made too much noise.’”

Aguilera’s mother was eventually able to leave her violent husband, taking her daughters to live with their grandmother. Many years later, her father made his way back into her life, but the reconciliation was short lived. He’s begged for forgiveness from her, but Aguilera says she has no desire for a relationship with him, stating that he is not a ‘necessary’ in her life.

Eddie Cibrian Gets Trash-Talked By Wife

August 24, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Word to the wise (and all you guys) – Never EVER put anything past a scorned woman! The ‘CSI Miami‘ actor’s estranged wife, Brandi Glanville, is lashing out at her husband of eight years after making his affair with singer LeAnne Rimes public. Needless to say, she’s not happy about it!

Per Us:

“Eddie is a compulsive liar, cheater and a home wrecker,” she says in the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now. “And he has been an absentee father. Eddie’s displays of poor taste have hurt our two children,” she goes on. “Eddie may just end up drowning himself in that ‘unfair fishbowl.’”

Until recently, Glanville stood behind her husband and backed his denials of an affair with LeAnne, citing the talk as nothing but rumors. Soon after, Glanville and Cibrian split, along with Rimes and her husband Dean Sheremet, pretty much confirming the affair. Eddie and LeAnn made their first public appearance at a golf course in Valencia, Ca. last week. LeAnne happily smiled for the paparazzi and didn’t seem like she cared one bit that their scandalous affair had ruined two marriages. The home-wrecking couple were again seen at a Kings of Leon concert this past Saturday night in Los Angeles.

Glanville says she has no plans to reconcile with Cibrian, and hopes to get the good ol’ divorce ball rolling soon. Those proceedings are sure to get nasty! But Brandi does have one final word to say to the hussy that broke apart her family: “He’s all yours!” Good for you Brandi! This is probably just the beginning of Brandi’s Eddie & LeAnn bashing and I love it! Those two cheating ho-bags have it coming!
