Katie Holmes Sues Star Magazine for $50 Million

March 1, 2011 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

You can call her husband gay, ask why her daughter still uses a baby bottle, and make fun of her on-again/off-again mouth herpes, but you cannot claim that actress Katie Holmes is using drugs…unless you want to be sued.

That’s right, according to The Wrap, the sometimes actress, sometimes fashion designer, full time beard of Tom Cruise is suing American Media, the company that owns Star Magazine for $50 million.

Star’s “vicious lies about plaintiff, designed to hype the sale of its sleazy tabloid magazine, were calculated to cause severe harm,” reads the lawsuit, obtained by TheWrap. “The average reader (would) understand that plaintiff has become shockingly addicted to drugs… There is no other way to understand them. The cover even created the false impression that, but for plaintiff’s nightmare drug addiction, she would ‘leave’ her husband.”

The article claims that an “e-meter,” an instrument used by Scientologists to measure your past emotional experiences (or something) gives off endorphins which can lead to addiction.

According to Holmes’s rep, Katie said, “Enough is enough” and decided to sue.

Katie’s lawsuit asks Star to print a retraction, which, as of press time, they are refusing to do.

Leonardo DiCaprio Dating Whitney Port

October 16, 2009 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

Could movie star Leonardo DiCaprio be taking time off from romancing models and really be dating someone who is nothing more than a reality show star? Star Magazine seems to believe so, claiming DiCaprio has been secretly dating Whitney Port for weeks. Really Leonardo? Thats the best you could come up with?

Per Hollyscoop:

“They met at an NYC party and he flirted with her like crazy, then asked for her phone number,” says a friend of Whitney’s. “She didn’t think it was a big deal because she heard he does that with a lot of girls.” The friend goes on to say, “When Leo started calling her, she thought he was just being friendly, but he called and called. He was very sweet to her. He told her how beautiful she is, how much he wanted to go out with her….He’s treating her very well, and of course it’s exciting that he’s such a huge star. She’s really clicked with him, but she’s taking it very slowly. She doesn’t want to be just another notch on Leo’s bedpost.”

Uh huh… sure… whatever. I tend to doubt this story because if Leonardo comes a-lookin, then you jump on him faster than Lindsay LOL-han does on a pile of coke. If it were true then the so called notch or not, you run with it honey!

Sarah Jessica Parker is mad. So mad that she has chosen expert journalist extraordinaire Billy Bush to reveal the depth of her anger regarding the treatment of the woman Parker and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, have chosen to be the surrogate of their twin daughters.

Via Access Hollywood:

“The most unsavory things have been done. She’s had her phone hacked, her personal computer information hacked, she’s had threats against her and true harassment… She’s had friends threatened and family threatened and she’s had family of friends threatened.”

Wow. This sounds exactly like the Dame’s last cocktail party.

Parker is launching her attack against tabloid powerhouse Star Magazine who ran stories revealing the identity of the surrogate mother.

In a statement to Access Hollywood, Star said the following:

“Star denies that it used any unfair tactics in getting information for the article about Sarah Jessica Parker’s surrogate.”

Parker and Broderick claim to be doing everything they can within their power to protect the woman.

I wonder how many pairs of Manolo’s the woman has scored?

Angelina Jolie Pregnant …Again

April 15, 2009 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

Wow that was quick! If you believe the rumors going around lately, Angelina Jolie and her boy-toy Brad Pitt are going to be parents – Again!! It’s been claimed by “Star” Magazine that Angelina is just over 2-months pregnant with baby #7 for the fast growing family. This is like deja-vu for the millionth time on this reoccurring story!

Via Star Mag:

“Yes, Angie is pregnant,” a family insider tells Star. “They’d been trying for another baby for months, but it was still a total shock when she found out. Brad and Angie have been fighting so much lately, it just didn’t seem possible.”

A source close to the actress confirms that Angie is about two and a half months along. “She’s thrilled. She said she knew she was pregnant before the test confirmed it!”

According to the gossip magazine, after finding out she was indeed pregnant she decided to keep the news to herself for a bit, telling Brad only at the end of March after he returned from a trip to New Orleans. But it was only a little over a month ago that the magazine also reported that the pair were headed towards breaking up, after Jolie apparently caught Pitt having an affair with the childrens’ nanny behind her back. “Star” goes on to say that the pregnancy came at just the right time for the couple, to end their ongoing fight about Nanny-Gate.

Gee…. How convenient! Isn’t Jolie supposedly doing her own stunts for the movie “Salt” she is currently filming? If so, I doubt she’d be climbing walls and dangling off of buildings if she was actually pregnant. I guess time and waistlines will eventually tell!

Britney Spears’ Bulimia Back

November 28, 2008 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

After starting to slowly make her real comeback, Britney’s problems are still following her. She has been rumored to have an ongoing battle with eating disorders for years. During her breakdown she was spotted several times at grocery stores stocking up on laxatives. Despite gaining a few pounds while she was spiraling downwards she continued to abuse diuretics. Britney Spears’ bulimia battle doesn’t stop there. She is known for adoration of guilty pleasures such as Taco Bell, McDonalds and Red Bull. To shed the depression weight she is turning back to her old ways according to new reports.

“Britney’s diet consists mostly of Taco Bell and turkey jerky washed down with Red Bull,” a source close to one of Britney’s bodyguards told Star this week. “She throws up after meals, both at home and at restaurants and she isn’t very discreet about it. People around her think she’s bulimic.”

During her spin out of control she was said to be taking 10 laxatives a day. This was an effort to easily shed the pounds. She was buying Correctal in mass quantities. Her bodyguard squealed about her unhidden attempts at weight loss to Star Magazine for a decent wad of cash. Oprah, Angelina Jolie and The Olsens were also called out on stories by their bodyguards.

Sounds like the hired help needs a lesson from Kevin Costner on the code of the celebrity bodyguard. Yeah, and Britney…sweety…you are going explode poo if you keep it up.
