Kanye West Still Tweeting His Apologies To Taylor Swift

Almost exactly a year after Kanye West charged the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards and snatched the mic from Taylor Swift's hands as she was accepting her win for Best Female Video, he's still apologizing.

The outspoken rapper took to his Twitter account earlier today to babble about how sorry he is and how he deserves all the flack he's gotten, writing, "When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE ... I take the responsibility for my actions ... I am not a bad person. Even in that moment I was only trying to do good but people don't always need my help."

Kanye added, "If you google a**hole my face may very well pop up 2 pages into the search", and while we're glad to see he has a strong sense of remorse, we kinda wish he'd put a cork in it!

Mayweather apologizes for racist tirade

Floyd Mayweather Jr. took to the Internet again on Friday, this time to apologize for a profanity-filled racist rant against Manny Pacquiao that he recorded on uStream.com Thursday.

Mayweather continued to mispronounce Pacquiao’s surname, repeatedly referring to him as “Pooch-ee-ow.” But a day after making racist and homophobic comments on uStream, Mayweather offered an apology to those who were offended.

Taylor Lautner Wins $40,000 Settlement, Donates The Money To Charity

Taylor Lautner reached a settlement with a California-based RV company yesterday, and the Twilight star intends to donate the $40,000 he was awarded to charity.

Lautner purchased a trailer from McMahon's RV to use while filming Abduction, but the trailer was not delivered by the requested date of June 21, so Lautner sued the company for breach of contract and fraud.

Kara DioGuardi has been fired from "American Idol"

FOX is telling people that Kara DioGuardi  has been fired from "American Idol" ... actually, FOX isn't using the word "fired," but that's exactly what happened.

In a statement released by FOX, DioGuardi said, "I felt like I won the lottery when I joined 'American Idol' two years ago, but I feel like now is the best time to leave 'Idol.'"

As we first reported, FOX decided long ago to 86 DioGuardi but kept her in the dark until recently.

As we reported yesterday, the last touches are being put on the Jennifer Lopez deal, it should be finalized next week.

Kendra Wilkinson Offers Parenting Advice To Laurence Fishburne

In a radio interview this morning, Kendra Wilkinson was asked her opinion on the Montana Fishburne situation. She shared what advice she'd give to Laurence Fishburne to help him deal with his daughter:

“He has to be there for her. He has to say "F" all, "F" Hollywood. And he has to learn to be there for his daughter.

“Just because she does what she does that porn, he has to get back down to earth and realize who my daughter really is. Is she a good person?"

“hey that’s what happens when a girl turns 18. When someone turns 18, they have the freedom to do and choose what they want to. It's your job as a parent to at least have them be a good person.”

She says that Montana's situation is not quite like hers, since she didn't know about her sex tape and Montana went out knowing and wanting to make a porn movie.

“kinda different... ’cuz she kinda went in there knowing.”

Her thought is that Montana will come around eventually:

“For Laurence Fishburne's daughter, she'll probably end up doing what I did and that's waking up, and finding out what's real in her life.”

Katy Perry Will Apply For Dual Citizenship After Marrying Brit Russell Brand

Katy Perry may be a California Gurl but her heart also belongs to England!

The Teenage Dream singer says she's going to apply for British citizenship after marrying fiance Russell Brand.

"When I get married next month, one of the first things I'll do is apply for dual citizenship," Katy said while in the UK promoting her new album, calling England her "second home."

But she may not qualify right away. She'll have to prove that she's lived in the UK for at least three years after becoming Mrs. Brand to become a British subject, reports The Sun. And considering that 3.25 million dollar home the funnyman purchased for Katy here in LA, we hope she won't become a permanent English transplant like Madonna!

Can you imagine Katy with a British accent?

Lindsay Lohan Stroller Accident -- No Harm, No Foul

The eyewitness -- a photographer -- says Lindsay was leaving her apartment building Wednesday (not yesterday) and was turning onto Holloway Drive with a green light. The photog says Lindsay "ever-so-slightly tapped the stroller -- like 1 mile an hour."

The photog says Lindsay pulled over, asked the nanny pushing the stroller if everything was okay and was told everyone and everything was fine, so she drove off.

The story conflicts with the photogs who shot video after the incident. One of them -- Brayan Jaime said Lindsay ran a red light and called the impact "a major hit" ... causing 3 wheels on the stroller to leave the ground. Jaime says Lindsay fled the scene.

So far ... no one has gone to the West Hollywood Sheriff's Department to file a report.

Jennifer Aniston & Harry Morton: Allegedly Dating!

Jennifer Aniston and Harry Morton. Now that's a couple we didn't see coming, but fully support. We love the annual Harry Morton sighting at THG.

The Hard Rock Cafe heir, Pink Taco CEO and ex-boyfriend of Lindsay Lohan was ID'd
as the mysterious new man having dinner with her this week. The Switch star and Morton were apparently flirting while dining at the Sunset Tower hotel. She was seen touching his arm several times.

Eyewitnesses say Aniston looked "a little nervous, putting her hair up in a loose bun and laughing at everything" the 29-year-old Harry Morton said. Proving chivalry isn't dead, the gentleman picked up the tab before jumping in his Jeep. He tried to cover his face to avoid being photographed.

Jennifer Aniston, who's recently been linked to John Mayer (again) discreetly slipped out the back under tight hotel security to avoid paparazzi.

Angelina Jolie Brings The Twins To Visit Brad Pitt On Set

Angelina Jolie was snapped taking twins Vivienne and Knox to see Brad Pitt at the studio yesterday during his lunch break, and it looks like the actor was in for a sweet surprise!
Angie and the twins only stayed for 30 minutes a photog mentioned.

"Angelina was totally hands-on. She didn't have a nanny with her -- she carried in Knox and then came back to the chauffeured car for Viv. Angie was in such a good mood and the kids seemed so happy. At one point, Vivienne pushed her blanket into her mom's mouth and Angelina just laughed and went along with it. She loves to play with the kids and has a really good sense of humor with them."

 

Awww!

Jesse James And Kat Von D Take Their Relationship Out In The Open

Jesse James and Kat Von D have been trying to keep their relationship undercover for months, but after we snapped them holding hands together in Texas, the Monster Garage and LA Ink stars decided to stop hiding and stepped out together last night at her Wonderland Gallery opening in Hollywood!


And just in case you were still wondering if there was anything going on between the tattooed lady and Sandra Bullock's ex, last night Von D told reporters, "Yes, we're together—duh!"

Kat's also been gushing about her new relationship (which, despite having met him years ago is still pretty young) to anyone who asks, which, considering Jesse's track record, might be ill-advised!

Photogs asked James as he was leaving the event if he regrets cheating on Sandra. Jesse stayed mum, but he seems pretty content with Kat, so maybe the answer is no?

Oksana to Mel: Our Baby Needs More $$$$$

Oksana Grigorieva is asking the judge to make  Mel Gibson buck up -- WAAY up -- by increasing her monthly child support from $5,000 a month to more than $40,000.

 

Mel currently pays Oksana the tidy sum of $5,000 a month in child support for baby Lucia, and also pays for the Sherman Oaks house where they live.  But we're told Oksana  now wants nearly 10 times what she currently gets.

Here's what's interesting.  Our sources say Oksana gets $2,500 a month in child support from Timothy Dalton -- the father of her 13-year-old son Alexander. 

It's a tough sell convincing Judge Scott Gordon that a 9 month old baby needs nearly 20 times more money than a 13 year old boy.

One source scoffed, "Lifestyle is not an issue for a 9-month-old. Think she knows the difference between a Ford and a Bentley?"

We're told Judge Gordon has not ruled on Oksana's petition for more dough.  Holding breath -- not advisable.

Miley Cyrus And Justin Bieber: Just Friends?

Like this isn't every tween fan's dream! Let's break it down: Disney sweet-tart Miley Cyrus is suddenly single, Justin Bieber does like older women and don't think a.) it's impossible or b.) that it's never happened before...
Remember Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake? When they united, the two pop stars - also roughly one year apart in age - became Hollywood's hottest young power couple!

Take a look at the facts. Earlier this week, Justin admitted his dream co-star for the Grease remake: none other than Ms. Miley! "She can sing, dance and act. I would go for Miley Cyrus without hesitation," he declared. If that isn't crushing then I dunno what is.

Then last night, Miley showed up onstage with Justin for his big MSG concert (which was being filmed for the tween star's upcoming 3-D biopic), sending both of their fans into a frenzy. According to reports, the crowd went wild whenever the two made any sort of physical contact with each other. Hey, wouldn't you?

Miley and Justin even went on a dinner date together (see right) back in May of this year, but Bieber insisted they were "just hanging out." Of course, Miley was also dating Aussie hunk Liam Hemsworth at the time and now she's not!
Don't they sound like a perfect fit? They have everything in common! Plus she's slightly older and knows the biz that much better, and as for Justin, well, Justin replaced the Jonas brothers... one of which was Miley's first love!
So, should Miley Cyrus date Justin Bieber? Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake 2.0!

Vanessa Hudgens Has A Fender-Bender

Vanessa Hudgens got into a little fender-bender yesterday while leaving a CVS pharmacy in Studio City.

The Sucker Punch starlet got all loose and relaxed at yoga before she hit the store -- then hit another car!

Photogs on the scene say 'Nessa backed her car out into a lane of traffic, where she smashed into an oncoming vehicle. Vanessa wouldn't get out of her car to exchange information with the driver of the car that had significantly more damage than her black Audi, instead rolling her window down to make him come to her.

But maybe the man was starstruck, because he didn't seem too concerned. In fact he didn't even call the cops! They exchanged insurance info and then went their separate ways.

Rapper T.I. And His Wife Busted For Drug Possession

So much for newlywed bliss!

Rapper T.I. and his wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle (who were married on July 30) were arrested on Wednesday for possession of a controlled substance in West Hollywood. Police reportedly smelled marijuana coming from their car and placed them under arrest. T.I. (nee Clifford Harris Jr.) and Cottle were booked on felony possession and they posted $10,000 bail and were released this morning.

Police won't say what the substance was, but it's being reported that it's something besides marijuana, so it's not looking good for the rapper or his lady love! T.I. is still on probation after serving seven months in prison for a weapons conviction, and this is not the first time he's been arrested on drug-related charges.

Joint Found In Paris Hilton's Car After Arrest For Cocaine Possession

After Paris Hilton was arrested for cocaine possession in Las Vegas over the weekend, police searching Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits' black Escalade found a suspected joint in the car, according to new paperwork.

A Las Vegas police officer noted in the arrest report that the "vehicle inventor turned up a 'roach', white piece of rolled paper w/green leafy [substance] inside ... it was wet and unable to be tested." According to Waits' arrest report, the officer pulled up next to the SUV after smelling "marijuana coming out of the vehicle," and after that Waits "stated he just got done smoking."

Hilton has been banned from the two Wynn resorts, and the hotel has confirmed that Waits was fired from his position as managing partner of the Tryst Nightclub at Wynn and XS The Nightclub at Encore. A spokesman for the hotel released the following statement: "Cy Waits has been separated from the company and is free to pursue other interests. Wynn has no further comment on this matter."

Jessica Alba And Her Runaway Train

So many dresses, so many premieres!

Jessica Alba attended another premiere of Machete last night -- this time at the 67th Venice International Film Festival, but this dress is a marked improvement over the fug floral frock she wore to the photo call earlier in the day. We're thrilled to see that Jess is showing off her bangin' bod, but what's with the train in the back???
