Yesterday, the news was swirling about how Chaz Bono split from his former fiancee Jennifer Elia. But the former Dancing With The Stars castoff isn’t letting the end of his relationship get him down — he’s doing just fine.

Of the split, he said, “Thanks for your concern about our separation. I’m doing fine, and we remain on good terms with nothing but respect and affection for each other.”

He revealed that he was going to tie the knot with Jennifer, but said that they had put things on hold. He previously said, “We’ve been engaged actually for two years and have kind of had to put things on hold a little bit. I would say within a year, definitely. Not to make excuses, but we went through a lot. I transitioned. She went to grad school. Then, you know, we were making the film. And I wrote the book. It was a lot. Now I feel like once this is over, we can sit down and plan a wedding.”

I guess that whole plan is officially out of the window! Who should Chaz date next? Sound off in the comments and let us know!

At a recent dinner party, Madonna brought her young boyfriend Brahim Zaibat along with her — and her own bottle of red wine. So does Madge have a certain wine preference? What’s even more strange was the fact that she also brought along two crystal wine glasses.

An eyewitness said, “She brought her own red wine in a bag, along with two beautiful crystal glasses. They poured the wine and immediately put the bottle back in the bag, so nobody could see what it was. At the end, they took the empty wine bottle and the glasses with them. We couldn’t figure out if Madonna prefers specific wine or is a total germaphobe.”

Isn’t that just weird? Who brings their own wine and glasses with them to dinner? Then, they shoved that mess back in the bag so no one could identify the bottle. Perhaps she has a wine preference AND she’s a germaphobe?

What do you think?

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner says that he’s happy that former fiancee Crystal Harris called off their wedding. In case you don’t recall, they were set to walk down the aisle in June, but she walked away just five days before their nuptials.

He said, “I certainly cared for her, but it could not have played out any better because I obviously misjudged the relationship. I’m a romantic and romantics tend to do that. Thanks to Anna, I fell into a very nice backup relationship and then with Shera.”

He went on to reveal, “The simple truth is, for a guy who is known for being America’s number one Playboy, I’ve been trying to settle down for a few years but picking the wrong ladies. When I was with Holly Madison, I was still married to my ex-wife and not looking to get married again. Then the relationship with Holly fell through and I think the fact that didn’t work out clouded my decision-making in my relationship with Crystal.”

I’m glad that it worked out the way it did. It was obvious that Crystal was just a gold digger who was out to further her own fame. He should have just gotten married to Holly. What do you think?

Is Kate Gosselin ever happy?!???

Apparently her brood comes home yapping her ear off about their father’s new girlfriend, Ellen Ross. Oh kids…

A snitch said, “Kate’s kids are starting to ask about Ellen and talk about her to Kate. They think Ellen is so funny, and they ask Kate if their dad is going to marry Ellen.”

Uh oh!! Sounds like a reality show!!! [Let's not give her any ideas, okay?]

The source went on to say, “Kate can’t stand that the kids like Ellen. Kate wants the kids to not think of Ellen as a stepmother, it drives Kate crazy. Kate doesn’t like the kids getting close to her and she refuses to accept Ellen.”

NASTY!

Even worse is these reports that Kate is a huge fan of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. So if you didn’t hate this evil broad enough before, just know that she’s helping to fuel the problem with the Kardashians. She’s probably looking for tips on how to bring the drama back into her life to get back on television — so she no longer has to be a coupon blogger.

Rumor has it that Steve Jones might just be hosting The X Factor USA for only one season! Oh noes! We’re fans of Steve at the Earsucker headquarters, so we don’t like the thought of them replacing him. Ugh.

The first season of the show ends on Thursday, when America crowns its first X Factor champion and winner of a five million dollar recording contract. According to a source close to the situation, Steve has been fired from the show.

An insider said that only a miracle would keep Steve on the show and he’s said to be devastated over the decision. A source said, “Steve keeps saying that living in L.A. is a dream come true. He loves the weather and the women, and he loves working on X Factor – it’s just a shame that the U.S. public has not warmed to him. He got terrible reviews from critics when he started and things haven’t go better. There have been mistakes and he just doesn’t seem to have the knack for dealing with contestants.”

The source said, “The executives at Fox have already decided not to renew his contract and so, short of a miracle happening, it is pretty much a done deal that he will not take part next season.”

But — there is still hope! An X Factor spokesperson said, “No discussions have been had and no decisions will be made about any new contracts until the New Year.”

Of the rumors and speculation, Steve said, “You can’t second guess the Dark Lord, you really can’t! But, you know, I’m happy with the way I performed over the course of the series, and hopefully Simon Cowell is as well. It’s difficult to gauge Simon because he only ever approaches you and talks to you when you’ve done anything wrong.”

What do you think of the reports? Do you want to see Steve Jones back for season two of The X Factor? Sound off in the comments and let us know your thoughts!

Who knew that Justin Bieber was a huge fan of making visits to the Playboy Mansion on a regular basis? He’s just like any other kid his age — if they had gobs upon gobs of money. Still, it’s being said that the Biebz loves to visit Playboy head honcho Hugh Hefner — regularly. That’s his story!

Sure, he’s really going there to visit with Hef. Nevermind all of the half naked ladies romping around trying to gold dig their way into the lap of luxury.

What’s even worse is that Justin has unlimited access to the Mansion…So he can gawk at chicks on a daily basis if he wanted to. According to a source, “Justin is obsessed with the Playboy Mansion. He actually has permission to show up whenever he wants. He’s invited to every party and he even visits just to hang with Hef.”

Is that the story that he’s feeding his girlfriend, Selena Gomez???

Justin: “Hey, babe, just going to the ‘Mansion’, you know, to see Hef.”

FYI, his father, Jeremy Bieber, started his fascination with his visits to the Mansion when he took him there to celebrate his 17th birthday. Way to go, Dad!

This week marks the end of Season 1 for the Golden Globe nominated FX drama American Horror Story and what a season it has been. Last weeks episode brought us a close to the twins growing inside Vivian Harmon, played by Connie Britton, as we watched a very gruesome birth doctored by a ghost, Dr Charles Montgomery of the house, played by Matt Ross delivers two babies, one still born and one that looks like a healthy baby boy. But looks can be deceiving. After all this baby is half rubberman born.

Vivian died in the “Birth” episode while delivering her twins and is now a victim of the house and she is finally with her daughter Violet who fell victim to the house when she overdosed a few weeks back. We also saw at the end of the episode that Violet found out the truth about Tate and his murderous tendencies not to mention the fact that he raped her mother and got her pregnant so she banished him from her right after her mother passed away. So I am sure we are going to see a very temperamental Tate as the season comes to an end. We have been told by a source that possibly there will be some more info on Thaddeus (The Infantata) aka the creepy scary looking dude in the basement. Thaddeus is the abomination that Dr. Charles Montgomery created from his son’s pieces parts and the beating heart of one his abortion patient’s baby.

See the preview and read more here!

UGH!!! When is Vampire Diaries going to be back on? The wait is horrible but never fear the new episode will air on Thursday January 5th and that’s only a couple weeks away. So we felt the need to bring to you in your time of need some new information regarding the original family.

Claire Holt aka original family member Rebekah became an instant show favorite since she was introduced to the show this season and they aren’t done with her yet. When we left off Rebekah was getting ready for the high school homecoming when Elena, played by Nina Dobrev, literally stabbed her in the back with the dagger to keep her out of the way while they conspired to kill Klaus, played by Joseph Morgan. Every girl’s favorite hot hunk Damon, played by Ian Somerhalder, dumped her in the basement for safe keeping.

It sounds like the show is getting even better! We can’t wait!

Once Rebekah makes her full comeback in the season she will not be happy camper, and of course we don’t know yet who the lucky sucker is that gets to remove the dagger from her back, and I am thinking she is going to be ready to rip off some heads. No more nice girl status for Rebekah because she is going to be out for blood since she revealed some very top secret family information to Elena, the back stabber. Just when we thought Rebekah was going to come to the other side, they had to go and ruin it.

Check out our sister site, Tragicomical, for some rockin’ spoilers on what’s to come on the show!

Teen singer Justin Bieber has revealed that he has never believed in Santa Claus!

As a child, he said that he was never given the chance to believe in Santa, so he won’t be heading to bed early on Christmas Eve in anticipation of old Saint Nick.

In a new interview, he said, “My mom always told me there wasn’t a Santa. That was her logic. She thought if I grew up knowing about Santa then finding out he wasn’t real, that it would be like she was lying to me.”

He went on to say that she feared he wouldn’t believe in God if he learned the truth about Santa. Still, he says that he applauds her decision, calling it “straight up and honest.”

He said, “I didn’t tell my friends or ruin it for anyone – I was a good kid!”

Despite knowing the truth, he and his family came up with a different way to exchange presents on Christmas Day. He said, “We played a game on Christmas Day where everyone brought a girl gift and a boy gift. You roll the dice and if you get doubles, you get to pick a present and if you don’t, it’s the next person’s turn. One time I really wanted a Game Boy but I ended up with pots and pans, which was disappointing.”

Ha! Good for him for not ruining it for the rest of the kids. But I can see his mother’s point. Can you? What do you think?

Music producer Mark Ronson says that he feels lucky to have known Amy Winehouse.

The two collaborated on her album, Back To Black and he says that he will never forget Amy or her influence on his career.

He revealed, “I’d been producing records for twelve years before I met Amy and I’d been trying so hard to have hits, but without any luck. The moment I thought to myself, ‘I’m never going to make it. I may as well just make music that I like’ is the moment I met Amy — we just created what we wanted rather than being concerned with what was on the radio at the time.”

He continued, “Something like Amy’s record comes along once in a lifetime, if that. Ultimately, Amy was one of those rare artists who made a very important record and they loved her. I was just lucky enough to have gone along for the ride.”

He added, “Winning and having success hasn’t changed my life but it has taught me a lot about myself and the nature of this business. The main thing being, to only work on stuff I believe in, regardless of what anyone else thinks.”

If you’ve seen The Hangover and The Hangover 2, then you can acknowledge the fact that it’s basically the same funny move, interchanging a baby for a monkey and the locale difference. But still, it was funny and we ate it up. One person who was shocked that the movie was such a success was its star, Bradley Cooper!

He said that he never expected the movie to have such success. He said that he was shocked when the movie’s director informed him that it was the highest grossing comedy of all time.

In a new interview, he said, “Todd Philips [the director] knew all the numbers and he was speculating that it would do well but we never thought it would become the highest grossing comedy of all time. I prefer the sequel definitely, I think it’s much better than the first one.”

He said that he’s excited to work on the third installment in the franchise. He continued, “I personally want to do it. I hope we’re going to start shooting in September. We adhered to the formula in the second one, for those of you who’ve seen it, and the third one, which would close the whole, sort of, trilogy, which now it would be a trilogy — even though we thought we would never make a second one, let alone anybody see the first one.”

He went on to say, “I think it will take place in Los Angeles and maybe not adhere to the structure. It might be different. I’ll do whatever Todd wants to do, he’s the best, he’s the greatest. And I love those guys and I love my character Phil so I would do it in a heartbeat. The second movie was the hardest I’ve ever done but I just love it. There’s got to be a trilogy, you’ve got to close it up.”
