Rachel Uchitel Speaks on Celebrity Rehab Stint, Battle With "Love Addiction"

In a rare TV interview, Tiger Woods' famed mistress Rachel Uchitel spoke on the Today Show about her addiction to love and how that led her astray.
Appearing alongside her Celebrity Rehab mentor, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Rache promoted her stint on the VH1 program and explained why she went on it.
"I knew that I needed help," Uchitel, who claims she went on the program to deal with her love addiction. "And I wanted to get it from Dr. Drew."

Uchitel she needs help ... and had some lip injections.

The 35-year-old all-pro mistress also said she was being treated for addiction to Ambien and other prescribtion medications, which she did not identify.
Dr. Dew said Rachel Uchitel's condition is partly triggered by traumatic events in her past, such as the premature deaths of her father and fiance Andy.
She was set to get married before he perished in the 9/11 attacks.
"People think it is a moral issue if somebody falls in love, all over the place," Uchitel said. "It is not, it is a disease and disorder; you feel like you have a hole in your heart and are waiting for a knight in shining armor to come and save you."
In her case, that knight must be married and famous.
"But it is not an excuse for anyone's behavior. You get stuck in relationships that are not right; you put a mask over somebody and pretend they’re somebody they’re not. You get disappointed when they don’t react the way you want."
Pretty much what happened with David Boreanaz.
Fortunately, "I'm a completely different person now than I was before I went on the show," Uchitel said of the "most intense" Celebrity Rehab season yet.
The show premieres Wednesday. Don't miss it.

Brangelina Goes AWOL on Thanksgiving

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did their thing on Thanksgiving.
What that was, we have absolutely no idea, but it appears their kinds hung out on the beach for the holiday Angelina loathes, parents nowhere in sight.
Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Knox and Vivienne were all spotted at the beach, accompanied by their nannies on Thanksgiving. No sign of Ange or of Brad Pitt.

REWRITING HISTORY: Brangelina will have none of it.

Pitt did comment earlier that the family would be overseas, but did not mention specific plans. Likely because Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving.
“Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like many other Americans,” a source said of her perception of the day.
“To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn’t her style at all."
Apparently she put her money where her mouth is, at least.

Kate Gosselin Wastes Money on Tanning

What do you do when your diva-like ways are running your family into fiscal despair? If you're Kate Gosselin, you go get your tan on in Reading, Pa.
The mother of eight was seen exiting a local tanning salon, where she channeled her inner Snooki, before heading over to do "business" at a FedEx.
Here's Kate looking lean and sort of tan ...

BRIGHTER DAYS: Kate Gosselin has seen them.

We're not criticizing the tanning industry overall, but it seems like a waste of money when you've got eight mouths to feed and limited income, no?
Seriously, the children eat moldy food so you can do this!?!?
Kate, who recently admitted that her kids are under pressure lately, yet shows no apparent inclination to do anything about that, spent Thanksgiving day with the enormous brood before handing them off to their deadbeat dad.

Lindsay Lohan is Smoking Hot!

Lindsay Lohan looked smoking hot (or at least smoking while looking semi-hot) as she checked into an alcohol counseling meeting Sunday in Palm Springs, Calif.
Looking fresh-faced and more glamorous than we've seen in months, the rehabbing actress wore a cardigan and t-shirt with dark jeans and knee high boots.
Seriously, if you can get past the cancer stick, she looks great!

SMOKIN': Lindsay Lohan certainly is ... if only literally.

Whether she's relaxing over coffee, attending AA meetings or spending the holidays with previously estranged family members, she's doing so much better lately.
Can she revive her career? That's uncertain. But here are some recent Lindsay Lohan pictures showing just how far she's come. Take a look below, then tell us ...

Kardashian Konfidential Konfessions: Khloe's Virginity, Kim's Krush and More!

Kritics of Kardashian Konfidential have understandably wondered:
What could Kourtney, Khloe and Kim possibly reveal in this "sisterhood autobiography?" The siblings blog about every aspect of their lives and let cameras film such intimate moments as a bikini wax.
But we've (unfortunately) read the book and can state that it actually does contain a few juicy tidbits. Why should the public care about when Khloe lost her virginity? We have no idea. Still, it's one of several items we learned from the tome and report on below.

1. Khloe gave it up to an older man when she was 14. She used to steal Bruce Jenner's car and drive to secret sex sessions with this boyfriend, but tells readers NOT to be like her: "You should never, ever have sex when you're that young," her ghost writer she writes. "Feeling rushed and pressured and unsure should have been my clue that I wasn't ready to take that step."

2. Kourtney needs to be perfect. At least when it comes to organization. She writes about needing everything in her fridge lined up in a certain away; same for glasses and dishes. She also "has to have" pink dish gloves and the same style of hangars throughout the house.

3. Kim has a woman crush on Jennifer Lopez. She describes her first, nervous meeting with the singer/actress and how J. Lo "made me think it was sexy to have a big booty." Looks like someone will be watching American Idol this season.

4. Kim encourages you to talk to her. Saying she gets "excited" to see fans dressed in her style, this sister adds: "I like being myself, I don't want to be unapproachable."

This is especially true if you're famous and/or a professional athlete.

Oksana Grigorieva to Mel Gibson: U Still Love Me!

For a woman claiming she feared for her life, Oksana Grigorieva sure wrote some interesting things to Mel Gibson. Interesting emails, to be more precise.
In the months following their nuclear argument on January 6, she sounds very much like a woman scorned and not ... well, a woman fearing for her life.
The emails are significant for this reason. In them, Oksana appears in search of answers, if not in hot pursuit of Mel Gibson. Hardly fearful or threatened.

If Oksana feared Mel, she had a funny way of showing it.

Oksana, on March 30: "I don't belive (sic) that u stopped loving me just in one phonecall. U either stopped loving me a long time ago or u still love me."
Oksana, on May 2: "Until this morning I was still missing you so much and secretly wanted and hoped for us to be together again ... I still believed that you loved me."
"Now I dont. I think you knew what was going on."
"Love like that doesn't die so quickly."
Oksana, who needs to work on spelling, accuses Mel's estranged wife, Robyn Gibson, and daughter, Hanna, of turning Mel against her, writing, "... it's easier to blame the outsider, ur love, completely unpretected (sic). So u betray me."
In the May 2 email, Oksana Grigorieva says: "I see now, that you seemply (sic) growen (sic) tired of me a while ago, but you were too weak to tell me."
Her lawyers say she taped Mel Gibson on the phone February 18 because she feared for her life. Maybe so, but she certainly doesn't seem scared here.

Celebrities to Spurn Twitter, Facebook For Charity

Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and Usher are going dark.
All in the name of charity. The aforementioned foursome and others are signing off Twitter and Facebook Tuesday until they raise $1 million for World AIDS Day.
Keys' charity, Keep A Child Alive, is staging a campaign that will have celebs such as Lady GaGa, Justin Timberlake, and Usher signing off of all social media.

PEACE OUT: Donate money or Usher won't be back on Twitter!

The "Digital Life Sacrifice" will feature the stars' filming "last tweet and testament" videos which will show them lying coffins to represent their "digital death."
"It's really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on," Keys said. "It's so important to shock you to the point of waking up."
"It's not that people don't care or it's not that people don't want to do something, it's that they never thought of it quite like that. This is direct, instantly emotional way, a little sarcastic too, as a way to get people to pay attention."
Leigh Blake, President and co-founder of Keep A Child Alive, says:
"We're trying to sort of make the remark: Why do we care so much about the death of one celebrity as opposed to millions and millions of people dying in the place that we're all from? It's about love and respect and human dignity."
She also added that "Lady Gaga is going to raise it all by herself."
"She's got a very, very mobilized fan base and that's beautiful to watch I think ... she's able to draw their attention to these issues that are very important, you know, so that people follow it and act," she says of the Little Monsters.
We wouldn't doubt it.

Brooke Mueller Claims to Be Happy, Healthy

Over the weekend, reports surfaced that Brooke Mueller was downing a lot more than cranberry sauce.
Photos of Charlie Sheen's ex-wife were taken of her exiting a hotel, looking disheveled and, reportedly, on her way to rehab. But Mueller has now shot down this claim as "ridiculous" and added: "I am happy and healthy."
She also really is filming an Oxygen reality show with Paris Hilton. That remains hard to fathom.

Of course, if Mueller was out drinking, it would be easy to understand. She should be celebrating every second she has free from Sheen and his wild, dangerous lifestyle.

But a source tells Us Weekly she is "clean and sober. Everything is going really well for her. She is focusing on the twins and being a good mom. She is really excited about her new show with Paris."

Well, sure. If there's any guaranteed way to remain sober and focused on raising two young children, it's by filming a reality series with Paris Hilton.

Willie Nelson Arrested For Marijuana Possession

Legendary singer Willie Nelson was busted over the weekend in Texas for possession of six ounces of marijuana. Wait ... Willie Nelson smokes pot? Who knew.
Nelson’s tour bus pulled into a routine checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Tex. and in an astonishing feat of law enforcement, an officer noticed a familiar herb smell.
Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West said: “It’s kind of surprising, but I mean we treat him like anybody else." And by surprising, he probably means not at all.

It wasn't Willie Nelson's first drug bust. Nor will it be the last.

As much of a joke as this sounds like, a criminal defense attorney in Austin says six ounces of pot could get Willie six months minimum and up to two years.
But Bruce Margolin, director of the L.A. chapter of NORML, thinks he has a defense that could spring the 77-year-old crooner by tracing the weed to Cali.
Specifically, Nelson can claim he forgot the California-grown pot was on the bus. The Golden State is cool with medicinal marijuana, after all. Stay tuned.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Welcome Mr. Luscious, Share Sex Stories

Who likes anal sex? Who could go for just a tad bit of oral? These answers and a lot more await readers who peruse our intern's latest recap of The Real Housewives of Atlanta...
Talk about a booming episode! Kandi has moved her Kandi Koated Nights webcast over to her boutique, TAGS, for some self-promotion. Nene, Kim and Sheree are her guests on a particularly raunchy segment. Cynthia even shows up to get sex tips. But the girls got more than they bargained because Kandi apparently is getting her jollies these days by asking freakier and freakier questions.
What's your freak number? Have you ever peed on anyone? Sheree's willing to experiment, so she's a 9. Kim doesn't mind anal, so that makes her a 7. Nene's into just a little oral, so she's a 3. Cynthia's a 6. The girls are then treated to a triple X visit from Mr. Luscious, a Hulk-like chocolate stripper with a humongous "sock."

Cynthia takes 50-year-old Peter and her personal stylist to meet with Tony Conway, Atlanta's top celebrity event planner, to discuss her dream wedding.

Going for a silver-and-chocolate themed, candle-lit evening motif with a mix of antique and modern, the planner promises 50-year-old Peter that he'll keep the budget under one million. Gotta make it extra special for Cynthia... and Atlanta, of course!

Nene goes with her friend to meet with Randy Kessler, a top divorce lawyer in Atlanta. She and Gregg are definitely not in a good place. Nene's doing her research and needs some advice. She needs time to decide what to do about this situation and wants this to be a wake up call for Gregg. Looking to scare him straight, she decides to file for divorce. Game on!

Kim takes 13-year-old Brielle shopping for an abstinence ring. The fugly brat is scared of STDs and an unplanned pregnancy (ironic, huh?) and decides that a $3,000 diamond encrusted ring should do the job of snapping those legs shut. Apparently, though, there's no hope for eight-year-old Ariana who, according to Kim, "came out of the womb looking for a man."

Kandi goes into the studio to rework "The Ring Don't Mean A Thing" and is still annoyed that she's not making any money off "Tardy for the Party." She records a new version of the song for Kim to approve and basically decides Kim can lump it if she doesn't like it. There are plenty of real artists out there who will actually PAY good money for the song.

Phaedra and Apollo come home from Augusta with little Aydan Adonis. Phaedra had to spend a week in the hospital and now she's ready to face motherhood. No longer "fancy free and footloose," she's chained to this baby. Due to complications arising from her C-section, Apollo has to literally carry Phaedra around the house.

Kim and Nene get together to discuss their marital woes. Well, Nene's the only married one, but as usual Kim makes the conversation all about her and tells Nene that she's getting to the point of being done with Big Poppa. She wants a future with an available man and may even want more kids. Flash forward to the present, Kim. Wish granted!

While over at Kim's parents home with her mom and aunt, Kandi hears about Gregg's radio interview with a local DJ from Kim. Listening to it on an iPad, Kandi's shocked at Gregg's utter lack of indiscretion. Gregg not only accuses Nene of using him but claims to have invested $300K in making Nene a "star." Sheree and ladyboy Lawrence also hear about the interview and are flabbergasted and fascinated. Did Gregg know he was being recorded? Even so, how can you be so stupid and discuss such intimate things with a total stranger?

Kandi doubts Nene will reconcile with Gregg after hearing about this.

Sheree and Lawrence are doing a boxing workout where Lawrence asks Sheree about the Love Doctor. Has Sheree confronted the defensive fake doctor yet? Hang on, Ladyboy. It's coming!

Kandi drags Kim out to her car and demos the new and improved "The Ring Don't Mean A Thing" for her. Surprise: Kim loves it! She tells Kandi she never doubted her for a moment. She just wanted to get her way. Thanks for the input, Quincy.

Sheree finally confronts the Love Doctor while at an outdoor lunch. There's no communication, no trust and no honesty in this "relationship" so Sheree wants out. Realizing that the "doctor" is a tit-for-tat kinda guy, Sheree just wants some kind of proof that he's a doctor. The Love Doctor wants some kind of proof that Sheree's a woman. What?!? Time to hit the bricks, dude. And, by the way, who's paying for lunch?

Nene's first day at work is going along pretty well. Breaking in her new laptop and doing some online research, she sees her own face in a local gossip item. Gregg's backstabbing hits her full on. Nene laughs it off, but inside she's dying. Nene also learns she can be fired for this because contractually it puts her in a bad light. 11 Alive's anchor, Karyn Green, tells Nene she better handle this with Gregg. Obviously something's wrong because "dogs don't bark at parked cars."

Nene and Gregg get into a huge nasty fight when Nene comes home from her first day on the job. How can Gregg have done this to her? What $300K? Nene throws everything back in Gregg's face and wants what she's invested in him back, as well. The argument escalates into a he-said/she-said debacle, which is shocking. Nene's pissed that Gregg obviously never had her back and realizes she doesn't know this person standing in front of her. Gregg accuses Nene of the same thing. Nene is beyond livid and says she's married to a monster.

Game over.

Should Susan Boyle Sing at the Royal Wedding?

He's already a reality show judge and record producer. But Simon Cowell is looking to add another title to his resume: wedding planner.
Speaking to Extra, Cowell offered up an idea for who should sing at the royal nuptials between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
"Susan Boyle would be perfect," said the former American Idol panelist, adding that Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" would be the ideal wedding song for the pair.

As the world knows by now, William and Kate got engaged last month and have scheduled their exchanging of vows to take place at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011. Billions are expected to watch on television.

Would Boyle be able to handle that pressure? Do you think she'd made a good choice to sing at the reception?
