Speaking in Vanity Fair magazine, Jennifer Lopez says that it was hard
separating from her husband and father of her two children, Marc Anthony, but
said she loves herself enough to do it.  The "American Idol" judge says she
"will always respect Marc as a singer and performer" and that they work well
together, but Lopez said she came to understand that if a person isn't good for
you, or not treating your right, to stay with that person is not the right
thing.  Jennifer says that it's sad that love sometimes doesn't work, but says
she still believes in love.

MTV reality star Johnny Devenanzio (aka Johnny Bananas) says he is very serious
about his disagreement with the show "Entourage" saying, "I'll be damned if
some half-ass ape is gonna come and steal my identity." The former "Real World"
star is threatening to sue HBO over the "Johnny's Bananas" storyline on
"Entourage" saying he owns the rights to the name, and never gave permission for
the show to use it.

Former Detroit Lions quarterback, Joey Harrington, was seriously injured when he
was struck by an SUV while riding his bike in Oregon Sunday night. 33-year-old
Harrington was hospitalized with a broken collarbone, a punctured lung and a
laceration on his head.  The SUV hit Harrington from behind about 8:30pm. Joey's
father says the former NFL player was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
The injuries are reportedly NOT life-threatening -- and Harrington is expected
to be released from the hospital sometime today.

88-year-old driving legend, Carroll Shelby, is denying all charges from his
former receptionist that he groped her and ignored her complaints that she was
raped by one of his employees. He called her accusations "wild and fantastical."
Shelby's lawyer, M. Neil Cummings, told TMZ, that  the auto legend has "full confidence in the judicial system and believes that the truth will come out through the legal process."

So it looks like CBS is slamming the door on Charlie Sheen once and for all.
It's being reported that Charlie Sheen's character in "Two And A Half Men" will
be dead when the show returns this fall. Deadline.com says Charlie Harper's
funeral will take place at the beginning of the September 19th episode. As the
story moves along, Charlies Malibu ocean front home will go up for sale with
real-life celebs are all potential buyers. According to the report, Ashton
Kutcher's character will likely buy the house and somehow Jon Cryer (Alan) and
Angus T. Jones (Jake) will stay in the picture.

Nineteen year old "Twilight" star, Taylor Lautner, just bought one of the most
highly coveted cars in the world...  According to sources, Taylor walked into an
L.A. Mercedes-Benz dealership with his parents last Wednesday and slapped down
$200,000 for a silver 2012 SLS AMG... complete with gullwing doors.  The SLS AMG
goes from 0-60 in less than 4 seconds ... and maxes out at nearly 200 mph.

There will be not one, but two babies being born on "The Office" this season. On
the heels of news that Jenna Fisher's real-life pregnancy will be incorporated
into Pam's storyline on The Office, TVLine has learned that a second character
will be in a family way this fall. "It's true," added co-star John Krasinski.
"We can't say who, but someone else is pregnant."

Anna Nicole Smith's Studio City, California home has just been put up for sale
for $1.75 million.    The 4,700-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half
bathroom mansion was home base to "The Anna Nicole Show," the E! reality series
that ran from 2002-03. The house also offers a pool and a weight room. Smith
died in 2007 from an accidental overdose.

Jamie McCourt, who is working through a nasty divorce from L.A. Dodgers owner,
Frank McCourt, says she has already paid $9.9 million in bills from her lawyers.  
Jamie says she expects to drop at least another $7 million before all is said
and done. TMZ is reporting she's petitioned the judge to order Frank to send her
more money so she can continue to make her legal payments.  Jamie's lawyers
charge anywhere from $325-per-hour to $940-per-hour.  Jamie claims she needs the
cash to "level the playing field" because Frank has had access to $70 million of
non-Dodgers money to spend on top-flight lawyers ... and she wants to be able to
keep up.

"The Bachelorette" star, Ashley Hebert has been busy showing off her new
engagement ring. Her fiancee, J.P. proposed with a beautiful Neil Lane diamond.
The 3 carat sparkler is estimated to be worth approximately $150,000. The
diamond is a colorless, asscher cut, surrounded by 1.5-carats of Micro Pave
smaller diamonds.
