Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold
A new survey by AshleyMadison.com, the dating site for married people, reveals that 90% of people, who find out their partners have cheated, get revenge by having their own fling. Other findings:

Junkyard Dog: New Yorker Harry Ettling recently held a funeral for his 1982 Honda Civic. 'Bluey' had 170,000 miles and was honored by a Dixieland band before being loaded onto a flatbed for a ride to the junkyard. Harry says, "Everybody in the neighborhood knows this car. People have come up to me and said, 'Ever since I was a little toddler, I've been seeing this car on the street.' And that's a beautiful thing. I think in that way, Bluey's influence and his impact on the neighborhood and his memory, if not him, will certainly live on for many years to come, if not, forever. It became a neighborhood icon. There wasn't a day that went by that some kids didn't stop by and get their picture taken by my car. I'm not getting a new car. I need time to heal."
Michael Phelps is dating model Megan Rossee. She is 25 and from L.A.. A source says, "She and Phelps began dating in January (2012) and things started to heat up just prior to the Olympics. At the time when they began dating, baseball and television star Doug Reinhardt was crushing on her too, but she chose to be with Michael instead. Michael knew that he had to leave for the Olympics and not wanting to give up on their relationship, he flew Megan out to the trials in Omaha and then to London for The Games."
Megan's Model Mayhem profile reads: “I am super easy going and pretty much down for any type of project (that doesn't involve nudity). I love what I do and hope to further my career as a model as well as a performer, so if you are interested in working with me, send me a message!”
A source tells RADAR Online, “Michael is like a puppy dog around Megan – he’s completely in love with her. However, like any young girl hoping to make it in Hollywood, she’s ambitious and knows that by associating herself with Michael she will get a lot of press herself. She’s desperate for her own fame – her career has been a slow-burner but this will certainly accelerate it. Megan supplements the little money she makes through modeling by working as a cocktail waitress at Blok nightclub – but neither she nor Michael want her doing that forever. Now that people know who she is, Megan is hoping that she will get more offers for photoshoots and her modeling and acting career will finally take off. He took her to the Olympics at a time when he was trying to become the most decorated Olympian of all time – that’s how much she means to him. Michael adores everything about Megan, she’s athletic, makes him laugh and she’s obviously drop dead gorgeous. But what happens when the buzz of the Olympics dies down and life goes back to normal? Will she want to date a retired swimmer?”
Sharon Osbourne is quitting "America’s Got Talent" because NBC dropped Jack Osbourne from "Stars Earn Stripes" after he was diagnosed with MS. She says, "I just can’t be fake. It’s discrimination, and it was badly handled. He didn’t want the money. He wanted his gig. It gave him something to look forward to when he was diagnosed. Think of the good that it could have done to show other people who have this [condition] that your life is not over.” A network rep says, “Sharon has been a valuable part of the NBC family. We regret any misunderstanding and wish Jack well.”
Mila Kunis reached out to Ashton Kutcher after he dumped Demi Moore. A source tells the Sun Times, “Mila basically was just one of several people who gave Ashton a shoulder to cry on — so to speak. Mila is a wonderful listener and, since she had been friends of Ashton’s — and also Demi’s — for such a long time, she had a lot of insight into their issues and problems.”
David Hasselhoff could have been James Bond, Superman and Indiana Jones. He says, ''I'm the guy who was up for everything: James Bond and Superman. I met with Spielberg for Indiana Jones. I tell the kids that life isn't fair. Don't assume that somebody is really your friend or that you're going to do another year of 'Britain's Got Talent'. Once you assume that, s**t happens, it's really f***ing easy to move on.''
Robert Pattinson may fly to Australia to film The Rover, about a man, whose car gets stolen in the Outback. A source tells the Sun, “Rob has told his agent he wants to get away from it all. Originally he wasn’t that keen to do it because he didn’t want to leave Kristen but he’s changed his mind and is now negotiating. He thinks a stint out of the public eye is a good idea.”
Robert will appear on GMA on August 15th.
Tom and Suri Cruise stayed in the Cinderalla suite at Disney World. It's decorated like a 17th century chamber, has stained glass windows and a bathroom with a dome ceiling and twinkling lights (stars).
Taylor Swift has won over the Kennedy family. Kathleen Kennedy says, “The relationship is in the start of things and everything seems to be going very well. They are taking things as they come and having tons of fun doing it. They are very comfortable.”
Miley Cyrus loves her engagement ring. She tells Marie Claire, “I just love that it’s old and has a story . . . and I’m happy because it doesn’t look like anything else I wear. Neither of us is super-jealous. I don’t really care about the wedding or the piece of paper as much as I do the promise we’ve made to each other. And we want to have a long engagement. We know each other and would never do anything to hurt each other.”
Lady GaGa's next CD is called 'ARTPOP'
Katy Perry and John Mayer had a date on Sunday at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. A source says, ''They're just hooking up right now. It's not serious - yet!''
NeYo is having a hard time being away from his kids. He says, "The toughest part for me is not being able to be there as much as I'd like to. I'm missing milestones as we speak. My daughter just said her first full sentence and I'm not there, so that sucks a little bit."
Pink is the new face of CoverGirl
Steven Tyler says American Idol created jealousy among Aerosmith. "When I took Idol, it kind of shook the apple cart. Instead of being happy for me, there was a lot of jealousy, but it worked out. It wasn't all plain sailing though. The band kind of fell apart for a little bit and it was one of those things where we said, 'Let's get together no matter what it takes.' The band flew to L.A., where I'm here with all the hoity-toities and doing Idol."
Madonna doesn't care that Elton John recently slammed her. A source tells the Huff Post, "I honestly do not understand his need to trash the crap out of her over and over again. He says she has no authority, but apparently he has authority? He needs to hate on her. To say her tour is a disaster is just silly. She is selling out arenas, singing new material and a few classic hits. He will be singing the same old songs until he dies. Madonna is estimated to have sold more than 300 million records versus Elton’s 250 million, plus his career has an extra 10 years on hers. Elton's is worth $355 million while Madonna is worth more than $650 million as of last year, with an estimated additional $250 million paycheck from the "disastrous" MDNA tour. Ultimately, she doesn’t care what he has to say about her in public or private," one insider tells me. "She has nothing to prove to anyone, especially Elton John."
SHARON QUITS AGT OVER JACK SNUB!
Sharon Osbourne hinted last month that she wasn’t coming back to America’s Got Talent next season and now we know why. The 59-year-old told the New York Post she has quit the NBC competition because the network fired her son Jack from Stars Earn Stripes right after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. “I just can’t be fake,” said Sharon. “It’s discrimination and it was badly handled. It’s time to move on.” While Jack had not signed a deal for Stars Earn Stripes when he announced his diagnosis, he was in talks with the network about doing the program. But after he revealed his MS, he simply got an email saying, “regretfully we cannot move forward with Jack’s participation.” Sharon said the network offered to pay Jack his full appearance fee, but “he didn’t want the money. He wanted his gig. It gave him something to look forward to when he was diagnosed.” Sharon is still under contract with NBC for AGT, but she doesn’t care. “They can’t make me do something I don’t want to do,” she said. “All they can do is stop me from being a judge on another network for five years.” NBC later responded to Sharon's accusation, insisting they did not discrimiate against Jack. Click here for the complete statement.
Q-AGT isn’t the only show where Sharon has gotten to judge people. From 2004-2007 she was a judge/mentor on this Simon Cowell-produced UK singing competition, which premiered in the U.S. last season. What show? The X Factor
THE BITCH IS BACK …ELTON UNLOADS ON MADONNA AGAIN!
Sounds like Elton John’s friendship with Madonna is completely over. During an Australian interview Sunday night, the 65-year-old singing legend became furious when talking about how badly Madge has treated Lady Gaga. “She's such a nightmare. Sorry, her career is over. Her tour has been a disaster and it couldn't happen to a bigger **** (rhymes with hunt),” he said. “If Madonna had any common sense she would have made a record like Ray of Light and stayed away from the dance stuff and just been a great pop singer and make great pop records, which she does brilliantly. But no, she had to go and prove ... she looks like a f***ing fairground stripper.” Elton seems particularly upset over Madonna’s cracks about Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” sounding like “Express Yourself.” Said Elton, “She’s been so horrible to Gaga.” Click here for video (note content).

And I want a long engagement.” Miley’s beau Liam Hemsworth popped the question May 31st, which she said was a “complete surprise.” As for her ring, which features a hand-cut diamond from the 1880s, Miley says, “I just love that it’s old and has a story…and I’m happy because it doesn’t look like anything else I wear.”

In a recent episode, Tripp was heard calling his aunt Willow the F-word, with Bristol admitting, “I’m doing a terrible job of disciplining Tripp.” Levi tells TMZ his son “deserves a better family,” and went to the Wasilla, Alaska court house to get the paperwork he needed to file for full custody of the toddler.

When talking to actor Seth Green (who has red hair), Ross said, “Seth, congratulations.

FEDERLINE BLAMES GOLF BALLS FOR HOUSE DAMAGE!
Kevin Federline is being sued by his former landlord, who claims Britney Spears’ ex caused more than $110,000 in damages to his Los Angeles mansion. Landlord Joseph Malek says K-Fed trashed the place and never paid for any of the damages, but in recently filed legal documents, K-Fed denied the accusation. He claims the “damages to the home were actually due to normal wear and tear, and other damages were caused by golf balls hitting the property.” Federline also argues that back in 2009, he and Malek made a deal, in which K-Fed paid $60,000 to cover missing back rent and let Malek keep his security deposit to settle all outstanding disputes. Kevin is now seeking the return of twice the amount of his security deposit, plus attorney’s fees.
