As soon as this was brought to our attention, we began the process of removing the card from all applicable stores."

Naked Workers For Hire: Jean-Paul Reid has launched a new company that hires out naked workers. The South African native can provide anything from a naked plumber to a naked accountant.

The Star and Hollywoodlife.com claim Kim Kardashian is being romanced by a Saudi billionaire she met while in Dubai.

She wants to be taken care of. She’s done being a sugar mama.”
Life & Style Weekly claims Reggie's mom urged him not to reconcile with Kim.
Twilight star Robert Pattinson won't be releasing any of his music. He says, "With movies, I can handle the criticism because you can always blame it on someone else. But with music, as soon as you put something out there everyone judges it. If you're an actor and you've made some money and stuff, you're basically only putting an album out for people to judge it. I don't necessarily want people to judge it or care. The day it comes out I know I'm going to be on the internet looking at stuff and I'll probably shoot myself. So I don't know if it's worth shooting myself over."
George Clooney doesn't care if people think he's gay. He tells The Advocate, "I think it's funny, but the last thing you'll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, 'These are lies!' That would be unfair and unkind to my good friends in the gay community. I'm not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I'm very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I'm gay? I'll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don't give a sh-t."
Eddie Murphy tells Access Hollywood he would still like to host The Oscars one day. “It’s still something that I would like to do one day, because all the best comics have done it. It’s one of the few things I haven’t done in my 35 years in this business, so I would like to have that be part of my resume as well. I thought Billy did a wonderful job. Billy’s done it so many times, he can’t not do a good job. He’s really solid at that.”
Life & Style Weekly claims Glee stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith recently had dinner together at a Vancouver sushi restaurant called Eatery. A source says, "They came in Saturday night for dinner. Cory is well known here because he comes in all the time. They sat at a table at the front of the restaurant in the corner. They wore hats and both ordered Ichi rolls. A woman recognized the pair and though they politely said that they were trying to lay low, they were still very nice to her. No one else bothered them.

Simon Cowell says he is “fascinated” by Britney Spears and would love to have her as a judge on the X Factor. “I’m fascinated by Britney. The fact that she’s one of the most talked about — not just pop stars — but people in the world today, means that you’ve got this star power. This girl has got resilience. I would think that if she’s managed to sustain a family, a career, which is tough, [X Factor would be] a walk in the park. I would be fascinated to hear what she had to say. She’s still hot, she’s still having hit records and she’s still controversial, there’s a reason for that.”
Lady GaGa and Oprah launched her Born This Way Foundation yesterday at Harvard. GaGa says, "The three pillars are 'SSO.' Remember these things today, it would make me very very happy: Safety. Skills. Opportunity. I want to help, I want to be brave, I want there to be more tolerance in the universe. I want there to be more acceptance. What I realize more than anything was that I never wanted this dialogue to end. This is about transformative change in culture over a period of time."
Steven Tyler says he had a spiritual awakening when he was 9. "I saw this place in the woods where the sun was coming through and I'm walking around with my slingshot at nine years old... It was so quiet in there I thought I heard something called the children of the woods. It was my first spiritual moment... and I've always been writing songs to try to get back to that moment
