Gasp!

Looks like we were duped again.

Forget Courtney Love's claims that an Oprah inspired diet regimen and hypnosis helped her lose weight!

A friend tells the UK's News of the World that Courtney Love went under the knife to melt the pounds.

How very Star Jones of her!

The 'friend' says:

"Courtney has always had problems with her appearance and is convinced she is ugly and fat. Two years ago she had a gastric band fitted at a surgery in Beverly Hills. Lots of doctors refused to do it as she was nowhere near obese, just a little overweight, but eventually she found one. And as soon as she had the operation the excess weight started to drop off her. Now she is just skin and bones and looks terrible."

The 'friend' also added that the rocker 'laughs' at us all who've believed her diet lies.

How could you, Court?

We decided to throw an impromptu house party on Saturday night - thanks Eric! - for no special occasion.

It wasn't anyone's birthday. We were just in town, we knew that a bunch of our friends were in town and since it's rare for so many of us to all be here at the same time, we thought it was the perfect opportunity for a party.

No expectations. No RSVPS.

And we honestly had the best time ever!

Some of our favoritest people in the world showed up, some you don't know and some you might - like Katy Perry, Mika, Josh Groban, Lady Gaga, Amanda Bynes, Emmy Rossum, Michelle Trachtenberg and Diane Warren.

We'd like to apologize to everyone for their hangover, but it sure was worth it!

Oh, Mariah!

When will you learn????

We know your new album bombed and all, but seriously, you can afford a stylist!

The singer showed up to host a night at The Bank nightclub in Vegas' Bellagio HOtel on Saturday night dressed in black from head to toe.

This outfit could have been cute if she had just worn the LBD (little black dress for you straight guys) and NOT the black stockings too.

Don't you agree?????

In exchange for hosting a night at the club, Mimoo filmed her new music video at The Bank on Sunday.

Is she still gonna go through with that tour she promised???

The economy is tough! And, as Janet has shown us, it's tough to sell out arenas these days!

Ohio woman, 90, attempts suicide after foreclosure

A 90-year-old Ohio woman, facing eviction from the home she has lived in for 38 years, shot and wounded herself this week, becoming a grim symbol of the U.S. home mortgage crisis.

Addie Polk was found lying on the floor of her home with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to her shoulder when police came to the home on Wednesday to serve an eviction notice, Akron police spokesman Lt. Rick Edwards said on Friday.

Polk survived the shooting and is being treated in a hospital.

It was the latest attempt by sheriff's deputies to evict Polk from her modest single-family home because she could not keep up with her mortgage.

"It appears they're evicting her over her mortgage. She's lived in the house, the neighbors said, something like 38 years and in the last couple of years fell prey to some predatory lending company or financial institution," Edwards said.

Local news reports said deputies had tried to serve Polk's eviction notice more than 30 times before Wednesday's shooting.

Home foreclosure rates are at record highs in the United States, in many cases because buyers with adjustable interest rates could not keep up with sharp increases in monthly payments. The foreclosure crisis has sparked a wider housing market downturn and is at the heart of the U.S. financial crisis.

After our victories in court, saMAN Ronson finally ponies up the money she owed us!

Did she have to ask LezLo for a loan???

Zacquisha, looking as pretty as ever, continues his European assault.
