When Flowers Feud: Iggy Azalea vs. Azealia Banks
Page Six reports that Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks are embroiled in a Twitter feud. Azalea accuses of Banks of bringing race into it, and Banks calls Azalea names and says she doesn't deserve a Grammy. Not sure who's winning, but since Iggy Azalea gets more airplay, it looks like she's in the lead.

Ansel Elgort Wants You To Know That He's Straight
Apparently Ansel Elgort is being plagued by gay rumours? I don't remember reading about them (or much about him at all, for that matter), but here is what his Twitter feed looked like this week:
I didn't know it was in question, but thanks for clearing that up for us, Ansel!
Just in case it isn't clear... I like girls. A lot.

Brad Pitt Distracting to Jurors
Brad Pitt was recently summoned to jury duty in Downtown Los Angeles, according to the Daily Mail. He did his civic duty by showing up and waiting all day, but was ultimately dismissed without getting picked as court officers decided that he would be too much of a distraction to the other jurors. Have you ever served jury duty with a celebrity?

Outtie Original Blind Item - The Dimples Naughty List
Here is a roundup of the worst-behaved celebrities to stop in over the years:
1) Reality star. Was on a huge long-running hit reality show for MTV that was a spin-off from another MTV reality show. Currently single, and trying her hand at a hosting gig. By far the worst-behaved person to ever enter the bar. Came in with her publicist, and refused to look at or talk to anyone, except the publicist. No one was allowed to look at or talk to the reality star (per the publicist's instructions). All drink orders went through the publicist. "Reality Star would like a vodka cranberry."
2) This actor formerly starred in a huge franchise that still has a rabid fanbase. Drinks were comped as a courtesy. Actor was obnoxiously drunk during his visit, and left zero tip.

It's less than one week until Christmas. Which holiday movie(s) do you still need to watch?
North Korea-Themed Steve Carell Movie Cancelled
The same day that Sony pulled the release of the movie The Interview permanently, New Regency Productions cancelled production on their North Korean thriller starring Steve Carell. Gore Verbinski, who you may know as the director of The Ring and the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, was set to direct the movie. Verbinski released the following statement exclusively to Us Weekly:
"Yesterday, I was told by New Regency and Fox that Fox will no longer be distributing the film. Prior to that, the film was green-lit and fully funded by New Regency with Fox distributing. I have been told in no uncertain words that based on the situation at Sony, Fox has now decided to not distribute the film. Without a distributor, New Regency was forced to shut the film down. I find it ironic that fear is eliminating the possibility to tell stories that depict our ability to overcome fear."

"School of Rock" Hitting Broadway

Celebrity Real Estate - Dick Clark's Flintstone House
Dick Clark's former Malibu home has finally sold for $1,777,777. If that price seems low for Malibu, it's because the home only has one bedroom and two bathrooms. The home was designed by Phillip Jon Brown, and would look right at home in The Flintstones. All of those 7's hold some significance as well; Clark and his late wife Candy were married on 7/7/77. The LA Times has pictures of the property.
Busty Billionaire Breakup

Sony Faces Third Class Action Lawsuit
Earlier this week, we told you that former employees had gotten together to sue Sony in a class-action suit. Since then, two more lawsuits have been filed. This one alleges violation of the California Customer Records Act, violation of the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, negligence, and violation of the California Unfair Competition law, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The last charge is interesting, because that law applies to false advertising. In essence, the employees are asserting that Sony's delay in confirming the breach to its employees while they knew it was true all along was de facto false advertising. There will surely be many more lawsuits to follow in the wake of the breach.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Money Louder Than Legal
This model is claiming that an intimate tape will not hit the market because she does not need the money. That explanation is not correct. While we don’t know how much she does make modeling, the reason the tape will not be published is because she was paid off by the music man who stars in the tape with her.
Yes, he could have legally blocked the tape by simply refusing to sign a legal release, but he wanted to make this go away quickly and quietly, so he ponied up a big wad of cash instead. Actually, it wasn’t that big. Only about $100k. Still, money talks louder than legal threats. End of story.

Franco and Rogen Pulled From Interview Promotion
In light of a new threat from the Sony Hackers, Sony has pulled both Franco and Rogen from all media appearances they had previously scheduled before the Christmas release of The Interview, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The threat reads as follows:
"Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made. The world will be full of fear. Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time. (If your house is nearby, you'd better leave.) Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment. All the world will denounce the SONY."
The US Dept of Homeland Security has stated that there is no credible intelligence to indicate an active plot against movie theaters within the United States.
Is it just me, or does the threat sound like it was written by Dr. Evil?

There was plenty of kink... and plenty laughter. 'I was like: 'Come on guys I know I'm not paying for this but I am expecting a show.' It was an interesting evening. Then going back to my wife and newborn baby afterwards... I had a long shower before touching either of them.' "

TV Line Blind Item - Pregnancy Shocker
A beloved series has lined up its first major 2015 guest star: The Stork!
Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that an established program that is covered voraciously on this very site is planning to impregnate its leading lady (the character, not the actress!) early in the new year — and it’s safe to say no one will see the baby twist coming.
The pregnancy — the timing of which defies almost every television convention — has the potential to dramatically alter the DNA of the series. (And this is not a show on its last legs; this baby, and the subsequent implications, will likely be around for a good while). It also comes as the relationship between the mother and father is hardly on solid ground.
Fans of the couple will likely have a mixed reaction, with some complaining it’s way too soon for such a development, and others cheering the inevitable next step — marriage.
Bonus clues: The series in question airs on one of the Big 5 broadcast networks (i.e. not cable), and it has been around for more than two but fewer than six seasons.

"I met my husband, Bill Cosby, in 1963, and we were married in 1964. The man I met, and fell in love with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work. He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend. He is the man you thought you knew.
A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a man I do not know. It is also a portrait painted by individuals and organizations whom many in the media have given a pass. There appears to be no vetting of my husband's accusers before stories are published or aired. An accusation is published, and immediately goes viral.
We all followed the story of the article in the "Rolling Stone" concerning allegations of rape at the University of Virginia. The story was heart-breaking, but ultimately appears to be proved to be untrue. Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband - until that story unwound.
None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked - who is the victim?"
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Celebrity Real Estate - Andy Warhol's Townhouse Back on Market
After selling for $5.5 million just over a year ago, the townhouse where Andy Warhol lived between 1959 and 1974 is back on the market with a huge price hike to $8.75 million, the NY Daily News reports.

Sony Wants to Sue Over Hack
Attorney David Boies has been hired by Sony, and has been sending threatening letters to various media outlets demanding that they destroy the stolen information that they published, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Seth Rogen is on Sony's side, stating to Howard Stern on Monday that the media is giving the hackers "exactly what these criminals want" by covering the leaked information.
When Lisa Kudrow spoke to the HuffPost Show on Friday, she stated, "Don't write anything you don't want broadcast. How come I know you don't write anything you don't want broadcast in an email? How come I know that? Who's advising people?...I think we need to have more boundaries and accountability and a little personal responsibility for what we say."

Outtie Original Blind Item - Sony Music Throwback
In light of the Sony hack, here is a vintage Sony Music blind:
After the huge success of his debut solo album, this artist told Sony that he wanted to release his next album as a double CD. They told him no, double albums don't work, and he was under contract. The artist got upset; after all, he had just made Sony an insane amount of money. On one phone call to the artist's manager, a Sony executive stated "Tell that jumped up little f****t to do what he is told." Unbeknownst to the Sony executive, the phone call was recorded by the artist's manager. When the manager played the call back for the artist, the artist went off big time. That is what caused the rift between the artist and Sony, and why the artist wanted to get off the label. For his debut album, the artist let Sony mould his look 100% because Sony promised him that if he had success, they would give him more creative freedom on future albums. He also wanted to come out, which Sony shut down because his fan base was largely comprised of young girls. To add insult to injury, another band released a double CD for Universal Music Group around the same time that the artist's double CD was denied; that band's double CD was a huge success. At that point, the relationship between the artist and Sony was beyond repair, and Sony finally released him from his contract. There is a lot of symbolism about the rift in one of the artist's music videos for his second album.

Goop Sells Bras For Itty Bitty Titties
Gwyneth Paltrow has decided to start selling bras on her Goop Website, according to the Daily Mail. However, the bras are only available in band sizes 32 and 34, and despite theoretically going all the way up to a DD cup size, are described as "running slightly small." The bras will cost you $80 a pop, and are non-returnable, so you better hope that you lowball your size correctly the first time that you order!
Scott Stapp Assassination Threat
Scott Stapp, former Creed frontman, is in the news again, this time for threatening to assassinate President Obama, TMZ reports. Stapp had escaped from a mental facility last month, and his sister-in-law called 911 after she saw him cruising around his neighborhood, shirtless, on a bicycle. The sister-in-law told the 911 dispatcher that Stapp was claiming that he was a CIA agent, and that he had been given a mission to kill Obama. Stapp's wife told the 911 dispatcher that Stapp had supposedly found CIA documents online, printed out 400-600 pages, stuffed them in a book bag, and rode off on his bicycle. When the police caught up to Stapp, he told them that his wife had stolen $6 million from him and had stolen his truck, which was why he was riding around on his bicycle. Police did not think that Stapp showed enough signs of mental instability to warrant a psych hold, so for now he is free to roam the neighborhood on his bicycle.
Jason Kennedy and Lauren Scruggs Are Married
E! News co-host Jason Kennedy, 33, and fashion blogger Lauren Scruggs, 26 are married, E! reports! The couple wed at the Four Seasons Dallas on Friday evening.

Bethenny Working Hard For Camera Time on RHONY
The new season of Real Housewives of New York is currently filming, and Bethenny Frankel is reportedly working overtime to ensure she gets maximum camera time. Page Six reports that Frankel showed up at a recent party for Sonja "Sexy J" Morgan, where she stormed past the step-and-repeat area refusing to stop for pictures. Once inside, Frankel continuously took digs at Morgan, and at one point declared, "I don't do anything fake!" Sonja was hopefully too distracted by her new 24-year-old model boyfriend to be offended.
Ashanti Has a Stalker
Page Six reports that a fan of Ashanti has been accused of sending X-rated text messages to the singer. His trial begins on Thursday, and he represented himself at the jury selection. He worked the courtroom like a comedy club, saying "How's everybody doing?...My Name is David Hurd. Excuse my attire. I been in the pens for 12 hours. Just letting you know." A few people chuckled. Not everyone was amused. One older gentlemen demanded to be released from the case, stating "Your honor, I can't listen to this! I can't treat this case fairly with this guy representing himself." Everyone's a critic.
Leah Messer Returning To Teen Mom 2 After All
A few weeks ago, Leah Messer tweeted to a fan that she would not be returning to Teen Mom 2, as she did not want her drama to appear on TV anymore. Messer has apparently changed her mind, because Us Weekly is reporting that she has officially signed on for Season 6 of Teen Mom 2. Messer has worked things out with Calvert, at least for the time being. I'm sure the paycheck didn't hurt either.
Abigail Breslin in Cat Fight With Taylor Swift
Abigail Breslin has been sending catty tweets about Taylor Swift, Us Weekly reports. Breslin tweeted: "Cuz darling I'm a nightmare dressed like an emotionally unstable cat lady." Us Weekly attributes the dig to Swift tweeting Breslin's ex-boyfriend, but they're really making a story out of nothing (as witnessed by Breslin's copious tweets about cats).
But the picture Us Weekly used in the headline was worth the whole fake story.
to clarify: my tweet earlier quoting a taylor swift lyric was me saying I AM AN EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE CAT LADY. NOT TAYLOR. JSYK.
