Kim Kardashian: I'm Not a Fraud, I Really Loved Kris Humphries

Filed under: Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries, Celebrity Justice, Celebrity Divorce

Kim Kardashian is telling close friends today ... she NEVER defrauded Kris Humphries into marrying her.

Sources very close to Kim tell us ... Kim loved Kris and the marriage was legit, but just fell apart in short order. 

As for Kris filing for an annulment on grounds Kim defrauded him, she says the two of them actually discussed annulling the marriage before she filed for divorce, but they were advised there were no legitimate grounds for an annulment.  Under California law, someone can annul a marriage if there's proof of impotency, incest, bigamy, unsound mind, force or fraud.

In fact, Kim is saying she wanted an annulment and filed for divorce only after being told it was her only legal option.

Conrad Murray's Mom Didn't Know Jack (Daniels) About Her Son

Filed under: Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson, Exclusive

1129_conrad_murray_tmz_drinks
Note to Conrad Murray's mom.  You were wrong when you told Judge Michael Pastor your son never had a drink in his life, and we have the proof -- 80 proof.

Murray's mom wrote a letter to Judge Michael Pastor before his sentencing, pleading for mercy for her son and claiming Conrad is a good person who "never drank alcohol, took drugs or smoked cigarettes in his life."

But here's the deal.  We got this pic of the Doc, who was at a holiday bash in Vegas in the late '90's.   You see Murray triple fisting.  People at the party tell us Murray was drinking champagne and cocktails all night long.

At least he won't get extra jail time for this lie.

UPDATE:  Although witnesses at the party say Murray was drinking, a source connected with the Doc tells TMZ ... Murray was handing out glasses of champagne, and the cup he's holding is filled with soda.

Vinny
from "Jersey Shore" believes the way to a stripper's heart is through pretend rape ... this according to the lyrics in a new rap song he just released.

Vinny just posted a song called "Rack City Mix" on his YouTube page -- in which the reality star rhymes about going to a strip club and skillfully courting one of the dancers ...with lyrics like:

"I ain't got a girl ... You ain't got a man ...
I've got a date for ya ... and it's in my pants."

The rap continues:

"Oh you a fan? You wanna take a pic?
I like your crack girl ... I wanna take a hit.
Yeah I'm takin' it ... I'm a get you naked b*tch ...
We can f**k and make it fit... boomin s**t and slatin' it.
Actin' like I'm raping it ...
f** k her til she fakin' it."

But wait, there's more:

"If I act like a d*ck ... slap me with your t*ts."

Vinny posted an explanation on his YouTube page, saying, "I felt like being a naughty boy and rapping like a G. Ladies I still love you."

You stay classy, Vin.

Prince von Ahole claims he's the victim of a ferocious elbowing attack -- and the alleged elbower is none other than his 64-year-old step daughter ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

TMZ has learned ... von Ahole has filed a police report -- claiming Zsa Zsa Gabor's daughter, Francesca Hilton, made like Ludacris and threw some 'bows during an altercation at Prince's Beverly Hills mansion on Sunday.

Prince tells TMZ ... he had originally welcomed Francesca into zee house to see her mom, when she suddenly turned on him and shouted, "Why do you keep her alive for your own personal benefit?!"

That's when Prince claims Francesca got violent -- and fired an elbow into his stomach.

Prince says Francesca left the home and he went straight to zee police to file a report -- and now he hopes cops will launch an investigation into the matter.

TMZ spoke to Francesca's rep ... who claims Prince is "fabricating the story to get media attention."

The rep adds, "This pathetic behavior is just one more publicity stunt on behalf of Von Anhalt at the further cost of a mother/daughter relationship and the legacy of Zsa Zsa Gabor."

Lil Boosie -- 8 Years in Prison for Drug Smuggling Conspiracy

Lil Boosie sentenced to 8 years in jail
Rapper Lil Boosie was sentenced to 8 years of hard time for conspiring to smuggle drugs into prison ... THREE TIMES.

Boosie -- who was featured on the 2007 hit "Wipe Me Down" -- was in court in Louisiana Tuesday morning, where he plead guilty to three counts conspiring to bring drugs into a penal institution.

The judge sentenced Boosie to 8 years in prison.

But Boosie has bigger problems -- he's also been accused of 1st degree murder in the death of a 35-year-old man ... and could possibly face the death penalty if convicted.

Boosie's murder trial is set to begin in April.

Dr. Conrad Murray Sentenced to the Maximum of 4 Years in Prison

Judge Michael Pastor threw the book at Dr. Conrad Murray
Judge Michael Pastor threw the book at Dr. Conrad Murray, sentencing him to 4 YEARS IN PRISON.  But Murray will not spend a single day in prison because of a new California law.  He'll serve his time in L.A. County Jail.  And in jail, at most Murray will only serve half the sentence.
 
The judge was angry, talking repeatedly about Dr. Murray's documentary in which he laid the blame at Michael Jackson's doorstep.  The documentary clearly weighed in the judge's decision to give Murray the max.

As for restitution, Judge Pastor ordered Dr. Murray to pay "appropriate restitution" to the Estate and to MJ's kids at a later date ... but the judge seemed dubious about the $100 million request by the prosecution.  

Judge Pastor ruled Murray must pay an $800 fine, a $30 court security fee, and a $40 criminal conviction assessment. 

Judge Pastor said, "There are those who feel Dr. Murray is a saint.  There are those who feel he's the devil.  He is neither.  He's a human being." 

Judge Pastor says it's irrelevant to him that Michael might have met this fate with some other doctor.  The fact is, Pastor said, Michael Jackson died because of the actions of ... Dr. Murray."

The judge said he looked at Murray's whole life, and he was impressed.  But he added Dr. Murray's recklessness with Jackson overshadowed the doc's good deeds, calling the treatment, "a cycle of horrible medicine."

The Judge noted, "Dr. Murray engaged in a recurring, continuous pattern of deceit and lies."
 
The Judge was incredulous, saying far from being remorseful, "There's umbrage and outrage on the part of Dr. Murray against the decedent."  The judge was making note of Murray's critical comments about MJ in his recently-aired documentary.

In the end, the judge said, "Dr. Murray abandoned his patient," calling his conduct ... "medicine madness,"  "egregious" and "a disgrace to the medical profession."

Brian Panish, attorney for Jackson family, read a statement:  "We still look at each other in disbelief.  Is it really possible he is gone?"  The statement goes on ...  "We are not here to seek revenge.  There is nothing you can do here today that will bring Michael back."  In terms of the sentence, the family said: "We respectfully request you impose a sentence that reminds physicians they cannot sell their services to the highest bidder."

Prosecutor David Walgren, who asked the judge to impose the maximum, 4-year prison sentence, reminded the judge ... Dr. Murray repeatedly lied to authorities about the events in the bedroom where Michael died.  He also noted the recklessness of Murray's medical treatment.   Walgren called Murray's treatment a "pharmaceutical experiment."  Walgren said, "The defendant was playing Russian Roulette with Michael Jackson's life every single night."

Walgren also asked for $100 million in restitution for MJ's kids, because that's what Michael Jackson would have made in the "This Is It" tour. Walgren also wanted Murray to pay a fair amount for the $1.8 million funeral.

Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff, told Judge Pastor, Dr. Murray did not want to address the court, but the lawyer said no doubt Jackson's death is a tragedy that demands punishment, but Murray's "book of life" is much better than this one chapter.  Chernoff noted Murray was born "dirt poor" in Grenada and led an exemplary life that made him a cardiologist. But Chernoff noted Murray "will always be known as the guy who killed Michael Jackson."  Chernoff did say, "Michael Jackson was a drug seeker, and Dr. Murray was wrong in providing it."

As for restitution ... Chernoff shockingly never addressed the obvious -- that Jackson is worth more dead than alive.  All he said was Murray couldn't afford to pay it..

The former child prostitute who claims she was raped by Lawrence Taylor is suing the former NFL star for assault and battery ... claiming she "repeatedly tried to push Taylor off of her" during their 2010 encounter  .... but he forced himself inside of her anyway.

Gloria Allred and her client Cristina Fierro -- now 18 years old -- spoke today during a news conference in NYC, announcing Fierro had filed the lawsuit ... in which she is demanding unspecified damages.

Fierro claims Taylor had sex with her -- despite several visible wounds left behind by her pimp, who allegedly beat her into a bloody pulp before ordering her to have sex with the NFL star.

Taylor was sentenced to 6 months probation this year after pleading guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing an underage prostitute.

Attempts to reach Taylor were unsuccessful.

Charlotte Church: I was offered �100k to sing at Rupert Murdoch's wedding

Junior counsel to the inquiry, Carine Patry Hoskins said that News International have denied these allegations, insisting that Church's performance was a surprise to Murdoch. But Church says she received a specific request from Murdoch to sing 'Pie Jesu'.

The singer also described an incident when an article appeared in The Sun about her pregnancy with her first child. She said that she believed her voicemail messages from her doctor were hacked into as only the doctor, herself and her partner knew about the pregnancy.

Asked whether she had any particular evidence of the hacking of her doctor's phone, Church replied:

"I don't have any particular evidence of that, I have evidence my phone was hacked obviously.. but I hadn't told anybody apart from when I'd gone to have my initial scan. I just can't see that it came from any other area.

"My family were really upset that I hadn't told them first and that it had come out this way.

"It was my news to tell and the opportunity was taken away from me," the singer added.

Church lodged a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission about the article and the complaint was upheld.

The "Leather Meets Lace" party at the Playboy Mansion has triggered a lawsuit, filed by men who allegedly had to pay for admission while "gorgeous ladies" did not.

Steve Frye is suing on behalf of all men who paid $1,000 to get into the shindig.  In his lawsuit, Frye claims he was fried when he learned "gorgeous ladies" got in free.

Frye claims the double standard is sex discrimination, pure and simple.  He also says offering these women free admission "promotes harmful, negative stereotypes."

He's suing for unspecified damages ... and a life.

Mariah Yeater's Lawyer to Ex-BF: You're a Media Whore Hypocrite

Filed under: Justin Bieber

1128_leving_robbi_EX_01
The lawyer for Justin Bieber's alleged baby mama Mariah Yeater is now taking aim at the girl's ex-BF -- telling TMZ, he's guilty of the same thing he accused Mariah of ... exploiting her child for media attention.

As we first reported, Mariah's ex Robbie Powell claims he's positive he's the real father of her child -- not Justin Bieber -- and he's willing to cough up the DNA sample to prove it ... because he's tired of Yeater using the kid for publicity.

But Mariah's lawyer Jeffrey Leving says Robbie's just playing into the media mayhem surrounding the story -- telling us, "If Robbie Powell 'actually' believes and claims he is the father, I suggest he contact me directly. Litigating this case in the media and bypassing Mariah's legal team only perpetuates the three-ring circus and accomplishes nothing as I see it."

As for Powell ... the baby daddy drama has already raised his street value -- because he's already been approached by several media outlets to tell his side of the story ... and he's entertaining multiple offers.

As much as we can't wait to see Michelle Williams's critically-acclaimed performance as Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe when My Week with Marilyn hits screen this Friday, it's red carpet favourite Emma Watson's appearance in the film that is intriguing us the most.

Watson, who rose to fame playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise, plays Lucy, a wardrobe assistant in what marks her first non-Hermione role on the silver screen, and the film's costume designer, Jill Taylor, has revealed what it was like to dress the Oxford-born actress.

"She was so up for a new look," said Taylor, who had just six weeks to create vintage-styles costumes for the film's entire cast.

"She was very excited about the whole thing. I made her look very Sandra Dee-like, girly and young. She's a lovely girl and very keen. I thought I might have a child star brat on my hands, but that wasn't how she was at all. She was interested in everything - a real sweetheart" Taylor told Vogue .

Emma Watson's style file

A still from the movie shows a bare-faced Watson (below) with her pixie haircut enhanced to form a head of barrel curls, dressed in a stripy cotton dress nipped in at the waist and a cropped twinset cardigan. But for the film's London premiere (above), Watson, 21, was back in high-fashion mode in a belted top by Jason Wu (designer of Michelle Obama's inauguration gown) embellished with Swarovski Elements and paired with a black mini skirt and a perspex clutch bag by Charlotte Olympia.

T.I. -- Some Gays are 'Not American'

Filed under: T.I.

1126_ti_tmz
T.I. thinks gays need to get over themselves ... at least the ones who try and muzzle people from telling harmless jokes.

T.I. was discussing gay rights with Vibe magazine -- an issue he says he supports -- and then mentioned Tracy Morgan's controversial comments earlier this year:

"Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy say during a stand-up was, 'C'mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a d**k, you can take a joke.' [Cracks up laughing.] That s**t was funny to me. And it’s kind of true."

Then T.I. unloaded ... talking about oversensitivity in the gay community, which he believes betrays the First Amendment which guarantees freedom of speech.

 "They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ ... That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace."

So we ask ...

Demure Rihanna gives critics the boot

Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom later cleared the X Factor for family audiences but in September set out new guidelines ordering that programmes shown before 9pm should not feature skimpy outfits or raunchy performances.

Earlier this year, Rihanna fell foul of a Northern Ireland farmer who objected to her "inappropriate" attire as she filmed the video for We Found Love in his field near Bangor, County Down.

Her expletive-daubed footwear is just the latest controversy to hit the X Factor, which recently booted out teenage contestant Frankie Cocozza over drugs. Viewer ratings have plunged.

Meanwhile, contestant Craig Colton, 23, was kicked off the show last night after the show after a public vote.

Miley Cyrus -- Calls Herself a 'Stoner' and a 'Pothead'

Filed under: Miley Cyrus


1127_miley_cyrus
Miley Cyrus talked her way out of the bong scandal by saying she smoked salvia -- but at her birthday party last week, she seemingly admitted to a room full of people ... she's a major pothead.

In a video obtained by The Daily, Miley gets on the mic and addresses the crowd at her party at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles. Once the cake has been brought out, Miley says, "You know you’re a stoner when friends make you a Bob Marley cake. You know you smoke way too much f***in’ weed."

Her good pal Kelly Osbourne, standing right next to her, even made reference to the salvia incident, saying, "I thought salvia was your problem."

It was just before her birthday last year when Miley was videotaped smoking out of a bong. She claimed it was salvia and not marijuana.



An email to Cyrus' rep was not returned.

update_bar
Kelly Osbourne has taken to her Twitter page to defend Miley, saying in part, "u guys if @MileyCyrus is not recording/filming/touring she is works everyday how could she possible do all that if she was a stoner! #think."

Wyclef Jean's Haitian Charity Accused of Impropriety

Filed under: Wyclef Jean

1127_wyclef_jean_reg
Wyclef Jean and his former charity, Yele Haiti, are facing new allegations that the bulk of the money they raised for the people of Haiti after the earthquake was misappropriated ... and some went right into his family's pocket ... allegedly.

Yele Haiti took in $16 million in 2010, according to records obtained by the NY Post. But the paper claims only $5.1 million went to emergency relief efforts, including food and water delivery to makeshift survivor camps.

According to the Post, a company called P&A Construction received $353,983. That company, the paper says, is run by Warnel Pierre ... Wyclef's brother-in-law.

The Post also says the documents show $1,008,000 went to a company called Amisphere Farm Labor Inc. -- a company the paper says never filed the proper paperwork in Florida so they can do business. However, the Post says a man listed as the company's head bought three properties in Florida last year, including a condo in an upscale waterfront community.

The charity came under fire in January 2010. Jean responded then by saying, ""Have we made mistakes? Yes. Did I ever use Yele money for personal benefit? Absolutely not."

Jean resigned as head of the charity in August 2010.

Emails to reps for both Jean and the charity were not returned.
