The Real Housewives of New Jersey Stars Preview New Season, "A Lot of Crazy"

Brace yourselves for shocking news: the new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will be full of drama.

At least that's the case if you believe Dina Manzo. At an event in New York City last week, she specifically called out fellow cast member Danielle Staub.

“Danielle loves drama. She loves every second of it and being the center of attention, whether it’s positive or negative," Manzo told Hollywoodlife.com.

And Staub's response to such an accusation? The former sex tape star attempted to take the high road.

“I’m not going to put stock in her opinion,” she said. “People are figuring out I’m not the person that [the wives] make me out to be... I try to live my life and stay away from them. I stay in the positive - look on my Facebook and Twitter. I do my absolute best to inspire people."



So, what can viewers expect on the new season, which premieres on May 3?

“It’s a lot of crazy. We’re Jersey so we keep it real and we’re a little bit more street than the other housewife series," Manzo hilariously said. "We’re not afraid to show everything – the good, the bad, the ugly. And you don’t mess with us, either!”

If you have any brains, or an iota of a life, you also don't watch them on TV.

Kristin Cavallari "Disappointed" in Heidi Montag

Is fame going to Heidi Montag's head? Has it been for the last five years?

The Hills vixen and co-star Kristin Cavallari certainly seems to think so.

"She changed her number, I can’t get a hold of her," she said recently.

At a recent MTV photo shoot, Heidi Montag showed up with four bodyguards and refused to pose with her other Hills cast members, acting like a total diva.

Even Spencer Pratt called her out on this behavior.

"No one saw her because no one was allowed to speak to her," Kristin said. "She didn’t even take the group photo with us which was really disappointing."



CLASH OF THE HILLS TITANS: Team Kristin or Team Heidi?

She did have a piece of bit for the results of the infamous Heidi Montag plastic surgery operations she underwent: "Honestly, Heidi looks better in person."

Well, that's not actually saying much, come on. But good try, Kristin.

The Hills final season trailer was just released in advance of the April 27 premiere. How would Kristin feel if former star and rival Lauren Conrad returned?

"I hope Lauren comes back," she says. "I think that would be awesome."

Lindsay Lohan Gets Paid Very Little Cash

Lindsay Lohan is a bit of a mess these days.

That's a point even Michael Lohan will agree with us on, even if we disagree with that nut job's methods of reaching out to his troubled daughter.

So disturbed is Lindsay that she can't find consistent work in film anymore and has had to resort to making a living off of personal appearances.

Which is all good if you're Kim Kardashian and commanding more than your own TV show is willing to pay you. But Lohan is no Kim Kardashian.

Wow, how sad is that statement?

Not as sad as the fact that even clubs think she's so much of a liability that they would rather shell out the big bucks for Heidi Montag or even Snooki.

A source says that "When Lindsay does get paid for attending events, she now gets less than Snooki makes. It is sad and it is only getting worse."

"The few people that care about Lindsay want her to get help, but she is scared to trust, thanks to her father, and she doesn’t want to hear this."

"We are worried for Lindsay and where her life is going. She will open up to assistants that are dropping something off or helping her for an event."

"She needs good friends and she has none. Lindsay is in crisis. Lindsay is really going through a lot right now. She feels like everyone leaves her."

"If she does get work, which is rare, someone has to basically be by her side to get her ready for the event or meeting and make sure she shows.”

Very reliable sources also reveal that you can get LiLo to show up for an event in Los Angeles for $2,500 these days - 2-4 times less than Snooki.

What's more, the transactions are supposedly done through Lohan's assistant and she gets paid in cash. Convenient for her white powder habits.

Justin Bieber at the White House: On Drums, Looking Cute

First, the cast of Glee. Now, Justin Bieber.

Targeting the tween demographic, Barack Obama made one of his smartest decisions as President this weekend: he asked the 16-year old crooner to perform at the 2010 Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House.

Bieber entertained fans with “One Time” and “Baby," telling those in attendance:

“What a lovely crowd. How many of you guys think it’s a beautiful day out here? It’s a beautiful day! It’s a good time to play my new song, "U Smile."



From there, Bieber put on a rendition of classic singles, including Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” and Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.”

He even took to the drums on the latter song, as shown in the following video. First, though, check out a few more photos of Justin Bieber from this weeke

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Evan Lysacek Sets the Gold Standard

Evan Lysacek is not interested in silver medals.

Having already conquered the Winter Olympics in figure skating, the 24-year-old is looking to pair his gold medal with a silver Dancing with the Stars disco ball.

If last night is any indication, he's the man to beat. He and Anna Trebunskaya bested the field by a considerable margin and got a standing O for the quickstep.

Also cementing their status as contenders this season were Nicole Scherzinger, the first two weeks' top scorer, and Erin Andrews, who showed grace and poise.

Despite threats from a crazy stalker, Erin is no quitter, and she and Maksim Chmerkovskiy tied Nicole and Derek Hough for Monday's #2 scores.

At the bottom of the heap were Buzz Aldrin, predictably, and Kate Gosselin, who didn't exactly make Tony Dovolani look like Babe Ruth with his predictions.



Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya stood (and sat) alone.

Here's a tiered breakdown of last night's Dancing with the Stars scores. Note the logjam of vulnerable couples in between the top three and the bottom two ...

Fashion Face-Off: AnnaLynne McCord vs. Kristin Cavallari

McCord vs. Kristin Cavallari
April 6th, 2010 6:08 AM by Free Britney Filed under: AnnaLynne McCord, Kristin Cavallari
Leave it to AnnaLynne McCord and Kristin Cavallari to class up Hollywood.

Wearing a dress that looks as if were accidentally ripped while exiting a cab, both young starlets debuted their skanky chic look while out on the town recently.

Both look pretty hot in a trashy sort of way, who are we kidding?

Who wore it best/skankiest, though, the 90210 cast member or The Hills' resident bad girl? That's for you to decide, fashion critics ...

Gerard Butler: Dating Laurie Cholewa?

Looks like Jennifer Aniston doesn't have Gerard Butler all to herself.

While he was seen grabbing that booty in Paris recently, setting off rumors once again that he and Jennifer are a couple (or at least friends with benefits), new reports say he struck up a relationship with Laurie Cholewa that same weekend.

Butler met Cholewa, a local TV interviewer, the prior weekend, then returned to Paris midweek for a date with Laurie Cholewa that stretched from day into night.

Sounds serious! Or at least like they were having a nice time.



Has Gerard Butler got his eye on Laurie Cholewa?

The two were seen strolling hand in hand through the French capital, visiting landmarks like the Louvre museum, where they ate lunch at the Café Marly.

They had dinner on the Left Bank that same evening.

A source reports that despite all of the Jennifer Aniston rumors, Butler "completely cracked" for Cholewa during their interview about The Bounty Hunter.

Cholewa, a film reporter, hosts a show on local cable channel, Direct 8. Poor Jen. First the worst Hollywood split ever and now she still can't get a break.
