Audrina Patridge talks about new show, old boyfriend

Audrina Patridge

Audrina Patridge is moving beyond The Hills, but she’s staying at MTV.

“It’s like my home,” she tells People of the network that picked up her new show, which will cover her life after The Hills.

“I’m going to be a producer on my new show with Mark Burnett,” she said Tuesday at the Reebok “EasyTone” Footwear Celebration at a private home in Beverly Hills. “We start filming at the end of the summer.”

Audrina has said the show will be “spicier, edgier, older,” and will focus on “new love” and “romances.”

One of those romances may very well be with her ex, Australian BMX rider Corey Bohan, who joined her recently on a Mexican vacation.

“When I start filming my show that kind of stuff will be on it,” she said of their trip.

But are the exes officially back together? “Corey and I have an amazing time together. My family loves him. We’ve been spending a lot of time together,” she said. “I’m not jinxing anything because as soon as I say anything, I swear it goes bad. And then it like flips around and you’re like, ‘Why did I say anything?’ We’ll see what happens.”

Audrina is taking a similar approach to upcoming episodes of The Hills, which will star Lauren Conrad’s Laguna Beach nemesis Kristin Cavallari.

“I know she’s in it now,” she says of Cavallari. “But it’s a matter of how she fits in, and we’ve only filmed a couple times and I really don’t know [if she'll be the focus].”

But it sounds like there may already be drama brewing. “I don’t really know her. I don’t talk to her,” Audrina says. “Like, I really don’t care.”

Elisabeth Hasselbeck dismissess plagiarism claim

Elisabeth Hasselbeck

No worries, says Elisabeth Hasselbeck – who took a brief moment during Wednesday’s The View to comment on the copyright infringement charge against her by a Massachusetts author.

“I just want to assure you the allegations are without merit and are being handled appropriately,” said Hasselbeck, 32, who has spoken openly about her self-diagnosed celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder linked to gluten proteins in wheat, barley and rye.

Hasselbeck’s book, The G Free Diet-A Gluten-Free Survival Guide, was published in May 2009 by Center Street Hachette Book Group. Crying foul, and seeking $3 million, is Susan Hassett, who claims that in 2008 she had sent Hasselbeck a copy of her own book – the self-published Living with Celiac Disease – along with a homemade cooking video, a newspaper story about celiac disease, her business card and a personal note.

The message expressed Hassett’s hope that Hasselbeck was well and noted that the TV personality was lucky to catch her celiac disease early. Hassett also offered to discuss her book with Hasselbeck in order to spread the word about celiac disease to her viewers. In return, she never received so much as a thank you, says Hassett.

Instead, Hassett claims Hasselbeck infringed on Hassett’s copyright by stealing her material “word for word” and copying the format of her book. In her lawsuit, filed Monday in Boston federal court, Hassett says she will donate a portion of whatever proceeds she receives from the suit to create a camp designed for children with celiac disease.

On Tuesday, a statement released on behalf of Center Street and Hasselbeck, said, in part, “There is no basis for the allegations in the Complaint as published in the press. Ms. Hasselbeck worked diligently and tirelessly on her book and is disappointed in this attempt to discredit her work and her ability to bring this important message to the public.”

Jonathan Rhys Meyers held after airport brawl

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was detained by French police on Saturday afternoon following an incident in which he allegedly assaulted an airport lounge employee while drunk, Agence France Presse reports.

The Irish actor, 31, was placed in custody for several hours for having a skirmish with bar employees and allegedly punching one at the Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris, according to reports.

The incident began when a bartender at the café area “Le Quotidien” in the departure area of the airport at terminal 2F refused to serve the actor, who appeared drunk, according to the news service. A shouting match developed between Rhys Meyers and the bar manager. Then when another bar employee tried to separate the pair, Rhys Meyers swung and punched the intervening waiter.

Police handcuffed the actor when placing him in custody, and sources tell PEOPLE that the actor remained in a sober lock-up area for three hours before being released.

The AFP reports that Rhys Meyers has been told to appear before the Correctional Tribunal in Bobigny in September to answer charges concerning, “voluntary violence, contempt, issuing death threats and assault,” according to a judicial source.

The Tudors actor was previously arrested for public intoxication in November 2007 at the Dublin airport. In April of the same year he spent time in a rehab facility for treatment.

A rep for Rhys Meyers had no comment.

Kate Gosselin: Jon wanted the divorce

Kate Gosselin

Despite an announcement that divorce proceedings have begun, “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ matriarch Kate Gosselin is still wearing her wedding ring because taking it off would devastate her children.

Kate Gosselin explained to People magazine in an exclusive interview that it was her husband of 10 years, Jon Gosselin, who asked for the divorce.

“I curled up in a ball and I sobbed. I couldn’t breathe; I was hyperventilating. I was scaring people who were calling to check on me because I couldn’t even talk,” she told the entertainment magazine.

In a confessional during Monday’s night’s episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” she said she didn’t want to raise her children as a single parent.

“I don’t really want to be alone. I don’t want to do this alone,” she said.

Gosselin said her husband wanted to split for a long time before he told her he hired a lawyer and advised her to do the same. She said it’s a step she would have never taken on her own.

People magazine deputy managing editor Peter Castro told “Good Morning America” that the situation is “the portrait of an American family crumbling.”

“They don’t hate each other,” he said, but “[Jon] did not want any part of counseling; he wanted out of this marriage.”

“It’s real reality television,” he said.

The Gosselins admitted on Monday night’s episode that they had been living increasingly separate lives for the past two years, and Kate Gosselin said the breaking point in the marriage was not a result of the show or tabloid scrutiny.

“I believe it is a chapter that would have probably would have played out had the world been watching or not,” Kate Gosselin said.

Justin Timberlake did not cheat on Jessica Biel

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel

Contrary to popular belief and Lindsay Lohan’s tweets, Justin Timberlake has not cheated on Jessica Biel — and he has proof!

A nightclub owner is defending Justin, blasting reports that he cheated on Jessica. Witnesses saw Justin with a mystery girl, thus setting in motion the rumors that he was stepping out on his girlfriend.

Noah Tepperberg, owner of the club where JT was partying, said, “My partner, Danny A., was with Justin and a few of his guy friends the entire night, and I was within 15 feet of him the whole time he was there, and we know for sure he was not doing anything with other girls.”

He added, “He was having a good time with the guys, and came and left with them. I have surveillance cameras that show this to be the case and anything you are hearing is simply not true.”

Johnny Depp is a good tipper

Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp wow’d a waiter while in Chicago after he stopped in at Gibson’s steakhouse. The waiter, Mohammed Sekhani, said that the actor left him a really nice tip — to the tune of $4,000!!

Sekhani said, “Johnny and his party arrived just after 11:30pm at the restaurant and requested a private room. He had visited our restaurant several times before while he was filming Public Enemies and he promised me that he would return after the premiere.’

Sekhani said that Depp and his entourage ordered shrimp cocktails while they prepared Clams Casino for him.

Sekhani added, “He also ordered some $500 bottles of Italian wine and he was in good spirits throughout the evening chatting with Mr. Mann and Miss Cotillard. I have worked with a lot of stars like Sean Connery and Robert De Niro but Johnny Depp is my favorite. He is a very soft spoken guy who is charming and sweet – when I wait for him he doesn’t like to too fussed over and is not in any way demanding.”

Isn’t it always nice to hear that some actors aren’t so full of themselves? Just another reason to love Johnny!
