Now, Laurita – who famously betrayed her sisters-in-laws Dina and Caroline Manzo by claiming that Dina uncovered the book about Staub’s crime-ridden past – tells the new issue of Us Weekly she and Staub no longer speak. (On Tuesday, federal court records surfaced detailing Staub’s deep involvement in a kidnapping plot, a $24,000 drug deal and an “escort service” – all of which she denies.)

“I am not friends with Danielle,” Laurita emphatically tells Us Weekly. Adds the mother-of-three (who welcomed a boy, Nicholas, June 11): “She has never seen the baby, nor will I ever show her. I learned my family was right about her all along.”

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson keep everyone guessing as to whether they have reconciled! Covering up in a hoodie, a very camera-shy Lindsay was spotted entering a salon. However, a camera-ready Lindsay later emerged, happily showing off what appeared to be new, darker red locks. A smiling Lindsay was then driven off to an unknown location, where she clearly met up with on/off/on/off girlfriend Samantha Ronson, as the DJ arrived back at her LA home at 2am with Lindsay in her car. A happy Sam popped out of the house a 2.30am to take pet pooch Cadillac for a quick comfort break before retiring for the evening.

Jon Gosselin is speaking about ex Kate’s recent statement about their divorce.

After filing papers Monday, Kate told The Associated Press: “Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children.” She added that “it was appropriate and necessary” for her to initiate this proceeding but refused to discuss why.

In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, Jon says:

“Yesterday, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my No. 1 priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe.

“My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that. This will be a difficult transition for all of us, but Kate and I will work out a schedule that enables our kids to have plenty of quality time with both of us at home in Pennsylvania.

“I am deeply saddened that we are divorcing, and also hurt by the statement Kate made last night about the divorce. I have always done everything I can to protect our family.

“The one thing I do agree with in Kate’s statement is her desire to resolve things amicably. Of course emotions are running high for both of us right now, but for the sake of our children and our family’s privacy, I hope that we can both limit our public comments about the legal proceedings going forward.”

Before ending his statement, Jon said his Father’s Day last weekend was one of his best ones yet because, “I was home with the kids for four days, just being a dad. No nannies, just the kids and me. In fact, with the exception of Aaden’s visit to the doctor, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to spend Fathers Day weekend.”

In divorce papers filed Monday – the same day they announced the split to record ratings on their TLC show – Kate said her marriage to Jon is “irretrievably broken.”

While filing for a no-fault divorce in Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County Court, she also said she is willing to “negotiate a fair and reasonable” settlement with him.

Nearly everywhere Angie and Brad have gone, their four oldest children — Maddox, Pax and the boys’ sisters, Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 2 — have been seen with them. Noticeably absent, however, have been the couple’s two youngest kids, twins Vivienne and Knox, who’ll turn 1 on July 12. In fact, the twins have been spotted in public only once since January: when they were rushed through an airport near Tokyo while being closely guarded by their parents. Since then, they’ve remained in hiding — leading to speculation that something could be wrong.

Now Life & Style has learned that Brad and Angelina have been seriously concerned about the twins’ health. The babies are suffering from serious digestive problems, says an insider close to the family. “They’re both hypersensitive,” the insider tells Life & Style. “Knox has trouble holding down his food. He spits up nearly every meal.” Vivienne, meanwhile, has food and environmental allergies, explains the insider: “Right now, she’s on a lactose and gluten-free diet, and she’s still underweight.”

Angelina, 34, and Brad, 45, have been so worried, they’ve had the twins undergo genetic testing and have been adamant about keeping them behind closed doors. In truth, the real reason Brad and Angelina have been reluctant to take the twins out has to do with their own fears, says the insider. “Because of their delicate state, Knox and Vivienne need to be kept away from anything they could possibly be allergic to,” the insider explains. “That’s a lot easier to do when they’re home and in a controlled environment.”

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have split, Usmagazine.com has learned.

A source close to the couple tells Us: “It was an amicable break-up. They walk away from it still friends.”

Adds another source, “They still care about each other very much. This is what’s best for both of them.”

The couple hooked up in 2006 — the year after Lachey split from wife Jessica Simpson.

In 2007, Minnillo told Us she wanted to have kids with Lachey: “I always say I want three boys and a girl, but at the end of the day, I just want healthy kids.”
