Gary Shirley Starting Dad-Daughter Clothing Line

Rotund Teen Mom baby daddy and frequent punching bag Gary Shirley is working on a new clothing line specifically for dads and daughters.
Seriously, this is a real project.
The former fiance of Amber Portwood is calling the line "Gary Time" and the logo will have a "big clock," says a source close to Leah's father.
Gary and Leah Shirley
IT'S GARY TIME: The "big clock" currently reads 14:57.
The Gary Shirley source adds: "The shirts have already been made. He knows he has the platform from Teen Mom and can turn it into something to make money."
That platform also goes by the name Leah. Pray for her.

Michael Jackson Manslaughter Case: Five New Revelations From Preliminary Hearing

Last week was not a good one for Dr. Conrad Murray.
In the opening days of the preliminary hearing to determine whether or not there is enough evidence for him to stand trial on involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Michael Jackson, prosecutors unleashed a deluge of evidence.
While much of the alleged proof of his guilt - and Dr. Murray's defense - has been out there for some time, here were five revelations that were news to THG ...
A Conrad Murray PhotoMike Jack
1. The children saw it. Yes, MJ's kids watched him die. Tragically, Prince and Paris Jackson watched as Murray frantically attempted to revive the pop star.
2. Murray had never done CPR. During efforts to revive MJ, his Head of Security, Faheem Muhammad, says Murray asked, "Does anyone know CPR?"
3. He allegedly tried to cover his tracks. The Michael Jackson death timeline has been debated at length, but the prosecution just played its hand.
When it became clear there was a problem, Murray waited a full 21 minutes before calling 911, at which point he failed to mention the Propofol thing.
During that time, instead, in addition to attempting to revive Michael, he phoned his girlfriend, Jackson's personal assistant and fired off several texts.
4. His behavior was beyond sketchy. Paramedic Richard Senneff said Murray was "sweating" and "hyperkinetic" in the aftermath of what happened.
Sure, that's natural given MJ's collapse, but he also failed to disclose any of the medications he had put Jackson on and would not call a time of death.
Senneff said it was clear Jackson was dead, but Murray urged him against "calling it." MJ was driven to the hospital, where ER docs found him DOA.
5. People grieve in different ways. Apparently. In Murray's case, he announced he was hungry at the hospital, went to find food and peaced out.
When deputies later showed up to begin questioning Murray at the hospital, no one was sure of his whereabouts, leaving him briefly a wanted man.
NOTE: Remember that Murray's defense team has elected to more or less sit this hearing out, let the D.A. play its hand and prepare for trial.
Since this is not the doctor's actual trial, but merely a hearing to decide if he'll stand trial (he will), the defense chose an "observe and report" tack.

Lindsay Lohan: Mentored By Tom Hardy

Actor Tom Hardy starred in Inception among other films. Now he's taking on a far more difficult challenge in play mentor to Lindsay Lohan.
Someone is trying to plant an idea in her head about how to stay sober. That's a good thing, and a fellow patient might be the best route.
She needs someone she respects and with whom she can truly relate. Otherwise, we might see Lindsay Lohan wasted again before long.
Tom Hardy PicLinds in Trouble
LiLo has a struck a friendship with Hardy recently after the pair were introduced by a mutual friend. They even met for dinner one night last week.
Tom is giving now Lindsay advice on how to stay sober and sources say that believe it or not, Lindsay is actually seriously really listening to him.

State Department to Jermaine Jackson: Enjoy Africa, Deadbeat!

Who would have guessed when Jermaine Jackson took a trip to Burkina Faso in Africa that he would end up stuck there because of his failure to pay child support.
His passport expired and he can't get a new one until he does.
How does that work? In 2008, Jermaine's baby mama Alejandra Jackson (mom of Jafaar and Jermajesty), had a judge issue a support order for $3,000/month.
Jermaine Jackson Pic
Jermaine has racked up $91,921 in back child support since.
Under California law, if someone owes more than $2,500 a month, the state informs the U.S. government, which often will red flag that person's passport.
Once the passport expires, it cannot be renewed until the person becomes current on their outstanding support obligations. Now here's where it gets crazy.
Jermaine's passport expired during his trip, so he can't get a new one and is stuck overseas until he comes up with the cash or the U.S. Embassy intervenes.
The Embassy will often issue temporary papers so the person can return to the U.S. in certain situations, but we don't imagine they're in a huge rush here.
Who doesn't renew their passport so it doesn't expire by the time they come back from an international trip? Dude should be kept there out of stupidity.
Also, not only can he not support his kids, but he names one of them Jermajesty and the other one tries to taser Blanket. Not cool, Jermaine. Not cool.

Jenelle Evans, Teen Mom 2 Star, Charged With Drug Possession, Breaking and Entering

Looks like trouble for this Teen Mom, too.
Jenelle Evans was charged with breaking and entering and drug possession after she and boyfriend Kieffer Delp broke into a vacant property this fall.
Local officers discovered the troubled Oak Island, N.C., twosome in possession of half an ounce of marijuana and a pipe at the time of the break-in.
Jenelle Evans Picture
JENELLE AND JACE: Poor kid. Poor. Kid.
Police arrived at the house and announced their presence - but nobody came to the door for 10 minutes. They then found one of the back doors ajar.
They entered the residence and found Jenelle Evans in the back bedroom with the lights off. Delp had peaced out but was caught near the property.
He admitted to owning the marijuana and paraphernalia upon his apprehension. The pair were arrested, held on $3,000 bail and later charged.
They are set to appear in court again on January 10 - a day before Jenelle's new show premieres on MTV on Tuesday - convenient for the ratings!
Former 16 and Pregnant star Jenelle will star alongside three other teen moms in the new series - Chelsea Houska, Leah Messer and Kailyn Lowry.
All four appeared in the second season of 16 and Pregnant.
Jenelle signed over 'primary legal custody and primary physical custody' of her 16-month-old son, Jace, to her mother Barbara on June 10.

Congratulations to the happy couple and new family!

Kate Middleton Wedding Outfit: Did She Boob?

Last month, a tabloid pretended that Kate Middleton was in crisis, mostly due to a few leaked photos that depicted her family in an embarrassing situation.
But this story is very real, and very troubling: the princess-to-be was spotted at a wedding in Boroughbridge, donning an ensemble that many in the British press considered too revealing.
Too Sheer?Kate Middleton Wedding Outfit
Based on the sheer top above, British newspaper News of the World wondered if William's fiancee went bra-lass, headlining a front-page article with: "Did Kate Boob?"
It's a pressing question, one answered by Royal Watcher Katie Nicholl, who told Us Weekly: "Kate doesn't have a stylist, so she is making her own fashion decisions at the moment. The outfit could be considered racy, but it was also beautiful and elegant."
Do you agree? Or did Middleton cross a line?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Sip, See, Sing, Bitch

How did Phaedra Parks and Apollo outdo Kate Middleton and Prince William on The Real Housewives of Atlanta this week? Let's find out from our show correspondent, who has reviewed the latest installment of this Bravo series...
Phaedra prepped for Aydan's baby debut by hosting a (traditional Southern?) "Sip & See" party. Not only is Phaedra a lawyer/businesswoman/Renaissance Goddess, but she's also Atlanta's answer to Martha Stewart.
Chatting with Apollo, she worried that her guests may just be attending the party for gossip material.  Apparently, Atlanta is "Haterville" and since Phaedra and Apollo are too fabulous for words, they're on everyone's hit list.
Introducing Ayden
Cynthia and 50-year-old Peter had a tense dinner at home.  Sipping wine from a bottle with a twist-off cap (because nothing says elegance like some Julio Gallo wine), 50-year-old Peter shared his worries with Cynthia. 
Uptown, 50-year-old Peter's supper club, is in trouble since investors for the club are dropping like flies. Discussing their financial troubles over a glass of wine, Cynthia advised 50-year-old Pete to sell the club in order to have enough money for their wedding.  Prickly Pete bristled at the idea and Cynthia started to fester.
Over at Phaedra's shindig, Dwight introduced the "royal family." All the ladies were in attendance.  Even Kim showed up to make nice with Phaedra.  Kim fawned over baby Aydan and all of Phaedra's worries about Kim creating drama were for naught.  Phaedra had a long chat with Kim on the terrace. 
Phaedra grilled Kim about being a registered nurse and Kim actually pulled out the paperwork to prove it.  If the state of Connecticut saw fit to license Kim, then that's good enough for Queen Phaedra.  Let the "two-facedness" cease!
Nene checked in at 11 Alive and started taping some station IDs and taglines for her "Keeping It Real With Nene" segments.
Kim and Sweetie started packing for Kim's upcoming promo tour with Kandi.  Kim managed to weasel Sweetie into giving her B-12 shots in preparation for Kim's "rigorous" tour schedule.  Fugly Brielle had a breakdown when she found out Mom and Sweetie will both be gone for seven days.  Kim explained to her that Mam is now a big pop star and has to make a living.  Brielle should be thankful for a week of peace and quiet.
Kandi and Kim had their first radio show interview in Charlotte.  It's been 10 years since Kandi's last solo album, so the record label thought smaller clubs were the best way to start.
Don Juan, Kandi's tour manager, rubs Kim the wrong way.  Kim doesn't like the regiment imposed by Don Juan.  Comparing it to a military operation, ADD-stricken Kim doesn't like rules and regulations thrown her way.  Kim especially doesn't like the tour bus "situation."  Bunks?  No smoking?  Barely enough room to pee, much less breathe?  Here comes trouble.
Talk to Kim's Hand!
Nene brought Brent to her Jermaine Dupri interview for moral support.  Nene towered over the monosyllabic "little munchkin."  Instructed by Jermaine's publicist to not ask anything about Janet Jackson, Nene struggled to hold a decent conversation with him.
Finally, the ice was broken when Nene brought up Kim's "Tardy for the Party." Jermaine then took Nene on a tour of the house. When Nene took off her seven-inch heels, she was almost the same height as Jermaine. She shot hoops with him.
Stopping at the Thirsty Beaver Saloon for a drink, Don Juan managed to further piss off Kim by misinterpreting the lyrics of "The Ring Didn't Mean A Thing."  Big Poppa, adultery and cheating are not topics to be discussed around pristine Kim.  How dare Don Juan ruin Kim's tour buzz!
Cynthia and 50-year-old Peter got counseling from Hill Harper.  Not only is he the CSI: NY guy, but a relationship expert as well.  Maybe he can dissect what's wrong with these two because all is not well in La La land.  Cynthia wants her money back from her investment in Uptown and Prickly Pete is upset that Cynthia can't grasp the concept of what marriage and compromise mean.  This does not bode well.  Cynthia and Prickly Pete's lack of communication may end up jeopardizing Cynthia's dream wedding.
Kandi and Kim arrived at Club Tempo for their big gig.  Kim ran around like a chicken without a head, chain-smoking and boozing it up, while Kandi just wanted a few moments of peace before the show.  Good luck with that!  Kim didn't seem to realize that this is not the happy-go-lucky-love-the-tranny-queen-Kim gay crowd.  This is hip-hop and hip-hop don't play.
But surprise, surprise, Kim acted like Kim, went off-course and the crowd still loved her!  Oh yeah... and Kandi did an acapella version of "Haven't Loved Right" and floored Club Tempo as well.

Next stop: Orlando.  But not before some more whining from Kim regarding the bunks.  Life on the road is such a bitch!

Sandra Bullock & Ryan Reynolds: The Secret Getaway!

If newly-single stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are just friends, they have a funny way of showing it. Well, if this report is true at least.
The A-listers, who co-starred in The Proposal, have been making top-secret getaways to her home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, reports indicate.
The actors were publicly spotted on New Year's Eve in Austin, Texas, after which they denied they are dating and said they are just friends. But ...
Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock Pic
These two are making news as it is. Imagine if this were true!
A source with knowledge of the situation claims that the two "are very much dating, and trying to keep a low profile." Tabloid dreams? Maybe realized!
Fresh off her divorce from Jesse James and his surprise split from wife Scarlett Johansson, Sandra and Ryan are understandably wary of going public.
Enter Bullock's secluded Jackson Hole residence.
Sandy has owned the home for  years, and loves that she's left alone there. "She feels very comfortable having Ryan there with her," a source said.
"Sandy and Ryan are just enjoying spending time together ... They have known each other for years and already they have a built-in familiarity."
"It's great to see Sandy with a true smile on her face. Ryan has made at least two trips to Jackson Hole, and her friends except more to come."
Anybody believe this is true and Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock are actually a couple? Doubtful. Anybody want to believe it? You know it!

Whoa: Lucid Amy Winehouse Surfaces in Brazil

Amy Winehouse took to the mic in South America this weekend to do what she does best. Actually, wait, she was there to sing, not snort coke.
The 27-year-old singer performed in Brazil the other night and didn't collapse, flash her private parts or bungle the entire set. Wild, we know.
Dressed in a pink and white gingham dress which a dipping chest neck line, Amy wore her hair in a ponytail and not her trademark beehive:

WELCOME BACK: Who knew Wino was still alive! Nice!
The Back to Black singer belted out a number of tunes from her collection and performed a number of covers at the Summer Soul Festival in Florianopolis.
At this point, it's been just over four years since she released her Grammy-winning album Back To Black. Still waiting for that much-anticipated follow-up.
One piece of advice would be to ditch her now ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil. It's unclear if that dude is back in the picture or not. Here's hoping for not.
