CARRIE PREJEAN'S body may be a temple, but God didn't build it up to her standards . . . so she got breast implants. --But Carrie would like you to know that God is COOL with her fake boobs. She tells "Christianity Today", quote, "I don't think there's anything wrong with getting breast implants as a Christian. I think it's a personal decision. --I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says you shouldn't get breast implants."

CARRIE PREJEAN has been telling everyone who'll listen that she was just a dumb teenager . . . only 17 . . . when she made that HUGE MISTAKE of sending her boyfriend an erotic video of herself. --But that boyfriend . . . who refuses to be identified . . . says that's a LIE. He claims she was 20 . . . and she filmed the video in question in 2007. He also claims she sent him between 15 and 20 MORE. --The ex says that Carrie and her people even called him and asked him to LIE, and say she was 17. He refused, obviously.

CARRIE PREJEAN has accused DONALD TRUMP of FIXING part of the Miss USA Pageant. She said that HE chose certain women to advance before the judges could even see them . . .And she claimed that Donald separated the women into two lines . . . one for the hotter girls and one for the rest. --Well, it turns out this is all basically true. But the question is . . . does it matter??? --TMZ posted some audio yesterday from the pre-show screening portion of the pageant. And Donald is clearly lining the girls up by looks. Although he did it by having the girls themselves choose fellow contestants for the "pretty line". --He also told them that the exercise was all for FUN, and didn't mean anything. --Now, as for choosing some women to advance in the pageant himself, Trump didn't try to hide that. At least not from the other contestants. (--Whether he ever meant for the public to hear this audio is another story.) --So he decided to give himself the authority to make sure that didn't happen again. He even had a name for the process: THE TRUMP RULE. --When TMZ asked Donald to comment on this, he made no excuses. He said, quote, "That's why Miss Universe and Miss USA get such good ratings . . . and that is why Miss America is off the air."

Just in case you're still wondering about this . . . CATHERINE HARDWICKE . . . the director of the first "Twilight" movie . . . says ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART are dating. --In an interview with "Time" magazine, she says, quote, "After I cast him I told Rob, 'Don't even think about having a romance with her . . . she's under 18. You will be arrested.'" (--Kristen is 19 now . . . Pattinson is 23.) --She added, quote, "In terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn't happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film. --I think it took a long time for Kristen to realize, 'O.K., I've got to give this a go and really try to be with this person.'"

Nicole Forrester . . . the stripper who claims she had an affair with JOSH DUHAMEL . . . is apologizing to FERGIE. She says, quote, "I'm sorry. I thought, 'Nobody's gonna find out. It's not gonna hurt anybody.' --I'm sorry that I didn't think of it like I think of it now." --But she adds, quote, "She's standing by her man, so obviously I'm not wrecking the home too bad, huh?"

Here's how a simple game of cops and robbers can go horribly wrong for you. --A man has been arrested for allegedly trying to blackmail CINDY CRAWFORD and her husband, Rande Gerber. At the center of the alleged plot is a picture of Cindy and Randy's 7-year-old daughter . . . GAGGED AND BOUND TO A CHAIR. --A guy named Edis Kayalar contacted Cindy and Rande this past July, telling them he had the picture. And he claimed he just wanted to help them out. Of course, his version of "helping" was to offer to SELL them the picture, so it wouldn't end up in the tabloids. --He stole the picture from the apartment of Cindy's former nanny . . . whom he had met in a bar. He also lifted Cindy's cell number and a handwritten note that read, quote, "The babysitter went crazy and tied everyone up and they need your help! Please." --The nanny claims the picture was taken during a perfectly innocent game of cops and robbers. Cindy and Rande had no idea it even existed. So far, the nanny is not facing any charges. --Kayalar was deported to Germany back in September . . . but several weeks ago, he allegedly started calling media outlets like TMZ, claiming he still had a copy of the picture, and seeing if anyone was interested in buying it.

REBECCA GAYHEART has confirmed that she and husband ERIC DANE are having a baby. And she's doing all manner of healthy things for the fetus. --She says, quote, "I'm doing yoga, and I'm walking on the beach every day with my dogs for about an hour. I drink lots of water and eat a lot of vegetables and protein." --Oh, and she's doing something else these days . . . SMOKING.

This year's "Country Music Association Awards" . . . which aired Wednesday night on ABC . . . scored their best ratings in four years. According to early estimates, the broadcast averaged just under 17 million viewers.
Just when you thought the Jon Gosselin stories couldn't get more ridiculous. The National Enquirer claims the Jon is being accused of snorting cocaine, and even worse, having a sex tape. Jon's bodyguard Thomas Meinelt has been subpoenaed to testify in the breach of contract lawsuit brought against Jon by TLC, and the tab claims he could possibly talk about the many times he's seen Jon do coke. He also watched the alleged sex tape, which reportedly features Jon having sex with a woman in Los Angeles. Stephanie Santoro, a family nanny who had a fling with Jon, says Tom told her the tape was made in October, and that Jon did not know he was being filmed. "Tom said people close to Jon put a camera in his hotel room, and paid a girl to flirt with Jon and have sex with him," said Stephanie.

It sounds like TOMMY LEE isn't getting any more action from ex-wife PAMELA ANDERSON. Asked if she'd ever take him back again, she said, quote, "No. No way. I have no interest at all."mShe added, quote, "You can't get heartbroken any more over all the disappointments or how he is as a father or anything like that. He doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. I do tell him the truth, but it's been 10 years of suffering over him so I'm over it. --Whatever it is, it is . . . as long as my kids are happy and we're happy and we're safe, let him run around the world. I support him."

Here's the truth about CELINE DION'S pregnancy . . . it never really happened in the first place. --Back in August, Celine and her husband, RENE ANGELIL, announced that Celine was pregnant with their second child via in vitro fertilization. --But now, Rene says the embryo transfers were NOT successful . . . quote, "We believed that the procedure/pregnancy took, but that wasn't the case. We found out some days later. We were shocked." --But he said they're going to keep trying . . . quote, "We are living the reality of the majority of couples who have to use [IVF]. The process can be long and arduous. But today, we are full of confidence. Céline is more determined than ever.
JON VOIGHT may have finally patched things up with his daughter, ANGELINA JOLIE. He tells "Us Weekly", quote, "We're in touch, but not regularly. We love each other and that's the most important thing." --Jon and Angelina have never had a healthy relationship . . . but Angelina cut him off completely in 2002, after he went on "Access Hollywood" and begged her to get help for, quote, "serious mental problems."

The National Enquirer reports that a stressed out Angelina is losing so much weight that she's become shockingly frail. Sources say she's down to barely 100 pounds, which is worrying Brad Pitt. Meanwhile, OK! magazine claims that Angelina is ready to adopt again, regardless of how Brad feels about it. Brad has been quoted as saying that he thinks "six kids is enough," but the mag says Jolie has already started the process to adopt a baby girl from Syria.

MIKE TYSON was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday . . . after he punched out a paparazzi scumbag who was following him. --The incident went down at the United Airlines ticket counter at about 4:30 P.M. We don't know what set Tyson off, but witnesses say he floored the guy with a single punch. --The victim ended up with a cut on his forehead, and was treated at a nearby hospital. There's no word how bad it was. --Tyson was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor battery and released on $20,000 bond. --But Tyson . . . who was traveling with his wife and 10-month-old daughter . . . wants battery charged filed against the photographer. --Tyson's rep says the guy was, quote, "overly aggressive" and Tyson was acting in self-defense to protect his child. --A police spokesman says, quote, "There's a lot of different versions to this story and that's all going to come out later. There were numerous witnesses and that's what this whole case is going to depend on."

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL'S wife Shaunie filed for legal separation on Monday . . . and sources say she plans to file for divorce. --Check this out, though . . . Shaq, Shaunie and their four kids all lived in Florida. But a few days ago, she pulled the kids out of school and took them to Los Angeles with her. --In her petition for separation, Shaunie says she's been an L.A. resident as of November 8th. --Why would she go through the trouble??? Supposedly, it's because community property laws would be more favorable to her in California. But there's a prenup in place, so it's not clear how much the move will help. --Shaunie is asking for spousal and child support . . . but she didn't say how much of either she wants. --Shaq and Shaunie have been married for almost seven years. Their four kids are all between the ages of 3 and 9.
JESSICA SIMPSON apparently has no hard feelings over being dumped by TONY ROMO. She's still a Cowboys fan. --After the Cowboys beat the Eagles 20 to 16 Sunday night, she tweeted, quote, "My pink jersey was nowhere in sight. ;) I was screaming in my parents' TV in Dallas gear, though." --Then she added, quote, "'Tougher Than the Rest' YAY 9." --"9" refers to Romo's uniform number.

Back in August, CELINE DION announced that she was pregnant with her second child. But now, there's word going around that she may have lost the baby. -- "In Touch Weekly" says that Celine is, quote, "not currently expecting." This came, not surprisingly, from an unidentified "source close to the family." They didn't give any other details.
NBA legend KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR is battling a form of cancer called chronic myeloid leukemia. He was actually diagnosed a year ago, but didn't disclose it until yesterday. --Kareem . . . who's 62 . . . said, quote, "Having lost one of my closest friends to a different, highly aggressive form of leukemia, I knew how serious my diagnosis was. My own life expectancy became a question mark." --He added, quote, "When the doctor told me I had cancer, I was scared. My grandfather and my uncle both died from colorectal cancer, my dad almost died from it and I have the gene for it. It's in my family, so I thought this was something else along those lines, but it's not." --Kareem says that with treatment, he's expected to live a full, active life.

Hopefully, this is the last time we'll feel the need to talk about MICHAEL JACKSON'S funeral. --Yesterday, the financial details of the funeral were released . . . and the whole shindig cost over $1 million. --The bill from Forest Lawn Cemetery came to almost $856,000. That included the entombing, which was $590,000. --Michael's casket cost $25,000 . . . the suit he was buried in was $35,000 . . . and $175,000 was spent on security.

MICHAEL LOHAN released another one of his secretly-recorded phone calls yesterday. This one features DINA LOHAN revealing that LINDSAY was dating HEATH LEDGER when he died. --Dina says, quote, "She was dating Heath when he died. I don't know if you know that, but I know 'cause I would drop her off and they were friends. Very, very close, okay?" --Later, she added that she was worried Heath's death would affect Lindsay and that, quote, "when she's drunk, or takes an Adderall with it, she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second, without thinking." --And now . . . here's Dina's response to this latest audio leak . . . quote, "The tapes were from a long time ago, and for a father to stoop this low is unforgivable. --My ex-husband has been in and out of jail for 10 years. My children and I gave him a chance to get to know them again, and he clearly blew that chance! --My heart is breaking for my children that he could do this. He has no visitation anymore and is six months behind in child support. The authorities have been alerted!"

In the December issue of "O" magazine, ELLEN DEGENERES predicts that she and PORTIA DE ROSSI will partners for life. --She says, quote, "She is so beautiful and so smart and so funny. I have that sense of 'I'm done now. I'm settled.' I know that part of my life is taken care of. I've got love. I've got someone who will be with me till the day I die." --Meanwhile, Ellen and Portia were on "Oprah" yesterday . . . and Portia revealed how she found it impossible to resist Ellen's STONE-COLD HOTNESS. --She first fell for Ellen when she was on the show "Ally McBeal". But she couldn't do anything about it for another THREE YEARS, because she was still in the closet. --She said, quote, "Over those three years, we saw each other at parties or various things, but the one time that was the most significant was at a photo shoot. --I just walked over to say hello to her and I couldn't believe it, but she turned around and it was like an arrow was shot through my heart. I was weak at the knees and I was overwhelmed with how I felt. But then it took me about 10 months to get the courage up to do something about it."

It looks like JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and JESSICA BIEL are still together. On Sunday night, they hit a JAY-Z concert at UCLA. A "witness" says, quote, "He literally held her the entire concert. They were dancing together and singing along to every song."

"People"magazine says that JANET JACKSON and JERMAINE DUPRI are still together. In fact, they may not have ever split in the first place. --A "source" says, quote, "They never really broke up. Jermaine wanted to give her some space when Michael died."

ARESENIO HALL is denying that he's dating PAULA ABDUL again. But he did admit that the two are hanging out. He says, quote, "We are friends for life, and we love hanging out and laughing together, but we are not involved romantically."

Even though she's almost 16 years older than her husband, DEMI MOORE does NOT like being called a cougar. She says, quote, "I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl. --I don't know why that is. But I just kind of step back sometimes and say, 'There is some reason, and what is it that I have to share in a positive way?' . . . I'd prefer to be called a Puma."

LEVI JOHNSTON is going to sue for joint custody of his son Tripp . . . (--a.k.a. Sarah Palin's grandson) . . . because he feels the Palin family is making it too difficult for him to see the boy. --He says, quote, "It's not working. I'm done. It's going to have to go to court. They just finally pushed me over the edge." (--Levi, by the way, is in New York City as we speak, gearing up for his big Playgirl shoot.)

It's cool to have a good relationship with your in-laws . . . but you can take it a little too far. --KHLOE KARDASHIAN and her new husband, LAMAR ODOM, were on "Chelsea Lately" on Friday night. And Chelsea asked Lamar what he thinks of his new mother-in-law, KRIS JENNER. --He said, quote, "She's hot." And Khloe added, quote, "He wants to bone her." (--To which Chelsea quite HI-lariously replied, quote, "Listen, with this family, you don't know what's coming around the corner.") --Elsewhere in the interview, Lamar said he wants to start spawning right away . . . to which Khloe replied, quote, "Okay."


Forget about Brad and Angelina . . . Robert and Kristen . . . Jon & Kate. America's TRUE power couple may be back together. --Obviously, I'm talking about PAULA ABDUL and ARSENIO HALL. --Paula and Arsenio dated 20 years ago . . . after meeting on the set of EDDIE MURPHY'S 1988 comedy, "Coming To America". --A "source" says, quote, "Arsenio reached out to Paula because he thought she needed a friend to talk to, someone she could relate to. Arsenio knows what it's like to leave a hit TV show. --One phone call led to another, and the next thing you know, they were making a date. This could be the perfect situation for the two of them. Paula and Arsenio know each other inside and out."

This one's a little hard to believe . . . and it comes from Britain's "Sun" tabloid . . . so be cautious in your belief. --MADONNA is reportedly 15 years older than the MOTHER of the guy she's nailing. --Madonna's boyfriend, JESUS LUZ, is 23. And the "Sun" claims that his mother, Cristiane Regina da Silva, is only 36. Madonna is 51. --If Math wasn't your strongest subject, this means that Jesus was born to a 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL. Still, as far as we can tell, she and Jesus' dad are married and still together.

TMZ says that when the Miss California USA people played CARRIE PREJEAN'S solo sex video for her, Carrie's MOTHER was in the room. A source says she was, quote, "in shock . . . instantly turning white as a sheet" when she saw it. (--The pageant allegedly used the tape to get Carrie to drop her $1 million lawsuit against them.)

RIHANNA'S interview with DIANE SAWYER concluded Friday on "Good Morning America" and "20/20". And Rihanna spoke candidly about being assaulted by CHRIS BROWN last February. --She said, quote, "[I kept thinking] when is it going to stop? When is it going to stop? He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him." --Rihanna said it was a text message Chris received from another woman that sparked the fight . . . quote, "I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn't tell the truth. And I wouldn't drop it. --I couldn't take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn't take that I wouldn't drop it . . . It escalated into him being violent towards me. And it was ugly. --I was battered, I was bleeding, I was swollen in my face. My next option was to get out of the car and walk, start walking in a gown and a bloody face. I didn't have a plan. That whole night was not part of my plan." --Rihanna believes that Chris may have been a victim of his own celebrity . . . quote, "Fame came to Chris very young . . . You're a kid and the word 'no' doesn't exist? You become invincible. There's no right or wrong, you just do, as you want to." --Through it all, though, Rihanna said she still loves Chris . . . quote, "I don't hate him at all. I actually love and care about him. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up. And just take this as something you had to go through to grow up and learn." --Rihanna admitted that she'd never heard "Changed Man" . . . the apology song Chris wrote for her. She also never saw the video apology Chris posted on YouTube. --When Diane Sawyer showed it to her, Rihanna said it sounded like he was reading off a Teleprompter. --Asked what she WANTS to hear from Chris, Rihanna's answer was . . . NOTHING. --She added, quote, "What I want, is for him to accept this as a man would and accept the responsibility, and not find a way to feel sorry for himself."

As expected, TAYLOR SWIFT did poke fun at the infamous KANYE WEST incident during her hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend. But Kanye wasn't the only one she called out. --Taylor's opening monologue was a SONG, called "Monologue Song (La La La)". And in it, she talked about all the things she WASN'T going to mention in her opening monologue . . . like Kanye. --She sang, quote, "You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye . . . and how he ran up on the stage and ruined my 'VMA' monologue. --But there's nothing more to say, 'cause everything's OK, I have security lining this stage . . . it's my 'SNL' monologue." --She also took a shot at ex-boyfriend JOE JONAS . . . quote, "You might think I'd bring up Joe / that guy who broke up with me on the phone / but I'm not going to mention him, in my monologue. Hey Joe! I'm doing real well, tonight I'm hosting 'SNL'." --The song also included a reference to her rumored boyfriend, "Twilight" star TAYLOR LAUTNER. She sang, quote, "If you're wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from 'Twilight'" . . . and then she stopped singing, mouthed "Hi, Taylor" and blew a kiss. --Taylor was actually pretty funny throughout the show. She spoofed KATE GOSSELIN in a parody of "The View" . . . and she did a KRISTEN STEWART impression in a "Digital Short" that mocks "Twilight".
