Um, WHAT?!
Zac Efron and his bodyguard got into an altercation with a group of homeless people around midnight on Sunday near the Skid Row area of Los Angeles, according to
TMZ.
Zac told authorities that he and his bodyguard had run out of gas and were sitting in their car, and while waiting on a tow truck they threw a bottle out of the window. It's not clear what was in the bottle, but when it broke on the pavement near a group of transients, chaos broke out. Zac said the transients confronted him and his bodyguard, and two of the individuals then attacked the bodyguard. When Zac got out of the car to help, he got socked in the mouth and told cops, "It was the hardest I've ever been hit in my life."
Cops were on patrol under the Harbor Freeway when they saw the fight, but no one was arrested because they viewed it as "mutual combat." One source tells the website that Zac was "obviously intoxicated." Seeing as he was in rehab twice last year for cocaine abuse, this isn't exactly a good thing! Skid Row is a notoriously bad neighborhood and police are frequently on high alert there for drug deals and gangs ... it's certainly no place for the former
High School Musical hottie!

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday evening after spending the last week in Barbados, and despite being greeted by gusty winds and a sea of photographers, the duo were in a great mood. Guess there aren't any Gwyneth and Chris-style problems with these two!
The couple were in the Caribbean celebrating Jessica's 32nd bday, and while it was a
little bit belated (her actual bday was on March 3), JT went all out for his wife of 17 months. They reportedly stayed at a luxury villa near the Sandy Lane resort, and last week the singer chartered the $1,125-per-day catamaran Seaduced for a day of wakeboarding and swimming.
So what about starting a family? When asked about baby names, Justin turned the tables on the photographer, asking
his name as a possible option. Ha!

Way to heat things up at the pump!
On Wednesday afternoon Hilary Duff gave us a peek at her toned abs as she gassed up her Porsche in Los Angeles, and later the former Disney darling grabbed a bag of takeout from Monsieur Marcel. Yum!
The previous evening the Duffster hit the studio, and she posted a picture of throat drops and wrote, "Discovering vocal zone throat pastilles has changed the game for recording with a sore throat." While we're glad her pipes are OK, we're more curious about the song lyrics in the picture! We're supposed to get our first listen at her new material this spring, and this is the first music she's released in 7 years, so we're dying to know what her new tunes sound like!

Bethenny Frankel and her daughter Bryn stepped out in New York City on Wednesday, and while the ladies were in good spirits, the former
Real Housewives star sounds like she's ready to slow things down, both personally and professionally.
On Tuesday night Frankel appeared on
Watch What Happens Live, and when host Andy Cohen asked whether she was formally divorced from estranged hubby Jason Hoppy, Frankel replied, "Honestly, it's been a year, 15 months of this. I don't want to talk about it cause it's not best for Bryn. Honestly, I really don't." Frankel filed for divorce from Hoppy last January, and they were embroiled in a pretty bitter custody battle following the split.
"I am dating and I'm happy," Frankel said, but she wouldn't really elaborate. "I'm good. I finally feel a little bit of liberation and a little bit of freedom, just a little bit of not, just feeling so bad. It's been a really, really hard time."
So what about her talk show, which wasn't renewed for another season? Though new episodes will continue to air through May, Frankel actually sounds relieved that it didn't get picked up again, telling Cohen, "I loved every day, I loved connecting to women. It's just been an amazing experience. I have my own Skinnygirl business, I have the cocktails and a lot of different products that are launching this year. I really do need a break."

Kim Zolciak gave birth to twins Kaia and Kane in November, and just four months later the
Real Housewives star has lost nearly all the baby weight!
On Tuesday Zolciak posted the selfie above and wrote, "
I think I see an ab!!!! hey after 6 kids I'll take it!!"
Of course, she posted her
first post-baby selfie just nine days after giving birth, and Kim's oldest daughter Brielle claimed that the reality star had already dropped down to a size 4 at the time. Is she human?!
We're pretty impressed -- we're not sure what her secret is, but she looks amazing!

Lock up your sons, lock up your husbands!
Taylor Swift threw on a navy blazer and fedora to head to the recording studio in Manhattan today, and if we were one of her past suitors, we'd be shaking in our boots! Everyone knows T-Swizzle loves to pen anti-boy breakup anthems!
The "Trouble" singer hasn't been seen out publicly with any new dudes lately, and if you believe the recent rumors, that's intentional on her team's part!
"Taylor's advisers are tired of setting her up on dates only to have her strange personality scare men away," a source dished to
Radar.
"Taylor is almost impossible to find dates for because of the nature of her music, which focuses heavily on heartbreak and ex-boyfriends. None of the guys she shows interest in want to be the subject of a mean song six months town the road or be painted the bad guy, so Taylor's team want her to take a break from boys," the source added.
What's she going to write about when she actually finds herself in a healthy relationship?!

Selena in 2013, pre-rehab
Though she was reportedly in rehab earlier this year for issues
other than substance abuse, several media outlets stuck with their stories that Selena Gomez was in fact seeking treatment for alcohol and drugs. Apparently after her split from Justin Bieber, Gomez took things pretty hard, and there were claims that he was the one who introduced her to some of her alleged bad habits. Anyway, whatever you choose to believe, it sounds like the pop star's latest behavior has friends and family members concerned.
After a fight with her mom and stepdad (presumably over her recent reunion with Biebs), Selena checked in to the Sunset Tower Hotel for a week earlier this month. A source tells
Touch Weekly that the former Disney star was "
seen with a drink in her hand almost daily," and added, “She looked like she’d been at it for a while. Her lips were stained from the red wine she was drinking.”
Selena was also spotted at the hotel's Tower Bar and Restaurant with pals on St. Patrick’s Day, and a source tells the mag, “They didn’t order food. They just kept ordering rounds of drinks and going out to smoke cigarettes.
They definitely seemed drunk.”
“
Her family is begging her to get back into rehab, and to stop talking to Justin,” the snitch added. Even if she wasn't going to rehab for booze, it certainly sounds like she's imbibing quite a bit now!

Kris Jenner jetted out of Los Angeles on a private plane yesterday, and a source tells X17online exclusively that the reality TV matriarch was sneaking her son Rob out of town and checking him into a fat camp!
It's no secret that Rob has packed on the pounds over the last year, and apparently Kris has had it with her son's battle with the bulge. A source told
Star Magazine, "[Kris] told [Rob] that if he wants to continue to be an active part of their family, he's going to attend a camp and lose the weight once and for all."
Rob has reportedly tipped the scales at 260 pounds, so losing 70 in the next two months seems like a bit of a stretch. But if he finds a solid diet and fitness plan, he can at least get back on track, right? Maybe ... but it sounds like surgery was also something that was being considered! After all, he
is a Kardashian, so it's not like he should be scared of going under the knife...
"Rob hates gyms," a source told the
National Enquirer. "But he's under strict orders from Kris to lose 70 lbs before [the wedding] ... Rob figured that getting his stomach stapled is the only way to meet Kris' deadline."
Whether it's surgery, fat camp or therapy, we hope Rob gets back to a healthier place!
