Holy smokes!

Ryan Gosling has been filming The Gangster Squad in Los Angeles alongside Josh Brolin and Giovanni Ribisi, and he proved that he can look smokin' hot even covered up.

While on break from Wednesday, the Drive star managed to get some very 2011 snacks in -- an iced coffee and a cracker snack pack! Yummy!

The flick about cops trying to keep the East Coast mafia out of L.A. is based in the '40s and '50s, and Ryan looked every bit the part of a serious sargeant. Can't wait to see this one!

We have to admit, we didn't know she had these pipes either!

Nicole Scherzinger might be known as the sexy frontwoman for pop group The Pussycat Dolls, but she taught Simon Cowell a thing or two about her real X Factor on The X Factor Wednesday night!

After a 20-year-old woman gave an oversexed audition, Cowell said he felt like Scherzinger would have done the same when she was younger.

The songstress then put him in his place with a rousing rendition of Whitney Houston's diva-tastic "I Will Always Love You"! Watch above!

CBS

Ashton Kutcher is under fire from CBS after promoting social media companies Foursquare, Flipboard, Hipmunk, GroupMe and Chegg on Monday night's episode of Two And A Half Men.

The actor/social media maven holds investment stakes in all five companies. On Monday, he put stickers for the brands on character Walden Schmidt's laptop, and CBS is upset because the network received no compensation for the product placement.

"This was not part of any advertising transaction with CBS," a network rep said. "Our policy is to disclose such financial interests in a credit at the end of the broadcast."

But, The Hollywood Reporter says, the network has decided not to take any action against Kutcher -- though it will blur the stickers from future episodes.

This marks more bad news for Ashton, who is in the middle of a tabloid tornado this week as rumors are swirling that he's been cheating on wife Demi Moore.

Bravo

The Real Housewives of New York City is down four cast members, and now its Hudson River neighbor is having problems, too.

While Bravo fired Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Cindy Barshop and Kelly Bensimon from New York, New Jersey cast members are jumping ship on their own.

Jacqueline Laurita (above, left) is Tweeting this week that she's done with the show.

After attending Jersey's annual fashion show for the boutique Posche, an event that brought drama in the past, Laurita Tweeted, "Someone (not me) got set up tonight. There are some sneaky people trying to make someone look bad & then play innocent on camera. Sad."

Cameras were rolling to film season four (season three is currently airing.)

Laurita also Tweeted that she does not plan to attend the season three reunion taping:

"No reunion for me. ... I'm tired of the BS & ... low life people.I didn't know this was what I signed up 4. ... I can't be part of the Charade anymore. ... I'm a REAL housewife. ... There is no real love there. ... I'd like to only focus on positive things now please.I threw the trash out.I'm cleaning now and reorganizing.Starting fresh and new."

Teresa Giuidice also sent out some revealing Tweets on Thursday -- keep reading (she was supposedly slapped by Laurita) ...

Michael Jackson's security guard Alberto Alvarez took the stand on Day Three of Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial to relay his account of the day MJ died.

Alvarez (right) says Murray had him remove Propofol from Michael Jackson's bedroom before calling 911 on the day of Jackson's death. His account:

• Alvarez entered Jackson's room after getting a call from MJ's assistant, Michael Amir Williams. He saw Murray giving Jackson chest compressions as Jackson lay on the bed.



• Murray said, "We have to get him to the hospital." Alvarez saw Paris crying and screaming "Daddy!" He moved the children out.



• Murray told him Jackson had "a bad reaction." Alvarez noticed a catheter attached to Jackson's penis.



• Murray gave Alvarez a "handful" of vials and told him to "put these in a bag."



• Murray told him to take the saline bag from the IV stand and put it in the bag as well. Alvarez says he thought they were packing the items for the hospital.



• There were two saline bags on the IV stand. Murray asked Alvarez for one that had a vial in it as well as a "milky white substance" at the bottom of the bag.



• Alvarez was then shown a picture of a saline bag and a Propofol vial in court -- he said this looked the same as what he saw.

On Day Two, Jackson's assistant, Michael Amir Williams, testified that at the hospital, Murray told him he needed a ride to Jackson's house to remove "cream" from the home. Williams refused.

With allegations surfacing that Ashton Kutcher had an affair with 23-year-old blonde Sara Leal, the Two and A Half Men actor Tweeted a link to the Public Enemy song "Don't Believe the Hype."

In unusual fashion, Demi Moore's 33-year-old husband has posted very few Tweets in the past couple days. However, his wife posted the following quote on Twitter, which fueled the speculation of an affair: "When we are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself & study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger."

Various online reports claim Leal hooked up with the Two and A Half Men star on the 12th floor of San Diego's Hard Rock Hotel.

Leal is reportedly demanding $250,000 to keep the story under wraps, according to TheDirty.com.

A source tells the site that Ashton told Leal that he and Demi "are separated and the public doesn’t know yet."

Kim Kardashian is a self-proclaimed "tranny"!

The reality starlet recently told xoJane.com that she knows she and her sisters are a little heavy on the makeup!

Kim told the site the story of how her late father, Robert Kardashian, hired a professional makeup artists to give her, Kim and Khloe lessons on makeup when they were teens.

"He said, 'My daughters are going to start to wear makeup and I want you guys to look at least presentable,'" she says. "And we've turned out to be the biggest trannies because of it."

While Hollywood is known as a pretty superficial, looks-based place, even H-town thought the girls could pull back on the mascara! Kim continues:

"We had publicists and people who would tell us, 'Girls, tone it down. Stop wearing all the makeup.' But then ... We were like, 'We love makeup, so why try and be what we are not?' ... We joke and say we are like trannies because we love hair and makeup."

We admire the self-awareness, ladies!

LeAnn Rimes put a fashionable foot forward while hitting up Nobu in Malibu for a celebratory dinner with friends in honor of her new album Lady & Gentlemen. Love the sleek gray pants!

Michael Rozman/Warner Bros.

Before heading to dinner in the 'Bu, the 29-year-old singer visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show. During her interview, the country cutie opened up about everything, from her public image to life with sexy hubby Eddie Cibrian.

When asked about her relationship with Eddie, LeAnn told Ellen:

"It could've been handled a lot better, but maybe we both didn't have the tools at the time to do it properly. But I've learned a lot ... Sometimes you just want to scream. But you don't. We've learned to let it go and laugh at it at the end of the day."
