Although reports claim Lindsay Lohan is close to signing on as Victoria in the upcoming movie Gotti: Three Generations, executive producer Marc Fiore says "99% of the casting rumors are false."

Fiore tells X17online exclusively:

"I will be announcing the cast of our Gotti film on April 12. You'll see that many of the names supposedly connected to the film are not involved. I also want to clear up that Victoria Gotti is not a producer on the film, and for that reason, she has no say on the production or who is getting cast in various roles."

As for the film itself, Fiore wouldn't confirm whether Travolta will be playing John Gotti, however the superstar will be present for the big casting announcement next week. Fiore adds:

"We have the story of the modern day Godfather. This is the first story ever told by the Gotti family themselves. We bought the rights from the family to tell their story. This will be a true and accurate account. Let me tell you, there are some bone-chilling stories to tell."

As for Lindsay, turns out her connection with the Gotti family goes way back to 1989. A family source tells X17online exclusively:

"Michael and Dina took Lindsay and son Michael Jr. to the San Gennaro festival in 1989 and they ended up sitting at the Gotti's booth. Ever since then the families have been tight."

In case you aren't familiar with the San Gennaro Festival, it's an annual Feast that brings more than one million people to the streets of Little Italy, NYC in the annual salute to the Patron Saint of Naples.

Naomi Judd and her daughter Wynonna are opening up about sexual abuse they both suffered as children.

While on The View, Naomi, 65, recalls the abuser. She tells the ladies:

"I rebuffed him, and it happened twice more. I knocked him away. I never said anything to anybody."

The Judds will be debuting their new series on The Oprah Winfrey Network this Sunday. When asked how they handled the topic on the show, Wynona, who also admits to being abused, says:

"I was a little resentful that the cameras were on. But we're willing to step out on faith and hope that it helps someone else to tell someone because there is a lot of shame and secrecy."

In her book, "All That Is Bitter and Sweet," younger sister Ashley Judd discussed being sexually abused as a young girl.

Find out the name of Wynona's upcoming book in which she goes into detail about her abusive past ... after the jump.

On April 29 when William, Prince of Wales, walks down the aisle with his bride Kate Middleton, the new couple may emerge with new titles ...

Kate wouldn't be able to take on the title of HRH Princess Catherine of Wales according to tradition, because she isn't a princess in her own right. In recent years, however, the crown has broken from tradition and allowed similar titles -- but only if the Queen approves. OR, Kate could become HRH Princess William of Wales.

When Camilla Parker Bowles married Prince Charles Wales in 2005, she became the Duchess of Cornwall rather than the Princess of Wales -- she chose not to use that name because of its associate with Diana.

Even Prince William's title is up in the air. He could choose to take on a title related to Scotland, where he met Kate at St. Andrews University in Fife; or, when all is said and done, Prince William could choose to remain HRH Prince William of Wales

Geez, let's keep it simple, people! Can't we just call them Prince William and Princess Kate?

Oh, how we love Ms. Minaj! As for her career aspirations while growing up, she adds:
