Are these two still talking about poor Brittany Murphy? Guess so.

Simon Monjack and Brittany's mother, Sharon Murphy, appeared on the Today show this morning to talk to Matt Lauer about clearing up the rumors surrounding the late actress' death...

Simon says: "Brittany was not taking any medication for her mood, for anorexia, or any mental illness. It's utterly ridiculous that these rumors have perpetuated."

And what about the possibility of an eating disorder? Monjack said his wife would "order four plates of food and eat them all" at the Chateau Marmont. Hmm...

Sidebar, is it just us or do these two look a little out if it during the interview? Just saying!

How adorbs is this!

TV cutie Neil Patrick Harris posted this pic on his Twitter page of country music singer Carrie Underwood on the set of How I Met Your Mother...

Carrie will play a pharmaceutical rep but, now that we see the picture, she looks more like a bubbly flight attendant!

Either way, can't wait to see her acting skillz!

The Pitkin County court has vacated Charlie Sheen's and Brooke Mueller's court date set for tomorrow in Aspen regarding the little matter of domestic violence stemming from their Christmas day dispute at their rented home in the chic ski village.

District Court Judge James Boyd said Mueller demonstrated good cause for rescheduling the hearing with her hospitalization for pneumonia yesterday.
This is the second delay in this hearing.

The judge also agreed to hear Mueller's motion to dismiss the protective order against Sheen at the new appearance date of February 8 at 2:15 pm.

Question is ... what will happen between these two over the next two weeks before the hearing. We hope Brooke will return to good health but then, will she and Charlie kiss and make up? Seems like they've already started down that path with Charlie visiting her in the hospital yesterday. Sounds like Brooke may end up dropping the whole thing and just sticking with her hubby!

After months of tabloid rumors, former Presidential candidate John Edwards has finally admitted to fathering ex-mistress Rielle Hunter's daughter Frances Quinn.

Edwards released the following statement to NBC's The Today Show this morning:

“I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace. It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me. I have been providing financial support for Quinn and have reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future. To all those I have disappointed and hurt, these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry.”

Edwards and his wife Elizabeth have separated, and the network also reports that he signed a child support agreement and bought a home for Rielle and Frances in Charlotte, North Carolina, less than two hours from his home. Better late than never, but what took him so long?

WTF! This video is criz-azy.

A woman in Milan from an Italian, er, "comedy" show was filming an arguably hilarious segment about David Beckham - it seems she wanted to see if the sports star measured up to his Armani underwear ads!

So she interrupted an interview he was giving to a reporter on the street and, while wearing a pair of gloves, grabs his crotch!

Becks was obvs pissed off, and so security swooped in and David fled the scene. The woman herself was not arrested... and the footage was shown on her show!

Not cool! Poor Becks.

Lucky ladies!

Robert Pattinson begins shooting his new movie, Bel Ami next month, and Life & Style have gotten their hands on the screenplay, and they report that not only does Rob get hot and heavy with co-star Christina Ricci, but he gets it on with Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas as well!

Rob, who plays the role of the womanizing journalist Georges Duroy, has a naughty romp with Christina's character of Clotilde, a sexy encounter with Uma's Madeline while sitting at a desk, and another sexcapade with Kristin's Virginie on the floor!

I'm guessing none of the actresses had any complaints...

Rihanna appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday, and the R&B superstar chatted with Lady O about her performance on tomorrow's Hope For Haiti Now telethon.

Rihanna then belted out her rendition of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," which is available on iTunes, with proceeds going towards the telethon.

The telethon will air at 8pm on Friday, January 22nd, and networks showing the special include ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, BET, the CW, HBO, MTV, VH1 and CMT.

So much for resting in peace!

Casey Johnson's ex-girlfriend (and mortal enemy of Tila Tequila) Courtenay Semel is speaking out to E! News about an explicit video that the two former lovers planned on releasing to earn a few extra bucks. Courtenay tells E!, "[Casey and I] had our own sex tape. It was either listen to our families and do what they say to get our lives back, or do it ourselves and sell this tape, work on our show. That was kind of our plan."

Courtenay says they devised the plan after Casey was cut off financially from her family, and she recalls telling the heiress, "We can get the money. We've already filmed it - why don't we just put it out there and we'll just take the money for it. We don't need our parents."

Courtenay also claims they were planning on releasing the raunchy flick as a teaser for their reality show, which was in development at the time. She added, "We laughed when we watched our sex tape because we were like, 'This is the most beautiful piece of art work we have ever seen in our lives.' It's beautiful ... When you find that person that's literally your other half. We don't care to show this. You could just tell how much, how in love, we were."

"Our show could've gone after that," she adds. "Casey and Courtenay were going to make Casey and Courtenay happen." The film was shot during a trip to Texas, but it seems pretty doubtful that it will ever see the light of day as Courtenay says it's currently in the Johnson family's possession.
