During a
tearful interview on
The Insider, Hailey Glassman revealed that she had been emotionally abused by her (now) ex-boyfriend Jon Gosselin, but new reports say that the entire thing was made up by Jon to get the couple the cash they so desperately need right now!
A source told
Fox 411, "Jon actually made the decision to have Hailey go on air and bad mouth him. Jon and Hailey get paid for their appearances on these shows and they need the money." The source continues, "It was easy for Hailey to conjure tears, their lives are less than stellar right now, but Jon hasn't abused [her]."
Apparently Jon's so desperate for cash that he's willing to do just about anything right now -- even the Octomom reality show!
"His whole team heard of the project and was involved in brokering the possible deal," the source revealed of the "
Jon - Kate = Jon + Octomom" idea (which he previously denied ever being involved with.) The Gosselin insider continued, "His managers, lawyers and publicists need to get something rolling for him or he won't be able to pay them. Jon doesn't have a big bank account loaded with money. He has to do something and this would have been funny, plus Hailey had no problem going along with the fake dates and pretending to be upset. She is along for the ride and enjoys being on TV."
So if Jon and Hailey lied about this, are they lying about
breaking up as well?
Can someone say "Balloon Boy"?

Or maybe she did... scary! Either way, Hugh still looks fab. Their daughter, on the other hand, looks a little peeved. But then again, she always does!

In the latest issue of
BlackBook Magazine, Kristen Stewart reveals that she'd rather not be famous, and she even makes a reference to one of the biggest actresses on the planet! Wait, didn't Winona Ryder just do the
same exact thing in the exact same mag?
Kristen says, "I don’t want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie. Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable. I’m an actor. It’s bizarre to me that everybody’s so obsessive.†We get that she's a shy starlet, but why not embrace the film franchise and the industry that's set her up for life? After all, this is also how she met her dream vamp!
Kristen continues, "Edward is actually a really good parallel to fame. As a vampire, he has a sad, desolate life - fame is the same." Aw, cheer up K. Stew! We (along with millions of other Twilovers) absolutely adore you, so it can't be that bad, right?

First of all, let me just say that I looooove Winona Ryder, theft and all! She was such a unique actress back in the day and it sucks she's gotten such a bad rep recently.
Anyway! The 38-year-old is on the December 2009
cover of BlackBook looking dark yet lovely, and of course she talks about her troubled past - she suffered from "exhaustion" long before LiLo did! - her relationships with Johnny Depp and Matt Damon, as well as her
Girl, Interrupted co-star Angelina Jolie...
"I never had any bad feelings about Angelina. And I was hurt that people thought that. Everyone assumed I was really jealous because I thought this would be my vehicle. We said from the very beginning that the actress who played Lisa would probably win an Oscar, because it was the big, great, showy part."
Winona was also asked if Angie thanked her for jump-starting her career, to which Ryder replied: "
I feel like it won’t read in print very nicely if I say that wasn’t really her style, but she seems to be a completely different person now.â€Â
Loves that quote! Honest without being bitchy. Team Winona!

This girl's really got the goodies!
Not only is Ciara a total hottie, but she drives a super sexy sports car too. And like
certain other starlets, she knows how to match her car to her outfit. But the Ivy? C'mon girl ... we know you're not going there just for the food!
