Christina Aguilera opened up to E! in a new doc about the abuse her family suffered at the hands of her father when she was a child.

"I witnessed a lot of unpleasant things - a lot of pushing and shoving and fighting and quarreling," Christina told the net. "Growing up I did not feel safe. Feeling powerless is the worst feeling in the world. I turned to singing as an outlet. The pain at home is where my love for music came from."

Christina's talked vaguely about her abuse in the past, but her mother detailed a horrific incident that resulted in Christina's chin being bloodied, which eventually led the family to flee from Aguilera's father, Fausto.

"I scooped her up and said, 'Oh my God. What's wrong?'" Christina's mom Shelley told E!. "She told me, 'Daddy wanted to take a nap and I made too much noise.'"

Christina tried to reconcile with her father as an adult, but found his presence wasn't "necessary in my life."

When we spotted adorable Sophie Monk having lunch with a mystery man Sunday in LA, we had no idea that mystery man was Dr. 90210's John Diaz!

Now, Sophie's no stranger to augmentation, but as beautiful as she's been looking lately, we hope the date with the plastic surgeon was strictly pleasure!

Just after the announcement that Khloe Kardashian will walk down the aisle with boyfriend, now fiance, Lamar Odom of the Lakers, KK did what any good bride would do, and headed to Williams-Sonoma to set up her wedding registry!

Khloe and her mom Kris headed to the Beverly Hills kitchen and home furnishings outpost yesterday afternoon and spent a couple hours compiling a list of bake pans, serving dishes (like a nice set of bowls that X17online is sending to the happy couple!), and even a margarita maker!



Congrats to the happy couple -- looks like this is really happening!

David Strick’s Hollywood Backlot has posted some brand new shots from the set of New Moon, and even though shooting wrapped months ago, these previously unseen pics have us hungry for more!

And how could we forget about this hunky werewolf? Yum!

Ellen has hit out at critics who claim she isn't qualified to fill pop-star Paula's shoes as the new judge on American Idol.

"I know there is a lot of chatter," Ellen said during a taping of her show. "I thought America had moved past this. First, we have the first African American President. We've sworn in our first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. I think American Idol is ready for their first blonde judge."

Ellen went on to say, "I'll tell you right now, how I know I'm going to be a great judge. I've spent my whole life being judged. So I know what it's like." She quipped. "So I will be kind. I will be compassionate. I will be empathetic, and I will be truthful. I will be an honest judge without being mean."

Sounds like she's just the antidote to Simon that Idol needs!

Neither Eric Dane nor his "naked tape" partner, wife Rebecca Gayheart, would confirm the pregnancy rumors when we caught them out and about in LA yesterday, but Dane's response when we brought up the possibility of a little McSteamy was very telling!

We asked Eric about the rumors Rebecca's expecting, and he responded, "Who told you that?" Not exactly a denial. But then Dane went on to say, "If I were to be a dad, I'd be happy about it!"

Eric and Rebecca have made no secret about their wish to expand their family - and Rebecca's been careful to wear hiding her belly in recent weeks.

After all the negative publicity the couple got after the Kari Ann Peniche scandal, we have no doubt they'd welcome a little good news in their life right about now!

I guess her sexy boyfriend isn't always available for back rubs, so sometimes she has to look elsewhere to get a little massage action! Yesterday we caught Halle Berry leaving a massage place in Hollywood, and a few hours later we snapped the actress and some girlfriends rolling up to Boa in a silver Range Rover. Sounds like a good time to us!

Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes hasn't even hit theaters yet, and there's already talk of a sequel...starring Brad Pitt!

Pitt has had discussions with producers to star as Sherlock's arch nemesis Moriarty in the new motion picture, according to the Risky Biz blog.

Though nothing is official for Pitt, most of the talent (along with Ritchie as the director) are expected to return for the sequel, and Ritchie has worked with Pitt before, so we really hope something comes of this! I mean, Pitt vs. Downey Jr.? Sign us up!
