Jennifer Aniston, in an exclusive interview today with PEOPLE, denied published reports that she and Vince Vaughn are engaged, calling the stories “insane” and saying that “people are getting fed a lot of bull.”

“I’m not engaged and I don’t have a ring and I haven’t been proposed to,” Aniston said in a telephone conversation she initiated to debunk the engagement rumors. “Normally we don’t even acknowledge these things because they’re endless, at this point, the thing that got me was that I was getting phone calls from Greece! My Aunt Mary in Greece is getting accused of lying! I mean, they’re getting angry.

“My dad calls and he says, ‘Honey, it’s on the CNN crawl,’ and I’m going, ‘Wait a second!’ When it starts to travel over into the Today show and CNN and supposedly reliable and accurate news programs, then you just go, ‘This is insane.’ People are getting fed a lot of bull.”

See, she hasn’t even been proposed to. I wonder why? Is Vince holding out for something better?

Probably.

So this Mel Gibson shitstorm keeps getting bigger and bigger and a lot of people are starting to wonder if his appologies are sincere:

Mel Gibson’s Tuesday apology for an anti-Semitic rant after his drunken driving arrest came several days too late, celebrity crisis management experts say.

It was the star’s first acknowledgment that he spewed anti-Jewish slurs at Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff James Mee early Friday — a tirade that could threaten his career and the December release of his film “Apocalypto,” in which he and Disney invested tens of millions of dollars. […]

The cloud of anti-Semitism has followed Gibson since the 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ,” which many Jews felt unfairly portrayed Jews’ role in the death of Jesus. The issue intensified after interviews with Gibson’s father, who called the Holocaust mostly “fiction.”

Levick said that while the film became a blockbuster despite the controversy — or because of it — this is Gibson’s last chance to prove he isn’t a bigot.

All I gotta say is this: “A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts.” Yes, that’s a famous proverb.

Ashlee Simpson appeared on the July cover of Marie Claire magazine extolling the virtues of appreciating one’s body as it is — then she had a nose job.

Marie Claire readers erupted in fury at what they said was Ms. Simpson’s hypocrisy and the magazine’s “cluelessness.” They wrote 1,000 letters in protest to the magazine, according to Joanna Coles, the new editor of the magazine. And she agreed with them.
In the first issue (due Aug. 15) over which she exercises full editorial control, Ms. Coles gives expanded space in the letters column to readers to vent against Ms. Simpson. Ms. Coles adds in a note: “We’re dazed and confused — and disappointed — by her choice, too!”

Rare is the day when the editor of a women’s magazine will openly criticize a celebrity. But Ms. Coles is planting a flag: A new Marie Claire is in town and it is making a clean break with its past. No girly goo, no teeny-bopper covers, no blind obedience to the traditional rules of the road.

Umm, so this begs the question: What would Joe do?

I guess it is true what they say, life really does imitate art or in Luke Wilson’s case a shitty chick flick:

LUKE Wilson admits he’s a real horror show when it comes to breaking up with girls. “Even if I want out, I don’t have the guts to just leave,” the star of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend,” who has dated Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, told Howard Stern on Sirius Satellite Radio. “I just start acting really surly and cranky until they leave me. I don’t think anything’s over the line when you want out. You see the fence, and you just start running for it.” Asked how long he has to act like a heel before a paramour flees in disgust, Wilson says, “I’d say you need 90 days. It’s almost like double time, though, because three months feels like six months because you’re so horrible to be with.”

Why not take a shortcut and start banging other chicks. I bet the soon-to-be-ex will get the hint in notime…

“The Tonight Show” had an unscripted moment Thursday when a woman from the audience walked up to Colin Farrell as he was talking to host Jay Leno. The 30-year-old actor quickly escorted her off stage and asked for security.

“She said something to Colin Farrell that no one heard, then he took her by the elbow, led her off stage, asked the cameramen to turn off their cameras and asked for security,” said Molly Mattaini, who was visiting from St. Paul, Minn. […]

Mattaini, 16, said Farrell returned to the stage and apologized to the audience.

“He sat back down and said, ‘My first stalker,’ and Jay Leno said, ‘Welcome to celebrity,’” Mattaini said.

Creepy shit.

So a lot has been written about Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro’s recent split and Dave’s new girlfriend, which is cool I guess, but, according to Dave, not true:

1. Do you have a girlfriend?

No. I have been living at home, touring, making and promoting a record or shooting Rockstar for the past several months. There is absolutely no way I could be living with someone in New York.

2. What does amicably separated mean?

It means that Carmen and I love each other, we are and always will be best friends. In fact, we are supporting each other through this time. What better way to get through a tough spot than with your best friend?

I don’t know, lots of ice cream and rum maybe? Wait. I think that was a rhetorical question.

“I was in love with her from the start,” [Justin] Timberlake, 25, says in the August issue of GQ. […]

“When we initially parted ways [in 2002], I felt like she had a couple of opportunities to just sort of stick up for me, and she didn’t,” says Timberlake about [Britney] Spears, 24, publicly blaming him for the split. His answer? “I fought back…I came up with a song.” That would be “Cry Me a River,” which called out Spears’ rumored infidelity with his pal Wade Robson (she denied it). […]

Though he says he wishes Spears well, Timberlake calls his first love “so high school,” and refers to his “adult” relationship with Cameron Diaz, 33 (they’ve been together since 2003). “Justin moved on…a long time ago,” says Harless [Justin’s mom].

And so did everybody else it seems. Shitney’s so last century.

Who would have thought, Paul McCartney and Heather Mills are getting ready to fling some serious shit against the proverbial fan:

Recently a British tabloid claimed that 1) there’s a tape of an incendiary phone conversation between the ex-Beatle and his daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney; 2) the recording had fallen into Heather’s hands; 3) Stella says very nasty things about Heather; and 4) Heather thereafter confronted Sir Paul.

Reps for Paul and Heather had no comment, and Stella’s rep did not return calls. […]

“It’s taken a turn for the worse,” says another close source. “Heather can be explosive, but Paul has a furious temper too. There are a lot more punches to come before the blood is on the mat.”

Yay!

Beyoncé Knowles really seems to have figured it all out:

Knowles, who’s usually mum about boyfriend Jay-Z, also comments about their relationship, saying, “It’s very easy. He’s so quick. And we respect each other. If I have any suggestions he respects it. If he has any suggestions, I respect it. It’s just, I don’t know, easy. And fun.”

That’s deep, girl. No really. It’s profound.

Carmen Electra confirms that peeing your pants in public is the new pink in Hollywood.

I wonder if this trend will catch on. I hope it does not, but then again stranger things have happened.
