And if you thought there wasn’t enough drama surrounding the Bravo show, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”, there’s this little tidbit.

Apparently, Danielle Staub’s ex-boyfriend, Stephen Zalewski, recorded a sex tape featuring the both of them and he’s planning on releasing it. Ruh Roh!

Staub has halted the release of the tape by asking a judge for an injunction banning it. Her attorney said, “We went to court today to prohibit the distribution of any tape of photograph and temporarily restrain him from doing that, and we were successful.”

Staub says that the tape was “unauthorized and it was taken with his cellphone.”

Staub has also filed a lawsuit against Zalewski, claiming that he is trying to get back at her for dumping him. She’s also suing him for invasion of privacy, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

PROSTITUTION WHORE!! (Sorry I just had to….)

Amy Whinehouse has been living it up in St. Lucia intermixing horseback riding with attempts at career comebacks. She is trying to set up a home there after falling in love with the idea of leaving the UK. However, she isn’t being welcomed by open arms. Jeff Fedee, former governor of the island, is begging to have her kicked out of St. Lucia.

“Amy Winehouse is a “tattooed reptile” who will bring “untold human suffering” to St. Lucia. The former governor of the Caribbean island has written a public appeal begging officials to stop the Rehab singer from buying a house and settling there permanently.

Jeff Fedee wrote in the St. Lucia Star newspaper: “I would strongly urge she be denied residency status to purchase property in St. Lucia. Is she being given special treatment? She’d be a menace and a dangerous influence to our society because the demons that inhabit her tortured body will have to be fed.”

Why is that people like Kanye West and Nick Hogan are allowed to continue existing, but my favorite coke fiend, Amy Winehouse, is being banished? She just wants to ride ponies on the beach while high on air plane glue and the mystery pill she found at the bottom of her purse.

We know her as the brainy but lovable Hermoine from the Harry Potter films but it seems that British actress, Emma Watson has had enough of the biz and could be about to jack it all in.

Speaking in American Teen Vogue magazine Emma says that she might quit acting when the Harry Potter movies are over.

The 19 year old, who looks stunning in these victorian-esque outfits for the photoshoot says:

“Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermoine - like, I felt that -it was life or death - I don’t want to act again.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever been this tired in my life. I literally wear my pajama bottoms to set. I roll out of bed and put on a hoodie and some Ugg boots.”

Emma who is currently promoting the new Potter movie -Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince which is released in the UK next month is also in the middle of filming the seventh and eighth H.P movies - I’m tired just writing about her!

How embarrassing…It’s one thing having to contend with your partner dumping you but to have your fiance walk out weeks before your due to get married in front of tons of famous faces is taking the levels of embarrassment to a whole other level.

This has just happened to Rachel Hunter.

Rod Stewart’s ex was due to wed her Ice Hockey beau Jarret Stoll in a lavish wedding ceremony due to take place on August 14 on a beach in California, but a severe case of wedding jitters (I’m guessing) has led to Jarret calling off the nuptials without so much as an explanation to his poor wife to be.

Could it be the enormous age gap between them that is the reason behind his bolt? After all he’s a mere 27 years of age compared to her 40 - she has two children with her ex, Rod, he has none…maybe the pressure just got too much or maybe he simply is a coward.

According to reports in the Sun newspaper a ’source’ said:

” She is absolutely devastated. Everything was in place for their wedding - she had the venue, the designer dress, the guest list.

“She has absolutely no idea why Jarret has done this. It sounds like a classic case of cold feet. He is a fair bit younger than her.”

Sharon Stone and Michelle Pfeiffer were among the celebrities lined up to attend…If I were Rach I’d still have the party - a ‘Glad I escaped that loser’ party!

His loss I say.

Lindsay Lohan showed up for the Transformers premiere, the only problem is, it was halfway through the movie.

Olivia Munn left the movie about 30 minutes into it to get some air,

“As the movie was playing inside and the crew was tearing down the red carpet- because clearly the red carpet is over… Kevin notices Lindsay Lohan jumping out of a car, tearing off her jacket and posing on what’s left of the red carpet as if she’d never missed the entire event at all.

Thanks to the new iPhone 3GS with video recording, Kevin and I got the whole thing, complete with overpowering sounds of the red carpet being torn down. I guess, she really wanted to get pictures on the red carpet.”

This is sort of pathetic, don’t you think?

There’s been a lot of rumors reported online about Kali Bowyer, most of which is centered around the possibility of Chris Rock being the father of her son.

For the record, Kali is still 99% sure Rock is the father, regardless of a potentially botched DNA test and subsequent cover up.

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down and talking with Kali Bowyer about her forthcoming court case against Chris Rock, and about her new book due to be released this Fall, Hollywood Child.

Rock filed a motion to stop the book from being published, but his attempts failed. [see more about 'Hollywood Child' below]

After years of getting the runaround and when her son became ill, Kali finally filed her first court case against Chris Rock. Kali also claims that there are at least two other women going through the same thing with the comedian…that’s not very funny.

Rock’s lawyer Steven Barns’ initial response to her allegations? An attempt to get her to accept a check and sign a confidentiality agreement. One of the “other women,” Monica, accepted her check and signed a confidentiality agreement — but Kali refused.

Due to jurisdictional issues, the paternity test was performed in NYC, which is something that still doesn’t sit too well with Kali. She claims to have never received any money from the tabloids for her story and in fact turned down offers.

She also believes Rock violated a confidentiality agreement by making the paternity test results public.

Needless to say, she wants a second test — this time she plans to file papers in California.

I found Kali Bowyer to be a very charming, intelligent woman. Outside of lawsuits and book deals, Kali is also a skilled photographer and has several coffee table books for sale.

Hollywood Child by Kali Bowyer is the latest in the kiss’ n tell books. Within the pages of Bowyer’s elaborate tell all are some of the biggest names in Hollywood!

It all started in 1991 when Kali headed on her own from her hometown of Laguna Beach to pursue a career in acting. She was fresh off the bus, but she was well aware of all the clichés that went along with being a starry-eyed youth. She thought she could handle the challenges in front of her because she had a hard knock upbringing; being the only daughter of “Rehab Doctor” to the stars. Unfortunately, she was seduced by the glamour of it all.

Kali quickly landed in the right circles, making friends with the Comedy Store club which included Pauly Shore and Jay Leno. Roxbury’s became her home away from home attending some of the most prestigious private parties in town. She clicked well with Chris Rock, who was just making a name for himself. Insecure and immature, Chris was not the power performer he is today. Chris doted on Kali, making her feel like a queen. He introduced her to all his friends, Arsenio Hall, Spike Lee, Madonna and Eddie Murphy.

And that’s when the trouble began.

Drugs were everywhere and Kali didn’t know when to stop the press button. That is until she became pregnant with Chris’ baby. Kali retreated from this reckless lifestyle to bring up her son in a healthy environment. She moved out of the 90210 and tried her best to be a good mother.

Thirteen years later she discovered her son suffered from a rare illness. She reached out to Chris for help in the past. She wanted him to at the very least pay the doctor bills. But she never got Chris on the phone. She could only talk to his lawyers. Bullying, nasty phone calls, doctored paternity tests, stalking and threats followed, sending Kali into a state of panic where she couldn’t sleep for fear of Chris’ poison-tongued thugs.

Hollywood Child will be available in book stores as well as Amazon.com, Sony eBook, iPhone Formatting, Barnes & Noble and Border online.

Attention all you crazy Edward Cullen fans — this video won’t get you any closer to the bloodsucking bad boy, but you can at least take joy in knowing the girl he does sink his teeth into totally ate pavement on a movie set.

Kristen Stewart was filming as Joan Jett in “The Runaways,” she totally pulled a Bella Swan — by clumsily hurling herself into the sidewalk.

Does this make you feel any better?

Items of note: Miley Cyrus looks no different - if I was her I would demand a refund. The absolute humor of Hilary Duff and Faye Dunaway being in this post together.
