Lady Gaga is simply saying it as if she observes it. Or at least akin to Jo Calderone, her male alter ego who performed at the MTV VMAs last night, watches it.

Jo Calderone feigned pretty the show on stage, however he also weighed in with some interesting remarks about Britney Spears in the press room.

When asked if he would link up with Britney, Jo said:

“Well, maybe if she wants to, you know what I’m saying. She is f–king hot. Britney’s f–king hot. I don’t know. Gaga is my girl, but Britney’s f–king hot – this is f–king Britney Spears! Didn’t you jerk off to Britney when you were a kid?”

As for who thinks Calderone is and where he came from, the drag version of Gaga had this to say:

“I am from Jersey,” he said. “My family is from Palermo, Sicily. I’m not a singer or a model or an actor or anything. I’m just some guy.”

But don’t call him a “guido.” He wasn’t happy when someone did. Perhaps he’s not a fan of Jersey Shore, where that’s a compliment?

“I’m not a f–king guido!” Jo snarled. “What? You don’t like Italians? What the f–k is the matter with you? I am just a guy, you know.”

“I just wanted to show my girl how much I love her. That’s all.”

Jo said that Lady Gaga asked him to represent her at the VMAs.

The singer Born This Way singer tweeted this morning, “To win 2VMAs, Best Video with a Message + Best Female Video for Born This Way means the world. I have never believed in a work so much.”

It seems it was Gaga. You never know!

The “Braveheart” star Mel Gibson and his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva have reached a custody settlement after nearly a year of legal wrangling.

The legal war that has made headlines for two years seems to be ended after they legitimately resolved a financial and child custody agreement, ending the stumbling battle from one of the unsurpassed worst celebrity breakups.

Mel’s representative Alan Nierob tells the publication, “I can confirm the parties have settled the matter and we appreciate all the judge’s help.”

Los Angeles County Superior Court issued a statement reading: “As a result of a multiday settlement conference, the court announces that Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva have achieved a settlement in their ongoing dispute.”

However, the terms and conditions of the agreement have not been announced yet.

The former couple has to reappear in court next week in order to discuss financial agreements in addition to the custody issue of their 1-year-old daughter Lucia.

In March, the actor appealed no dispute to battery against the Russian musician in an agreement that permitted him to avoid jail time in the case.

Oksana contacted the police six months after the Malibu incident in which she claimed that Mel punched her, and also intimidated her and Lucia.

Afterward, Mel Gibson’s tapes appeared, having now-notorious tirades in which he said she “deserved” the assault and he would “bury” her.

Hopefully, the agreement will be fully implemented.

Oscar-winner filmmaker, Sofia Coppola, and the lead singer of Phoenix and her longtime boyfriend, Thomas Mars, are now husband and wife.

The duo wed in a civil ceremony at the villa of Coppola’s family in the Southern hamlet of Bernalda, Italy. The event was arranged in a garden of a historic palazzo in the town where her great-grandfather was born.

There were almost 80 friends and family members who attended the wedding ceremony, including ‘Star Wars’ filmmaker George Lucas. According to some rumors, the bride’s cousins, Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman, were also watched the couple married.

The bride was looking beautiful in a lavender dress gathered at the waist made by Azzedine Alaia. Her father, Francis Ford Coppola, who is an Oscar-winning director, walked his daughter down the aisle.

The reception was very Italian with all the delicious cheeses, wines, and local dishes.  It was a just like a dream wedding.

“If they wanted to do a Hollywood wedding, they wouldn’t have done it here,” Leonardo Chiruzzi (Bernalda’s mayor) told the publication regarding the event. “(They) chose to do it here because it’s here – it’s here that is beautiful.”

“Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden,” he added.

40-year-old Sofia won an Academy Award for her ‘Lost in Translation’ original screenplay in 2004, and made her the third woman ever nominated for a directing Oscar. In 2010, her film “Somewhere” won the top Golden Lion prize at the Venice film festival last year.

This was her second marriage as she got divorced from her fellow filmmaker Spike Jonze in 2003.

She got engaged to Thomas in May. They live in Paris, and have two daughters together: 4.5-year-old Romy, and 15-months-old Cosima.

Congratulations to the newlywed couple.

The three year relationship between Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter is now over.

The split is confirmed by the representative for the New York Yankees shortstop and his “Friday Night Lights” actress girlfriend.

“They care about each other and it was amicable. They’re still friends,” a source told the publication.

31-year-old Minka has been dating 37-year-old Derek since May 2008. Before that, she was related to John Mayer and Chris Evans. The duo kept their three year relationship quite private, with Minka appearing at the occasional Yankees game or parade float.

Minka had been a regular presence in the baseball star’s family’s box at Yankee Stadium throughout the summer, since the duo avoided engagement rumors for the past year or so.

She was most recently seen in the stands at Yankee Stadium, cheering from the sidelines, as Derek got his 3000th home run this summer.

Kelly, who starred in “The Roommate” alongside Leighton Meester, was chosen Esquire’s sexiest woman alive last year.

The actress also appeared on the HBO documentary, “Derek Jeter 3K”, in late July celebrating the athlete’s career getting prelude to his record-breaking home run. His Batting average is up to 0.299. He will also recover from this break up in a civilized manner as he has formerly dated Mariah Carey, Jordana Brewster, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, and Gabrielle Union.

“When I met Derek, I didn’t know anything about baseball at all. I didn’t know the difference between a run and a homerun,” Kelly said in the documentary.

“She’s lying. She had a poster of me on her wall when she was in high school,” Derek joked.

Kelly will be starring in the updated TV series of “Charlie’s Angels”, which recently started filming in Miami. The show premieres on ABC on September 22.

She has been cast alongside “General Hospital” star Annie Ilozeh and “Transformers” actress Rachael Taylor.

The new series is called as a modern take on the now notorious story of “Charlie’s Angels”, which is about three private detectives, namely Abby, Marisa, and Kate, who meet when they are all employed by the same mystery man.

“The Wire” star Ramon Rodriguez will act as Charlie’s Assistant Bosley.

Flower Films, a production company of Drew Barrymore, will be leading the ABC project alongside Sony Pictures TV.

Barrymore is surely conversant in the 70s show. She starred in a two-part movie remake, Charlie’s Angels in 2000 and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle in 2003, alongside Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz.

The custody battle between Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry has been won by Halle. However, it is quite obvious that the real loser will be three-year-old Nahla.

Berry and her lawyers, Judy Bogen and Neal Hersh, succeeded in court today, as the former couple stood by while their lawyers gave arguments before the family law judge.

According to sources, the former duo was in the court in view of the fact that Halle will be leaving to film a movie in Europe and there was a question regarding which parent will be spending time with his or her daughter when Berry is shooting a movie.

Halle defeated her ex Gabriel Aubry in this latest edition of their ongoing custody, which means that Nahla will go with her mother abroad.

Although this issue is not a big one, however Halle has brought up to the court. She claims that Gabriel has endangered the safety of their kid.

A number of more hearings will unluckily take place relating the family.

The singer, Christina Aguilera, is really enraged, and for a very good motive.

Earlier this week, the website MediaTakeOut published a photo of her son, Max, and wrote the headline: “Child Abuse???? Christina Aguilera’s son is Photo’d With a Black Eye!!!”

Christina, who remained above the fight when exclaimed by Kelly Osbourne, did not remain quiet for such an allegation and asked her lawyer to release a statement.

 The lawyer, Eric Greenspan, wrote to the MediaTakeOut:

“Christina is a wonderful mother and was not present in the park when Max fell and hurt himself. To imply that she had something to do with this incident, without any investigation on your part whatsoever, is reckless and unconscionable.”

After that, the lawyer threatened a lawsuit and concluded: “Have you no shame!!!!”

Since then, the website in question changed the headline.

There were a lot of speculations regarding Amy Winehouse’s tragic death. However, the soul singer’s toxicology results have confirmed that she was not on any kind of illegal drugs at the time of her death, as said by her family members.

However, she had been drinking alcohol, and it was found in her system.

According to Amy’s family, officials have not found out if the alcohol played a role in her death.

A representative from Scotland Yard told the publication that the law enforcement agency has not yet received a copy of Winehouse’s toxicology results from the coroner.

Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment July 23. Her family swore she had quitted drugs at the time of her death, and even said that she died because of quitting alcohol.

A representative of Winehouse family said in a statement:

“Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities confirm there were no illegal substances in Amy’s system at the time of her death.”

“Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.”

“The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process.”

“They await the outcome of the inquest in October.”

The notable thing is that Amy’s family claims no illegal drugs were there in her body; however, they made completely no statement about prescription drugs.

A source close to the family would not comment on prescription drugs, even though he and the rest of the family were categorical on illegal drugs.

When it comes to prescription drugs, there are many that contain opiates akin to heroin, which she particularly battled, including OxyContin and Morphine.

The family claims they have seen toxicology reports which markdown illegal drugs. No further information has been released yet.

Lisa Wu-Hartwell broke up with her husband of six years, Ed Hartwell.

The former Real Housewife of Atlanta (RHOA) star declared, via Twitter, over the weekend that they were taking a break from each other, however Lisa wanted to clarify one thing, and that is, it isn’t about the Benjamins.

“Sadly. We are separated but would NEVER be over money. That is so far from the truth. Wish people could respect people’s privacy during times like these.”

The pair has already begun making amendments, with Lisa changed to her maiden name on Twitter, whereas Ed changed his Facebook status to “Seperated”.

Wu-Hartwell exited the Bravo franchise last year because she was not happy with the direction of the show.
