BIEBER RANTS AGAINST RUMORS
Justin Bieber is sick of all the bad press he’s been getting lately and wants everyone to know it. The “Baby” singer posted a rant on his Instagram page yesterday (filled with typos, misspellings and incorrect punctuation), in which he went off on the recent rumors that have been circulating about him, including claims he’s going to rehab. "I'm tired of all the countless lies in the press right now. Saying I'm going to rehab and how my family is disappointed in me. My family is beyond proud,” he wrote. “If Anyone believes i need rehab thats their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world. 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of, i'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning. I know my talent level and i know i got my head on straight. i know who i am and i know who i'm not My messege is to to believe." He adds, “I honestly don't care if you don't believe in me because I believe in me, and look where that's gotten me so far. I'm writing this with a smile on my face and love in my heart." Justin ended his rant with a dig at Lindsay Lohan. Wrote Biebs, “And to those comparing me to Lindsey Lohan. Look at her 2012 tax statements." He eventually took down the Lindsay dig, explaining to TMZ, "My post was only up for a few minutes [10] but I realized right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say. I immediately deleted it and rewrote it so it would show what I was really feeling and those words are up now."
LINDSAY WON’T MAKE A DEAL
Well, it looks like Lindsay Lohan will definitely be going to court Monday. TMZ reports that prosecutors have ended plea negotiations with the Mean Girls star’s lawyers. Apparently talks broke down because Lindsay isn’t willing to accept any form of punishment for lying to the cops in connection with her summer car accident. Lindsay is due in court Monday and TMZ says her lawyer could try and enter a plea deal then, but considering Lindsay is not on board with cutting a deal, it isn’t likely to happen. If she’s found guilty Lindsay could face jail time, not only for lying to the cops, but also for violating her probation in her jewelry heist case.
CHARLIE FUMING AFTER DAUGHTER IS BULLIED
Charlie Sheen is fuming mad, and he’s taking his anger out at the Los Angeles elementary school where his nine-year-old daughter Sam was a student. In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Charlie urged his followers to send “a rotted egg, a roll of toilet paper or some dog sh*t” to LA’s Viewpoint School because Sam was “bullied out of” the institution and “called a liar.” Although Charlie wouldn’t elaborate on what happened, TMZ reports that a girl named Victoria teased Sam so mercilessly that the child became sick and could not attend class. Sam’s mom Denise Richards had three meetings at the school to complain, one at which Victoria’s parents insisted Sam was lying, so they decided to pull Sam out of the institution. On Twitter, Charlie said the school was “run by trolls and charlatans” and added, “we will not tolerate this level of abhorrent disrespect towards the child of your favorite Warlock. And if your (sic) feeling the ‘show and tell’ of it all, smear the sh*t to spell one name on the front door; VICTORIA. Eat that loser.”

CRAWFORD BLAMES GERE BREAKUP ON AGE DIFFERENCE
Cindy Crawford has opened up to Oprah Winfrey about what exactly caused the breakup of her marriage to Richard Gere. The couple met when Crawford was 21 and Gere was 37. They married four years later, but the union only lasted four years. Crawford said the age difference was a big reason why they didn’t last. “I just think your twenties, for women, is such a time when you're starting to come into your own and feel your own power and connect to your inner strength,” said the 47-year-old. “I think I was more willing at 22 to be, like, ‘okay, I'll follow,’ but then you start going, ‘Well, I don't want to just follow, I want to lead sometimes and I want to walk side by side sometimes."'
DUNHAM HAPPY WITH HER BODY
Anyone who watches Girls knows Lena Dunham doesn’t have a problem showing her body, and she tells Playboy she’s perfectly happy with what she’s got and would never want the figure of a Victoria’s Secret model. “I don’t think I’d like it very much,” she said. “I don’t want to go through life wondering if people are talking to me because I have a big rack. Not being the babest person in the world creates a nice barrier.” But she does believe there would be one perk to having the perfect bod. “That said, I probably would want to see if I could get free food at restaurants,” she said. “Then I’d call the doctor and see if she could return me to my former situation.”
KRIS BLAMED FOR DEPOSITION LEAK
Kim Kardashian is said to be fuming that Life & Style magazine got a hold of sworn testimony from a deposition in her divorce case. In fact, she believes her ex Kris Humphries’ legal team was directly responsible for the leak. “Kim is fed up with the courtroom tactics of her estranged husband,” said a source. The leaked testimony came from a Keeping Up With The Kardashians producer who admitted to re-shooting Kris’ proposal scene because Kim “didn’t like how her face looked in the first take.” But an insider tells The New York Post that reshoots in reality TV aren’t a big secret. “This is normal operating procedure on any reality show. None of this shows fraud, which is what Kris is trying to prove,” said the insider. “His entire case is based on the premise that he is the stupidest person on the planet.”
MILEY DESPERATE TO WIN LIAM BACK
By most accounts, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are over, but sources say Miley is not giving up on their love. According to Radaronline, Miley is desperate to save their relationship. “Miley is super independent, which Liam loves about her, but at the same time she’s an insecure girl who’s terrified of losing him and will do whatever it takes to make their relationship work,” said a source. “This just goes to show Miley’s immaturity and lack of relationship experience — that she’s the one who’s dying to make it work with Liam, when he’s the one who strayed from their relationship!” (Rumors claim he was getting close to January Jones at an Oscar party.) While Miley likes to appear as though she’s a “bad-ass,” and that “nothing bothers her,” the source says, “on the inside she wants to be loved and doesn’t think she could ever snag another guy as amazing as Liam.”
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA’S KANDI SUES KIM
Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss has filed a lawsuit against her ex-castmate Kim Zolciak over Kim’s song “Tardy for the Party.” And to make this feud even more interesting, Kandi is being represented by fellow Housewives star Phaedra Parks. According to Radaronline, Burruss is claiming copyright infringement because she wrote the song for Kim, but Kim released it without her consent. The suit is seeking an accurate accounting of the money Kim made from the sale of the single. But Kim is not backing down without a fight. “If I owed her money, why did she do another song,” Zolciak Tweeted when followers questioned her about the lawsuit. “Kandi tried to pull the song down in Dec on iTunes but after I showed documents and proved points song was immediately put back up.” Kim has reportedly called the lawsuit a “publicity stunt.”

Said the source, “if it doesn’t work out with Brian, she can still be a mom one day.”
