While you were sleeping

Let's start the day with some poetry: "Hip Hurrah, it's the first of May/ The outdoor boinking starts today." Alright, fine culture out of the way, here's a new picture from The Amazing Spider-Man.

Octomom files for bankruptcy "We all saw it coming - Octomom has filed for bankruptcy ... TMZ has learned. Nadya Suleman filed for Chapter 7 Monday in federal court - a month after going on welfare - meaning she's hopelessly buried in a mountain of debt. Chapter 7 is the most serious form of bankruptcy - it's basically when you go belly up - something Octo is well-familiar with. The legal docs we obtained do not specify her creditors or how much she owes - but it's pretty clear ... she's dead broke."

This sounds pretty great Deadline: "In a competitive situation, True Detective, an eight-part event drama series project starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, has landed at HBO with a straight-to-series order. I hear the pay cable network is finalizing a deal for an eight-episode order to the high-concept cop drama written on spec by Nic Pizzolatto, with Cary Fukunaga (Jane Eyre) on board to direct all episodes. True Detective, which sparked heated bidding after it was taken out to the top cable networks earlier this month, is descried as an elevated serial narrative with multiple perspectives and time frames. It centers on two detectives, Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a seventeen-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened. The concept is for the 8-episode first season to resolve the mystery at hand, with subsequent seasons using same structure but new characters and story. True Detective is gearing up to start production right away."

Splitsville People: "Martin Lawrence filed divorce papers seeking joint custody of his two daughters with wife Shamicka and requesting that their assets be divided under the terms of a prenuptial agreement. The Big Momma's House star cites the usual "irreconcilable differences" in his petition filed April 25 in Los Angeles Superior Court. Lawrence, 47, and Shamicka were married for less than two years but had been together for another 15 years and have daughters ages 9 and 11. The date of separation was listed as April 24, the day before the pair announced their split."

John Legend joins Duets THR: "John Legend has been added to ABC's musical competition series Duets as a replacement for Lionel Richie, who has dropped out of the program. It was announced in early March that Richie would take part in the series, but because of scheduling issues, he will not be participating. As of late, Richie - whose country duets album Tuskegee   has been No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the past two weeks   - has made appearances on NBC's The Voice as a mentor and had a two-hour CBS concert special, ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends - In Concert, that aired April 13. Legend will join Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Nettles and Robin Thicke as they search the country for undiscovered musical talent to be featured on the summer show. The mentors ultimately will choose two singers to be their partners, and in the end, one partner will receive a recording contract with Hollywood Records."

Goody "Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom may have pulled the plug on their reality show, but E! wants desperately to stay in business with her, and they're already working on another spin-off ... TMZ has learned. We broke the story ... Khloe and Lamar have notified E! that they will no longer do the 3rd season of their reality show so Lamar can focus on his basketball career. But sources connected with E! tell TMZ ... the network is talking with Khloe about a spin-off show similar to her other show, "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami." E! sources say Khloe is a "huge draw," and as one source put it, "We're definitely in the Khloe Kardashian business."

Spawn "Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard became the proud parents of their second baby girl, a rep for Gyllenhaal confirms to Us Weekly exclusively. Born April 19 in New York, the parents named their newborn Gloria Ray. The Hysteria actress, 34, and the Lovelace actor, 41, are already parents to daughter Ramona, 5. Together since 2002, the couple tied the knot at a small chapel in Brindisi, Italy on May 2, 2009."

Will Smith and Denzel Washington: Together at last? Deadline: "Adam McKay is in negotiations to develop to direct Uptown Saturday Night, the Warner Bros remake that the studio hopes will star Will Smith and Denzel Washington ...McKay most recently helmed The Other Guys, and before that Talladega Nights. The 1974 comedy starred Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier as pals who visit an illegal nightclub, and are forced to hand over their wallets to thieves. Turns out one of them contains a winning lottery ticket, emboldening the duo to bump up against the criminal element to get back the wallet. There are plenty of remakes that elicit groans. If this package comes together (Smith and Washington have long wanted to work together), with McKay’s comic sensibility, this redo could be exceptional. The original cast was lined with the likes of Harry Belafonte, Flip Wilson and Richard Pryor, and the remake could follow suit by star-casting the supporting roles."

Spawn "Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to be a mom again. The Ringer actress, 35, and husband Freddie Prinze Jr., 36, are expecting their second child, People confirms. “She and Freddie are thrilled,” a source close to Gellar tells People. “They love their little girl more than anything in the world and know that love will only multiply. She is such a fantastic mom; it is just great news.” The couple are already parents to 2-year-old daughter Charlotte Grace, who was born in September 2009."

Great news for Fringe fans Coming Soon: "FOX has picked up "Fringe" for a fifth and final 13-episode season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. "Fringe" co-creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams said, "We are thrilled and beyond grateful that FOX - and our fans - have made the impossible possible: 'Fringe" will continue into a fifth season that will allow the series to conclude in a wild and thrilling way. All of us at Bad Robot are forever indebted to our viewers and the amazingly supportive FOX network for allowing the adventures of Fringe Division to not only continue, but to resolve in a way that perfectly fits the show." "This pickup means the world (both of them) to us, because we love sharing these stories with our enthusiastic fans," added "Fringe" showrunners and executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman. "On behalf of the cast and crew, we applaud our fans and FOX for allowing us to imagine the impossibilities together for so long. Season Five is going to be a conclusive thrill ride for all of us."

All the other tables are super-jealous "Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan will be seated at the same table Saturday night at the White House Correspondents' Dinner ... TMZ has learned. Kim and Lindsay were both invited by Fox News Channel and they will be face-to-face at the table ... sources planning the event tell TMZ. As for whether there are any grudges between the two - we're told there are none. In fact, Kim has been supportive of Lindsay during her troubles and Lindsay attended Kim's wedding. We're told they are pretty close. The big question - Will Kim and Lindsay meet Prez Obama? One source directly involved with the event tells us, "No way. The President almost never mingles with the guests."

Husband-to-be is now Britney's conservator People: "Jason Trawick, Britney Spears's fiancé, was approved as a co-conservator for the pop star by a Los Angeles judge Wednesday. "Jamie's thrilled," his attorney Geraldine Wyle told reporters following the hearing, referring to Spears's father. "It's all in the family." Wyle also clarified that the request to add Trawick came at Britney's request, not Jamie's. Conservators typically have legal authority over a person's general well-being, which includes decisions about food, clothing and medical care. A source close to the singer previously told People that Britney enjoys plenty of personal freedom and that the conservatorship is mostly in name only. Trawick will not have any legal control over Britney's multimillion-dollar fortune, which is overseen by her father and another attorney. Dad Jamie Spears has held legal control over his daughter and her finances since Feb. 2008 after the singer suffered a psychological breakdown. The conservatorship will be lifted only after a judge is convinced, on the advice of the singer's doctors, that she's healthy enough to manage her own affairs."

What have you wrought, Hologram Tupac? "For the first time in nearly a decade, TLC will be reuniting for a U.S. concert tour later this year - and TMZ has learned, the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes will be making a special appearance. The group's rep tells us, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas are currently in the planning stages of a massive 2012 reunion tour in the U.S. So far, we're told 5 major cities have already been booked - and even more are in the works. But the big surprise ... we're told the group plans to pull a Tupac - incorporating their deceased former member Left Eye in the shows, projecting her image on a big screen and working her vocals into the live performances."

Spawn "Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have adopted their second daughter, a rep for the actress confirms to Us Weekly. No other details were available. The couple, who wed in 2007, adopted daughter Naleigh from South Korea in 2009. "Josh and I started talking about [adoption] before we were even engaged," Heigl told Scholastic Parent & Child in February. "My sister Meg is Korean, and my parents adopted her three years before I was born. I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea."

What is wrong with people? No, really. I'd like to know TMZ: "A black surgical mask that Michael Jackson allegedly wore the night before he died in 2009 has hit the auction block - and the bids have already surpassed $20,000. According to the auction house - Nate D. Sanders Auctions - MJ wore the mask (above) while rehearsing for his "This Is It" concert tour on June 24th, 2009 ... the singer's last ever rehearsal. The auction house claims the mask  - made of silk fabric, personally designed by the King of Pop - contains visible traces of MJ's stage make-up along with a strand of his black hair. One of MJ's former bodyguards was in possession of the mask, and swears by its authenticity. MJ famously wore surgical masks outdoors as a form of disguise. The auction ends April 30th - and bidding has already reached $21,190. The auction house estimates the mask will sell for $50,000-$150,000."

Well, hi there Lindsay Lohan's dad. It's been a while "Rosie O'Donnell is in no position to bash Lindsay Lohan - at least according to Lindsay's loyal father, who claims Rosie's a washed-up failure at life ... who only stayed famous because she adopted a bunch of kids. Michael Lohan tells TMZ, "Who the hell is Rosie O'Donnell to judge anyone, especially Lindsay, who has far more talent than Rosie ever had?" He says, "Lindsay's talent isn't limited to being a comedian or getting notoriety for adopting and raising a bunch of kids. Sure, [Lindsay] has her pitfalls, but she is 25, and how old is Rosie?" (50, in case you're wondering). Michael adds, "Two failed talk shows, a failed marriage, etc ... He/she who is without sin. May they cast the first stone." As we previously reported, Rosie went on "Today" this morning, claiming Lindsay hasn't made a single good film since she was sixteen ... and isn't capable of portraying Liz Taylor in her new movie."

Splitsville "Martin Lawrence and his wife are calling it quits. "Martin and Shamicka Lawrence have decided to divorce," a rep for the Big Momma's House star, 47, tells People. "The couple has made the joint decision to part ways." The couple had been together for 15 years before getting married in 2010 at their home in Beverly Hills. "Out of love and respect for one another we will continue to remain friends and raise our two beautiful daughters together," the couple said in a joint statement released to People by his rep."

Spawn "Welcome to the world, Pearl Osbourne! Jack Osbourne's fiancee, Lisa Stelly, welcomed the couple's first child - a daughter - his rep confirms to Us Weekly. Little Pearl weighed a healthy 8 lbs., 6 oz. at birth. The entire Osbourne family - including Jack's mom, Sharon, and sister, Kelly - have been anxiously awaiting Pearl's arrival, and tell Us Jack will be a terrific father. "He's very nervous - but nervous-excited," Sharon, 59, told Us Thursday. "He'll be a very good dad. I think he'll be very strict, but he'll be a very good dad."

Mel Gibson takes time out from yelling incoherently Coming Soon: "Things are moving steadily forward on Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills as Deadline reports that Mel Gibson is close to joining the cast and The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Rodriguez hopes to fully direct the sequel to the 2010 film (which he co-directed with Ethan Maniquis). Gibson's potential role is currently undisclosed but his name has been rumored for some time. Rodriguez, meanwhile, says that the current plan is to shoot the totality of the sequel himself but that, depending on scheduling with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, he may turn to another director for help. ... Rodriguez had announced last summer that Machete Kills will include a Grindhouse style trailer for the third (at the moment fictional) entry in the franchise, Machete Kills Again... In Space!."

Vegas stint for Britney? Las Vegas Review-Journal: "Britney Spears' first multiweek deal as a Las Vegas resident headliner is being discussed with the Hard Rock Hotel. Vegas Confidential has learned Hard Rock President and Chief Operating Officer Paul Pusateri and Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, have been talking. Spears, who has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, would perform at The Joint, the Hard Rock's concert venue that can accommodate 4,000. "The queen of pop will be the queen of the Hard Rock if all goes according to plan," a source close to the talks said. Talks intensified after the success of Mötley Crüe's recent two-week engagement, "the most successful shows in the hotel's history," the source said. The Hard Rock's new management team wants to change the fan experience by offering more accessibility to celebrities. "People will be able to rub shoulders with the celebs. Gone are the days of hiding them behind velvet ropes," the source added. "You'll be able to gamble with DJ Pauly D, have dinner with Britney and have drinks with Mötley Crüe."

Noah Wyle arrested People: "Former ER star Noah Wyle has been arrested. The actor was pictured in handcuffs where he and more than 100 other people were arrested during a protest at Capitol Hill on Monday. Wylie and members of the group ADAPT were urging Congress not to cut Medicaid. The protesters were handcuffed in the rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building, according to the Associated Press. ADAPT maintains that cuts in Medicaid would force elderly people and those with disabilities out of their homes and into nursing homes to get services they require. Wyle is best known for his role as John Carter on NBC's hit medical drama ER. And, it was just about a month ago that another former ER star was arrested in D.C.: George Clooney found himself in the back of a secret service van after a Sudan protest."

More Voice Deadline: "With NBC’s The Voice heading into the homestretch of its second season, it looks like NBC is doing the same on new deals with star coaches Adam Levine, Cee-Lo, Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera. I hear the pacts with Levine, Cee-Lo and Shelton are pretty much done, with Aguilera’s getting there too. Still, there is a lot of scheduling details to iron out as NBC is eying The Voice for fall next season. I hear the quartet are all getting salary bumps, with Levine, Cee-Lo and Shelton moving up to in the high seven-figure range per season, and Aguilera, who started off higher, still expected to cut the biggest paycheck. While it has been declining in the ratings for the last several weeks following a blazing start after the Super Bowl, The Voice remains NBC’s strongest non-football performer by a mile and is expected to be an anchor for the network’s schedule next season."

Spawn? Access Hollywood: "Megan Fox is pregnant, according to yet another report. On Monday night, E! News reported that a source claimed to the organization that the star is pregnant with her first child with husband Brian Austin Green. This marks the second report that Megan is pregnant. Just last month, Star Magazine also claimed the actress and Brian were expecting their first child together. The former “Transformers” star told Access Hollywood at the premiere of “Friends with Kids” in New York City earlier this year that she was hoping to have “at least two, maybe three” children. She also said she was leaving the timing up to a higher authority. “It’s up to God,” she smiled. “It’s gonna happen when it’s supposed to happen.”

Chaos Walking becomes more interesting Deadline: "Lionsgate has high hopes that the Patrick Ness young adult novel series Chaos Walking has the potential to become another futuristic Hunger Games-esque franchise. While the mission on most of those book to movie sensations is to stick close to the books, Lionsgate has done an intriguing thing on Chaos Walking: they’ve set Charlie Kaufman to adapt the first book in the series. The Carnegie Medal winning book is set in a dystopian future with humans colonizing a distant earth-like planet. When an infection called the Noise suddenly makes all thought audible, privacy vanishes, chaos ensues, and a corrupt autocrat threatens to take control of the human settlements and wage war with the indigenous alien race ... Kaufman seems an inspired choice. His previous adaptations of the Chuck Barris memoir Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and the Susan Orlean book The Orchid Thief (which became the Meryl Streep-starrer Adaptation) took the subject matter into all kinds of imaginative directions not found in the pages of those books."

Oh Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay ... TMZ: "Lindsay Lohan was the instigator, aggressor and drink-tosser in the fight at The Standard Hotel Wednesday night ... this according to a witness who was with the other girl involved in the altercation. The witness tells us ... the incident began after a major misunderstanding between the two sides while they were partying at the Smoke and Mirrors nightclub inside the hotel. We're told the girl was hanging out at the booth next to Lindsay's ... when Lohan tapped her on the shoulder aggressively and asked, "Did you bump into me?" The girl denied the bump ... and suggested the real culprit could have been one of the guys in Lindsay's group. She then pointed to one of the men. Lindsay replied, "That's my dad ... why would he bump me?" The girl shot back, "You go clubbing with your dad?" That's when Lindsay snapped ... so says the witness ... who claims Lindsay began cussing at the girl and then threw a drink at her face. We're told Lindsay's dad realized what was happening .... grabbed his daughter ... and bailed. Michael Lohan appeared on "TMZ Live" yesterday and adamantly denied his daughter chucked any beverage that night (below) ... claiming it was Lindsay who was the real victim and the recipient of the liquid projectile. Either way, the other girl is currently weighing her legal options. Sources close to LiLo is adamant - her dad is telling the true story."

Lawrence, who has not officially signed on as of yet and who still has to go through the negotiation process, most recently directed the period drama Water for Elephants for the screen.

All the stars of Cannes People: "The carpet will be red hot – with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson,Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, and new parents Emma Heming and Bruce Willis, turning this year's Cannes Film Festival into a two-week A-lister date night. Add in Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban – and the possibility of a Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith sighting – and you might forget they also show movies at the world's most glamorous film event. The 64th Cannes fest, which will run from May 16 to 27, formally announced its schedule in Paris on Thursday, and organizers haven't stinted on star power. One year after Pitt's film Tree of Life took Cannes's top prize, the star is returning, this time with his bride to be, Jolie, who is expected to join him when his New Orleans caper Killing Them Softly vies in competition. Stewart and Pattinson will turn up separately for their movies, On the Road and Cosmopolis, although don't be surprised to see them together. Opening night's movie Moonrise Kingdom, being shown in competition, stars Wills.Mud, starring McConaughey and Witherspoon, was a surprise last-minute addition, sources tell People. Also anticipated: Efron and Kidman climbing the Palais steps together. She has two films in Cannes, The Paperboy and the thriller Stoker.

Mayor Kardashian? "Will Kim Kardashian be running for mayor of Glendale, Calif.? The 31-year-old reality star's rep cleared up the confusion to Us Weekly after a unaired clip posted Tuesday from Khloe and Lamar showed Kim saying, "I decided I'm going to run for the mayor of Glendale." "Kim has always looked for opportunities to grow and also do what she can to help and support the Armenian community," her rep said in a statement to Us. "She's learning more about ways in which she can help to do her part to make a difference in the community." In the clip (obtained by Radar Online), Kardashian ponders a career in politics. "Noelle [Keshishian] is going to head my campaign, but it's going to be in five years," she tells her little sister Khloe Kardashian-Odom, 27. "I have to buy a house there [because] you have to have residency." "Noelle and I are looking into all the requirements and she's going to help me with my campaign, because it's like Armenian town," she adds. "I need to wait, like, five years."

So, The Hangover with old dudes? Coming Soon: "Yesterday, it was reported that Michael Douglas may be playing the lead in Jon Turtletaub's ensemble comedy Last Vegas for CBS Films, and now Vulture reports that Robert De Niro is in negotiations to play one of Douglas' bachelor party-attending buddies. Their story also confirms Douglas' recent statements that Christopher Walken may join them as the third of four long-time buddies who gather in Vegas for a bachelor party blow-out, although the stories haven't mentioned which of the characters either of them might play. If those three negotiations go through, that would leave just one more septuagenarian male role to be cast for the movie, that of African-American Air Force vet Archibald Clay... oh, Morgan Freeman? Are you busy in August?"

Jason Segel talks about Michelle Williams. Kinda "Since Us Weekly broke news last month - with adorable photo evidence - of Jason Segel and Michelle Williams' unexpected new relationship, the couple has stayed quiet about their surprisingly serious relationship. But Segel, 32, finally piped up when asked by Extra about Williams, 31. "I think we would just very much like to be happy. That's all I'm going to say about it," the actor said alongside 5 Year Engagement costar Emily Blunt. Blunt herself cooed of Segel's romantic evolution: "He's a man-boy! He used to be a boy-boy and now he's a man-boy." Joked Segel: "I think I might even be becoming a man-man... potentially!"

Vampire spawn "Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are expecting their first child together this fall, the actress’s rep confirms to People. The True Blood costars met on the set of the hit HBO show and have been married since August 2010. Moyer has two children — Lilac, 10, and Billy, 12 — from a previous relationship. Paquin, 29, who won an Oscar for The Piano when she was just 11, will return as Sookie and Moyer, 42, will be back as Bill for True Blood‘s fifth season, premiering June 10."

Kanye West says he didn't say that thing about Kim everybody says he said "Kanye West needs to clear the air. Since the Grammy-winning rapper, 34, was snapped out and about in NYC two weekends ago with Kim Kardashian, much has been said about his relationship with the reality star, 31. "...of course there are a lot of media inaccuracies surrounding this past couple of weeks, especially the 'She's my Beyonce' quote. I would never compare anyone to my friend's wife," West tells Us Weekly exclusively. (After a source told Us that the rapper "thinks [Kim] is his Beyonce," a subsequent Saturday Night Live sketch April 14 riffed off that quote, putting the words directly in West's mouth.) "Come on now, that doesn't even sound like me," says West, who is a longtime pal and collaborator of Beyonce's husband Jay-Z. "If I don't say something in a rap or on Twitter, it's not true," the "Otis" rapper tells Us."

But once the team enters the woods, the hunters become the hunted as Tollan will stop at nothing to survive and defend his territory."

... and while we're on the subject "Friends with Benefits meets No Strings Attached, starring Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher? Not so much. On Monday, X17 claimed that the former That '70s Show costars were dating after Kunis, 28, and Kutcher, 34, were photographed hanging out together Sunday - shopping for furniture and heading into Kutcher's new Hollywood Hills home. "No! They're so not dating," Kunis' rep tells Us Weekly, explaining that the twosome recently reunited to film a That '70s Show reunion episode. "They've been friends for years." Pointing out that  "three other people" joined Kunis and Kutcher for dinner on Sunday, her rep adds, "Definitely nothing going on there." A source close to Kunis agrees that the actress wouldn't think about going there with her longtime pal: "She would never ever," the insider shares. Since his high-profile split from Demi Moore after six years of marriage last November, Kutcher has been romantically linked to screenwriter pal Lorene Scafaria, with whom he spent the Christmas holiday in Italy."

Halle Berry finally confirms her engagement  "Olivier Martinez confirmed his engagement to Halle Berry in March, but up until now, Berry has been mum. "Who knew [I'd get engaged again]?" she said with a laugh to Extra on Saturday, during her first red carpet appearance since Martinez popped the question. "I swore it off, right? Never say never, people!" (She did in fact swear it off, telling InStyle in 2007 that, "I will never, never get married again.") In January, a rep for jewelry designer Gurhan told People Martinez, 46, gave Berry, 45, a diamond-and-emerald engagement ring. They met while shooting 2010's Dark Tide and soon became an item off-screen. The actress was previously married to baseball player David Justice and singer Eric Benét."

Kidman on Urban's recovery Us: 'Keith Urban's biggest fan got to share a very special moment with the singer during his recovery from throat surgery last winter. The country singer's wife of five years, Nicole Kidman, was there for her husband's first post-surgery words, and, in a new interview with W magazine, says the "profound" moment moved her to tears - and strengthened the bond she and Urban already shared. Following vocal chord surgery to remove a polyp, the Grammy winner, 44, faced three weeks of silence, during which he couldn't talk at all. "To go without his voice, and then to finally hear [it]. What if he sounded different?" Kidman, 44, revealed. "I was there for his first words, and then we cried." Added the Hemingway & Gellhorn star, "How many people experience their husband's first words? All of those things make you closer...If that doesn't bring you closer, you're not breathing."

Emily Blunt to star with Tom Cruise Coming Soon: "Variety reports that Emily Blunt is in talks to join Tom Cruise in director Doug Liman's All You Need Is Kill. The film is an adaptation of the Japanese novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka which is described as follows: There's one thing worse than dying. It's coming back to do it again and again... When the alien Gitai invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many raw recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On the 158th iteration though, he sees something different, something out of place: the female soldier known as the Bitch of War. Is the Bitch the key to Keiji's escape, or to his final death?

Courtney Love still at it People: "Oh, mom, not again. Frances Bean Cobain lashed out at her mother Courtney Love for claiming on Twitter than her late husband Kurt Cobain's bandmate Dave Grohl had "hit on" Frances and that "she was curious." "While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn," says Frances. "I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way. I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy." Frances adds: "Twitter should ban my mother." Grohl, the Nirvana drummer who now leads the Foo Fighters, also criticized Cobain's widow, who had Tweeted that Grohl was "sexually obsessed" with Cobain. "Unfortunately Courtney is on another hateful Twitter rant," Grohl, the married father of two daughters, says through his rep, according to E!. "These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue." Frances, 19, is engaged to Isaiah Silva, frontman of the rock band the Rambles."

Good to know TMZ: "Morgan Freeman is adamant ... he has NEVER had a romantic relationship with his 27-year-old step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines ... and slams all of the reports to the contrary as "defamatory fabrications." Morgan just released a statement responding to recent reports that he and Hines have been dating for roughly 10 years and were planning to get married in the very near future. Freeman's rep tells us the actor remained silent for years because he didn't want to "dignify these stories by commenting" ... but now he feels compelled to speak out after the reports were picked up by various "mainstream media" outlets. In his statement, Freeman says, "The recent reports of any pending marriage or romantic relationship of me to anyone are defamatory fabrications from the tabloid media designed to sell papers. What is even more alarming is that these fabrications are now being picked up by the legitimate press as well." E'Dena has also issued a statement ... saying, "These stories about me and my grandfather are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family." For the record, E’Dena is the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw. She and Morgan are not related by blood."
