Paula Abdul was furious about being fired from The X Factor, despite that statement she issued said otherwise. Apparently Paula was blindsided and when Simon dropped the bomb there were a lot of angry words between them. My source tells me Simon wants Beyonce and Mariah Carey to judge the show next season. Paula loved doing the show and never thought Simon would let her go again. This makes twice that he’s booted her from the judging chair – once on Idol and now X Factor – not sure if she’s going to trust him again moving forward.

Ashton Kutcher did not rush to Demi Moore’s house after he returned from Brazil. He’s inquired about her through her friends, managers, and of course her daughters, but he hasn’t seen her. The last time he saw her was actually a week before she was rushed to the hospital after collapsing in her home. He only went to her place to pick up something of his. My source tells me that their relationship was incredibly strained before they separated. In fact I’ve heard that Ashton was acting as the primary parent to Demi’s two youngest daughters, Scout and Tallulah because Demi was so out of control. Now we’ve heard tidbits here and there about how much Demi was partying before she collapsed. We’ve also heard about how she was hitting on men much younger than her. Apparently she forced herself into Rumer’s social circle and made a beeline for Zac Efron. Zac and Demi’s oldest daughter, Rumer are good friends. I guess Demi managed to get Zac’s cell number from him and after that she starting calling and texting him a lot. He was not and is not interested. He finds Demi to be kind of creepy. As Demi approaches 50 she’s surrounding herself with young people to try and make herself feel better. Apparently it’s not working.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have yet to admit they’re broken up, but my source tells me Will is living in Philadelphia with 13-year-old Jaden while Jada is in L.A. with 11-year-old Willow. My source says, quote, "They haven't spent any time as a whole family in months."

In the new issue of Harper's Bazaar, Gwyneth Paltrow says, quote, "I had a boyfriend who used to cheat on me all the time. I was quite naive. I knew on a cellular level, but I bought his story." Before her current husband, Coldplay front man, Chris Martin, Gwyneth dated other famous guys like Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck! So was it one of them who cheated on her?! She didn’t say… What she did say was that she was not happy in her 20’s, which was when she dated Brad and Ben. She was with Brad from 1994 to 1997 and Ben from 1997 to 2000. Elsewhere in the interview, Gwyneth said she's been saving all her clothes for her daughter Apple and so she assumed Apple would ironically turn out to be, quote, "a really cool butch lesbian [who is] so above clothes." But that's not what happened. Gwyneth said, quote, "I got a very clothes-obsessed child. So if she's a lesbian, she's a lipstick lesbian. She doesn't like anything avant-garde at all. She likes anything that's pretty, pretty, pretty or has a bow or a ruffle or is pink."

Remember Home Improvement? Remember the actor who played the youngest of the three boys, Mark? His name is Taran Noah Smith, he’s 27 years old now and yesterday, he was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession in Los Angeles. Police pulled over Taran's 1998 Accord at around 1:00 A.M. Wednesday morning. When they questioned him, they noticed a certain sweet, intoxicating smell emanating from the vehicle. They gave him a field sobriety test, which he failed. Cops searched the car and found hash. As of last night, Taran was still in custody with bail set at $10,000. Taran retired from showbiz in 1999, the year "Home Improvement" went off the air. In 2001 he sued his parents for squandering the money he made from the show and WON. In 2005, he started a company that makes vegan and organic foods.

A website called TheFix.com, which is all about addiction and recovery, has been speaking with Courtney Love for about a year, and they've compiled the results into an e-book, which you can order for a mere three bucks. As you might expect, there's a lot of rambling going on including this gem, quote, "The strange thing is, while the crack screwed me up in a lot of ways, it improved me in certain others. I've never been good with numbers, but when I was on crack I could do math really, really well. I became a [effing] whiz at calculus." Why don’t I believe that?! She also said, "I don't do street drugs anymore. My medications are all legally prescribed by prominent physicians. I'm entirely legal." Being mostly off drugs has had a wonderful side-effect for Courtney. She says, quote, "When I was taking all the drugs, I just felt neutered and dull, like a nun. They helped get rid of all these uncomfortable feelings in my brain. So getting off drugs has made me feel really sexual and tender . . . like a 16 year-old virgin." The book also contains a court statement Courtney's daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, gave in 2009, when she was trying to get a restraining order against her mom. Frances said, quote, "[My mother] has taken drugs for as long as I can remember. She basically exists now on . . . Xanax, Adderall, Sonata and Abilify, sugar and cigarettes. She rarely eats . . . She often falls asleep in her bed while she is smoking, and I am constantly worried that she will start a fire (which she has done at least three times) that will threaten our lives." So sad!

Harry Potter is giving us way too much information. In a recent interview, Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry Potter) said he keeps things harry down there. In describing his nether regions he said, quote, "Not a huge amount of maintenance going on. I mean, there's a little bit, obviously, for courtesy." Describing what he likes in a woman, he said, quote, "This is way too much information, but I don't like girls with nothing down there either. It freaks me out. You have to have something, otherwise it's [effing] creepy."

Speaking of sex… Apparently Kim Kardashian refused to have sex with Kris Humphries after they got married. My source tells me she hardly even wanted to kiss him after saying ‘I do’. Kris apparently tried to be romantic with her, but she would push him away or avoid him. Kris continues to feel totally used. He believes more every day that she only married him for the sake of publicity. Meanwhile people are speculating that Kim recently ripped Kris on Twitter when she quoted a Kanye West song and wrote, "Wasn’t I good king? Maybe 2 much of a good thing? … I gave u loyalty, made u royalty & royalties!" Kim also recently Tweeted pics of herself in bras from the Kardashian Kollection lingerie line. That happened just two days after she Tweeted, quote, "I want to start a bible study group with my friends!" Bible study in your lingerie anyone?

Justin Bieber's dad Jeremy reportedly beat his own nephew outside a bar for suggesting that he just lives off his son's success. Jeremy, who's 37-years-old, was drinking at a bar in Ontario with his 20-year-old nephew Tylor. For whatever reason, Tylor started razzing Jeremy, saying he, quote, "wouldn't be anything if it weren't for Justin." Jeremy went off. My source says Jeremy started pushing Tylor in the chest and screaming at him. Tylor tried to do the smart thing and leave, but Jeremy allegedly followed him outside, grabbed him by his coat and punched him repeatedly in the face. Tylor took off running and Jeremy went back into the bar. Apparently when he strolled back into the bar he bought a drink for everyone there and starting playing pool like nothing happened.

Is Lindsay Lohan still doing drugs? It seems like she’s been on her best behaviour lately, but she was reportedly high Sunday night at the Chateau Marmont. My witness says Lindsay was spotted coming out of the bathroom numerous times with a guy friend. The two of them were giggling and Lindsay’s nose apparently looked red. Witnesses say her eyes were glassy and her pupils were constricted. She was only drinking water so everyone’s saying she must have been on coke. Lindsay’s rep is jumping to her defence saying, quote, "This is yet another example of people making erroneous assumptions about Lindsay." Lindsay is actually living at the Chateau Marmont right now, because she moved out of her place in Venice Beach. All her stuff is going into storage until she gets a new home.

Meanwhile, George Clooney has come to Demi's defence saying her 911 call shouldn't have been released. He said, quote, "I think it's a stupid thing. I think it's stupid for anyone, whether they're celebrated or not, I don't believe their 911 call should be broadcast around the world, but that's my opinion." He added, quote, "It's always very troubling when people you know and people who you care about end up going through a difficult time."

Elton John was being interviewed on Good Morning America and was asked if he had any advice for Madonna regarding her halftime show at the Super Bowl this Sunday. He said, quote, "Make sure you lip-sync good." Elton has never done a Super Bowl halftime show, and he said he wouldn't because, quote, "I've never seen a decent one. Never ever." However, later he said the Rolling Stones performance and the Prince performance were pretty good. He also admitted that it is difficult to perform live at the Super Bowl… I guess it has something to do with the echo in the stadium. Now Elton will be seen by some during the Super Bowl telecast… he’s starting in a Pepsi commercial which also features "X Factor" winner Melanie Amaro.

Jersey Shore fans, you can sleep easy, it looks like a 6th and 7th season are in the works! They are currently scouting out more exotic locales outside the Garden State. Both Las Vegas and Australia have been floated as possible locations for upcoming seasons of the MTV "reality" show. One of the shows stars, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, admits that he doesn’t know if the cast would make it back from Vegas, but he thinks they’d all like to give it a try!
