Michael Phelps is no dummy.

He knows he is at the high point in his life for getting laid. Although I think he’d have an even better chance if he lost the shirt. No one wants to stare at his fug mug. You know the stripper bitches are thinking, give us the abs, Michael! Gah! Oh yeah, and the money.

Anyhow, these photos were taken by RADAR staff writer Neel Shah who caught the Olympian getting handsy with women at the Playboy Club.  Phelps had a goon on hand to shine a flashlight into anyone’s face who tried to get a shot, but Neel succeeded.  Yay Neel.

I knew it was all a sham.

If you remember when Britney Spears first popped onto the scene, she was cute and so naive, and she was everywhere.  Her management obviously tried to paint this ‘perfect American teenager’ image to the public, and they made Britney play the role.

She claimed to be a virgin for like, ever.  Even when she was with Justin Timberlake she claimed to be one.  Anyhow, we were right.  Britney did what other teenagers do, she grew up.  And fast.  But like many child stars, the pressures of ‘being perfect’ took their toll and it obviously had an effect on her.

Sadly, her mother decided to write a book (The Storm: A Real Tale Of Fame And Family In A Tabloid World) about it and put her daughter’s skeleton’s on display.  So like a stage mom, isn’t it?

Lynne claims that Brit started drinking at the tender age of 13, not long after leaving the Mickey Mouse Club.  She also says that her daughter lost her virginity at 14 to some random 18-year-old high school football player, and by 15 Britney was into drugs.

After Lynne caught Britney drinking she says she allowed her to drink as long as she did it at home.

She says while Britney was with Justin she allowed him to sleep in Britney’s bed whenever coming over - because she thought her daughter was in love and that JT was good for her.

She also dishes that Brit was caught boarding a private plane with cocaine and pot when she was only 16.

Lynne claims she is now sorry for the way Britney was exploited but she doesn’t claim to have had any part in it.  She blames it solely on Britney’s management, who controlled her life and sexualized her.

It’s amazing to me that Lynne is trying to wipe her hands of everything in this book.  Oh yeah, and don’t forget she’s selling her daughter out at the same time.  It’s sad.

Was it the money?  The attention?  What makes a parent do that to their child?  Basically give up your parental rights and hand your kid over to Hollywood, and it’s not your fault for letting it happen?  Does she realize what a fool she looks like?

Egad.

David Duchovny has voluntarily entered rehab for a sexual addiction.

Duchovny, 48, said in a statement,

“I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”

The X-Files star married Téa Leoni in 1997 and the couple have two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6.

You have to wonder what prompted this!  I have a hunch Mr. Duchovny indulged in a little forbidden poon and got caught.  Téa, who is absolutely gorgeous, probably gave him the ultimatum - rehab or I’m leaving.

She has since canceled her appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival where she was set to promote her new film, Ghost Town.

Time will tell if this couple will be able to survive this very sensitive, yet very public, issue.

Although it was well known that Faith Evans‘ husband, Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G., had numerous affairs, Faith never really talked about her struggles with her husband’s infidelities, until now.

Evans, 35, admits that she used to take her frustrations out on the women her husband slept with by assaulting them.

In her new autobiography, Keep The Faith, she admits that one of those women was rap star Lil’ Kim.

She says that one day after a huge fight with her husband, she returned home and found Biggie and Kim together.

“I got to Big’s bedroom door, turned the knob, and went inside. As soon as I saw a small lump next to Big’s large frame, I flew into a rage, ran over to the side of the bed, and pulled back the covers. I grabbed some chick out of the bed and started beating her ass.  I stopped throwing punches for a minute to get a good look at the chick I was beating up. It was Lil’ Kim. She was completely butt-naked, yelling as I pushed her around the room.”

Kim was promptly escorted from the couple’s home, doing some damage to Faith’s car on her way out.

Faith adds,

“I have to say I actually felt some pity for Kim. Big had a wife, and she settled for messing with him. Kim still settled for being the other woman. It seemed pretty sad to settle for that.”

That’s funny.  Doesn’t Tupac, Biggie’s archenemy, claim to have stuck it to Faith in his song, “Hit ‘Em Up”?  Yes.  Yes, he does.  Pot meet kettle.

The most popular male porn star in the world, Ron Jeremy, chats it up with TIME magazine in a new interview about his crazy life.

Jeremy talks about how he got into the porn industry, what it was like and how it has affected his relationships.  Great read!

TIME: How did you get your start in the porn industry?

Ron Jeremy: Like many Jewish boys, I was working up in the Catskills, as a waiter and the maitre d’ at the Paramount Hotel. I was doing theater, and it was a very difficult situation, especially in New York, where you couldn’t be an extra unless you were part of the Screen Actors Guild. I was making no money. We agreed — my girlfriend Alice and I — to take some pictures in the deluxe wing of the Paramount. We knew women could do Playboy and that might lead to a career in theater, film. I thought I would try it out and at least get some kind of exposure, pardon the pun. So my girlfriend took the photographs and sent them to Playgirl. I thought maybe they would agree to bring me to L.A. for a layout, and while I’m in L.A. I’ll try to get some work in Hollywood. Then Playgirl called and they said we have good news and bad news. The bad news is they weren’t going to fly me anywhere. The good news is that they were going to use the pictures we had taken.

How did the public respond to the photos?

I had used my real name: Ron Hyatt, from Queens, New York; likes to go hang gliding and sailing when he gets the chance, and working on his master’s degree in special education. A lot of people looked up R. Hyatt in Queens, New York, but they were getting my grandmother, Rose Hyatt, who lived downstairs. My poor grandmother was being woken up night and day, mostly by guys. Playgirl likes to think that their audience is mostly women, but no, no, the majority is gay. My poor grandma had to move. Then my dad sat me down and said, “I don’t know what cockamamie business you are getting into. You want to do something, fine, you’re an adult, but don’t you ever use the family name again.” So I used my middle name, which is Jeremy.

What was your path to the porn industry?

I quit teaching because I was making no money. After Playgirl I went to see a filmmaker I knew. Joe said he only did adult movies, so I said that’s kind of sleazy. Then I did theater for a few months and starved. So I went back to Joe and thought, it’s not so bad. I asked my family what they thought and they said, [we] aren’t crazy about the idea but if you really want to do this go ahead, if you think it may be a shortcut to the mainstream. So Joe put me in my first adult film, Tigresses and Other Man-eaters. I spent an hour in makeup and they never once saw my face.

Were you embarrassed during the filming?

Yes, a little. There were some professionals there who had done it for a while. I wasn’t getting the liftoff as quickly as they did. It was embarrassing. It’s funny because now, years later when I am not taking Viagra and the other guy does, I am still slow to the punch. I am the slow man on the totem pole. It was embarrassing because I was not used to being nude and having sex in a room full of people.

You have to love this family. Seriously!

Matthew McConaughey’s mother, Kay McConaughey, is coming out with a new book that tells her family story.

I Amaze Myself is full of off-the-wall stories about the McConaugheys, and Kay doesn’t hold back when telling them. The woman certainly has a sense of humor and now we know where her son gets it.

In the book, Kay tells of Matthew’s father’s death. He died the way any man on this earth would love to go. While having sex with his wife!

Kay tells Us Weekly,

“On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love. But one day, all of a sudden, it just happened. I knew that something was wrong, because I didn’t hear anything from him. Just nothing. But it was just the best way to go!”

Amen, sister!  Hooray for Jim!

It seems Kay was a real horn dog for her man - and his penis!   When her husband, Jim, could not be revived, she sent him out of this world like he came into it. In the nude.

“I was just so proud to show off my big old Jim McConaughey — and his gift,” she says.

Yeah, I’m sure the paramedics were thrilled to check his gift out! Ha!  That explains that HUGE bulge in Matthew’s shorts, bitches!

Keeping with the sex theme, Kay also dished that her gorgeous son was no accident. She had Matthew after marrying Jim for the third time.

“I was deciding, ‘Do I want to have another baby? Do I want to have an affair? Or go back to school?. That’s when Matthew was conceived. We had tried for 16 years and no baby. So Matthew was a big surprise!”

Well, it’s certainly no surprise where Matthew gets his honest, off-the-wall quirkiness!  Personally, I think it’s hot.  No snobby Hollywood family here!

Sounds like I have a new book on my ‘to read’ list!

Check out more of the book at:  IAmazeMyself.com.

Verne Troyer was completely blindsided by his ex-girlfriend, Ranae Shrider, who leaked the couple’s sex tape to the media.

Verne is finally coming forward to explain his side of the story and to tell us a little more about the woman who could have sabotaged his career.

Q. How are you doing?
VT: “It’s hard right now. I’m avoiding the public right now because I don’t know what somebody’s going to say, or say to me, or anything like that. Unfortunately, I haven’t done anything except stay in my house right now.”

Q. What kind of support network do you have? Do you have people who are calling and checking up on you?
VT: “I have family, friends. You know, I have a lot of people here. It’s just, even if I go out with them, I’m still afraid of what somebody’s going to come up and say. So I’ve just been keeping it very low key.”

Q. Tell us how you feel about your privacy being invaded.
VT: “First off, the fact that I could be so close with somebody and then for them to do this, almost casually … that’s the biggest thing that gets me. Also, yeah, it is my privacy. It’s my private life, and it’s not meant for the public to see. That’s my life. So, it’s just been hard.”

Q. How did you guys meet?
VT: “We me at the Playboy mansion. (Laughs) It was a little less than a year ago. It’s been only like seven months ago. It was a New Year’s Eve party.”

Q. Was it hot and passionate right away?
VT: “It was slow. I was off working. I was in London doing The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, so I was busy in the beginning of our relationship. It was mostly just phone conversations and things.”

Q. What attracted you to her?
VT: “She seemed like she was normal. I don’t know if I can stress ‘seemed.’ She seemed like a great person. I felt comfortable around her. I felt like I could really just be myself and not have to pretend.”

Q. Was she easy to talk to?
VT: “Yeah. Easy to talk to and easy to hangout with. It was just easy. Next time I know: If it’s too easy, then I will know something’s wrong.” (Laughs)

Q. Whose decision was it to do a sex tape?
VT: “It was basically both of our decisions. We both equally said, ‘Let’s do this.’ She came up with the idea and at the time, I thought it was great.”

Q. So she came to you, and you didn’t think anything of it?
VT: “I never thought it would get out to anybody besides us. In my wildest dreams, I never would have thought that she would’ve done anything like this.”

Q. “Did she give you the tape? How much trust did you put in her with this tape?
VT: “I put all the trust in her. She had the tape. Actually, she had the tape in her camera, which was on top of the closet where I couldn’t even touch it. I don’t have a copy. I just thought it was for us.”

Q. She admits to leaking some of the tape. How do you feel?
VT: “I feel vindicated that people know that it is her, but it doesn’t help how I feel as far as somebody that was in my life, doing that to me.

Q. How did you hear the footage was out there?
VT: “We had just broken up. I was in New York doing a press junket for Love Guru at the time. She called up, hysterical, and said the paparazzi approached her outside our front door and just showed little pictures of us from the videotape, and I believed her. Then as the stories kept going, it just got to be too ridiculous, and I knew that if she didn’t do it, she had something to do with it.”

Q. “Do you feel like she used this as a way to get famous?
VT: “It’s really funny because when I was with her, she wanted to be an actress, but she said that she didn’t want to be famous. I want to ask her now, ‘So are you now a ’serious actress’ with a sex tape?”

Q. So was the breakup mutual?
VT: “No, I broke up with her.”

Q. Can you talk about why?
VT: “Yeah, she couldn’t trust me and wouldn’t trust me.”

Q. She thought you were cheating on her.
VT: “Yeah, which I never did. It just got to the point where I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to be able to be me, and she wouldn’t believe anything I said so, there was no way I could’ve stayed in that relationship.”

Q. How did she react?
VT: “She was very upset, and I never thought in my wildest dreams that she’d be so upset as far as taking the tape and giving it to the public. But she was upset — I guess like anybody would be after a breakup. For me, it wasn’t that hard because I knew it couldn’t work.

Q. Did you love her?
VT: “When I broke up with her, no.”

Q. Did you love her at any point in the relationship?
VT: “I did at some point in time. I thought I could spend my life with her, but that was in the very early part of the relationship.”

Q. How do you feel about her now?
VT: “Hate is actually a good word. I just very much dislike her right now and the really sad part is, I have a house and she’s still renting out one of the rooms in the house, so I still see her, which makes it even harder.”

Q. How do you deal with that?
VT: “I don’t acknowledge her. Truthfully, I don’t really see her that often. I have my own room, and I have everything that I need in my room. I just don’t see her, which is good.”

Q. Can you get her evicted?
VT: “I’m in the process of seeing what I can do. She won’t leave.”

Q. As a famous person, is there always that concern that anybody you date is going to try use to further their career?
VT: “Of course, it crosses my mind. You know, I know right now I don’t want to date another girl for the rest of my life. I know that will change later, but at this point in time, I can’t trust anybody to have a relationship with, even a new friendship at this point.”

Q. If you date again, it will probably be somebody outside the industry?
VT: “I hope so.”
