Mother of Bethenny Frankel to Daughter: LIAR!

Bethenny Frankel has described her childhood as marred by alcohol, violence and eating disorders. She's uses this background to garner sympathy from the public.
There's just one problem, according to the reality TV star's mother: most of it isn't true.

In an interview with Radar Online, Bernadette Birk says: "She did not come from a broken home  and her father did not leave her at four years old. I left her father when she was two years old and he did not support us with one penny, no alimony."
Birk admits to being "sick" over Bethenny's lies and adds:
"She went to visit her father for the first time at 15 years old. It was the same time she is now claiming she started drinking and doing drugs. I was never aware she was doing this. Even though she is bad mouthing her father she was always after his affection."
When was the last time Birk saw Frankel? 10 years ago, "when she borrowed my car and then demolished it and she left it in her boyfriend's lot and it got stripped. I called her to tell her and she started yelling at me and hung up... we have never spoken since."
This isn't the first time Bethenny's mom has called out her child for misleading fans. Is it possible to even take a side in this feud? Or can we consider them both losers?

JWoww Forced Out of Jersey Shore Spinoff?

Rumors surrounding a Jersey Shore spinoff continue to surface, with the latest being that JWoww (Jenni Farley) has been given the boot from an all-new series that was supposed to co-star herself and Snooki (Nicole Polizzi).
According to Us Weekly, MTV prefers the Princess of Poughkeepsie solo.

DYNAMIC DUO: MTV reportedly prefers the smaller, orange half.

Executives think focusing on Snooki will be a bigger hit, so they pushed JWoww out," an insider says, although MTV refused comment on all things Jersey Shore.
The Snooki dating show rumor has also been shot down by the orange one herself, but that may be contractual, or the show may not be about just dating.
Snook is reportedly seeing Jionni LaValle now, which may play into the plans to find love on TV too. Who knows. Regardless, she's got a lot on her plate.
She's writing a book - tentatively titled A Shore Thing - hitting stores in January. She promises that it "will have you falling in love at the shore." Sure thing.
The self-styled "guidette" also is working on hair products, and currently commands up to $20,000 to walk an event’s red carpet, according to reports.
No word if that fee includes muff cabbage.

What a Girl Wants: Christina Aguilera Files for Divorce

So much for naked Sundays.
Despite the inclusion of this event in the lives of Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman, the couple is splitting up. Two days after their separation went public, the singer has cited "irreconcilable differences" and filed for divorce from her husband of six years.

The couple reportedly signed a prenuptial agreement, as the divorce petition reads: "Earnings and accumulations of [Aguilera] before marriage, during marriage and from and after the date of separation" will be considered separate property.

Aguilera is seeking joint physical and legal custody of the couple's two-year old son Max. In her statement this week, the singer wrote:

"Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever."

Courteney Cox "In Love" with Mysterious Cougar Town Co-Star, Source Claims

Newly separated from David Arquette, Courteney Cox can finally express her love for a certain Cougar Town co-star.
Not Brian Van Holt, with whom she was rumored to be having an affair. But... someone else, sources tell Radar Online.
"She is in love with this man, almost besotted," says an anonymous source about an anonymous actor. "He seems to be providing something that David didn't during the marriage. They've been secretly dating for some time."

Who is this man? The insider would only say he is younger than Cox, which lends credence to this theory: perhaps the tabloids were simply one Friends star away from being correct when they linked Josh Hopkins to Jennifer Anistion.

Could Cox be dating the same man in real life as her character is dating on Cougar Town? If this unnamed source is reliable, it's possible.
