Brittny Gastineau Confirms She Is Not Dating Michael Phelps

Brittny Gastineau, a Los Angeles socialite and reality star, confirms she is not dating Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps and denied reports that suggested she may be pregnant.

OnTheRedCarpet.com had last month squashed rumors of a romance between the two, quoting a source close to the matter as saying that Phelps was still together with Miss California, Nicole Johnson. At the time, an online video posted by TMZ had shown Gastineau getting into a vehicle with a man who appeared to be Phelps.

"I'm too busy to date anyone because I'm working so hard on my jewelry line," Gastineau, 28, told People magazine recently, referring to her Tres Glam Jewelry collection.

Phelps, 25, has reportedly been together with Johnson since at least the summer, when they were photographed in Hawaii together. The source said the two have dated on and off for several years.

Gastineau, appeared on the E! reality series "Gastineau Girls" with her mother in 2005 and is also known as a friend of reality star Kim Kardashian.

Gastineau shot down recent reports that said she recently bought a home pregnancy test, telling People: "It would be great to be pregnant at the same time as my BFF Kim. We're both single!"

Kim Kardashian And Gabriel Aubry Call It Quits

That was fast. After just a few weeks of nurturing their romance, Kim Kardashian and Gabriel Aubry have called it quits, according to reports.

So what happened? Well, take your pick. This is where things get a little muddled.

According to E! Online, the burgeoning romance came to a screeching halt because Aubry’s ex Halle Berry did not approve of his new hook-up, and she made her feelings known. Well really!

“It was just too much to handle for Kim,” the source tells E!. “She [Kardashian] realised very quickly they were better off as friends.”

While over at Usmagazine.com, they quote a source as saying the romance “was moving too fast,” and they realised they’d be “better off as friends.”

Life & Style gets top marks though for ‘exclusively’ revealing that the romance hit the skids because…“Kim feels like Gabriel was just using her for her fame.”

Plus, at the ripe old age of 34, Gabriel “is older than Kim is looking for.” Kardashian is 30.

But while the tabs have their different takes on why the romance died, they all agree that Kardashian has already moved on.

Word is she’s set her sights on New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries.

Angelina Jolie Took Manners Classes For 'Tourist'

Angelina Jolie plays a refined British woman named Elise Ward in her new flick The Tourist, and to prepare for the role Angie says she took "manners classes!" She says she just wanted to learn how to slow down and have more poise -- it's not like she's a big slob or anything.

She said: "I'm not completely clumsy or gross, but the character takes her time with everything. I'm an American! I do 10 things before breakfast."

Angelina also spoke of her hopes for the futures of her children - Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 4, and 2-year-old Knox and Vivienne – and how she wants them to look back on their childhoods.

 Speaking on The Today Show, she said: "Hopefully they are happy, and they know that they were loved, and that they were encouraged to be who they are, and not pushed into something that they're not. Hopefully they'll be the strong, beautiful individuals that they are today, and be happy in their lives, be fulfilled in their lives, and be living their lives honestly.”

The 35-year-old beauty admitted she can’t understand why so many people are fascinated by her but is hopeful interest in her will fade as she gets older. She said: "I don't find myself that interesting in that way. But I feel like it happens to everybody.

It's just that it's a weird time right now. There's just so much of all of that, for everybody. It's just, it's a new world. I just assume the older I get, the more it'll go away. The more private I'll become."

Carrie Underwood Sweeps American Country Awards 2010

Carrie Underwood took home Artist of the Year and five other categories during last night’s new American Country Awards on Fox. Unlike the ACM and CMA awards shows, this one is voted on by the public.

And Underwood fans sure know how to vote! Her other victories: Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for Play On, Single by a Female artist for “Cowboy Casanova”, Video by a Female Artist for “Cowboy Casanova” and Touring Artist of the Year.

“We have had the most amazing year out on the road,” Underwood said in her acceptance speech.

“Of course, we wouldn’t be doing anything if it weren’t for the people sitting out there in that audience, so to everyone that came out to see us and anybody else out here — you guys are awesome.”

Do we really need a fourth major country music award, on top of the American Music Awards and the Grammys? Not really. We’ll see how the ratings did last night and that will tell us if Fox will try this again.

Eva Longoria Appeared 'defeated' On A Recent Night Out Wth Friends

The 'Desperate Housewives' actress Eva Longoria who is in the process of divorcing husband Tony Parker  appeared 'defeated' on a recent night out with friends.

Eva Longoria was surrounded by dozens of pals at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont on Saturday, and though she put on a brave face, she couldn't hide her sadness.

'She wasn't her feisty little self. If I could describe her energy in one word, I would say 'defeated,' One onlooker said.

'Eva was smiling and even laughing at times, but it was so apparent that underneath it all she was sad and hurt. It was very obvious. 'She had a grin on her face, but every so often she would stare off into space and looked very sad and sombre.'

Despite her sadness, Eva and Tony - who married in July 2007 - are attempting to keep their divorce civil and were even spotted having lunch together last week, with pals saying they met to 'work out the details' of their split.

It was recently claimed that the 35-year-old star's close pal Victoria Beckham had urged all their friends to rally round and support the actress through her heartbreak.

A source said: 'Victoria has rounded all the girl troops in their inner clique so they can have some girly time and relax. She has given her some sexy VB dresses to cheer her up and is planning a night out for Eva with all their celeb friends.' - Bang Showbiz

Katy Perry Has Been Getting Styling Tips From Russell Brand

Russell Brand the comic actor who married the ‘Firework’ hitmaker in India in October encourages his wife to show off her curvy figure and is particularly keen on helping select her stage outfits.

A source told: "Russell is very hands-on with all Katy's dresses and loves giving his opinions. "He always tells her to show off what God has given her.

"Russell now really gets involved with what Katy wears. He gets a buzz helping with those decisions." Russell, 35, has previously admitted that he and Katy, 26, have an influence on one another’s wardrobes.

He said: "I would like to endorse that idea. I think I've started to wear more colours and she's started to go darker. She's started to dress less like a pantomime character and is a bit more sexy a bit grown up."

Though the ‘Get Him to the Greek’ star loves styling his wife, he has previously claimed he never finds shopping for himself very fulfilling.

He said: "My look is a collision between bondage, 70s rock 'n' roll and a gentleman at the Henley Regatta. I don't go shopping much because I find it hard to commit to an object. Will I ever wear these? Then I question the value of consuming, trying to make yourself feel better just by buying a pair of shoes. I think, 'Will I feel better after I've bought these shoes? Or will I just be me...in some shoes.' "
