What may have started years ago in a Hollywood has come crashing to the ground in Colorado.
In a press conference earlier today, Sheriff Jim Alderden of Larimer County has confirmed that the balloon event from Thursday was indeed a hoax. “We have evidence at this point to indicate that it was a publicity stunt, done with the hopes of marketing themselves - or better marketing themselves - for a reality television show at some point in the future.”
This statement comes just two days after the police (intentionally) led the media into believing that they had bought the Heene family’s story. In fact, the former Wife Swap subjects had been under increased scrutiny by the media - and the authorities - after Falcon’s blunder during an interview with Wolf Blitzer.

Sharon Osbourne Schools a Charm Contestant
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, Gossip, Rumors,
Police are officially investigating an incident which occurred on the set of VH1’s Rock of Love Charm School. According to reports, host Sharon Osbourne has been accused of attacking one of the contestants on the show.
That’s not very charming.
A police spokesman had this to say: “We know a battery incident is alleged to have occurred on a taping of a reality show Sharon Osbourne hosts.” Do tell!
So far, there’s no confirmation whether or not a police report has been filed, and reps for Osbourne aren’t commenting on the incident.
The kafuffle is said to have occurred between Osbourne and contestant Megan Hauserman, 26. Evidently, the contestant called Osbourne’s husband, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, a “brain-dead rock star” while on camera. Hauserman was booted from the show early on, but returned for a reunion special.
Strangely enough, Hauserman was expelled from the house for kicking a fellow contestant. Upon booting her, Osbourne said “the one thing I cannot stand is violence.”

Britney Spears to Receive Mental Evaluation
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, News,
It only took three days into the New Year for Britney to take back the spotlight from pregnant Jamie Lynn.
Earlier Thursday, the elder Spears finally decided to show up for a scheduled deposition with Kevin Federline’s lawyers. (Keep in mind, she had somehow managed to skip out on a million of these appointments prior to today.) After arriving approximately 90 minutes late, she left 15 minutes later. It seems she didn’t like how she was being treated.
Now fast forward a few hours….
As of 11:45pm PT, there is a large police and medic presence outside the Spears home in Beverly Hills. Apparently the authorities were called to the house around 8pm when Britney failed to comply with her parental visitation guidelines. (Kevin Federline’s bodyguards tried to pick up her two boys - Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1 - as scheduled with no luck.)
After several hours of trying to resolve the matter “peacefully”, TMZ and Perez Hilton now are reporting that Britney has been taken away on a gurney for a mental evaluation. This decision came after the police reportedly found her under the influence of some unknown substance.
Meanwhile, both boys are apparently safe and back with their father.
Be expecting more to come..

UPDATE: ‘One Life to Live’ Star Fired
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, ABC, News,
As a follow to his arrest in October, actor Nathaniel Marston has now been fired from his job on One Life to Live. The 32-year-old soap opera star was detained last month after attacking three men with a crate in New York. Nathaniel, who police believe was under the influence of a narcotic, was transferred to a local hospital after the incident and listed as ‘emotionally unstable’.
Marston, who played Dr. Michael McBain on the daytime show, was involved in a large storyline at the time of his arrest. It is believed ABC and One Life to Live will now work on recasting his role.

‘Top Chef’ Star Victim of Anti-Gay Violence
The Labor Day Weekend was unfortunately not a festive one for a former Top Chef contestant. Josie Smith-Malave, the 4th person eliminated last season, claims that she and several of her friends were victims of an anti-gay assault after a birthday celebration earlier this month.
The gals had been partying at Partners Bar in Sea Cliff, NY but were asked to leave when two of the ladies starting ‘dancing together’. (Seriously…‘Partners’ isn’t the name of a gay bar?) As they headed out, a large group followed them outside. From there, the suspects reportedly spat, hurled homophobic insults, threw garbage and started beating on the women. Josie, who is openly gay, says her straight sister was one of the victims. Although the ladies were bruised up, no serious injuries were reported.
Police were called to the scene and are still investigating the incident. Although a few of the accused assailants were still present when officers arrived, no arrests have yet been made.
The current season of Top Chef can still be seen on Wednesdays @ 10pm on Bravo.
UPDATE: Police have since arrested one person related to this incident. Matthew Walli, 20, has been charged with ‘second-degree robbery as a bias crime’ (he had stolen Smith-Malave’s camera). More arrests may still come.
