As soon as the words came out of Gerard's mouth, he regretted them. Corey Feldman defends Corey Haim. Jessica Simpson misses Tony Romo's "cute butt." Pattinson used to get beat up all the time. Thursday's gossip roundup has no filter.

  • Gerard Butler has a dirty sense of humor and a strong sense of regret. He told Men's Health, "Over Christmas [Jennifer Aniston] had a tree-trimming party that I went to. Yeah, I trimmed her bush." When he realized that quote would end up splashed all over the internet (including here!) he backtracked: "Shit. Please don't put that in." Too late. He also talks about how often he gets action ("less now than I used to") and his weaknesses ("one of my vices is, I'm too wrapped up in myself"). [Celebitchy]
  • Corey Feldman visited Corey Haim's mother, then went on Larry King Live to urge people to "stop jumping the gun" on Haim's cause of death until the coroner's report comes out. Feldman called Haim his "best friend" and described a "long and detailed drug history," but noted Haim was "in the best frame of mind that he's ever been in" before his death. [TMZ] [TMZ]
  • Sometime in the last ten days, Celebrity Rehab scouted Corey Haim, who replied, "It's the last show I'd ever do" and "I do not need help." Which means Dr. Drew will probably have yet another festival of sleazy TV appearances. [TMZ]
  • An "ironic twist of fate" reveals that Corey Haim was fired from a movie starring Andrew Koenig in 2008. Conspiracy theorists, what you got? [TMZ]
  • Jessica Simpson on ex-boyfriend and NFL star Tony Romo: "I still look at his cute butt in the outfit—uniform." They're on good terms. [People]
  • Tinsley Mortimer's socialite reality show High Society premiered last night, and Tinsley's sister-in-law, designer Minnie Mortimer Gaghan, is just mortified. Tinsley is separated from husband Topper and the Mortimers apparently hate her. Minnie, who once named a dress after Tinsley, responded to question about the Tinz with "The Tinsley dress? That was my first season. Yeah. That was a year ago." Last year's fashion: The ultimate diss. Minnie's publicist frantically tried to scrub the comment from her interview, but got it amplified into a gossip item instead, because journos hate being told what they can or can't write. [P6]
  • Robert Pattinson: "I was beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger. ... It was after I first started acting and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me." Sounds about right. [Parade]
  • Kate Gosselin is having her $7000, 20-hour extensions removed and will spend a blissful 24 hours in her natural, backwards-mulleted state, before returning to the blonde prison of another set of extensions, so she will look beautiful for the Dancing with the Stars premiere. [NYDN]
  • "If for one second Kate think she is going to get voted off [Dancing with the Stars], expect eight little faces to be sitting on the front row cheering for mommy." I'm starting to love this woman's shamelessness. [NBN second item]
  • Michael Lohan ex Erin Muller says she found a GPS tracking device attached to her car, and she thinks Michael (whom she has accused of brutal abuses) put it there. Lohan says she's "full of crap." Either way, this whole fiasco is beyond the pale. [TMZ]
  • "Jersey Shore in Miami Beach is a done deal." To think, but one year ago that sentence would have been a paradox. They start shooting next week. [MiamiHerald] [P6
