Though she's no longer driving, Amanda Bynes is still making headlines for her weird behavior. TMZ reports Bynes, whose license was suspended last week, locked herself in a West Hollywood boutique dressing room for nearly two hours. Store employees were reportedly concerned about her and thought she was doing drugs in the dressing room. "I was so worried about her. I didn't know what she was doing in [the dressing room]," said one employee. "I didn't know if she was overdosing, or doing drugs or what." While some say that with the alleged drug use and weird antics (including talking to inanimate objects), Bynes is losing it, the actress said she's not having a meltdown and she doesn't need a Britney Spears-type conservatorship. But maybe Bynes is learning. Monday night she was seen at a Starbucks instead of a nightclub and instead of driving home, she used a chauffeur. Good for her.

Anderson Cooper confirmed what most have suspected — that the CNN news anchor is gay. For years Cooper dodged questions about his sexuality. Cooper came out in a letter to friend Andrew Sullivan, a writer for The Daily Beast.
The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
Earlier this year, Cooper was ranked number six in Out Magazine's Power List, despite not publicly acknowledging his sexual orientation. As The Wrap points out, Cooper's announcement makes him the only openly gay news anchor on television.

Alec Baldwin really hates tabloids and the paparazzi. If his recent run-ins with photogs didn't convince you of that then maybe what he told Vanity Fair what he wants to do to TMZ boss Harvey Levin will.
Baldwin told the magazine: I wanted to stick a knife in him and gut him and kill him and I wanted him to die breathing his last breath looking into my eyes.
It was TMZ that leaked the 2007 voice mail Baldwin left to his then-11-year-old daughter, calling her a pig.
But maybe marriage will change the actor. Just days after tying the knot, Baldwin deactivated his Twitter account, signing off with the message, "It's been fun."

Happy birthday to Lindsay Lohan, who turns 26 today. The actress celebrated her birthday early over the weekend partying at the West Hollywood nightclub, but sources say Lohan partied sober. "There was a ton of alcohol at Lindsay's table, however she didn't appear to be drinking," said a witness. Could it be that Lohan has found wisdom with age?!

Regular rehab resident Kelly Osbourne spoke out about recently getting drunk on a plane. In an interview with RadarOnline.com, Osbourne, who has been to rehab four times, admits she's a hypocrite. “People always want you to be the pretty little perfect girl next door and I have never been that, so I don’t understand why people have always tried to make me that."

Are Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who recently got engaged, planning to tie the knot this weekend? With rumors swirling about the pending nuptials, Hemsworth might have let the cat out of the bag when he slipped up and accidentally said that the two were already married at a benefit dinner in Australia. “I was fortunate enough to get called back in to read with my now-fiancée, who I recently got engaged to,” Hemsworth told the audience. “And we read together and fell in love and now we’re married," he said before quickly realizing his error, adding, “Well, not married yet but we will be.” A rep for the actor denied that the couple are planning to get married anytime soon but we can't help but think that before long Hemsworth will soon be known as Mr. Cyrus (or would it be Mr. Montana?).

Hope you're sitting down for this next news piece: Snoop Dogg was caught with a small amount of pot at an airport in Norway. The rapper was briefly detained by custom officials after a police dog sniffed out the pot on the Snoop. Police discovered 8 grams of marijuana. Lucky for Snoop, Norway's drug laws aren't as strict as the laws here. Snoop paid an $827 fine for the pot but ended up in more hot water for the amount of cash he had on hand which exceeded the legal limit. An additional fine in the amount of $8,600 was levied on the rapper. Guess the fine takes care of the problem of having too much cash.

Alec Baldwin lost it on another photographer. The actor grabbed the arm of a paparazzo, telling him to "shut the f*ck up, leave my neighbor alone . . . and get outta here." He then called the photog a "little girl." The incident happened a week after Baldwin got into a confrontation with a NYC photog, which police are currently investigating.

Charlie Sheen is going after whoever started the bogus rumor that he recently trashed a hotel room during a drug-fueled meltdown in NYC while with his kids and ex-wife Denise Richards. Sheen told TMZ that he has been so busy promoting his new show, Anger Management, he's had no time to go on a drug-fueled rage. Sheen directed his legal team to find out how to go after the person responsible for planting the story. Hey, the guy needs to protect his image.

The rumors have been swirling for awhile, but Ann Curry just made it official: The journalist will no longer be co-hosting Today. Curry was obviously choked up as she explained that while she will still be a part of the show, she'll have a new title and new position. No longer on the Today show couch, Curry will be traveling around the country and around the world reporting for NBC.

The Biebs is topping the charts once again, but his new album, Believe, has had slower sales than expected. Justin Bieber's album was expected to sell close to 500,000 copies in its first week, but in reality it sold 374,000. That number still gives the album the best first-week sales so far this year, which perhaps says more about the state of the recording industry rather than the enthusiasm of Beliebers.

Looks like Alec Baldwin plans to add kidnap victim to his resume. After his commitments to 30 Rock are over, the actor will star in the Broadway debut of Orphans, says EW. The play follows the story of two orphaned brothers who live in a Philadelphia row house and kidnap a rich, older man.

One former Playboy cover girl has something to say about Jenny McCarthy's new pictorial. Reality star Kendra Wilkinson did not mince words when it came to McCarthy posing at nearly 40 years old for Playboy, and told People, "she looks great." Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend went on to say that "she definitely has it, why not flaunt it?" Apparently you don't have to be catty to be a Playboy bunny.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen may garner praise from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, but the twins also have their detractors. PETA had some not very nice things to say about the sisters and their new patchwork animal fur backpack. According to PETA, "if it looks like a troll and acts like a troll, it's probably a Trollsen Twin—or someone wearing one of their new $16,000 totes." Yikes. For fans who want to look like a "Trollsen" but can't swing a five-figure price tag for a bag, their The Row collection also has the more affordable option of a plain, drawstring backpack for only $3,900. The twins have obviously come a long way from their Kmart days.

Have you seen Alec Baldwin lately? The 30 Rock star has lost a lot of weight — must be his new workout regimen, which apparently includes chasing after paparazzi. On his way from picking up a marriage license in New York City, Baldwin is accused of punching a New York Daily News photographer and then grabbing a second photog. While both men say the attacks were unprovoked, Baldwin took to Twitter to defend himself. "A 'photographer' almost hit me in the face with his camera this morning," Baldwin tweeted, including the hashtag #allpaparazzishouldbewaterboarded.

TMZ reports Drake was in a good mood and left without drama.

Want Justin Bieber to dedicate a song to you? All you have to do is accuse him of fathering your child. Reportedly the song "Maria" on Bieber's new album is about Mariah Yeater, the woman who claimed she slept with Bieber after a concert and he was the father of her child. Of course, the allegations proved to be false but the Biebs wanted to have the last word on the matter. In the new song he sings, "Why you wanna do me like that? That ain't my baby, that ain't my girl."

Well, that didn't take long. Lindsay Lohan, fresh off probation, is being accused of battery. A woman filed a battery report, claiming Lilo got into a confrontation with her at a L.A. nightclub last Thursday night. The woman said Lohan pushed and shoved her when she began talking to a male friend of Lohan. The woman claims she was injured on her back and says she has visible bruises. Lohan claims she was home the night of the alleged attack and a representative for the actress said, "Lindsay was absolutely not involved in any sort of altercation whatsoever. This is clearly another case of someone looking for money and 15 minutes of fame." Though Lohan is off formal probation, she's still on informal probation for her necklace theft case until May 2014. If she were to get in trouble with the law, she could face 245 days in jail.

Given her history of DUIs, maybe Lilo could console Amanda Bynes, who after being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, was photographed with a pouty face while waiting for her BMW at the impound yard over the weekend. On Friday, she was arrested after she crashed her car into a police cruiser and was said to be intoxicated. Bynes was still in her clubbing outfit, a short skirt, heels and jacket, when she was photographed looking glum while waiting for her car. Do we have another Lohan on our hands?

Most boyfriends don't expect much in the way of birthday presents from a girl they've only been dating a few months, but most people aren't Casper Smart. For his 25th birthday, girlfriend Jennifer Lopez treated Smart to an intimate dinner party and a customized white Dodge Ram truck. Lopez even wished Smart a happy birthday on Twitter.
@BEAUcasperSMART 'Beau has a birthday we're so glad we hope it[']s the happiest Birthday Beau ever has!' #singingtweet.
Happy Birthday, indeed.

A 40-year-old woman accused of stalking Alec Bladwin was arrested outside the actor's NYC apartment Sunday night, reports TMZ. This is the third time she's allegedly attempted to contact Baldwin in the past two weeks. Genevieve Sabourin, a Canadian actress, showed up at Baldwin's Manhattan apartment and asked the doorman to buzz him. Baldwin was in the Hamptons at the time but was said to instantly recognize the woman's name and instructed the doorman to call the police. Sabourin was arrested for harassment and stalking. Can you imagine how bad the other Baldwin brothers have it?

For those that aren't aware, the upcoming Rock of Ages is based on the Broadway musical filled with classic rock hits of the 1980s, and just in case the first trailer didn't make it clear enough, the second trailer for the movie version wants audiences to know that the movie will still be filled with cast members singing those songs — even Tom Cruise.
Ostensibly about following your dreams, Rock of Ages follows two aspiring musicians (Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta) hoping to capture their moment in the spotlight while contending with eccentric club owners (Alec Baldwin and Mary J. Blige), money-hungry music executives (Paul Giamatti) and an angry Mayor's wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who wants to stop the rock 'n roll madness.

Alec Baldwin is having quite the week. Yesterday, he announced his engagement to yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas and the second Rock of Ages trailer was released with him front and center as the long-haired owner of a Sunset Strip club facing closure. Today the eldest of the Baldwin brothers turns 54. And, oh yeah, he took to twitter again to do battle, this time bashing the Daily News for photographing his fiance’s yoga class.

Mitt Romney's eldest son, Tagg, also took to twitter to proclain his displeasure. His target: Mad Men, which had character Henry Francis saying "Because Romney's a clown, and I don't want him standing next to him" on Sunday night's episode. Tagg tweeted "Seriously, lib media mocking my dead grandpa?"

Whatever happened to sweet Urkel? US Weekly reports that Family Matters alum Jaleel White "flipped out" after a seriously bad Dancing with the Stars rehearsal session with pro partner Kym Johnson on Friday. Reportedly when Johnson exclaimed "ouch" after he accidentally stepped on her foot, White "got in her face" and chastised her for "acting like a baby... He was shouting at her, calling her an 'idiot.'" Mark Ballas and eventually show producers intervened. Then again, maybe the whole story is fabricated.

TMZ reports that Bristol Palin's baby daddy is going to be a father for the second time. At least this time the Wasilla baby mamma is out of her teens. Levi Johnston's new girlfriend, 20-year-old preschool teacher Sunny Oglesby, is reportedly in the very early stages of pregnancy (less than 3 months).
