Kat Von D Loses Cat, Home in Fire

Kat Von D's life just went up in smoke.
The outspoken tattoo artist is mourning the loss of her cat Valentine, whom she lost in a house fire. "R.I.P. my little Valentine," she tweeted Sunday.
That's so sad, not to mention scary. The L.A. Fire department was called and arrived at 11:23 p.m. Sunday to battle what was a very strong blaze.

The cause of Kat Von D's house fire is still under investigation.

"Fire fighters encountered heavy fire with extreme smoke but they were able to knock down the fire," the captain said. "There was no one home."
"My house burned down last night with my cat inside," Von D, who has been dating Jesse James since August, explained early Monday morning.
"Finally get to sleep away the rest of today. Hope tomorrow is gentler," the L.A. Ink star said. "To gain everything, you must lose everything."
Good to see she's staying strong through this.

Lily Allen: Engaged to Sam Cooper?

Is Lily Allen engaged to her boyfriend, Sam Cooper?
That's the rumor going around, just weeks after tragically losing her baby six months into her pregnancy. Now magazine claims Cooper popped the question.
A friend of Allen's told the publication: "Everyone's so proud of Lily. She's made a list of how to get through what can only be described as a horrible tragedy."

Engaged or not, Lily Allen and Sam Cooper sure are happy.

"This is the most awful situation in the world and she's aware that nothing can take away the hurt she feels at losing her and Sam's baby."
"Last week, Sam told Lily he can't live without her and wants to go ahead with the wedding plans. This has given her a major boost."
So are they getting married or not?
Allen, who was also admitted to the hospital with a blood condition shortly after losing her first child, has said that she needs "time to heal."
"He's been very supportive but he's hurting like hell as too, so they had a long heart-to-heart and have planned a holiday somewhere quiet."
They added: "Lily's a fighter and says if she can get through this, she can get through anything." So basically, we have no clue if she is.
Either way, we wish the singer the best.

Kate Gosselin Now Home-Schooling Troubled Kids

Jon and Kate Gosselin's troubled kids Collin and Alexis are reportedly "doing a lot better" since their surprising, recent expulsion from private school.
The six-year-olds were booted out of their Pennsylvania school and are currently being home-schooled by their famous (and controversial) mom.
Kate was forced to take over after Collin and Alexis' rage issues, including incidents of violence and bullying, continued to spiral out of control.

BEFORE THE RAGE: Collin and Alexis is simpler times.

The expulsion was a wake-up call for Kate, who is working to get their behavioral issues under control and providea more structured environment at home.
"The two kids are doing a lot better. It seems like they are happier now that they are receiving more attention to meet their needs," a source told Radar.
"Both Collin and Alexis are happy they are enjoying spending more time with their mother and also with (their dog) Shoka now that he has returned."
Kate and Jon Gosselin are on the same page when it comes to Collin and Alexis' structure for schoolwork and are directly addressing behavioral issues.
Jon and Kate hope that the troubled pair can even return to the same school next year to rejoin their brothers and sisters if things keep improving.
The kids' issues sparked fresh criticism over whether living their lives on TLC TV shows is hurting their development and causing behavioral woes.
Jon certainly believes it does, pleading with Kate to end it.
TLC and Kate have no such intentions of pulling the plug.
They're putting their differences aside now, though: "Jon and Kate are working to share time with the kids at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's."

Michael Brea: Charged with Gruesome Murder

Michael Brea has officially been charged with as gruesome a crime as one can commit.
The small-time actor was discovered inside his Brooklyn apartment yesterday morning, covered in blood, clutching a bible and standing near the bathroom where police found his 55-year old mother's dead body. Reports indicate Yannick Brea had severe cuts on her head, countering sources who originally claimed she was decapitated.
Police had to subdue Michael with a taser.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told The Associated Press that officers found the 31-year old actor - who appeared in Step-Up 3D - "in a bedroom... with a 3-foot sword."

After undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at a Brooklyn hospital, Brea was arrested on charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

UPDATE: Neighbors tell The New York Daily News they heard Brea screaming at his mother "Sinner! Sinner! You never accepted Jesus!" around the time of the alleged attack.

Amber Portwood's Baby Now Indiana's Problem

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood's daughter is now a ward of the state of Indiana, meaning her guardianship is determined by a judge and government agency.
It's the latest, most dramatic development yet in the ongoing saga of the MTV star, whose troubled, often violent life has played out on the popular MTV show.
Portwood and former fiance Gary Shirley appeared in an Anderson, Ind., courtroom Tuesday for an emergency child placement hearing concerning Leah.

It's official. Indiana has wrested control of Leah from Amber.

As the Department of Child Services assesses Leah's living situation, Leah, 2, remains under the state's control, even though she is staying with Shirley.
The Indiana Department of Child Services also supervised Amber Portwood's most recent visit with Leah at Gary's house, taking place Tuesday after court.
Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley declined to comment outside court.
Gary and Amber, whose violent altercations (which are basically one-sided, with him taking the pounding) appeared extremely friendly toward each other.
DCS will monitor Amber's progress in the wake of her felony battery charges, and determine if Gary's home is suitable for Leah to remain in permanently.
DCS has been probing Leah's living situation at Shirley's house and asked for changes that Shirley will comply with, one source close to the matter said.
Under Indiana law, if a child is found to be a "child in need of services" (CHINS) the child then becomes a ward of the state, which happened in this case.
Portwood gave Leah to Shirley recently, believing the toddler would be better off with him right now, given the demons she's battling. It was for the best.
Hopefully Clinton Yunker is there to comfort her in this tough time.

Rihanna Wants (Male) Kids With Matt Kemp

Is Rihanna ready to settle down?
In the December issue of Interview, Kanye West interviews the singer, who is much happier these days, and hints that motherhood may be on the horizon.
"It could be a year from now," she said. Seriously?

MOTHER-TO-BE: Rihanna is, just not anytime soon ... probably.

Of course, "It could be 10 years from now. Whenever is right, I don't really plan the age," Rihanna tells the magazine. "I mean, I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I think about kids. Whenever the time is right, I'll just know."
This much is certain: the pop star has found a great match in L.A. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp in January, and wants an all-male household with him.
"If I had a girl, she'd probably be really rebellious," the singer laughs, alluding to her Good Girl Gone Bad ways. "She would be like a bundle of karma."
As for where she would raise her brood, Rihanna says she "would love to bring them up in Barbados," though her job may prevent that from happening.
"I can't live that far away from everything now, without kids," she explains. "I certainly couldn't raise kids and [have a career] with the schedule I have."
She's 22, fortunately, so she's got time.

Ke$ha Ain't Going Nowhere!

She doesn't have the best singing voice around - as evidenced by this AMA performance - but Ke$ha has a message for critics in the latest issue of Complex: She ain't going nowhere!
And while she's sticking around the music business, she might as well do so on roller skates...

In an interview with Complex, Ke$ha touches on everything from being turned on by pocket change to being compared to Lady Gaga. Read a few excerpts below:

What turns you on that people would find bizarre?
A bag full of quarters.

Is there a specific type of beard that you're into?
I like the rugged, mountain-man beard, personally. I won't discriminate, but my favorite kind of beard is one that could potentially be a homeless beard. Like, you actually have to discover if they're un-groomed for a reason. I like a really unkempt beard.

Are you tired of the comparisons people draw between you, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry?
I actually think that's cool. Out of that group of chicks, I'm the new bitch on the block, so I'm still getting used to being compared to some of the biggest pop stars in the world, but I don't take any offense to it. That just means people know my records.

Michael Lohan: Lindsay Wasn't Fired, She Quit!

Michael Lohan is slamming the director of Inferno, Matthew Wilder, for lying about firing Lindsay from the lead role in his upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic.
Celebuzz talked to Michael who claims that, in no uncertain terms, "Lindsay left Inferno. Wilder can shove it up his butt. She didn't want to do that movie."
"He's full of it. He was trying to ride our coattails."

ADVENTURES OF MILO: Today's task? Defend daughter's name!

Lindsay Lohan's highly-anticipated lead role in Inferno had been in limbo after failing drug tests, spending a few weeks in jail and landing in rehab indefinitely.
This caused shooting to be delayed, at which point Wilder said he let Lohan go and replaced her with Malin Akerman. It made sense ... but MiLo's crying foul.
"She doesn't need to do a movie like that," Michael Lohan said. "Give me a break. What a great thing to do for a girl that's going through recovery."
"Put her in a position to act in a position where she's a drug addict. Real genius, and he cares, right? Come on. Biggest hypocrite on the planet."
"If he wants to say he fired my daughter, let him say to to my face."
Your move, Wilder.
