Taylor Armstrong continues to explain intimate details regarding her husband’s suicide. Usher is being accused of ripping off someone else’s song. Maggie Gyllenhaal says she lends vibrators to her friends. ….. What?! Yeah, Thursday morning gossip will have you asking that question a lot.

• No offense, but … Russell Armstrong committed suicide well over a month ago, yet his wife Taylor Armstrong is still making media rounds as if it happened yesterday. Read what she told ET in a recent interview: “I’m sure a lot of people won’t understand this, but I asked the emergency workers if I could go in and hug him before they took him away, but they wouldn’t let me,” Taylor says, wiping away tears. “I just felt like I needed to see him one last time, but they wouldn’t let me.” She even goes on to explain how she broke the sad news to her 5-year-old daughter. She basically lied, and nothing is wrong with that. The kid is 5. It’s hard to tell a 5-year-old ‘Daddy killed himself.’ But still, why is she telling the whole world all of these personal and very private details about something so personal … and private??? She said, “As I was laying in the street screaming, I realized that my little girl was there and I had to pull it together to get her out of thereI just told her that daddy got sick and he died. [I told her] we could pick a star in the sky and it could be daddy, and that she could talk to him every night.” WTF? Someone please get this woman a seat and kindly tell her ass to make friends with it. That is all. [ET]
• Some non-famous guy is accusing Usher of stealing a song from him. Apparently, Usher “used” some material from said non-famous guy, who really wishes he were famous, like Usher, in his hit single “Burn.” (You know, that song EVERYONE loves from that “Confessions” album EVERYONE loves?) After a quick listen to that non-famous guy’s song, we hear NO similarities. None. Not even one. But still, that really un-famous guy got a judge to approve his case and is suing Usher!Imagine that. A non-famous person suing a very famous person, claiming that the famous person “stole” from them, and using some old, tired song that no one has ever heard of as some sort of “proof.” That has like, NEVER happened before. Has it? [Billboard]
• Trey Songz’ manager Kevin Liles and his wife Erika just had a baby. Congrats! [NYP]
• BET considers LL Cool J to be a Hip-Hop icon, so they’re giving him their prestigious “I Am Hip-Hop Icon” award at the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards next month. Okay? Get it? Got it? Good. Mr. Cool J will accept his award and lick his lips about 101 times on October 1st in Atlanta. [Star Pulse]
• Lindsay Lohan has finally found a job! And it doesn’t having anything to do with “blow” or “hand.” You know, the kinds of jobs Lilo is used to. Good for her for stepping outside of her comfort zone! [Radar]
• Some actress we’ve never heard of named Maggie Gyllenhaal (Sorry. We didn’t know Jake Gyllenhaal had a sister who acts. Shoot us.) is starring in a movie about the invention of vibrators called “Hysteria.” (We are so not joking.) And she says she was bombarded with so many of the female sex toys during shooting, that she now has enough to share amongst her friends: “By the time I finished the movie I’d been sent maybe 15 vibrators by different people in London with vibrator stores. It was a pleasant surprise. So I have this incredible collection, and I actually use like one or two of them. I lend them to my friends, and they’ll take them for six months at a time.” We’ve heard of women sharing clothes, shoes and even boyfriends. But sharing a sex toy is taking sh*t too far. TOO GOT DAMN FAR! [Contact]
• Kendra Wilkinson has a confession! “Hank and I had sex on a jet ski in Cabo. It was awesome… That’s the fun of it. Sex is sex… I’m not a PDA person, but I like sex in cars and stuff!” Oh … okay. [US]
• Speaking of attention whores. Levi Johnston (You remember Bristol Palin’s baby daddy, right?) is back with more news about that damn Palin family. Turns out, Bristol got pregnant on purpose just to spite her evil mom Sarah Palin. Levi told Wendy Williams in an interview that aired Wednesday: “Sarah had Trig and that really sparked [Bristol] to have a child. We previously talked about it, but that’s what really got her going on it. She was really jealous. And that’s what sparked us to have a child.” He then goes on to talk about how they had sex and other extremely personal details, like how her parents forced them to get engaged. Yada Yada Yada Yada Yadaya … Ya! GOT DAMMIT! Shut the F**K UP Levi! [THR]
• Some of the folks over at CBS say that Ashton Kutcher is “a really nice guy. Just a nice guy. And he’s OK on set. He gets the job done … that’s what we all want.” But ……….. “He’s just not as funny as Charlie. Not that we’d want Charlie back if you doubled our salaries, [but the show] just isn’t the same anymore. [Ashton Kutcher is a] safe replacement.”That sounds like a really really nice way of saying, “We want Charlie back.” And after seeing that Season 9 premiere Monday night, we kinda do too. **Insert sad face here** [Celebrity-Gossip]

Bristol Palin claims her virginity was stolen by her baby daddy Levi Johnston.

The 20 year-old, who recently released her new book, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far made an appearance this morning on “Good Morning America” and told Robin Roberts that underage drinking played a big factor in the incident.

“You open the book and you talk about, not that your virginity that you lost it, but you use the word ‘stolen’. That in essence, Levi got you drunk and stole, again your words, your virginity. Can you clarify that at all?” Robin Roberts asked on Good Morning America.

Bristol responded: “That’s what it felt like. I’m not accusing Levi of date rape or rape at all, but I am just looking back with the adult eyes that I have now and just thinking, ‘That was a foolish decision. I should have never been underage drinking and I should have never gotten myself into a situation like that.”

Roberts then went on to ask Palin how she feels about those who say she isn’t the right person to talk about abstinence. “How do you respond to those who question whether or not you’re the right person to talk about abstinence?” she questioned.

“You know, I hate the word abstinence. I was telling someone earlier that today,” Bristol said.

“I’m not an abstinence preacher, you know? I think that if you want to prevent teenage pregnancy that’s the only option. I talk about in the book how I was on birth control and obviously it wasn’t used effectively,” she adds.

“Abstinence is the only way you’re going to prevent teenage pregnancy. But if you’re going to have sex, practice safe sex. Very safe sex.”

Regardless of what happened … it still takes two to make a baby!

Sarah Palin‘s daughter’s fiance/baby daddy Levi Johnston is apparently in the clear (thanks to his attorney) following a story alleging Johnston of having a baby on the way by another woman. Levi Johnston, who is engaged to Sarah Palin’s 19-year-old daughter Bristol Palin, was said to have gotten an old girlfriend of his pregnant following his break-up with Bristol, with whom he already has a 1 and a half year old son named Tripp.

However, Johnston’s lawyer is shooting down the rumors, acknowledging that he did have a relationship with Lanesia Garcia while he and Palin were broken up, and is well aware of her pregnancy, but he is 1,000% sure that the baby isn’t his and made sure of that before he and Bristol made up.

Levi’s  attorney exclusively told ET:

“We spoke with this young lady personally to find out if her pregnancy had anything to do with Levi before the announcement of the engagement to Bristol. We did not want something like this to derail the marriage. She specifically told us no and that Levi had nothing to do with her baby. Someone waived a check under her nose and now she has come up with this opposite [scenario]…. Lets be clear, this is not Levi’s child….However, we realize that a person like Levi is vulnerable….anyone whose name is out there in the spotlight is subject to these types of allegations..in that regard, Levi is no different….you almost have to expect it to happen….and so it is….Levi’s focus will not be distracted by this….he will continue to move forward with the things that are important, working and making a living so he can support a family.”

That dayum Palin family is always involved in some type of drama! SMH…

British pop star Leona Lewis already has a reputation for being a good girl, but now she says she’s not only a good girl … she’s a “good diva.” And she’s not going around spending unnecessary money unlike her celebrity counterparts.

“The term ‘diva’ has such a negative connotation, but I see myself as a kind of good diva. I’m a next-door diva,” she said in the latest issue of Petra magazine.

Leona says she doesn’t make crazy demands and insists that she’s very frugal, unlike most pop stars in the industry. And her biggest purchases so far have been her house and her two cost-efficient environmentally friendly whips.

“The biggest things I’ve bought are a house and my two cars. One of the cars is a Mini Cooper. But in Los Angeles I always drive a Hybrid Toyota Prius which is very environmentally friendly.”

Here are a few pics of the “good diva” with Adam Lambert, Monique Coleman, Angela Simmons, LL Cool J, LaToya Jackson and more on the red carpet of the US Weekly Hot Hollywood Event. The star-studded event was held Wednesday night (Nov 18) at Vouyer in Los Angeles. Continue reading for the rest of the pictures…
