Romance Report: Paris' 'Scumbag' Ex, Jen & John's PDA

"Every other guy I've been out with has used me for money or sex -- but in most cases they just want fame. It made it hard to trust people." That's Paris Hilton, tearfully sharing her tale of woe with Britain's News of the World as she promotes the U.K. version of her "BFF" series. She says one of those so-called users was Rick Salomon, her co-star in the decidedly unsexy, action-lacking sex tape that put her on the map. "I loved this guy for three years, but he betrayed me. Rick's a scumbag and I hate him," huffs the increasingly slimline starlet of the man who last year briefly became the third Mr. Pam Anderson. "It was just the most horrible thing that's ever happened to me. So humiliating and embarrassing. But at the end of the day, I didn't do anything wrong." Still, such lack of loyalty left her wondering "exactly why somebody wanted to be with me," she says. "And that made things really difficult." But from her dark, porn- and Greek billion-heir-littered past has emerged a brighter, Benji Madden-crammed present. "I'm so relieved I don't have to think about that now because I've found someone who loves me for me. Benji's my best friend, and I know he'd never hurt me," pronounces Paris, who with the Good Charlotte rocker recently went overboard with the lovey-dovey declarations as they denied rumors that his eye had wandered. "My love life's in the happiest place it's ever been. Benji's with me because he loves me and that's it. I know I can trust him, and he knows he can trust me." Hilton adds that she'd "love to start a family in the next year," but unlike sometime BFF Nicole Richie, who welcomed daughter Harlow in January with Benji's twin brother Joel, she prefers to go the more traditional route. "I want to get married before we have kids," she says. "I want three or four."

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer's resuscitated romance has been a boon for more than just the tabloids. It's also provided some well-deserved publicity for singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne, whose music has become the unofficial soundtrack for the capricious squeezes. The actress, 39, and the crooner, 31, turned up at LaMontagne's Los Angeles concert last Thursday, an outing that came just weeks after they re-emerged as a twosome by going on a "very public date" to the "Trouble" troubadour's show in Boston. "They were hugging," a spy at the Los Angeles performance tattles to E! News, "but there wasn't any kissing." Aniston and Mayer, who recently gushed on his blog that LaMontagne is as "brilliant as any artist that has ever lived," were equally hands-on earlier in the week as they hit their go-to spot, the Sunset Tower Hotel. An eyewitness tells People they "were very loving and sweet together -- very affectionate." At least when they weren't networking. "There were a lot of industry people around at other tables," adds the mole. "Every time they got up, they were saying 'hello' to someone else."

Speaking of meet-and-greets, Mayer apparently isn't interested in having one with his ex, Jessica Simpson. Both People and Us have details of their "awkward" chance encounter on Oct. 22 at the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel. Seems John walked by his Tony Romo-smitten former flame as she dined with a few pals and dad Joe -- and kept right on going. "They definitely locked eyes," a source tells People. "[But] they never interacted. ... Jessica had the 'I cannot believe this is happening' look on her face." Or, as the Us mole more succinctly recalls, she said "holy s---" as Mayer made a hasty exit. The frosty run-in comes three months after the direct-to-DVD country warbler publicly expressed her gratitude to her onetime boyfriend. "John believed in the Jessica Simpson that's within," she self-affirmed to Elle. "He cherished our love. He helped make me the woman I am today. John is going to be an amazing man for someone, but I know that I was supposed to be with someone else."

Interested in a little high school-style drama to take your mind off more serious matters, like, say, the election or the state of your 401(k)? Miley Cyrus seems only too happy to oblige. During a performance in Paris on Halloween, the not-quite-16-year-old powerhouse introduced "7 Things," a song she's hinted is about her pop idol ex, Nick Jonas, by sending it out to those unlucky-in-love tweens who "hate their ex-boyfriend." Then, as the song ended, Miley tossed out, "I still hate you." Those seemingly negative feelings make it something of a head-scratcher as to why her rumored beau, Justin Gaston, reportedly decided to dress up as a Jonas Brother (and possibly the Jonas Brother) for Halloween. The attention-seeking underwear model-cum-wannabe singer, 20, happily posed for paparazzi as he handed out candy to trick-or-treaters outside the Cyrus family home.

Is mutual goofiness the glue that's holding Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon together? The surprisingly durable couple donned two amusing getups to host a Halloween eve bash in New York, arriving dressed as firefighters (or, in the bra-flashing chanteuse's case, the Victoria's Secret version of a firefighter) before changing into a milk-and-cookie combo (Mariah sported a flesh-colored leotard covered in the chocolate chip-filled treats, thereby killing our Famous Amos craving for a good long while). People reports Mr. and Mrs. Cannon were celebrating their six-month anniversary at the soiree, an occasion that Nick, who was deejaying, marked by announcing from the booth, "I love you, and happy anniversary." Meanwhile, the New York Post says they were just as moony during a recent stop in Miami, with a spy, who's apparently read one too many romance novels, relaying how they "embraced lustfully like love-struck lovers" following one of Nick's DJ gigs. But the National Enquirer believes there's dirty weather ahead for the lovebirds, claiming they're battling over how and where to spend New Year's Eve. Mariah supposedly wants to celebrate quietly in the Bahamas, while Nick is said to be looking for a big payday to host a Las Vegas bash with his more famous missus. "Mariah and Nick love each other," a mole tells the tab, "but if they can't solve this problem, it could end up being a lonely New Year's Eve for them both."

Celebs vote, light up the campaign trail in 2008

Kate Beckinsale as she shows off her incredible figure in a new photoshoot

She battled anorexic at 15, shrinking down to just five stone, but Kate Beckinsale finally looks comfortable in her own skin.

The 5ft 8in actress stripped off to just her briefs and a cardigan for a photoshoot for the current issue of Elle magazine.

In the accompanying interview, the 35-year-old hits out at Hollywood's obsession with size.

She says: 'I'm amazed that people obsess over my body image so much. Why do we encourage this war on women's bodies? It's a horrendous way to live, and I refuse to.'

Kate, who stars in the upcoming drama Nothing But the Truth, says she now has a much healthier view of her body, which she once described as 'a twig with a bum and small breasts’.

'I’m entirely normal. I have my good days and my bad days. I am a lot more body confident now I’m in my thirties, and am in better shape, too.

'I didn’t have a clue [about healthy eating] when I was in my twenties – I’d eat a small breakfast and lunch and then have a baked potato for dinner and feel really horrible.

'Now my typical daily diet is eggs or oatmeal for breakfast, a chicken or vegetable wrap for lunch, then fish and vegetables for dinner. But if someone turns up with cupcakes mid-afternoon, I’ll have one. I’m not aiming to be Gisele.

'And I’d hate to be one of those people who won’t allow themselves a slice of birthday cake.’

But she still struggles to keep motivated when it comes to exercise.

‘I just can’t make it part of my daily life. I go to the gym when I have to, and if I have to bulk up or slim down for a film, I will.

'I’ve recently got back into exercising four times a week. I run for half an hour at a time but never outdoors as I don’t exercise in public. My gym’s in my garage at home.’

Kate, who lives in LA with husband Len Wiseman and her nine-year-old daughter Lily from a previous relationship, also addressed her friendship with the Beckhams.

'We just hung out and went for nice dinners. Victoria is lovely and very down-to-earth. She loves taking the p*** out of herself, which is a good thing as far as I’m concerned. We laugh a lot together.’

A Small Smooch

Ranae Shrider lays one on her little boyfriend, Verne Troyer. Later on, of course, this duo would make the most disgusting sex tape in the history of sex tapes.

Nicole Johnson is Definitely Michael Phelps' Girlfriend

We have a winner in the Michael Phelps Girlfriend Sweepstakes!

While Carrie Underwood and Stephanie Rice appeared to be in the running, it's clear that Nicole Johnson has now come out on top... of Phelps!

The former beauty pageant contestant - Johnson was a finalist for Miss California 2007 - was spotted at the airport alongside the Olympic champion earlier this week:

Brittany's kissing confession

Brittany Murphy has confessed that her best on-screen kisses have been with other women.

The '8 Mile' star, who was previously engaged to 'Punk'd' heartthrob Ashton Kutcher, admitted that locking lips with other Hollywood actresses was sexier than kissing her male co-stars.

She said: "I've been fortunate with the gentlemen I've kissed for work, but my most memorable on-screen kiss was with Reese Witherspoon in the movie 'Freeway', just because we were laughing so much.

"And my longest one was with Joanne Vannicola for this movie called 'Common Ground.'"

Meanwhile the blonde babe, who launched her career 10 years ago in hit teen movie, 'Clueless', says she became a comic-book geek for her latest film role.

The 27-year-old star, who lives in Britney Spears former home, said she holed herself with comic-strips in a bid to get understand her character in forthcoming movie 'Sin City' - and ended up comic-book addict.

She explained: "I read the three books they made into the movie because I wanted to see what it was all about. And now Frank Miller is a god to me.

"I knew there were die-hard fans, but I would have to include myself in that category now that I've read the books."

Hollywood Sex Scenes

In this file photo provided by Sony, Daniel Craig with Eva Green in "Casino Royale." Craig becomes the first fair-haired 007 James Bond and he is also more rugged than suave, and not as perfect looking as fans of the 44-year-old movie series have come toexpect

Basic Instinct (1992)-The film that introduced the world to Sharon Stone's crotch and gave Michael Douglas the chance to act out his sex-addiction on screen. Stone is the chief suspect in a murder investigation, while Douglas is the detective who gets alittle too involved in the case. Basic Instinct's infamous scene comes when Stone uncrosses her legs under interrogation.

Angelina Jolie And Antonio Banderas

Jolie was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award in 2001 for Worst Actress for her work in Original Sin and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Cindy Taylor on a runway.

I really have no idea who she is. But here are some sexy pictures of Cindy Taylor at the Ed Hardy 2009 swimwear fashion show. She’s pretty hot, although if this post had Ed Hardy only, it would be lame. The bikini portion really saves this post.

Kim Kardashian is back to hitting the gym.

I gotta say, Kim Kardashian is looking pretty good these days. Although all of us TRUE FANS do worry that she may lose too much weight. She is the lone renegade of Hollywood women that keeps that butt real. I would hope things could stay as such.

Spencer and Heidi, going to Iraq.

The couple is heading out to the Middle East as a part of a Christmas Card support. The possibility of a roadside bomb taking them out is likely a mere wet dream. God these two are lame, lame, lame….Many Iraqis are worried about the possibility of Americans being pulled out of Iraq. Wait until they meet this assclowns.

“It’s very important to me and important to Spencer to support the troops and go over there. She’s very sweet. I think Meghan McCain is helping organize Heidi and our Iraq trip. Her dad definitely has some pull with the military. I think she’s going to put that together for us.”

Sienna Miller labeled a homewrecker

Sienna Miller’s topless photos with a married man are now everywhere. The “other dude,” Balthazar Getty, is now announcing that he is separated from his wife, but that isn’t taking the British heat off of Sienna. Maybe next time don’t stand naked on a balcony? I don’t know, just a thought.

The Guardian says, It is believed that the writ relates to two articles that appeared in the Sun where Big Pictures contributed photos. The stories and pictures reported on Miller’s holiday in Italy and also referred to her friendship with Balthazar Getty, heir to the Getty oil fortune.

Lauren Conrad doesn’t make her neighbors happy.

Apparently Lauren Conrad and The Hills are ticking off the neighborhood. Since I am more one to find resolve, I suggest they move in next door to me. I can take it, I swear. LC is so freaking hot, I would be the best peeping tom neighbor they ever had, no complaints.

Radar online says,

On the never ending light show:
The neighbor continued, saying, “they’re running a soundstage over here.” Before Conrad moved into the house, she claimed MTV spent several noisy months heavily renovating it, adding at least two lighting grids in order to make every staged roommate-moment look like a glamour shot. “MTV keeps saying they’re going to end in October, that this is going to be the end,” she said, “but we don’t have it in writing.”

On having their Internet shut off during filming:
“We want some attention paid to the permits. We don’t want production crews parked in front of our homes all the time or our Internet blocked when they film.” Both complaining neighbors said they worked in the entertainment industry and were usually quite friendly to the frequent filming in their neighborhood, but that MTV was bucking regulations,

Kim Kardashian is all that and a bag of butt

Kim Kardashian was out shopping (what else?) in Hollywood yesterday. Looks like even though she is working out, her butt just keeps on growing. It’s truly incredible. Her butt is soooo sexy, and just keeps getting sexier. No complaints from me.

Kim Kardashian Poses for J Magazine

The United States of America isn't big enough to hold both of Kim Kardashian's breasts and her well-sized rear end.

As a result, the former sex tape star is posing in J Magazine, a random Porutguese publication that has peppered its pages with Kim in a bikini. Here's one of her poses from the shoot:
