Why Jodie Foster Finally Stepped 'Out'

Promised dying gay friend, who may be baby daddy: Daily Mail

(NEWSER) - Jodie Foster’s tentative move out of the closet, at an awards show last week, may be the work of an old friend who, rumor has it, may be the father of her children, the Daily Mail reports. Foster thanked her live-in partner Cydney Bernard—calling her “my beautiful Cydney”—to fulfill a promise to gay director Randy Stone, the Mail says, an old friend who died in February, after making Foster promise to come out.

A masseur hired by Travolta claims the movie star took him to a Beverly Hills Hotel bungalow, stripped to nothing, appeared semi-erect, and touched the masseur's scrotum and penis during the massage, TMZ reports. When the masseur declined to fool around, Travolta cried, "Come on dude, I'll jerk you off!" Travolta then completed that very deed, but on himself. More»

6 Cop Cars Track Down Amanda Bynes

Hollywood actress allegedly nicks car, keeps on driving

(NEWSER) - At least she didn't sideswipe a cop car this time. But according to police, Amanda Bynes grazed a pick-up truck with her Range Rover in LA yesterday and kept on driving, People reports. The other driver's 911 call prompted a police response—to the tune of six police cars and an LAPD police helicopter. The cops stopped Bynes but filed no charges, saying the damage "was so minor that it was very plausible she had no idea that she hit anyone." Bynes, who appeared sober, politely exchanged insurance information with the other driver ... and pulled out into traffic. More»
