Here’s the Scoop….

Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander is following in the footsteps of
actresses Queen Latifah, Valerie Bertinelli, Phylicia Rashad,
and Kirstie Alley as the next celebrity spokesperson for
Jenny Craig.

Jason hopes to drop between 30 and 40 pounds on the popular
weight-loss plan. Jason says he chose Jenny Craig for the
“deadly combination of I’m fat and they [the program] work.”

But will he pose in a bikini like Valerie and Kirstie did
when they worked their waistlines down on the program? Jason
says “Don’t hold your breath. That’s where I draw my
feminine line.”

Russell Brand and Katy Perry Are Engaged…

Comedian Russell Brand and singer Katy Perry are engaged,
his rep confirmed.

Rumors to that effect began circulating over the holidays,
and became especially loud Tuesday night. Katy, Tweeted
around 1 a.m. New York time from Thailand on Wednesday an
oblique reference to an Alanis Morrisette song: “So when do
I start walking the streets naked singing that Alanis song?”

Morrisette’s lines in “Thank You” include: “How about me just
enjoying the moment for once” and “Thank you India” (where
the couple vacationed recently).

For his part, Russell, was quoted in Wednesday’s editions
of Britain’s Sun tabloid as texting, “It’s true. Much love.”

The couple, who have been dating since the fall, have been
nearly inseparable since hooking up. But that there were
rumors of nuptials wasn’t surprising: Brand hinted earlier
this month that he foresaw having kids with the singer,
famous for her over-the-top fruit-themed props.

On the domestic front, Katy has already introduced the
comedian to her religious parents, and once showed off a
pair of undies embroidered with the colors of his favorite
soccer team, West Ham United.

Mariah Carey’s Sloshy Awards Show Speech Turns Heads…

Mariah Carey had attendees at the Palm Springs International
Film Festival awards gala scratching their heads.

After she was escorted on stage, she greeted her presenter
and Precious director Lee Daniels at the podium with a
little dance and a big hug.

Mariah then busted out in laughter as she staggered to form
a sentence while accepting the Breakthrough Actress award
for her performance in Precious.

“Please forgive me because I’m a little bit um, yeah!” she
said between fits of laughter.

As Mariah praised the director’s speech, she kept bursting
into applause. “Sorry,” she told Daniels. “Sometimes I get
a little …” she then paused to snap her fingers,
adding “… you know, difficult.” Then she giggled again.

Before leaving the stage, Mariah thanked the audience “for
listening to my little spiel, and God bless you.”

Backstage, USA Today reports, the diva kept photographers
waiting, and would only be photographed on her right side.

In 2001, Mariah had fans scratching their heads after she
performed an impromptu striptease on MTV’s TRL. Host Carson
Daly quipped, “I’m still shell-shocked.” A short time later,
she checked herself into the hospital for medical and
psychiatric care.

Jimmy Wayne Walks Halfway Across America…

Country music recording artist Jimmy Wayne launched his “Meet
Me Halfway” campaign on January 1, 2010 when he beganhis solo
walk halfway across America in Nashville, TN.

Jimmy’s intention is not only to raise awareness of the plight
of the homeless, especially at risk children, teens and young
adults, but also raise funds for organizations that benefit
homeless youth.

The country star will began the walk at 10:00 a.m. CT on January
1st at Monroe Harding in Nashville, another organization that
services at risk children and young adults. His plan is to walk
to Phoenix, AZ.

“I realize beginning a mission like this in the dead of winter
and walking through the middle of the country is going to be
difficult, but I hope and pray I am up to the challenge,”
Jimmy said. “It’s going to be cold, rainy and maybe even
snowing and that ground I sleep on at night is going to be
really hard. But that’s what the homeless are dealing with
each and every winter they go without a home of their own.
Our country is too great for us to have people who are
suffering so.  And events of the past 12 to 14 months have
increased the number of people—especially children and young
adults—without a safe place to sleep. We as a nation have got
to end homelessness and we’ve got to help these kids.”

Tiger Woods Has Been Staying With NY Billionaire…

As speculation continues to grow on Tiger Woods’ whereabouts,
reports say that Tiger, hasbeen staying with his billionaire
pal Jim Dolan, the controversy-prone CEO of Cablevision and
owner of Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks.

“Jim reached out to Tiger,” one knowledgeable source says,
adding that Jim invited Tiger to hide out at his $13.5
million fortress-like waterfront estate,the main house of
which is a 10,000-square-foot colonial mansion, on New
York’s Long Island a week after his sex scandal broke.

“Tiger’s been seeing a shrink who goes to Jim’s house,”
says the source.

Though an MSG spokesperson denies Tiger is at Jim’s home,
commenting, “It is categorically false and preposterous on
its face,” father of five Jim, who has talked about
conquering his drug and alcohol addictions after a rehab
stint in 1993, has a history of helping troubled athletes,
including basketball player Vin Baker, who battled alcoholism.

The source adds that Jim has even opened up his fleet of jets
to Tiger, whose own plane ferried Tiger’s wife Elin from
Switzerland back home to Florida.

“He’s the one keeping him under the radar,” says the source.
“Jet-setting everywhere. I know Tiger’s flown on Jim’s jet
from Florida probably three times.”

The source adds that Nike, one of the few Tiger sponsors that
hasn’t dropped him as a spokesman, let him use their jet for
at least one trip.

Demi Lovato Denies Dating Joe Jonas…

Heard a rumor from a little bird? Well, Demi Lovato has Tweeted
a firm denial regarding those reports that she is dating
Joe Jonas.

“There’s been a lot of rumors lately that I’m dating one of my
best friends Joe. I can promise my entire career that I am not.
It’s unfortunate that some people out there are so desperate for
attention that they have to make up gossip to keep their site
alive,” Demi wrote on her official Twitter page.

She added of her Camp Rock 2 costar,”We’ve NEVER dated. He’s
incredible, but we don’t have feelings for each other in that
way. I love you guys, and I wouldn’t lie about that.”

Rihanna Embarrassed by Falling in Love with Chris Brown…

Only after she had a revelation about her duty to her fans did
Rihanna realize that she had to speak out about how she was a
victim of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown’s domestic abuse.

And now? Now she’s almost ashamed of herself for having gotten
into a relationship with him in the first place.

“I fell in love with this person,” she tells Diane Sawyer in
an interview that aired on Good Morning America Thursday.
“That’s embarrassing.”

Rihanna, also hinted that it may have taken “eight or nine
attempts” before she could finally leave the relationship.

“It’s pretty easy to go back,” she says, affirming Dianne’s
statement that the average woman makes seven attempts to leave
an abusive partner. “You start lying to yourself. The physical
wounds go away. You want this thing to go away. This is a
memory you don’t want to ever have again.”

Now a reconciliation is all but impossible – a judge has
ordered Chris, not to contact Rihanna for five years as part
of his sentence.

Rihanna says she was further humiliated by the public nature
of the incident, which included a leaked photo of her battered
face.

“I was like, here goes my little bit of privacy,” she says.

But she had an epiphany about how her actions after the assault
would affect thousands of impressionable girls.

“When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result
in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with
that part,” she says. “I couldn’t be responsible for that. Even
if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say their boyfriend won’t?
Who’s to say they won’t kill these girls? I didn’t realize how
much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that
happened.”

Kardashian and Bush Are House-Hunting Together…

The Kardashian family sure move fast: One sister is expecting
her first child, another recently got married, and now Kim
Kardashian is looking for a house with on-again boyfriend
Reggie Bush.

“After they got back together they were both looking for new
places and decided to take the next step in their relationship,”
a close source says.

Kim, and Reggie, broke up for a while, but reconciled
in September.

Shortly after they reconnected, Kim said she was selling her
condo. “I love my condo, it’s beautiful. However, Ifeel that
it’s time to move into a home,” she said. “I will miss it,
for sure.”

At the time, Kim didn’t say if part of her motivation to
move might be so she could find a place that might also
accommodate both her and Reggie.

As for why they decided to get back together, Kim said last
month: “We just made the decision that we want to make it
work, and the time off was really beneficial for the both of
us. I think sometimes people need to take a break just to take
time off to seehow much they need each other and how much they
really are compatible.”

Lohan Stands Up to Her Father…

Are things coming to a head? Or is it just more of the Lohan
family saga?

Lindsay continued her Twitter attacks on her father Thursday
in response to his leaking of voicemails of the sobbing actress.

“Its so sad that I even have to share this w/everyone, but I
haven’t had a real relationship w/Michael Sr. in years. That
is the truth. Xox,” she Tweeted. “I just hope I can show
others how to be strong through times & to be able to stand
up for yourself and loved ones no matter what!”

She does find a silver lining her in estrangement: “Good news
is, I haven’t called him many times @ all-so, it will end
sooner than later!!! Lol”

Michael released the recording last week to Radar Online

and she’s reportedly weighing her legal options, including
the possibility of getting a restraining orderagainst him.

Michel Lohan said he’s worried about his daughter, whom he
believes is battling an addiction. “I want to get her into a
long-term rehab to get off the prescription medication and
whatever else,” he says. “Regardless of what people say
to me, Lindsay is my first concern.”

Mariah Carey Says She Was Abused…

Mariah Carey says she sympathizes with Rihanna, who was
assaulted by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown last February, because
she herself has been the victim of emotional and mental abuse.

In an interview airing Wednesday night on CNN’s Larry King
Live, when asked how she reacted to the Rihanna news, Mariah
responds, “I was very sequestered, as you know, when I first
started out … I wasn’t really allowed out of the house, so I
can’t imagine what she went through.”

Yet when pressed if she had ever personally been the victim of
abuse, Mariah, who married singer Nick Cannon, last year, does
admit to painful episodes in a previous relationship.

“Emotionally, mentally, in other ways … It’s scary,” she says.
“You know, I just think you get into a situation and you feel
locked in. If your situation is similar to one of the situations
I’ve been in, which I won’t harp on, for me, to really get out,
it was difficult because there was a connection that was not only
a marriage but a business thing, where the person was in control
of my life.”

In the interview, Mariah also shoots down rumors that she’s
pregnant, telling King, “It would be the happiest thing in my
life, but what I’m saying is right now with this movie [Precious]
coming out, with the next few singles from the album and those
things that I’m doing, I need to focus on that, because I cannot
do the having-a-child thing halfway.”

“I wouldn’t be just like, ‘Oh, I’m having a child, Yay! Let me
get a nanny so I can give her the baby. Take the kid,’ ” Mariah
adds.”That doesn’t work for me. I don’t believe in that.”

*-*-* GUESS WHO *-*-*-

This actress knows that her rumored romance with her costar gets
fans worked into a tizzy, and that’s exactly why she’s not giving
up the goods on their relationship…

It’s Kristen Stewart…

“I probably would’ve answered [the romance question] if people
hadn’t made such a big deal about it,” she tells Entertainment
Weekly. “But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer.”

Kristen, whose star has risen dramatically with her role as
Bella Swan in the Twilight series, says she doesn’t buy the idea
that because she’s famous, she has to give up her private life.

“I know that people are really funny about ‘Well, you chose to be
an actor, why don’t you just [expletive] give your whole life
away?! Can I have your firstborn child?,’ ” Kristen says.

Kristen, figures that no matter what she says, tongues will still
wag. “I’ve thought about this a lot,” she tells the magazine.
“There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other.
Think about every hypothetical situation: ‘Okay, we are. We aren’t.
I’m a lesbian.’”

She adds: “I’m just trying to keep something. If people started
askingme if I was dating Taylor Lautner, I’d be like ‘F— off!’
I would answer the exact same way.”
