Carmen Electra may love rock 'n' roll, but it looks like she
didn't put another dime in Joan Jett's jukebox. The bombshell, 34, is pooh-poohing
whispers of a sapphic-tastic hookup with the 46-year-old rocker, whom she's been
palling around with in recent months. "They are just friends," Electra's rep
tells Us Weekly. The denial comes just days after Star declared them "in love"
and claimed they plan to turn up together at the forthcoming Dinah Shore golf
tournament, where, says a snitch, the former Mrs. Dave Navarro would "drop a huge bomb ... that's going to
surprise a lot of people." Electra, who became buddies with Jett after she
appeared in one of her videos last year, is scheduled to perform at the event,
but Jett will reportedly be a no-show. Meanwhile, the London Daily Mirror claims
Carmen has a "new man in her life," identifying the lucky fella as an agent
named Alberto.
After 28 long, arduous days inside the swanky, spa-like Promises rehab
facility, Britney Spears has been released back into society, where
the "false tabloids" are already abuzz with chatter that a big chunk of her
savings could end up in the baggy, saggy pants of soon-to-be ex-hubby Kevin Federline. TMZ.com, however, is laughing off claims
that K. Fed will skulk away with close to a $20-million divorce settlement,
saying an "airtight prenup" will limit his take to about $1 million (feel free
to insert a "chump change" joke here). As for arrangements surrounding Sean
Preston, 18 months, and Jayden James, 6 months, who have been in the care of
their dad during their mom's meltdown, Britney and Kevin will continue to divvy
up custody 50/50. "Kevin and his divorce attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, are very
happy and cautiously focused on Britney's rehab follow-through," an insider
tells People. "[But they] are not about to return custody to Britney as a reward
for her going through Promises." K. Fed, explains the source, will consider
giving Spears "increased custody [after] demonstrating that she is living the
life consistent with the best interest of her children." By the by, someone
who's dealt with Britney postrehab is paying her a backhanded compliment,
telling TMZ that she's now "nice as well as reasonable."
The busy lips of self-professed "make-out king" Pete Wentz apparently don't
get a break even when he's on vacation. Us says the eye makeup-addicted Fall Out Boy frontman recently enjoyed a "hush-hush" Mexican
sojourn with sometime squeeze Ashlee Simpson. "She really likes him," an Ashlee mole tells
the mag. Last month, you'll recall, Wentz callously dismissed rumors linking him
to the refurbished warbler, telling Rolling Stone, "Maybe in a different
universe, we'd be some hot couple, but not in this one." But that attitude
didn't stop him from getting hands-on with Simpson during a night out at Los
Angeles hot spot Hyde on March 12. "He massaged her back and played with her
hair," a spy tells Us. Ashlee, however, should probably keep her options open.
Says a Pete pal, "They aren't that serious."
In related news, Ashlee's big sister Jessica remains in the throes of schmoopiness with
John Mayer. E!'s Marc Malkin says the well-coiffed couple
joined about a dozen of their closest pals earlier this week for a
middle-of-the-night chow-down at a Los Angeles eatery, where they munched
on mac-and-cheese, frozen hot chocolate and buffalo wings (no word on whether
Jess entertained the crowd by reenacting her classic "I don't eat buffalo"
moment from "Newlyweds"). Simpson and Mayer, who just returned from a
PDA-crammed jaunt to Rome, were "very into each other" during their two-hour
carb-fest, says an eyewitness.
Lance Bass appears to be on the rebound from his breakup with Reichen
Lehmkuhl. The New York Daily News spied the former boy-bander "getting friendly"
with an "L.A.-looking blond guy" at a Manhattan bar Tuesday night.
Gisele Bundchen insists she's not mothballing her skimpy
Victoria's Secret lingerie for roomy maternity-wear anytime soon. "It's crazy
how people can make up these stories," she huffed this week on the Spanish TV
show "Corazon de Primavera," responding to rampant rumors that she's carrying
the spawn of boyfriend Tom Brady. "I'm not pregnant and I'm not planning to be
pregnant anytime soon. I have so many contracts to do, so many projects." The
Brazilian bombshell's denial puts an end to the many jokes in the "Brady Bunch"
oeuvre, which were sparked by the quarterback's already impending bundle of joy
with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. As for Gisele, she says a bun in the oven
"is just something I don't want now -- it's something for the future." Besides,
she says, "I'm 26 years old ... Why would I have a baby now?"
