While Heidi and Spencer Pratt made claims that they were tortured while participating in NBC’s new show “I’m a Celebrity.Get Me Outta Here,” an on-set source says the allegations are bogus.

The “Hills” stars were kept in the Costa Rican jungle’s “Lost Chamber” for 14 hours, but the insider reported that during that time they were given rations.  “Any accusations that Spencer and Heidi were harmed are untrue.”

Spencer’s sister Stephanie Pratt, on the other hand, took to her blog to condemn the treatment.  “I’m really saddened to hear that nbc felt it was ok to punish speidi so harshly-and torture them as if they were criminals-that Heidi was…rushed to the hospital and has an IV in her arm after being locked in a dark room for 3 days w no food or water. Pls pray she will be ok.”

But the insider refutes Stephanie’s statements, saying, “There was no danger, no life-threatening situations-in fact, they were actually protected from the elements, unlike the other contestants.  When they came out, they were happy and in good spirits.”

Jail-plagued DMX is enlisting the help of Dr. Drew to kick his bad habit!

It’s been announced that the troubled rapper will be heading to the Pasadena Recovery Center for VH1’s 3rd season of Celebrity Rehab!

Rehab‘s resident drug counselor, the bespectacled Bob Forrest, has confirmed DMX’s involvement with the new season but has yet to reveal the names of any other celebs heading to detox.

The rapper has dealt with his fair share of drug related run-ins with the law, most recently a drug possession charge that landed DMX in jail for 90 days!

Will Dr. Drew be able to set the rap star straight??? Doubt it! DMX is probably just doing the show because they pay their "celebs" and he needs drug money!

Linda Hamilton is retuning to The Terminator!!!

The original Sarah Connor will have a voiceover role in the upcoming sequel, Terminator Salvation, directed by McG and starring Christian Bale!

Although very little details have been revealed about the context of the voiceover, sources who have seen the film have confirmed that "Hamilton’s voice over is in the film, and that it works very well in context. Her voice over is not long, and it comes at the very beginning of the movie."

Can’t wait!

Will the Governor be popping up in the sequel as well???

Sarah Jessica Parker, eternally known to us SATC fans as chic fashionista Carrie Bradshaw, enjoyed her first day of filming on the set of her new romantic comedy Did You Hear About The Morgan’s? on New York’s Upper East Side on Monday.

If you’re wondering what a handsome creature like 22-year-old model Jesus Luz sees in over the hill pop legend Madonna-besides her million dollar money bags that it is-you’re not alone.

Jesus’ former girlfriend doesn’t get it either.

Jesus dated fellow Brazilian Catharina Franca, an 18-year-old actress, for a year and a half before they split in 2006. The stunning Catharina is speaking out for the first time of her shock at discovering that her dashing ex is now involved in a passionate showmance with the Material Girl, 50; scoffing at the  couple’s 28-year age gap and condemning Madge as a “ridiculous old bag.”

“When I heard about him and Madonna I couldn’t believe it,” Catharina chuckles in a new interview with Britain’s Daily Mail. “I think Madonna is just with him for the attention…”

“I think the age makes a difference and it is ridiculous for her. It’s like my mom with a boyfriend my age, or even my grandmother. I think it’s very weird.”

Catharina continues, “I think she has some kind of an age complex, she still thinks she is a young woman, she can’t accept her age. I can’t remember him ever speaking about her or listening to her music.  She is famous but she is from a different generation altogether.”

“She is a ridiculous old bag, jumping around on stage at her age,” she adds.

Here are a few things you may not associate with the rich and famous: working as a janitor. Being part of an impoverished family of 14. Living on welfare. Getting shot. Being sexually molested.

And yet, early experiences like these have shaped and driven some of the most powerful and important celebrities in the world, from Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise and Sean “Diddy” Combs to Celine Dion and Oprah Winfrey. Is there a tie between a tough upbringing and fame? Social scientists, who are just beginning to study the phenomenon, say yes.

“We all have a basic need for acceptance and approval by social groups,” says Orville Gilbert Brim, author of The Fame Motive: A Treatise on its Origin and Life Course. “If it’s not satisfied, if a person is excluded either in infancy, childhood or, in many cases, adolescence, this frustration becomes the source of a motive or a desire to become famous.”
